Rise of Australia

Chapter 53 Travel to Europe
On October 1900, 10, after a few days of brief preparations and ordering domestic affairs, Arthur brought a series of officials including Foreign Minister Andrew, Minister of Industry Pierre, and Minister of Defense Kent to the government. The huge diplomatic delegation formed by the Chinese Communist Party officially embarked on a journey to Europe.

This diplomatic visit team has two purposes, one is to follow Arthur to attend Queen Victoria's funeral, and the other is to seek support and more technology from Britain and Germany.

Needless to say on the German side, William II also wanted to let Australia harass France's Asian and African colonies during the war, so naturally he would not be stingy with industrial and technological support at this time.

As for the UK, although Queen Victoria has passed away, the will made by Queen Victoria will also be held along with Queen Victoria's funeral, which will spread throughout the UK and even the whole world.

At this rather special moment, neither Crown Prince Edward nor British officials will violate Queen Victoria's will at the risk of offending the British people.

Therefore, it is still very easy for Australia to obtain greater support from the United Kingdom and Germany at present, and it is reasonable to sign some immigration and trade treaties at this time.

The 30st, which is next to the 31th, is the more famous festival in the West, the eve of Halloween.

However, there were no children on Arthur's warship. Therefore, on Halloween, which was supposed to be spent happily, Arthur temporarily ordered the officials to work overtime and held a corresponding meeting.

The diplomatic visit team this time was extremely formal. Not only were three cabinet ministers dispatched, but officials from almost every department joined, in order to seek support from Britain and Germany in all aspects.

The reason why it caused such a big stir in various departments of the cabinet is that with the double efforts of Queen Victoria and Arthur, the support of the British Empire and the German Empire to Australia was basically free and selfless.

Of course, the greatest contribution of all is Queen Victoria.

At present, the world's largest naval power and the largest army power give support to Australia, so what can Australia grow into?

On November 11, after nearly a month, the Australian fleet finally docked at the port of London, England.

It is said to be a fleet, but it is actually a few warships put together by the navies of several colonies.

Because the size of the navies directly under the colonies is not large, the size of Australia's navy is not large. There are only a few light cruisers and frigates, and some coastal defense gunboats.

These are the only light cruisers and frigates that can be on the stage. This is also the largest fleet dispatched by the mission to Australia this time.

After docking at the port, Princess Beatrice greeted her at the port on behalf of the royal family.

Since this period of time, countless warships from major European countries and even major countries in the world have gone to the UK to mourn and attend Queen Victoria's funeral.

Because he is a member of the British royal family, Arthur was arranged in the original room of Buckingham Palace.

Members of the royal family and senior officials of other countries basically do not have this treatment. Except for members of the royal family of some countries with great powers, others can only live in major hotels in London or some small manors.

Arthur's original room was located in a corner of Buckingham Palace, next to the original room of Duke Arthur.

This huge corner and the various buildings nearby are owned by the Arthur family, but it is a pity that things have changed for a long time.

Back to the room I was familiar with, the furnishings and decorations remained unchanged. Although no one lived in it for more than half a year, the room could be seen to be cleaned every day, and it was still spotless, very clean and tidy.

This room is the place Arthur is most familiar with in the UK. At that time, he traveled to the UK for three full months. Because he was unfamiliar with it, he spent most of his time in this room reading books.

After staying in his room quietly for a few minutes, a guard soon came to send a message that Prince Edward wanted to have dinner with him.

Without hesitation, Arthur followed the guards to the banquet hall.

Although he came to the UK, Arthur was not worried about his personal safety.With the spread of Queen Victoria's last will in Britain and the world, and even in the last moments of Queen Victoria's life, Arthur has been holding Queen Victoria's hand.

At present, in the hearts of all the British, Arthur already has a preliminary favor.Many British people who originally respected Queen Victoria also began to pay attention to Arthur after Queen Victoria's death.

If something happened to Arthur in the UK, before the funeral of Queen Victoria, I am afraid that the British government and royal family will suffer the greatest anger from the British people.

No British would allow Arthur, whom Queen Victoria cared and loved even before his death, to have any accidents during Queen Victoria's funeral in England.

It can be said that as long as Arthur does not take the initiative to fight against the United Kingdom, he does not say anything that hurts the British.Then all the actions of Queen Victoria during her lifetime are Arthur's last umbrella. As long as Queen Victoria's prestige in the hearts of the British is not completely eliminated, Arthur will get the favor and attention of all British people.

When he came to the banquet hall of Buckingham Palace, Arthur felt a sigh of relief.

It used to be the place where Queen Victoria entertained foreign guests, but now Crown Prince Edward used it to entertain himself.

The meaning of it is self-evident. Prince Edward wanted to remind himself that he is now the sure master of the UK, and Arthur, even if he receives sympathy from the British, he is only a guest of Crown Prince Edward and the UK.

Shaking his head and smiling, Arthur sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the arrival of Crown Prince Edward.

After a while, Crown Prince Edward welcomed us with a smile.

Arthur got up, smiled and said to Prince Edward, "Uncle Edward."

"Well, it's been a long time, Arthur. It's been a month since I left the Isle of Wight last time. I haven't been to the UK for a long time. How does it feel to be back in the UK?" He asked with a deep smile.

"It's okay, uncle. Although the British mainland is indeed much more prosperous than Australia, after getting used to Australia, I feel that the UK is no longer used to it." Arthur replied.

This is actually true, Arthur prefers to live unfettered in Australia than being under the fence of the British.

"Hahaha, you are not used to it because of the loss of your grandmother, Arthur. It doesn't matter, you still have me in England, Arthur. If you can tell me anything during this time, I can do it for you Solve it." Crown Prince Edward laughed and said immediately after getting the reply he wanted.
