The Rise of Australia
Chapter 615 Smart Choice
The current world trends are completely different from this period in history. Because of Arthur's interference, the monarchies of countries such as Germany, Russia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire still exist, and they are also countries with a certain degree of strength.
Although republican countries are also represented by France and the United States, both countries are in decline.
Compared with France and the United States, the United Kingdom and Australasia are obviously more promising. These two are actual monarchies.
And except for France and the United States, no republican country seems to be able to get on the stage, and there are even very few sub-powerful countries.
Monarchies are different. Let’s not mention the two great powers of Britain and Australia for the time being. The more famous old monarchies in Europe include the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, etc.
Oh, right. Italy, which no longer has any sense of existence, currently has a kingdom system and is a veritable monarchy.
Of all these monarchies, none seems to be weaker than Greece. This also made Cronus Alan Huberchin wonder whether his idea was wrong. Is the republican system of government really suitable for the country of Greece?
Although the former Kingdom of Greece failed in the war with Turkey, the Turkish army also defeated the armies of the great powers, and Greece's defeat was natural.
At least the current Second Republic of Greece dare not say that it can defeat Turkey. Can they really do better than the former Kingdom of Greece?
The biggest shortcoming of the republic is actually the efficiency of governance that gives Kronos the most headache.
Especially in Greece, a country where no political party has an advantage, a small issue can be argued for a long time. The parties refuse to give in to each other and even threaten to change the government at every turn.
The same policy has been implemented by other countries for a long time. Greece is still arguing in Congress and cannot take any practical action.
Under such circumstances, it is strange that Greece does not lag behind in development. After all, a country that is one step behind others cannot take advantage of the situation and develop smoothly.
Faced with a difficult choice, Kronos couldn't make up his mind and set his sights on his only confidant in the government, Petros Bastian, one of the two giants of the Democratic Party.
After receiving the summons from Kronos, Petros hurried to the President's Office. As soon as he opened the door, he was questioned by Kronos.
"Petros, do you think we should welcome back His Majesty the King?"
Petros did not answer directly, but thought carefully for a while before saying: "Mr. President, do you think our rule is more important or Greece's?"
This is a very important question for the leaders of any country, and the answer to this question is also related to the development of the Democratic Party and Greece.
Kronos was stunned. Although he kept talking about the development of Greece, wasn't it also for his own presidential throne?
If he had to choose one, he seemed to have no idea which one to choose.
Seeing that Kronos was speechless, Petros continued: "The current situation in the Republic has proven that, at least for Greece now, the Republic is a burden.
We have no dominant political parties, and the chaos within the government is even greater than during the Kingdom.
It is clear that the development of the country requires a unified voice, and currently we are completely unable to achieve that.
His Majesty the King obviously has the support of Britain and Australasia. In other words, His Majesty the King's restoration is something we cannot stop.
Mr. President, my suggestion is that we should look for a way out. Either submit to the rule of His Majesty the King, or leave the Greek political scene. "
If George II had fought alone, it would have been easy for the republicans in Greece to suppress the royalists.
After all, the king has been driven away, and the forces loyal to the king have also been purged during this period, and their influence on the government is not that serious.
But if George II still had Britain and Australasia behind him, this would not be something a small Greek government could resist.
Unless there are two powers of the same level behind Greece, who can do it in the current situation?
You can’t expect France and the United States to support the current Greek Republic at the same time! Although they are both republics, these two countries are not so kind.
Europe's monarchies may be friends, but republics don't have many good relations with each other.
"Do you mean that we directly obey His Majesty the King's rule?" Kronos asked.
"Yes and no, Mr. President." Petros explained: "If we cannot prevent His Majesty the King's restoration, then obeying His Majesty the King's rule is inevitable.
But we cannot sit back and watch Greece continue to restore the kingdom period, at least the monarch cannot control too much power.
We should follow the example of Britain and establish an alternative republic on the premise of monarchy. "
Monarchy and constitutional monarchy are not the same thing. The previous Greek kings had too much power, which was not a good thing for the development of Greece.
It would also be a good thing for the current Greek parties if the power of the Greek king could be limited and more executive power returned to the government and parliament.
"Will the British and Australasians agree? They put His Majesty the King back on the throne, not to make him a constitutional monarch!" Kronos continued to ask.
"This kind of monarchy is acceptable to the Greeks, Mr. President. I believe that the United Kingdom and Australasia will also care about the public opinion of the Greeks. A stable monarchy is what they want to see." Petros said with a smile. : “His Majesty the King can work with the UK and Australasia, why can’t we?
I believe they are also willing to see forces in Greece that are more loyal to them. For the sake of the Democratic Party and for the sake of Greece as a whole, we can definitely cooperate with the British and Australasians. "
The fact is indeed the case. Although the British and Australasians were willing to put George II back on the throne, neither Arthur nor George V valued the royal power of George II.
The biggest purpose of the two people is to increase their reputation by relying on the European Royal Family's Joint Declaration. A stable monarchy is what they want to see, not the kind of extreme monarchy.
The proposal put forward by Kronos was quickly responded to by Britain and Australasia. After all, being able to push George II to the throne through peaceful means is much better than using war.
However, before the restoration of George II, Cronus, with the consent of Britain and Australasia, took the lead in amending the Greek constitution to impose certain restrictions on the rights of the monarchy.
More powers were given to parliament and the government. The Greek kings had completely lost their military rights, leaving only partial executive and legislative powers.
However, the legislative power is also subject to parliamentary supervision. Laws established by the king must be implemented with the consent of the parliament. This also prevents future Greek monarchs from amending the constitution again after taking power.
After amending the constitution, Cronus was also very sensible and quickly convened the Congress and held a long discussion on whether to restore the monarchy.
The United Kingdom and Australasia also made efforts at the same time, uniting the royalist parties and the Democratic Party in Greece, and soon got the Greek Parliament to declare the restoration of the constitutional monarchy with a support rate of more than 60%.
At the same time, the Greek Parliament was renamed the Greek Parliament, the Greek Republican Government was renamed the Greek Cabinet Government, and the flag of the Kingdom of Greece was restored.
Another change in the Greek regime has put the world's attention on this country.
This is not good news for republics around the world, because it represents one more point of power for the monarchy.
Many media outlets began to speculate frequently about the regime change behind Greece, and even published all kinds of more outrageous news.
However, the European royal families are still very happy to see the restoration of the Greek royal family. Because of the push from the United Kingdom and Australasia, the royal families of various countries also have more trust in the joint declaration of European royal families that they have signed, because it can indeed help them regain power when they lose their throne.
This was good news for both Arthur and George V. George V slightly repaired the relationship with the German nobles, which was helpful to his reputation among European royal families.
The one who benefited the most was naturally Arthur. As the initiator of the European Royal Family Declaration, he also defended the German royal family, the Russian royal family, etc., and helped George II restore the throne. Arthur's reputation and status among the European royal families were already very high. Marriage is also frequently inquired about by royal families in many countries.
Obviously, in the eyes of the royal families of most European monarchies, marriage with the current Australasia is a very good deal.
Australasia is a powerful monarchy and a very powerful power.
Marrying with Australasia will not only increase their international influence, but also having a powerful ally will ensure that they have someone to help them when they lose power.
In addition, the high wealth of the Australasian royal family is also one of the reasons why these royal families are attracted.
Although currently the only assets of the royal family on the surface are the banks of the royal consortium, military industries, etc.
But the annual profits from banks and the military industry alone are as high as tens of millions of Australian dollars, and the total assets of the royal consortium have even reached hundreds of millions of Australian dollars.
Simply looking at the price ratio of gold, the total asset value of the royal family consortium alone is as high as 5 trillion yuan, and the actual conversion ratio will only be higher.
After all, the current Australian dollar has not experienced currency depreciation, and the difference may be dozens or even hundreds of times.
Relying solely on the assets of the royal consortium, the Australasian royal family has been able to compete for the throne of the world's richest royal family.
