Because of the intentional proximity of Australasia and Denmark, the relationship between William and Princess Alexandrine quickly warmed up in a short period of time.

Seeing that it was almost the case, Queen Mary officially proposed marriage to the Danish royal family on behalf of the Australasian royal family, and the Danish royal family readily agreed.

On April 27, 1929, the Australasian royal family and the Danish royal family officially announced the marriage contract of William and Alexandrin, and publicly stated that the engagement date of the two was set for the second half of this year, around October.

At about the same time, the two governments congratulated the two royal families on their marriage, and the Australasian government publicly invited the Danish government to pay a diplomatic visit to it in order to discuss further cooperation.

Naturally, the Danish government embraced it. No country will refuse an invitation from a great power, unless it is about to go to war.

What's more, the establishment of cooperation between the two countries is completely advantageous for Denmark, and the Danish government will naturally not miss this kind of thing.

The Australasian government's decision to do so was actually a unilateral decision by Prime Minister Raul. This is not only to save face for the royal family, but also to tell the Danish royal family that you have chosen the right marriage partner.

The marriage of two rather important kingdoms, although it did not change much for the world situation, was good news for European royal families.

A large number of countries congratulated both countries, including great powers such as Britain and France.

The British were actually more disappointed. Originally, George V's idea was to deepen ties with Australasia and promote the marriage between the two countries.

Although Arthur is also a descendant of the British royal family, he only needs to find a princess who is many times different and has a relatively distant blood relationship, and it is no problem to use it for marriage.

After the Victorian era, the British Empire gave rise to two superpowers, and if there is still close cooperation between these two superpowers, it is naturally a legend worth writing about.

After William made the marriage contract, the only one who can marry is Princess Anna of Australasia.

George V began to urgently search for a suitable member of the British royal family to try to facilitate the marriage of Princess Anna.

On the Finnish side, Dmitry was also the fastest. As Queen Mary's younger brother and William's maternal uncle, Dmitry had only heartfelt wishes for William's marriage.

Moreover, the marriage between William and Denmark is also good for Finland, after all, he is William's maternal uncle, which also means that Finland and Denmark have a certain connection.

As one of the outlets to the Baltic Sea, Denmark's importance in the Baltic Sea is still very high.

It is worth mentioning that Arthur's sister married to Sweden and is now the crown princess of Sweden.

In this way, the number of Baltic countries that have close relations with Australasia has reached three, and it can be said that they have influenced the entire Baltic Sea in disguise.

Compared with the heartfelt blessings of the Finnish royal family, some other small European countries are a little envious.

An alliance with a great power is a big boost for a small country.

If it is a country like Australasia where the monarch holds real power, then the improvement is more than a star and a half.

As long as Princess Alexandrine curries Arthur's heart, Denmark will have the support of one of the world's top three powers, which is equivalent to a disguised guarantee of independence.

Especially when William becomes king in the future, the relationship between Denmark and Australasia will be even closer.

In the next 50 years, as long as the Danish royal family does not die, the throne will be very secure, and the security of the country will be guaranteed.

In addition to the United Kingdom, there are two other countries that are slightly disappointed: Germany and Russia.

In fact, like the United Kingdom, Germany and Russia also need support from the outside world, and Australasia is a good choice.

This also makes the only remaining Princess Anna a sweetheart, and most European royal families are watching Princess Anna's whereabouts to facilitate the marriage they want.

Princess Anna, who is still in Denmark, naturally does not know that she has become the first choice for European royal marriages. She is also happy for her brother, and by the way, she is worried about her future marriage.

William's marriage was decided, and Arthur was also very happy. Arthur even planned to distribute free food in William's name to ordinary people throughout Australasia on the day of William's engagement, so that the people could participate in the celebration of the royal family.

The reason why he used William's name was naturally to accumulate a certain amount of prestige for William. After all, William's prestige determines not only his status and power after becoming king, but also the power that his next heir can inherit.

After this good news, Arthur became more strict with Peter and George's education.

After all, these two little guys are going to be kings on the other side of the ocean, and if they don't have a few hearts, they will easily be cheated by those cunning Americans.

In order to train them, they have also begun to gradually get in touch with some government affairs. Although they do not have decision-making power, Arthur will also give them some questions based on these government affairs to test their judgment.

On May 1, 1929, Lord Judge Grant Wilson of Australasia approached Arthur with some advice on immigration.

Grant Wilson, a familiar name, was once a prominent member of the United New Zealand Party, and when the two countries merged, he became one of the founders of the Unionist Party.

The current Unionist Party is the largest party in Australasia, and the strength of the Unionist Party is also inseparable from Arthur's support.

Arthur still has a certain affection for Grant Wilson, who is very knowledgeable. Grant Wilson served as Minister of Propaganda under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then as Speaker of the House of Representatives in 1919, and after serving two consecutive terms, he successfully held the position of Lord Chancellor of Australasia in the last Cabinet Government election, in 1928.

However, the position of the chief justice is relatively special, and it is very difficult to be re-elected.

While there is no limit to re-election for special cabinet positions for non-ministers, Arthur's support is crucial if he wants to remain in the cabinet.

Looking at Grant, who was looking very respectful in front of him, Arthur was generally satisfied. This official, who can be regarded as a local faction in New Zealand, has expressed his loyalty to Arthur from the very beginning, which is what Arthur is more optimistic about.

Officials of a monarchy, they need to understand whether they are loyal to the people or to the monarch. Although it is generally for the benefit of the people, the ruler of the country is ultimately the monarch.

In terms of ability and loyalty, Arthur placed more emphasis on loyalty than on one's ability.

Because to put it bluntly, the faithful will do what Arthur tells them to do, but the unfaithful will not.

Ability is important, but it also depends on whether the person is willing to give full play to his abilities.

"Judge Grant, tell me more about the report you have submitted." Arthur said with a smile at Grant, who was very respectful.

In normal times, Arthur is still willing to give people a sense of kindness and intimacy. But important officials in Australasia understood that their monarch appeared to be amiable, but his actual interests were inviolable.

This kind of hidden monarch is the most difficult to serve, because all the thoughts of the monarch will be hidden, and it is difficult for officials to guarantee that they will not anger the monarch.

This is also the political experience that Arthur summed up in his nearly 30 years as an independent monarch. A qualified monarch must be able to be moody and angry, giving people a sense of mystery that is uncertain.

The kind of monarch who writes any expression on his face, to put it bluntly, is just stunned.

It is easy for the courtiers to guess their own thoughts, and if they do what they like, it will naturally be easy to get close to the monarch.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of certain revisions to the programme of the United Party regarding our national policy in the area of immigration." Grant reported very respectfully: "

As a country of immigrants, the degree of recognition of the country by immigrants and the pride of the people in the country determine the cohesion of the whole country to a high extent.

The demise of the United States was largely breached from within, which means that we are also in this crisis very similar to the United States.

For the sake of national stability, I think it is necessary to unify the language and belief and the written culture. ”

"The stability of the country is inseparable from Your Majesty, and I summarize such a policy as the May 1st principle, that is, one country, one nation, one language, one government, one king." After looking at Arthur's face and seeing that there was nothing wrong, Grant continued: "

As a symbol of the country, you play a vital role in the stability of the country. Immigrants will also trust in your rule, which will help us promote ethnic, linguistic, cultural and religious unity.

Only when ethnicities, languages, and religious beliefs are completely unified will the country become a whole, and we will not be at risk of being similar to the United States. ”

Grant waited for Arthur's decision with a little trepidation.

To say that a country that is thriving has serious risks is also a bold attempt for Grant.

However, Grant believes Arthur will not be deceived by Australasia's current results. As a great monarch, Arthur naturally wanted to completely solve the troubles of Australasia, let the country become a whole, and then pass it on for thousands of years.

Sure enough, Arthur did not express his dissatisfaction with Grant's remarks, and even nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"Indeed, Judge Grant." With a smile of satisfaction, Arthur said to Grant, who was obviously apprehensive: "I am very satisfied with your so-called May Day theory. If you can carry it out through the United Party, you will be a hero to the country and the royal family, and I will not forget your credit. ”

Naturally, it is impossible for Arthur to carry out such a statement himself, and it is most effective to use the United Party, the largest party in the country.

Arthur's words are also very simple, as long as Grant can do this, Arthur will not forget Grant's credit, and a cabinet position is just a matter of one sentence.
