Chapter 719 A Good Way to Solve the Age Problem

After determining the areas they had obtained, the relationship between Britain, France and Australia became harmonious.

Now the three countries have the same goal, which is to create a new country within their own strength and then let this new country bring them enough benefits.

In the choice of the political system of the new country, Britain and Australasia naturally chose the monarchy, while the French firmly chose the republic.

This is determined by the political systems of Britain, France and Australia. It is impossible for the three countries to choose a political system that is opposite to their own. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Because the French have supported the Lone Star Republic, this also means that the remaining territory of the French will be divided into two countries.

This is a condition for exchanging the split of the British area into two halves, and the French will naturally not refuse.

After all, the population of Texas is more than 5 million, and the areas obtained by France are at a disadvantage in terms of quantity compared to the areas obtained by Australasia, but the population and economy are much better.

The population size of Texas and California is not much different, but among the remaining states in the West, only Washington, Nebraska and Colorado have a population of more than one million, and the rest are all barren areas with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Looking at the areas obtained by the French, all of them are developed areas in the east with a population of millions or even more than 2 million.

Among them, the state with the smallest population should be Arkansas, but Arkansas also has a population of 1.82 million, which is far more than the economic value of the areas obtained by Australasia in horizontal comparison.

This is also the real reason why Australasia has obtained at least one-third of the United States, and Britain and France still will not object.

After the peace talks ended, Prime Minister Raul quickly reported the areas obtained by Australasia to Arthur.

The most important thing for the government next is to discuss how to deal with so many areas.

Although there are many areas obtained, except California, other areas in the mainland of the United States can only be described as barren.

Areas with an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers have a population of only hundreds of thousands to millions, which is much more serious than Australasia, which is sparsely populated.

Arthur's plan for these lands is that California will be the main body, and a kingdom will be established alone or with several nearby states.

The remaining northwestern states will be merged together to form a large but sparsely populated kingdom.

Some areas in the central region will be handed over to George Smith Patton Jr., allowing him to establish the United States in his mind.

After all, Patton was the first American to surrender to Australasia, and the preferential treatment he deserved was inevitable.

Of course, the country established by Patton cannot nominally inherit the original United States, and there cannot be any successor to the United States in all American regions.

This is also the way discussed by Britain, France and Australia to rule the American region. For an immigrant country like the United States, it is impossible to expect the American people to sing a song "The country is broken, but the mountains and rivers remain" after the demise of the United States.

For such an immigrant country, if the country is gone, it is really gone, and the people will quickly adapt to the new country unless the new country harms their own interests.

In other words, under the premise of matching interests, the name of the country is actually not important.

They can accept immigration from their original country to the United States, and naturally they can accept joining a new country after the demise of the United States.

Of course, the premise is that the United States is completely destroyed.

If there are still countries that continue to exist in the name of the United States, it is inevitable that there will be unstable elements who will destroy the order in the United States in the name of this country.

This is something that Britain, France and Australia cannot tolerate, and it must be absolutely prevented.

In this way, the division of these areas becomes a little simpler.

California itself is the most populous area among the areas obtained by Australasia, and the gap with other states is already very large.

In order to be fair to his two sons, the land area of ​​the country established by California will not be too large.

Among many plans, Arthur chose the plan to jointly establish the Kingdom of California with California and Nevada.

The new kingdom in the north is naturally based on Washington and Oregon, plus Idaho, which is the scope of another kingdom originally planned by Arthur.

But now, Australasia has obtained a lot more areas, and it is naturally impossible to leave all the remaining areas to Patton.

It is worth mentioning that the grain-producing states in the United States in later generations are basically in the central part, especially the central and northern regions headed by Montana and Wyoming.

After careful consideration, Arthur decided to assign Montana and Wyoming to another new kingdom, so that this kingdom with a relatively disadvantaged population could have certain advantages in agriculture.

This was Arthur's good intention. As they were both his sons, Arthur did not want to hear people talking about his partiality.

It was better to try to equalize the potential of the two kingdoms so that the two little guys would have no complaints in the future.

In this way, the population of the Kingdom of California remained above 5 million, and the population of the other kingdom was about 3.5 million.

Although there was still a big gap in population, the land area and agricultural potential could make up for it, and overall it was about the same.

In this way, the remaining areas of Patton were only North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and Utah.

If there is a map, it can be seen that the area controlled by Patton is like an inverted L, and the southeast corner of the new kingdom in the northwest is located at the corner of this L.

This is also Arthur's reserve to ensure that the area controlled by Patton does not leave the control of Australasia.

According to the agreement between Britain, France and Australia, the area controlled by Patton also belongs to the sphere of influence of Australasia.

Although Arthur did not intend to annex these areas, he could not let these areas fall into the arms of the enemy.

The best way is to control them indirectly and let these areas generate enough benefits for themselves.

After determining the specific scope of the new three countries, the corresponding country names and the composition of the government will be left to the cabinet government to think about.

These should theoretically be determined within a month, and then the three countries will be established in sequence as soon as possible within this year.

What is most troubling Arthur now is that among the three sons, except William who has come of age, the remaining Peter and George are not yet adults.

William is the heir to the throne and must not be moved. It is too early for the remaining two little guys to be independent.

This also made the two kingdoms that were about to be established very difficult. Arthur didn't want to give others a bargain, so he could only think of a way to perfectly solve the problem of the two little guys being too young.

After thinking about it again and again, he still couldn't find a solution. Arthur simply handed this problem directly to the cabinet government and brainstormed to find a solution.

Because it was Arthur's order, the cabinet members still took it seriously. After a cabinet meeting, the cabinet members came up with a preliminary solution.

The first method is for Arthur to serve as the king of the two countries concurrently, and then divide them up when the two little guys are old enough.

The second method is to divide the two little guys as usual, but just let the two little guys bear the name of the king.

They will continue to stay in Australasia to grow and learn until they grow up and return to their own land.

During the time they grow up, the administrative power of the two new kingdoms will be temporarily handed over to their respective governments.

In order to prevent the development of the two kingdoms from deviating from the track, their governments must be strictly controlled by Australasia.

In layman's terms, the principles are similar. For the time being, the Australasian government will manage the two countries for them, and they will take control of the power after they come of age.

But this is indeed the best way. Compared with the uncontrollable American government, with Arthur in charge, the Australasian government is undoubtedly trustworthy.

Anyway, it will only take a few years, and the little guys can receive a more adequate education in Australasian. With Arthur's help, there will definitely be no big problem in controlling power in the future.

As for what happens after they come to power, that is not something Arthur can worry about.

Under Arthur's careful education, if they still cannot control their own country, it can only be said that they really do not have the ability to become a monarch, and being a noble may be the best choice.

Of course, Arthur believes that this situation will basically not occur. Apart from anything else, the complexity of the education received by the little guys and the practical ability that Arthur has always emphasized determine that they will not have too many problems.

When they are about to come of age, Arthur will let them serve in the Guards. In the future, they will be given a small guard army as their own guards, so that they can protect their personal safety.

Arthur hesitated for a while between the two methods, and finally decided to choose the second method.

Let the two little guys ascend the throne smoothly first, and then let their government take charge of government affairs for a while.

Anyway, with the help of Australasia, there is no need to worry that the two little guys will lose their power in the future.

As for the remaining republics controlled by Patton, Arthur does not need to worry about it.

Patton controls a regiment of troops, and Arthur plans to hand over the captured Seventh Division to Patton.

In this way, Patton has more than 10,000 troops, which is definitely enough to manage his own territory.

Of course, for the safety of the two new kingdoms, and to deter Patton and some American forces, it is still necessary for the Australasian army to be stationed in the United States in a short period of time.

At least around Los Angeles and San Francisco, there should be proper defense forces.

This is also the reason why Arthur believes that the two little guys will not lose power. With the army, who would dare to challenge the dignity of Australasia?
