However, the proportion of German immigrants was not high to begin with, and Arthur, with his foresight, dispersed them among therge numbers of British and Russian immigrants, effectively making it impossible for them to make waves.


    Moreover, most of those who emigrate are those struggling or unable to thrive in their original countries.


    After all, who would willingly travel thousands of miles to a foreignnd, just to make a living, if they could thrive in their original countries?


    These German immigrants in Austrsia believe they are living well. To ask them to stand up and oppose the government''s decisions, regardless of their current stable life, would be overestimating their affection for their countries of origin.


    Unless someone deliberately rallies these Germans and incites them, German immigrants in Austrsia fundamentally cannot affect the situation in Austrsia.


    Moreover, with the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau monitoring domestic situations, even with the support of other countries, it would be hard to rally these dispersed German immigrants.


    As for maintaining order within Austrsia, Arthur has spared no effort.


    He also strongly supports and values the growth of the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau.


    As of now, the total number of Royal Security Intelligence Bureau personnel has exceeded tens of thousands.


    If you count those stationed in other countries and various informants, this number could be multiplied several times.


    In Austrsia alone, the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau has over five thousand intelligence personnel embedded in various cities and viges.


    This allows Arthur to always have ess to first-hand intelligence within Austrsia, and to monitor the movements of his officers and subordinates at all times.


    The overseas intelligencework of the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau mainly covers Europe, the United States, and East Asia.


    The number of intelligence personnel dispatched to Europe is thergest, with over four thousand. Including local hires and informants, the total number of intelligence personnel in Europe exceeds tens of thousands.


    The number of intelligence personnel in the United States is slightly less, but including various informants, the total is still over four thousand.


    There are about three thousand intelligence personnel in East Asia and Southeast Asia, about a thousand in South America, and about a thousand in Africa and other regions. This is the current distribution andyout of the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau''s intelligence personnel.


    The first benefit of joining the Allies was to form alliances with the three major powers--Britain, France, and Russia.


    As Austrsia hasmitted to sending a sizablebat army in the event of future European wars, Arthur has been shameless in demanding more benefits and aid from Britain, France, and Russia.


    Of course, the aid from the Allieses mainly from Britain and France, as Russia is also a recipient of assistance.


    On the day the government officially announced its joining of the Allies, Arthur signalled the government to establish contact with the French government and prioritise establishing good diplomatic rtions.


    The French weed the inclusion of Austrsia because thebat troops deployed by Austrsia would alleviate some of the pressure on the French Army.


    While in contact with the French, Arthur also brought up his own demands, which included the purchase of French submarine technology.


    While Austrsia already possessed mature German submarine technology, the development of said technology in Germany currentlygs a step behind Britain and France.


    Of course, even if Germany''s submarine technology was on par with Britain and France, learning some additional submarine technology would also be beneficial to Austrsia''s submarine development.


    In addition, Arthur instructed the Austrsian government to seekrge amounts of low and interest-free loans from the British and French governments and the private sector.


    The excuse was that to reserve sufficient military power, Austrsia needed to invest more budget in the military sector.


    After World War I, all kinds of currencies will depreciate, whether it''s an interest-free loan or low-interest loan, they are all profitable for Austrsia.


    Even just by sellingrge amounts of mineral resources and food supplies to Britain and France during the war, they could easily repay these loans.


    Perhaps out of importance for their new ally, the French agreed promptly to Austrsia''s request to purchase submarine technology.


    Of course, the French did not object to Austrsia''s request for loans, as they have been a major debtor for decades, one more Austrsian does not bother them.


    Through the envoys sent by both parties, Austrsia quickly signed a loan agreement with the French government.


    The agreement stipted that Austrsia would borrow a total of 500 million francs (20 million pounds, 40 million Australian dors) from the French government and civilians. Out of this, 150 million francs woulde from the French government in the form of an interest-free loan. The remaining 350 million francs woulde from French civilians, as a low-interest loan.


    The total loan term was ten years. After ten years, the Austrsian Government would be obligated to repay a total of 535 million francs in principal and interest.


    Of course, this 500 million francs would not be paid in one go. Given the financial condition of France, the 150 million francs from the government would be paid in two batches in mid and end of this year.


    The 350 million francs from the French public would depend on the specific negotiations between the Austrsian Government and French banks.


    France, being a major yer in the lending sector, was quick to expedite the loan process, and the loan agreement came into effect swiftly.


    If all goes well, about 150 million francs should arrive in the first half of this year, and 250 million francs in the second half. The remaining 100 million francs might not get paid until next year.


    With these funds supporting them, the Austrsian Government could spend morevishly on building their military.


    Once the naval orders of Russia and Chile are finished, it would be Austrsia''s turn to demonstrate their military shipbuilding prowess.


    Since the United States was seen as the future target and enemy, it was crucial to quickly enhance naval capabilities.


    Arthur nned to expand Austrsia''s naval arsenal starting from 1914.


    From 1914 to 1918, Austrsia''s next five-year shipbuilding n would be officially executed.


    For this five-year shipbuilding n, Austrsia will build at least one aircraft carrier, seven super dreadnoughts or equivalent main battleships, four battlecruisers, dozens of escort ships and armored cruisers, and more, to fully enrich Austrsia''s naval reserve.


    The aircraft carrier was an experimental product for the navy, and its sess or failure would not affect the expansion of the navy.


    The real highlight was those seven or more super dreadnoughts or equivalent main battleships and a minimum of three advanced battlecruisers.


    If this new five-year shipbuilding n can bepleted, the size of Austrsia''s navy will reach seven super dreadnoughts, three dreadnoughts, six battlecruisers, totaling sixteen main battleships after the end of World War I.


    By then, if nothing unexpected happens, the navies of the Allied Nations should also have encountered their unexpected circumstances.


    At that time, Austrsia''s naval size would rank at least among the top five in the world, and might even rank third in the world, only after the UK and the US.


    In fact, looking at the attitudes of Britain and France, it is evident that they ce considerable importance on Austrsia, their newly joined ally in the Allies.


    France not only agreed to exchange military technology with Austrsia, but also agreed to their loan request.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As for Britain, the assistance they promised during the negotiations is already being prepared after the signing of the Anglo-Australian Treaty.


    Because the original package includes all sorts of things, even various technologies, blueprints, data, and talents, the preparation also takes some time.


    However, the British do not intend to wait. As soon as the preparations for the first batch of aid is ready, transport ships from the British Empire will set sail under protection of their fleet, heading for Austrsia thousands of miles away.


    This batch of aid contains arge amount of industrial equipment and data, as well as the talents that Arthur had requested in various fields.


    Of course, the British government would not straightforwardly ask these talents to immigrate to Austrsia. Instead, they subtly changed the concept and sent them over in the name of expert delegation, so these people and their families could stay in Austrsia for a long duration.


    On the surface, these experts only need to stay in Austrsia for a few years before they can apply to return to the British maind.


    However, the issue is that they would be bringing their families and most of their property to Austrsia.


    After living in Austrsia for several or even more than ten years, would their families truly want to traverse thousands of miles to return home to Britain?


    If they are willing, Arthur would simplymend their love for the homnd, and then let them return.
