Chapter 355: Chapter 306: Military Layout of 1912 (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)_2

It seems necessary to adopt some measures to accelerate the absorption of immigrants before and after the war.

For the Australasian Governmt, there is another good news that the total fiscal revue for the whole year of 9 has reached a new high, up to 78.4 million Australian dollars.

The continuous growth of fiscal revue actually represts that the achievemts of Australasian developmt have gradually shown up.

Of course, it cannot be died that the growth of fiscal revue depds on orders such as arms trade and grain exports, but this is undoubtedly good news.

Of course, the total fiscal expditure of the governmt is also growing continuously. In 9, the total expditure of the Australasian Governmt reached 67 million Australian dollars, achieving a fiscal surplus of over .4 million Australian dollars.

Among them, military expditure has reached as high as 8.7 million Australian dollars. Although the scale of the navy has not grown, the army has expanded by a massive 0,000, and with various weapons and equipmt, the military expditure of Australasia occupies more than 40% of the governmt's total expditure, which is also a major feature of this era.

In fact, military expditure in European countries is gerally high. After all, everyone knows that the emies that are to be faced are the combinations of several major powers.

If military expditure is not high at this time, the loss to the country and governmt in the future will be much higher than the exorbitant military expditure in these years.

Some small countries are ev expanding and developing their military by borrowing heavily from both domestic and foreign sources.

This can also be considered as a gamble, with the winner gaining territory, population, and war reparations. Not only can this fill the gap left by previous loans, but it can also further hance the national pottial.

As for failure, perhaps those who dare to gamble with the stakes have not really thought about the consequces of failure.

Of course, countries that dare to gamble actually have some confidce. In the ongoing Italo-Turkish War, Italy relies on the power of the great powers and its powerful navy, as well as the certainty that other great powers will not interve, to launch the war confidtly.

As for the Balkan nations that are currtly preparing for war, they are not only massively expanding their armies for the war but have also gained the support of the Russian Empire, and the atttion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is tirely focused on the currt Italo-Turkish War. This is the reason why they dare to prepare for war against Turkey.

The currt naval and arms race in Europe can also be se as a lack of confidce in the two major European military blocs to defeat each other. Therefore, they can only hope to expand their military preparations to gain more advantages against the emy.

The available funds of the Australasian Governmt have now exceeded 50 million Australian dollars, which is also a little confidce for the governmt to massively expand its military preparations and hance its national defse force in the face of the upcoming war or during the war.

If we take into account the massive loans from both the private and governmt sectors, Australasia could probably spd at least half a billion Australian dollars, and it may not be impossible to build a top-three navy in the world.

After a brief report, it's now time for the new cabinet governmt's four-year plan for the future.

This has also led to the extravagant equipmt of the royal private army, the first and second guard divisions, and they are the only two forces in Australasia equipped with military trucks.

Of course, the real reason for the two guard divisions to be equipped with military trucks is that they are mostly stationed near Sydney and are responsible for the security of the capital city and the royal palace.

And the transportation vironmt near Sydney is very convit, so it is more convit to travel by truck.

However, other units are differt. Most of the other units are stationed in mountainous or remote areas, and truck transportation is not so convit.

Of course, the governmt's insufficit financial budget is another major reason. It is believed that after the expansion of military spding in the coming year, other regular forces will also be able to see some military trucks.

The wealth of the Royal Financial Group is also the foundation for Arthur's developmt of advanced military weapons such as tanks, aircraft carriers, and aircraft.

It must be known that, so far, the research and developmt of all these advanced military weapons have consumed the funds of the Royal Financial Group.

Although the research scale of these three weapons is not large, it costs millions of Australian dollars every year.

If it were not for the wealth of the Royal Financial Group, the governmt would probably not dare to bear such a consumption easily.

This is actually the bottom line of having money. If there is no money, not to mtion starting research, ev recruiting talts will be obstructive.

Speaking of this, we cannot help but thank Arthur's grandmother, Que Victoria.

It should be known that Duke Old Arthur left Arthur only over 80 million pounds in inheritance, and the rest of it was brought to Arthur by Que Victoria.

Ev including New Zealand and New Guinea, these were gifts giv to Arthur by Que Victoria.

If it wer't for Que Victoria's will, it might not be easy for Australia to get these two regions.

After all, with the relationship betwe Arthur and Edward at the time, ev if the importance of these two regions to the British Empire was minimal, Edward VII would have obstructed in secret.

Perhaps this is the advantage of one's backg! Born in a family of the British Empire's royal lineage, and being the only son of Que Victoria's most beloved son, it seems only natural to receive these befits.

For someone with a family backg, making good use of one's origin can bring more befits and save some detours.
