News of the Army's reform instantly became a front-page headline in Australasia, and even attracted the attention of many foreign media and governments.

At a time when the size of the German army was severely limited to 100,000 men, the nominally number one land power had returned to the hands of the French.

But only the generals who participated in the First World War knew that the Australasian army was second only to the German army in combat effectiveness in the First World War.

Even the most elite Guards were able to wrestle with the German army, which meant that the title of the French Army's number one power was somewhat misplaced.

If it weren't for the fact that the Australasian army has always been small, I am afraid that some countries would not be as calm as they seem.

Of course, in any case, the reform of the Australasian army structure still attracted the attention of many major powers.

When they learned about the firepower of the new Australasian division in various ways, they all exclaimed in amazement: "It's crazy!" ”

The increase in firepower is visible to the naked eye, and even the current Australasian army can wrestle with any German army during World War I.

However, even though the great powers saw the benefits of such an organization, few armies were willing to make a change.

Don't look at the difference in the number of people in each division is only 1,000, and the difference in the quantity and quality of weapons and equipment is not a star and a half.

In such a situation, not every country has the confidence of Australasia.

After all, the economic crisis is still ongoing, and if you want to get out of it, you will have to wait at least until countries have absorbed the American legacy.

With regard to the division of the United States, although the situation is somewhat unexpected, the scope of the previous discussions between Britain, France, and Australia will not change much.

On this basis, the impact of Australasia on the states of California's western coast has begun.

If the defeat of the United States was only a de facto defeat of the Americans' self-confidence, then the abolition of the U.S. government was a psychological defeat of the Americans.

The biggest consequence of this is that some careerists with ulterior motives have begun to hype up their ideas.

As for what the concept is, it is naturally about how to build a correct America, an America where Americans really care about the American people.

Especially those states that have declared their withdrawal from the war but are not under the control of the coalition forces, these areas are far more chaotic than those that are controlled.

The discourse of union, independence, and joining other countries has also made North America even more confusing.

The good news is that Australasia controls almost half of the western United States, which is also less chaotic than the eastern United States.

As the clock ticked for December, Hawaii and Alaska announced the final result of the referendum, which was to join Australasian rule unconditionally.

Such news is not surprising, because Britain and France both know that no one wants to spit out these long-negotiated lands, and Britain and France are no exception.

Although everyone understands that this is the result of a black-box operation, there is still work to be done on the surface.

On December 3, 1928, the Australasian government welcomed the accession of the two regions and said it would admit all the permanent residents of Alaska and Hawaii to citizenship.

Also on the same day, the Australasian government announced its approach to two areas:

Alaska will become a crown autonomous territory of Alaska, with the governor and officials of the territory appointed by the crown at the rank of governor.

The Hawaiian Territory will become the Hawaiian Territory, similar to the Sydney Territory, with a Governor, appointed by the government.

Arthur hesitated for a long time about the handling of Hawaii in states and territories, and finally decided to establish a Hawaiian territory.

The reason is simple: Hawaii is too far away from the mainland, and it would be too cumbersome to manage as a direct state.

It is better to establish a special territory in order to play Hawaii's role in the heart of the Pacific Ocean.

Because of this, Hawaii does not have a large permanent population, and its main purpose is to serve as a military base and a special tourist zone.

Even if it is done well, it is possible that the income from tourism in Hawaii alone can afford the cost of the entire Hawaiian military base.

Of course, this is only the most basic plan, and the real situation will not be known until the Hawaii region is established and the corresponding Hawaii naval base is established.

The establishment of two territories in a row also gave Australasia the limelight.

After all, it is a matter of expanding the territory, and it is still the meat cut from the previously recognized second power, which is more worthy of special mention than taking advantage of small countries.

Of course, the most such honor must be added to Arthur's body.

Now as long as you are an Australasian can not do without boasting about Arthur's achievements, some people have even begun to boast that Australasia will become the next United States under Arthur's leadership.

Yes, the next America.

Although people all over the world have little affection for the United States, which caused the American flu, no one can deny that everyone is envious of the scale of the economy that the United States once created.

In the face of the total scale of industry and the scale of the economy, even the British Empire could not compete with the United States.

Now, the people of Australasia are also imagining that under Arthur's leadership, the country they love can also develop into an economic and industrial superpower like the United States.

Naturally, Arthur heard such words. It's just that Arthur is a little helpless in addition to pride and satisfaction with such words.

If Australasia's economy and industry really developed to the point where the United States once did, I am afraid that the British would really be desperate to target Australasia, and even provoke another world war.

There is only one throne of world hegemony, which is why all previous world hegemony battles have become bloody and cruel.

Whether it was the Netherlands or Spain hundreds of years ago, or the British Empire today, they are doing their best to eliminate all hidden dangers that may threaten them.

I believe that the peace talks after a while will also prove Arthur's conjecture, even if the British cannot fully annex the east coast of the United States, they will definitely divide the east coast of the United States into multiple countries, and then try to bring these countries into their own sphere of influence.

New York State in particular, I am afraid that the British will have to be brought under their rule anyway. A state with a population of tens of millions is quite economically valuable in its own right, not to mention a megacity like New York, which is almost as big as London.

If it weren't for the economic crisis in New York, I am afraid that New York would have caught up with London within a decade.

But it is also this economic crisis that London is still London, but New York is no longer New York.

Time is like fine sand that cannot be held in the hand, even if it has been squeezed desperately, it still passes like a gurgling stream.

After just spending a happy Christmas, the time has quietly come to 1929.

The annual report meeting for the new year has become very solemn, after all, it is a matter of expanding the territory, and everyone in the cabinet can share a lot of merit.

People are happy to do it, and who doesn't want to see their country get better and better?

Arthur's focus is also on the population of Australasia.

If you include Hawaii and Alaska, Australasia's total population has exceeded 36.6 million.

Combined, Hawaii and Alaska contribute more than 400,000 people, but these populations are subject to a certain amount of screening.

Although Arthur vowed to accept all the populations of the two regions, this did not mean that Arthur would be indifferent to the blacks that these two regions had.

You know, blacks are recognized in the United States. Although it has only been a few decades since blacks were emancipated, both Alaska and Hawaii already have a certain number of blacks.

Leaving aside the rest of the population, blacks are definitely excluded from these two areas. Of course, because of Arthur's previous statement, the screening of blacks must not be so blunt.

This is also the next task for the governors of Hawaii and Alaska, how to move these blacks to other parts of the United States if they are acceptable to them.

The good news is that there aren't many blacks in Hawaii and Alaska, and it's perfectly possible to transfer blacks.

Like California, which has a population of more than 5 million, it has become more difficult to evict the black population in its entirety.

After all, the areas around California are sparsely populated and out-of-the-way, and blacks are not stupid enough to go to these areas for no reason.

Isn't it bad to live in bustling San Francisco and Los Angeles? If you join a gang, you will have money to spend, and even because of the chaos in the United States, the black community has also given birth to a lot of zero-dollar shopping time.

The so-called zero-dollar purchase is actually a fair robbery from some stores.

The zero-dollar purchase of this era is also different from later generations. At present, the discrimination suffered by blacks is still quite large, and most whites are not willing to accept such provocative robbery by blacks if they do not use force.

Even if California becomes a new country in the future, Arthur will help his son solve the black problem in California in advance.

The easiest way to do this is to brutally suppress it. Anyway, the current blacks don't have much human rights, and the way to suppress blacks to gain the favor of whites is conducive to California's future rule.

As for whether the repression of blacks will make the rest of the world spurn?

Remember, this is the 20th century. Except for the United States, a great power with a large black population in the country due to special historical reasons, all other great powers and countries reject blacks.

What are blacks for European countries? From a historical point of view, blacks were slaves on the estate; By the eyes of today, blacks are the livestock of the colonies.
