บท 322: Chapter 282: Obtaining the Blueprint, Visiting the Ruhr District

On July 1st, 1910, Arthur, accompanied by the farewell of many British people, embarked on the Australasian battleship and left the Port of London.

From the expressions of the British people bidding farewell to Arthur, it could be seen that many of them were reluctant to let him go, as Arthur was, after all, a part of the Victorian era.

Upon boarding the battleship, Arthur's mood was actually quite good in the angle where those British people couldn't see.

After several days of lobbying by Arthur, and the payment of hundreds of thousands of pounds in funds, he finally obtained the consent of the UK Cabinet Government. The British government agreed to provide the St Vincent-class battleship as a condition of this aid, permanently providing it to Australasia at a cost.

Of course, the condition for providing it was the technical information of the Australasian Monarch-class battleship, as well as the purchase prices of grain and meat trade below the market price.
