Chapter 727: A Special Visit (2/3 Update)

The successful holding of the World Aircraft Expo also gave Arthur the leisure to prepare for the establishment of the two kingdoms of North America.

In addition to the long-established Kingdom of California, there is also a kingdom named the United Kingdom of the West Coast, with its capital in Seattle, the largest city in the state of Washington.

The reason why this place was chosen is because Seattle is close to the sea, which can develop the sea, and the future of urban development is greater.

Secondly, Seattle is also the largest city in the Northwest Territories of the United States, and has one of the largest populations and economies in the United Kingdom.

Of course, because of the small population of Washington State, Seattle's population is certainly not as large as that of Los Angeles, which currently has a population of just over 300,000.

This is one of the few large cities in the Northwest of the United States, and it still has a lot of footprints in history.

At present, Seattle's shipbuilding industry is relatively developed, and with the shipbuilding industry, it can also make the economy of the United Kingdom on the West Coast better.

As for the capital of the Kingdom of California, of course, Los Angeles, which has the largest number of people at the moment.

Unlike the choice of the capital of California, it is better to control the situation in the kingdom by having it in Los Angeles.

After all, the entire Kingdom of California has a population of more than 5 million, and Los Angeles provides a population of more than 1 million, which also plays a vital role in the development of the entire country.

The names and capitals of both countries have been decided, but it has not yet been decided which country the two little ones will be kings of.

To ensure fairness, Arthur took the simplest approach, which was to draw lots to decide Peter and George's territory.

The end result was that Peter became King of California and George King of the United Kingdom on the West Coast.

The two little guys had no objection to the result of such a lot, and the final distribution result was determined.

Judging by the age of the two men, Peter would be the fastest to take power. And George, who is still young, will have to wait a few more years, which is just in time for him to learn some balancing skills and do his duty as a king.

After arranging the territory of the two little ones, Arthur's attention was on William and Anna's marriage.

William and Anna were born in 1909 and are currently over 19 years old.

Although there is no hurry to get married, if there is a suitable engagement partner, it is not impossible to get engaged to William and Anna first.

And when it comes to members of the royal family, especially the marriage of the heir to the throne in the future, it will be carefully chosen, which also means that it will take longer.

European royal marriages pay attention to the right family, and they are relatively strict. For an heir to the throne like William, the fiancée he is engaged to marry must be at least the daughter of the duke, and the earl is basically not considered.

Fortunately, there are still many European royal families, and the German and Russian royal families have also been preserved, so there is room for choice.

Arthur also made it clear to the two little guys, saying that he would support them to fall in love freely within the range of options, and would not force them to be engaged in a short period of time.

But the time frame is within three years. If they can't find their favorite candidates within three years, Arthur will choose a more suitable marriage partner for them in the European royal family.

Of course, William, as the heir to the throne, has a much smaller range of options than Anna can choose.

For his only daughter, Anna, Arthur doesn't ask too much. If Anna chooses to marry a foreign royal family, Arthur will give her a large and generous dowry, the total value of which is definitely an unimaginable figure.

If Anna chooses to marry a nobleman or commoner in Australasia, Arthur will grant Anna and her betrothed the title of knighthood, allowing them to live a noble and luxurious life in Australasia.

This is also the difference between ordinary members of the royal family and heirs to the throne. It was impossible for William to marry a commoner, and it was likely that their descendants would lose their right to the throne.

But Anna doesn't have so many limitations. Coupled with Arthur's support, she can choose her own wishful husband at will, and how she chooses Arthur will ensure that Anna has enough assets.

Of course, the two soon-to-be kings will be no exception. Although they are about to have two huge kingdoms, they are their own children after all, and the gifts for them naturally have to be prepared.

And according to the situation in their respective countries, Arthur's gifts to them are also customized, which will definitely allow them to have a better development in their new country.

George's West Coast United Kingdom is still good in terms of shipbuilding. After George truly took control of the government, Arthur would let the government establish cooperation with the United Kingdom of the West Coast to help the United Kingdom of West Coast become the first-class shipbuilding power in North America and the second-rate in the world.

Such a scale is also completely sufficient, and no more or less is appropriate. With the shipbuilding industry, the United Kingdom of the West Coast will also have sufficient revenues and the country's finances will not be burdened.

And Peter's Kingdom of California didn't really need shipbuilding more than anything. California has a more developed population and economy than the United Kingdom on the West Coast, but that also means that California will be more chaotic.

Arthur would give Peter an additional small navy, plus some weapons and equipment to support him, so that he had more military strength.

For the future development direction of the country of the two little guys, Arthur has almost customized it for them.

California is more suitable for the development of industry and technology, and the efforts in new science and technology are not necessarily much worse than that of later California.

The United Kingdom on the West Coast, on the other hand, is better suited to agriculture. Montana and Wyoming were both well-known grain-producing states in later generations.

As long as agriculture can be developed, the United Kingdom of the West Coast will definitely be able to sell its food throughout North America, and it will not necessarily be worse economically than California.

Moreover, the United Kingdom on the West Coast has more land area and the long-term development potential is certainly higher.

As long as sufficient population can be attracted from the Great Lakes industrial region and the East Coast of the United States, rapid growth in a short period of time is not impossible.

Of course, this will definitely not be done until the two little ones are really in power.

After all, if it happens, the achievement of accomplishing these things will give them a lot of prestige and stabilize their dominance.

If it were brought up now, it would only stabilize the governments of California and the United Kingdom of the West Coast, not the two little ones who are kings.

At present, the courses of the two little ones have doubled compared to before, and many new courses on politics have been added.

They also study various recent histories, including the reasons for the rise and fall of the United States, so that they can have a deeper understanding of the United States as a country and rule these Americans more effectively.

Of course, there is another reason, and that is to make the two little ones deeply understand the bad situation that the United States faced before.

If we want to quickly solve the contradictions in the United States, we must quickly cut through the mess and directly exclude the black population from domination.

However, this obviously has to carry a cauldron, and it still has a great impact on the reputation of a king.

Although most European countries are racist, no one will say it explicitly, after all, there are many Madonnas among white people.

The best way to do that is to let the government take the blame and let the government enact policies that delegitimize black people.

In the end, it is a big deal to directly remove the government, and the two little guys can also use this to increase their prestige.

This is also considered to be some of the tools in politics, which need to be used by the two little ones themselves after learning to better grasp them.

To put it bluntly, politics is not something that can be learned from books. Only by experiencing it firsthand and finding ways to solve some difficult problems in politics can one enhance one's political experience.

When the two little guys take power, they will have to deal with the old fox-like politicians and the few capitalists on the West Coast of the United States.

If you want to push the country in the direction you want, you definitely have to put in a lot of effort.

Although Arthur has him as a backer, Arthur will certainly not be able to help them develop the country by himself.

Even Arthur felt that small setbacks would make them better, which was what they had to go through to become a good ruler.

The royal families of Europe say too much, and there is definitely no less to say less. But if you want to find a more suitable betrothal for William and Anna in the European royal family, there is actually very little choice.

Arthur did not want to marry the British royal family, after all, his grandmother Queen Victoria carried hemophilia, and if the Australasian royal family contracted this disease, it would be a heavy blow to the royal family's rule.

If the royal family wants to be stable, it must have many children, and hemophilia is one of the reasons why many royal families in Europe have lost their heirs.

Germany and Russia were not on Arthur's radar either. The current situation in Germany is not calm, and if World War II were to be started as in history, it is absolutely questionable whether Wilhelm II will be able to retain his throne.

Arthur had already married a Russian princess, so there was no need for his son to marry another. After all, Russia can't help Australasia now, and deepening ties may become a burden.

This has in fact excluded almost all the great powers. Because in addition to Britain, Germany, and Russia, the only countries that can be called great powers and are monarchies are Austria and Italy.

Italy's current situation is even worse than Germany's, and Austria's throne is unstable, which means that only the smaller European countries have a choice.

However, Australasia at this time did not need much external help. Arthur prefers that both little ones can find what they really like, and the best thing to do is to let them pick and choose.

Yes, it's that simple.

Arthur asked Queen Mary to take William and Anna on a visit to Russia, adding almost all the monarchies in Europe.

Arthur's meaning is also very simple, that is, to give William and Anna enough opportunities to visit the monarchies of Europe one by one, and to examine all their possible betrothals one by one.

After all, there are still a lot of private banquets between European royal families, and many of them are simply to let the royal family members find their favorite objects.

Historically, many members of the royal family have also found their wives and husbands in this way, but more often than not, it is arranged by the elders to marry.

William and Anna naturally understood that Arthur was tolerant enough, and the two didn't say much, and followed Queen Mary to Europe to start their own visit.
