"So, were those people really from the National Defense Army just now?" Jon’s dad took a long time to recover and only when Little Jon reminded him to return to the room did he ask in disbelief.


    "There should be no problem, Jon. We went to the grand parade before, and I even saw one of them in the parade lineup." Although Jon’s mother also seemed a bit stunned, she quickly regainedposure and exined to Jon’s dad.


    After all, there is no benefit in impersonating soldiers, let alone these soldiers who appear to be distributing supplies to the quarantined people. No one would do this without the support of the government.


    "My God, this is incredible. Little Jon, remember, never leave this room. The soldiers fighting on the front lines are transporting supplies for us. How can we not obey the government’smand?" Jon’s dad finally regained hisposure and issued the strictest requirement to Little Jon and his wife.


    Like Jon’s family, simr scenes urred at many istion points. Not only in Sydney but this time nearly all the four regr divisions were mobilized, and even the two guard divisions were helping with the transport of supplies.


    In every istion point in all states and cities, the soldiers’ figures could be seen almost everywhere.


    At first, people were surprised at the soldiers’ appearance and were even more surprised that the soldiers were transporting supplies for free without asking for anything in return.


    But soon, people gradually began to adapt. After all, before the shortage of supplies, the soldiers had sent another round of supplies, which made the rtionship between the quarantined people and the soldiers more familiar.


    Unlike the stern and distant military image people had in mind, the Austrsia Army was very friendly in tone when talking to the people while transporting supplies, and they tried their best to consider the people’s needs.


    For those with mobility difficulties or thoseckingbor force at home, the soldiers would deliver the supplies to their homes for free and even help with some minor tasks within their capacity.


    This both surprised and delighted the Austrsians. With a mix ofplex emotions, it eventually turned into cries of "Long live Your Majesty!" and "Long live Austrsia!"

    In the early stages of the influenza, Arthur fulfilled his promise made in various asions that the military would protect the interests of the royal family and the people, as well as his promise during the coronation ceremony to always value the lives and property safety of the people.


    If a more urate support rating agency existed at this time, it would find that public support for Arthur surged during this period.


    Of course, this does not mean that the people did not support Arthur before. If a specific description is needed, the people’s love for Arthur before was passionate, while now it borders on fanaticism.


    With the involvement of the military in the transportation of supplies, the shortage of transport personnel in various ces was finally addressed.


    However, due to Austrsia’s wartime state and quarantine system, arge number of immigrants and tourists were forcibly quarantined at the ports, leading to a series of diplomatic disputes and problems.


    On June 7, 1918, Foreign Secretary Daize, with a worried face, asked to see Arthur and startedining as soon as they met, "Your Majesty, we have quarantined more than 100,000 immigrants and tourists at our major ports. Some people are already dissatisfied with our quarantine system, and many European countries are even making inquiries."


    These 100,000 immigrants and tourists came from various regions worldwide, including Russians, the British, Frenchmen, Italian descendants, and American People, among others.


    Most of them were immigrants, but a considerable number were also foreign tourists. After all, Austrsia has a beautiful natural environment and many inds suitable for living and tourism.


    Austrsia upied almost allnd in Oceania (excluding U.S. territories such as Hawaii) and has many inds and archipgos in the South Pacific Ocean, which are also excellent tourist attractions.


    Seeing the post-war economic recovery of various countries and the explosive growth of tourism in Austrsia in a year, the quarantine system issued by Arthur might significantly reduce the number of tourists, immigrants, and even trigger protests and conflicts from other countries.


    "Communicate with all foreign tourists, let them choose to stay in Austrsia or return to their country. If they want to leave, the government will provide them with the fare. As for all tourists who choose to stay in Austrsia, tell them to please wait quietly for a month. This is for their own good." Arthur did not hesitate and immediately proposed a solution.


    People do not yet know the severity of the flu and naturally do not appreciate the quarantine system set up by Austrsia.


    Arthur did not indulge them either; those who were unwilling to ept the quarantine system could leave, which would save some expenses for Arthur to produce more masks for distribution to the Austrsians.


    With Arthur’s order, more than 70% of tourists chose to leave, but nearly 30% of tourists continued to stay in Austrsia.


    After all, observing Austrsia’srge-scale national quarantine, some people started to believe the flu information released by Austrsia.


    Austrsia’s policy of free medical treatment for both immigrant and domestic citizens made these people envious, and if there were a flu outbreak, immediately joining Austrsia seemed like a good fallback.
