Chapter 719 A good way to solve the age problem

After determining the areas they had acquired, the relationship between Britain, France and Australia also became harmonious. ✎♦

Now the three countries all have the same goal, which is to steadily create a new country within the scope of their own strength, and then let this new country bring sufficient benefits to themselves.

In the choice of government system for the new countries, Britain and Australasia naturally chose monarchy, while the French firmly chose republic.

This is determined based on the respective political systems of Britain, France and Australia. It is impossible for the three countries to choose a political system that is opposite to their own. Isn't this just causing trouble for themselves?

Because the French have supported the Lone Star Republic, this also means that the remaining territory of the French will be split into two countries.

This was a condition in exchange for splitting the British region in half, and the French would naturally not refuse.

After all, the population of Texas already exceeds 5 million, and compared with the area obtained by Australasia, the area obtained by France is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, but the population and economy are much better.

The population sizes of Texas and California are not much different, but the remaining states in the West are only Washington, Nebraska and Colorado with populations over one million, and the rest are all barren areas with a population of hundreds of thousands. .

Looking at the areas acquired by the French, they are all developed eastern areas with a population of one million or even more than 2 million.

The least populous among them should be Arkansas, but Arkansas also has a population of 1.82 million. The horizontal comparison far exceeds the economic value of the area obtained by Australasia.

This is also the real reason why Australasia gained at least one-third of the United States, and Britain and France still would not object.

After the peace talks, Prime Minister Raul quickly reported to Arthur the areas acquired in Australasia.

The most important thing for the government next is to discuss how to deal with so many areas.

Although many areas have been acquired, except for California, other areas in the continental United States can only be described as barren.

Each region covers an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, with a population of only hundreds of thousands or millions. This is much worse than Australasia, which is vast and sparsely populated.

Arthur's plan for these lands was that California would be the main body, forming a kingdom alone or with several nearby states.

The remaining northwestern states would be merged together to form a large but sparsely populated kingdom.

Parts of the Middle East would be given to George Smith Patton Jr. to build his version of America.

After all, Patton was the first in the United States to surrender to Australasia, so the preferential treatment he deserved was definitely indispensable.

Of course, the country founded by Patton could not nominally inherit the original United States, and there could be no successors to the United States in any part of the United States.

This is also the way that Britain, France and Australia negotiated to rule the United States. For a country of immigrants like the United States, it is simply impossible to expect the American people to sing "The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are here" after the demise of the United States.

For such an immigrant country, if the country is gone, it will really be gone. People will quickly adapt to the new country unless the new country harms their own interests.

In other words, as long as the interests are consistent, the name of the country is not actually important.

They can accept immigration from their original country to the United States, and they can naturally accept joining a new country after the demise of the United States.

Of course, the premise is that the United States is completely destroyed.

If there are still countries that continue to exist in the name of the United States, it is inevitable that unstable elements will disrupt the order in the American region in the name of this country.

This is something that the UK, France and Australia cannot tolerate and must absolutely put an end to.

In this way, the division of these areas becomes a little simpler.

California itself has the largest population among the Australasian regions, and the gap with other states is already huge.

In order to be fair to his two sons, the land area of ​​​​the state created by California would not be too large.

Among the many plans, Arthur chose the plan to unite California and Nevada to establish the Kingdom of California.

The new kingdom in the north naturally consisted of Washington and Oregon, plus Idaho, which was the scope of another kingdom originally planned by Arthur.

But now, Australasia has gained much more area, and it is naturally impossible to leave all the remaining areas to Barton.

It is worth mentioning that the later grain-producing states of the United States were basically in the middle, especially the north-central region headed by Montana and Wyoming.

After careful consideration, Arthur decided to assign Montana and Wyoming to another new kingdom, so that this kingdom with a relatively disadvantaged population could have certain advantages in agriculture.

This can be regarded as Arthur's good intentions. As his own son, Arthur didn't want to hear comments about his own favoritism.

It is better to try to equalize the potential of the two kingdoms so that the two little guys will not have any complaints in the future.

As a result, the population of the Kingdom of California remains at more than 5 million, and the population of the other kingdom is also about 3.5 million.

Although there is still a big gap in population, it can be made up in terms of land area and agricultural potential, and overall the gap is pretty good.

That leaves Barton with only the Dakotas, Nebraska, Colorado and Utah.

If you have a map, you can see that the area controlled by Barton looks like an inverted L, and the southeast corner of the New Kingdom in the northwest is exactly at the corner of this L.

This was also a back-up reserved by Arthur to ensure that the area controlled by Barton would not escape Australasia's control.

According to the agreement between Britain, France and Australia, the area controlled by Barton also falls within the sphere of influence of Australasia.

Although Arthur did not intend to annex these areas, he could not let these areas fall into the arms of the enemy.

The best way is to control indirectly and then let these areas generate sufficient benefits for themselves.

After determining the specific scope of the three new countries, the corresponding country names and the formation of the government were left to the cabinet government to think about.

These should theoretically be finalized within a month, and then three countries should be established in sequence as soon as this year.

The most troublesome thing for Arthur now is that except for William, the remaining three sons, Peter and George, are not yet adults.

William is the heir to the throne and must not be moved. It is too early for the remaining two little guys to be left alone.

This also made the two soon-to-be-established kingdoms very difficult. Arthur did not want to take advantage of others, so he could only find a way to perfectly solve the problem of the two little guys being too young.

After thinking about it again and again, he still couldn't find a solution. Arthur simply handed over the problem directly to the cabinet government and brainstormed a solution.

Precisely because it was Arthur's order, everyone in the cabinet took it seriously. After a cabinet meeting, everyone in the cabinet came up with a preliminary solution.

The first method is to let Arthur serve as the king of these two countries, and then divide the two little guys out when they are old enough.

The second method is to divide the two little guys as usual, but just let the two little guys bear the name of the king.

They will remain in Australasia to grow and learn until they reach adulthood and return to their homeland.

While they were growing up, the administrative powers of the two new kingdoms were temporarily vested in their respective governments.

In order to keep the development of these two kingdoms from going off track, their governments must be strictly controlled by Australasia.

In layman's terms, the principles are the same. For the time being, the Australasian government is in charge of these two countries for them, and will take control of the rights when they reach adulthood.

But this is indeed the best way. Compared to a government composed of Americans who cannot control it, with Arthur in charge, the Australasian government is undoubtedly trustworthy.

Anyway, in just a few years, a few little guys can receive a more adequate education in Australasia. With Arthur's help, there will definitely not be much problem in controlling power in the future.

As for what happens after they take power, that's not something Arthur can worry about.

Under Arthur's careful education, if they are still unable to control their country, it can only be said that they do not have the ability to become monarchs. Perhaps being a noble is the best choice.

Of course, Arthur believed that this situation would rarely happen. Not to mention anything else, the complexity of the education these little guys received and the practical ability that Arthur had always emphasized determined that they would not have any big problems.

When they were almost adults, Arthur would enlist them into the Guards. In the future, they will also be given a small army of guards as their own bodyguards, so there is no problem in protecting their personal safety.

Arthur hesitated between the two methods for a while, and finally decided to choose the second method.

Let the two little guys ascend to the throne smoothly first, and then let their government take charge of government affairs for a while.

Anyway, with the help of Australasia, there is no need to worry about the two little guys losing their rights in the future.

As for the remaining republics controlled by Barton, Arthur didn't need to worry.

Patton had a regiment of troops in his hands, and Arthur planned to hand over the captured 7th Division to Patton's charge.

As a result, Patton had more than 10,000 troops, which was certainly enough to manage his own territory.

Of course, for the security of the two new kingdoms and to deter Patton and some forces in the United States, it is still necessary for the Australasian army to be stationed in the United States in a short period of time.

At least around Los Angeles and San Francisco, there still needs to be adequate defense.

This is also the reason why Arthur believes that the two little guys will not lose their power. With the army here, who without eyesight would challenge the majesty of Australasia?
