The civil riots in Sydney lasted for several days, and then more than a dozen white right-wing civil organizations including the Royal Gold Mine Association, the Royal Ranchers Association, the Royal Wool Merchant Practitioners Association came forward to form the "New South Wales State of Emergency Committee", proclaiming to restore the rule of law and order and restore people's livelihood.

But from the members of the Emergency Committee, it can be seen that this is completely the base of white right-wing conservative forces, a non-elected organization that usurped power and advanced power, does not have the foundation for legal governance of New South Wales.

The chairman of the State of Emergency Committee is represented by Morgan McLaury, and the vice-chairmen include former Governor Stevens, former Speaker Henry, conservative heavyweights McKellan and McGinnis Peters, all of whom are big right-wing conservative figures.

After the riot, Victoria and Tasmania made their statements as soon as possible;

Be the first to recognize and welcome the dawn of order in New South Wales, be confident in restoring the stable situation in the state, welcome the important positions of former politicians with leadership and broad influence in the State of Emergency Committee, and are willing to work with them to restore legal order in New South Wales.

Not long afterwards

Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia have made statements on this one after another;

We strongly condemn the serious riots that occurred in Sydney, we extended our hearts to the victims, we called for the best efforts to restore the law and order, bring the perpetrators to justice, and we called for the establishment of a joint Australian court, reflecting the principle of openness, fairness and fairness of the law, and thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind this incident. All criminals whose hands were stained with the blood of the people should be severely punished.

With a cautious and optimistic attitude, we hope that the surviving state legislators can resume their work as soon as possible, hold governor and state legislative elections in advance, and restore the elected state government as soon as possible.

The World Journal published on July 4, 1890, has published the "Sydney Massacre" in detail, and calls this brutal act "a serious provocation to the British Empire's elected parliamentary system, which originated from the dark and violent tradition of the Middle Ages. A deep scar in the process of human democracy is about to be judged by fairness and justice."

Once the report was published, it immediately caused a sensation in the European and American public opinion circles, especially in France, Britain, the United States and other public opinion, as if it had been a carnival, they were happy to see the British Empire being ruined, and they reprinted related reports one after another. The report and comments were extremely ridiculous, and they looked like they were not afraid of big things when watching the excitement.

Just two days later

On July 6, 1890, the Queensland government received a severe impeachment telegram from the London Colonial Department, ordering the World Journal to immediately ban the internal governance. Relevant personnel of the state government shall not make any statements regarding the "Sydney Incident" to avoid adverse effects that damage the honor of the empire.

In response to this matter, the Colonial Ministry will form a joint investigation team with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior to visit Australia to investigate the person in charge of the incident in detail. No relevant parties shall make any moves and wait for London to make a final conclusion...

all in all

London's attitude is to be mixed with each other, and he beat 50 major boards to both sides, harshly warned New South Wales not to unilaterally change the regional situation, restore social stability as soon as possible, suppress riots quickly, and hold governor elections at a time...

For Queensland, it is a stern warning not to cause trouble, just be a quiet neighbor.

Red Fort

Li Fushou shook the telegram in his hand gently and said to Xin Changjun, "Brother Changjun, the bureaucrats in London reacted surprisingly quickly this time. It seems that the Sydney tragedy has touched their pain points and I can't sit still."

"Mr. Yuanding, I don't think it's a pain point, but a face that cannot be kept on my face. The message did not mention the four words "Sydney Massacre" but vaguely called it the "Sydney Incident". The ostrich has a very strong mentality!"

"Hahaha...it's true, let's see how efficient the multi-department joint operation in London is this time? I guess it's going to be fast if I can arrive in Australia in three months."

"Mr. Yuanding, I think about it for three months. The bureaucrats in London will not be so efficient. They want the colony to solve the problems themselves. Who is willing to do such a thankless thing? From the current measures of the colony, it can be seen that they are trying their best to cover up the cover. They want to make big things smaller and small things smaller, and they have no intention of really solving the problem. According to their previous urinary nature, it would be good to get off in half a year, even if it is highly efficient."

"Half a year? Hahaha... we can afford to wait, I'm afraid the southern white guys on the opposite side can't afford to wait!"

"Lord Yuanding, do you have any latest news?"

Faced with the questions of his close government assistant, Li Fushou did not hide it and nodded and replied, "Yes, the political affairs department has obtained the latest information, and the top leaders of the rebellious New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania are planning a major operation. The purpose is to form the Southern Federation and work together to fight against the heavy pressure from the north. This is one of the series of actions that have been planned long ago. The next step is probably to invade my southern territory with justifiable reputation."

"They really dare to take this step?" Although Xin Changjun had expected it, his expression was still very shocked.

Li Fushou snorted contemptuously, "Li Ling Zhihu and the dog's rush to jump over the wall, what's there to dare not do?"

Most of the Earls of Queensland is in New South Wales. The industry and commerce are prosperous, densely populated, and full of towns. It is a fat sheep that has been jealous of the Southern right-wing conservatives for a long time. How can you be willing to do it without stretching out your hand?

Especially since the population of the region is as high as more than 3.6 million (excluding the Red River Valley-Brisbane metropolitan area and the four Mythical Beasts cities), neither the governor nor the state legislator's elections can be avoided, and they are always a big concern.

Based on the above factors, the day the Southern Federation was established was the time when the Civil War broke out.

Queensland, with a population of tens of millions, is 8 times the size of the Southern Federation. If the provinces in Shanghai are added, this number will be multiplied by 2. However, the Southern Federation does not feel that it has no chance of winning. This is the white people's confusion.

The closest example is the Paraguay War in South America. Paraguay, with a population of only more than 500,000, took the lead in declaring war on neighboring Uruguay and the Brazilian Empire with a population of up to tens of millions, opening the terrible door to war. Argentina then joined in and formed a three-country alliance to fight Paraguay.

From any perspective, Paraguay has no chance of winning, and the population and territory of the Three Kingdoms Alliance are dozens of times that of Paraguay.

The war lasted for six years from 1864 to 1870, which was the deadliest and bloodiest inter-national war in South American history. It hit Paraguay in particular. The population of Paraguay dropped sharply from more than 500,000 to 230,000, and the population of adult men was less than 30,000. The national economy suffered catastrophic losses and was forced to give up the territory controversial with Argentina and Brazil, hiding on the side and licking the wound silently.

"How did the pre-war preparations of the Government Affairs Department do?" Li Fushou asked.

Xin Changjun took out the confidential documents in his hand, looked at them and replied, "According to your instructions, the Government Affairs Department cooperated with the Army Staff Headquarters to complete the complete organization of eight local militia divisions, including weapons, light and heavy firepower equipment, tents, equipment and logistics supplies. At present, the battalion-level training has been carried out in a concerted manner.

The militia divisions of overseas provinces have entered a first-level mobilization state and will arrive in Australia by sea in the near future. The Government Affairs Department has adjusted its transportation force and has made proper resettlement.

Western Australia organized a militia independence battalion, and South Australia organized a militia independence regiment, which is expected to arrive one after another around mid-August to form the Northern Joint Corps with us.

The war is under intense progress, and related medicines, cloth, food, tractors, ammunition and tents and other materials will be allocated one after another by the strategic reserve warehouse.

At present, relevant competent personnel have been organized to participate in the joint logistics department organized by the General Staff Headquarters, and to conduct emergency field rescue training for medical personnel to deal with possible large-scale casualties.

So far

In addition to drawing hundreds of experienced current doctors and nurses, we also organized second- and third-year students from Brisbane Medical University and Episcopal Medical College, with a total of about 870 students as reserve forces to support the battlefield if necessary.

The Government Affairs Department has issued a trade ban, and has taken measures to ban southern wool and continue to put intensify pressure."

After hearing the relevant report, Li Fushou pondered for a while and began to instruct, "The Government Affairs Department has done a very detailed pre-war preparation, but supervision must be strengthened. The Internal Affairs Department and the Supervision Department must participate in the work of the war, during and after the war, and if there is not enough manpower, please draw from the Secretariat. Be sure to perform the supervisory position, try to minimize the opportunity to make money in the war, and fill personal pockets and other vicious crimes, and block the loopholes and do not give people an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I understand, your instructions will be implemented immediately."

"There is also to strengthen confidentiality. Now is the period when the southern spy detectives are active. I will give the relevant matters to the Political Information Department to strictly control the relevant matters." After Li Fushou gave the order, he said with a smile on his face. "Oh... there is another thing. The department led by the Political Information Director Dai Yingcai has performed outstandingly and has extraordinary talents. I have signed a letter of appointment and commended the commendation. From today on, he will be the new Director of the Interior."

When Xin Changjun heard this news, he was very surprised.

The Department of Internal Affairs is the traditional sphere of influence of Lord Ho Shoutian. He has served as Mayor of Brisbane for many years. He is one of the most determined tyrants of Lord Earl within the Zhigong Party.

He Shoutian's ability is relatively mediocre. Such a person can sleep peacefully when he sits on the throne of the Secretary for Internal Affairs.

Now I'm changing into Dai Yingcai...

This is a shrewd and deceitful person, as sinister as a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and it is definitely not easy to meet. Xin Changjun felt a little chill on his back. Now many big people have to be more restrained to avoid being caught in their braids.
