Chapter 1032: Chapter 775: Choose One of the Two Bottles of Poison_3

Nicholas II intended to use these aids for one final attempt. If he failed, he would proceed as agreed upon with Chief David.

If successful, he might be able to restore the glory of the Russian Empire and prevent the extinction of the Romanov Family.

After successfully reaching an agreement with Nicholas II, Chief David reported his actions to Arthur.

Upon receiving Chief David’s message, Arthur was very satisfied. If Nicholas II agreed, it would indeed help Australasia inherit the legal system of the Eastern Roman Empire in the future.

After all, the legal inheritance of the Eastern Roman Empire by the Russian Empire had already been recognized by other countries, and thus Australasia naturally had every right to inherit the imperial legal system of the Eastern Roman Empire from the Russian Empire.

As for whether other countries, including Britain and France, would recognize this, Arthur was not worried about that issue.

After all, legal principles are just supportive factors; real power is ultimately what matters most.

Given how important Australasia was to both Britain and France, even without legal principles, as long as the interests were sufficient, Britain and France would pinch their noses and recognize it.

Likewise, even if Australasia had a legitimate and compliant legal system, if its power were not strong, Britain and France would still likely oppose it.

More importantly, Arthur only wanted the legal rights of the Eastern Roman Empire, not the imperial succession of the Russian Empire.

If Britain and France became too oppressive, Arthur wouldn’t mind inheriting Nicholas II’s Tsarist throne and becoming the legitimate Emperor of Russia.

He believed that Britain and France would be sensible when faced with two options. If it were just the legal rights of the Eastern Roman Empire, Arthur would at most establish the Australasian Empire.

But if pushed into a corner, allowing Arthur to directly inherit the Russian Empire might result in the creation of the Russian-Australasian United Empire.

Although the inclusion of Russia was only a remote possibility, it was this very possibility that Britain and France absolutely wanted to avoid as a major crisis.

If Russia and Australasia were indeed united, Britain and France might have to reunite just to stand a chance against them.

Neither the United Kingdom nor France were foolish; they would not allow such a massive union to form freely and naturally would opt for the easier-to-accept option, allowing Arthur to obtain the legal system from the Eastern Roman Empire and establish an empire across all of Australasia.

Actually, the compromise reached between Arthur and Nicholas II, besides providing 20 million Australian Dollars in aid to Nicholas II, also included ensuring the personal safety of Nicholas II’s family, meaning the remaining members of the Russian Monarchy.

The reason for having William and his wife become the godparents of Princess Anna Miller was indeed guided by this purpose.

Even if Tsarist Russia failed in the war, considering Australasia’s influence, nobody would dare threaten Princess Anna Miller’s safety.

Arthur would also ensure Princess Anna Miller’s safety first and foremost, even if that meant deploying the Military.

This was one of Nicholas II’s requests. As long as Princess Anna Miller’s safety could be guaranteed, Nicholas II was willing to leave behind a hand-signed document after the demise of the Russian Empire, declaring the transfer of the legal rights of the Eastern Roman Empire to Arthur, thereby giving Arthur the right to the Russian Empire’s inheritance.

This was also a tactic that Arthur had up his sleeve. One was the legal system of the Eastern Roman Empire; the other was the inheritance right of the Russian Empire. Either of them could make Arthur an Emperor; it just depended on what Britain and France would decide.
