Prime Minister Evan is a veteran politician who has ruled the colony of New South Wales for more than a decade, and his perspective on issues is much better than that of Henris, who was just an ordinary minor official in the city government.

Much like Arthur's thinking, Australia's current development centre is still on homegrown industrialization and other infrastructure.

Bringing New Guinea into its home turf now would only add to Australia's burden, and would not have much practical benefit.

It would be more economical for Australia to keep the colonies of New Guinea, to continue to oppress New Guinea and use the nearly 700,000 indigenous people as its free labor, while also concentrating on the development of the Australian mainland.

But Arthur is a monarch after all, and he can't jump out directly to discourage his subordinates. Therefore, Arthur's point of view, or the more correct point of view, is that it needs to be expressed by the other official, and Arthur only needs to agree.

Obviously, Prime Minister Evan still has some experience in this area, at least he knows what is the most correct choice for Australia right now, and he also knows what Arthur is likely to choose.

After Prime Minister Evan expressed his opinion, Arthur did not arbitrarily support someone's point of view, but smiled and said to everyone: "Since everyone only has these two ideas, then let everyone vote for these two ideas." We are a democratic government, and since we have disagreements, let's decide in a democratic way. ”

That being said, in reality smart people already know which point to support. Most people can see the difference in Arthur's attitude towards these two ideas, even if it is not obvious, but he can still understand which idea he is satisfied with.

However, this kind of voting method still makes political novices like Henries more satisfied, and everyone feels that their opinions are fully respected, even if they are not adopted, but they are not obviously rejected, are they?

Soon, the result of the vote was announced, and everyone agreed to continue New Guinea as an Australian colony and change its name to Australian New Guinea.

All of New Guinea's institutional policies remained the same, except that its allegiance had become Australia.

As for the candidate for governor of New Guinea, Arthur recommended Aníbal Enrique Hernandez, which was also agreed and approved by all the people in the cabinet.

Aníbal Enrique Hernandez was also one of Duke Arthur's subordinates and was a relatively versatile talent.

Although Aníbal Enrique Hernandez does not have a good one-way ability, his overall ability is basically above the passing line, and he is loyal to Arthur and the royal family, so he is a good candidate for governor.

After all, Arthur did not think that New Guinea could do anything under the rule of Aníbal Enrique Hernandez, and his greatest task was to maintain the stability of Australian New Guinea and transport the wealth and resources collected from Australian New Guinea to Australia on time.

After solving the problem of managing the colonies of New Guinea, Arthur threw New Zealand's problems to the government.

Unlike British New Guinea, New Zealand is one of the self-governing British colonies and has a population of nearly one million.

Like Australia before it, New Zealand also sought political and economic independence, and historically became an autonomous region of the United Kingdom in 1907, fully independent in 1947, and joined the British Commonwealth.

Although New Zealand lags behind Australia in terms of land area and population, it has to be denied that New Zealand is a country that has begun to seek independence, and New Zealand's policies and systems should be treated with caution, otherwise it is likely to lead to dissatisfaction among New Zealanders and make New Zealand secede from Australia.

Moreover, Arthur did not have any sovereignty over New Zealand, but only served as Governor of New Zealand for twenty years under the orders of Queen Victoria.

Although during these twenty years, Arthur had the right to govern New Zealand, and he also had the advantage of ruling New Zealand.

But that doesn't mean New Zealand is firmly in Arthur's hands. Because there is no legal reason, the only thing Arthur can hope for is that at the New Zealand referendum twenty years later, the majority of New Zealanders choose to remain under Arthur's rule and form a joint state with Australia.

One of the great powers, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was a union of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Austrian Emperor Franz was also the King of Hungary.

However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a serious drawback, that is, the union of the two countries was not close, although it was largely dominated by the Austrian Empire, but the Kingdom of Hungary still maintained a high degree of autonomy, more like a double state.

Although relying on Franz's excellent talents, this patchwork country can run and maintain the throne of the great powers.

But such a country could not withstand the devastation of the unexpected, and after the defeat in the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was divided into several small states, and the prestige of the former great power was lost.

New Zealand is far away from Australia, and it is impossible to annex it directly as a new Australian state.

Therefore, a better solution in the future would be to form a new country with New Zealand and merge the two countries into one.

"Guys, what should we do about New Zealand? We will only rule New Zealand for twenty years, and if we fail to settle New Zealand's problems within these twenty years, we will have to sit back and watch New Zealand return to the arms of Great Britain or allow it to become a new independent nation. Arthur glanced at the crowd and threw out the most complicated of the puzzles.

After glancing at the crowd and finding that no one had come out to answer the question directly, Arthur directly began to roll call.

"Prime Minister Evan, as the former Prime Minister of the New South Wales colony, you should be able to relate to the idea of independence in a colony like New Zealand. Let's talk about how we should deal with New Zealand's management problems. Whether to continue to see New Zealand as a colony or as a new territorial administration. Should we sit idly by and let New Zealand act independently of the question of independence? Arthur asked.

These are difficult questions to answer, Arthur is currently the Governor of New Zealand, and it would not be of any benefit to Arthur if New Zealand was allowed to succeed directly on its own.

But if New Zealand's independence was suppressed, would New Zealanders still have a good opinion of Arthur?

If Arthur loses the hearts and minds of the New Zealanders, will there be a chance for Australia to merge with New Zealand to form a new country in New Zealand's referendum twenty years later?
