The Rise of Australia

Chapter 327 Nikola Tesla

1. Under Arthur's order, the Australasian Sports Department was formally established and was temporarily under the management of the People's Livelihood Department. new

This also means that the position of the Minister of Sports has a political level similar to that of the mayor, but it is a government department under the management of the People's Livelihood Department.

Arthur's intention to establish the sports department was not only to fulfill the promise made to Propaganda Minister Grant at the time and let Minister Grant recommend the candidate for sports minister, but also to develop the sports industry in Australasia in a more formalized manner.

After experiencing the Sydney Olympics, many Australasians have shown interest in sports.

In addition, Arthur encouraged the development of sports, so within a short period of time, various sports associations in Australasia were born.

It ranges from track and field and swimming to shooting and football. Various sports associations require a more formal department to manage them.

After all, sports today are extremely susceptible to political influence and can easily affect politics.

Arthur's first step is to establish a sports department, and the next step is to organize various sports events to bring Australasia's sports development into the forefront of the world.

In fact, the reason why Arthur is confident is because the current sports development in various countries around the world has only just begun.

Those with better conditions, such as powerful countries, can allocate some funds to build training venues and provide better food for athletes.

Athletes with poorer conditions may be recruited on a temporary basis with varying levels of training, and some may be successfully selected just out of curiosity.

This is also the direct reason why whether the host country of the Olympic Games bears the travel expenses is a direct factor in whether each country will participate in the Olympic Games.

If we can take advantage of this opportunity to develop sports in Australasia and even maintain its status as a sports power, not only will it be able to create many new entertainment activities for Australasian civilians, but the advantages of sports will also be beneficial to Australasia. Said that it also becomes very important in peacetime. new

By then, the competition held by Australasia itself will also increase in value, bringing a lot of prestige and popularity to Australasia. At the same time, these sports leagues will also become a considerable source of income.

As can be seen from the huge attention received by the football and basketball leagues in later generations, as long as Australasia becomes the best in these sports, there will never be a shortage of fame and money.

Although the current basketball has been born, its influence and popularity cannot be compared with football.

At least in football, the conditions for establishing an international competition are already in place. If Australasia can seize this opportunity and host the Australasian Cup, it may not be impossible to get a share of the football pie.

Of course, the specific planning of the sports department will naturally need to be done personally by the future sports minister.

Arthur only has a general framework and vision for the development of the sports department. How to realize it depends on the efforts of the sports department.

After noting Secretary Grant, Grant proposed a candidate for the athletic department, Harry McDowell.

Harry MacDowell is an important figure in the Fine Gael Party. He is somewhat established in sports and is not at a loss when it comes to work.

Of course, more importantly, as a candidate from the Unionist Party like Minister Grant, if Harry McDowell can become the Minister of Sports, it will naturally strengthen the Unionist Party again.

As for Minister Grant's behavior of electing his own people, Arthur was not surprised and did not care.

For Arthur, as long as Fine Gael is in control, it doesn't matter who the sports minister is.

After Arthur's nod, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Harry McDowell would become the new sports minister.

After the government's announcement, Harry McDowell officially took office as Minister of Sports. In terms of sports, he carried out various reforms and improvements in Australasia. new

At Arthur's suggestion, Harry MacDowell was already preparing to host Australasia's first football tournament, the Australasian King's Cup.

It is expected to be held for the first time in 1, and will be held every four years thereafter, becoming the most formal, largest and most watched football event in Australasia.

If nothing unexpected, the first Australasian King's Cup was held at the National Stadium of Australasia, a large stadium that can accommodate 50,000 spectators.

Arthur is looking forward to this new event, and the scale of the Australasian King's Cup will also be open to the world and it will be an international football event.

The specific procedures and matters for hosting the King's Cup are left to the sports department and Harry McDowell.

Arthur was content and relaxed, just waiting for the results of the athletic department's plan.

As time enters mid-September, the number of tourists from Europe and the world has not only not decreased, but the number is still increasing.

New 𝗑.𝖼𝗈𝗆

The increasing number of tourists is also a challenge to the security of Australasia, which has also caused many police officers who originally came to Sydney to maintain order in the Olympic Games to stay in Sydney until now.

Robert, the Minister of Public Security, should be the busiest minister in recent times. There are many foreign tourists, and the safety of these tourists and social order have become the biggest challenges to the Australasian government.

No one dares to make any mistakes at this moment because it could affect Australasia's international prestige and immigration appeal.

As we all know, Arthur attaches great importance to Australasia's international prestige and immigrant attraction, which directly determines how many immigrants Australasia can attract.

If something goes wrong in public security, you will not only face domestic and foreign attention and accountability, but you may also face Arthur's wrath.

Not only in Sydney, but also in many famous scenic spots in Australasia, the public security department has temporarily deployed additional police officers to patrol to avoid any accidents.

Taking advantage of the increase in foreign tourists, Arthur assigned a task to the Royal Security Intelligence Agency, which was to pay close attention to the situation of foreign tourists. If any of these foreign tourists included well-known European and American scientists, physicists, chemists and other talents, Arthur would be notified immediately. Se, and win over as much as possible.

You must know that in addition to dignitaries and capitalists, those who are eligible for international tourism are also likely to be internationally renowned experts and talents.

Because any talented person can easily get a high-paying job. For example, if some famous European physicists and chemists choose to work for the country, their salaries will easily exceed hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

The combined income of well-known professors at a university can exceed thousands of pounds. This kind of income can fully afford cross-border travel. After all, these people are also considered the upper class of the country.

If such talent comes to Australasia, it would be a real shame not to win over them.

Arthur's attitude towards talents is that he is extremely eager. If it weren't for Australasia's consistent emphasis on talents, and Arthur's willingness to spend a lot of money to attract talents from Europe, I'm afraid it would be impossible for Australasia's various technologies to achieve such great progress. .

After receiving Arthur's order, the Royal Security Intelligence Service focused on investigating foreign tourists.

Although the management of foreign tourists in this era is not so strict, it is still very simple to distinguish the occupation types of foreign tourists.

The primary goal of the Royal Security Intelligence Service is to count tourists who look like scientific workers, and then investigate the identities and backgrounds of these people to determine whether they are the group of people Arthur is looking for.

After half a month of collection and investigation, among the hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists, the Royal Security Intelligence Service initially counted at least a thousand people, who seemed to have a high probability of engaging in scientific research.

After another investigation for more than half a month, the Royal Security Intelligence Service finally submitted a report to Arthur.

According to a rough survey by the Royal Security Intelligence Service, among all the tourists in Australasia, there are still many actual scientific researchers.

There are less than 40 scientific researchers who enjoy a high reputation in a certain country.

Among these 40 people, there should be only one who can truly be called internationally famous. The remaining 3 have a certain degree of popularity in their own country, or just have a certain degree of popularity in their own industry.

Although the number of these people was only 40, Arthur was not greedy at all. After all, compared to Australasia's talent recruitment plan, this can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

What pleased Arthur the most was the only scientific researcher with an international reputation. He had a famous name called Nikola Tesla.

Of course, Tesla has nothing to do with that famous car company in later generations. This is a man who is extremely close to God.

The original inventor of the AC network widely used in Australasia was the famous Tesla.

After learning that Tesla was actually in Australasia, Arthur without saying a word immediately ordered the Royal Security Intelligence Service to pay attention to Tesla's every move and explain why Tesla came to Australasia and why he came to Australasia. Find out what Xia was doing before.

Speaking of Nikola Tesla, there are countless legendary stories behind him. Whether it was the dispute with Edison about direct current and alternating current, or Tesla's countless inventions and research in his life, it was enough to make this man the most famous inventor in the first half of the first century. , among the physicists.

After receiving Arthur's order, the Royal Security Intelligence Service immediately launched an investigation into Tesla and even contacted some intelligence personnel in the United States.
