On June 10, 1936, after a long night of talks between Arthur and the British and French ambassadors, Australasia finally declared war on Germany and Italy the next day.

It was a bolt from the blue for Germany and Italy. According to the original world ranking, the German-Italian alliance will directly challenge the top three powers in the original world, and Britain and France will also have an extremely strong logistical support force.

At noon on the same day, when Arthur faced an interview with the European media, he answered the European media's question head-on, why did Australasia, which is far away in Oceania, interfere in the war in Europe?

Arthur replied: "I don't think it's a war in Europe. Look at the countries and regions involved in the war, which spread across Europe, North America and Africa, and this is another world war that has spread across the globe.

And, whether in accordance with the wishes of our grandmother, Queen Victoria, or in keeping with our treaty of alliance with Great Britain, we should join this war to protect our borders from aggression and our people from the ravages of war. ”

"But, Your Majesty. Because of your orders, Australasia is about to face the two great powers, Germany and Italy. Even if the war is won in the end, it is inevitable to suffer a lot of casualties. Is it really worth it? The journalist from Italy, still unwillingly, asked.

"Of course it's worth it." Arthur's face was serious, his eyes revealed firmness, he looked around at the Australasian onlookers, word by word, and said calmly: "Australasia does not want war to happen, but it has never been afraid of war.

After friendly negotiations with Britain and France, Arthur was also very generous. Arthur promised to transport 200,000 troops to Europe every two months, starting in July, and to keep the Australasian Expeditionary Force at around 600,000 until December.

This also meant that there were only two powers left to stand alone: Russia, which participated in the partition of Poland, and the island nation that had an alliance treaty with Germany and Italy and competed with Australasia.

A small British newspaper curiously squatted at a recruitment point set up on the outskirts of Sydney.

Therefore, in the agreement to send troops from Australasia, Britain and France also specifically mentioned that at least one-third of the expeditionary force should be Australasian people.

In addition to the admirable national beliefs of the Australasian people, we have to agree that they may have placed more trust in their Emperor Arthur than in God. ”

This also means that Australasia will have to send at least 200,000 native troops to Europe plus 400,000 colonial troops before December.

The inclusion of key words such as Australasia and Arthur, as well as the exaggerated figures and novel ideas published in the newspaper, made the newspaper one of the most famous newspapers of 1936 in an instant.

Now that war has been declared, Arthur is no longer hiding.

After many years, Arthur once again became a hot figure among the British people.

Coupled with the words that Arthur mentioned Queen Victoria's will in an interview, as well as protecting the personal safety and property safety of the British people as a former member of the British royal family, the British people's favor towards Arthur has also risen infinitely.

And this report was also accompanied by the best-selling newspaper of the day, and was spread to the major colonies of the British Empire, and even to European countries and even the world.

But if the island nations do not enter the war, the situation in Europe will become that of the four great powers encircling Germany and Italy. Britain, France, and Australia were responsible for containing the German Empire, so that Austria and Italy could fight each other.

Whether or not the island nations enter the war is also very important for Europe.

After all, the ideology of the island nation is extremely radical, because of its small territory and poor mineral resources, they can only choose to expand abroad.

With the foil of Edward VIII some time ago, if Arthur was the king of England at this time, Arthur's prestige would have reached its peak.

Germany, Italy, and the islands were not negotiating, and Arthur was watching for news of the islands' entry into the war.

The news of Australasia's entry into the war definitely shocked Europe and even the whole world.

On 14 June, after several days of preparation, the first shipment of weapons and equipment to Europe was officially loaded from Australasia.

Because the entry of the island countries into the war was also important to Europe, the governments of Germany and Italy also contacted their respective ambassadors to the island countries and held lengthy discussions with the governments of the island countries.

Britain and France are not stupid either, they know that Australasia also controls the Philippines and Kalimantan.

On 10 June, Arthur signed a national mobilization order, announcing a general military mobilization throughout Australasia.

Except for Antarctica, which is uninhabited in the snowy and snowy world, the remaining six continents have regions or governments that are enemies of Germany and Italy.

In addition to the European mainland, Germany and Italy had only a small part of Africa owned by Italy.

For Arthur, it no longer matters whether the island nation enters the war or not.

The extent of the territory of the enemy that Germany and Italy had to contend with included the Anglo-French-Austrian mainland in Europe, most of North America, a small part of South America, most of Africa, all of Oceania, and part of Asia.

What does this mean? The Australasian people were unconditionally obedient to Arthur's general mobilization order. They may have objections to the war, but they would never oppose Arthur's general mobilization order because of such objections.

Once the island nation enters the war, it will definitely contain a considerable part of the Australasian legion. Australasia could also logically reduce the number of troops supporting Europe, which turned into a war between Britain, France, Austria, and Germany and Italy.

But as a responsible country, I believe it is important for us to intervene in this war to prevent more families from suffering unnecessary casualties as a result of this war.

Although Austria is currently in a state of residual blood, judging from the combat effectiveness displayed by the Italian Army, it is no problem to fight with Italy.

Along with the interview, Arthur's remarks were quickly published in the latest major news stories and quickly published and reprinted by major media outlets around the world.

Surprisingly, there are five such recruitment points in Sydney. This also represents a horrific statistic, with around 170,000 people signing up for the army in Sydney in 24 hours.

If it were not for the exaggerated war potential of Germany, such a war would have been unequal.

The island nation is Australasia's biggest competitor in the Pacific, which means that the two countries are destined to have a war.

According to the agreement with Britain and France, the first Australasian soldiers were to sail to Europe in early July.

There may be Australasian people who fall in this war, but Australasia will not be afraid of war, and we will be staunch guardians of world peace. ”

The armament would travel from Australasia through the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea to the southern coast of France.

In order to protect this batch of weapons and equipment, in the waters of the Indian Ocean, the Australasian Navy will accompany the protection.

If it is the Philippine and Kalimantan troops transporting, let alone 600,000, even if 1.6 million, it is just cannon fodder with little effect.

In addition to being shocked that Australasia entered the war so quickly, European countries are also wondering whether the island countries will fulfill the alliance with Germany and Italy and declare war directly on Australasia.

In fact, this issue is not only curious about those countries that are still neutral, but also about Germany, Italy, Britain and France.

If we want peace, Australasia can be a great power that is outside the European continent and avoid the huge toll of war.

If you add Australasia, which has already entered the war, Germany and Italy are already half the world.

After passing through the Suez Canal, the Royal Navy of the British Empire will work with the French Navy to protect these important weapons and equipment.

In Europe, a term that has become more and more recognizable is the title of the Emperor of Australasia, Arthur the Great.

I am afraid we have to admit that under the leadership of Arthur the Great, the Australasian people have become a new great people.

In order to win over the island nations, Germany and Italy have also done their best. If there is a map of the spheres of influence of the various powers, it can be seen that Germany and Italy are single-handedly against Britain, France and Austria, which is simply single-handedly half the world.

Even if it had a large number of advanced weapons supported by Britain, France and Australia, it would not be surprising that Austria would suppress Italy.

This represents not only the recognition of Arthur's status as Emperor Arthur, but also the recognition of Arthur's achievements in Australasia.

Within 24 hours of the general mobilization order issued by Emperor Arthur of Australasia, a whopping 34,000 people signed up at an ordinary recruitment point in Sydney.

The foreign media, which interviewed Arthur that day, were also keeping an eye on the military mobilization in Australasia.

On the day of the national mobilization order, the foreign media were horrified to discover that the recruitment sites in Australasian cities were already full.

In the next day's newspaper content, the newspaper clearly wrote: "Although the English and Australasian are very similar, their national beliefs are completely different.

But alas, Arthur is the emperor of Australasia on the other side of the world. The British people could only maintain a high level of favorability towards Arthur, and regretted that Arthur's father was the youngest son of Queen Victoria, and the succession to the throne was much behind that of Edward VII.

There are even quite a few British newspapers and media outlets that have made bold speculations. They boldly guessed that if it was Arthur who succeeded to the British throne at that time, then what would the British Empire look like at this time?

Will it continue the glory of the Victorian era, or create a new Arthurian era, or will it be a defeat in the war and the empire will eventually fall?
