The Rise Of Australasia-Chapter 1079 - 807: Emperor Arthur of Australasia

For all Australasians, National Day in 1933 was exceptionally different.

On this ordinarily mundane day, because it was designated as the day of the Empire's establishment and the day when Arthur, the first Emperor of Australasia, ascended the throne, it became remarkably special.

Even before the new year arrived, that is, around Christmas of 1932, the area surrounding Saint Arthur Castle was already surrounded by domestic and foreign media.

The frenzied people had even congested Saint Arthur Castle before January arrived, and the reason for their madness was simply a very distant position during Arthur's coronation ceremony.

Just how crazy were the Australasians?

According to data from the Transportation Department, since December of the previous year, trains heading to Saint Arthur Castle were packed, and even adding several more trains did nothing to alleviate the situation.

The population of Saint Arthur Castle had just surpassed one million, yet the estimated number of people currently staying in the urban area had already exceeded 1.5 million.

This was extremely fatal for maintaining order in Saint Arthur Castle. Due to a shortage of police officers, the Capital Region had urgently requisitioned thousands of police from other states with the aim of maintaining order with utmost effort during Arthur's coronation ceremony.

The good news was that the public also understood how important the coronation ceremony was for Arthur. Although congestion was rampant everywhere, criminal incidents were rare. Whenever they did occur, they would be forcibly stopped by the heroic Australasians around them.

After all, life in Australasia had improved so much from before that people no longer needed to engage in petty thievery for their provisions.

Those currently engaged in criminal activities in Australasia were either foreign spies, sent specifically to wreak havoc within Australasia, or rioters who lived on the edge and never complied with the law.

Whether one type of person or the other, both were existences the Australasian Government could not tolerate. Faced with various criminal acts, Australasia also had rewards for acts of bravery.

Even if one were to be injured as a result of bravery, the government would cover the hero's medical expenses, along with additional subsidies and rewards.

This was also a major reason for the decline in crime rates in Australasia. As long as there were many people who were brave and willing to act heroically, coupled with government guidance and encouragement, it always deterred some petty criminals.

As time drew closer to January 10th, the grandeur of Saint Arthur Castle almost rivaled that of the two largest cities in Australasia.

For the officers, the establishment of the Empire also had great benefits for them. First and foremost, Arthur publicly declared that he would reward those who had made significant contributions to the establishment of the Empire, thus making the Aristocratic Classes of Australasia even more prosperous.

This had the officers looking forward to the grand rewards after the coronation ceremony and constantly speculating whether they could obtain the Title of Nobility they desired.

As time reached January 10th, 1933, the establishment ceremony of the Australasian Empire and the coronation ceremony of the Empire's first Emperor, Arthur, officially began.

The splendor of the coronation was unprecedented, with the fervent Australasians nearly filling the Square before the Palace of Nations.

For several kilometers around, roads were crowded with fervent and excited Australasians.

Media outlets once again issued heartfelt exclamations, "If at this moment Emperor Arthur commanded these People to wage war against any country, there is a very high probability that these citizens would comply without a second thought."

Yes, with the imminent establishment of the Empire, Arthur had also acquired a new title domestically and internationally, Emperor Arthur.

In The West, those commonly bestowed with the title of "the Great" were usually rulers who had created a particularly glorious era.

For example, the extremely famous Alexander the Great, whose empire also flourished for a time.

As the first Emperor of Australasia and the founder of the nation, as commonly spoken of, Arthur's coronation ceremony undoubtedly attracted a large domestic and international audience.

Conservatively estimated, there were at least a thousand cameras and video recorders on site, and The royal family and the government also each contacted filming teams, all to preserve this memorable moment of Australasia.

To leave a favorable impression for later generations, on the day of the coronation, Arthur was almost all smiles throughout the entire ceremony, performing one cumbersome ritual after another, like a marionette.

The one responsible for placing the crown on Arthur's head was naturally the largest Archbishop in Australasia, Archbishop Steed.

The distinguished guests attending Arthur's coronation included several European Kings, such as King George V of Britain, and several European Dukes, including the Grand Duke of Finland, Dmitry.

It could be said that virtually every Monarchical country in Europe sent important members from The royal family and the government to attend.

Multiple media reports on this grand occasion couldn't help but exclaim, "This is indeed a great day for Monarchism!"

Among the guests, the most prestigious identity was likely that of King George V of Britain.

In theory, since George V was Arthur's peer and was older than Arthur, and his country was more powerful than Arthur's, he could have opted not to attend in person.

But for some reason, George V, bringing along some of his Princes, indeed personally attended Arthur's coronation ceremony.
