Chapter 77: Military Reform

On March 3, 1901, in the outskirts of Sydney...

This place used to be a desolate valley, but after undergoing some simple modifications, it has transformed into a large makeshift military camp.

After more than a month of redeployment, the majority of Australia's garrison troops have arrived here, ready to embark on a long phase of reorganization and training.

Reforming the existing military forces was a decision Arthur had already made, but due to various delays, it had been postponed until now.

The current Australian military consists of the former colonial forces and Arthur's Household Guard.

Arthur's Household Guard consists of 4,000 soldiers from the Royal Household Guards of the British Empire. They are well-equipped and possess strong combat capabilities.

The remaining colonial forces are the garrison troops from the colonial period, which were placed under Arthur's command after Australia gained independence and subsequently integrated into the Ministry of Defense.
