In early February 1914, Arthur took an airship to the Russian capital, Saint Petersburg, to attend the third conference of the Allies since their establishment.
According to common sense, the third conference should have been held last year. However, due to the illness of Prince Aleksei Smith, the meeting was postponed by Nicholas II and eventually dragged on until several months later.
Fortunately, this does not affect anything; the rapid expansion of the Allies' military preparation strengthens the close alliance of the four major powers.
The attendees of this conference include the monarchs, presidents, and some senior government officials from the British Empire, France, the Tsardom of Russia, and Australasia. The purpose of the conference is to discuss the tasks and goals of various countries in the future.
