"Over the next two years, the Coalition's most important plan is to increase New Zealand's recognition of the Coalition and its association with Australia. I hope that every once in a while there will be a detailed report on the actions of the Coalition, and I will strongly support your actions. Arthur glanced at Grant and said with a little meaning.

"I understand, Your Highness. The coalition has always pursued the unity of Australia and New Zealand, and we will do everything we can to get more New Zealanders to support the union of New Zealand and Australia. It is believed that the country formed by the combination of New Zealand and Australia will be stronger, which is a choice that New Zealanders and Australians will not regret. Grant nodded hurriedly, assuring in general.

Mayor Grant did act very quickly, and just the next day, members of the League Party could be seen on the streets of Wellington promoting the idea of the Alliance Party, and the slogans of uniting Australia and building a beautiful Oceania together were endless.

Originally, the colonial government of New Zealand still suppressed political parties to a certain extent, but under Arthur's instructions, the New Zealand government did not carry out any boycott this time, but chose to let the Union party act.

But in the eyes of the people, the government did not oppose anything, in fact, it was tacit.

On the premise that the government did not object, more people joined the coalition party, and even some former members of the New Zealand Labour Party, after hesitating reflection, also chose to give up their membership in the New Zealand Labour Party and join the coalition party instead.

Arthur's covert support and the colonial government's inaction allowed the Coalition to grow in a single week, with more than 200 members and a successful expansion into the cities of New Zealand's North Island.

Conservative estimates suggest that the League will attract thousands of members within at least two years, and these will also play a vital role in guiding New Zealand's major cities.

The current Coalition is a catalyst for Arthur's annexation of New Zealand, and the larger the size of the Coalition, the faster the annexation of New Zealand will progress.

This is also the reason why the Union was able to gain Arthur's support and the colonial government did not act.

In the absence of the involvement of the British Empire, Arthur was the most powerful voice in New Zealand, and there was no one.

Even General Pierce, the commander of the New Zealand garrison, one of the top positions of New Zealand before, had no chance of winning against Arthur.

While the Coalition is currently gaining momentum in New Zealand, Arthur is unlikely to remain in New Zealand.

But Arthur was not worried that the Coalition would gain momentum beyond his control. New Zealand is not one of those free countries in Europe, and New Zealand's only freedoms can only be possessed with Arthur's permission.

Not to mention whether the League will be beyond Arthur's control in two years, in the current context of New Zealand, even if the League is given ten years, it is absolutely impossible to exceed Arthur's control.

In the context of New Zealand's self-governing colony, the Union currently has the most power to participate in the political squad.

The right to participate in politics is also granted by Arthur and can be withdrawn at any time.

Without power, the League would never have escaped Arthur's control, let alone Grant Wilson, the leader of the League, who was under Arthur's control.

In order for the League to continue its free and savage growth, Arthur, accompanied by officials of the colonial government, inspected the entire North Island of New Zealand, including the factories, railways, roads, schools, hospitals, and various public facilities that New Zealand had previously built.

Since you have come to New Zealand, you must have to make a series of development plans for the government before leaving.

At least during the time that Arthur is not in New Zealand, let the New Zealand government have something to do, so that the New Zealand people can also feel Arthur's presence.

It is a good plan to repair the old railways and roads, and to support the hospitals and schools that were built before.

These facilities have already been built in New Zealand, and it will cost very little money to renovate them or invest in them to support them.

Not only can the New Zealand people see the changes quickly, so that the New Zealand economy can recover quickly, but also without spending a lot of money, it can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Arthur's first stop on his inspection was the New Zealand railway. Railways are very important for the development and construction of the country, not only one of the main means of transportation, but also an important way for people to move.

Thanks to the good development of New Zealand, New Zealand now has one railway in the North Island and one railway in the South Island, with a total length of about 300 kilometers.

The longest railways are located in the North Island, connecting Wellington in the far south of the North Island, the goldfields in the west and the bay in the north, almost becoming the Loop Railway of New Zealand's North Island.

The railway is important for economic exchanges in the North Island of New Zealand, but due to the previous economic downturn in New Zealand, a large part of the railway has fallen into disrepair, and most of the entire railway has also been suspended.

For Arthur and the colonial government, the most important thing was to restore the operation of the railway.

Most of New Zealand's population lives in the North Island, which is also the economic and political center of New Zealand.

If the North Island Railway can be restored, the first step in New Zealand's economic recovery will be half the battle.

Thankfully, the railroad was built just over 30 years ago, and most of the railways can continue to be serviced with a few simple repairs, while the rest only need to be partially replaced, or simply re-laid rails.

According to the colonial government's estimates, it would take less than £200,000 to repair all the railways in the North Island, and 1,000 labourers would have been required.

With all New Zealanders expecting the New Zealand economy to recover, it will not be difficult to gather these 1,000 workers.

Arthur did not hesitate, ignoring the distressed eyes of the colonial government officials, and transferred 200,000 pounds from the government's funds to repair all the railways in the North Island of New Zealand.

The money was actually given to the New Zealand government by Arthur as the Duke of Australia, and he had a total of two million pounds.

So far, the total amount of money in the possession of the New Zealand government has not exceeded three million pounds, which is why the officials of the colonial government are so distressed after Arthur has spent two hundred thousand pounds.

The first is to ask for support!
