The Rise of Australia

As the saying goes, when people have enough money, they will have enough energy to live a good private life. Correspondingly, there are more and more newborns.

This is also a good thing for Australia. The proportion of native Australians is also extremely important. These talents are the foundation for maintaining Australian rule.

Apart from the integration of foreign immigrants into the Australian nation, the only way Australians can expand is to increase their fertility.

The British side of immigration is the result of Australia's efforts in the UK. Originally, Arthur's reputation in the UK was not low, and a large number of British people had a good impression of Arthur.

This is also the reason why Australia's immigration agitation in the UK is successful. As long as people do not reject Arthur, they naturally have one more choice when they want to immigrate.

The reason why German immigrants were able to surpass the British Empire was largely due to William II's policy of co-opting Australia.

Since the aid treaty between the German Empire and Australia came into effect, more than 100,000 Germans have immigrated to Australia and become permanent residents of Australia.

Of course, the vast majority of these people have obtained Australian citizenship and have nominally become real Australians.

But no one can guarantee that their loyalty to Australia will exceed that of the German Empire. This is also the intention and purpose of William II.

These Germans who have immigrated to Australia will try their best to change Australia's political decision-making and pull Australia onto the German chariot.

"Yes, population has always been one of Australia's biggest problems. Whether it is encouraging births internally or attracting immigrants externally, it is one of our most important decisions at any time. However, while attracting immigrants is important, these immigrants must also be treated to a certain extent. The assessment and test of time. Only by ensuring that these people have no other purposes can they truly obtain our Australian citizenship." Arthur nodded with a slight smile and said with great satisfaction.

Population is currently one of the criteria for measuring the strength of a country. The population of any powerful country is as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Although Australia has a land area as large as that of a major power, its population size is a huge problem.

Such a population is simply not enough to support Australia becoming a powerful country, let alone rising to become a great power.

Therefore, Australia must increase its population to more than 10 million before it can have a chance to compete with those powerful countries.

"In addition, the massive growth in population is certainly gratifying, but we cannot forget the welfare policies for low-income people. How are our nursing homes and orphanages being built? How many lonely elderly people and orphans have been rescued so far?" Arthur asked arrive.

"Your Highness, the number of our nursing homes and orphanages has initially met the domestic demand. Especially New South Wales and Victoria, the two most populous states, already have eleven and seven nursing homes respectively. Across Australia, , we have a total of 30 nursing homes and 51 orphanages, housing more than 6,000 lonely elderly people and more than 10,000 orphans. With the steady growth of the population, it is foreseeable that the number of our orphanages and nursing homes will continue to grow. It will usher in a huge growth, and it will basically stabilize within this range." Walter Brack, Minister of People's Livelihood, stood up quickly and replied.

It's not that Minister of Public Welfare Walter is unwilling to continue to vigorously build orphanages and nursing homes. However, judging from Australia's population size, the current number of orphanages and nursing homes is close to saturation. Most of the lonely elderly and orphans have been accommodated, and only a few have not been assisted.

Especially orphans, this is one of the issues that Arthur attaches great importance to. Because these orphans will be very loyal to the royal family and Arthur in the future after receiving financial aid.

In particular, some of these orphans often have special talents and will even be taken in directly by the royal family and trained to become Arthur's right-hand man in the future.

The loyalty of these orphans who have been cultivated since childhood is even higher than some talents inherited from Duke Arthur.

"Well, since the number of nursing homes and orphanages is close to saturation, the progress of these two constructions can be postponed, and the Ministry of People's Livelihood can focus on implementing the welfare of existing nursing homes and orphanages." Arthur nodded, Agreed with Minister Walter’s proposal.

Instructing Minister Walter to play, Arthur looked at Prime Minister Evan again and signaled to continue.

"In addition to nursing homes and orphanages, our schools and hospitals are being built to great satisfaction. A year ago we were building just one large hospital in each state. Now we have one in New South Wales and Victoria have two hospitals, and other states and regions have also been encouraging the opening of private clinics. Currently, more than a hundred private clinics have been established throughout Australia, and these private clinics are located in many cities in Australia. Being able to improve our medical situation at the lowest level,” Prime Minister Evan said with a smile.

The construction of large hospitals is progressing very slowly, and there are only eight hospitals in Australia so far.

However, the number of small private clinics is quite satisfactory. Compared with large hospitals with insufficient medical personnel and equipment, such small clinics are an effective way to improve Australia's most basic medical environment.

"Where is the school? How is our education situation currently? I remember there was the idea of ​​opening a technical school before. Has the Ministry of Education taken any action on this?" Arthur asked curiously.

The idea of ​​opening a technical school was brought up by Arthur at a previous cabinet meeting. However, due to busy schedules, he handed it over to the Ministry of Education and stopped asking.

When the changes in education were mentioned this time, Arthur remembered what he had said before about opening technical schools.

This is a school that can bring many skilled workers with excellent practical abilities to all walks of life in Australia, and is still very important to the current development of all walks of life in Australia.

If Australia's industrial development can have a large number of technical talents, then the speed of development will not be limited and it can usher in a period of violent explosion.

"It's done, Your Highness," replied Richard, the Minister of Education.

Although technical schools serve more industry and other sectors, because they are actually schools, construction and management are still carried out by the education department.
