Soon after this cabinet meeting, at Arthur's orders, Butler Hunt began to invite all kinds of architectural experts from Europe, and searched for suitable places to build a new palace on the outskirts of Sydney.

The new palace will serve as the permanent residence and royal palace of the Australian royal family, and will also represent the dignity and face of the royal family to the outside world.

Since the new palace was to be built, Arthur was naturally not stingy, and the total budget for the construction this time was as high as five million pounds, and an unlimited number of natives were allowed.

The construction of this palace has one goal, that is, on the basis of luxury, as low-key as possible, as solemn as possible, on the basis of absolute strictness, on the basis of quality and quantity, a large number of indigenous people are used to speed up the construction cycle as much as possible, while not burdening Australia's various construction plans.

These requirements are actually quite high, but the construction of the royal palace this time hired a large number of architectural experts from Europe, and many of these people even built palaces and palaces for European royal families, and they are also the most competent candidates.

After a month-long site selection, the construction team traveled almost all over the suburbs of Sydney, and finally found a very suitable construction site in the suburbs of southwest Sydney.

This is a very vast plain, at the junction of mountains and lakes, to the east is a large plain area, to the west is a hill of more than 200 meters, and on the edge of the plain is a large lake.

According to this special geographical environment, after a long period of research, the construction team finally determined the design plan of the Australian Royal Palace, that is, the Sydney Palace.

The core area of the palace is a horizontal shape below the mouth glyph, and the two vertical bars are the dining room, the conference room, the entertainment room and the servants' residence.

Each of the two vertical bars has a protrusion below, and the one on the left is connected to the erected building, which is a place for the royal family's medical care, education, and entertainment, and of course, a fully functional royal private hospital will be built inside.

On the right is a circular church, which will also be the place where the Australian royal family will hold important festivals such as baptisms, weddings, funerals and so on.

The building on the right extends outwards into a building that will be used as a place for guests to live, including small restaurants, meeting rooms, offices and other facilities.

In the middle of the palace building, that is, in the middle of the mouth shape, is a large circular flower bed.

In the middle of the flower bed will be placed statues of Australia's rulers, with plans for Queen Victoria and Arthur.

Queen Victoria was the ruler of Australia during the colonial period and a key figure in the formation of the Principality of Australia.

Queen Victoria has a high reputation in the hearts of the people of both the British Empire and Australia, and the statue of Queen Victoria can not only prove that the Australian royal family comes from the noble blood of the British Empire, but also win the hearts of the British people and the favor of the British government.

Australia is where it is today, thanks to its origins in the British Empire. Australia may later be separated from the British Empire and become a fully independent and powerful country, but not now.

At least in terms of blood, Australia will not refuse to admit that it is from the British Empire, because this will not only bring Australia the glory of noble blood, but also allow Australia to gain a large number of British favors and British immigrants.

This special blood relationship is definitely not comparable to allies who are united by interests.

In other words, if one day the island nation, an ally of the British Empire, comes into conflict with Australia, and the British government does not support Australia, then it will have to face the discontent of the people at home and the opposition parties.

But the same is true for Australia, and if Australia is blatantly on the other side of the British Empire, and for no reason, the British and Australians will also be disappointed in the government.

On the periphery of the palace glyph, or where the line above the glyph is located, is a large semicircular fountain.

Beyond the fountain is the vast garden outside the palace, which will soon be planted with a large number of flowers and plants, making it the largest garden in the palace.

To the right of this garden is a large natural lake. The water from the fountains, as well as the small lakes in the royal palace, are connected to this huge natural lake.

Beyond the lake and gardens is an even larger square. The area of this square is very huge, and it is definitely not comparable to the square opposite the government affairs building before.

On the side closest to the royal palace, a parade platform was built more than six meters high, which was specially prepared for future military parades in Australia.

Underneath the parade stand, at the front of the square, this will be the place where the national flag is raised every day, with the Australian Royal Coat of Arms flag and the Principality of Australia flag being raised.

In front of the flag, at the back of the square, a stone monument with a sword unsheathed will be erected, called the Australian Heroes Monument.

It will be the place where any of the heroes who built Australia will be remembered for all Australians and visitors alike.

The back of the square to the Australian Heroes Monument to the national flag, the badge flag to the parade stand, is connected by a very wide road with flowers and grass fences on both sides.

And below the parade stand, there is an equally wide road that is perpendicular to this road, which divides the road on the square into a T-shape.

This horizontal road is the parade road, through which the troops of the future parade will pass and will be seen by the people in the square.

The huge square is divided into two parts by the road connecting the Heroes Monument and the national flag, which is the best place to enjoy the parade during the military parade, and this square will be able to accommodate at least 60,000 people and will be the largest square in Australia.

Finally, there is the hill behind the palace, which is only two or three hundred meters high and will be a place for members of the royal family to practice marksmanship and play.

All the buildings, including the hill, the main part of the royal palace, fountains, lakes, gardens and squares, make up Australia's new sprawling royal palace.

The palace covers an area of more than 400,000 square meters, or a full 40 hectares, or 0.4 square kilometers.

Among them, the area of the garden lake and the hill behind it is as high as 150,000 square meters, and the real main building area is only less than 100,000 square meters.

If the palace were to be built, it would have as many as 600 rooms, a complete private hospital, a chapel, a study area for the royal family, up to twenty meeting rooms of various sizes, six dining rooms, fifty offices, more than a dozen watchtowers and guard posts on the top floor, which could be regarded as luxurious, extravagant and heavily guarded.

It is worth mentioning that entering from the main entrance of the royal palace, there is a corridor more than 100 meters long on the left and right.

The corridor will feature literary works and treasures from around the world, and is a cultural corridor for the Australian royal family.

It's a pity that the main entrance is in the core area of the royal palace, and there are not many people who can enter and exit through this door, and there are only members of the royal family and the cabinet in Australia at present.

Without Arthur's summons, it would have been impossible for others to enter and visit the cultural corridor through the main entrance.

The first is to ask for support!
