The Rise of Australasia

Because after President Charles, the next in line to succeed the presidency was their beloved and highly supported former Secretary of Commerce, the current Vice President Hoover.

Regardless of President Hoover’s historical reputation, at the present time in the United States, Hoover was seen as the savior of the country, and the American people generally believed that President Hoover could lead them out of the economic crisis.

After all, the American people viewed President Hoover as someone who had already demonstrated his abilities during his tenure at the Food Bureau and as Secretary of Commerce, by not only properly aiding war refugees but also by building the economy, which was very suitable for the United States under the current economic crisis.

The economic crisis in the United States was characterized by a shortage of grain and a lack of money, which were exactly the tasks of the Food Bureau and the Department of Commerce.

In any case, in the midst of such complex events and disputes, Hoover still managed to become the President of America, successfully taking control of this vast country.

Hoover also received strong support from the Republican Party, which hoped that he could resolve this economic crisis, achieve victory again in the next presidential election and the midterm elections, and create a leading advantage for the Republican Party.

The continuous drama in the United States naturally also reached the ears of countries around the world. To be honest, Arthur was quite concerned when Vice President Charles took over the presidency.

After all, Charles Dawes did have some abilities, at least much better than President Coolidge.

But upon hearing that President Charles had voluntarily resigned and that the new Vice President Hoover had successfully taken over to become the President of America, Arthur instantly felt relieved.

Even if Hoover’s reputation in the United States was good, it couldn’t hide the fact that President Hoover lacked abilities.

This ruler, who was historically known as an incompetent President and the worst President, had a poor reputation in history due to the high hopes the American people had for him, coupled with his ineffective measures during the economic crisis.

But the bad reputation of this world was almost entirely borne by President Coolidge, to the point that the term "Coolidge Bag" was coined to reflect how much the American people despised President Coolidge.

If the American people knew that the President Hoover they were expecting was even less capable than Coolidge, they would probably have a very interesting expression on their faces then.

In any case, Arthur felt relatively at ease with Hoover becoming the President of America. This indicated that during Hoover’s tenure, the United States would still remain chaotic and was unlikely to see any major improvements.

Like anyone else, Arthur was not an exception regarding Hoover becoming the President of America, after all, whoever could become the President of America was not a simple individual.

Those who could securely sit on the presidential throne were basically spokespersons supported by the two major parties and various consortia.

Apart from President Coolidge, who was discarded early due to his bad reputation, it was unlikely for other presidents to be defeated during their terms.

People like Charles, even if the presidential position fell into his hands, he would still worry about whether he could maintain his position.

After all, being the President of America was not an easy role; if one angered certain consortia, it was possible that the President of America could be assassinated the next day.

In a country where firearms were not prohibited, the continual assassination of presidents gives you an idea of the country’s order.

However, for various reasons, the United States could not possibly ban firearms, which also meant consortiums had various ways to check the President, turning the President into their spokesperson rather than the ruler of the country.

Nevertheless, out of courtesy, the European countries still conveyed congratulations to America, celebrating Hoover as the new President of America.

Luckily, when President Charles succeeded President Coolidge, the congratulatory messages from various countries were already being prepared.

Otherwise, congratulating two Presidents in just a few days would seem rather strange and comical.

Although it was clear that President Hoover would likely continue to be as ineffective as he had been in history, and after a few years, be rated by the furious American people as the worst President.

But there’s always an exception to everything, and no one knows exactly what Hoover, who took office early, will do, so keeping an eye on him was still necessary.

Arthur specifically ordered the Royal Security Intelligence Agency’s intelligence personnel in the United States to closely monitor President Hoover’s actions, constantly compile, and report the American Government’s measures during the economic crisis.

Experience tales at

Every additional day the United States stayed in the economic crisis, losses to the American economy were measured in the millions.

And with consecutive terms of two exceptionally poor Presidents, Coolidge and Hoover, the dissatisfaction of the American people with the government inevitably worsened, deepening the domestic rift within the United States.

Truth be told, the United States was already rather easy to deal with at this point. As long as the United Kingdom and Australasia joined forces, the fall of the United States was only a matter of time.

Because the United States’ once-prized industry and economy had all entered a stage of collapse, and its finances were extremely tight.

In such a circumstance, even if the United States fought on its native land, it would be very difficult to win a war of attrition against the United Kingdom and Australasia.

Additionally, with various conflicts within the United States, it would be quite easy for the country to fall apart on its own, splitting up into several countries.

But the problem was that the United Kingdom clearly did not want to start a war at this time. After all, the losses suffered by the United Kingdom in the economic crisis were also very substantial, and if it provoked a war with the United States, the United Kingdom was not likely to gain much, but the losses would be inevitable.

However, if there was a good opportunity, the British certainly would not miss the chance to significantly weaken the United States.

Holding onto this thought, Arthur had been closely preparing for a military build-up in Australasia.

On February 3, 1927, in a secluded naval base north of Sydney.

The atmosphere here was distinctly different from the outside world, with not only the harbor area being completely cordoned off, but also no one allowed near.

If one’s view zoomed into the harbor, they could witness a grand ceremony taking place, one for the launch of two aircraft carriers.

In this secretive military harbor, two gigantic sea beasts quietly lay in the harbor, draped with flags of the Kingdom and the Navy, proving the allegiance of these two massive sea creatures.

A large number of navy officers and soldiers were continuously boarding these two behemoths. Many soldiers, while boarding, looked up proudly at the two aircraft carriers, their eyes reflecting pride and honor.

Not far from the dock, a military band was playing the anthem of the Australasian Royal Navy.

Defense Minister Thomas, accompanied by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, bid farewell to Arthur and boarded the two massive ships, waving to Arthur from their elevated position.

Long before the navy officers and soldiers boarded the ships, Arthur had already delivered a speech to thousands of navy soldiers, encouraging their contribution and praising the navy’s spirit.

As the view pulled away, the full appearance of the two sea behemoths was revealed. These two were Australasia’s latest types of aircraft carriers, the larger one on the left being named Hercules, of the Hercules class, while the slightly smaller one on the right was named Tornado, of the Hurricane class.

Watching the soldiers board the warships with pride and honor, Arthur nodded in approval, very satisfied with the gradual expansion of the naval size.

With these two powerful aircraft carriers. Australasia’s navy’s comprehensive combat capability would rank among the top three in the world.

Even though their number of main battleships paled in comparison to some Powers, they could even go toe-to-toe with the navies of other countries, apart from the United Kingdom, if it came down to an actual conflict.

Of course, the actual performance would still depend on the combat effectiveness of the airplanes equipped on the aircraft carriers. If the airplanes could effectively deal with the enemy’s battleships, then the combat strength of Australasia’s navy could be elevated to another level.

These two aircraft carriers were the product of a previous naval expansion program and had been under construction for nearly two years.

The pace of building two aircraft carriers in more than a year was still too slow, but after all, being the latest types of aircraft carriers, it was normal for them to require more time.

With the experience of constructing these two aircraft carriers, the pace of future naval expansion would accelerate.

Once the naval expansion plan was fully realized, it would be time for the Australasian Navy to proudly traverse the world.
