The Rise of Australia

The elective sultanate is actually the integration of multiple indigenous sultans into one country, giving these sultanates the opportunity to control this large country.

On the surface, it seems to be for fairness and justice, but in fact it gives Australasia the opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of this country.

To put it simply, it is not easy for anyone to be elected as the Sultan, and it is not easy to achieve it just by relying on the efforts of the sultanate.

At this time, interference and support from the outside world become very important. For the soon-to-be-established Sultanate, which country's support and influence will be far greater than that of Australasia?

The attitude of Australasia has become a necessary and sufficient condition for whether these small sultans can be elected as big sultans.

In other words, when these sultanates support someone to become a great sultan, they also have to consider the attitude from Australasia.

There will be no peace within this large sultanate that was forcibly merged into one by multiple Sudanese countries. There are many opportunities for Australasia to intervene in this large sultanate. There is even a high probability that these sultanates are begging Australasia to intervene.

After hearing Minister Daize's explanation, the sultans of many sultanates began to think deeply, and Muhammad was also thinking about whether he could profit from such a system.

But after thinking about it, it is easy and difficult to become a great sultan. As long as you have the support of Australasia, it is easy to become a Grand Sultan, but the reverse is simply impossible.

Thinking of this, Muhammad looked at Minister Daize and asked very respectfully: "Minister Daize, can we really choose an island?"

"Of course." Minister Daize smiled and nodded, expressing Australasia's attitude.

In fact, if he had to choose one of the three islands in the Dutch East Indies to be given to the indigenous people, Arthur wanted to choose Kalimantan.

Although Kalimantan is larger, it is farther away from Australasia and can act as a buffer to the north.

Although Sumatra Island has the same factors, it is close to the Strait of Malacca after all. If you want to control the Strait of Malacca, Sumatra Island must also be controlled.

Needless to say, Java Island is the island closest to Australasia in the Dutch East Indies, and it is also the one with the highest developable value among the three islands in the Dutch East Indies.

Although later generations of Indonesia wanted to move the capital from Java Island to Kalimantan, this does not mean that the development value of Java Island is not high.

The real reason for them to move the capital is actually that Java Island has accommodated more than 150 million people, which has reached the maximum population limit of Java Island.

Such problems do not exist in Australasia today. It is no exaggeration to say that even a hundred years from now, such a problem will still not exist.

The mainland of Australasia alone is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people. Together with New Guinea, Sulawesi, New Zealand and other existing areas, it can accommodate a population of at least 500 million.

How long will it take for Australasia's population to grow to 500 million? Arthur is not clear about this issue, but there should be no hope of achieving it within his own reign.

If the population of Java Island is around 20 million, this is a relatively reasonable value and can also maximize the development value of Java Island.

As long as Java Island is emptied of its indigenous people, Java Island will be able to transform into another granary of Australasia and become one of the most important non-indigenous regions by virtue of its superior soil.

Australasia, with the addition of two new large islands, Java and Sumatra, can easily accommodate a population of six to seven billion. This is the basic base for becoming a superpower.

Of course, this kind of territory has almost reached its limit. Because of Australasia's geographical location, there are not many neighboring countries nearby.

If Australasia wanted to expand, it would have the British Straits Settlements to the north, which it would have been impossible to capture before World War II.

To the south is Antarctica, and Australasia is already making strong claims, so I believe the resistance will not be too great.

Real land expansion can only be done in the east and west, but to the west is Africa, which has been divided up by the great powers.

To the east is Hawaii, which is currently occupied by the United States. It is not easy to truly separate the land from the United States.

This also means that after the conflict in the Dutch East Indies, apart from super-large wars, Australasia will basically not launch external expansion wars.

Just consuming the current land base is enough for Australasia to stabilize its status as a superpower competing for three out of five.

Coupled with the development of technology and population, even if the world situation remains unchanged, Australasia will have the possibility of stabilizing the top three in the world.

Although it was stated on the surface that they could choose one of the three islands, in fact, intelligence personnel had revealed that they wanted the indigenous people to choose Kalimantan.

Using Kalimantan as a buffer area, an island defense chain of Sumatra, Java, Royal Territory, Sulawesi, and New Guinea can also be established in the south.

Coupled with the Pacific Territory and New Zealand in the east, Australasia only needs to defend the Indian Ocean in the west, and there is no risk to its homeland.

The complete capture of the Dutch East Indies meant that the mainland of Australasia became as safe as the United States.

Even under the premise that the United States and Britain are competing for hegemony, the security of the American homeland is not as good as that of Australasia.

To the north and south of the Americans, there is Canada, a dominion that fears the United States, and the existence of the enemy Mexico. However, Australasia has no land neighbors, and the only maritime neighbors are the British Straits Settlements, the Great Sultanate and the Philippines under its own control. The level of security is There is no doubt about it.

The final result is also clear. Nur Brady Hakala and Muhammad were both smart people, so it was naturally impossible for them to go against Australasia's hints and choose other islands.

Although the other indigenous people are unwilling, the current situation is beyond their ability to resist, and they can only be forced to accept the fact that the entire tribe must move to Kalimantan.

Of course, in order to appease these indigenous people, Minister Dai Ze also adhered to the spirit of giving a sweet date with a stick, and appropriately gave some benefits to these indigenous Sudanese.

These include the first sultanate to complete the relocation of its entire ethnic group, access to food resources worth 2 million Australian dollars, and a portion of the population of those indigenous forces that were annihilated.

The second and third received food support of AU$1 million and AU$500,000 respectively, using their rankings to encourage these indigenous sultanates to relocate their entire population to Kalimantan as much as possible.

The last indigenous sultan to complete the migration of his entire family will lose the right to be elected as the grand sultan for the first time.

This also made some sultans who wanted to become great sultans couldn't help but cheer up. Although they were unwilling to move to Kalimantan, they could not fail to take action while others were moving.

Of course, in order to give the indigenous people a bottom line, Minister Daize announced that the relocation time for the indigenous people would be three years.

Three years from now, any indigenous people who stay in Sumatra and Java will be regarded as rioters and will be attacked indiscriminately by the Australasian army.

In order to improve the efficiency of these indigenous people's relocation, Minister Daze also said that Australasia will provide transport ships that will continue to travel between Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan to help these indigenous Sudanese people relocate.

The only remaining indigenous forces are the Sultanate of Solo, the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, the Sultanate of Zhanbi, the Sultanate of Aceh, the Sultanate of Kutai, the Sultanate of Burungan and the Sultanate of Samfa. Of course, there are also Muhammad, a total of eight indigenous forces.

How these eight indigenous forces should be evenly distributed on Kalimantan has also become a matter of dispute among these indigenous groups.

The Kutai Sultanate and the Bulungan Sultanate are relatively large in area, and because they are located on the island of Kalimantan, they need to cede some land to compensate those sultanates who have relocated their families.

They dare not disobey Minister Dai Ze's order, but they will also receive a batch of food as compensation, as well as the population of the exterminated indigenous forces to balance the population gap between the several indigenous forces.

This is also Arthur's balancing policy, to minimize the strength gap between these indigenous sultans and ensure that one sultan will not dominate the family and monopolize the position of the great sultan.

The good news is that the population of these sultanates is actually not very different. They are basically around one or two million, and their armies are only one or two thousand people.

The population of those sultanates that were destroyed became the benefits of attracting these sultanates. With these freely distributed populations, Australasia could also better control these scattered small sultanates.

Before the sultanates completed their migration, Australasia assisted in managing the internal affairs of this large sultanate to ensure peace among the sultanates.

These indigenous countries simply do not have the strength to refuse, and for the sake of those populations, they will not refuse.

After all, the biggest power gap between the indigenous people is population. The gap between their technology and knowledge levels is not large, and their population is the biggest factor that enhances their strength.

Even the most special Muhammad wanted to gain some population to strengthen his position at this time.

Because he only commanded one brigade and did not have any population base. Without a population, there is no income and food, and whether it can support an army is a question.

This also means that he must establish his own indigenous power in order to support his army and seek a higher status.

The good news is that compared to other pure-blooded indigenous people, most of his men are mixed-race people, so there is no need to worry about them defecting to other indigenous forces.

After all, mixed-race people are quite special both in the Netherlands and among the indigenous people. It is even an exaggeration to say that this is a race that is looked down upon by both sides.

If the army commanded by Muhammad did not still have a certain fighting capacity, I am afraid that his army would have been divided up by the indigenous sultans.
