Chapter 600 - 460: Diplomatic Means and Checks and Balances

    ording to the Ministry of Defense’s statistics on soldiers’ merits, the uing enfeoffment ceremony will give the country at least ten more real nobles.


    Even more honorary titles like "Sir" will be granted, at least a hundred, significantly expanding Austrsia’s aristocratic ss.


    In addition to granting noble titles for military merit, there are also grants for political achievements, scientific research contributions, and others.


    Arthur values the soldiers’ military aplishments, but he also values the contributions of government officials,mon people, and scientists.


    All former government officials and scientists, and even allmon people in Austrsia, will be rewarded and honored with medals and noble titles based on their contributions to the nation.


    Along with these government officials and scientists, Austrsia will add hundreds of nobles at once,pletely consolidating their aristocratic ss’s power and ensuring its existence.


    In a monarchical country, upward mobility channels for all sses are crucial. Ensuring lower sses have an opportunity to rise is essential for maintaining order in any country.


    Austrsia’s channels for upward mobility are simple: anyone can, based on their contributions to the country and the royal family, receivend, funds, medals, and even noble titles.


    In this way, Austrsia may seem like a feudal state, but in reality, it offers a fairer treatment to its people than many supposedly "free and democratic" countries, reflecting true justice and equality.


    Although the aristocracy is thergest ruling ss in Austrsia, any ss can be nobility, representing hope for all to rise in status.


    For example, in Austrsia, even farmers and herdsmen can receive substantial rewards and even noble titles for their contributions, such as developing innovative agricultural and pastoral techniques.


    As long as all sses and citizens in Austrsia have the hope of bing nobility, they will not despise the aristocracy but instead work towards making contributions to the country and the royal family and eventually achieve noble status.


    Resentment against the nobility and those in power arises when all avenues for upward mobility are monopolized by those at the top.


    When people can no longer change their status despite their efforts, unrest among the lower sses is inevitable.


    Thus, Arthur has specifically dered that every Austrsian citizen is eligible for noble status provided they make relevant contributions.


    The aristocratic ss is open to all Austrsians, with rewards and recognition for their contributions to the nation.


    This is Arthur’s promise to all Austrsians. As long as themoners’ path to upward mobility is not monopolized, the aristocratic system will remain stable in Austrsia.


    This is simr to working at apany. A new employee, when given the opportunity to reach thepany’s top ranks or even be a shareholder, will remain hopeful.

    However, if no amount of effort can change their status, employees will naturally lose loyalty to thepany and may seek other opportunities or even try to bring thepany down.


    Post-war statistics and enfeoffment rewards are currently the most critical matters in Austrsia.


    After quickly summarizing domestic affairs, Prime Minister Kent traveled with the delegation aboard a battlecruiser to London to attend negotiations to divide the Allies’ interests.


    The actual negotiations venue is in Paris, France’s capital. But before the Paris Peace Conference, there is a smaller meeting in London involving Britain, France, Russia, and Australia – the original four great powers of the Allies.


    Although there are six great powers among the Allies, the true leaders are still these four.


    Italy, having switched sides midway through the war and contributed little, has limited influence in the negotiations.


    While the United States has sufficient strength, it entered the warte and had early suspicions of remaining neutral before joining the cause.


    The American people’s greatest contribution to the war was providing loans to Allied countries, but their military casualties and aplishments were minimal.


    Such contributions from the United States are not enough to enter the core decision-making circle of the Allies, even though their overall power has surpassed Russia and Austrsia.


    Among the four great powers of the Allies, the status of each country has also changed significantly.


    France and Russia suffered the greatest casualties, and they are the only two among the four who sharend borders with Germany.


    These two countries have a significant interest in German territory, so they have naturally formed an alliance.


    Both Britain and Austrsia sustained rtively few casualties and are either too far from Germany or separated by a strait.


    Neither Britain nor Austrsia has significant interest in German territory, and they both hope that Germany is not divided too much.


    This has caused the Allies to split into two factions, one led by France and Russia, and the other by Britain and Australia.


    Regardless, the true leaders of the Allies are these four great powers. The pre-meeting in London aims to demonstrate theirbined strength and unity to other countries.
