The Rise of Australasia

It's worth mtioning that, after more than six months of preparation, the Royal Military Academy finally oped in late 907.

Although the reason for the differt start times of the Royal Military Academy and other universities is the slowed progress of school construction, the differt start times can also distinguish the differce betwe ordinary universities and military academies.

The first rolmt of the Royal Military Academy was very strict. In addition to the soldiers recruited from the army, the first intake of the Royal Military Academy only recruited less than a hundred people.

The specific requiremts are very demanding, not only requiring all family members to have lived in Australasia for fifte years (those under 5 years old must have lived for eight years, and those under 8 do not count), but also during the residce, all family members must not violate any laws and have no close relationships with any foreign forces or individuals.

These are the simple backg requiremts, in addition to which there are some requiremts in physique, intelligce, eloquce, etc., and the minimum education level should be high school level.

This is why more than two thousand people applied for the Royal Military Academy, and in the d, only less than a hundred were admitted from outside.

The conditions for selecting studts from the army are somewhat more relaxed, but they must have served in the military for at least one year, and there are also requiremts in physique, combat capability, intelligce, and loyalty.

Backg checks are basically unnecessary for soldiers in the military, as their backgs have already be checked during recruitmt.

The reason why the Royal Military Academy's rolmt is so strict is that the graduates of the Royal Military Academy will basically become officers of the Australasian Army.

According to the rules and regulations of the Military Academy, an external studt who graduates smoothly from the Royal Military Academy will have a minimum rank of Second Lieutant wh they go to the army. If they perform well, they may ev become First Lieutant or Captain.

Studts selected from the military gerally already have initiatial military ranks of non-commissioned officers or commissioned officers.

After graduation, their ranks will gerally be promoted by two to three levels, basically reaching the level of First Lieutant or Captain.

As for officers above the level of commissioned officers, they are beyond the reach of the ordinary graduates of the Royal Military Academy.

If commissioned officers are considered intermediate military officers, th field-grade officers have already reached the level of sior military officers, requiring not only ability but also siority in the military.

If these military academy graduates can rise to the rank of field-grade officer within t years, ev if it's just Major, it's ough to prove their ormous pottial. Of course, if a large-scale war breaks out, it's another story.

The rolmt of the Aeronautical College is not counted in the military academy because the Aeronautical College has the foundation of the previous Aeronautical Research Institute training classes and has already started rolmt.

At prest, there are more than four hundred studts in the Aeronautical College, and the annual rolmt is about four hundred people.

This also means that nearly four hundred pilots will be born in Australasia every year, which is very beficial for the future expansion of the Australasian Air Force.

In order to build the Royal Military Academy, more than two million Australian dollars out of the 5 million Australian dollars in school construction funds were used to attract professors from European military academies and retired famous gerals to hance and supplemt the foundation of the Military Academy.

Currtly, with the foundation of the Royal Military Academy, the long-standing concern about middle-level officer vacancies in Australasia can be relieved.

As the honorary principal of the Royal Military Academy, and with Arthur's high popularity and support among the people, he can fully guarantee the goodwill of the graduates of the Royal Military Academy towards the royal family and Arthur, which is equivalt to cultivating talt loyal to himself oply and justly.

It's worth noting that most of the professors at the Army College of the Royal Military Academy were hired from Germany, while most of the professors at the Naval College were hired from the United Kingdom.

In addition to the establishmt of the Royal Military Academy, the number of technical schools in Australasia has also se explosive growth.

In 906, there were only three technical schools in Australasia, all located in Australia.

By the d of 907, the number of technical schools in Australasia had increased to sev, with New Zealand adding two new technical schools.

These sev technical schools can train more than five thousand excellt technicians for Australasia every year, filling the vacancies in some technical positions for factories.

Arthur has only one requiremt for these technical schools: the more, the better, and the bigger, the better.

As for outstanding technical talts, Australasia naturally doesn't mind having many. They want as many as they can get and will cultivate as many as they can.

These technical school graduates are oft attracted to various factories with high salaries and befits immediately after graduation.

There's no other way, as the currt number of factories in Australasia has led to a continuous increase in demand for technicians, and ev those who graduate from technical schools do not have to worry about finding work.

The final report came from the Finance Departmt, and it contained data that all ministers cared about.

There is no other way a it, as the balance of revue and expditure of the Ministry of Finance also determines the budget situation of other departmts for the next year. If the financial loss in the previous year was severe, the budget of each departmt would undoubtedly be reduced in the following year.

Fortunately, Finance Minister Roger brought good news to everyone.

In 907, the total fiscal expditure of the Kingdom of Australasia Governmt was about 8,4,000 Australian dollars, while total fiscal revue was approximately 36,0,000 Australian dollars. Not only was there a fiscal surplus, but the excess amount also reached as high as 7,8,000 Australian dollars.

While continuing to carry out a significant amount of industrial construction, Australasia's fiscal expditure did not change much and maintained a level of a 30 million Australian dollars.

Meanwhile, fiscal revue grew substantially, jumping from just over 0 million to over 36 million.

This includes tax revue from arms trade and dreadnought orders, as well as tax revue from the Bz Car Factory and the Royal Financial Group, which contributed at least million Australian dollars.

It's worth noting that, according to the Australasian constitution, the Australasian royal family can receive one perct of the total governmt fiscal revue every year for use as royal funding to cover the costs of the royal family and palace.

In 907, this one perct amounted to 360,000 Australian dollars. Although it is a small income for Arthur, it is considered a vast wealth for the lower class. f

If Australasia's finances continue to develop smoothly, Arthur is confidt that ev without the Royal Financial Group's income, one perct of the governmt's annual revue will be ough to support the tire royal family.

Thanks to this year's fiscal surplus, Australasia's currtly available funds have not decreased but have increased, returning to over 40 million Australian dollars.

However, unfortunately, in the new year, Australasia's five-year shipbuilding plan will officially begin.

This is a considerable investmt, and whether this year's fiscal situation can maintain a surplus remains uncertain.

Another major reason for the high growth of fiscal spding is the growth of the livestock industry. As the country gradually stabilizes, Australasia is increasingly showing the characteristics of a livestock superpower, which means there are many products related to animal husbandry.

Products such as beef, mutton, wool, cows' milk, sheep's milk, and others are exported to major regions of Europe and America and are a significant source of fiscal revue for the Australasian governmt.

As of now, Australasia has more than 70 million sheep and ts of millions of cows and other livestock.

How outrageous is this number? Every Australasian can be allocated nearly twty-four sheep and sev cows, and one other livestock.

It is precisely because of such a developed livestock industry that Australasia's livestock product prices are meager, with beef and mutton being standard dishes on most Australasians' tables.

In particular, in Australasian armies and schools, having meat for every meal has almost become a tradition.

In school districts, cow and sheep milk are also provided in the mornings to supplemt the studts' nutrition.

At prest, the largest private ranch owner in Australasia owns vast grasslands and mountains, as well as ts of thousands of cattle and sheep.

These cattle and sheep can bring them over a thousand Australian dollars in annual income. Ev after dividing the tire family's per capita share, each person can still obtain an income of over a hundred Australian dollars, far exceeding the currt average income level in Australasia.

Arthur's Royal Financial Group has, of course, also joined the livestock industry and has large and small ranches and a number of cattle and sheep in various states.

These ranches, wh combined, also have at least one million cattle and sheep, and the wool, cow and sheep milk, and meat products they produce each year are of excellt quality and are st to the royal palace. The rest is gerally sold abroad.

Worth mtioning is that Arthur also owns two large ranches dedicated to raising Australian wild horses.

This is a tall kind of horse suitable for use as warhorses, and the cavalry troops of Australasia currtly use this kind of Australian wild horse.

Arthur's two major ranches raise a total of over 0,000 Australian wild horses, which can quickly arm at least three cavalry divisions.

However, Arthur is not very fond of cavalry troops. If possible, Australasia can tirely transform the cavalry troops into motorized troops or ev mechanized units ahead of time. That's why there is no indepdt cavalry division in Australasia.

Arthur is waiting for the practicality of trucks to improve in the future, and th he will completely arm the forces to form mechanized divisions.

As well as future tanks and automatic artillery being born, various tank divisions and artillery units will be the mainstream of the future army.
