Chapter 637 Moving the capital and rising

As we all know, these 16 people vote for a total of 100% of all cabinet positions in Australasia.

The vote on whether to move the capital now was also held quickly. The final result did not surprise Arthur. The faction in favor of moving the capital, headed by Prime Minister Roger, accounted for more than ten people. This also meant that the capital should be moved to St. Petersburg immediately. Atherburg has become a reality.

Looking at the cabinet officials, Arthur smiled and said: "Then according to the voting results, starting from today, the plan to move the capital will be launched. I hope that our capital relocation can be successfully completed before the start of Christmas."

The preparations for moving the capital have already been completed. All that needs to be done now is to move the functional agencies of various government departments to the new capital and take away the corresponding information and documents, etc.

Although it does not seem complicated, after all, it is the relocation of the functional agencies of the entire national government. Even the information and documents accumulated by the government must be treated with caution.

If these documents and information are leaked, it will be a danger to national security, as well as to the cabinet government and this capital relocation.

It will take more than ten months to complete the government's relocation, which is completely enough for Australasia, which currently has relatively developed transportation.

Of course, this means that Arthur will bid farewell to Sydney, where he has lived for more than 20 years, and move to St. Arthur's Castle with his family, where he will start his new ruling career.

1. After completing the preparatory work, the Australasian government officially issued a notice that starting from February 15, Sydney will no longer be the capital of Australasia, and St. Arthur's Castle will replace Sydney.

At the same time, the vast majority of government departments will complete their relocation in the shortest possible time, and the royal palace and government administrative agencies, which represent the center of state power, will all be relocated to St. Arthur Castle.

This notice has a significant impact on the people in Australasia. Although previous announcements had made it clear that Sydney would not be the capital for long, no one expected it to be so soon.

However, at this time, the people had already accepted the fact that Sydney was not the capital. Many companies had already established branches in St. Arthur's Castle, and even moved their headquarters directly to St. Arthur's Castle. This shows that these companies have great expectations for the new city. capital's attention.

In order to show his support and recognition for the relocation of the capital, Arthur took his family on a grand relocation on February 1, taking a special train from Sydney directly to St. Arthur's Castle, and living in St. Arthur's Castle. New palace.

The name of this new palace is the Palace of All Nations. After all, this is a super large palace rich in cultural characteristics of various regions and countries. It is not an exaggeration to call it the Palace of All Nations.

Sydney Palace will remain as Arthur's property, and he will be able to live in Sydney Palace when he travels to Sydney in the future.

There are countless palaces and manors of European nobles. There are not many monarchs like Arthur who only have two formal palaces, but these two palaces are more luxurious than the last.

The construction cost of the Palace of Nations alone is probably beyond the reach of most European nobles. Only those monarchs with rich foundations or with actual power in their hands can afford such huge construction costs.

There is only a guard team and a small number of servants left in the Sydney Palace, responsible for protecting the safety of the Sydney Palace and cleaning the palace at the same time.

Maybe Arthur will come back to live there some time, but it is still necessary to maintain the hygiene of the palace.

Although the royal family of Australasia was not extravagant, it still employed hundreds of servants during its long development life.

The new palace is even more exaggerated. The number of chefs alone exceeds 30, and you can eat exquisite food from Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.

After Arthur moved to the Palais des Nations, the number of guards at the Palais des Nations also increased dramatically, directly exceeding 3,600.

In addition, the First Guards Division also followed to the vicinity of the new palace, responsible for protecting the safety of Arthur and the entire palace.

The Second Guards Division is still in Sydney. After all, a protective force of more than 10,000 people is enough, and no country can openly attack the capital of Australasia.

As Arthur's eldest son and daughter, Prince William and Princess Anna have both reached the age of royal appearance, one is tall and mighty, and the other is graceful.

Arthur still attaches great importance to the education of royal members, and is even choosing the army for William to serve in.

Yes, basically as long as you are a prince of Australasia, it is impossible to avoid the process of serving in the military.

There are many benefits to having your son serve in the army, such as it can further encourage people to join the army.

In short, if the king's sons have joined the army, what reason do ordinary people have to refuse to join the army?

What's more, the wages and benefits of the Australasian army are indeed good. Although the army's recruitment is not large, it is full every time.

If Australasia really wants to expand its military without limit, conservative estimates suggest that the number of troops can easily expand to more than 2 million.

If some more extreme strategies are adopted, the number of troops can even approach 3 million, barely reaching the size of the main army of the countries that participated in World War I.

But this situation will basically not happen in Australasia, at least until the population does not reach Arthur's expectations, even during war, the size of the army will not expand to such an exaggerated degree.

After all, Australasia also has two partners, the Philippines and the United Sultanate of Kalimantan. They can also provide millions of cannon fodder, and Australasians do not need to work hard and die.

If World War II broke out ten years later, Arthur's estimate of Australasia's recruitment quota would be about 1 million to 1.5 million.

The population at that time should be able to exceed 35 million, and may even approach 40 million. Although it is a bit of a burden to recruit an army of 1.5 million people for a population of 40 million, the country can still bear it.

In addition to calling on the people to actively join the army, allowing princes to enter the army for training can also better train them.

In particular, the future heir to the throne can continue to get to know the middle and high-level people in the army through the opportunity of experience in the army, which will help them rule the country in the future.

In fact, it is not difficult for Arthur to choose to serve in the army. Whether it is the regular army or the Guards, they can meet Arthur's requirements.

What Arthur found most difficult to decide was actually the titles given to these princes and princesses.

Especially princes like William and Peter are destined to obtain their own titles when they reach adulthood.

However, the only titles currently held by Australasia are the Dukes of Australia and New Zealand, so we cannot entrust these two titles to them.

This is not to say that Arthur is reluctant to part with it, but to separate the dukedoms of Australia and New Zealand separately will cause damage to the unity of Australasia.

Even if it is enfeoffed, it can definitely only be enfeoffed to the future heir to the throne, and such a dukedom will be used as a symbol of the heir to the throne of Australasia.

After thinking for a moment, Arthur decided to create some new titles and entrust them to his children just like the new nobles.

Anyway, the title of the kingdom of Australasia was also created by Arthur himself. As long as the country is strong and recognized by the European royal family, the title created by Arthur himself is still orthodox and will also be recognized.

As descendants of Arthur, princes like William and Peter, the titles they can obtain must be the duke level.

This is also the most basic difference that blood brings to people. The high-level nobility that ordinary people cannot achieve in a lifetime of hard work is a privilege that some people are born with.

After settling his mother, Princess Louise, Arthur took Queen Mary and a few little ones out to inspect the situation around St. Arthur's Castle.

They say they are little ones, but the youngest George is already six years old. At this time, he is a lively and naughty age. The one who is chattering behind Arthur is also the boldest among the princes.

Although Peter, who was ten years old, also wanted to play with his younger brother, he was glared at by William next to him, so he could only follow William obediently, watching George's wanton play with envy.

As Arthur's eldest son, William had matured a lot at this time. He followed Arthur quietly, waiting for Arthur's questions at any time.

Queen Mary, who was walking behind a few people, looked at the people in front with a happy face. She was surrounded by a team of servants and guards, protecting the safety of the royal family at all times.

"Arthur." After a while, Queen Mary finally stepped forward and reminded with a smile: "It's getting late, the little ones should be hungry."

Looking at the luxurious watch handmade by the royal watchmaker on his wrist, Arthur nodded and told the servant: "Then prepare lunch here. The air here happens to be good."

Arthur's instructions were like an imperial edict, and the guards and servants hurriedly took action to prepare a sumptuous lunch for the royal family.

The guards go to the outermost part of the team to guard and provide protection.

The Capital Territory is still too big, and because it has not been developed much before, wild animals can be seen almost everywhere.

In addition to the reduction in the number of built cities and developed areas, there are still many wild animals in the inaccessible suburbs where Arthur and his team came.

Looking at a hare passing in front of him, Arthur suddenly felt itchy in his hands. He smiled at William and Peter and said, "You two little guys, come with me."

Upon hearing this, William and Peter immediately followed Arthur forward.

Hunting is a leisure time pastime for nobles, and it is no exception for the Arthur family.

Although Arthur's hunting skills were a novice at the beginning, after all, he had been king for more than 20 years, and he had already developed relatively skilled hunting skills during his long career as king, as well as his shooting skills that were constantly praised.

Although it is not as good as excellent hunters and elite soldiers, it is enough for my own entertainment. Hunting a prey in Australasia, where there are many prey, is not a problem at all.

It is precisely because of Arthur's words and deeds and influence that several little guys are more interested in hunting. Even Peter, who is over ten years old, has already started practicing his own marksmanship.

Riding and marksmanship are both very handy for William and Peter. This is included in the traditional aristocratic education. In an environment like Australasia, learning to hunt is also a must.
