The Foreign Affairs Departmt has already made a request to the Chilean Governmt, stating that the super battleship the Chileans demanded has already be designed. They invited the Chileans toe to Austrsia for an on-site inspection and to sign a formal warship purchase order.


    However, Chile is located on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, separated from Austrsia by the tire South Pacific Ocean.


    The arrival of the Chileans will still take some time, and before the Chileans arrive, Arthur also wees the d of 9.


    On December 3st, 9, the annual report meeting of the Cab Governmt formally conved at Sydney Pce.


    This year''s Cab Governmt summary report meeting has be more important thanst year''s. Apart from the European situation bing more serious, the Cab Governmt is also about to wee a new  of elections next year.


    This will be the first election after the cab reform, and many old-time cab ministers will also face an important choice in their political careers.


    The maximum term of office for Cab Ministers is three terms. This means that if these Cab Ministers want to continue to stay in the Cab Governmt, they must aim for differt positions.


    In addition to the Prime Minister and the Minister of State, which are the highest points in the Cab Governmt, the Chief Justice, the Speaker of the House of Represtatives, and the Royal Affairs Minister are also important positions that can allow them to continue to stay in the Cab Governmt.


    However, thepetition for these positions is extremely high, especially for the Minister of State, Chief Justice, and Royal Affairs Minister. Elections for these roles can only be held under Arthur''s nomination.


    This means that if Arthur is not optimistic about them, th they can only work towards the positions of Prime Minister and Speaker of the House of Represtatives.


    However, in addition to the other Cab Ministers,petitors for these two positions include incumbt Prime Minister Walter, former Prime Minister Evan, and incumbt Secretary of State Kt.


    In addition to the five sior ministers of the Cab Governmt, there may be more than tpetitors for the two positions, and all of them are top-tier politicians who have served as cab members. This is a huge pressure for these cab ministers.


    Therefore, these cab ministers view the annual summary report meeting at the d of this year as extremely important. This is theirst chance to showcase their political achievemts, and thest chance to gain Arthur''s trust and get him to think highly of them.


    The atmosphere at therge conferce table in the pce has be very serious.


    Prime Minister Walter stood solemnly and respectfully in front of the conferce table and was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, colleagues, please allow me to start the annual summary report of the Austrsian Cab Governmt in 9. The first item to report is the overall domestic situation.


    During the tire 9, our developmtal situation was good, with orderly and intse developmt in all aspects."


    After a series of reports from the Cab officials, the currt situation of Austrsia was finally reported in detail.


    First is the poption issue that Arthur values most. By the d of 9, the total poption of Austrsia had exceeded 9 million, with the exact number being over 9.43 million. Compared to the previous year, the poption increased by 9,000, among which the number of immigrants exceeded 850,000, the number of newborns exceeded 0,000, and the number of deaths was over 40,000.


    As the core of the country, the poption of the Australian region has already exceeded 7.54 million, and the poption of the New Zend region has already brok through .8 million.


    The poption of the two colonies, New Guinea and Timor, has also brok through 60,000 and 0,000 respectively, with an overall healthy poption growth.


    In terms of poption structure, British immigrants have declined slightly, but still maintained 68.% of the total poption.


    For the first time, the Russian poption has surpassed the German poption, reaching 4.4%. The German poption has dropped to third, ounting for 3.9% of the total poption.


    With Russia''s increase in immigration to Austrsia, the proportion of Russian immigrants should continue to rise.


    However, Arthur''s baseline for British immigrant proportion is 65%. If the proportion of British immigrants falls below 65%, th Arthur would consider reducing the quantity of immigrants from other countries. After all, the stability of the nation is far more important than poption growth.


    Currtly, the developmt of Melbourne is also very rapid, with the poption reaching over 950,000 by the d of this year.


    If nothing happs, the poption of Melbourne should exceed  million within 9, thus bing the second city in Austrsia with a poption of over a million.


    However, the bad news is that in the short term, the only cities in Austrsia with a poption over a million will be these two. The cities currtly ranked third and fourth in poption are Wellington and Newcastle, with poptions exceeding 470,000 and 450,000 respectively.


    These two cities are still a long way from having a poption of a million, ev after the d of World War I.


    However, for a country like Austrsia with a poption of less than  million, having too many cities with a poption exceeding a million may actually be detrimtal to the developmt of the country.


    After all, Austrsia has a vastnd of millions of square kilometers. If most of the poption is conctrated in certain cities, th the developmt of other regions is bound to be limited.


    Due to the construction of the Leonora Industrial Base, West Australia has also be a major region for the Austrsian Governmt to dispatch immigrants.


    The poption of West Australia has now exceeded one million, and the constraints on industrial developmt are not so great anymore.


    Speaking of industrial developmt, thepletion of the construction of the Leonora Industrial Base and the attraction of factories to move in and officially start production, have brought a better developmt stage for all industries in Austrsia.


    The scale of steel production in Austrsia has also se a substantial increase, with an annual output of .3 million tons of iron and .4005 million tons of steel.


    In the chemical industry, the Leonora Industrial Base has attracted more than t chemical factories, two agricultural machinery factories, one synthetic ammonia factory, two small fertilizer factories, 7 civilian factories and so on, producing agricultural machinery, fertilizers, and various chemical products.


    It has made a significant contribution to various developmtal constructions in Austrsia.


    More than a doz factories,rge and small, at the Leonora Industrial Base have created over ,000 job opportunities, driving significant economic developmt in the region of West Australia.


    The per capita ie of Austrsia has now reached 48.7 Austrsian dors, and the per capita ie of some parts of Austrsia has exceeded 50 Austrsian dors.


    The construction of the two colonies is also almost on track. The per capita annual ie of the New Guinea Colony''s total poption of 60,000 is 4 Austrsian dors, while the per-capita ie of the Australian Timor with a poption of 0,000 is 40 Austrsian dors.


    By theory, the ie of the colonies should notg behind that of the nativend. However, as the colonies continue to experice an influx of immigrants, these immigrants will have rtively low ie in the short term, thereby reducing the overall per capita annual ie of the colonies.


    Of course, the governmt''s total fiscal revue has also se substantial growth. Thanks to the disaster in East Asia in 9, Austrsia made a dect profit in grain exports.


    Plus, with considerable aid from Britain, the finance of Austrsia was also revitalized.


    In the tire year of 9, the total fiscal revue of the governmt was 64.7 million Australian dors, which increased nearly  million Australian dorspared to the previous year.


    Of course, if you do not count the extra profits from exporting grain to East Asia, the increase in total fiscal revue is about the same asst year, probably a 8 million Australian dors.


    Of course, with the increase in fiscal revue, the governmt''s spding has also se a considerable rise.


    In the tire year of 9, the total fiscal expditure of the governmt was as high as 57 million Australian dors, an increase of 8 million Australian dorspared tost year.


    Among them, military investmt exceeded 0 million Australian dors for the first time, specifically .35 million Australian dors.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    From this year onwards, the scale of the Austrsian navy will reach three battleships, two battlecruisers, more than t guards and destroyers, two submarines, and over 0 small patrol boats, etc.


    Although the strgth of the navy has significantly increased, the rise in its expditure is also substantial, leading to a continuous increase in Australia''s military expditure.


    However, the good news is that the governmt is still in a surplus situation, although the surplus is only about 7 million Australian dors. But, after all, sustaining a navy of major power level with a poption of less than  million and still achieving surplus is already pretty amazing.


    The special funds for the royal family also increased fromst year''s 54,500 Australian dors to 64,700 Australian dors. The special funds for the royal family are gradually growing with the developmt of the Austrsian economy.


    This can also be considered as a small befit Arthur left for his descdants. In the future, wh Austrsia is developed, it is perfectly fine for the special funds of the royal family to grow to millions or ev ts of millions of Australian dors.


    If the royal financial group is not well managed in the future, it can still rely on the funds obtained from the governmt each year to maintain a noble and luxurious life for all members of the royal family. At least being a rich man will not be a problem.


    This is also Arthur''s vision. Arthur spares no effort in cultivating the next geration and sessors. However, if the sessor''s ability is not very good in the future, Arthur will consider reducing royal power and pushing Austrsia to a constitutional monarchy if he does not think he can control the tire country.


    This approach can also ease the contradiction betwe the monarchy and the governmt. It might be difficult for the future monarchs to be conquerors, but with the royal financial group, being a steward should not be a problem.


    At worst, they can stay on this piece ofnd in Austrsia, live a luxurious and ordinary life.


    The more power, the more responsibilities. A despot without abilities could plunge the tire royal family into the abyss.


    Thanks to the fiscal surplus, the Austrsian governmt''s avable funds have reached 40 million Australian dors, and the funds are getting more and more.


    This is very beficial for futurerge-scale expansion of Austrsia in the navy or other areas. After all, having adequate funds makes things easier and provides some protection against the huge consumption of war.


    On the agricultural side, it continued to maintain the same level asst year, with a slight increase in per capita cultivatednd area. Ifst year''s per capita cultivatednd area was a .8 acres, th this year''s per capita cultivated area officially exceeded .3 acres. Of course, it is only about .3 acres.
