Since King Peter of the Kingdom of California was still in Australasia, the proposal was directly approved and implemented by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom Government.
This was also a power entrusted to the Prime Minister by Peter; until Peter returned to the Kingdom of California, the incumbent Prime Minister could decide all governmental matters.
Although this seemed to delegate all power to the hands of the Prime Minister, the development of the situation would still not exceed Peter’s control.
Because the Kingdom Government was currently in a transitional Cabinet phase, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet was a confidant personally appointed by Arthur.
are excellent grain-producing states.
...
In the plans devised by the United Kingdom of the West Coast, priority was given to developing and focusing on grain production in Montana.
Why choose Montana?
Although Wyoming is also a grain-producing state, its population is smaller, and it is undoubtedly more difficult to develop.
Besides, Montana is crossed from west to east by the Missouri River, which is abundant in water resources, naturally making it the optimal choice for a grain-producing area.
In the United States’ railway plans, Montana had two railways running north to south, both of which were transcontinental, naturally enhancing transportation capabilities.
The grains grown in Montana could be transported westward directly to Seattle via these two railways, which is the current capital city of the United Kingdom of the West Coast.
But choosing Wyoming meant only one railway was available, and it was farther from the state of Washington, so grain transportation would require more time.
The so-called Peck Fort Reservoir was the reservoir prepared by the government of the United Kingdom of the West Coast for the grain-producing areas of Montana.
Grain production requires a large amount of water resources; relying solely on the Missouri River was insufficient.
Only by building a reservoir in the Missouri River can irrigation for the grain-producing areas during the dry season be ensured, maintaining the grain yield unaffected by the arid seasons.
The scale of the Peck Fort Reservoir was about the same as the Kingdom Dam of the Kingdom of California, with an estimated investment of 15 million Australian dollars and employing 30,000 laborers.

While the Peck Fort Reservoir was under construction, the grain-producing areas of Montana would also be developed simultaneously.
Based on the railway situation, there would be two grain-producing areas in Montana. The northern area located around Malta City was closer to the Peck Fort Reservoir, facilitating the irrigation from water resources.
f using his own money to boost the reputation of the two young fellows. After all, both young fellows were part of the Australasian Royal Family, and the savvy American people naturally understood why Arthur would lend them such substantial interest-free loans.
On January 2, 1930, the day after New Year’s Day, Arthur received Governors from several colonies (territories).
The system for colonies (territories) differed from that of direct-controlled states. The Governors of the colonies (territories) were personally appointed by Arthur and needed to report the colonial situation to Arthur periodically.
At present, Australasia had many colonies (territories), including the Persian Gulf Territory, the Royal Territory of Alaska, the Territory of Hawaii, the Western Pacific Territory, the South Pacific Territory, the Fiji Colony, the New Caledonia Colony, the Samoan Colony, and the Solomon Islands Colony.
