Rise of Australia

Chapter 52 Diplomatic Layout
"Your Highness, I don't think New Zealand's problems can be solved in a short period of time, and the solution depends on your Highness's views on New Zealand." Prime Minister Evan stepped forward boldly and replied.

"Huh? Prime Minister Evan, tell me in detail!" Arthur said with a smile.

The New Zealand problem is also a headache for Arthur, so brainstorming is a good idea.At least the former prime ministers of the major colonies were familiar with the situation in New Zealand, and their opinions might be useful to Arthur.

"Your Highness, regarding New Zealand's policy, it actually depends on your thoughts." Seeing that Arthur did not refute, Prime Minister Evan was very interested, so he continued: "If you regard New Zealand as the same as New Guinea Colonies, if you think that New Zealand is not in our core area of ​​influence in the future, then I think we should suppress New Zealand's independent forces. At least during your rule, New Zealand should not be independent, or even have any independent actions. "

"But if you want to completely integrate New Zealand and merge with Australia to form a new country, then I think you should fully respect the public opinion of the New Zealand people, and even promote New Zealand's independence at the right time, so that New Zealand can be a The identity of an independent country to join the Australian family." Prime Minister Evan explained: "In my opinion, whether it is Australia or New Zealand, its independent public opinion is unstoppable. Even if it may be due to the policies of the rulers and means to suppress New Zealand's independence in a short period of time. But such a situation is absolutely impossible to last for too long, ranging from ten years to decades, and New Zealand will definitely erupt much stronger independence actions than it is now. Therefore, I think Before we establish a management policy for New Zealand, we should clarify New Zealand's status in Australia in the future. If we want to completely control New Zealand, then at this time, we should regard it as an independent country, not ours. colony."

After all, the status of New Zealand is actually the same as that of Australia, and they have already begun to seek from a colony to an independent country.

Even though New Zealand lags far behind Australia in terms of land area and population, public opinion cannot be ignored.

"Well, that's right, Prime Minister Evan." Arthur nodded, and said to Prime Minister Evan appreciatively.

"New Zealand is the third largest region in Oceania, and it is also a natural barrier to eastern Australia. I think New Zealand is an integral part of Australia's power in the future. We should value and respect the interests of New Zealand and New Zealanders. I think Australia and New Zealand will form a close relationship. It is very possible to unite countries in the United States, whether it is a country in the form of a federation or a confederation, or a united and unified country. In short, New Zealand is very important to us and Australia, and it is an important territory that we cannot lose. During the entire period of managing New Zealand, we should acquiesce and support New Zealand's independence. As long as New Zealand is willing to unite with Australia to form a new country, then whether New Zealand is independent or not is not important to Australia. Yes." Arthur said with a smile.

New Zealand's important geographical location determines that it is impossible for Australia to give up New Zealand.

In Arthur's view, as long as New Zealanders are willing to form a new country with Australia, it doesn't matter whether New Zealand is independent or not.

"Your Highness, should our policies in Australia also be implemented in New Zealand? We are afraid that we will build New Zealand, but New Zealand will turn around and declare independence, which would be terrible." Finance Minister Roger Joseph Ebert hurriedly asked.

Although Australia's finances have gone through various consumptions, there are still funds as high as nearly 9000 million pounds.

But don't forget that even these funds were borrowed from Arthur, and together with the batch of equipment worth 5000 million pounds, the Australian government already owes the royal family 5000 million pounds.

Although the funds are all interest-free loans, the feeling of owed money is definitely not pleasant. This also made Minister Roger Joseph Ebert, after he took charge of the Ministry of Finance, every penny spent had to be carefully calculated. It is not easy to save money as much as possible under the premise of satisfying the country's development.

"That's not necessary, Your Highness. If we spread all Australia's policies to New Zealand now, it may cause the people of New Zealand to ecstasy in a short period of time. But after that? Do we have any means to keep these New Zealanders? Once These people are dissatisfied and want a new welfare policy, so what should we do? Don’t forget, our base is in Australia, and mastering New Zealand must be based on the premise of mastering Australia.” Prime Minister Evan quickly stood up, Remind: "Your Highness, I think what New Zealand needs is stability, not change. We only need to maintain the policies of New Zealand during the British period. When New Zealand's independence frenzy cannot be stopped, our policies will also be ours. Conditions to win over New Zealanders."

"Well, what Prime Minister Evan said is very reasonable. Our basic market is always Australia, and we should give priority to respecting the opinions of Australians. New Zealand can remain stable for the time being. When New Zealand seeks independence, we will be in the The policies implemented by Australia are also conditions for attracting New Zealanders. As long as they are willing to continue to accept Australia's rule, then Australia does not mind considering New Zealand as part of itself, and implements all preferential conditions in New Zealand." Arthur nodded , I agree with Prime Minister Evan's opinion.

Hearing what Arthur said, Roger Joseph Ebert was relieved.

If Australia's various policies are implemented in New Zealand at the same time, then this will at least be an expenditure of millions or even tens of millions of pounds.

For Australia, which is in urgent need of funds for development, this fund is naturally saved.

"But at the same time, it is also necessary to appropriately win over and approach New Zealand. Minister Andrew, these tasks will be entrusted to you. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for approaching New Zealand, and will try its best to sign a series of treaties with New Zealand and draw in Australia. The distance with New Zealand in various aspects. In these aspects, we should give New Zealand due respect, and the treaty must give both parties equality and justice, so that all New Zealanders are satisfied." Arthur ordered.

On the premise that the general policy does not change, signing a series of trade and other treaties with New Zealand in advance to narrow the distance between Australia and New Zealand will also have certain benefits for the possible merger of Australia and New Zealand in the future.
