Arthur, as the host and ruler of one of the great powers, was naturally touted by many countries.

However, Arthur at this time will not be complacent because of a little praise. For Arthur, the praise in words was the least important, even easier than a $1 note.

In fact, there are not many representatives who are qualified to be received by Arthur and communicate intimately, they are nothing more than those countries with better relations, or more powerful powers.

It is worth mentioning that the island nation among the great powers is perhaps the only one that Arthur did not personally meet.

In the Australasian government, Arthur's dislike of the country was no secret. Government officials were very acquainted with the representatives of the island countries, and the person in charge of talking to the representatives of the island countries was an Australasian deputy minister of foreign affairs.

In fact, then again, there is actually nothing wrong with such an arrangement. The island nation is Australasia's only power competitor in the Pacific, and with the racial differences, a slight discrimination against European countries is understandable.

In other words, what European country does not discriminate against these indigenous people? Even if the strength of the island country is already a great power, in the eyes of many European countries, it is just a newly civilized monkey.

In particular, the height of the islanders is no different from those dwarf monkeys in the eyes of tall Europeans.

In particular, the special spoken language of the island people makes them feel funny and disdainful when they speak English.

At around 11 p.m., William returned to Fort St. Arthur with the convoy and Princess Alexandrine, and the most important ceremony of the wedding was about to begin.

The wedding, of course, took place at Albert Cathedral, inside the Palais des Nations. The church takes its name from Prince Albert, Arthur's grandfather, Queen Victoria's husband.

The wedding took place in the Victoria Chapel in the church, symbolizing the wedding of William and Princess Alexandrine under the watchful eyes of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria.

The wedding was officiated by Archbishop Sted, the highest-ranking bishop in Australasian Protestantism.

After both William and Princess Alexandrine said their vows, several fighter jets streaked across the skies of Fort St. Arthur, spewing colorful smoke in celebration of the two newlyweds.

It took a few hours for the ceremony to finally complete, and it also represented the addition of one more member to the Australasian royal family.

I have to say that the Danish royal family still attaches great importance to this wedding. The dowry given by the Danish royal family to Princess Alexandrine, in addition to two huge castles in Denmark, also includes hundreds of servants, a small princess guard, dozens of chests of gold jewelry, a crown made of gold and diamonds, and so on.

Of course, Arthur's dowry was also more generous. In addition to the aforementioned battleship, which was about to be decommissioned, Arthur's return gift included a ton of gold jewelry, hundreds of precious calligraphy and paintings and antiques, precious antique porcelain from the East, design drawings for second-generation aircraft, and a rubber production estate on the island of Java.

Among other things, the net profit of this medium-sized rubber production estate alone is already as high as more than 200,000 Australian dollars per year.

In fact, logically speaking, in two countries with European customs, weddings do not have too many dowries and dowries.

Even some family weddings are held jointly by both parties, and the bride price and dowry are only symbolically given.

But for the royal families of the two countries, it is naturally impossible to be so simple.

According to Kent Butler's statistics, the cost of the wedding alone is as high as 6 million Australian dollars. This, combined with a variety of extras, including gifts to the Danish royal family, brought the total cost of the wedding to over $10 million.

$10 million seems like a lot, but for Arthur it's a fraction of his annual income.

Not to mention anything else, the income of the pharmaceutical group alone has been able to hold several weddings.

Unfortunately, George and Peter are still young and not yet married and have children.

Otherwise, Arthur really wanted to hold the wedding of several of them together, and the sooner and more grand it was done, the better.

Seeing these little guys grow up slowly, even to the point of talking about marriage, Arthur also had to sigh at the rapid passage of time.

It has been 30 years since I came to Australia in 1900.

Arthur went from being an adult at the time to being 18 years old at the time, and now he is 48 years old, and he is already running for 50.

Although for the ruler of a country, such an age is just ripe, it is the golden time to rule the country.

But for Arthur, some government affairs are also busy, and sometimes he feels tired.

Governing a country is not as simple as it seems. Even though there are many things that Arthur has delegated to the cabinet and other officials, Arthur must keep track of the progress of this matter and always be careful to prevent accidents.

Now that the little ones are growing up, it can be regarded as both happy and emotional for Arthur.

I can only hope that a few little ones will grow to the point where they are satisfied, and when the country they have worked so hard to build for them is well ruled and the family becomes stronger and stronger, this is Arthur's ultimate hope.

In fact, people's lives are also very short, whether it is an ordinary family, or a dignitary, or a child of the royal family, it is the same.

If you can leave your own color in this world, so that future generations can talk about yourself and the Australasia you rule, it will be in vain.

History is vast, and it can leave a fleeting color in a long history, which is something that many people have not been able to do throughout the ages.

On the night of the wedding, the government also prepared a fireworks feast for William and Princess Alexandrine.

According to government statistics, the fireworks feast cost as much as 10,000 Australian dollars, and Fort St. Arthur's fireworks were bright that night, and those who didn't know thought it was a war.

Don't underestimate the $10,000. Although it has been highly depreciated compared to before, in terms of prices, the cost is still equivalent to millions of future generations of currency.

Just imagine the effect of spending millions on fireworks, and the shock is self-evident.

In order to show the strength of the country, the second day of the wedding actually has some content.

William and his new wife, Princess Alexandrine, will lead an army force tour of Fort St. Arthur, then fly to Sydney on an Air Force fighter jet, and from there take a warship to Adelaide, and finally return to Fort St. Arthur under the escort of the Army.

During the warship, William will also visit Melbourne to demonstrate the majesty and strength of the royal family.

The four cities of Fort St Arthur, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide represent the whole of Australia.

The reason why William was asked to do this, in addition to showing the majesty of the royal family, was to enhance William's popularity and fame.

After all, he is the future ruler of the country, and Arthur still has to pave the way for William's future accession to the throne.

Although World War II took place 100% during Arthur's reign, this does not mean that William's reign was unimportant.

Even in times of peace, it cannot be ruled out that there will be another world war after World War II.

Especially in the future, with the development of science and technology, global communication and exchange have become rapid, it is impossible for Australasia to get rid of the influence of the rest of the world.

Only by ensuring that William can wield enough power and lead the country to a stronger country can Arthur be relieved to abdicate and enjoy his last good life.

With the technology of this world that is a little ahead of history, maybe Arthur will see the birth of mobile phones, networks and computers in the future in an unknown number of years.

Of course, the next day's event was for William and Princess Alexandrine, and it didn't have much to do with Arthur.

But that doesn't mean Arthur has no task. As delegates gather in Australasia, major powers and small and medium-sized countries are also completing their plans.

The first is the United Kingdom.

Prince Edward first expressed the British royal family's congratulations to the Australasian royal family, and then took advantage of the congratulations to reiterate the relationship between the two royal families, and expressed the hope that the two countries can restore the previous friendly relations and re-establish close cooperation.

Naturally, Arthur would not react to this.

Jokes aside, Arthur would have had some trust in what Crown Prince Edward had said had been left if intelligence agencies had reported that officials from the British Foreign Office had quietly found the island's representative the night before.

Arthur, of course, scoffed at the British's approach of balancing their allies while pursuing a balancing policy.

I don't know if the British government really didn't notice or was too concerned about the struggle with France, but the changes in several European powers have symbolized the rise of a new power.

What's worse is that this force is not only more radical, but they also share common goals and interests for various reasons.

In other words, Britain, France, and even Australasia were enemies of this newly-born power.

The present struggle between Britain and France and the small actions behind the British are in fact financing these forces and giving them the opportunity to grow stronger, and eventually become a great danger in the eyes of the British.

But then again, the British are actually understandably paralyzed at this time.

Although the rulers of Germany and Italy were more aggressive. But the problem is that both countries actually have too many restrictions.

Italy, of course, needless to say. Before World War I, Italy had shown jaw-dropping army battles that had become the laughing stock of Europe.

Now the war between Italy and the Abyssinian Empire can be said to be a repeat of the past, the performance of the Italian army is not much better before the First World War, an advanced power country and an indigenous country are actually fighting five or five times, which also makes Britain and France completely lose the idea of interfering in this war.

The Germans were actually more threatening, but not so much for the British.

The size of the army is strictly limited to 150,000, and it is forbidden to have capital warships of more than 10,000 tons.

It was also forbidden to develop heavy firepower weapons, and aircraft, tanks, and artillery were within the scope of the ban, which severely limited the development of the German army.

For the British, they instead wanted the Germans to become stronger and stronger. In this way, the British do not need any motivation to sit back and watch the confrontation between Germany and France, and in this way maintain stability and hegemony in the European region.
