Arthur was not worried about the Kingdom of the Netherlands' reaction. As long as the other powers did not intervene, the Netherlands was no longer a match for Australasia near Southeast Asia.
Even in a few years, once Australasian warships begin to launch like crazy, the Netherlands wouldn't even qualify to be Australasia's opponent.
All the decisions Arthur made at the harbor were published in Australasia's two official newspapers the next day.
Without saying much about the sensation caused by Australasia, these decisions also caused quite a stir in Europe.
Of course, the Kingdom of the Netherlands must have found it the hardest to accept. The essence of Australasia is located in the southeast of Australia and the North Island of New Zealand.
To reach Europe or East Asia from these areas, one would have to pass through the Dutch East Indies, either by going west through the Malacca Strait and across the Indian Ocean to Europe, or north to East Asia.
