Chapter 267: Mutation of the German Olympic Committee

It has been more than a month since the tour. Even though Arthur had made preparations before, he was already a little eager to go home.

After all, Arthur was a father for the first time in this life. He had been away from Sydney for more than a month, and he actually missed the little guy.

Since returning to the mainland of Australasia, Arthur's tour has become much simpler.

After all, Arthur's control over the mainland of Australia is still very strong. In addition, with the help of the Royal Security Intelligence Agency, the news of each state is basically controlled by Arthur, so the tour is just a process.

At least let these officials know that Arthur will come to check their work from time to time, so that they can maintain a cautious and positive work attitude, so as to better help Australasia develop.

Arthur's tour mainly inspected three directions this time. The first is the living conditions of the residents in the city, which is to say, the local people's hearts and support for the government.

The second and third are the industrial and agricultural conditions near the city. Needless to say, the importance of industry, no matter what type of industry, plays a very important role in the development of the country.

And agriculture is even more needless to say. As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. If we cannot produce enough food, then other education, medical care, industry, etc. are all bullshit.

Under the premise of not having enough food, Arthur cannot guarantee what his people will do.

Therefore, Australasia's governance strategy is very simple, that is, first let all citizens have enough food and not go hungry, and then consider the issue of national development.

The current government and Arthur have done a good job in this regard. Although the population of Australasia is constantly growing, it can ensure that every citizen will not go hungry.

After staying at the Leonora Industrial Base for a few days, Arthur finally embarked on the return journey by industrial railway.

The Leonora Industrial Base is the most important construction plan for the industrial development of Australasia in recent years, which is why Arthur stayed at the Leonora Industrial Base alone for a few days.

Not only should he inspect the current construction of the Leonora Industrial Base, but he should also ensure that there is no corruption and embezzlement in the construction of the industrial base, which Arthur absolutely cannot allow.

If the construction goes smoothly, the Leonora Industrial Base will become the largest and most concentrated industrial base in Australasia in the future, and Western Australia will become the industrial center of Australasia.

Such construction cannot be dragged down by anyone. This is not only related to the future of national development, but also to the fate of Australasia in the two future wars.

After leaving the Leonora Industrial Base, the rest of the tour became much simpler.

Arthur spent only more than a week on the entire industrial railway journey, and finally returned to Sydney around mid-December.

Because it is close to late December, Australasia is about to usher in another Christmas.

I remember that the good news of Queen Mary's pregnancy happened to come at Christmas last year, and Arthur had no time to deal with government affairs for almost a whole year from then to now.

After returning to Sydney Palace, William and Anna were already two months old. Although they could not clearly call Arthur, they were babbling, and the two little guys' close movements and curved lips made Arthur know that they were calling him.

Arthur had tried to teach the two little guys to call dad, but finally gave up helplessly.

After all, they are only more than two months old now, and it is really difficult for them to learn to call people.

Just when Arthur was enjoying the joy of having two children, Foreign Minister Andrew and Minister of Propaganda Grant came to visit together, interrupting Arthur's beautiful life.

"Your Majesty, the chairman of the German Olympic Committee suddenly passed away. The Germans may have to give up the right to host the next Olympic Games." As soon as he saw Arthur, Foreign Minister Andrew said hurriedly.

The Olympic Summer Games have been held since the first one, and four have been held so far in 1909.

The number of participating countries and participating athletes in each Olympic Games has been rising steadily, especially in the London Olympics last year, the number of participating countries and participating athletes set a record.

The Olympic Games at that time even caused a sensation in half of Europe and America, and barely became an event that attracted worldwide attention.

The host country of any Olympic Games will receive worldwide attention during the Olympic Games, and even if it is well managed, it can really attract worldwide attention.

This is very helpful for a country to enhance its international influence and frequently appear in the international arena, and this is exactly what Australasia needs now.

If the Olympic Games can be used to expand Australasia's international influence and attract more immigrants from Europe, then hosting an Olympic Games will not be a loss at all.

"Is the news accurate? What is the reaction of the International Olympic Committee?" Arthur immediately became interested and asked.

"The news should be fine, Your Majesty. The Germans did not hide this news, and even have the intention to give up the right to host this Olympic Games." Foreign Minister Andrew quickly replied.

"This is good news. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately contacted the relevant German departments to ask whether they would give up the right to host this Olympic Games. If they choose to give up, ask them if they can directly transfer the right to host this Olympic Games to us." Arthur pondered for a while and immediately made up his mind.

Historically, such an incident has occurred this year, but it was in May.

After the president of the German Olympic Committee suddenly passed away due to illness, Germany immediately announced that it would give up the right to host the fifth Olympic Games.

Because it was only to be held in less than three years, the fifth Olympic Games became a mess at the time, and was eventually won by Sweden, which had wanted to host the Olympics for a long time.

Arthur originally thought that this event in history would never happen. Unexpectedly, even though the president of the German Olympic Committee escaped in May, he died suddenly before the New Year.

But there is two pieces of good news for Australasia. First, the longer the time is pushed back, the worse the mess will be. Sweden will have to think carefully if it wants to take over.

The second is that with the good relationship between Australasia and the Germans, if the Germans really want to give up the right to host the Olympics, there is a high chance that the Germans will transfer the right to host the Olympics to Australasia.

This kind of thing may seem like a fantasy to later generations, but in this era of great powers competing for hegemony, sports are really controlled by politics.

As the world's second largest power, if the German Empire publicly announced that it would transfer the right to host the event, would other countries compete for the right to host the event?

It’s hard to say, but there probably aren’t that many people who are brainless.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will immediately contact the German sports department and the German government. If it is confirmed that Germany will give up the hosting rights, I will request Germany to transfer the hosting rights to us in the name of the government." Minister Andrew nodded immediately and said.

"Well, this matter needs to be done quickly. We are not the only country that wants to host the Olympics, so don't let others pick the peaches first." Arthur nodded and motioned to Minister Andrew to contact him immediately.

After Minister Andrew received the order and left, Arthur looked at Propaganda Minister Grant and ordered: "Minister Grant, if we really win the right to host the next Olympics, your Propaganda Department will have a very heavy task."

Grant Wilson nodded solemnly and said generally: "I understand, Your Majesty. Please rest assured that whether it is for foreign or domestic propaganda, the Propaganda Department will do its best and use its greatest efforts to promote our The Olympic Games have spread significantly at home and abroad.”

Although the development of the Olympic Games has attracted the attention of many countries, no one can guarantee whether the Olympic Games held in Australasia will be unexpected.

The best way to prevent accidents is to promote the Australasian Olympics to the point where it attracts world attention.

Some countries may not participate in an ordinary sports meeting, but what if it is an Olympic Games that attracts worldwide attention and many major powers will participate?

This gives the Olympic Games a lot of political overtones. For the sake of their international influence and prestige, big countries must participate and compete with other countries that have hatred.

Big countries have participated. Do small countries that are sheltered by big countries dare not to give face to participate? After all, the eldest brother has already come to an end, and if the younger brother doesn’t end, isn’t this not giving the eldest brother face?

In this way, Arthur does not believe that the Olympic Games he holds will be worse than the previous Olympic Games. Even if it is not as good as the London Olympics hosted by the British Empire, the most powerful country in the world, it is still better than the previous three Olympics!

Of course, Arthur is not without options. After thinking for a while, Arthur looked at Grant and said with a smile: "Minister Grant, in addition to your own work in the Propaganda Department, I have a task to give you."

After hearing Arthur's words, Minister Grant immediately sat upright and listened quietly and carefully.

"It's not a big deal, Minister Grant. If we succeed in getting the right to host the Olympics, we will definitely send many athletes to participate in the Olympics. But you know, the current sports system in Australasia is not yet mature, and many sports industries People are more motivated by interest than true love. If possible, I hope you can seize the construction of the sports department and build a complete sports system for Australasia to cope with the future Olympic Games. You can do it. "?" Arthur smiled, relaxing the originally serious atmosphere.

Minister Grant quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "No problem, Your Majesty. There are still two years left. There is no problem in establishing a sports department and training a group of athletes. But we want these newly trained athletes to be able to compete in the Olympic Games." Getting results is probably not something that can be done easily.”
