Chapter 613 Arrival of George’s family

Another thing that gave Arthur a headache was the handling of the Greek royal family that had been discussed with the British before.

As a matter of fact, it would be good for Arthur to support George II to regain the throne of Greece.

After all, George II was Arthur's brother-in-law, and his relationship with Arthur was theoretically relatively close.

If we can gain the support of George II by restoring the Greek monarchy, it will be very helpful to Arthur's status in Europe. After all, he can be regarded as an orthodox king.

But the question is, how can we restore monarchy to Greece? You know, the establishment of the Second Greek Republic did not have many human intervention factors.

In other words, George II was overthrown by Greek public opinion. Although much of the blame lies with Greece's two previous monarchs, George II's father and brother.

But the problem is that these two people are now gone, and the Greeks can only blame George II.

With so many thoughts on his mind, Arthur finally decided to invite George II and his family to Australasia and discuss in person how to restore the Greek monarchy.

After receiving Arthur's invitation, George II readily agreed and immediately packed his bags and headed for Australasia.

Also delighted was Arthur's sister Charlotte. After all, I have been separated from my mother and brother for more than ten years, so it is impossible to say that I don't want to.

Especially Charlotte's mother, Princess Louise, who is already very old and rarely goes out. She has not seen Charlotte for ten years.

This can be regarded as the trouble of being a member of the royal family. Although he is naturally superior to others in terms of status and wealth, because of his status as a member of the royal family, he is not so arbitrary.

In particular, the previous monarchs in Greece changed frequently. In this case, it was naturally even less likely to have enough time to come to Australasia.

1. George II and his family successfully arrived in Sydney, Australasia, and received a grand reception from the Australasian government.

This can also be regarded as a signal sent by Australasia to the outside world. At least Australasia still recognizes the Greek royal family and king, and will not have any prejudice or neglect because George II was overthrown from the throne.

There is a huge difference in status between Arthur and George II now. It would be good if the government can receive them grandly. Naturally, Arthur cannot go to greet them in person.

George II also knew etiquette very well and went directly to Sydney Palace to meet Arthur and Princess Louise without rest.

In the banquet hall of Sydney Palace, Arthur successfully met his sister Charlotte and brother-in-law George II, accompanied by Queen Mary, Princess Louise, and William and several little guys.

After sending William and the others away and asking them to chat with their cousins, George II and Charlotte also came forward very wisely and saluted Arthur.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them saluted Princess Lewis. Although George II's title is King, after all, the throne has been abolished, and there is still the element of being begging for others as a junior, so it is appropriate to salute Princess Louise.

Princess Louis smiled and pulled the two of them up and asked them about their recent situation.

After receiving quite positive answers from the two of them, Princess Lewis nodded with satisfaction and gave Arthur the space to talk.

"Well, there is nothing to talk about today, just a simple lunch." Arthur smiled and said: "George, try the Australasian food. Charlotte, too, you haven't tasted Australasian food for a long time. Is it the authentic beef and mutton from West Asia? You can eat enough for today."

Australian beef and mutton are famous in Europe, and it is also one of the first choices of European nobles.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After successfully operating the Australian beef and mutton brand, the trade of whole cattle, sheep and beef and mutton has made Australasia very profitable.

Even in order to increase the popularity of Australian beef and mutton, the royal family's three meals a day are inseparable from Australian beef and mutton, but they will be cooked in different ways.

George II nodded slightly cautiously and began to taste the steak in front of him.

Although raw beef is indeed edible, Arthur still prefers medium rare. This also leads to the fact that the beef and mutton of the Australasian royal family are basically medium rare, and there are very few meats with obvious blood streaks.

Things were exactly as Arthur said. During the entire lunch, Arthur did not mention any government affairs, nor did he have any intention to actively help George II restore his country.

This also made George II see it and feel anxious in his heart. But there is no way. On such an occasion, George II cannot be rude or presumptuous.

After all, to put it bluntly, Arthur's attitude is very important whether his throne is restored or not. George II had already had contact with the British before, and he understood that Britain and Australasia had certain intentions in supporting his restoration.

But in the final analysis, George II now wants to beg others, and his attitude must be more respectful.

After a lunch, Arthur arranged for George II and his family to stay in the bedroom of Sydney Palace. There was a relatively independent set of rooms there, which was enough for George II and his family to live.

Seeing the exhaustion in their family's eyes, Arthur asked them to rest for a day and invite them to go out for fun tomorrow.

Arthur's indifferent attitude made George II a little uneasy and anxious. After entering the arranged room and making sure that there were no outsiders around, George II cautiously said to Charlotte: "Charlotte, do you think His Majesty Arthur will restore the throne?"

After all, the situation of the Greek royal family is still not good. Because of the previous two monarchs, the support of the Greek monarchy in the hearts of the Greek people has plummeted.

Even the restoration of the Greek monarchy more than ten years later was the result of the military's last resort in order to stabilize the situation in Greece after the coup.

Prior to this, no matter how chaotic the situation in Greece was, Greek political parties and people had no idea of ​​restoring the monarchy. This can already prove the current attitude of the Greeks to abandon the monarchy.

Without any support from the royalists, and without external support, it would be extremely difficult for George II to be restored, and there might even be no hope at all.

The current Greek political scene is actually very chaotic. This period should be one of the more chaotic periods in Greek history.

Due to the impact of European democracies and republican waves, the Greek republicans won the parliamentary struggle and successfully passed a republican resolution, changing the political system of the Kingdom of Greece to a republic and establishing the Second Greek Republic.

But the Greek republic is more like a result of conformity. Greek republicans have no ideas of their own or any political opinions.

What does that mean? A republic is a republic, but no one of the various republican parties can stand alone, and no party can truly establish a republican country and completely change Greece.

To put it simply, the current Second Greek Republic is more like a chaotic struggle between various parties.

These republicans were united when the monarchy was abolished, but faced with the temptation to control the entire republic, these republican parties were divided and fragmented.

The reason why Greece achieved the restoration of the monarchy in history is actually because during this very important period of industrialization, the Second Greek Republic did not make any achievements, and even caused the Greek economy to continue to be in a sluggish state, and suffered a rare economic crisis in decades. Great Depression.

To sum up the performance of the Second Greek Republic in one sentence, it was not as good as during the reign of the previous deposed Greek king.

George II also understood this truth, and he also knew that now should be the best time for restoration. After all, the residual heat of the monarchy has not dissipated, and the Greeks at this time should be able to accept the monarchy quickly.

If we wait until the Greeks are familiar with and accept the republican system before discussing restoration, it will probably be too late.

"Definitely, George. Arthur will not ignore us. Isn't this also the purpose of inviting you to Australasia?" Charlotte nodded vigorously and said comfortingly.

After hearing Charlotte's comfort, George II nodded in a relaxed manner, which barely comforted his impatient heart.

Taking a deep breath, he understood that coming to Australasia this time was the best opportunity to win Arthur's support. George II carefully thought about the situation in Greece and thought about the one who could best impress Arthur to support his restoration, and also try his best to win Arthur's support. A plan to protect themselves and Greece’s interests.
