The Rise Of Australasia-Chapter 1068 - 796: Russian Monarchy Crisis_3

"At your command, Your Majesty!" Minister of Foreign Affairs Wellington and Defense Minister Thomas exclaimed in unison.

Although according to the European Royal Family Union Declaration of the time, the countries that signed the declaration could legally rescue royal families of other nations in danger.

The problem was that rescuing Nicholas II and his family within the whole territory of Russia Nation was quite difficult.

Moreover, it was also necessary to rescue only Princess Shaianna and a few other members of the Russian Monarchy, which required seizing the right moment for the rescue operation.

For Arthur, he naturally did not want to see Nicholas II being rescued to Australasia.

After all, there were a large number of Russians within Australasia Domestic, including a considerable amount of Russian capital.

If these Russians supported the restoration of Nicholas II, Arthur would inevitably face difficulties on both fronts.

After all, the enemies of Nicholas II's restoration were very powerful, and for certain taboo reasons, it was fundamentally impossible to achieve.

Rather than creating problems for the future, it would be better to nip such troubles in the bud. Apart from Nicholas II, most of the other members of the Russian Monarchy could actually be rescued.

This included Empress Alexandra, Princess Shaianna, many other distant relatives of the Russian Royal Family, and some of the last assets of Russia Nation.

These Russian capitalists were not foolish. By being loyal to Nicholas II, they could still gain some benefits and exploit the people easily.

But if the regime were to be controlled by another Russian entity, the fate of these capitalists was uncertain.

The capitalist Russian Government of the time had significant conflicts with this other Russia Nation, and the capitalists had a profound understanding of this nation's ideology and way of dealing with matters.

Therefore, after Nicholas II's utter defeat, the few remaining capitalists in Inside Russia Nation chose to flee.

When these Russian capitalists fled, they had only two preferred destinations, which were Western Europe and Australasia.

After the fall of the United States, indeed only Europe and Australia were considered developed. Other regions were not as attractive to capital for various reasons.

Australasia could rival Western Europe as the most welcomed regions for Russian capital mainly because there were quite a few Russians in Australasia Domestic.

These Russian capitalists were most familiar with their own people and knew how to exploit them to the greatest extent under legal circumstances.

They also saw potential in the capital environment of Australasia. While Western Europe was the most developed region at the moment, its capital was extremely powerful, beyond what Russian capital could hope to challenge at that time.

For Russian capital heading to Western Europe, not many enterprises were able to establish stable roots. Many were divided up by local consortia, becoming the best nutrients for others.

However, in Australasia, the Royal financial group's monopoly and control over various industries had prevented the emergence of large private enterprises.

The best outcome of this was that no enterprise or capital formed a monopoly, thus they could not extract from the public by raising prices.

All industries were flourishing in competition, and under such circumstances, the prices of various commodities were inevitably not too high.

This approach was actually beneficial to the people, and it was also the reason why Arthur wanted to prevent the emergence of private enterprises with a monopoly in various industries.

Even if the Royal financial group held a monopoly, they would not exploit the public like normal capital would.

Private enterprises, however, were different. Even if a private enterprise and capital started with good intentions, in the end, they could not resist the poison of capitalism and self-interest.

Arthur certainly did not believe that capitalists could enforce strict monitoring and gatekeeping on enterprises like he could.

For Arthur, Australasia was also his property, and the stability of Australasia was not to be compromised.

But for those capitalists, only the Money and Assets in their hands were their own; the national interest and stability meant nothing before their own benefits.
