April 1, 1901, while Arthur's military reform plan was in full swing, a fleet also arrived at Sydney Harbour in full force, with the flag of the German Empire flying on every warship and transport ship.
What this fleet was escorting was the first batch of aid from the German Empire, which included a massive amount of equipment, information, funds, and talent worth 50 million pounds.
It has to be admitted that Germany attached great importance to the aid and acted quickly. While there was no news of aid from the United Kingdom, Germany had already prepared the first batch of aid and sent a fleet to escort it to Sydney.
To emphasize the importance of this aid, Arthur and Prime Minister Evan both appeared at the harbor, welcoming the person in charge of escorting the aid materials from Germany, Crown Prince William.
