Rise of Australia

Chapter 21 Special Gift

"That's good, child." Queen Victoria touched Arthur's forehead again lovingly, and asked with a smile: "Do you have any preliminary plans for the development of Australia? Do you have enough funds?"

"Grandmother, I think the most important thing for Australia at present is to develop basic industries and education. Compared with European countries, Australia is weak in all aspects and needs to sharply improve the most basic industrial strength. And industry and other industries, Both need to cultivate a large number of talents before they can develop. Therefore, education is also an important part that must be grasped." Arthur thought for a while and said.

This was planned by Arthur in advance. It is impossible to develop various advanced industrial systems in Australia in a short period of time.

First, Australia's basic industries are extremely backward, and second, there is a serious shortage of talent reserves, which lack the necessary conditions for the development of advanced industries.

Rather than aiming too high, it is better to focus on building basic industries and developing education in a short period of time.

After a few years, the initial development has achieved results, and then the goal can be set on building advanced industrial and technological enterprises and catching up with European countries.

"Well, Arthur, I'm very pleased that you didn't become so ambitious and complacent because of your temporary success. Even if you have a lot of financial support, it is impossible for Australia to catch up with the development of European countries within five years. But through For the accumulation of basic industries and the accumulation of talents through education, coupled with the large number of talents and immigrants from Europe, Australia is still very hopeful that it will take on a new look in ten years." Queen Victoria nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Ah said Ser.

"For you, Australia's current environment is also very favorable. To the west is the territory of the British Empire, and to the east is the vast Pacific Ocean. Whether it is the dragon country or the island country in the north, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack you. In such a situation Now, you have a lot of time to develop." Queen Victoria continued to walk, holding Arthur's hand, and said as she walked.

Arthur kept nodding his head. What Queen Victoria said was correct. Australia is indeed in the golden stage of development. Whether it is geographical location or mineral resources, Australia has the capital to become a powerful country.

The only relatively scarce population resource, you can take advantage of the dark clouds of war in Europe now, and the European population is moving out in large numbers to introduce immigrants.

Generally speaking, Australia is definitely a country with top development potential in this period of time. As long as there are no major problems in the decision-making of the ruler, Australia will definitely appear in the group of powerful countries decades later.

"Should you still live in that government building?" Queen Victoria asked suddenly.

When Queen Victoria was in Australia before, she and Arthur were arranged to live on the top floor of the government affairs building.

Although the top floor has undergone simple decoration, it is still only a simple decoration, which does not match the identity of Duke Arthur.

After Arthur owns more than 2 million pounds of property and an entire country, this building is even more incompatible with Arthur's identity.

"That's right, grandma. Even if you live in such an ordinary manor, it's a high profile for me to live there." Arthur said with a smile.

Arthur knew what Queen Victoria wanted to ask. After all, Arthur had obtained the rights now and had a lot of money in his hands. It seemed natural to build a palace for himself.

But in fact, Arthur didn't have such an idea in a short time.Even if it is an extremely simple palace, the money spent is definitely not a small number.

What's more, under the circumstances that Australia's basic industry and infrastructure are very backward, even a small palace will require a long construction period.

Besides, the palace will surely attract the attention of all Australians after it is built.

As soon as Arthur vowed to make Australia develop, he spent a lot of money to build a palace for himself. Even Arthur's own funds will inevitably disappoint some people.

It is better to invest all the funds in the development of the country first, and then recover the funds after the country is built.In this way, when Arthur built the palace, not only would the Australians not object, but they would take it for granted.

"Well, this is actually what I want to tell you. Although it seems that you have funds of more than 2 million pounds, you are even richer than the royal families of some European countries. But in fact, once these funds are invested in the country In the big hole of development, you will find that these funds are just a drop in the bucket. It is good that you have gained a lot of prestige in Australia, so you must not lose these prestige easily." Queen Victoria nodded in relief again, looking at the The boy who was already half a head taller than himself said with a little emotion: "At first I was worried about you, but now it seems that you have initially grown into a qualified ruler. Arthur, I am proud of you, If your father knows all this, he will be very pleased."

Arthur didn't answer anything, but the hand supporting Queen Victoria became stronger.

The happy time is always very short. As Queen Victoria and Arthur stopped and went, the afternoon passed by unconsciously. By the time the two realized it, the sun had already set.

"Okay, Arthur, let's stop here. I know you still have a lot of things to do in Australia. Grandma hasn't reached the end of her life yet, so I don't need you to be with me all the time." Queen Victoria finally patted Arthur's hand and smiled. Said to Arthur.

"Grandmother." Arthur was a little bit reluctant. He originally wanted to stay on the Isle of Wight to spend a few more days with Queen Victoria, but he didn't expect Queen Victoria to drive away in just a few hours.

"Good boy, go back to Australia. No matter when, you must always remember that you must never be influenced by your emotions. As the ruler of a country, the country is the most important thing to you." Queen Victoria touched Arthur's forehead, enjoined.

"Well, grandma, I see." Arthur nodded vigorously, and bid farewell to Queen Victoria.

port.

When Arthur boarded the boat and was about to return, Princess Beatrice came slowly, handed Arthur a suitcase, and said: "Arthur, your grandmother asked me to give it to you. You Grandma said that this is what you will use in the future, but she also asked me to warn you, at least for five years, do not use what is inside, even for her sake."

　In the first update, some book friends said that there is no revenge, but it is not true, it is just that the timing is not right.Besides, judging from the fact that Queen Victoria loved Arthur, would she really not leave Arthur behind?

　　Also, ask for support!
