Chapter 447 National Strength in Scientific Research
For Arthur and Australasia, preventing the United States from participating in this world war is equivalent to comprehensively restricting the development of the United States.
The United States did not gain much land expansion during World War I, and its territory was not worth mentioning compared to the size of the British and French colonies.
But it is undeniable that the United States gained the foundation to become a world hegemon in World War I. This is something far more important than those colonies.
No matter how vast the colonies of Britain and France were, the United States and the Soviet Union at that time relied on exporting liberal democratic ideas, which quickly disintegrated the colonial systems that Britain and France had maintained for hundreds of years.
As long as the United States does not participate in the war, the United States will not invest wildly in the military, and the United States will not achieve the status of a top power or even equal to Britain and France.
You know, before World War I, the United States actually had a low status in Europe. The stereotype of the United States to the British is that of a nouveau riche and wealthy. Its hard power in science and technology and military is obviously weaker than that of European countries, and its overall strength is only the fifth major power after Britain, Germany, France and Russia.
If it does not participate in this war, the U.S. economy will still be controlled by European countries, and the U.S. military strength will still be so weak, not even as good as Australasia.
Even if the United States changes its strategic plan and competes with Australasia in the Pacific, its military strength will not rise in a short time because the U.S. government still has restrictions from Congress and there is no reason for a large-scale war. If you want to wildly increase military investment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Congress to pass.
Of course, the battle on the front line has been handed over to the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Commander Thomas, so he will not interfere frequently.
As the saying goes, don't use people you doubt, and don't use people you trust. Maintaining enough trust in the officers on the front line is also an imperial method.
Of course, this is under the premise that Arthur has control of the domestic situation. Like William II, there are powerful factions in the country, and the army is also controlled by the Junker nobles, so it is normal for them to be ignored.
Division Commander Thomas was responsible for jointly launching the campaign. What Arthur had to do was to stabilize the domestic situation and promote the development of Australasia in all aspects.
As the National Day of 1917 passed smoothly, people in Australasia also returned to their normal lives.
Arthur took a group of officials and began to inspect and travel around Sydney.
January is summer in Australasia, but Australasia is not hot either. The highest temperature so far is only in the early 30s, which is a good time to travel.
The goal of Arthur and his party was the National University of Australasia, the first national university established under Arthur's rule.
In fact, college students throughout Australasia have always been known to the outside world for their hard work and diligence.
Arthur spared no effort in cultivating college students. Not only was he fully supplied with various materials, but also delicacies from all over the world, allowing these college students to use more food to relax while studying hard.
The academic system in Australasia is an ordinary four-year course, of which the actual study time is only about two years, and about two years will be used for internship.
Major factories and enterprises in Australasia provide a good internship environment for these college students and better promote the cultivation of their practical abilities.
Arthur's philosophy in cultivating college students has always been that practical ability is greater than theoretical knowledge, and natural thinking is greater than rote memorization.
Because of this, these college students not only need to learn various knowledge in school, but also need to go to major factories and enterprises for internships.
Only after gaining recognition from their internship companies and factories can these college students graduate successfully and become outstanding college graduates.
Because of this unique training method, it can basically ensure that every Australasian university graduate has certain abilities and is definitely not the kind of waste that just hangs around.
It is precisely for this reason that every Australasian college student is a sought-after resource for major factories and enterprises. It is common for newly graduated college students to become senior executives of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Don’t underestimate today’s college students. So far, the number of university students in Australasia has not exceeded 500,000, accounting for only about 2.7% of the total population.
Although there are already a large number of universities in Australasia, nearly 15,000 college students graduate every year.
However, in a short period of time, the value of college students' academic qualifications will not decrease, and Australasia also needs more college students to develop the country.
It is worth mentioning that college students in Australasia will have ideological education courses two to three times a week, and there will be specialized people to teach the ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism and the concept of serving the country.
Such ideological education courses can ensure that the college students trained in Australasia can be used by themselves instead of becoming wedding dresses for other countries.
Of course, pure ideological education is not Arthur's final means to win over these college students. Improving the welfare benefits of all college students, and even improving the welfare benefits of all scientific researchers, is Arthur's main way to win over all scientific researchers and talents at home and abroad.
As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant. Only by having enough respect and value for these college students and talents can we gain the loyalty of these talents.
The policy of improving the treatment of scientific research talents will be implemented by Arthur. Funds, land titles, medals, etc. can all be used as rewards for these scientific research talents. First, ensure that the scientific research talents cultivated by Australasia are loyal to the country, and on this basis, attract more foreign scientific research experts to join Australasia. West Asia.
It is precisely because of Australasia's unique education method that Australasian college students are the most tired of all college students in the world.
Heavy schoolwork, a large number of internships and many scientific research projects make these college students have endless work, and even have a lot of things to do during holidays.
However, when they learned that Arthur was about to come to the school for inspection, many college students still took out their free time and grabbed seats in the school square in advance.
Since Arthur became the Duke of Australia, there has been a tradition of inspections at schools, factories and major businesses.
But after all, Australasia is considered a big family. It has been two years since the last time they came to inspect Australasian National University. Many new students are looking forward to seeing Arthur with their own eyes and seeing what they and their families are doing. Beloved king.
The love of college students for Arthur is not only that Arthur improves their treatment, but also that Arthur improves the treatment of all their family members and friends.
Although Arthur can guarantee that everyone in Australasia is a high-income group, Arthur can guarantee that no one in Australasia will go hungry.
The royal consortium invests heavily every year to relieve all low-income people in Australasia and save the country from disasters.
Among the more than 3,000 college students in the fourth batch of National University, I dare not say more, but at least one-fifth of their families have received relief from Arthur.
At this time, the educational environment in Australasia has become much better. At least college students are no longer exclusive to high-income people. Low-income people can also afford to support college students.
Australasia's education subsidy policy has started in primary school. It provides education subsidies to students who seem to be better at learning and doing well, and provides certain tuition exemptions for students from low-income groups.
Tuition fee reductions can reduce up to half of tuition fees, which is why Australasia's per capita academic qualifications and population literacy rate have increased significantly every year.
When Arthur first came to Australia, Australia's population literacy rate and per capita education level were very low, and the per capita education level was only at the primary school level.
After nearly 17 years of development, Australia's current population literacy rate has reached over 85%, and the per capita education level has reached junior high school level.
After a period of preparation, under the gaze of many college students, Arthur and his party came slowly and quickly stood on the high platform in the square.
"Good afternoon, boys!" Arthur said with a smile to everyone in the audience.
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty!"
the college students in the audience replied one after another.
"Today's day does not seem to be together with the people, but the scorching sun is also a test for you. Please tell me, can such a scorching sun make you surrender? Can it make you give up?" Arthur looked at the temperature above his head and it was already very hot. The scorching sun began his speech.
"No!" Everyone said in unison with all their strength.
"Very good, I have seen your will. Of course I also believe that your will will not be shaken by any material, whether it is the scorching sun or the cold wind. You are one of the best university students in Australasia, and you are one of the best students in Australasia." The hope for the rise of West Asia is also the expectation of all Australasians." Arthur continued:
"Perhaps you still don't know your mission. I want to tell you that your destiny is to make this country stronger and stronger. Let your family, friends and all compatriots you don't know live in a peaceful, stable and strong country." "
From the first day you entered university, and your tutors have taught you knowledge The truth of changing destiny. It is indeed the case. Australasia was also a weak country before. It is precisely because of the hard work of a large number of Australasians that our great country has grown into a great power and has the ability to protect all its citizens. Strength."
"I hope that you, the new college students, can continue to fulfill your mission, fight for the great country, and fight for the great rise of Australasia." "As the saying goes, the wisdom of youth makes the country wise, and the strength of youth makes the country wise
. Strong. Now, the burden of national development will fall on your shoulders, and all compatriots are watching you. Boys, tell me, are you ready? Are you ready to embrace the great mission entrusted to you by this era? "
