April 19, 1901.

After a few days off, Arthur was busy again. This time, the destination was New Guinea, north of Australia, which is now Australian New Guinea.

It was the first time since the colony of New Guinea was taken over by Australia that Arthur had visited the land.

It's not that Arthur doesn't value the land, it's just that there are too many busy things in Australia for Arthur to manage the land.

The total population of Australia and New Guinea is less than one million, and the vast majority are indigenous to the island.

Most of the islands' natives live in isolated tribes, maintaining their own customs and rarely communicating with the outside world.

This has also led to the birth of many forbidden cultures in this land, such as cannibals, which are terrifying existences that make people smell and change.

If you look only at the population and the economy, then the importance of the land is greatly reduced, and the development potential is almost non-existent.

However, the island's abundant mineral resources and strategic location made up for this gap, making New Guinea a treasure trove for the British Empire, the German Empire, and the Dutch colonists.

With the transfer of control of British New Guinea to Australia, the territory was once again tripartite, with the Dutch East Indies colony in the west and the German Empire's New Guinea colony in the northeast.

The southeast, of course, is a colony of Australian New Guinea controlled by Australia.

Arthur agreed to remain a colony of New Guinea because it was indeed a land more suitable to remain a colony.

In terms of population size, although there are more than 900,000 people, the vast majority of them are indigenous people, and there are less than 10,000 European immigrants.

These natives are all independent tribes that are difficult to assimilate. While they are not enough to pose a threat to Australian domination, their culture of taboo is definitely not something that Australia can change.

In port, Arthur was greeted by the first Governor of Australian New Guinea, Aníbal Enrique Hernandez.

Aníbal Enrique Hernandez was one of the talents left to Arthur by Duke Arthur, and after being appointed governor of New Guinea, he has been conscientious and has not shown any self-indulgence.

In Australian New Guinea, far away from home, as the governor with the most power, Aníbal Enrique Hernandez's performance naturally won Arthur's trust.

Stepping into the port, most of the staff of the Governor's Palace were basically there.

Everyone was looking forward to Arthur, and at the same time there was a little apprehension in their hearts.

Some of the officials of the Governor's Office were remnants of the original British New Guinea, and most of them chose to make their homes in this land, and have become real immigrants and inhabitants of this land.

After Australia takes control of the land, they can only choose to continue to accept Australian rule and become Australians.

Skipping the welcome ceremony, Arthur led the people directly to the Doge's Palace.

The purpose of the visit was to inspect the work of Australian New Guinea and also to develop a plan for Australia's industrial development.

Although the Aborigines of Australian New Guinea have shortcomings of one kind or another, they have all been useful in devoting themselves to Australia's industrial development.

Until the Netherlands agreed to sell the natives to Australia, these New Guineans were the best laborers of Australia's industrial development.

"Governor Aníbal, you must be clear about the purpose of my visit this time, right?" Inside the Governor's Palace, Arthur looked at Governor Aníbal Enrique Hernandez and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness." Governor Aníbal nodded and replied respectfully.

"How many indigenous people were there in the entire colony of New Guinea? How many can travel to Australia and work for Australia? Seeing Governor Aníbal's affirmative answer, Arthur nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask.

"Your Highness, there are too many isolated and independent tribes in this land, and we can't be sure of the population of these tribes. If we count only the tribes that have come into contact with us, there are more than 800,000 indigenous people in the whole of Australian New Guinea. Governor Aníbal Enrique Hernández blurted out.

Seeing that Aníbal Enrique Hernandez clearly stated the population of the entire Australian New Guinea, Arthur nodded with satisfaction again and asked, "What do you think of the government's plan?" Is it possible to transport Aborigines from New Guinea to Australia for labour? ”

Any country that wants to transform from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy must go through a bloody and brutal process of oppression.

Whether it is the oppression of the population at home or the choice of exploitation from the colonies, this process is impossible to avoid.

Arthur and the Australian government's plan was to buy Aborigines from the colonies and abroad as much as possible, so that these Aborigines could replace Australians and contribute to Australia's industrial development.

It may not seem so humane, but it is obviously much better to risk the lives of the already scarce and precious Australians to develop industry than to oppress Australians.

"Your Highness, I think it can be done, and Australia does need these indigenous contributions. But doing so would also cause panic and anger among these natives. If we want to maintain stability in New Guinea, then my suggestion is to eradicate as much as possible and take this opportunity to eradicate all of New Guinea's indigenous populations. Otherwise, the hatred of exploitation and oppression would only build over time, and keeping these natives would not be good for the stability of New Guinea. Governor Aníbal Enrique Hernandez thought for a moment before speaking solemnly. There was a slight apprehension when he spoke, obviously worried that his words would disgust Arthur.

Governor Aníbal Enrique Hernandez's plan was even bloodier than the Australian government's plan.

But when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with what Governor Aníbal Enrique Hernández said.

The Aborigines of New Guinea and the Australians are two peoples who cannot be reconciled, and Arthur is absolutely impossible to accommodate the Aborigines of New Guinea.

Under such a premise, since we choose to oppress and enslave these natives, it is better to do absolutely and directly cut them down after using all the values of these natives, so as to prevent future troubles.

After all, Australia needs stability, and only the dead will not resist.

The third update, done! In the future, we will generally have three more, ask for support!
