On May 11th, 1902, having made all the arrangements in New Zealand, Arthur departed New Zealand aboard a warship, embarking on his journey back to Australia.
The trip to New Zealand took a week and a half and consumed considerable human and material resources.
Of course, all this was worth it. If all the plans in New Zealand can be successfully completed, not only can Australia annex New Zealand, but Arthur himself would also gain a territory of significant size.
New Zealand currently has three forces: the stationed military, colonial government and advisory council; their mutual checks and balances ensure New Zealand's stability.
In addition, Arthur has arranged for a royal relief committee in New Zealand, headed by Joshua Brock.
All these guarantees ensure that New Zealand's development will not go beyond Arthur's control.
Three days later, on May 14th, Arthur successfully reached the port of Sydney in Australia, returning home.
