Chapter 817 Anna's Other Half
Fin Hudson's career in the officialdom of Australasia is quite inspiring. As an Australasian native with no background, Finn Hudson successfully graduated from the National University through his own efforts at the beginning of the establishment of the National University, and returned to his hometown, which is Western Australia.
When the Leonora Industrial Base was built, Finn Hudson was fortunately selected because of his major and entered the management department of the Leonora Industrial Base, which can be regarded as a national key project.
Later, Finn Hudson showed his talents in the Leonora Industrial Base and became the person in charge of the third phase of the industrial base construction.
With such a resume, Finn Hudson was finally honored to be elected as the second district governor of the Leonora Industrial Base Special District, and because of his good performance, he was elected as the new governor by the Western Australian State Assembly.
After becoming a major official of a state, Finn Hudson's quite inspiring political career naturally reached Arthur's ears.
As a native of Australasia, Arthur still has a lot of good feelings for him. After a series of rigorous political background investigations, Finn Hudson was successfully identified by Arthur as one of the key training targets, and Finn Hudson was only 37 years old at the time.
After Finn Hudson completed his resume in Western Australia, he was transferred to Sydney Territory by Arthur as the new governor.
Then he was transferred from Sydney Territory to the Capital Territory, and his ability was fully recognized by Arthur.
In fact, in Arthur's original plan, Finn Hudson's key training direction was actually the industry.
Even if he entered the cabinet, he should have become the Minister of Industry of the Cabinet Government. But two things exceeded Arthur's expectations.
The first thing was that Kent's health was getting worse and worse, and some of the affairs of the royal consortium needed to be transferred to Hunter.
The other thing was that Finn Hudson's ability in the economy shown in his resume in Sydney and the Capital Territory made Arthur very satisfied.
As for the vacant Minister of Industry, Arthur regarded it as compensation for the conservatives. Anyway, Australasia's current industry only needs to develop steadily, and does not require too much adjustment or more radical strategies.
It is precisely because of this that the position of Minister of Industry was eventually obtained by the conservative party. David Paul Oliver, the leader of the Liberal Party in the conservative faction, finally got the position of Minister of Industry and successfully entered the cabinet.
Grant Wilson, who had previously served as Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chief Justice, as the main leader of the Unity Party, also got the position of Minister of Agriculture that was vacant because Maciej Sweeney became the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
As for the Imperial Chief Justice, that is, the original position of Chief Justice, it is the most frequently replaced position in the Australasian Cabinet.
But this is normal. As the highest person in charge of the Imperial Court, the Chief Justice actually has great power in his hands.
The Imperial Government has extremely high power over the states, and the Imperial Court also has extremely high power over the state courts of the states.
Although the states have certain sovereignty in administration and justice, the administration and justice of the states must be implemented in accordance with the highest imperial constitution.
At the same time, the Imperial Court has the right to reject the administrative and judicial laws enacted by the states, which also means that the chief justice has extremely high power and has certain supervisory power over the governors and cabinet officials of each state.
The political structure of Australasia is a special political system created based on the political structures of various countries.
The cabinet government, the Imperial Court and the House of Representatives are similar to the troika system in the United States. The cabinet government enjoys the highest administrative power, the Imperial Court enjoys the highest judicial power, and the House of Representatives enjoys the highest legislative power.
The three supervise and cooperate with each other, which has extremely high stability for the country. Unlike the troika system in the United States, Australasia also has Arthur, who is the emperor.
Arthur has three powers at the same time, and in the constitution, the power of the monarch is higher than the troika.
However, Arthur did not specify the subdivision of the power of the monarch and the troika in the constitution. There is an advantage to doing this. If Australasia has a monarch like Arthur who is very popular, then it can naturally influence the government, the court and the House of Representatives easily based on the vague power definition of the constitution.
But if the successor monarch does not have much support, he can also hide in the palace, reduce his influence, and be a puppet at ease.
The new chief justice was chosen by Pedro Henrique. This guy is a rare neutral person in the House of Representatives of Australasia. He has not joined any political party, nor has he supported any political faction.
In Pedro Henrique's political career, he is fair and meticulous.
It is precisely because of this character and principle that he is loved by many people and respected by members of the House of Representatives, and was elected as the new chief justice.
After all, the most important thing for legal work is to be fair and just, and to be meticulous in any affairs and work.
After the election of cabinet members, according to convention, the new imperial government cabinet will swear allegiance to Arthur with great fanfare the day after they are successfully elected.
This is a step that can never be avoided. These officials must understand who they are working for and whose interests they should prioritize.
Because the election lasted for a whole month, by the time these new cabinet members swore allegiance to Arthur, it was already July 1933.
Time always slips away inadvertently, and Arthur firmly believes in this sentence.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of 1933 has passed. During this period, Germany also successfully expanded its army to 250,000, and with the support of Italy, it purchased a large number of weapons and light weapons from Britain, completely arming its army.
In order to get the loyalty of the army, the mustache was also at a loss. He has two major military forces in his hands, namely the regular army of Germany and the stormtroopers that have been reorganized into the SS.
Obviously, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. A country must eventually clarify who is the regular army and who is the party supported by the country.
Obviously, in the final confrontation, the army is still better. The mustache cut off part of the SS and transferred all the support for the SS to the army.
Such actions were naturally accepted by the military, and the military also turned to be loyal to the government, and Germany finally began to unify.
It is worth mentioning that although the British seemed to have earned some income from Germany's military expansion, it was Australasia that made the most money.
Because of the large military expansion in Kalimantan and the Philippines, Australasia's various weapons had a target for dumping.
In addition to the war provoked by the island country, Australasia sent some weapons to the enemies of the island country. Adhering to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, these weapons were basically sold at low prices in order to create some trouble for the islanders.
Adding up all kinds of weapons, Australasia also earned a small amount of income in this arms trade.
This made Arthur more confident in the expansion of the navy, and even at the first meeting of the new cabinet, he directly asked the defense department to speed up the construction of the navy.
As for the government, Arthur also had the requirement of maintaining rapid development. While the war has not yet come, this is also a good opportunity for all walks of life in Australasia to flourish.
Only by stockpiling enough war supplies before the war can Australasia respond calmly in the war and seek more benefits for itself in future wars.
Time flies, and in the peace without war, the second half of 1933 passed quickly.
Of course, there were a lot of big news in the second half of 1933.
First of all, Arthur's most beloved daughter, Princess Anna, who was born in 1909 and is now 24 years old, finally found her ideal partner.
However, the identity of the partner found by Princess Anna is actually a bit "special".
When Arthur heard that Princess Anna found someone she liked, he was a little happy at first.
But when he heard that the person Princess Anna liked was Prince Juan, who was four years younger than him, Arthur had a headache again.
Prince Juan, this title seems a bit strange. But he has another title in history, Prince Juan of Spain, a member of the Spanish royal family who was posthumously named Juan III without ascending the throne.
Prince Juan's father is famous. He is the last monarch of the Kingdom of Spain, the posthumous son of Alfonso XII, and Alfonso XIII of Spain.
If it were two years ago, Prince Juan's status would still be very noble. He would still be a prince of Spain, and his father would also be one of the most distinguished nobles at the time, the king of the Kingdom of Spain, a major European country.
But now, because of his support for the dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, a revolution broke out in Spain, and Alfonso XIII was forced to abdicate and flee.
Then it was a more bloody story. Prince Juan, who fled with his father, traveled to many countries and met Princess Anna, whom he had met in Europe, in Australasia, and finally started a love affair.
Arthur was actually quite troubled by his possible son-in-law's identity. Although he was of the Spanish royal bloodline, the Spanish royal family was gone.
Even if Arthur can help Alfonso XIII to restore the throne, Alfonso XIII still has his eldest son, Prince Alfonso, and Prince Juan's succession order will be after Prince Alfonso and Prince Jaime.
However, with Arthur's love for Princess Anna, such a problem is not unsolvable for Arthur.
Moreover, if the problem cannot be solved, then directly solving the person who raised the problem is also a good way.
