Chapter 970: Chapter 727: Special Visit (2/3 Update)

The successful organization of the World Airplane Exposition finally gave Arthur the leisure to prepare for the establishment of the two kingdoms in North America.

In addition to the already decided Kingdom of California, another kingdom was named the United Kingdom of the West Coast, with its capital located in Seattle, the largest city in the state of Washington.

The reason for choosing this location was that Seattle, being close to the sea, could develop maritime areas, and had greater prospects for urban development.

Moreover, Seattle was the largest city in the northwest region of the United States, with its population size and economy ranking among the top in the United Kingdom.

Of course, due to the originally sparse population of the state of Washington, Seattle’s population certainly could not compare with Los Angeles, currently housing just over 300,000 people.

ned, but it had not yet been decided which of the two young boys would become the king of which country.

...

To ensure fairness, Arthur adopted the simplest method–drawing lots to determine the territories for Peter and George.

The final result was that Peter became the King of California, and George became the King of the United Kingdom of the West Coast.

Both boys had no objections to this drawing result, and the final distribution outcome was thus settled.

Considering their ages, Peter would be the first to grasp power. As George was still younger, he would have to wait a few more years, which would also be a good opportunity to learn some political balancing skills, preparing himself for his role as a king.

After arranging the territories for the two young boys, Arthur turned his attention to William and Anna Miller’s marital affairs.

ily and heirs to the throne. It was impossible for William to marry a commoner, as doing so could potentially cause their descendants to lose the right to succession to the throne.

But Anna Miller had not so many restrictions. With Arthur’s support, she could freely choose her ideal husband, and Arthur would ensure that Anna Miller had enough assets.

Of course, the two boys soon to be kings would not be an exception. Although they were about to possess two vast kingdoms, they were still his children, and naturally, the gifts for them also had to be prepared.

Of course, there was another reason—to make the two little ones acutely aware of the terrible situation the United States had previously faced.

To quickly resolve the conflicts within the United States, they had to cut through the Gordian knot and directly exclude the black population from the rule.

However, this would clearly saddle them with a large burden and have a significant impact on the reputation of a Monarch.

While most European nations were racist, none would admit it openly, after all, among the Caucasians, there were quite a few who are saintly.

The best approach was to let the government take the blame and have it enact policies that abolished the legal status of black people.

In the worst-case scenario, they could simply dismiss the government and the two little ones could even gain prestige through this action.

This was also a part of political tactics, which the two young ones needed to learn and apply personally to grasp.

Plainly speaking, politics cannot be fully understood just from books. Only by experiencing it firsthand and finding solutions to political dilemmas can one’s political experience be enhanced.

After the two youngsters took power, they would face not only the wily politicians but also the few capitalists on the West coast of the United States.

Steering the nation in the direction they envisioned would definitely require an enormous effort.

Although they had Arthur as a backer, he certainly could not take personal charge of developing their nation.

Even Arthur believed that some setbacks would make them better and that these were necessary experiences for becoming competent rulers.

ach Monarchical country in Europe and inspect all potential engagement partners themselves.

After all, there were many private gatherings among European royal families, and many were solely for the purpose of royal family members finding their desired mates.

Historically, many royals had found their spouses this way, although more often through arranged marriages by their elders.

William and Anna, of course, understood that Arthur was already being quite lenient. Without further ado, they followed Queen Mary to Europe to begin their tour.
