Chapter 267 The sudden change of the German Olympic Committee

More than a month has passed since the cruise. Even though Arthur had made preparations before, he was already feeling like he was returning home. new

After all, Arthur was a father for the first time in this life. He had been away from Sydney for more than a month, and he actually really missed the little guy.

Arthur's cruise became much simpler once he returned to the Australasian mainland.

After all, Arthur's control within the Australian mainland is still very strong, and with the help of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, the news in each state is basically controlled by Arthur, so the tour is just a process.

At least these officials must know that Arthur will come to check their work from time to time, so that they can maintain a cautious and positive working attitude, so that they can better help Australasia develop.

Arthur mainly inspected three directions during this tour. One was the living conditions of the residents in the city where he was located. To put it bluntly, it was the local people's support and support for the government.

Second and third are the industrial and agricultural conditions near the city. Needless to say, the importance of industry. No matter what type of industry it is, it plays a very important role in the development of the country.

Not to mention agriculture. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. If we cannot produce enough food, then other education, medical care, industry, etc. will be nonsense.

Without enough to eat, Arthur could not guarantee what his people would do.

Therefore, Australasia's governance strategy is very simple, that is, first let all citizens have enough to eat and not go hungry, and then consider the issue of national development.

The current government and Arthur have done a good job in this regard. Although the population of Australasia is constantly growing, they can ensure that every citizen will not go hungry.

After staying at the Leonora Industrial Base for a few days, Arthur finally embarked on his return journey by industrial railway. new

The Leonora Industrial Base is the most important construction plan for Australasia's industrial development in recent years, which is why Arthur stayed alone at the Leonora Industrial Base for a few days.

Not only must we inspect the current construction status of the Leonora Industrial Base, but we must also ensure that the construction of the industrial base is free of any corruption and embezzlement. This is something that Arthur will never allow.

If the construction goes smoothly, the Leonora Industrial Base will become the largest and most concentrated industrial base in Australasia in the future, and Western Australia will also become the industrial center of Australasia.

This kind of construction cannot be hindered by anyone. This is not only related to the future of national development, but also related to the fate of Australasia in the next two wars.

After leaving Leonora Industrial Base, the rest of the cruise became much simpler.

The entire Industrial Railway journey took Arthur just over a week, and he finally returned to Sydney around mid-December.

As we approach late December, Australasia is about to usher in another Christmas.

I remember that Christmas last year coincided with the good news of Queen Mary's pregnancy, which also left Arthur with little time to be busy with government affairs for almost a whole year from then to now.

After returning to Sydney Palace, William and Anna were already two months old. Although they still couldn't clearly call Arthur, they were babbling and learning words, coupled with the close movements and curved movements of the two little guys. Lips, Arthur knew they were calling him.

Arthur also tried to teach the two little guys how to call daddy, but in the end he gave up helplessly.

After all, they are only more than two months old now, so it is really difficult for them to learn to call others.

While Arthur was enjoying the happiness of having two sons and a daughter, Foreign Secretary Andrew and Propaganda Minister Grant came to visit, interrupting Arthur's beautiful life.

"Your Majesty, the chairman of the German Olympic Committee died suddenly of illness. The Germans may have to give up the right to host the next Olympics." Foreign Minister Andrew said hurriedly as soon as he saw Arthur.

The Olympic Summer Games has been held since its first session and has been held for 14 times so far.

The number of participating countries and athletes in each Olympic Games has been rising steadily. Especially in the London Olympics last year, the number of participating countries and athletes set a record.

The Olympic Games at that time even caused a sensation in half of Europe and America, and barely became an event that attracted world attention.

The host country of any Olympic Games will receive attention from all over the world during the Olympic Games, and even if it operates well, it can really attract the attention of the world.

This is very helpful for a country to enhance its international influence and appear frequently in the world, and this is exactly what Australasia needs now.

If the Olympics can be used to expand Australasia's international influence and attract more immigrants from Europe, then there will be no loss in hosting the Olympics.

new

"Is the news accurate? What is the reaction of the International Olympic Committee?" Arthur immediately became interested and asked.

"There should be no problem with the news, Your Majesty. The Germans have not concealed this news, and have even given up the intention to host the Olympics." Foreign Minister Andrew quickly replied.

"This is good news. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately contacted the relevant departments in Germany and asked them whether they would give up the right to host the Olympics. If they choose to give up, ask them if they can directly transfer the right to host the Olympics to us." Se pondered for a while and immediately made up his mind.

Historically, such an incident has happened this year, but it was in May.

After the president of the German Olympic Committee suddenly died of illness, Germany immediately announced that it would give up the right to host the fifth Olympic Games.

Because it was only to be held in less than three years, the fifth Olympic Games became a mess at the time, and was eventually won by Sweden, which had wanted to host the Olympics for a long time.

Arthur originally thought that this event in history would never happen. Unexpectedly, even though the president of the German Olympic Committee escaped in May, he died suddenly before the New Year.

But there is two pieces of good news for Australasia. First, if the time is pushed back even further, the mess will get worse, and Sweden will have to think carefully if it wants to take over.

The second is that with the good relationship between Australasia and the Germans, if the Germans really want to give up the right to host the Olympics, there is a high chance that the Germans will transfer the right to host the Olympics to Australasia.

This kind of thing may seem like a fantasy to later generations, but in this era of great powers competing for hegemony, sports are really controlled by politics.

As the world's second largest power, if the German Empire publicly announced that it would transfer the right to host the event, would other countries compete for the right to host the event?

It’s hard to say, but there probably aren’t that many people who are brainless.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will immediately contact the German sports department and the German government. If it is confirmed that Germany will give up the hosting rights, I will request Germany to transfer the hosting rights to us in the name of the government." Minister Andrew nodded immediately and said.

"Well, this matter needs to be done quickly. We are not the only country that wants to host the Olympics, so don't let others pick the peaches first." Arthur nodded and motioned to Minister Andrew to contact him immediately.

After Minister Andrew received the order and left, Arthur looked at Propaganda Minister Grant and ordered: "Minister Grant, if we really win the right to host the next Olympics, your Propaganda Department will have a very heavy task."

Grant Wilson nodded solemnly and said generally: "I understand, Your Majesty. Please rest assured that whether it is for foreign or domestic propaganda, the Propaganda Department will do its best and use its greatest efforts to promote our The Olympic Games have spread significantly at home and abroad."

Although the development of the Olympic Games has attracted the attention of many countries, no one can guarantee whether the Olympic Games held in Australasia will be unexpected.

The best way to prevent accidents is to promote the Australasian Olympics to the point where it attracts world attention.

Some countries may not participate in an ordinary sports event, but what if it is an Olympic Games that attracts worldwide attention and many major powers will participate?

This gives the Olympic Games a lot of political overtones. For the sake of their international influence and prestige, big countries are bound to participate and compete with other countries that have hatred to win or lose.

Big countries have participated. Do small countries that are sheltered by big countries dare not to give face to participate? After all, the eldest brother has come to an end, and if the younger brother doesn’t end, isn’t this not giving the eldest brother face?

In this way, Arthur does not believe that the Olympic Games he holds will be worse than the previous Olympic Games. Even if it is not as good as the London Olympics hosted by the British Empire, the most powerful country in the world, it is still better than the previous three Olympics!

Of course, Arthur is not without options. After thinking for a while, Arthur looked at Grant and said with a smile: "Minister Grant, in addition to your own work in the Propaganda Department, I have another task for you."

After hearing Arthur's words, Minister Grant immediately sat upright and listened quietly and carefully.

"It's not a big deal, Minister Grant. If we successfully obtain the right to host the Olympic Games, we will definitely send many athletes to participate in the Olympic Games. But you know, the current sports system in Australasia is not yet mature, and many sports industries People are motivated by interest rather than true love. If possible, I hope you can seize the construction of the sports department and build a complete sports system for Australasia to cope with the future Olympic Games. You can do it "?" Arthur smiled, relaxing the originally serious atmosphere.

Minister Grant quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "No problem, Your Majesty. There are still two years left. There is no problem in establishing a sports department and training a group of athletes. But if we want these newly trained athletes to compete in the Olympics, Getting grades in school is probably not something that can be done easily.”
