Chapter 116 Repairing the North Island Railway (please subscribe!)
"In the next two years, the Coalition Party's most important plan is to increase New Zealand's recognition of the Coalition Party and its recognition of the coalition with Australia. I hope that there will be a specific report on the Coalition Party's actions every once in a while, I will also strongly support your actions." Arthur glanced at Grant and said with a little deep meaning.

"I understand, Your Highness. The coalition of Australia and New Zealand has always been the pursuit of the Coalition Party. We will do our best to get more New Zealanders to support the union of New Zealand and Australia. I believe that the country formed by the combination of New Zealand and Australia will be stronger, This is a choice that New Zealanders and Australians will not regret." Grant nodded quickly, promising to speak generally.

Mayor Grant's action was indeed very fast. On the second day, members of the Coalition Party could already be seen on the streets of Wellington promoting the Coalition Party's ideas. Slogans about uniting Australia and jointly building a beautiful Oceania emerged endlessly. .

Originally, the New Zealand colonial government still suppressed political parties to a certain extent, but under Arthur's signal, the New Zealand government did not carry out any boycott this time, but chose to let the Coalition Party act.

But from the public's point of view, the government did not carry out any opposition, which is actually regarded as tacit approval.

On the premise that the government did not object, more people joined the Coalition Party, and even some members of the New Zealand Labor Party, after hesitant thinking, chose to give up their status as members of the New Zealand Labor Party and joined the Coalition Party instead. .

Under the premise of Arthur's secret support and the inaction of the colonial government, the development momentum of the Coalition Party could no longer be stopped. In just one week, the Coalition Party's members had expanded to more than 200 people, and its forces had successfully moved northward to New Zealand. The development of major cities on the island.

Under a conservative estimate, the Coalition Party can attract thousands of members within at least two years, and these people will also play a vital role in guiding New Zealand's major cities.

For Arthur, the current Coalition Party is a boost to the annexation of New Zealand. The larger the Coalition Party has, the faster the annexation of New Zealand will progress.

This is why the Coalition Party was able to gain the support of Arthur, and the reason why the colonial government did nothing.

Without the participation of the British Empire, Arthur is the person with the highest voice in New Zealand, and there is no one.

Even General Pierce, one of the top leaders in New Zealand before, had no chance of winning against Arthur.

Although the Coalition Party's current development momentum in New Zealand is unstoppable, it is impossible for Arthur to sit in New Zealand all the time.

But Arthur isn't worried about the Coalition growing beyond his control.New Zealand is not a free country in Europe, and the limited freedom in New Zealand can only be had with Arthur's permission.

Not to mention whether the Coalition Party will be out of Arthur's control within two years, under the current background of New Zealand, even if the Coalition Party is given ten years, it is absolutely impossible to go out of Arthur's control.

In the context of New Zealand being a self-governing colony, the biggest right the Coalition Party currently has is only a majority of the seats in the Political Council.

And the right of the political group is also bestowed by Arthur, and can be withdrawn at any time.

It is absolutely impossible for the Coalition Party that has lost power to escape Arthur's control, not to mention that the leader of the Coalition Party, Grant Wilson, is even more under Arthur's control.

Let the Coalition Party continue to grow freely and savagely, Arthur, accompanied by a group of officials from the colonial government, inspected the North Island of New Zealand, including the factories, railways, highways, schools, hospitals and various places established by New Zealand before. All kinds of public facilities are within the scope of Arthur's inspection.

Now that I have come to New Zealand, I will definitely leave after formulating a series of development plans for the government.

At least during the period when Arthur is not in New Zealand, let the New Zealand government have something to do, so that the people of New Zealand can also feel Arthur's existence.

It is a good plan to repair the previous railway roads and support the previously built hospitals and schools.

New Zealand has already built facilities before these events. Whether it is to repair and renovate them or invest funds in support, it will only cost a small amount of money to start using them again.

Not only can the people of New Zealand see the changes quickly, but also the economy of New Zealand can recover quickly without spending a lot of money. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

The first stop Arthur inspected was the railway built in New Zealand.Railway is very important to the development and construction of the country. It is not only one of the main means of transportation, but also an important way of population flow.

Thanks to the good development of New Zealand, New Zealand currently has a railway in the North Island and South Island, with a total mileage of about [-] kilometers.

The longest railway is distributed in the North Island, connecting Wellington in the southernmost part of the North Island, the gold mining area in the west and the bay in the north. It almost became the circular railway in the North Island of New Zealand.

This railway is very important to the economic exchange of the North Island of New Zealand. However, due to the previous economic downturn in New Zealand, a large part of this railway was in disrepair, and most of the entire railway was also out of service.

For Arthur and the colonial government, the most important thing is to resume the operation of this railway.

Most of New Zealand's population lives in the North Island, which is also the economic and political center of New Zealand.

If the normal operation of New Zealand's North Island Railway can be resumed, then the first step of New Zealand's economic recovery plan will be half successful.

Fortunately, the railway was only built more than 30 years ago. Most of the railways can continue to be put into use after simple repairs. The remaining railways only need to replace parts or re-lay rails directly.

According to the estimates of the colonial government, it only takes less than 20 pounds and [-] laborers to repair all the railways in the North Island.

On the premise that all New Zealanders expect New Zealand's economy to recover, it is not difficult to gather these thousand workers.

Arthur also did not hesitate, and directly ignored the distressed eyes of the colonial government officials, and took 20 pounds from the government's funds to repair all the railways in New Zealand's North Island.

This fund was actually donated to the New Zealand government by Arthur as the Duke of Australia, with a total of 200 million pounds.

So far, the total funds owned by the New Zealand government have not exceeded 300 million pounds, which is why the officials of the colonial government are so distressed after Arthur spent 20 pounds.
