For most countries in the world, the first step in maintaining good relations is to exchange ambassadors and form their own embassies.

As for Australia, although it has already been successful in independence, because Arthur wants to keep a low profile and has a good relationship with Queen Victoria, Australia has not sent ambassadors to various countries extensively, and even has no ties with other countries except Britain and Germany.

Hearing Minister Helbert's proposal to exchange ambassadors, Arthur remembered that Australia's presence in Europe was a little low, and it was true that there should be embassies in some important countries in order to better lay out some of Arthur's and Australia's plans.

Thinking of this, Arthur stood up directly, smiled and said to Minister Helbert: "That's right, Minister Helbert. It is time for us to send ambassadors to effectively implement the treaty we are about to sign and to lay the foundation for friendly relations between our two countries. I will carefully consider the choice of ambassador and inform your Government subsequently. Expect the friendship between Australia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands to endure forever. ”

Hearing Arthur's direct decision, Minister Helbert was a little surprised and delighted.

The details of the meeting have made it clear to Chancellor Helbert that a number of Australian officials, including Prime Minister Evan, do not have control of the government.

The mysterious Duke in front of him is the true master of Australia.

Hearing Arthur's direct affirmation and agreement, Minister Helbert was secretly overjoyed. By the time this had been done, he and Governor William had already completed most of their mission to Australia.

The rest of the task depends on the performance of Queen Mother Emma. But in any case, the rest of the things are definitely not something that the two of them can participate in, and being able to do their business well has already satisfied Minister Helbert.

If Minister Helbert knew that Arthur's purpose in agreeing to exchange ambassadors was to establish intelligence stations and spy services in Europe, I am afraid that Minister Helbert would be angry and turn the table up.

Later, Minister Helbert and Governor William had a detailed discussion with Australian officials about how many aborigines were purchased each year, how to transport them, and where to transport them, including the price and conditions of each aborigine.

I don't know why, Minister Helbert, who is the plenipotentiary of the Dutch government in this discussion, has always maintained a humble posture, and has been accommodating to many hot issues that should have been arguing, and even directly chose to back down.

Even on the more important question of price, Chancellor Helbert directly agreed to the price proposed by Prime Minister Evan of five pounds per native.

You know, under the premise that the Dutch government needs to send troops to capture these natives and use the fleet to transport them, the price of five pounds even makes Arthur suspect that the Dutch are making a loss-making business.

However, Arthur was neither the monarch of the Netherlands nor had anything to do with the Netherlands, and since the Netherlands agreed to this price, Arthur naturally had no objections.

It was precisely because of the concession of the Dutch side that the whole negotiation process went very smoothly, and even only took more than an hour.

Arthur and Prime Minister Evan thought it would be a discussion that would take a whole day or even days, but they didn't expect it to be completed in just over an hour.

Had it not been for the absence of Queen Wilhelmina on the Dutch side, I am afraid that this treaty could have been signed and executed on the same day.

Although Arthur and all Australian officials were dumbfounded by the repeated concessions and compromises of the Dutch government and Minister Helbert, it was a good thing for Australia, and everyone was just a Dutch fool with more money.

The plan to buy Bumiputera was successfully completed, leaving a number of Australian officials, including the Minister of Industry, happy.

After the treaty was implemented, at least 50,000 Aboriginal would be transported to Australia each year to become slaves.

This is a strong source of labor for Australia's industrial development and various economic construction, and it is also a guarantee for Australia to carry out large-scale construction.

In previous industrial developments, some of the more dangerous tasks were often carried out in a cautious manner.

Although this effectively reduces casualties, it is a major drag on the process of industrial construction.

After having these natives, all the dangerous and thankless work can be done by these natives.

All tasks can be completed very efficiently without delays. Except for the death of some natives, this situation can be said to be a happy one.

Of course, no one cares if some natives die. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of natives die every year in European colonies, and who can guarantee that these natives die a natural death?

After the plan was negotiated, Chancellor Helbert and Governor William spent two days in Sydney as guests, before meeting up with the "reluctant" Queen Mother Emma and heading for the Dutch East Indies in the north.

Queen Mother Emma seems to be really a little reluctant, the chat with Princess Louis in the past two days has made Queen Mother Emma very happy, if it were not for the two ministers urging her to return, Queen Mother Emma plans to stay for a few more days.

After seeing off the Dutch diplomatic delegation, Arthur returned to the manor in a relaxed state.

Having enough development funds to buy most industrial equipment from the UK and Germany also solves the thorny problem of labor shortages.

Australia's industrial development can be said to be unhindered at the moment, and with the help of German experts, perhaps Arthur will be surprised by the magnitude of growth next year.

Back at the manor, Arthur meets Princess Louis and her two younger sisters with a happy face.

Since the assassination of Duke Arthur, Princess Louis has lost a lot of smiles on her face.

This was the first time Arthur had seen Princess Louise smile recently, and he was very curious, walked up, gently stroked the foreheads of his two sisters, and then asked, "Mother, you seem to be in a good mood lately?" ”

Before Princess Louise could reply, the two younger sisters scrambled to reply, "Yes, brother." Don't you know yet? Mother wants to marry your brother with the woman from before! ”

The woman before was naturally Queen Emma, who had left.

Getting married to yourself?

Arthur was stunned for a moment, and he had been so busy with government affairs that he forgot that he was over 18 years old, and that it was a good age for engagement in the Western aristocracy.

But who is Queen Emma? As the queen of the second marriage of the former Dutch king, the relationship between Queen Emma and the old Dutch aristocracy is not so good.

Who can Queen Emma introduce to Arthur's betroth? It can't be her daughter, Queen Wilhelmina!

The second more, ask for support!
