Rise of Australia

Chapter 100 New Zealanders Shocked (Subscribe!)

It is easy for a boy to have an impulse in his heart, wanting to join the army and defend his family and country.

Under the influence of these soldiers from the Guards Cavalry Battalion, this idea was born in the hearts of many Australians.

Among other things, just look at these guards uniformly dressed and equipped, walking towards him on horseback with uniform steps. This kind of visual shock is enough to change a person's inner thoughts.

The crowd cheered and applauded everywhere in the square, but it could not cover up the shouts of the soldiers of the Guards as they passed the parade.

The Guards refer to the troops that obey Arthur. In their eyes, the glory of Arthur and the royal family is above all else.

That's why they cry for His Royal Highness's glory, not Australia's.

This is a private army belonging to Arthur, and they are also the most effective guarantee of Arthur's power.

Appearing behind the Guards Cavalry Battalion is the cavalry unit after training this time.

They were riding on Australian Mustangs produced in Australia, and all their weapons and equipment were the same as those of the soldiers of the Guards.Except that they are dressed in the uniform of ordinary British soldiers, they look no different from the cavalry soldiers of the Guards.

But this is an army made up of Australians.All the soldier commanders are all composed of Australians, and even the commanders are temporarily served by talents who are relatively outstanding in this training.

Compared with the Royal Guards, which are high in the hearts of everyone in the British Empire, these soldiers are undoubtedly closer to ordinary people.

They are all trained by ordinary civilians after joining the army, which also means that everyone has the hope of becoming one of them.

"For the glory of Your Highness and Australia!" When the troops came to the parade, they shouted the same thing, but the content of the shout was a little different.

As the regular Australian Defense Force, Australia's glory is also part of their defense.

The same allegiance is Arthur, which is the biggest difference between the Australian Army and the Guards.

Of course, in the training, Arthur has already mixed a lot of ideological education, so it can also ensure that these soldiers are loyal to the royal family and Arthur.

Even in order to stabilize his position in the army, Arthur also deliberately set up ideological education instructors in these armies. In the future, the reorganized army will also have the role of an instructor. In name, he is the staff officer of the commanders of each unit. The above is the candidate to carry out loyalty and patriotism education for Arthur in the army.

Only by firmly grasping the army's thinking and making the army loyal to itself at all times can Arthur's rights be completely guaranteed.

Just as these Australian troops caused a great stir among Australians, these Australian troops also aroused the attention and surprise of New Zealanders.

New Zealand also has a garrison of 3000 soldiers. Like the Australian army, these soldiers are all from New Zealanders.

Apart from the fact that the Commanding Officer of the Army is a British designation, the majority of the Army's middle and lower ranks are also New Zealanders.

But such an army is not very powerful, and it can only be used to maintain order in the New Zealand colony.

In the face of foreign aggression, whether the New Zealand garrison can defend New Zealand's tranquility is a very serious question.

Fortunately, the fleet of the British Empire is very powerful, coupled with the prestige of the first power of the British Empire, it is enough to ensure that the territory of the British Empire will not be invaded or provoked in peacetime.

"His Royal Highness, I think it is necessary to train and strengthen New Zealand's garrison. New Zealand also needs such a powerful force to protect and maintain order." The New Zealand official said tentatively to Arthur.

The position of governor is naturally not as good as Arthur's title, so New Zealand officials chose a more honorable duke when addressing him.

"This matter should be discussed with New Zealand commander General Pierce Anthony, right? Although I am the governor of New Zealand, I don't seem to have the right to order Commander Pierce." Arthur was not surprised by the New Zealand official's proposal, but directly asked back.

"Your Highness, as the Duke of New Zealand, and as the Governor of New Zealand, it is not difficult to persuade Commander Pierce, right? If you can strengthen the training of the New Zealand army, all New Zealanders will be grateful to you, Your Highness." The New Zealand official continued to seduce. .

In fact, it was not difficult, or even very easy, to persuade Commander Pierce to agree to strengthen the training of the New Zealand army as Arthur.

But Arthur also understands the mind of the New Zealand officials very well, that is, like Australia, after New Zealand becomes independent in the future, it can get a well-trained army for free.

You must know that after successful independence, Britain will withdraw most of its forces and military commanders.

This also means that the army will lose its combat effectiveness in a short period of time until a new commander is trained to replace it.

If New Zealand is allowed to do this by itself, it may take at least one or two years of training to develop truly capable commanders.

However, if these soldiers can be trained in advance, and capable personnel can be selected and trained as officers, they will be able to take over the army smoothly when the British commander leaves.

This time difference is enough for the army to stabilize the order in New Zealand, and it is also very important for the newly independent country.

But these New Zealanders seem to have forgotten one thing, Arthur is the Governor of New Zealand.At least during Arthur's 20-year tenure, Arthur did not want New Zealand to be completely independent.

In other words, Arthur did not want New Zealand to become independent from Australia's control.

Within these 20 years, there is only one way for New Zealand to become independent, and that is to join the sphere of Australian rule and become a self-governing state of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Seeing that Arthur had already expressed his refusal, the New Zealand officials had no choice but to shut up resentfully.

Although Arthur didn't care much about New Zealand's affairs, he was still the governor of New Zealand, and he was the Duke of Australia, so he couldn't be offended by a small colonial official.

"I think New Zealand should have certain rights. After a while, I will personally go to New Zealand to investigate the people's livelihood and public opinion in New Zealand. Before that, I hope that New Zealand can maintain a stable state and not cause more trouble." Arthur will Looking at all the New Zealanders, he said calmly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Arthur's order is not something they can refuse, no matter in terms of identity or the troops behind Arthur.
