The Rise Of Australasia

Speaking of the current system of Royal Guards and royal guards, it is actually somewhat complex and redundant.

Overall, the Royal Guard is responsible for the security of the Royal Palace, while the royal guards are responsible for the safety of royal family members.

Due to the construction of the new palace, the scale of both the guards and royal guards has expanded, currently reaching 3600 and 1200 people, respectively.

Because the guards and royal guards are responsible for different areas, during Arthur's travels, such a special scene can be seen, with a certain number of both guards and royal guards following.

If you count the Guard Division responsible for protecting the capital's security, there are as many as three armed forces responsible for protecting the royal family's safety, which is a bit too complicated.

In Arthur's plan, the Royal Guard and royal guards will eventually merge into a single force, dedicated to protecting the security of the palace and royal family members.

However, due to the tight schedule at present, the integration work of the guards and royal guards will have to wait until the future, with progress expected before the completion of the New Capital.

After the travel arrangements were more or less prepared, Arthur also had to make certain arrangements for the government's work in advance.

Some major events still need to be in constant contact with the government, as Arthur is the person who handles major affairs after all.

Apart from this, all other national affairs are left to the government to handle, with Prime Minister Kent fully responsible, and Arthur is quite confident.

Moreover, with the Guard Division protecting the security of the capital, Arthur can return to Sydney at any time in case of any emergencies.

In order to ensure Arthur's safety, the route of Arthur's trip has never been made public, and most of the travel routes are decided temporarily.

After leaving Sydney, the entire travel team took a special train, preparing to head to Melbourne first and then westward to inspect the industrial base of Australasia.

As the second-largest city in Australasia, Melbourne's domestic and international reputation is still very high.

Among the many inspection targets for Arthur, Melbourne is also included. Arthur is very familiar with this already large city.

Located in the south of Victoria State, like Sydney, Melbourne is also a coastal city.

This is also a characteristic of immigrant countries like Australasia, where all the capitals of other states, including Adelaide, Perth, and Newcastle, are all coastal cities with sizable ports.

Melbourne and Sydney, these twin cities of Australasia, hold extremely important positions in the history of Australia.

Before the establishment of the Australian Principality, the scale and development level of these two cities were on par with each other, and both have been the largest cities in the Australian Region.

However, after the establishment of the Duchy, Sydney's development has more advantages compared to Melbourne, and has now surpassed Melbourne by a large margin.

But for Australasia, these two cities are both very large cities, with current population sizes of over 2 million, and Sydney's population size is even close to 3 million.

It's, in fact, a unique phenomenon in Australasia. Most of the population of Australasia lives in the Australian Region, and most of the Australian population lives in the Southeast.

And most of the population in the Southeast lives in the two cities of Sydney and Melbourne, as well as the areas where these two cities are located.

Although the itinerary of Arthur's trip was not made public, and there was no news about where he would go.

However, the king's conspicuous entourage quickly attracted the attention of a large number of Australasians, causing thousands of people to gather and cheer for him.

Arthur decided not to hide anymore, waving to the people and heading to the port for inspection under their watchful eyes.

Accompanying Arthur on his inspection were the Governor of Victoria State, the Mayor of Melbourne, and numerous government officials.

As one of the largest cities in Australasia, Melbourne's port naturally attracts a large number of ships to dock, with the throughput of port goods ranking second in Australasia, looking very prosperous and spectacular.

Although Sydney is the capital of Australasia, the government takes a fair attitude in the development of the two cities, encouraging them to develop according to their own circumstances.

Of course, in addition to the endless cargo ships coming and going, Melbourne's port also has a large number of cruise ships and foreign tourists.

As one of the most economically developed cities in Australasia, Melbourne not only attracts foreign immigrants but also a large number of foreign tourists.

It is worth mentioning that, compared to Sydney's port, Melbourne's port is more commercially oriented, with few military ships coming and going, and more civilian cargo ships and cruise ships.

If one were to start from the perspective of commercial ports, the size of Melbourne's port would be larger than that of Sydney's port.

As for the development of the port, Arthur doesn't really have any good suggestions. After all, these government officials are the professionals, and all Arthur does is guide the direction.

That is actually the most appropriate structure for a government. If a monarch has to get involved in every aspect of development, the country's progress is bound to be limited.

That is also the cleverness of Arthur, who holds great power but leaves professional matters to professionals, and not interfering with their work is the best support for these professionals.

Of course, while giving these officials tremendous power, Arthur is also responsible for controlling the final outcome.

Those who do not perform well will naturally not have any political achievements, and the likelihood of further promotion is slim. For those who are corrupt, there are the Intelligence Department and the House of Representatives to supervise them.
