The Rise of Australia

In the noisy square, a few birds landed tentatively on the branches, and were about to look for insects between the leaves, but were scared away by the cheers of the crowd under the tree, leaving behind a feather that slowly fell, proving the arrival of the birds.

On the high platform, Arthur looked at the cheering crowd with satisfaction. Now it seems that Arthur's planned tax cuts have been very successful in gaining the hearts of the people. If the Australians' desire for unity makes them look forward to Arthur's rule, then after the tax cuts, they have begun to welcome and celebrate Arthur's arrival.

In this case, Arthur didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. He signaled the crowd to quiet down first, because there was more important news that had not been announced.

Sure enough, after seeing Arthur's gesture, the originally noisy square quickly quieted down at lightning speed, as if they were not the ones who were noisy before.

Arthur was very satisfied with the result and said with a smile: "At the same time, I have another very important thing to announce. Although we are a monarchy, I am also very happy to give my people the rights they deserve. I declare that the House of Lords and the House of Commons are officially established. The election time for the House of Commons is from May 10 to May 17, and it is held every two years. The results will be counted from May 18 to 24, and the elected members of the House of Commons will officially take office after the announcement on May 25. Now, every Australian can proudly announce that you can freely fight for your rights!"

"Long live His Highness! Long live Australia!"

As Arthur's bombshells came one after another, all the Australians present were more and more satisfied with Arthur. Everyone was glad that the Federal Committee was stopped by Britain at that time. Otherwise, if the original colonial rulers continued to rule Australia, it would be hard to say whether taxes could be reduced, let alone giving Australians rights.

"My people, all adult Australians can participate in the election of the House of Commons, and all adult Australians have one vote. During the election, I will send the Guards to inspect the election site to ensure that there will be no fraud in our House of Commons election. The House of Commons has the right to make and amend ordinary laws and elect cabinet members. It is one of the most important departments in Australia. Now, as the Duke of Australia, I declare that this right will be granted to all my people. Let all Australians participate and witness together, Australia will rise in this beautiful world. Long live Australia!" Arthur became more and more excited, and finally even shouted directly.

However, no one noticed Arthur's slightly out of control at this time. Everyone was immersed in joy and excitement, and shouted with Arthur.

Amid cheers and applause, Arthur ended his coronation speech perfectly.

If Arthur was mysterious and expected in the hearts of Australians before, then now in the hearts of Australians, Arthur's status has surpassed Queen Victoria, who has ruled them for decades, and he has become a very benevolent and excellent monarch.

If Arthur can continue to maintain his reputation and reputation among the Australian people, then no one can shake his position in Australia.

May 9, 1900, Sydney Harbor.

After staying in Australia for more than ten days, Queen Victoria finally had to continue her journey to White Island.

Looking at the boy in front of her who was taller than her, Queen Victoria was a little emotional for a moment, and said with a smile: "Arthur, your speech is very good. I believe that Australia can become the most dazzling pearl in Oceania under your leadership."

"Grandma, you must take care of your health. Arthur is still waiting to attend the 70th anniversary celebration of your accession to the throne!" Arthur did not respond to Queen Victoria's praise, but said to Queen Victoria with a reluctant look.

"Hahaha, good boy, grandma knows. Your mother and two sisters still need your care in Australia. I have asked people to invite the best teachers from Britain to teach you and them. I hope that when we meet again next time, my Arthur can grow up to be an excellent ruler, and grandma will be proud of you." Queen Victoria kissed Arthur's forehead, and then left with Princess Beatrice and the fleet without looking back.

If Queen Victoria hadn't slightly shaken her shoulders and betrayed her heart, perhaps this farewell would not be so sad.

After bidding farewell to Queen Victoria, Arthur needed to receive the precious wealth left to him by Queen Victoria.

A full 2,000 British Royal Guards and their families, a population of nearly 8,000 people, as well as two British chefs, two maids, six servants, and a private tailor.

In addition to these, there are 237 million pounds and industrial equipment worth 50 million, as well as Arthur's two military factories in the UK, a steel plant and a shipyard. Important equipment and technical workers were transferred here by Arthur.

To be honest, Arthur was very lucky to be born into the British royal family and the only son of Queen Victoria's favorite son, Duke Arthur.

Even if the fiefdom was moved to Australia, which had no industry or infrastructure, he could have more than 200 million pounds of start-up capital and 50 million pounds of industrial equipment, as well as multiple factories.

Let alone how huge the 200 million funds were, even if it was only 50 million pounds of industrial equipment and these factories, it would allow Australia's industry to expand rapidly and make up for the gap with Western countries.

More importantly, Australia has a large amount of mineral resources, including coal, iron, aluminum, oil, natural gas, gold, silver and other minerals, and the reserves of each mineral are very rich, which is enough to build Australia into a powerful industrial country.

Australia also has very rich natural uranium mines. You should know that uranium 235 extracted from uranium mines is one of the main materials for making atomic bombs. Even in later generations, there are only 5 million tons of natural uranium mines available for development in the world, and Australia has 610,000 tons, more than one-ninth.

With such rich mineral resources, coupled with huge start-up funds and a large number of industrial equipment, as well as support from the most powerful industrial country, the British Empire, in a short period of time, Arthur is fully confident that he can raise Australia's industrial level to the second-rate in Europe in a short period of time, and even launch an impact on the first-rate in Europe.

What's more, Australia also has a unique geographical environment at this time. There is no competitor in Oceania where it is located. The two potential opponents, an island country and the United States, will not pose a threat to Australia in a short period of time due to various reasons and restrictions.
