After listening to Arthur's speech, the surrounding crowd instantly erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause, and Martin and Henries were no exception.

The people of this era naturally did not know how to draw flatbread, and unconsciously, they were also eating Arthur's painted flatbread with reason and gratitude.

However, Arthur does have the ability to achieve everything he has planned, and the pie is about to become a reality.

"Guys, I know that many of you are running for election without a very clear purpose for running. Perhaps, like Martin, he wants to better participate in the development and construction of the country, and improve the living standards and economic income of all our compatriots. Some, like Henris, have seen the miserable situation of the poor at the bottom of the country and want to make efforts and changes for it. Whatever your intentions, the House of Commons is a very important and powerful position, and I hope that when you are elected, you will not forget your original intention to work for the good of the country, the government and all Australians. Of course, don't be discouraged if you lose the election, there will be an election every two years, and as long as you learn from experience and lessons, you will always succeed. Arthur solemnly looked at the crowd of onlookers and said.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A group of people seemed to have a tacit understanding, and responded to Arthur very neatly.

"Of course, it is not necessary to become a member of parliament of the country in order to contribute to the development and construction of the country. Even as a civilian, as long as everyone works hard and obeys the law, they are contributing to the development and construction of the country, isn't it? As long as all Australians are united, Australia is the greatest country and Australians are the greatest nation. Arthur said with a smile.

This slightly nationalistic statement was welcomed and respected by all Australians.

Although Australians are a new people born out of a mix of Western immigrants and Aboriginal people, this does not mean that Australians consider themselves inferior.

What Australia has been lacking is an ambitious leader, and now that Arthur is here, Australians will be in their own hands.

Of course, none of this can be done by your participation and change alone. The royal family and the government must make changes accordingly, so that the country can become stronger and the people's living standards can be greatly improved. Arthur threw out the last killer weapon and said loudly: "So, as your monarch, after learning that there are still many poor people in Australia who cannot afford to go to school, I have decided to take action: from now on, the royal family will establish a royal relief committee, select a group of officials loyal to the royal family and the people, and I will personally supervise it, responsible for helping Australians who cannot afford to see a doctor and go to school at a low income." I will fund the activities of the Rescue Committee with £5 million and have pledged to allocate at least £1 million a year to the Rescue Committee. I want Australians to be able to live without the cold, hunger, sickness, clothing, food, sickness, and school. Although the rise of Australia seems to be an empty phrase at the moment, I am still willing to work hard for it, all Australians, are you willing to work with your duke to build this great country, so that Australians and Australia can stand at the top of this world? ”

Arthur's words can be described as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. In a country with a per capita income of less than £10 a year, Arthur's £5 million investment is definitely a huge sum.

More importantly, what Arthur said is that in the eyes of Australians, Arthur is definitely a monarch who respects and loves all Australians, and is the perfect duke in the hearts of Australians.

"Yes! Willing! ”

All of a sudden, the cheers of the crowd shattered through the sky, making it a little difficult to tell whether this was the scene of the election in the House of Commons or Arthur's speech.

The crowd's cheers then gradually changed to "Long live His Royal Highness the Duke!" Long live Australia! ”。

The Duke in front and Australia in the back is enough to see how much these Australians love their monarch, even if Arthur has only been crowned for a few months.

Before he knew it, Arthur's popularity among the people in Australia had far surpassed that of the prime ministers of the original colonies, which are now the governors of several states.

This is a good thing for the development of Australia, after all, the development of a country only needs one voice, and with Arthur having the foresight of many years of posterity, Australians do not need to come out and speak out against it.

"All right, gentlemen, go ahead with your election! When the House of Commons officially announces the election, I look forward to some of you becoming full-fledged members of the country. Arthur was pleased with the crowd's reaction, and to the cheers of the crowd, Arthur left the house.

It was only after a long time that the crowd gradually returned to order and proceeded, and the election, which was supposed to go smoothly.

Compared with before, the enthusiasm of the crowd to participate in the election and voting has increased significantly, and everyone has a smile of excitement and excitement on their faces, which is enough to see that Arthur's speech just now is indeed a success.

25 May 1900, Sydney, New South Wales House.

After a short and long seven-day election day, the first election to the Australian House of Commons was finally completed relatively successfully.

However, because Arthur's speech was disseminated by newspapers throughout Australia, the enthusiasm of all Australians to participate in the election and vote has increased significantly, and the data is more difficult to count than expected.

With a large number of officials working overtime for several days, the final results of the first election to the House of Commons have finally been counted.

Today is May 25, and the planned election results will be announced.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the entrance of the state house was already crowded with people waiting to announce the results, and as time went by, the crowd continued to increase rapidly, and even caused the road in front of the state house to be slightly blocked.

Everyone is looking forward to the final list of parliamentarians, even if many people know that there is a high probability that they will lose the election, but they will still hold a little luck, in case Lady Luck favors them extra today?

At eight o'clock in the morning, the doors of the state house finally opened.

Two guards walked out of the door with a list in their hands, looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "Everyone, the results of the election are here, and when I have read all the names, someone from the city will go and inform every councillor who has won the election." For now, please be quiet so that everyone can hear the names of all the councillors. ”
