On December 23, 1902, after a week of preparation and sailing, Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrew departed from the Hamburg port in Germany and headed for a port within the Russian Empire, where he was warmly received by the Russian Empire.
Of course, it was actually the relations with the German Empire that warranted the Russian Empire's grand reception, not Minister Andrew and his entourage.
Australia did not deserve too much attention from the Russian Empire, but the German Empire was different. Although the Allies organization that the Russian Empire currently belongs to and the Axis organization that the German Empire belongs to have carried out fierce arms race in Europe, there are occasional frictions between them.
But this cannot change the fact that the German Empire currently ranks first in army strength and second in overall strength.
