Chapter 811 Peter, King of California
"Father, don't worry. With this guard and your support, I will definitely become a great monarch like you and make California stronger." In mid-February 1933, a tearful farewell took place in the palace.
After more than ten years of training by Arthur, Peter, who was born in 1915, finally grew up. After his 18th birthday, he was going to the Kingdom of California to officially take over the kingdom's power.
Arthur was naturally reluctant to do so, but he also knew that this was Peter's best chance to control the Kingdom of California.
Anyway, with the support of himself and Australasia, there was no need to worry about Peter's rule in California.
Moreover, Peter's title in Australasia was still retained, and he was still the glorious Duke of Darwin of Australia.
In addition to allowing Peter to receive 1% of Darwin's tax revenue every year, this would also allow him to continue to stay in the aristocratic system of Australasia and receive Arthur's blessing.
"Peter, when you go to California, you must pay attention to your safety. When you encounter problems, discuss them with your subordinates. If you really can't solve them, you can also contact your father." Queen Mary was reluctant to leave and gave her son Peter many instructions.
"I understand, mother." Peter nodded with a smile and said confidently: "With the guards given to me by my father, my safety in California is guaranteed.
Uncle Garvin will also help me. If there is really something that cannot be solved, I will contact you."
The Uncle Garvin mentioned by Peter is actually the butler that Arthur specially selected for Peter.
After deciding to make Peter and George the king of America, Arthur has already begun to make arrangements for them.
An important item in the layout is to select loyal butlers for them as their right-hand men and left-hand men to rule their own country.
Just like the butler Kent who is loyal to Arthur, Peter and George also have their own butlers.
These butlers all have an obvious characteristic, that is, they are very loyal to their masters Peter and George, and can truly share the same fate with Peter and George.
"Peter, keep in touch if you have anything." Crown Prince William also smiled and looked at his younger brother. The relationship between the brothers is still very good: "Mother is already choosing a queen for you. I hope to attend your wedding this year."
"Don't worry, don't worry." When it comes to other things, Peter is confident and smiling.
But when it comes to choosing a future wife for himself, Peter rarely shows a shy smile, trying to skip this embarrassing topic.
"Peter, you haven't forgotten what I told you before?" Arthur stood up at this time and looked at Peter seriously.
"I will never forget it, father." Peter nodded firmly, put away all his expressions, and said seriously and seriously: "We will always be a family, and I will always abide by the relevant regulations of the royal family."
The regulations that Arthur mentioned are actually the constraints on members of the royal family and what Arthur asked before Peter left.
The first is the relationship between the little guys. When they were all princes, their relationship might be very good.
But after they ruled different countries, the overlapping interests between countries might affect their relationship.
Arthur's request was that no matter how conflicting the interests of countries were, they must ensure the safety and harmony between brothers.
There were also some requirements for Peter. Although Peter was very obedient under Arthur's teaching.
But after going to the United States to become the king of California, there was a whole Pacific Ocean between him and Australasia, and many things had to be decided by Peter himself.
As the king of the entire California, Peter had great power and was absolutely tempted.
One of Arthur's requirements for Peter mentioned that Peter could be allowed to be a little bit wild in his private life, but the news of his private life must not be put on the surface.
Secondly, after Queen Mary found a wife for Peter, Peter must manage the relationship between him and his wife, at least on the surface, to be harmonious.
There was also the rule of California. To the north of California was the West Coast United Kingdom, which Peter's younger brother, George, would rule in the future.
The two countries were not far apart, and Arthur did not want to see a war between the two countries.
At present, both California and the United Kingdom of the West Coast have a lot of land, but a sparse population.
Their first task is to increase the population and develop the economy, followed by expanding a certain industrial scale.
As for large-scale expansion, it basically has nothing to do with the two little guys. Their geographical location determines that they will not expand on a large scale. The better way is to develop the economy and make their country richer and stronger.
In order to ensure Peter's safety, Arthur carefully prepared an army for Peter. This army has been trained for several years and has been instilled with the idea of loyalty to Peter.
I dare not guarantee everyone, but most of the people in the army are definitely loyal to Peter.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment and military expenses of this army are all borne by Peter himself, which can also improve the loyalty of the army to a certain extent.
As for whether this army can be fully mastered, it depends on the ability and charm that Peter shows after arriving in California.
This was the first test that Arthur gave Peter before he arrived in California.
If he couldn't even subdue this army, how could Arthur believe that Peter could make the entire country loyal to him after arriving in the Kingdom of California?
In addition to the army of less than a thousand people arranged for Peter, there were also a small number of officials, some medical experts, many servants, Peter's personal tailor, jeweler and chef, etc. who followed Peter to California this time.
Those who could get close to Peter in all aspects naturally gave priority to loyal people from Australasia.
After everything was prepared, it was almost the day for Peter to leave Australasia.
Crown Prince William and government representatives personally sent Peter on the ship, and after watching Peter go far away to the east, they returned the same way.
The good news is that with the development of human technology, the distance between Australasia and California is no longer a problem.
Before, the two places were separated by the entire Pacific Ocean, and it took at least nearly a month to sail with the fastest ship.
With the continuous development of airplanes, people's travel speed is getting faster and faster.
According to the fastest plane now, it only takes about three days to get from Australasia to California.
If there is really an emergency, the fastest plane in the world can be used to get back to Australasia within a week.
This is also the reason why Arthur is not so sad about Peter's departure. Going to California is a better choice for Peter.
But it is undeniable that after sending Peter away, the palace became much quieter than before.
Currently, the royal family members living in the palace, in addition to Princess Louise, Arthur and Queen Mary, are only Princess Anna, Prince George, Crown Prince William, Princess Alexandrine and their child Alexander.
More than two years ago, Crown Prince William's wife Princess Alexandrine successfully became pregnant and successfully gave birth to the third-generation heir to the royal family, that is, Crown Prince William's eldest son Alexander.
As soon as little Alexander was born, he was loved by Arthur, as well as Princess Louise and Queen Mary.
In the entire Australasia royal family, little Alexander is definitely the most powerful little guy.
Born in July 1931, little Alexander is only one and a half years old now, and has just learned to walk and talk.
But Arthur's desk has been damaged by little Alexander many times, and even some important documents have been thrown everywhere by little Alexander.
However, Arthur often responds to little Alexander's mischief with a smile, without any harsh meaning.
After all, this is the third generation of inheritance of the throne. For Arthur, nothing is more important than little Alexander.
Even little Alexander has received the most special treatment from the royal family and has obtained his own title as soon as he was born.
As the son of Crown Prince William, little Alexander is destined to be the next Prince of New Zealand, that is, the Crown Prince of the Empire.
However, before he becomes the Crown Prince of the Empire, he must have his own title and corresponding territory.
Arthur also made no secret of his love for little Alexander and directly awarded little Alexander the title of Duke of Sydney.
Sydney is too special for Australasia, and its importance is not inferior to the capital, Fort St. Arthur, and its status in Arthur's mind is even more remarkable.
Although it was the former capital of the country, Arthur spent the most important period of his life in Sydney.
It was also in Sydney that Arthur, starting from the Duke of Australia, gradually acquired New Zealand and New Guinea, and established a unified Kingdom of Australasia.
In Sydney, Arthur went from a member of the British royal family to the King of Australasia, and won the love of the vast majority of Australasia people.
As the current economic center and largest city in Australasia, Sydney has a separate Sydney Territory, which can prove the status of Sydney in Arthur's heart.
Giving the title of Sydney to little Alexander actually confirmed the identity of Alexander's third-generation heir.
In addition to the affirmation of the name, the annual fiscal revenue of the Sydney Territory is also a rather exaggerated figure.
As the Duke of Sydney, little Alexander can get 1% of the total fiscal revenue of the Sydney Territory every year, which is definitely not a small number.
Before little Alexander came of age, the money would be kept by his mother, Princess Alexandrine, until little Alexander came of age, and then the money would be returned to him in full.
It is certain that when little Alexander comes of age, the annual funds he receives from the Duke of Sydney will add up to at least tens of millions.
He can become a multimillionaire in the future without doing anything, which is also the best gift Arthur gave to little Alexander.
This treatment is better than all of Arthur's sons, which is enough to prove the truth of the saying that generations are close.
