Rise of Australia

Chapter 632 Representatives from various countries arrive
Although the shipbuilding plan has been determined, the construction of the aircraft carrier will have to wait until early next year at the earliest.

After all, it will take some time to allocate funds, get personnel in place, and actually start construction. An aircraft carrier cannot be built just by making it.

Compared with the construction of aircraft carriers, there is currently a more important task waiting for Arthur's supervision, which is preparations for the military parade celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of Australasia.

Of course, the founding of the country here dates from the establishment of the Kingdom of Australasia. The establishment of the Principality of Australia has been more than 25 years ago to be precise.

From this point, we can also see a relatively obvious difference. The Australasian country and the royal family are relatively close.

The Kingdom of Australasia was established because of Arthur. The king can only exist in this country, which also guarantees the status of the royal family in disguise.

In other words, only the existence of the royal family can guarantee the unified status of Australasia.Once the royal family is gone, the colonies and areas such as New Zealand will naturally no longer be affiliated with Australia.

The country has experienced too much in the past 20 years, and has grown from a not very powerful country to a great power with sufficient voice.

Especially if the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is missed, the celebration of the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China becomes extremely important. It not only allows the royal family to celebrate with the people, but also strengthens the cohesion between the country and the nation.

In order to express the importance of this military parade, Australasia's navy, land and air forces will be dispatched, and foreign troops will also be invited to participate in the military parade.

At present, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has invited many countries, including the United Kingdom, and the Philippines, El Salvador and the newly established United Sultanate of Kalimantan will also participate to increase the momentum of this military parade.

There is no doubt that the British are still very generous.On the day they received the invitation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Australasia, the British agreed to participate in the military parade together and stated that they would send an army to participate in the military parade.

At the same time, the then British King George V will also participate in the Australasian military parade to commemorate the special relationship between Australasia and the United Kingdom, and make an official diplomatic visit to Australasia.

Arthur certainly welcomed this.Even if the British are not Australasia's allies, they are currently the most powerful country in the world. Arthur will not refute the British's face if there is no need.

Countries that will also participate in the Australasian military parade include Finland, Greece, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and other countries. This also invisibly increases the scale of this military parade, which is definitely a rare event.

With the participation of so many countries, in order to demonstrate the strength of the Australasian military, this Australasian military parade also awarded the most elite military guards. Third-generation military aircraft will also appear, aircraft carriers, and battleships. Go out together to show the true strength of Australasia.

Speaking of aircraft, countries around the world are currently developing relatively rapidly in aircraft.

Although it started behind Australasia and the same period in history, it has developed for nearly ten years. The aircraft level of various countries has developed to above Australasia's second-generation military aircraft, and even some relatively powerful countries have already A powerful aircraft similar to the Australasian third generation military aircraft has been developed.

Arthur took out the third-generation military aircraft at this time, naturally to demonstrate Australasia's military strength and to express that Australasia would not lag behind others in terms of aircraft.

While countries from all over the world are rushing to Australasia, Australasia’s National Day Ceremony is also being anxiously prepared.

The good news is that the new palace, which has been under construction for nearly six years, has been completed. This also means that the huge square of the palace can be used, and the scale of the National Day ceremony can be increased from 10 to more than 60 people.

During these six years of construction, the transportation construction of St. Arthur's Castle has been completed, and it is relatively convenient for Australasians to travel to St. Arthur's Castle.

After this National Day ceremony, the relocation of the capital of Australasia will also be put on the agenda.The government and the royal palace have been built, and the power system has been laid out. St. Arthur's Castle can be used as the new capital at any time, waiting for the relocation of Arthur and the government.

This National Day ceremony is also to build a reputation for St. Arthur's Castle, to avoid the embarrassing reality that people only know Sydney but not St. Arthur's Castle after the capital is moved.

This is actually inevitable. Sydney has long been a huge city with a population of more than 300 million, while St. Arthur's Castle currently has a population of only more than 20. It is only a small city in terms of city size and cannot be compared with Sydney.

If the development of the Murray River Basin plain was not so important to Australasia, the capital of Australasia would more likely be on the seaside rather than inland.

After all, Australasia is not a simple continental country. It also has overseas lands including New Zealand, New Guinea and many other territories and colonies. It is also very important to consider the interests of these overseas lands.

After the capital is relocated from Sydney to Fort St. Arthur, the distance from these overseas lands to the capital will also increase, which will lead to the weakening of local control over these overseas territories.

Fortunately, Australasia is not too far away from these overseas territories.Otherwise, Arthur would never have dared to move the capital from the sea to the inland. In the last month of 1925, all Australasian troops participating in the military parade went through a relatively rigorous training stage to ensure that they would make no mistakes during the military parade.

In order to maintain order during the National Day Ceremony, the government specially mobilized thousands of police officers from other states to maintain order in St. Arthur's Castle.

Although this is a city with a population of only 20, by the time the National Day celebrations begin, the city's population is destined to exceed one million.

Although they only stay for a short period of time, these people are also a hidden danger to the security of St. Arthur's Castle.

Even if conflicts don't break out, stampedes and congestion caused by too dense crowds are likely to make this National Day ceremony not so beautiful.

In order to put an end to this situation, when the National Day ceremony begins, several more professional medical teams will be stationed near the New Palace, ready to rescue the wounded at any time.

Even though the current ambulance equipment is relatively crude, Arthur still equipped hundreds of ambulances to ensure that the injured can be transported to the hospital faster at any time.

While the government was preparing for the handover, foreign guests invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and military parades from some friendly countries soon arrived in Sydney, preparing to move from Sydney to Fort St. Arthur.

Although Arthur was very busy, he still got close to representatives from some countries, such as the United Kingdom, Finland, Philippines, El Salvador, etc.

Because George V planned to pay a diplomatic visit to Australasia, the person in charge of leading the team this time was George V, which could be said to give Australasia plenty of face.

Of course, Arthur would not refute George V. Not only did he go to the port to greet him in person, he also specially prepared a grand welcome banquet for George V and his entourage, and cordially invited them to live in the palace.

Grand Duke Dmitry of Finland also has this respect. After all, he is Queen Mary's biological brother and can be regarded as one of Arthur's own.

As for the remaining El Salvador, the President of the Philippines, Arthur naturally could not go to greet them in person. He only asked the diplomatic department to greet them and then take them to see Arthur.

These two countries have positioned themselves relatively accurately. The presidents of El Salvador and the Philippines are very sensible. Manuel even complimented Arthur very much, just to gain more power and status for himself in the Philippines.

This is also the benefit of pursuing a balanced policy.As long as Manuel cannot completely control the Philippines, he must rely on Arthur's support to maintain his power and status.

As long as Manuel wanted something from Arthur, he was easily controlled by Arthur.As long as he can control the president of the Philippines, it is equivalent to Arthur controlling the Philippines in disguise.

The same goes for El Salvador.Although Arthur did not carry out a balancing policy in El Salvador, the country's population and land area were destined to be impossible to pose a threat to Australasia, let alone resist the rule of Australasia alone.

The problem is that El Salvador's neighboring countries are basically controlled by the British. Under the premise of a close alliance between Britain and Australasia, it is simply impossible for El Salvador to resist Australasian rule.

Fortunately, the rule of Australasia does not have too many excessive demands. Even the number of troops stationed is very small. It is more of a diplomatic and economic impact.

This is what Arthur has always pursued. Compared to using force to control a country, Arthur prefers to use diplomacy or economic control.

Doing so will not only make it difficult for the enemy to resist, but also will have a subtle influence on the country's international reputation.

As an ally of Australasia and the most powerful country in the world, the United Kingdom also gave a lot of face to receive the British King George V Arthur.

After going to St. Arthur's Castle, he took George V to visit the construction of St. Arthur's Castle and the new palace, and also introduced Australasia's grand plan for the development of the Murray River Basin, smiling and saying that Australasia There will basically be no territorial expansion in West Asia, because the development of the Murray River Basin alone has exhausted Australasia.

The purpose of Arthur's words was naturally to reassure George V.The British attracted a lot of firepower for Australasia in Europe, so Arthur could plan the development of Australasia with peace of mind.

At the same time, only by reassuring the British can Australasia develop with peace of mind.

The current United Kingdom is still very important to Australasia. As long as there is no conflict of interest, Arthur not only wants to maintain the alliance with the British, but also wants the British to focus on Europe and the United States as much as possible. For other regions, ignore Australasia's current strength.
