The Rise of Australasia

After spending most of the day strolling in the forest, Arthur, Butler Kent, and a group of guards, along with the two children as eyewitnesses, hunted dozens of wild deer and bison before returning to the villa satisfied.

There are still many wild animals in Australasia, especially some domesticated ones, such as cattle and sheep, which gradually become wild after escaping from the ranch.

For the hunting team, the main food during this period is the wild animals they catch.

Even though there are hundreds of guards on this trip with Arthur, the daily consumption of grain amounts to several hundred pounds.

In addition to a small amount of staple food, such as potatoes and flour, Arthur's main meal consists of grilled venison, beef, and mutton, as well as some wild fruits from the forest.

Fortunately, the chef's skills are pretty good. Even with simple ingredients, the food he prepares is still delicious.

Of course, the accompanying servants and guards don't enjoy the same treatment. Their food is mostly simple grilled meat, with wild fruits as their staple food occasionally.

As for the water issue, there's a very clear stream near the forest villa.

Although the stream is not very large, the water source is very clean and has not been polluted by any industry.

Although soldiers typically take the water directly for drinking, Arthur has to boil it before drinking it.

It is because of this stream that washing for Arthur and the children is not a problem.

Otherwise, according to previous hunting experiences, they would only be able to bathe once every few days, and only when they found a source with a good flow of water.

That night, after a simple wash, Arthur, Anna, and William sat together and enjoyed a carefully prepared dinner by the chef.

The two children were very excited about their hunting experience during the day, and they talked tirelessly about the white reindeer and other animals they had hunted.

"Father, when can I hunt like you?" At that moment, William put down his fork and knife and asked curiously.

Although today's hunting experience was exciting, the two children only passively experienced it while being held on horseback by others.

Witnessing the event firsthand and experiencing it personally are two completely different feelings, which made William curious to ask.

"When you have mastered your shooting skills, William. You haven't even started your shooting lessons yet, and you can't even hold a gun steady. How can you hunt?" Arthur said with a smile.

"It's a deal, Father," William said, undeterred and full of anticipation.

For traditional nobility, having good shooting skills is essential. Especially for a noble like William, who is to become a ruler, he must not only be familiar with the most mainstream weapons in the world, understand their structure, advantages and disadvantages, but also have a more in-depth understanding of military matters, which requires attending a military academy.

If everything goes as planned, regardless of William's performance in his pre-university studies, his final choice will undoubtedly be the Sydney Royal Military Academy.

Which of the three majors at the military academy he chooses doesn't matter, but after graduating from the Royal Military Academy, William should serve at least three years in the military to gain a better understanding of the military and grassroots units.

The King of Australasia has considerable power, and this is also true in the military aspect.

Arthur doesn't want William to have an interest in military affairs without the corresponding military abilities.

If a war breaks out, blind command could lead to defeat.

To have power, one must also have abilities. If William lacks military capabilities, Arthur would consider reducing his future military power and transferring the command during wartime back to the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, units like the Guard Division will always be the last resort to defend the royal family and must always be under the control of the royal family.

But if William's military talents are mediocre, the Guard Division may be the only unit he can directly command in the future.

With the light-hearted conversation between the father and his two children, the busy day passes quickly.

To ensure that the injured white reindeer won't have any issues, Arthur stayed in the forest for two more days, before deciding to end the hunting journey on April 28, 1913, and return to Sydney.

The purpose of this hunt was for relaxation and enjoyment, and it seems quite successful so far.

At least, Arthur is now much more relaxed, and the two children no longer have the same level of academic pressure as before.

It took almost a full day to travel from the hunting grounds back to Sydney. Not until the convoy stopped at the gates of Sydney Palace, did Arthur breathe a sigh of relief.

Although there aren't many wild animals in Australasia that eat meat and pose no threat to Arthur's hunting team,

There are plenty of wild poisonous snakes and insects in Australasia, particularly in the dense forests where they were hunting, and they frequently encountered poisonous snakes and insects.

Although Arthur was protected by the entire hunting team, given the current state of medical care, there wasn't much hope of survival if bitten by one of these snakes or insects.

Therefore, while Arthur enjoyed the hunting process, he also paid close attention to the possibility of hidden snakes and insects in the dark.
