Rise of Australia

Chapter 109 When Winning People's Hearts In Progress (Please Subscribe!)

The colonial government of New Zealand prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Arthur.It is also at the port, but the welcome crowd has all become New Zealanders.

It is said that they are New Zealanders, but in fact most of them are of British descent like Australians. After living in New Zealand for tens of hundreds of years, they regard this land as their home.

It is precisely because of this that they will not resist rulers like Arthur who come from the British royal family and who have the same skin and the same language.

In the case where Arthur came with the Relief Committee, then they would immediately welcome them.

Here, Arthur also managed to meet General Piers Anthony, Commander of the New Zealand Garrison, and New Zealand officials who had previously participated in Australia Day activities.

Seeing Arthur again, those New Zealand officials seemed very enthusiastic, and one by one came forward to salute Arthur.

After waiting for these people to salute, Arthur formally met with the New Zealand commander, General Pierce.

As one of the commanders of the colonial garrisons of the British Empire, General Pierce has a very luxurious resume. He graduated from a famous military academy in the UK, and has worked in the local army, the Guards army, and the colonial army for more than ten years. Appointed as Garrison Commander of New Zealand.

Although he only commanded a garrison of 3000 people in New Zealand, when General Pierce returned to the UK, he would definitely be promoted to a position above division commander.

Arthur still has some good feelings for General Pierce. After all, it is General Pierce's [-] garrisons that keep New Zealand's security situation very good.

"Honorable Duke of Australia, His Royal Highness the Governor-General of New Zealand, welcome to New Zealand!" General Pierce stepped forward and said respectfully to Arthur with a smile on his face.

Although he was the colonial commander in charge of the military, General Pierce still understood the identity gap between himself and Arthur.

If the previous New Zealand garrison could compete with the colonial government, then after Arthur's arrival, the New Zealand colonial government would no longer be able to compete with his 3000-strong garrison.

Even if he dares to disobey the order, I am afraid that Arthur can change his position as New Zealand commander at any time.

You must know that these New Zealand garrisons are all composed of New Zealanders. Although there are also some British officers, Arthur is also from the British royal family.

Once Arthur gained the trust and recognition of the New Zealanders, it was a question of whether his 3000-strong army would listen to him.

After meeting with all the officials, Arthur did not go directly to the government building where the New Zealand colonial government was located, but stayed directly at the port, allowing the guards to clear an open space and start giving speeches on the spot.

Now that we are determined to eat up the land of New Zealand, it is necessary to first gain the hearts and trust of the New Zealanders as the first step.

For a ruler who has a prominent noble status and is the legal ruler of a certain area, it is really easy to win the hearts of the people.

Just imagine, the ruler of a country, the prominent aristocrats definitely have more trust in people's guarantees and speeches than those politicians!

After all, the monarchy can be regarded as the mainstream in this era. Any monarch and ruler cherishes his reputation very much, and basically will not make such a move to break his promise in public.

After all, the prestige and prestige of the monarch determines the credibility of the royal family. Once the credibility of the royal family is insufficient and people no longer believe and trust the royal family, both the royal family and the monarch may lose their dominance.

After all, the trend of liberalism in Europe is still very scary. Even as a great power, France has undergone several changes, from a monarchy to a republic?

Compared with those politicians who made big cakes during the campaign and did nothing when they took office, most monarchs at least know how to be considerate of their own people.

"People of New Zealand, I am Conrad Arthur, Duke of Australia and Governor of New Zealand. It is an honor to be temporarily your ruler over this prosperous region for 20 years. In my opinion, all New Zealanders, like Australians, are new nations evolved from European immigrants. Even our origins are the same, and our purpose is also the same." Arthur said to all the crowd.

"Australia and New Zealand are both lands in Oceania. Whether we are Australians or New Zealanders, we have the same purpose in essence. We all want to protect this great land and let this land prosper."

"Now, Australia has completed the first steps, raising the per capita income level of all Australians, building industrial areas, and also planning to build a huge railway through Australia. At this important moment, I think it is also time to ride the wave of development Push it to New Zealand, and let New Zealand rise and prosper along with Australia." Arthur said with a smile.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Will you also build industrial zones and railways for New Zealand? Will you also increase the per capita income of New Zealanders?" the New Zealander asked impatiently.

They also used to be part of Australia, and New Zealand used to be similar to Australia.

As a colony of the British Empire, the incomes of New Zealanders and Australians are relatively low.

But since Arthur was crowned the Duke of Australia, the development of Australia has changed dramatically.

Industrial areas, ports, railways, highways, hospitals, schools, universities, nursing homes, orphanages.

One building after another has risen from the ground, not only greatly improving the living standards and basic conditions of Australians, but also leaving a deep impression on the hearts of New Zealanders.

Isn't the reason why Australia has experienced such a huge change in just over two years is that they have one more monarch?

Turned Australia from a colony into an independent principality, and greatly reduced the taxes of Australians.

Compared with all happy Australians, New Zealanders are treated much worse.

As a colony, the New Zealand government has to hand over a large amount of income to the British Empire every year, and many of these incomes are squeezed from New Zealanders.

Seeing that Australia, which can be said to be a brother, has gradually developed and prospered, and looking at myself, not only has to face strict taxes, but it is not even an independent country, the tears of envy of New Zealanders can't stop come out.

"It is inevitable to increase the income of all New Zealanders. As your Governor-General, I cannot see a large number of New Zealanders still living in poverty. At least I should guarantee that no New Zealander will worry about hunger." Arthur He nodded of course.

"However, issues such as the construction of industrial zones and railways require the consultation of all officials of the colonial government. And New Zealand should not have a lot of funds to build these facilities. However, if the New Zealand colonial government agrees to build in New Zealand, I, as the Duke of Australia And the Governor of New Zealand is also willing to provide enough development funds for New Zealand in the form of loans." Arthur looked at the impatient New Zealanders and replied with a smile.
