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 the beginning of next year at the earliest.

After all, it will take some time for the allocation of funds, the arrival of personnel, and the actual construction to start. Aircraft carriers cannot be built just by saying so.

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

Of course, the founding of the country here is counted from the establishment of the Kingdom of Australasia. To be precise, the establishment of the Principality of Australia has been more than 25 years.

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

The establishment of the Kingdom of Australasia is because of Arthur. The country can only exist if there is a king, 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 New Zealand and other regions will naturally no longer belong to Australia.

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

Especially under the premise that the 10th anniversary of the founding of the country was missed, the 20th anniversary of the founding of the country has become extremely important. It is not only a celebration for the royal family and the people, but also a way to strengthen the cohesion between the country and the nation.

In order to express the importance of this military parade, the navy, army and air force of Australasia will be dispatched, and foreign troops will be invited to participate in the military parade.

At present, the diplomatic department has invited many countries including the United Kingdom. The Philippines, El Salvador and the newly established United Sultanate of Kalimantan will also participate to enhance the momentum of this military parade.

There is no doubt that the British are still very face-giving. On the day of receiving the invitation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Australasia, the British agreed to the proposal to participate in the military parade together, and said that they would send a military force to participate in the military parade for review.

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

Arthur certainly welcomed this. Even if the British were not an ally of Australasia, they were the most powerful country in the world at present, and there was no need for Arthur to refute the British face.

The countries that will also participate in the Australasia military parade include Finland, Greece, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and other countries, which has also invisibly increased 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 Australasia army, this Australasia military parade also awarded the most elite troops, the Guards, and the third-generation military aircraft will also be unveiled. Aircraft carriers and battleships will be dispatched together to show the true strength of Australasia.

Speaking of aircraft, the development of aircraft in various countries around the world is still relatively rapid.

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

Arthur took out the third-generation military aircraft at this time, naturally, to demonstrate the military strength of Australasia, indicating that Australasia will not lag behind in terms of aircraft.

While countries 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, which also means that the huge square of the palace can be used, and the scale of the National Day ceremony can be increased from 100,000 people to more than 600,000 people.

During the six years of construction, the transportation construction of Fort St. Arthur has been completed, and it is still convenient for Australasia to go to Fort St. Arthur.

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

This National Day ceremony is also to make Fort St. Arthur famous, avoiding the embarrassing reality that people only know Sydney but not Fort St. Arthur after the relocation of the capital.

This is inevitable. Sydney has long been a huge city with a population of more than 3 million, while Fort St. Arthur currently has a population of only more than 200,000. In terms of urban scale, it is just a small city and cannot be compared with Sydney at all.

If the development of the Murray River Basin Plain is not too important to Australasia, the capital of Australasia is more likely to be on the coast rather than inland.

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

After the capital is moved 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 the control of the mainland over these overseas territories.

Fortunately, Australasia is not too far away from these overseas territories. Otherwise, Arthur would never dare to move the capital from the coast to the inland.

In the last month of 1925, all the troops participating in the military parade in Australasia went through a relatively strict training phase to ensure that they would not make mistakes during the military parade.

In order to maintain order during the National Day celebration, the government specially mobilized thousands of police officers from other states to maintain order in Fort St. Arthur.

Although this is a city with a population of only 200,000, the population of this city is destined to exceed one million when the National Day celebration begins.

Although it is only a population that stays for a short time, these people are also a hidden danger to the security of Fort St. Arthur.

Even if there is no conflict, the trampling and congestion caused by the crowd being too dense are likely to make this National Day celebration not so good.

In order to prevent this situation, when the National Day celebration 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 simple, Arthur is equipped with hundreds of ambulances to ensure that the wounded 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 the parade teams of some friendly countries also arrived in Sydney soon, ready to transfer from Sydney to Fort St. Arthur.

Although Arthur was very busy, he still approached representatives of some countries, such as Britain, Finland, the Philippines, El Salvador, etc.

Because George V planned to make a diplomatic visit to Australasia, this also led to the fact that George V was the person in charge of the team, which can be said to have given Australasia enough face.

Of course, Arthur would not refute George V. He not only went to the port to greet him in person, but also prepared a grand welcome banquet for George V and his party, and cordially invited them to live in the palace.

Grand Duke Dmitri of Finland also had this face. After all, he was Queen Mary's younger brother and was also Arthur's own person.

As for the remaining presidents of El Salvador and the Philippines, Arthur naturally could not go to greet them in person, but only let the diplomatic department greet them and then take them to meet Arthur.

The positioning of these two countries is relatively accurate. The presidents of El Salvador and the Philippines are very sensible. Manuel even flattered Arthur very much, just to gain more power and status in the Philippines.

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

As long as Manuel needed Arthur's help, he could be easily controlled by Arthur. As long as he could control the president of the Philippines, it was equivalent to Arthur controlling the Philippines in disguise.

The same was true for El Salvador. Although Arthur did not implement a balancing policy in El Salvador, the country's population and land area were destined to be impossible to threaten Australasia, let alone resist Australasia's rule alone.

The problem was that El Salvador's neighbors were basically controlled by the British. Under the premise of a close alliance between Britain and Australasia, El Salvador could not resist Australasia's rule at all.

Fortunately, Australasia's rule did not have too many excessive requirements, and even the number of garrisons was small, and it was more of a diplomatic and economic influence.

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

Doing so will not only make it difficult for the enemy to resist, but also, under the subtle influence, the negative impact on international reputation will not be too great.

As an ally of Australasia and the most powerful country in the world, Britain also gave enough face to King George V Arthur when receiving him.

After going to Fort St. Arthur, he took George V to visit Fort St. Arthur and the construction of the new palace, and also introduced Australasia's grand plan for the development of the Murray River Basin. He smiled and said that Australasia's territorial expansion would basically not happen again, because the development of the Murray River Basin alone had 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 UK is still very important to Australasia. On the premise that 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 other regions as much as possible and ignore the current strength of Australasia.
