Chapter 689 Prince William of New Zealand (14 more)

Now that it is confirmed that William is the next king, Arthur will naturally not hesitate about the identity of the crown prince.

The most important thing at present is to give William the title and title he deserves, so as to prevent the competition for the throne from causing problems to the harmony within the royal family.

This is not Arthur's guess out of thin air, but the result and experience given to Arthur by the long history.

William and the others seem to be harmonious now, but who can guarantee that no one will be tempted by the throne?

Only by determining the heir to the royal family as soon as possible and solving this problem before a few little guys start fighting on their own can the royal family become stable.

Only when the royal family is stable can the government and country be stable. For a monarchy, what kills it may not be external enemies, but internal problems that usually go unnoticed.

1. After a short period of preparation, Arthur held an enfeoffment ceremony at St. Arthur Castle and officially announced several new titles.

First, William, as the heir to the throne, was ennobled by Arthur as Prince of New Zealand and Duke of Auckland.

Auckland is the second largest city in Northern New Zealand and a very important seaport city in New Zealand.

The title of Duke of Auckland is definitely relatively high in the entire Australasian aristocratic system, not to mention the addition of the Prince of New Zealand.

However, compared to the Duke of Auckland, the Prince of New Zealand has more of a title in name only.

According to the provisions of the constitution revised by Arthur, the Prince of New Zealand is an honorary title and will not possess any legal territory and has no jurisdiction over New Zealand.

But at the same time, the Prince of New Zealand will be the legal title of each heir to the throne, which cannot be inherited and can only be appointed by the King of Australasia.

The Prince of New Zealand is just like the Prince of Wales in the UK. He is more of a symbol of the heir to the throne and at the same time enhances the status of the heir to the throne.

But the Prince of Wales cannot rule Wales any more than the Prince of New Zealand can rule New Zealand.

Even under Australasia's new aristocratic system, William the Duke of Auckland was unable to govern and rule Auckland.

But his legal title allows him to receive 1% of the total annual financial revenue of the city of Auckland. This is the only right that a legal title has compared to an honorary title.

In addition, Arthur also entrusted William with thousands of acres of land in Porto and Dargaville on the Auckland Peninsula in the north of Auckland. This was the land that he could actually control and could carry out any legal activities, including building his own castle. Develop your own economic projects and more.

William, who had obtained various titles and territories, officially became a noble with territories at this time.

In official Australasian government documents, William's full title is: The Honorable Prince William, by the grace of God, Prince of New Zealand, Duke of Auckland and Earl of Poteau and Dargaville.

Also knighted were Peter and George.

William was born at the age of 18. Peter and George are relatively young, with Peter being born between 1 and 13 years old. The youngest George was born at the age of 1 and was less than 9 years old.

Originally, Arthur planned to give them titles after they came of age, but after thinking about it, he decided to give them titles together when he was giving William titles this time, and decided on the heir to the throne who had not been decided yet.

As the heir to the throne, William was a prince, and the remaining Peter and George could only be dukes.

Arthur did not favor one over the other in this regard. Peter was entrusted with the title of Duke of Darwin, and George was entrusted with the title of Duke of Albany. Both were small and medium-sized cities with a population of several hundred thousand.

According to the actual situation, the development potential of Auckland, Darwin and Albany is not much different, and the population size is not much different. This also means that the income that the three of them receive from their titles is not much different.

There is also a large amount of land near Darwin and Albany. Arthur also awarded thousands of acres of land to George and Peter. Whether the construction can be successful depends on them.

In recent days, the news of the birth of a new prince and two dukes in Australasia has instantly become the focus of public discussion.

However, this is a normal thing in a monarchy country. No one will object. Everyone just admires and recognizes it. After all, the royal family's contribution to the people is enough for them to enjoy a prosperous and wealthy life.

After enfeoffing a few little ones, the top princes and dukes in the Australasian aristocratic system have been selected, so that the entire aristocratic system will not look so thin.

But I have to admit that being born in a monarchy is everything. The title of dukedom, which ordinary people can't reach after a lifetime of hard work, is something that royal family members such as William Peter and George can obtain at birth.

After enfeoffing a few little guys, Arthur also turned his attention back to the domestic cabinet elections, waiting for the new cabinet government to be announced.

The current population of Australasia has exceeded 35 million people, and the next step of the government's work is extremely important.

We don’t know how long the economic crisis will last, which also means that the best time for Australasia’s development may be running out.

If we can seize this opportunity, after the economic crisis, Australasia's comprehensive strength can reach the top three in the world.

But if we fail to seize this opportunity, we may have to wait and see if there will be some changes in the next war.

Because of this, the current Australasian government needs more fresh blood to create and enact more pro-development policies to push the country forward.

After more than a month of preparations and elections, finally on January 1, the list of Australasia's seventh cabinet government was delivered to Arthur.

Australasia's cabinet election system is developing in an increasingly democratic direction, which has also led to an increasing number of people being able to stand for election to cabinet members.

More people running for election also means that it is more difficult to be re-elected. After all, it is not easy to obtain sufficient political achievements.

In the environment of stable development of the government, most officials must create some achievements of their own if they want to achieve sufficient political achievements.

But it's clear that some people in the government are more conservative. They would rather not make mistakes in their political careers, even if they cannot achieve higher political achievements, than make mistakes that will lead to the end of their political careers.

As these people stay in the cabinet government longer and longer, the cabinet government will become conservative and lose its pioneering spirit.

This is what Arthur does not want to see, and it is also the reason why many new bloods have gradually joined the cabinet government.

Compared with the sixth term, the list of the seventh cabinet government has changed a lot. Many cabinet members have not been successfully re-elected and have no choice but to leave the highest political stage.

However, they are not without hope of competing for positions such as governor and mayor. Compared with the cabinet departments of the Royal Government, the competitiveness of governors and mayors is relatively low.

Especially for states and cities with relatively small populations, it is not difficult to compete for governors and mayors with a luxurious resume of cabinet government.

Among the more conservative officials mentioned earlier, Prime Minister Roger is actually the first to bear the brunt.

It’s not that Prime Minister Roger is bad. If you were in an era of relatively peaceful development and faced a conservative monarch, a candidate like Prime Minister Roger would be the best choice, and it could even create a good story between the monarch and his ministers.

But it is a pity that for today's Australasia, only with more pioneering spirit can the country develop better, and Arthur cannot be just a conservative king.

It is for this reason that the post of Prime Minister of the new cabinet government was taken by Raul Plange.

Compared to Prime Minister Roger, Raul Plange was born in the military and had a more radical attitude in some aspects, which was in line with Arthur's expectations and plans.

After all, after the economic crisis, the world situation will become even more chaotic, and peace will no longer be maintained for too long.

Judging from the current chaotic situation in Germany and the United States, Arthur would not be surprised if a war broke out this year. This is the real reason why military figures like Prime Minister Raul came to power.

Because this means that Arthur will pay more attention to the development of the military in the next few years while maintaining normal national development.

The construction of national industry and economy is important, but without corresponding military strength as a trump card, it will become fat in the eyes of other military powers.

Arthur will naturally not allow Australasia to become fat, so he can only let Australasia become a hunter in the forest and a hunter in the world order.

If the position of Prime Minister is a military radical like Raul Plange, then the position of Deputy Prime Minister will naturally be chosen by a relatively conservative Daize Watson.

Deputy Prime Minister Dai Ze is the foreign minister of West Asia. Compared with the military, he is relatively conservative, at least not so radical. It is the best choice to calm down the mood of more conservative officials.

In terms of political choices, we still need to be more balanced. Although we need to be relatively more radical, we should not allow Australasia to become extreme.

After all, the ending of William II being sidelined is still vivid in his mind. Even if Arthur enjoys a high reputation, he cannot allow the military to grow in power.

Even if Arthur can control it, future William or future monarchs may not be able to control it.

For a qualified monarch, maintaining political balance is the most important thing, even if some benefits are lost for this.

Making Daze deputy prime minister also sent a signal to the slightly more conservative faction that Arthur's emphasis on military and radical attitudes would not last long.

After all, according to the subtle rules of the Australasian cabinet government, the Minister of State is also the Deputy Prime Minister, and there is a high probability that he will be the Prime Minister of the next cabinet government.
