Rise of Australia

Chapter 13 Elections to the House of Commons
In the noisy square, a few birds landed tentatively on the branches, and were about to look for bugs in the leaves. They were frightened away by the cheers of the crowd under the trees, leaving a piece of feather slowly falling, proving the arrival of the birds.

On the high platform, Arthur looked at the cheering crowd very satisfied.It now appears that the tax cut planned by Arthur has been a great success in gaining the hearts of the people. If the Australians' desire for unity makes them look forward to Arthur's rule, then after the tax cut, they have begun to welcome and celebrate Arthur. The arrival of.

In this case, Arthur didn't mind adding another fire.He signaled the crowd to be quiet first, because there were more important news that had not been announced.

Sure enough, after seeing Arthur's gesture, the noisy square quickly quieted down, as if they were not the ones who made the noise before.

Arthur was very satisfied with the effect, and said with a smile: "At the same time, I have one very important thing to announce. Although we are a monarchy, I am also very happy to give my people their due rights. I declare that the House of Lords and the House of Commons are formally established. The election of the House of Commons will be held every two years from May 5th to May 10th. The period from 5th to 17th is the time for statistical results. Members of the House of Commons will be elected on May 18th. Officially took office after the announcement on the 24st. Now, every Australian can be very proud to announce that you are free to fight for your rights!"

"Long live Your Highness! Long live Australia!"

As Arthur's blockbusters hit one after another, all the Australians present became more and more satisfied with Arthur. Everyone was glad that the Federal Council was blocked by the United Kingdom at that time, and they would not let the original colonial The rulers continue to rule Australia, whether they can cut taxes, let alone empower Australians.

"People, all adult Australians can participate in the election of the House of Commons, and all adult Australians have one vote. During the election period, I will send guards to inspect the election site to ensure that there will be no elections in our House of Commons elections. Any fraud happens. The House of Commons has the power to make and amend common laws, elect cabinet members, and is one of the most important departments in Australia. Now, as the Duke of Australia, I declare this right to all my people. Let all Australia With the participation and witness of all people, Australia will rise in this beautiful world. Long live Australia!" As Arthur spoke, he became more and more excited, and finally even yelled directly.

However, no one noticed Arthur's slight gaffe at this time. Everyone was immersed in joy and excitement, shouting after Arthur.

Amid cheers and applause, Arthur ended his coronation speech perfectly.

If it is said that Arthur was very mysterious and expectant in the hearts of Australians before, then in the hearts of Australians now, Arthur's status has surpassed that of Queen Victoria who has ruled them for decades. He is already a very kind, Excellent monarch too.

If Arthur can continue to maintain his reputation and reputation among the Australian people, then no one can shake his position in Australia.

Sydney Harbour, October 1900, 5.

After staying in Australia for more than ten days, Queen Victoria finally had to continue her journey to the Isle of Wight.

Seeing the boy who was already taller than herself, Queen Victoria felt a little emotional for a while, and said with a smile: "Arthur, your speech was very good. I believe that under your leadership, Australia can become the brightest pearl in Oceania."

"Grandmother, you must pay attention to your health, Arthur is still waiting to attend your [-]th anniversary celebration!" Arthur did not answer Queen Victoria's compliment, but said to Queen Victoria with a face of reluctance.

"Hahaha, good boy, grandma knows. Your mother and two younger sisters still need your care in Australia. I have asked the best teachers from the UK to teach you and them. Hope to see you next time At that time, my Arthur can grow into an excellent ruler, and my grandmother will be proud of you." Queen Victoria kissed Arthur on the forehead, and then took Princess Beatrice and the fleet away without looking back.

If Queen Victoria had not betrayed her heart with a slight shake of her shoulders, perhaps this farewell would not be so sad.

After bidding farewell to Queen Victoria, Arthur needs to receive the precious wealth left to him by Queen Victoria.

There are two thousand British Royal Guards and their families with a population of nearly 8000 people, as well as two British chefs, two maids, six servants, and a private tailor.

In addition to these, there are 700 million pounds and 5000 million worth of industrial equipment, as well as Arthur's two military factories in the UK, a steel factory and a shipyard. Important equipment and skilled workers have been transferred by Arthur here we go.

To be honest, Arthur is very fortunate that he was born in the British royal family, and he is also the only son of Duke Arthur, Queen Victoria's favorite son.

Even if the fief is changed to Australia without any industry and infrastructure, it can still have more than 2 million pounds of start-up capital, 5000 million pounds worth of industrial equipment, and multiple factories.

Not to mention how huge the 5000 million capital is, even if it is only [-] million pounds of industrial equipment and these few factories, it will be able to allow Australia's industry to expand rapidly and make up for the gap with Western countries.

More importantly, Australia has a large number of mineral resources, including coal, iron, aluminum, oil, natural gas, gold, silver and other minerals, and the reserves of each mineral are very rich, which is completely enough to build Australia into a powerful country. Industrial country.

Australia also has very rich natural uranium ore. You must know that uranium 235 extracted from uranium ore is one of the main materials for making atomic bombs. Even in later generations, the natural uranium ore available for development in the world is only 500 million tons, while Australia has 61 tons, more than one-ninth.

With such rich mineral resources, coupled with huge start-up capital, a large amount of industrial equipment, and the support from the most powerful industrial country, the British Empire, Arthur is fully confident that Australia's industrial The level has been raised to the second-rate in Europe, and even launched an impact on the first-rate in Europe.

What's more, Australia still has a unique geographical environment at this time. There are no competitors in Oceania where it is located. Two potential opponents, an island country and the United States, will not pose a threat to Australia in a short time due to various reasons and restrictions.
