The news of Austrsia''s eptance of the Solomon Inds was well received by the Austrsian public.


    For Austrsians, who already have a strong sense of national pride, the expansion of their national territory was unquestionably good news.


    For the British, exchanging a few Pacific inds for Austrsia''s inclusion in the Allies was a good deal.


    Consequently, the transfer of sovereignty over the Solomon Inds from Britain to Austrsia was seen by both parties as a mutually beneficial transaction.


    Thus, after the colonial government assumed control over the Solomon Inds, it easily amodated the less than 20,000 European immigrants on the inds.


    Among these immigrants, the majority were willing to stay on the Solomon Inds and be Austrsian citizens.


    Only a minority did not wish to stay on the inds. Governor Mark McOnd''s response to this was to offer those people a severance payment and transport them to the nearest British Colony.


    The assets left behind by these departing individuals were taken over by the Colonial Government who would distribute them to future settlers in the Solomon Inds Colony.


    Governor Mark McOnd''s mild policies weed by the local people and attracted many to the Austrsian Colonial Government.


    After all residents received their Austrsian citizenship, Governor McOnd began implementing benefits and policies, which further increased his and the government''s poprity among the locals.


    The development of the Solomon Ind Colony was a great sess. This allowed Arthur to shift his focus back to domestic development inside Austrsia.


    The arms race amongst the major powers of Europe, as it stood, was not limited to just weaponry and ammunition.


    They also began stockpiling cars, preparing for a future war.


    Data from the Benz Car Factory showed that since the second half of 1912, European countries began making massive purchases of automobiles.


    From the initial dozens or hundreds to the current hundreds or even thousands, it is clear how much emphasis European nations put on automobiles.


    Among all types of vehicles, the most popr one being purchased by European nations was the transport truck developed by the Benz Car Factory.


    The most well-known and longest-standing car industry in the world was, of course, Austrsia''s Benz Car Factory.


    Currently, with the total scale of the Benz Car Factory, along with its four affiliated Mercedes factories, they upy over 70% of the global car market, making it a dominating force in the world''s car industry.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    If it weren''t for other European nations fostering their own carpanies, the share of the market that the Benz Car Factory upies would be even higher.


    As it stands, there aren''t any other car factories that can challenge the Benz Car Factory. If not for the massive support from their home countries, many other car factories would have potentially been overshadowed by the Benz Car Factory.


    The current car market can be divided into passenger vehicles and transport vehicles, with Benz One dominating the former, and Benz trucks dominating thetter.


    The respective market shares of passenger cars and transport vehicles of the Benz Car Factory are 65% and 83%.


    This also means that the Benz Automobile Factory, and therefore Austrsia and Arthur, can''t be kept in the dark when European countries purchase cars.


    Interestingly, the Benz Car Factory has built branch factories in the major countries of the Allies and Allied Nations, Britain and Germany respectively, and has also built a branch factory on the other side of the ocean in the United States.


    This has allowed the Benz Car Factory to have orders from the Allies, Allied Nations and Neutral Countries, hence not influenced by the situation in Europe.


    If other car manufacturers have a certain impact on the Benz Car Factory in terms of passenger cars, then in transport trucks, the Benz Car Factory has basically nopetition.


    After all, trucks do not rely on their appearance but on their utility. Things like load capacity, failure rate, maintenance convenience, fuel consumption, and power are all considered.


    In these aspects, the Benz Car Factory is superior to other car factories, thus it naturally acquires the majority of the market share.


    ording to information from the Benz Car Factory, Germany ced an order of 1,000 cars and 3,000 trucks at the Benz branch factory in Germany recently, with a requirement for delivery within six months.


    The trucks purchased by Germany are of arger size. Although slower, these trucks have arger carrying capacity and can handle various terrains.


    Such trucks can be driven unrestrained in most parts of Germany, and even in Europe. This is crucial for Germany''s logistics supply.


    For a majornd power like Germany, the quantity of their army and their equipment can significantly improve the army''sbat capabilities.


    At the same time, arge number of soldiers and weapons present a test for the country''s transport system and logistics capability.


    The transport of firearms, ammunition, and even soldiers in the army requires more convenient tools, and trucks are a popr choice.
