Rise of Australia

Chapter 347 Sydney Royal Zoo

Continued to wander in this forest for half a day. Under the witness of the two little guys, Arthur, the butler Kent, and the accompanying guards hunted dozens of wild deer, bison and other prey, and they were satisfied. Return to the villa.

There are still many wild animals in Australasia, especially some captive animals, such as cattle and sheep, will gradually become wild animals after escaping from the pasture.

For the hunting team, the main food during this period is these wild animals that have been hunted.

Although there were hundreds of people including Arthur's trip and all the guards, the food consumed every day was as high as hundreds of catties.

In addition to a small amount of staple food, such as potatoes and flour, Arthur's main meal is generally roast venison, beef and mutton, and some wild fruits in the forest.

Fortunately, the accompanying chef's skills are not bad, even if the ingredients are relatively simple, the food is still delicious.

Of course, the accompanying servants and guards were not treated so well.Most of their food is simple roast meat, with occasional wild fruit as a staple.

As for the drinking water for everyone, there is a very clear stream near this forest villa.

Although the water flow is not too large, the water source is very clean and has not experienced any industrial pollution.

Soldiers usually take water directly and drink it, but Arthur needs to boil it to drink.

It is precisely because of this stream that Arthur and the two little guys can wash without any problem.

Otherwise, according to the hunting situation in the past, it is often only a few days to take a bath during the hunting period, and you have to encounter a water source with a good flow of water.

That night, after a simple wash, Arthur sat down with Anna and William, enjoying the dinner carefully prepared by the chef.

The two little guys were also very excited about the hunting experience during the day, and they talked tirelessly about the white deer and other animals hunted today.

"Father, when will I be able to hunt by myself like you?" At this moment, William put down the knife and fork in his hand and asked curiously.

Today's hunting process was wonderful, but for the two little guys, they were just being carried on horseback and experienced all this passively.

Seeing it with my own eyes and experiencing it personally are two completely different feelings, which also made William ask such curious questions.

"Wait until you practice your marksmanship, William. Your shooting lesson hasn't started yet, and you can't even hold the gun steadily, so how can you hunt?" Arthur said with a smile.

"It's a deal, father." William was not discouraged when he heard the words, but said with great anticipation.

For traditional nobles, having good marksmanship is an essential requirement.Especially for an aristocrat like William who wants to become the ruler of the country, he must not only be familiar with the most mainstream weapons in the world, understand the structural principles of weapons, their advantages and disadvantages, and even have a better understanding of the military. The institution where it is necessary to study.

If nothing else, regardless of William's academic performance before university, his final university choice must be the Royal Military Academy in Sydney.

The three major departments of the Military Academy don't matter, but after graduating from the Royal Military Academy, William should have at least three years of service. Only after he has truly experienced training in the army can he have a better understanding of the military and the lower-level troops. .

The king of Australasia has great power, and the same is true in military affairs.

Arthur did not want William to have an interest in the military, but no corresponding military capabilities.

After the war broke out, the blind command of the war led to the defeat of the war.

To have power, one must have ability.If there is no military capability, Arthur will also consider reducing William's future military power and re-handling the command during the war to the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, troops like the Guard Division will always be the last trump card to defend the royal family, and they will always be under the control of the royal family.

But if William's military talents are mediocre, the Guards may be the only unit he can personally command.

In the relaxed and happy conversation between the father and son, the slightly busy day passed quickly.

In order to ensure that the injured white deer would not have any problems, after staying in the forest for two more days, on April 1913, 4, Arthur decided to end the hunting trip and return to Sydney.

The purpose of hunting this time is to relax and enjoy, so far it seems that the completion is quite successful.

At least Arthur himself has relaxed a lot now, and the two little guys are not under as serious academic pressure as before.

It took almost a day to return to Sydney from the hunting place.It wasn't until the convoy stopped at the gate of Sydney Palace that Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are not many wild carnivores in Australasia, they do not pose any threat to Arthur's hunting team.

But this can't stand the fact that Australasia has a large number of wild poisonous snakes and insects, especially in the deep mountains and old forests where hunting is located, and poisonous snakes and insects can be encountered from time to time.

Although Arthur has the protection of the entire hunting team, considering the current medical situation, if he is bitten by these snakes and insects, there is really no good way to save his life.

Therefore, in addition to enjoying the hunting process, Arthur is also very concerned about the snakes and insects that may be hidden in the dark.

Fortunately, every time the hunt goes smoothly, even if there are occasional snakes and insects, they will rush away because of the attack of the large army.

There are few wild animals that are not afraid of people. Facing the huge strange "animals" that have not been seen, these snakes and other animals will also feel afraid.

As early as hunting, the news that Arthur had successfully captured a white grazing deer had already been released by the newspapers, and it had already attracted the attention of many media and folks.

Even many European media sent inquiries to Arthur, wanting to get first-hand information about this matter.

Although Europe's religious overtones are long gone, hunting a pure wild white herding deer is definitely something worthy of commemoration and publicity.

Although the development of science has led to many things that can be explained by science, the importance and legend of gods have been downplayed.

But when something surprising happens, people still habitually use miracles to explain it.

The influence of thousands of years of religion cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.Even if it is more than 100 years later, don't there be a large number of religious believers?
Not to mention that technology is just beginning to develop now, and most technologies have not yet appeared and born.

In Australasia, Arthur has been acclaimed as the son of God, and it is generally believed that Arthur was recognized by God and was sent by God to help build Australasia into a prosperous place. people.

Combined with Arthur's achievements over the past ten years, Arthur's reputation and support will rise tomorrow.

If people's attitude towards Arthur was highly recognized and supported in every way before, then it is extremely fanatical and sought after now.

It's a pity that it's not the Middle Ages now, otherwise such deeds have been publicized, and the fresh wild white deer will directly make Arthur more divine.

When the convoy arrived at the Sydney Palace, there were already a large crowd of people gathered outside the Sydney Palace. First, they wanted to witness the appearance of wild white herding deer. It is said that there is already a great monarch, although there is only one monarch in the history of Australasia.

It's a pity that the white herd deer was well protected, and people only caught a glimpse of it, and then disappeared from people's sight.

However, to everyone's delight, the guards of the palace soon sent news that Arthur decided to exhibit the white reindeer at the Royal Sydney Zoo in three days.

And during the white reindeer exhibition, the Royal Sydney Zoo no longer has viewing time restrictions, and you can go to the zoo to buy tickets to watch seven days a week.

Even the tickets for the Royal Sydney Zoo are also discounted for Australasians.As long as you have identification and proof of legal citizenship of Australasia, you can enjoy a [-]% discount on the purchase of Royal Zoological Park tickets.

In fact, the tickets for the Royal Zoo are not very profitable. Even with the popularity of the white herding deer, the daily tickets can be multiplied several times at most. It is hard to say whether it can reach [-] Australian dollars.

Since you can't make any money, it's better to give the Australasians some practical discounts, and by the way, check the favorability of the Australasians again.

You know, after the news of Arthur's hunting of white grazing deer spreads to Europe, it is bound to attract a group of European tourists and media.

And Australasians can get discounted tickets to the zoo, which will also give Australasians a sense of national pride.

Even in the face of people in Europe, the nation of Australasia has an advantage, which is a manifestation of national pride.

And single-handedly contributed to this situation, allowing Australasians to be better than Europeans in some respects, and Arthur is bound to be sought after by Australasians.

National pride is very important to the development of a country, and even determines whether a country can develop well.

Let me ask, how can the nation of a country have no self-confidence when facing other nations, how can it promote its own country to surpass other countries?
Let me ask again, a country not only does not encourage its own nation to cultivate pride, but tramples on its own nation, and pursues and wins over the nation of other countries. How can this country become stronger?
The development of a country is closely related to national pride.Only when the country is developed and strong, has sufficient confidence, can protect its own nation, and can make people feel proud.

Just a word, my country can firmly protect me, but your country can't, that's why I'm proud.

But if a country deliberately praises other nations, it ignores the feelings of its own nation.How can we have the confidence to develop our own country when our own nation has been wronged and has nowhere to complain?

The current state of Australasia is that the country sincerely protects the people and pays close attention to the interests of the people.

And the people also sincerely and enthusiastically support the government, and do their best to make the beautiful country they live in stronger.

Because all Australasians know that the motherland that they have tried their best to develop will also do their best to protect themselves and their own interests.

As long as both the people and the country prosper and the country is invincible, the people are invincible and the country is invincible.

After receiving three days of treatment in the private hospital of the Sydney Palace, the herd deer, named Xiaobai by Anna, was released to the Royal Zoo in Sydney.

As early as during the treatment period, Arthur's mother, Princess Louise, Queen Mary, and the two little ones visited Xiaobai from time to time. Animals are very affectionate.

Although several people were a little bit reluctant to send Xiaobai to the Royal Zoo, they also knew that instead of watching it alone in the royal family of Sydney Palace, it would be better for people from all over the country and the world to watch it, which would not only increase Arthur's legend, It can also demonstrate the generosity of the Australasian royal family to the outside world.

After all, what the royal family of Australasia wants is long-term rule, and the prestige of the royal family is far more important than the interests of the royal family.

During these three days, the Victorian News and the Australasian Daily were the only media and newspapers in Australasia who had access to Xiaobai.

The two newspapers also took advantage of the poor news to report the legendary process of Arthur hunting Xiaobai, and even rarely attached a photo of Xiaobai to the newspaper.

This is like hunger marketing, sending Xiaobai directly to the Royal Zoo. Maybe people don't expect so much from Xiaobai.

After a three-day healing period, on the day Xiaobai entered the Royal Zoo, the tickets for the zoo were sold out quickly, and even the people around the entrance of the zoo were clamoring for the zoo to pre-sell the tickets for the next day in advance.

You know, zoo tickets are basically not refundable.This also means that after people buy tickets, if there is something unexpected the next day, they may lose a lot of money.

Although zoo tickets are worth only A$0.35 after discounts, only people in Australasia earn a little more for two days.

But that doesn't mean tickets aren't cheap.Even if it is converted to future generations, if the per capita income is 350 per month and [-] per year, the ticket price for something like the Royal Zoo is about [-] yuan.

For ordinary people, they can afford to buy a zoo ticket of 350 yuan, but they are willing to buy it in advance through pre-sale, maybe it is really not much.

From this point, we can also see how much the Australasian people welcome Xiaobai.If it weren't for such a rare white herding deer, only one has been found in Australasia so far, Arthur even has plans to list it as a national treasure of Australasia.

In fact, the plan that Arthur decided to collect endangered animals and plants in advance has also begun to be implemented after the Kent steward returned to the palace.

At present, discussions have been held with some countries in East Asia and some countries in Europe.If things go well, they can be purchased and shipped back to Australasia within one to two months.

The first batch of rare wild animals and plants purchased include Caribbean monk seals, Mexican grizzly bears, black bear warblers, Kenai mountain wolves, Wake Island rails, etc.

These are wild animals that became extinct in the 20th century, and their cherishment is self-evident.

Of course, it is only the beginning of the 20th century. Although many of these animals have declined sharply, they can still be found if you look carefully.

Arthur's goal is to establish a museum of endangered animals in Australasia.When these animals become extinct in other places, the only remaining animal in Australasia is the scorpion baba, the only one.
