Chapter 728 Special Visit (23 More)
The successful holding of the World Aircraft Expo also gave Arthur the leisure to prepare for the establishment of two kingdoms in North America.
In addition to the already determined Kingdom of California, there is another kingdom named the West Coast United Kingdom, with its capital in Seattle, the largest city in Washington State.
The reason for choosing this place is that Seattle is close to the sea, and the sea area can be developed, and the city's development prospects are greater.
Secondly, Seattle is also the largest city in the northwest of the United States, and its population size and economy are also among the best in the United Kingdom.
Of course, because the population of Washington State is not large, Seattle's population is certainly not as large as Los Angeles, and the current population is only over 300,000.
This is one of the few larger cities in the northwest of the United States, and it still has a lot of footprints in history.
At present, Seattle's shipbuilding industry is relatively developed, and with the shipbuilding industry, the economy of the West Coast United Kingdom can also be better.
As for the capital of the Kingdom of California, of course, it was chosen in Los Angeles, which currently has the largest population.
Unlike the choice of the capital of California, it is more conducive to controlling the situation of the entire kingdom to set the capital in Los Angeles.
After all, the entire California Kingdom has a population of more than 5 million, and Los Angeles provides more than 1 million people, which plays a vital role in the development of the entire country.
The names and capitals of the two countries have been determined, but it has not been determined which country the two little guys will become kings of.
In order to ensure fairness, Arthur took the simplest method, which is to draw lots to decide the territory of Peter and George.
The final result is that Peter becomes the King of California and George becomes the King of the United Kingdom of the West Coast.
The two little guys have no objection to the result of the draw, and the final distribution result is determined in this way.
According to the age of the two people, Peter will be the fastest to grasp power. And George, who is still young, will have to wait for a few more years, which is just right for him to learn some balancing tactics and do his duty as a king in these years.
After arranging the territories of the two little guys, Arthur focused on the marriage of William and Anna.
William and Anna were born in 1909 and are now 19 years old.
Although they are not in a hurry to get married, if there are suitable engagement partners, it is not impossible to get William and Anna engaged first.
Moreover, when it comes to royal family members, especially the marriage of the future heir to the throne will be carefully selected, which also means that it will take longer.
European royal marriages pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds, and are relatively strict. For an heir to the throne like William, the status of his fiancée must be at least the daughter of a duke, and the earl is basically not considered.
Fortunately, there are still many royal families in Europe, and the German and Russian royal families have also been preserved, so there is room for choice.
Arthur also directly told the two little guys that he would support them in their free love within the scope of choice and would not force them to be engaged in a short time.
But the time range is within three years. If they can't find their favorite candidates within three years, then Arthur will choose a more suitable marriage partner for them in the European royal family.
Of course, as the heir to the throne, William's range of choices is much smaller than that of Anna.
Arthur doesn't actually have too many requirements for his only daughter, Anna. If Anna chooses to marry a foreign royal family, Arthur will give her a large dowry, and the total value is definitely an unimaginable figure.
If Anna chooses to marry a noble or commoner in Australasia, Arthur will grant Anna and her fiancé a title, allowing them to live a noble and luxurious aristocratic life in Australasia.
This is also the difference between ordinary royal family members and heirs to the throne. It is impossible for William to marry a commoner, and doing so is likely to cause their descendants to lose the right to inherit the throne.
But Anna does not have so many restrictions. With Arthur's support, she can choose her ideal husband at will, and Arthur will ensure that Anna has enough assets no matter how she chooses.
Of course, the two little guys who are about to become kings will not be an exception. Although they are about to have two huge kingdoms, they are their own children after all, and gifts for them must be prepared.
And according to the situation of their respective countries, Arthur's gifts to them are also customized, which will definitely enable them to have better development in the new country.
George's West Coast United Kingdom is still good in the shipbuilding industry. After George truly controls the power of the government, Arthur will let the government and the West Coast United Kingdom establish cooperation to help the West Coast United Kingdom become a first-class shipbuilding power in North America and a second-class shipbuilding power in the world.
This scale is also completely sufficient, and it is not appropriate to have more or less. With the shipbuilding industry, the West Coast United Kingdom can also have sufficient fiscal revenue, and the country's finances will not be burdened.
And Peter's Kingdom of California does not need shipbuilding the most. California's population and economy are more developed than the West Coast United Kingdom, but this also means that California will be more chaotic.
Arthur will give Peter an additional small navy, plus some weapons and equipment support, so that he has more sufficient military strength.
As for the future development direction of the two little guys' countries, Arthur has almost customized them for them.
California is more suitable for the development of industry and technology. If it works hard on new technologies, it may not be much worse than California in the future.
The West Coast United Kingdom is more suitable for the development of agriculture. Montana and Wyoming are both famous grain-producing states in the future.
As long as agriculture can be developed, the grain of the West Coast United Kingdom will definitely be sold throughout North America, and the economy will not necessarily be worse than California.
Moreover, the West Coast United Kingdom has a larger land area and its long-term development potential is definitely higher.
As long as it can attract enough people from the Great Lakes Industrial Zone and the East Coast of the United States, it is not impossible to achieve rapid development in a short period of time.
Of course, these must be done after the two little guys really take control of power.
After all, if it is really realized, the political achievements of completing these things will give them a lot of reputation to stabilize their ruling position.
If it is proposed now, it will only stabilize the governments of California and the West Coast United Kingdom, not the two little guys who are kings.
At present, the courses of the two little guys have doubled compared to before, and many courses on politics have been added.
There are also various modern histories, including the reasons for the rise and fall of the United States, so that they can have a deeper understanding of the United States and rule these Americans more effectively.
Of course, there is another reason, which is to let the two little guys deeply understand the bad situation that the United States faced before.
If you want to quickly resolve the contradictions in the United States, you must cut the Gordian knot and directly exclude the black population from the rule.
However, this obviously has to take a big pot, which still has a great impact on the reputation of a king.
Although most European countries are racist, no one will say it clearly, after all, there are many saints among white people.
The best way is to let the government take the blame and let the government issue a policy to abolish the legal status of blacks.
In the end, the worst case scenario is to directly dismiss the government, and the two little guys can also use this to increase their reputation.
This is also some means in politics, which requires the two little guys to use it personally after learning to better master it.
To put it bluntly, politics cannot be learned from books. Only by experiencing it personally and finding ways to solve some difficult problems in politics can you enhance your political experience.
After the two little guys took power, they had to face those old fox-like politicians and the few capitalists on the west coast of the United States.
If you want to push the country in the direction you want, you must make a lot of efforts.
Although Arthur is a backer, Arthur certainly can't help them develop the country personally.
Arthur even thinks that some small setbacks will make them better, which is also what they must experience to become a qualified ruler.
There are not many royal families in Europe, but there are definitely not many. But if you want to find a more suitable engagement partner for William and Anna in the European royal family, there are actually very few options.
Arthur does not want to marry with the British royal family. After all, his grandmother Queen Victoria carries hemophilia. If the Australasian royal family is infected with this disease, it will be a heavy blow to the royal rule.
If the royal family wants to be stable, it must have many offspring, and hemophilia is one of the reasons why many European royal families have died out.
Germany and Russia are not within Arthur's consideration. Germany's current situation is not peaceful. If World War II is launched as in history, whether William II can keep his throne is definitely a question.
Arthur has already married a Russian princess, so there is no need for his son to marry another one. After all, Russia cannot help Australasia now, and deepening ties may become a burden.
This has actually ruled out almost all the powerful countries. Because in addition to Britain, Germany and Russia, the only countries that can be called powers and monarchies are Austria and Italy.
Italy's current situation is even worse than Germany, and Austria's throne is not stable, which also means that the only options are those small countries in Europe.
However, Australasia does not need external help at this time. Arthur hopes that the two little guys can find what they really like, and the best way is to let them choose by themselves.
Yes, it's that simple.
Arthur asked Queen Mary to take William and Anna to visit Russia, and almost all the monarchies in Europe were added to the journey.
Arthur's meaning is also very simple, that is, to give William and Anna enough opportunities to visit the monarchies in Europe one by one and inspect all their possible engagement partners one by one.
After all, there are still many private banquets between European royal families, and many of them are simply for royal family members to find their favorite objects.
Many royal family members in history also found their wives and husbands in this way, but more of them were arranged marriages by their elders.
William and Anna naturally understood that Arthur was tolerant enough, and the two did not say much. They followed Queen Mary to Europe and began their own visit.
