    Currently, the political party with the most influence in New Zend is the Alliance Party.


    Firstly, most members of the Alliance Party are retired soldiers and officials from New Zend, and even some current officials.


    Although most of them hold minor positions, they do have more say than the majority of workers in the New Zend Labor Party.


    Secondly, both New Zenders and Australians are descendants of mostly British immigrants and a small number of European immigrants, and although their different living areas have led to different national names, they can still be considered the same group of people.


    Many New Zenders admire the current development pace of Australians and the excellent monarch, Arthur.


    That is the reason why they support the Alliance Party, as once New Zend joins Australia, like several decades ago, they too could enjoy the development facilitated by an outstanding monarch, along with the Australians.


    As a result, the Alliance Party applied to the British Empire to join Australia shortly after the establishment of the Australian Principality, but they were refused by the British Government at the time.


    This caused the Alliance Party to lose some of its reputation, and some New Zenders were even disappointed in their ns to merge with Australia.


    However, with Arthur bing the Governor of New Zend, the idea of unite with Australia has gained more poprity, and the Alliance Party has risen back to more prominence than the New Zend Labor Party.


    Looking at the information on the New Zend Colony, Arthur is deep in thought.


    As it stands, the hope of Australia annexing New Zend is significant, and perhaps even turning New Zend into a region of Australia, achievingplete annexation.


    But there is one problem: Arthur cannot directly instigate the New Zenders, and the issue of New Zend still has to be solved by the New Zenders themselves.


    While direct Australian involvement is inconvenient, the Alliance Party seems to be a perfect power, being a political party with influence within New Zend while also advocating for a merger with Australia.


    With this in mind, Arthur decides to meet with the leader of the Alliance Party at some point and indirectly instigate the people of New Zend through the party.


    On April 7,1902, after more than ten days of investigation and statistics, the Royal Relief Committee finally determined the first round of relief ns for New Zend.


    Compared to the relief ns in Australia, the relief n for New Zend resembles abination of the first and second rounds of relief ns in Australia.


    The Royal Relief Committee will provide financial assistance of five pounds to all families in the whole of New Zend whose annual ie is below thirty pounds and provide them with new job opportunities.


    So where do these job opportunitiese from? In addition to New Zend’s existing factories and construction facilities that require positions, Arthur has provided these New Zenders with a new option – working in Australia.


    Australia is not too far from New Zend, only about a two to three-day voyage away.


    For those who cannot find work in New Zend, going to Australia for work is a good option.


    Just getting the colonial government to agree to this policy took a great deal of effort from Arthur.


    However, the result was excellent, as under the pressure of Arthur’s position as Governor and the threat of the nearby guards, the colonial government agreed to the proposal quickly.


    Arthur’s actions are not without purpose, as allowing some New Zenders to work in Australia can also strengthen the connection between New Zend and Australia.


    These New Zenders who work in Australia can also share their experiences in Australia with their families and rtives in New Zend during their annual holidays, arousing the interest of more people in Australia.


    After being subtly influenced, is it still a concern that New Zenders wouldn’t want to merge with Australia?


    For those who work in Australia, if New Zend and Australia could merge into one unified country, their work would be much smoother.


    In the long run, joining Australia would be a wee development for these people living and working in New Zend.


    The eptance of New Zenders to work in Australia is not high, as after all, it involves leaving their homnd for another country.


    Moreover, the per capita ie in Australia is not high, and although most of the work ie has already exceeded the per capita ie, it’s only around eleven or twelve pounds, which is approximately the same as some upations in New Zend. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    However, they are very epting of the relief funds provided by the Relief Committee. Within just three days, thousands of low-ie New Zenders in Wellington alone received help from the Royal Relief Committee.


    When expanding the scope to the whole of New Zend, approximately eight thousand people received assistance, and the number is still growing rapidly.


    As the saying goes, epting gifts brings obligation. After receiving aid from the Royal Relief Committee, these New Zenders became more weing of Arthur and the members of themittee and even began to spread the story of Australia on their own initiative.


    Arthur didn’t expect this. Under the spontaneous propaganda of these New Zenders who have received relief, more and more New Zenders are having a good impression of Australia, and the support rate of the Alliance Party is getting higher and higher.


    Some New Zenders have even started discussing the possibility of Arthur bing their monarch, showing how popr he is in New Zend.


    Since this is the case, Arthur doesn’t mind pushing harder.


    Under Arthur’s guidance, the Royal Relief Committee’s relief n added another item – providing food to low-ie individuals.


    Since five pounds of funds are still being given away, the amount of food provided is not much, only arge bag of flour and five pounds of mutton.


    Due to the thriving animal husbandry industry in New Zend, obtaining enough relief food is quite easy.


    Especially beef and mutton, the prices of meat in New Zend are very cheap, particrly in bulk purchases.


    As a result, the updated relief n costs are not high, with the additional expense being less than one pound per person.


    However, this again wins over the hearts of the New Zenders.


    Providing financial aid, food, and job opportunities, these New Zenders have never experienced such a relief n.


    As the saying goes, withoutparison, there is no harm. Although the New Zend colonial government has made great efforts to revive the economy, their efforts seemckluster in front of Arthur’s relief n that provides money, food, and work.
