Chapter 229: Chapter 214: Summary of the Year 1906

The welcoming fleet of Australasia set off early, finally reaching the timeline of the wedding day, escorting Grand Duchess Mary to the outer Sydney Harbour.

Escorting Grand Duchess Mary were not only the fleets of both parties but also a guard infantry group from Australasia and two divisions from Russia Nation.

These two Russian divisions were elite troops drawn from the European Region, and although their combat power was not as strong as the Australasian Guards, their weapons and equipment were relatively well-organized and uniform, making for an impressive sight.

A total of more than thirty thousand troops were dispatched by both parties simply to escort a wedding ceremony.

This was a rather rare sight, adding a touch of luxury and prestige to the grand wedding.

For the soldiers of the Guards, this round trip journey also served as a form of training.

They spent almost two months on the ships, gradually getting used to the sway of the warships at sea.
