"Oh?" Arthur became interested, looking at Grant Wilson and asking, "Why?"
Why? Grant Wilson hesitated, but answered quickly: "Essentially, New Zealand once belonged to Australia, and both regions share the same immigrant origin and culture, and are not far away from each other."
"More importantly, both Australia and New Zealand are too vulnerable when faced with the global environment separately. New Zealanders currently have strong independent sentiment, but even if New Zealand successfully becomes independent, it cannot stand on its own in the world. To truly build a strong country, only a union between New Zealand and Australia can be envisioned," Grant Wilson said seriously.
Grant Wilson does not oppose New Zealand's independence, and even supports it strongly.
Because only by making New Zealand an independent country can native power and officials like Grant Wilson have the opportunity for promotion, instead of being suppressed by the British.
