Chapter 16 Pre-hospital Interview

"Your Highness!"

"Long live His Highness!"

Amidst the cheers, Arthur calmly stepped out of the carriage and, escorted by several guards, headed for the State House.

After entering the State House, Arthur saw Governor Evan directing his subordinates to count the candidates.

As the most populous state in Australia, the election in New South Wales is also the most intense.

Although it has the most seats in the House of Commons among the six states in Australia, the election is extremely difficult, and it is not enough to describe its difficulty as one in a million.

As the governors of the six states in Australia and members of the interim cabinet, several governors were granted by Arthur to enter the House of Commons directly.

Of course, it was only this time. If the six governors cannot win the next gubernatorial election and lose the next House of Commons election, then they can only bid farewell to Australian politics temporarily.

"Your Highness!" The sharp-eyed Governor Evan saw Arthur coming and quickly stopped his work to greet him.

"Your Highness!"

The whole state assembly greeted him.

"Well, Governor Evan, how is the election going? Is it going smoothly?" Arthur nodded, looking at the half-person-high information next to Governor Evan, and asked.

"Of course, Your Highness. So far, everything is going in an orderly manner. We have not found any cheating, which is good news worth celebrating." Governor Evan said with a smile.

Since Arthur confirmed his royal status at the last meeting, Governor Evan has accepted his fate.

Rather than fighting for power with Arthur without knowing the height of the world, it is better to use his ability to gain Arthur's status, at least he can become a senior figure in Australia.

"Really? That's good. How many new candidates are there today?" Arthur asked as he walked out of the state assembly and came to the place where candidates registered.

"The number of candidates registered today has dropped significantly compared to the previous six days. Perhaps it is clear that running on the last day has lost its advantage, so today's candidates are only these." Governor Evan said, pointing to the people queuing.

Arthur looked around. Although there were many people around, there were not many people who actually signed up to run for election. It seemed that there were less than fifty people.

Compared with the grand election in the past few days, this was already much lower. After all, it was the last day of the election. Even if he ran today, he would not be able to get many votes.

Arthur smiled and stepped forward, his eyes fixed on a man who looked very fanatical, and asked: "Sir, what is your name?"

"Kan Kanglait, Your Highness." The fanatical man saw Arthur getting closer and closer to him, and even spoke to him. He was so excited that he stuttered.

"Kan Lait, right? Don't be nervous, this is just a normal conversation. Are you here to run for election?" Arthur didn't care about the nervousness and failure of the man in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness. If we were not too far away from Sydney, I would not have come here today." The man named Kanglait took a long time to speak fluently, but he still didn't dare to look at Arthur, so he could only look down at his toes.

"Come on, sir." Arthur also saw Conlet's embarrassment, smiled and patted Conlet's shoulder, and turned his eyes to other people.

"Are you here to run for election too?" Arthur looked at the crowd and found two middle-aged men who looked unusual in the crowd.

Others faced Arthur's gaze, showing excitement and excitement, as well as nervousness and uneasiness.

This is a normal performance for civilians, after all, they are facing the supreme ruler of this country, Arthur.

Although these two people are a little nervous, compared with the people around them, they are much more calm.

Confirming that Arthur is talking to them, the two immediately replied impatiently: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Can you make a simple self-introduction?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"Of course, Your Highness." Henry was about to continue, but Martin on the side took the lead.

"My name is Martin, and I am an official of the Sydney City Government." Martin said respectfully.

Seeing that his friend had spoken first, Henry did not get angry. He waited for Martin to finish before continuing: "Your Highness, my name is Henry, and I am also an official of the Sydney City Government."

"Well, can you tell me the purpose of your participation in the election? Or what will you do after you become a member of parliament?" Henry's calmness and the calmness of the two made Arthur slightly interested, so he asked a few more questions.

"Of course, it is to develop the country and strive to improve the living standards of all Australians." Martin replied.

Although most Australians evolved from Western immigrants, in fact, the living standards of Australians are far behind those of more developed powers such as Britain, Germany, France, and the United States.

Therefore, after Martin was asked by Arthur, the first thing he thought of was to improve the economic income and living standards of all Australians.

"Well, very good. What about you?" Arthur looked at Henry and continued to ask.

Of the two, Arthur was most interested in Henry, and he was also looking forward to Henry's answer to this question.

"Your Highness, in the decades since I became a city government official, I have seen too many cases of death due to inability to afford medical treatment, and too many families that went bankrupt because of trying to save their families. I know that it is not possible to completely solve this problem in a short period of time, but I am willing to fight for it." Henry looked at Arthur's face and found that Arthur was very interested in what he said, so he continued: "Of course, I know that all this depends on the premise of national development. All Australians should not be obsessed with immediate interests, but give priority to developing our country and making it a prosperous and developed country. Only then can the government have enough funds to help the poor and improve everyone's living standards. The people trust the country, and the country protects the people. In this way, why should Australia not become a strong country, and why should Australians not improve their lives?"

Papa! Papa! Arthur was the first to applaud, and said to Henris with a smile: "Well said, Henris. As long as the people have full trust in the country and work together to develop our motherland. When our country prospers and develops and has sufficient economic strength, we will give back to our people. The people and the country complement each other, and the national rejuvenation and the people's prosperity are our ultimate goals!"
