Therge-scaleprehsive industrial base nned by the Ministry of Industry is located to the west of the border betwe West Australia and South Australia, a the small city of Leonora and the northeastern part of Perth.


    The area is rich in mineral resources, withrge coal mines, iron mines, oil fields, tworge gold mines, and a nickel mine nearby.


    Further north of this region, there are superrge iron and gold mines, as well as manganese mines; and to the northeast, there are bauxite mines, copper mines, and more.


    Such rich mineral resources are destined to make this a great ce to develop an integratedprehsive industrial base.


    In fact, Australiater had non-ferrous metal and iron and steel industry bases in this area, without wasting the mineral resources of thend.


    Of course, the initially nned industrial base is not thatrge, and its scale is only the same as the convtional industrial base in the southeast.


    ording to the n, the first step of the integratedprehsiverge-scale industrial base construction project is expected to cover at least ,000 acres ofnd, and the Ministry of Industry''s budget is about 6 million Australian dors.


    If it is sessfully built, this industrial area will have at least 50 standardized factories and trge storage areas.


    The factories will upy about 900 acres, and the remaining less than 0 acres ofnd will be used for roads and some gre nts, as well as the initial treatmt of factory pollution.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Because it is an integratedrge-scaleprehsive industrial area, its industrial developmt is not limited to the iron and steel industry and simple chemical industry, but also includes traditional industries such as coal, machinery, and iles.


    Arthur''s ultimate goal is to build this industrial area into a highly conctrated industrial base withrge terprises at its core, simr to Germany''s Ruhr Industrial Zone, the United Kingdom''s Minds Industrial Zone, and the United States'' Northeast Industrial Zone.


    If the first two phases of construction of this industrial area are sessfullypleted and production starts smoothly, and the poption of Austrsia exceeds t million, th Austrsia will have the qualifications topete for the status of a power.


    Of course, ev if it bes a power at that time, it will still be at the bottom of the powers, and its say will not be very high.


    To truly be a power with sufficit say, a strong army is an esstial condition, in addition to developed industry and economy.


    Before the number of Austrsian g forces reaches 500,000 and the scale of the navy reaches the top five in the world, it is basically impossible to be an acknowledged power.


    Because the first phase of the integrated industrial area construction is near the small city of Leonora in West Australia, this industrial area is named Leonora Large Industrial Base.


    The idea of building such arge-scale integrated industrial base had be approved by the cab several months ago, so after the time tered 908, the construction of the integrated industrial base officially began.


    For the residts of the small town of Leonora, things began to change from the second half of 907.


    The number of peopleing and going near the town increased, withrge and small exploration teams and officials everywhere, all for the purpose of selecting the best industrial area location.


    At first, it was just officials from the West Australian State Governmt asionally checking in, and finally, it evolved into Minister of Industry Pierre personally overseeing the site.


    A few days after Minister Pierre arrived, news came that His Majesty the King wasing to inspect it personally.


    This directly rmed all the members of the West Australian State Governmt, and after a hectic preparation period, Governor Alexander Lowe, apanied by some state governmt officials, the mayor of Leonora, and all represtatives of West Australia, respectfully waited outside the town.


    Not long after, at a one in the afternoon, Arthur''s motorcade arrived at the small town of Leonora.


    It wasn''t easy; the journey had started in Sydney, passing through Melbourne, Adide, and Augustaport, before getting off the train near West Australian State and th taking a car brought by the train.


    More than two days of train travel and more than an hour of car travel made Arthur''s whole body extremely sore.


    If it wer''t for being in public, Arthur would really want to stretch his body and rx, and also exercise his muscles and bones a bit.


    "Your Majesty!"


    Seeing Arthur get out of the car, Governor Alexander Lowe hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.


    "Don''t be so restrained, Governor Alexander Lowe," Arthur said with a smile.


    Although Arthur is only 5 years old now, his sev years of ruling experice as a monarch has giv him considerable prestige and deterrce.


    For example, ev political veterans like Prime Minister Evan dare not be disrespectful in front of Arthur.


    Because smart people know who the real master of this country is and who holds the power of life and death in this country.


    "Let''s go and have a look at the location of our industrial base," Arthur said with a smile.


    Thisprehsive industrial base is a prerequisite for Austrsia''s industrial developmt to advance further, which is why Arthur ces so much importance on it.


    Hearing Arthur''s request, Governor Alexander Lowe nodded repeatedly in agreemt and personally led the way for everyone to go.


    Their tourage included not only the Minister of Industry Pierre in charge of industry, but also the Minister of Transportation, Finance Minister, Minister of Public Security, and the Ministers of Education and Health.
