The Rise of Australia

Chapter 732: The Coronation of Two Kings

Nationality has always been an important factor affecting the stability of a country. As an immigrant country, Australasia is inevitably a multi-ethnic country.

If divided according to the country where immigrants lived before, the number of ethnic groups in Australasia has exceeded 20, with British, Russian and German rank in the top three.

To be honest, if British immigrants had not maintained more than 55% of the total population, Arthur would not be as relaxed as he is now.

But the biggest result of doing so is to affect the population growth of Australasia, after all, British immigrants are also limited.

Although the demise of the United States has reduced a major competitor to Australasia, the British will certainly notice the growing strength of Australasia.

It is almost impossible to immigrate from Britain as smoothly as before, which also means that if the high proportion of British immigrants continues to be maintained, the reduction in the overall number of immigrants has become inevitable.

Although a certain number of British immigrants can be supplemented from the United States, this is not a long-term solution after all.

If you want to completely solve the national problem of the country, you must try every means to transform all ethnic groups into one, that is, the concept of the Australasia nation that Arthur has worked hard to cultivate.

Hearing that Arthur had entrusted such an important matter to him, Grant nodded decisively, and said very respectfully and firmly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the task and move in the direction you want."

Arthur nodded calmly, watching Grant leave the office respectfully.

It was not beyond Arthur's expectations to hand this matter over to Grant, and Arthur could accept it no matter what it was.

After all, as long as Arthur was still there, the country would not be in chaos. As long as the country was not in chaos, there would be enough time to realize the so-called May Day theory.

As time entered May 1929, the preparations for several kingdoms in North America had entered a new stage.

The British were very anxious. While they were responsible for the establishment of two kingdoms on the east coast of the United States, they were selecting suitable candidates for the king in Europe.

Because it was the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom, this meant that the kings of these two countries must be close to the United Kingdom, preferably the British royal family.

Secondly, it is best not to have too deep a connection with other powers. After all, such a country separated by an ocean is difficult to control and can easily fall into the arms of other countries.

According to Arthur's intelligence, the British have determined that the king of the East Coast United Kingdom is Prince Henry, the third son of the current British King George V.

As for the other king candidate named the Kingdom of Virginia, George V wanted to nominate his fourth son, Duke George of Kent, as king, but the government obviously had a completely opposite opinion.

Letting George V's two sons become kings will greatly enhance the prestige and strength of the British royal family.

For the British government, this is not necessarily a good thing. If the two princes become kings and have a certain military strength, and in turn help the British royal family, it is very likely that George V will gain higher power.

In contrast, the power of Parliament and the government is naturally weakened.

For their own power, the government and Parliament directly opposed George V's proposal and insisted on re-selecting a king for the Kingdom of Virginia.

The remaining royal families to choose from are only small European countries. After all, the British government will not give up the Kingdom of Virginia.

Compared with the chaos of the British in the selection of the king, there was no problem in Australasia.

On May 15, 1929, after almost all the preparations were done, Arthur took Peter and George on a ship to the United States. Arthur will personally attend the coronation ceremony of the two little guys and congratulate them on becoming the king of a country.

More than 20 days later, on June 11, 1929, Arthur and his party successfully arrived in Los Angeles, the capital of the Kingdom of California, and met with Silvio, the commander-in-chief of the West Coast garrison.

The 100,000 troops of Australasia that had previously gone to the United States were almost intact, and all stayed in the United States to control the situation in the United States.

This also made the area under Australasia's control the most stable area in the United States, and few Americans would look for trouble within the scope of Australasia's control.

In fact, this is also normal. For ordinary people, as long as they can have enough food and live a good life, basically no extra ideas will be born.

Those who are ambitious will do everything they can to create chaos and create opportunities for their ambitions even when the country is relatively stable.

Obviously, with 100,000 troops stationed, the west coast of the United States is absolutely stable and safe.

The once unified US government is no match for Australasia, let alone a certain region that is now divided.

The policy of Americans managing Americans implemented by Australasia on the west coast of the United States is still very successful, at least the anger of Americans will be vented on their own people.

After arriving in the United States, Arthur successively inspected the preparations of the Kingdom of California and the United Kingdom of the West Coast.

After all, it is the coronation ceremony of the two little guys, and it is basically the only time in life, so it is worth making a big deal.

The materials needed are basically shipped from Australasia, and Arthur doesn't care about the cost.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance, the coronation ceremony for the two little guys alone cost more than 8 million Australian dollars, equivalent to two main battleships.

Of course, this is also to express to all Americans how much Arthur values ​​the two little guys. No matter what problems occur in the two countries, they will also give priority to ensuring the safety of the two little guys.

After all, they also have Arthur behind them. Arthur is their strong backing and will firmly protect them before they grow up.

Arthur's attitude is that appropriate opposition is okay, which is also a test for the two little guys.

But it cannot threaten the life safety of the two little guys, and even the risk of injury is not allowed.

In addition to bringing the two little guys and some Australian officials to the United States this time, Arthur also brought 3,000 royal guards.

This is an elite force specially trained by Arthur for the two little guys to protect their safety.

You know, the scale of the Australian Royal Guards is only about 6,000 people. Being able to train 3,000 royal guards specifically for the two little guys also proves Arthur's attitude towards the two little guys.

Don't underestimate the royal guards. Although the royal guards are not equipped with any heavy firepower weapons, they are well-equipped in terms of light weapons.

The royal guards are equipped with a large number of rifles, submachine guns, medium and light machine guns, grenades, fully automatic pistols, etc. that can be seen on the market.

Moreover, the soldiers of the royal guards are carefully selected from the army. Their loyalty to the royal family is even more reliable than that of the guards, because their greatest role is to protect the royal family.

In the next period of time, the families of these guards will also come to the United States with them and settle down on the west coast of the United States.

Each of the 3,000 royal guards can be allocated 1,500 people, so it goes without saying that Arthur treats them unfairly.

Although 1,500 people don't seem to be a lot, they can definitely protect the safety of the two little guys. You know, before the Kingdom of California and the United Kingdom of the West Coast are completely stabilized, the garrison in Australasia will not be withdrawn too much.

Basically, these 1,500 people can ensure that they can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, and even if they fight against tens of thousands of enemies, they can at least hold on for a few days.

It is almost impossible to find an army with equipment and combat effectiveness comparable to the Royal Guards on the West Coast of the United States, even compared with other divided countries.

The 1,500-man Royal Guards that both little guys can get are also their last trump card. In addition to these, Arthur will not easily help them again unless it involves a matter of principle.

This is also a test for the two little guys. After passing this test, the two little guys can grow into qualified monarchs and have no problem ruling their own countries.

But if they can't even pass such a test, Arthur can only say that his education is quite a failure.

Of course, judging from the age of the two little guys, they will return to Australasia after the coronation ceremony to receive a period of elite aristocratic education.

If all goes well, Peter can return to the Kingdom of California within 1 to 2 years.

George was too young, and his West Coast United Kingdom would be supervised and managed by the Australasian government until George came of age, when power would be returned to George.

This was also the reason why Arthur brought so many officials, in order to help George temporarily manage his kingdom.

With the help of Australasian officials in politics and the garrisons and royal guards in the military, Arthur could safely claim that the two kingdoms to be established were absolutely safe.

No kidding, even if the Americans rebelled, Arthur believed that these troops could suppress them.

After staying in the United States for half a month, the coronation ceremonies of the West Coast United Kingdom and the Kingdom of California were almost ready.

Under Arthur's witness, Peter was crowned King of California on June 27, 1929, and officially represented the establishment of the Kingdom of California.

A few days later, on June 30, 1929, George was crowned King of the West Coast United Kingdom in Seattle, and the two kingdoms of Australasian in the United States were successfully established.

The British were not to be outdone, and at the end of June, they helped Prince Henry and King Virginia, who was selected by the government, to hold coronation ceremonies.

In a few days, the United States welcomed four kings in succession, which also represents the end of the division of the United States by various countries.

The once huge power that could be called a giant has passed away, but the legacy it left behind is being inherited by other powers led by Britain, and they are constantly drawing nourishment from it.
