Although Britain and France also announced the various conditions that Germany had promised to deal with the suspicion and confusion of the people, such statements obviously could not be concealed from Arthur.

It is an indisputable fact that France has just backed down.

Perhaps, this was the only chance that France could shatter Hitler's illusions without going to war.

Because the German army was limited to only 150,000, the Italian army seemed to be many and not very strong in combat.

Even if war broke out, close to 500,000 French troops could easily break through the German defenses without the intervention of other countries, after all, the German army did not have large-scale heavy weapons.

But there is no way, although France was the victor of the First World War, the damage caused to France by the First World War made the French afraid of such a war.

On the contrary, the harm and hatred of various countries against Germany after the First World War were basically transferred to France and the Jews by Germany.

This, coupled with Hitler, a very brilliant orator and emotional agitator, made the Germans choose hatred over the cowardice of the French in the face of the same harm as the French.

Although this meant that war was not far off, the increase in Germany's military strength was also good news for Arthur.

Only a stronger Germany could consume more of the national strength of Britain and France within the limits of its control.

Britain and France could not hold on, so they turned to Australasia, the world's third-largest power.

It is only in this situation that Australasia can get what it wants, and in a peaceful way.

It will take some time for Germany to expand its army, and it will certainly not be possible to start a war with these 250,000 troops alone.

This also means that there are at least two years or so of peace left in Europe, which is also the golden time for the development of Australasia.

It is not known whether Britain and France perceived the smell of war, but Arthur could no longer control Britain and France at this time.

Because in June 1933, the first cabinet government of the Australasian Empire officially began to be elected.

While cabinet elections have been held many times in Australasia, this is the first time since Arthur founded the empire.

This cabinet was not only able to hold the name of the first cabinet of the empire, but also to obtain a higher status than before, which was one of the reasons why many officials competed.

The number of political parties in Australasia has been reduced to 15 under the stricter rules governing political parties.

Among them, only 9 parties have more than 1 million supporters, and only 6 parties have won at least one seat in the House of Representatives.

Although there are not many of them, the competition between the political parties will be even more brutal. Moreover, all members of the House of Representatives can apply to run for the Cabinet.

In addition, those who have been elected to the Cabinet and are still eligible to be elected can also participate in the election of the first Cabinet of the Empire.

As a result, all seats in the first cabinet are far more competitive than before.

Even ministers from insignificant ministries have caused competition among many officials, and the difficulty of re-election in the current cabinet has been magnified many times.

In addition to the election competition of the cabinet, people are also concerned about whether the vaguely formed rules of the previous cabinet will continue after the establishment of the empire.

This stipulates that after serving as a state minister (deputy prime minister), 100% of the current prime minister will be elected as the next prime minister if the current prime minister cannot be re-elected.

This provision has been in place since the creation of the Secretary of State during the Prime Minister of Kent, and it still remains so.

In this case, if Prime Minister Raul is not re-elected, then the current Minister of State, Daizer Watson, should become the prime minister of the new cabinet government.

Is this really the case?

Arthur actually has relevant considerations.

Although the choice of prime minister can be directly decided by Arthur, Arthur does not want to use this seemingly authoritarian and arbitrary power frequently.

It can be seen from the change of cabinet government in Australia that although the position of prime minister is important, there are still some candidates that Arthur is not optimistic about.

Although the political parties are different, the ideological concepts of these officials can be roughly divided into two factions, radical, conservative and balanced.

The current Prime Minister Raul, who rose step by step from defense minister to the prime minister's high position, can be regarded as a representative of the radical faction.

And the representatives of the conservative faction, mainly during the Principality of Australia, were the first Prime Minister Evan and the second Prime Minister Walter.

As for the equilibrarians, there are currently two representatives, namely the Prime Minister of Kent and the Prime Minister Roger.

Both men have one obvious thing in common, which is to go straight to the first cabinet as Arthur's henchmen, and then step by step to the top of the government.

It can be understood that the radicals are the military, the middle class, and petty capital with a pioneering spirit; Conservatives are big capital and local forces.

And the equilibrium faction, in fact, can be understood as Arthur's diehard. Their political ideas are not fixed, and Arthur's ideas are the fundamental reason that determines their political thoughts.

If Arthur had to choose, Arthur was actually more inclined to be radical and balanced.

It is not that one side is more loyal, but the main reason is that Arthur has taken a fancy to the support and excitement of the radicals and the equalizers for the war.

Conservatives, as the name suggests, are still a little conservative in their thinking. For example, the second Prime Minister Walter, as a local force in Australia, what he advocated was Australia's low-key development, and even advocated streamlining the army and saving military spending.

In times like these, radicals are clearly better suited to rule the country. Although Dazer Watson has been re-elected to four consecutive cabinet terms, Arthur is not optimistic that the more conservative Daizer Watson can lead Australasia to win this war.

Arthur's attitude has already decided who will be the next prime minister.

After about a month of election, Prime Minister Raul was successfully re-elected and became the first Prime Minister of the Australasian Empire.

Dazer Watson also ended his political career as a member of the cabinet of four terms, and with his baron title, he very wisely chose to retire.

With the hereditary baronial title, Dazzle Watson made the Watson family, who were originally commoners, successful in becoming a noble family in Australasia.

That's more than enough, and Daze Watson is also a smart guy who knows when to leave.

For such a smart person, Arthur naturally would not cross the river and tear down the bridge. After all, he was also a veteran of four cabinet governments, serving as the Australasian cabinet minister from 1911 and staying in the country's most important cabinet government for 22 years.

When Dazzle Watson left, Arthur gave Dazzle Watson a large piece of land and awarded him a medal.

Back to the Cabinet.

Although the prime minister is still Raul, the current cabinet government has changed significantly compared to the previous one.

Former Prime Minister Roger led the successful return of the Australasian National Party and successfully won the very important position of Speaker of the House of Representatives.

In order to appease the conservatives, Arthur chose Maciey, the other conservative-minded Minister of Agriculture, as the new Minister of State in the new cabinet government.

Needless to say, it is only after the death of Archbishop Stede that Australasia will have a new bishop.

The Secretary of State for Defence remains re-elected by Thomas. With war likely to break out in the next few years, Arthur does not intend to change the Minister of Defence in this Cabinet administration.

After all, Thomas's ability is still very good, and since he became Secretary of National Defense, he has proposed some military expansion plans and investment in military science and technology, and Arthur is still very satisfied.

It's just that when this guy asks for military spending every year, he seems a little too crazy, which makes many members of the cabinet, including Arthur, a little annoyed.

However, he also knew that Minister Thomas was for the country's military considerations, and even if Arthur would be annoyed by Minister Thomas at the beginning of every year, Arthur still did not have any idea of punishing Minister Thomas.

After all, Arthur would also like to see the country's military side become stronger. Although economic, industrial, demographic, and military factors determine the overall strength of a country, only when military strength becomes strong will those enemies truly feel afraid.

The previous Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, re-became Secretary of State for Royal Affairs. The previous Minister of Crown Affairs, Ajaydin, was prepared by Arthur for George, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on the West Coast.

It is worth mentioning that because the old Hunter butler is getting older, many things of the royal consortium have gradually been transferred to Hunt's hands.

This is also the reason why Hunt stepped down from the important position of Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Minister of Royal Affairs usually does not have many things, and this time is just the right time for him to control the entire royal consortium.

With the experience of two consecutive Chancellors of the Exchequer, Arthur is still more assured that Hunt can control the entire royal consortium.

After all, even the finances of the state can be managed, let alone the royal consortium.

What's more, Arthur also has a lot of other henchmen, and the various companies under the royal consortium also have their own management candidates.

Hunt only needs to manage the leaders of these enterprises to be able to indirectly manage the entire royal consortium.

Of course, the current royal consortium actually has a new name, called the Royal Consortium.

After all, the empire has been established, and the Australasian royal family has successfully become the Australasian royal family, which can justifiably give some enterprises and units royal titles.

Back to the Cabinet. With the exception of these more familiar members, other cabinet positions have changed to some extent.

The most important of these positions is probably the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is in charge of the country's finances.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is under a new name, Finn Hudson. Finn Hudson was elected by the House of Representatives to become the new Chancellor of the Exchequer in the new Cabinet Government, having served as the Governor of Leonora Industrial Base Special District, the Premier of Western Australia, the Governor of Sydney and the Governor of the Capital Territory.
