Rise of Australia

Chapter 16
"Your Highness!"

"Long live Your Highness!"

Amidst cheers, Arthur calmly stepped out of the carriage, and was escorted by several guards to the State House.

Entering the State House, Arthur saw that Governor Evan was directing his subordinates to count the election results.

As Australia's most populous state, NSW's election is also the most intense.

Although it has the most seats in the House of Commons among the six Australian states, the election is extremely difficult, and one in a million is not enough to describe its difficulty.

As the governors and interim cabinet members of Australia's current six states, several governors were approved by Arthur and obtained the qualifications to directly enter the House of Commons.

Of course, it was only this time.If the six governors cannot win the next governor election and lose the next House of Commons election, then they will have to bid farewell to Australian politics for the time being.

"Your Highness!" The sharp-eyed Governor Evan saw Arthur's arrival, and quickly stopped what he was doing to say hello.

"Your Highness!"

The entire State House followed suit.

"Well, Governor Evan, how is the election going? Is it going well?" Arthur nodded, looking at the half-person-high profile next to Governor Evan, and asked.

"Of course, Your Highness. As of now, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. We haven't found any cheating yet. This is good news worth celebrating." Governor Evan said with a smile.

Since Arthur's last meeting confirmed his status as king, Governor Evan has accepted his fate.

Instead of ignorantly fighting for power with Arthur, it is better to use one's own ability to gain Arthur's status, at least to become a high-level person in Australia.

"Really, that's good. How many new candidates have been added today?" Arthur asked as he walked out of the state house and came to the place where candidates signed up.

"The number of candidates who signed up today has dropped significantly compared to the previous six days. Perhaps it is because they know that they have lost their advantage in running for the election on the last day, so there are only these candidates for today." Governor Evan said, Pointing to the people who are queuing.

Arthur looked around. Although there were many people around, there were not many people who were actually signing up for the election. It seemed that there were less than fifty people.

Compared with the grand election a few days ago, this has been greatly reduced. After all, it is the last day of the election. Even if you run for the election today, you will not get many votes.

Arthur stepped forward with a smile, fixed his eyes on a man who seemed to be very fanatical, and asked, "Sir, what's your name?"

"Conconlett, Your Highness." Seeing that Arthur was getting closer and closer to him, the fanatical man was so excited that he even spoke to him, and his speech became stuttering.

"Is that Conlette? Don't be nervous, this is just a normal conversation. Are you here to run for the election?" Arthur asked with a smile, not caring about the nervousness and defeat of the man in front of him.

"Yes, Your Highness. If we weren't too far away from Sydney, I wouldn't have rushed here today." The man named Kang Laite slowed down for a while, and then he spoke quickly, but he still didn't dare to look at Arthur could only look down at his toes.

"Come on, sir." Arthur also saw Conlaite's embarrassment, smiled and patted Conlaite's shoulder, and turned his gaze to the others.

"Are you also here to run for the election?" Arthur looked towards the crowd, and found two unusual-looking middle-aged men in the crowd.

Facing Arthur's gaze, other people showed nervousness and apprehension in addition to excitement and excitement.

This is a normal behavior that a commoner should have. After all, what they are facing is the supreme ruler of this country, Arthur.

Although the two of them were a little nervous, compared to the people around them, they were much calmer.

After confirming that Arthur was talking to them, the two immediately replied impatiently, "Yes, Your Highness."

"Can you give me a brief self-introduction?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"Of course, Your Highness." Just as Henry was about to continue, Martin on the side seized the opportunity.

"My name is Martin, and I'm an official of the Sydney City Government." Martin said respectfully.

Seeing that he was preempted by his friend, Henry was not angry, and waited for Martin to finish speaking before continuing: "Your Highness, my name is Henry, and I am also an official of the Sydney City Government."

"Well, can you tell me about your purpose of running for the election? Or what will you do after you become members of parliament?" Arthur was slightly interested in Henry's unhurried calmness and the calmness of the two, so I asked a few more questions.

"Of course it's about developing the country and trying to improve the living standards of all Australians," Martin replied.

Although most Australians evolved from Western immigrants, the living standards of Australians are actually far behind those of more developed countries such as Britain, Germany, France, and the United States.

Therefore, after being asked by Arthur, Martin's first thought was to improve the economic income and living standards of all Australians.

"Well, good. How about you?" Arthur looked at Henry and continued to ask.

Among the two, Arthur is most interested in Henry, and is also looking forward to Henry's answer to this question.

"Your Highness, in the decades since I have been a city government official, I have seen too many cases of death due to neglect of medical care, and too many families that have gone bankrupt in order to save their families. I know that I want to completely Solving this problem is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, but I am also willing to fight for it." Henrys looked at Arthur's face and found that Arthur was very interested in what he said, so he continued: "Of course, I know that all of this depends on the premise of national development. All Australians should not be obsessed with immediate interests, and give priority to the development of our country to become a prosperous and developed country, and the government is capable enough The people trust the country and the country protects the people, so why should Australia not be a strong country, and why should Australians not be able to improve their lives?"

clap clap!clap clap!
Arthur applauded first, smiled and said to Henry: "Well said, Henry. As long as the people have full trust in the country and work together to develop our motherland. When our country is prosperous and developed, there will be enough After the economic strength, we will feed back to our people. The people and the country complement each other, the country's revival and the people's prosperity are our ultimate goals!"
