Besides national defse construction, the second phase of Leonora Industrial Base''s is also of utmost importance for Austrsia.


    In fact, the second phase of the Leonora Industrial Base started as early as 9, with initial expectations ofpletion by 93.


    After all, the second phase construction, in terms of scale and nning, was set to significantly surpass that of the first phase of the Industrial Base.


    All the factories from the first phasebined could at most provide less than fifty thousand jobs for Austrsia, ev at full capacity.


    However, upon thepletion of the second phase, it alone could create over one hundred thousand jobs.


    Combining both phases, the tire Leonora Industrial Base could provide at least 50,000 jobs for Austrsia, not only fulfilling the job needs of West Australian State but also extding befits to South Australia.


    With substantial governmt and industrial sector funds, the construction of the Industrial Base is progressing faster than expected.


    If everything goes as nned, the construction of the Industrial base should bepleted by the d of 9 or the beginning of 93, and is set to be operational by 94.


    This means that, if World War I took ce as it did in history, Austrsia would have a super industrial area with over 50,000 jobs ev before the outbreak of World War I. This would further solidify its industrial levels and scale, and able it to export arge amount of industrial products to the European Region.


    With the growth of Austrsia''s poption, there would also be an increasing demand for jobs. Various constructions, including the industrial base and other projects, were nned to meet the needs of the Austrsian people, besides serving the national developmtal needs.


    In preparation for the pottial European War, Arthur also issued orders to the agricultural sector, requesting to expand agricultural production where possible, and temporarily decrease food export.


    Aside from the disaster-affected areas with high food prices, food export from all other regions were to be reduced.


    After all, the currt food prices couldn''tpare to those during war times. It''s better to stockpile food in preparation for a pottial war and sell it off after the outbreak of the European War.


    By that time, European Countries would have st hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of troops into the war. Their domestic military and civilian factories would have to make way for the war industry, causing a natural decline in food production.


    Stockpiling food now for sell-off during war times can also be se as prevting pottial starvation and death due to hunger in Europe.


    After all, Arthur is, in the d, a European. How can he stand by and watch Europeans suffer from starvation due to war?


    Though the umtion of food isn''t free, it would at least save lives, wouldn''t it?


    Considering Austrsia''s annual food production of several million tons, the profit from stockpiling food until the outbreak of World War I would not be insignificant.


    Apart from agriculture, Arthur also made some ns in terms of education and healthcare.


    Firstly, regarding healthcare, it was bing increasingly difficult to attract medical talts from Europe.


    The major powers of Europe were increasingly protective of important talts in industries such as medical care and the military industry, especially as war was approaching.


    Therefore, Austrsia had to seize this limited opportunity, attracting as many medical talts as possible before the outbreak of World War I.


    Be it skilled doctors or medical scitists involved in research, they were all talts that Austrsia needed and wascking.


    Arthur was ev nning to have the Royal financial group establish a medical group, focusing on research and production of medicines. This could result in the production of more medical supplies for Austrsia and ev the tire world. Although the motive may be profit-driv, it is still a contribution to humanity.


    For example, Alexander Fleming, who is currtly working in Austrsia, discovered picillin. This medicine could be described as a miracle drug during war times, holding significant strategic importance and value.


    If the discovery and manufacturing techniques of picillin could be sessfully mastered before World War I, this technology alone could bring immse wealth to Austrsia, making it the new superpower of the world.


    Weapons, bullets, and equipmt might run short for the powerful nations, but wouldn''t be criticallycking.


    After all, ev if bullets make it to the battlefield, more than half of them would be wasted, and fewer than one in a thousand bullets would sessfulnd a kill.


    But picillin was differt. Picillin could save a brave soldier who should have died from a infected wound, avoiding huge casualties among the European Peoples.


    This held immse value for the war. Whoever could master this miracle drug could gain an advantage in the war.


    After all, it might take a wounded veteran several months to a year to recover from a battle injury.


    The training of a new recruit would also take roughly the same amount of time. But thebat effectivess of the two was not on the same level. The major powers of Europe were ev willing to pay several times the price to obtain more veterans rather than new recruits.


    The greatest use of picillin was to save the lives of elite soldiers as much as possible, preserving thebat power of the army.


    Establishing a unified medical group to oversee Austrsia''s medical research and drug production could not only improve research and production efficicy, but also prevt wastage of human and material resources.


    If this could help expand the reputation of Austrsia''s healthcare, ev after the war, there would not be a void in Austrsia''s medical market. This would be a lucrative business deal.


    Money is the least of the concerns for the royal financial group right now. The cost of establishing a unified medical group is insignificant to them. Arthur is more focused on research in the medical field and the production of medical supplies.


    Of course, he has not forgott about the domestic healthcare industry. Under Arthur''s requiremts, both universities and technical schools have started offering medical majors.


    However, while the studts graduating from universities can function as interns, the studts from technical schools can only work as nurses or doctor''s assistants.


    This is not just due to educational disparity. University education takes four years and makes use of various advanced instrumts and excellt teachers.


    Technical school training only takes half to one year, the differce in knowledge andpetcies leads to a gap betwe graduates from technical schools and universities.


    Although such gaps can be made up forter, as long as studts graduated from technical schools have a high motivation in their specialized area, it''s not difficult for them to be a qualified doctor.


    This also reflects some shorings in Austrsia''s currt education system, for instance, theyck universities focused on certain fields, like medical universities.


    After careful consideration, Arthur has decided to establish one medical university and one normal university, specifically to cultivate more talt in the medical and educational fields for Austrsia.


    The initial scale of these two universities will not be veryrge, admitting about eight hundred to one thousand studts per year, focusing on cultivating talts in specific directions.


    Of course, Arthur only needs to give a n. The specificities of building these universities were left to the education departmt to decide on. Arthur only needs the d result.


    In addition to this, Arthur has also decided to subdivide the existing Royal Military Academy into several military universities.


    The currt Royal Military Academy officially oped in 907 and has now be a for more than four years.


    With the graduation of the first batch of graduates from the Royal Military Academy and their subsequt try into the military, the Academy has officially got on track.


    However, the mix of studts at the Royal Military Academy is currtly too diverse, with studts from the civilian sector, the military, and ev foreign exchange studts.


    After careful consideration, Arthur has decided to separate civilian and military studts, with foreign exchange studts being ssified under civilians.


    It is ttatively nned that the Royal Military Academy will be divided into the Sydney Royal Military Academy and the Melbourne Royal Military Academy.


    The Sydney Royal Military Academy will be responsible for civilian studts, foreign exchange studts, and the cultivation of sior officers.


    This means that a bachelor''s degree holder from the Sydney Royal Military Academy will ter the army with at least the rank of second lieutant. They could possibly ev achieve the rank of lieutant if they perform well.


    These graduates are the backbone of the Austrsian army, and they should have no problem being school-level officers, ev if they struggle in their careers.


    Although the Sydney Royal Military Academy also admits studts from the military, there are certain requiremts for their military ranks.


    Those who are eligible to attd the Sydney Royal Military Academy are usually officers at the rank of lieutant or school-level officers.


    They will receive advanced officer training at the Sydney Royal Military Academy. Lieutants can advance their ranks by one or two upon graduation, while school-level officers can usually advance by at least one rank.


    In other words, the military studts admitted by the Sydney Royal Military Academy are basically pottial officers who have be idtified for focused training. In the future, they could be top-ranking military personnel, like Brigade Gerals.


    As for gerals and army groupmanders, that is currtly not something that can be considered in Austrsia.


    As for the newly established Melbourne Royal Military Academy, its main function is to train junior officers for the military, that is, lieutants, and below.


    This makes the recruitmt requiremts for the Melbourne Royal Military Academy very simple. For civilian candidates, a middle school education and normal conscription conditions are required. The requiremt for military studts is to have served for at least a year and to have excellt performance records in the military.


    Ev in theory, the Melbourne Royal Military Academy is also op to native soldiers from the Native Division, after all, all the junior officers in the Native Division cannot be Austrsians.


    inly put, the purpose of the Native Division is to serve as cannon fodder and bear the casualties for the Austrsian Army.


    Austrsians do not need to serve as the lowest-ranking officers in such an army. As long as the natives receive some simple training, there should be no problem for them to be a low-ranking officer.


    However, ev for the opportunity to receive the most basic officer training, the quota for the natives in the Native Division will not be that much.


    Also, these natives tering the military academy will receive strict supervision, and they are forbidd to carry weapons under any circumstances.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The only chance they get to touch a gun, perhaps, is wh the military academy organizes shooting practice every now and th.


    After all, the safety of other studts at the military academy and the public must be considered. Ev though these natives are soldiers of Austrsia, their loyalty cannot be fully guaranteed.


    If an extremist were to escape with a weapon, it would be a significant threat to the security vironmt in Austrsia and the safety of the people. It is a risk that cannot ur.
