Chapter 347 Royal Sydney Zoo

After continuing to wander in this forest for most of the day, under the witness of the two little guys, Arthur, Kent Butler, and the accompanying guards hunted dozens of wild deer, bison and other prey. Only then were they satisfied. Return to the villa. New 𝐱.𝐜𝐨𝐦

There are still many wild animals in Australasia, especially some captive animals, such as cattle and sheep. After escaping from the pasture, they will slowly turn into wild animals.

For the hunting team, the most important food during this period is these captured wild animals.

Although there were hundreds of people in Arthur's trip plus all the guards, he consumed hundreds of kilograms of food every day.

In addition to the small amount of staple food he carried, such as potatoes and flour, Arthur's main meal was usually roast venison, beef and mutton, as well as some wild fruits in the forest.

Fortunately, the accompanying chef's skills are pretty good. Even if the ingredients are relatively simple, the food is still delicious.

Of course, the accompanying servants and guards were not treated so well. Most of their food is just simple barbecue, with occasional wild fruits as some staple food.

As for everyone's drinking water problem, there is a very clear stream near this forest villa.

Although the water flow is not too large, the water source is very clean and has not experienced any industrial pollution.

Soldiers usually get water directly and drink it, but Arthur needs to boil it before drinking it.

It is precisely because of this creek that washing Arthur and the two little guys is not a problem.

Otherwise, judging from the past hunting conditions, you can often only take a bath every few days during hunting, and you have to find a water source with a good flow of water.

That night, after a simple wash, Arthur sat with Anna and William and enjoyed the dinner carefully prepared by the chef.

The two little guys were still very excited about the hunting experience during the day and talked tirelessly about the white herd deer and other animals they hunted today.

"Father, when can I hunt by myself like you?" At this moment, William put down the knife and fork in his hand and asked curiously.

Today's hunting experience was certainly exciting, but for the two little guys, they were just held on horseback and experienced it all passively.

Witnessing it with your own eyes and experiencing it yourself are two completely different feelings, which also made William ask such curious questions.

"Wait until you perfect your marksmanship, William. Your shooting lesson hasn't started yet, and you can't even hold the gun steady, so how can you hunt?" Arthur said amusingly.

"It's a deal, father." William was not discouraged when he heard this, but said very expectantly.

For traditional nobles, having good marksmanship is an essential requirement. Especially for a noble like William who wants to become the ruler of the country, he must not only be familiar with the most mainstream weapons in the world, understand the structural principles and advantages and disadvantages of weapons, but also have a better understanding of military affairs. Military Academy It is also an institution where they must study.

If nothing else happens, regardless of William's academic performance before university, his final university choice must be the Royal Military College in Sydney.

It doesn't matter the three major departments of the Military Academy, but after graduating from the Royal Military Academy, William should have at least three years of service. Only by truly experiencing training in the military can he have a better understanding of the military and the underlying troops. .

The king of Australasia has great power, also in military terms.

Arthur did not want William to have any interest in military matters but no corresponding military capabilities.

After the war broke out, blind command of the war led to the defeat of the war.

To have power, you must have ability. If there is no military capability, Arthur will also consider reducing William's future military power and transfer the wartime command power back to the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, troops like the Guards Division will always be the last trump card in defending the royal family, and they will always be under the control of the royal family.

But if William's military talents are mediocre, then the Guards Division may be the only force he can personally command.

In the relaxed and pleasant conversation between the father and son, the slightly busy day passed quickly.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the injured white herd, Arthur decided to end the hunting trip and return to Sydney after staying in the forest for two days, that is, 1.

The purpose of this hunting was to relax and have fun, and it seems to have been quite successful so far.

At least Arthur himself is relaxed a lot now, and the two little guys don't have as much academic pressure as before.

It took almost a day to return to Sydney from the hunting place. It wasn't until the motorcade stopped at the entrance of Sydney Palace that Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are not many wild carnivores in Australasia, they do not pose any threat to Arthur's hunting team.

But this cannot stop the fact that Australasia has a large number of wild venomous snakes and insects. Especially in the deep mountains and old forests where hunting is done, venomous snakes and insects can be encountered from time to time.

Although Arthur is protected by the entire hunting team, given the current medical situation, if he is bitten by these snakes and insects, there is really no good way to save his life.

Therefore, in addition to enjoying the process of hunting, Arthur is also very concerned about snakes and insects that may be hiding in the dark.

Fortunately, every hunting trip goes smoothly. Even if there are snakes and insects occasionally, they will escape in a hurry due to the attack of large troops. new

There are few wild animals that are not afraid of people. Facing huge strange "animals" that they have not seen before, these snakes, insects and other animals will also feel scared.

As early as when hunting, the news that Arthur had successfully captured a white herd deer had been released by newspapers, and had already attracted the attention of many media and people.

Even many media in Europe have sent inquiries to Arthur, wanting to get first-hand information on this matter.

Although the religious overtones in Europe are no longer what they used to be, hunting a pure wild white herd is definitely something worth remembering and publicizing.

Although the development of science has led to many things that can be explained by science, the importance and legend of God have been downplayed.

But when something surprising happens, people still habitually use miracles to explain it.

The influence of thousands of years of religion cannot be eliminated in a short time. Even in later generations more than 100 years later, don’t there still be a large number of religious believers?

Not to mention the current era when technology has just begun to develop and most technologies have not yet been demonstrated and born.

In Australasia, Arthur has been praised as the son of God. It is generally believed that Arthur was recognized by God and was sent to Australasia by God to help build Australasia into a prosperous place. people.

Combined with Arthur's achievements over the past ten years, Arthur's popularity and support among the people have increased.

new

If people's attitude towards Arthur was widely recognized and supported before, now it is extremely fanatical and highly sought after.

It's a pity that we are not in the Middle Ages now, otherwise the publicity of such deeds, coupled with the live wild white herd, would directly make Arthur more divine.

When the convoy arrived at the Sydney Palace, a large crowd of people had already gathered outside the Sydney Palace. Firstly, they wanted to see the wild white herds with their own eyes. Secondly, they wanted to greet Arthur in person and woo this Australasian visitor. It is said that he is already a great monarch, although there is only this one monarch in the history of Australasia.

It's a pity that the white herd was well protected, and people only caught a glimpse of it, and then disappeared from people's sight.

However, to everyone's delight, the palace guards quickly sent word that Arthur had decided to display the white reindeer at the Royal Sydney Zoo starting in three days.

And during the white reindeer exhibition, the Royal Sydney Zoo no longer has a viewing time limit, and you can go to the zoo to buy tickets seven days a week.

Even tickets to the Royal Sydney Zoo are discounted for Australasians. As long as you have the identity and proof of legal Australasian citizenship, you can enjoy a 30% discount on Royal Zoo tickets.

In fact, tickets to the Royal Zoo are not very profitable in the first place. Even with the popularity brought by the white herd deer, the daily ticket price will increase several times at most. It is hard to say whether it can reach 10,000 Australian dollars.

Since you can't make any money, it's better to give Australasians some actual discounts and increase their favorability again.

You know, after the news that Arthur hunted a white herd spreads to Europe, it will inevitably attract a group of European tourists and media.

Australasians can get discounts on tickets to the zoo, which will also give people in Australasia a sense of national pride.

Even when facing people in Europe, the Australasian nation has an advantage. This is a reflection of national pride.

And Arthur, who single-handedly contributed to this situation and made Australasians better than Europeans in some positions, is bound to be sought after by Australasians.

National pride is very important to the development of a country, and even determines whether a country can develop well.

Let me ask, how can a nation push its own country to surpass other countries if it has no self-confidence when facing other nations?

Let me ask again, how can a country become stronger if it not only does not encourage its own nation to cultivate a sense of pride, but instead tramples on its own nation and pursues and wins over the nations of other countries?

The development of a country is closely related to its national pride. Only when a country develops and becomes stronger and has sufficient confidence can it be able to protect its own nation and make people feel proud.

In one sentence, my country can firmly protect me, but your country cannot. This is why I am proud.

But if a country deliberately praises other ethnic groups and ignores the feelings of its own ethnic group. How can we have the confidence to develop our own country if our nation has nowhere to complain when it has been wronged?

The current state of Australasia is that the country sincerely protects the people and pays practical attention to the interests of the people.

The people also sincerely and enthusiastically support the government and do their best to make the beautiful country they live in stronger.

Because Australasians all know that the motherland they have tried their best to develop will also do their best to protect themselves and their interests.

As long as the people and the country both prosper and suffer, then the people and the country are invincible.

After three days of treatment at the Sydney Palace Private Hospital, the deer, named Xiaobai by Anna, was released at the Royal Sydney Zoo.

As early as during the treatment, Arthur's mother Princess Louise, Queen Mary, and the two little guys all went to visit Xiaobai from time to time, firstly to satisfy their curiosity, and secondly to get acquainted with such a furry and pure white animal. Animals are very affectionate.

Although several people were a little reluctant to see Arthur send Xiaobai to the Royal Zoo, they also knew that instead of letting the royal family watch it alone in Sydney Palace, it would be better for people across the country and even the world to watch it, which would not only increase Arthur's legend, It can also demonstrate the generosity of the Australasian royal family to the outside world.

After all, what the Australasian royal family wants is long-term rule, and the royal family's reputation is far more important than the royal family's interests.

During these three days, Victoria Newspaper and Australasian Daily News were the only media and newspapers in Australasia that had access to Xiaobai.

The two newspapers also used news agencies to report the legendary process of Arthur's hunting of Xiaobai, and even rarely included Xiaobai's photo in the newspaper.

This is like hunger marketing, sending Xiaobai directly to the Royal Zoo. Maybe people don't expect so much from Xiaobai.

After three days of healing, on the day Xiaobai entered the Royal Zoo, the tickets for the zoo were quickly sold out. Even people gathered at the entrance of the zoo were clamoring for the zoo to pre-sell tickets for the next day.

You know, zoo tickets are basically non-refundable. This also means that after people buy tickets, if something unexpected happens the next day, they may lose a lot of money.

Although the zoo's tickets are worth only 0.35 Australian dollars after discounts, only a little more than two days' wages for people in Australasia.

But this does not mean that ticket prices are not expensive. Even if converted to future generations, if the per capita income is calculated as 5,000 per month or 60,000 per year, the price of a ticket to something like the Royal Zoo will be around 350 yuan.

For ordinary people, they can afford to buy a 350 yuan zoo ticket, but they are not willing to buy it in advance through pre-sale.

From this we can also see how popular Australasian people are now for Xiaobai. If it weren't for the fact that there is only one such rare white herd found in Australasia, Arthur would even have plans to list it as a national treasure of Australasia.

In fact, Arthur's previous plan to collect endangered animals and plants in advance had already been implemented after Butler Kent returned to the palace.

Discussions are already underway with some countries in East Asia and some countries in Europe. If the progress goes smoothly, it can be purchased and shipped back to Australasia within one to two months.

The first batch of rare wildlife purchased included Caribbean monk seals, Mexican grizzly bears, black bear warblers, Kenai mountain wolves, Wake Island rails, etc.

These are all wild animals that became extinct in the 20th century, and their preciousness is self-evident.

Of course, it is only the early 20th century, and although many of these animals have declined sharply, you can still find them if you look carefully.

Arthur's goal is to establish a museum of endangered animals in Australasia. When these animals become extinct elsewhere, the only remaining animal in Australasia will be the scorpion daddy.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
