Chapter 307 The Military Layout of 1912
Chapter 307 The Military Layout of 1912 (Ask for a monthly ticket!)
On December 12, just a few days after the Christmas holiday, the Australasian government entered into tense government affairs again.
The last day of the year is often also the time for the cabinet government's annual report meeting.
However, because the new cabinet government has only been working for a few months, and the summary is also for the previous cabinet government, the content of the annual report is still relatively small.
Of course, the top priority of this meeting is actually the planning of the new cabinet government for the term of office.
Because of the chaotic situation in Europe and around the world, no one can be sure that war will come tomorrow.
This also means that the task of the fourth cabinet government is extremely arduous, and even during their tenure, it is very likely that they will experience an unprecedented war that the world has never seen before.
This also means that the role of the fourth cabinet government is very important. If you are not careful, a wrong choice may ruin the country's ten-year development.
Although the history of future generations can teach Arthur many experiences and lessons, who can guarantee that the development of this world will be like the history of future generations?
Will Italy jump ship?Will America join the war?Will a revolution break out in Russia?
Leaving aside these three issues, Australasia itself is also a factor that Arthur is not sure about.
Theoretically, whichever side Australasia joins can provide some help within its capacity, and even change the direction of future wars to a certain extent.
But Arthur's purpose is more than that.What Arthur is plotting is to allow Australasia to gain a higher international status in this war and absorb the achievements of the defeated countries. After the First World War, it must at least become a chess player rather than a pawn.
Although the annual report meeting has been greatly streamlined, the reports are basically relatively important news.
截止目前1911年12月31日,澳大拉西亚人口正式达到了1051万余人,澳大利亚地区人口827万,新西兰人口214万。
The colony of New Guinea, Australian Timor, and the Royal Territory have populations of 7.3, 1.9, and 0.8, respectively.
Australasia also officially has its second city with a population of more than one million, Melbourne.
Melbourne's population has reached more than 104 million so far, and it is the economic center of Australasia after Sydney. It and Sydney are also known as the two brightest pearls in Oceania.
After more than ten years of development, at least within the cities of Australasia, the level of development has initially caught up with ordinary cities in Europe.
Cities with a population of one million, like Sydney and Melbourne, are not inferior to top European cities in terms of scale and development.
In fact, this is quite normal. After all, to put it bluntly, the current situation in Australasia is to use the power of the whole country to develop these two cities.
It is difficult for these two cities to find rivals in Australasia, which has also created the current dominance of the two cities in Australasia.
Even under the suggestion of Minister Grant, Arthur has already formulated and promulgated relevant immigration laws, vigorously encouraging immigrants in remote areas, colonies, and small cities, and reducing the welfare benefits for large cities to a certain extent.
But this is still unstoppable. Among the nearly one million immigrants each year, more than 10% of them choose to stay in big cities, or at least go to cities with a population of tens of thousands of people like the capitals of the states.
After all, only big cities can have more jobs and more development opportunities waiting for these immigrants to find.
What else can a small city do?Except for the special existence of the Leonora industrial base, most of the small cities are only engaged in agricultural development, and at most they are just farmers.
Immigrants more or less have a dream of getting rich, and they are not happy to let them be honest and responsible farmers.
A population of tens of millions is a threshold, a necessary condition for officially becoming a powerful country.
In the current world, a country with a population of less than [-] million is destined to be impossible to become a powerful country.
But in fact, the population of tens of millions is really just a condition.Arthur wanted to realize his goals and ambitions, and Australasia's population of tens of millions was far from enough.
The combined standing and reserve armies of European countries are as high as several million close to 1000 million.
Although all mobilization will damage the foundation of the country, it also means that these countries have the courage and cards to fight to the death with the power of the whole country.
Looking at Australasia again, 50 troops may be the current limit, and a little more will be very serious damage to the country's development.
But if Australasia wants to become a great power with international status, in addition to a powerful navy, an army with a size of more than one million is also very necessary.
This also means that the population of Australasia must exceed 2000 million in order to have the means and confidence to wrestle with other powers.
Judging from the current speed at which immigrants are introduced into Australasia, it will take at least another ten years for the population to exceed 2000 million.
If you count the outbreak of war in Europe, countries will definitely restrict people from leaving the country.This also means that immigration in Australasia will definitely decrease, and may even decrease significantly, when the war is about to start and during the war.
In other words, it may take 20 years for Australasia's population to break through 2000 million.
Twenty years later, World War II may be about to start. By then, Australasia will have a certain confidence in the population. It is too late.
It seems necessary to use some means to speed up the absorption of immigrants before and after the war.
For the Australasian government, there is also good news that the total fiscal revenue in 1911 hit a new high, reaching 7841 million Australian dollars.
The continuous growth of total fiscal revenue actually means that the achievements of Australasia's development have been gradually revealed.
Of course, it cannot be denied that the growth of fiscal revenue depends on orders such as arms trade and food exports, but this is good news anyway.
Of course, the government's total financial expenditure is also growing. In 1911, the total fiscal expenditure of the Australasian government was as high as 6700 million Australian dollars, achieving a fiscal surplus of more than 1141 million Australian dollars.
Among them, military expenditure has reached 2871 million Australian dollars. Although the size of the navy has not increased, the army has expanded by a full 40. Coupled with various weapons and equipment, Australasia's military expenditure has fully occupied the government's More than [-]% of the total expenditure can be regarded as a major feature of this era.
In fact, the military expenditures of European countries are generally high. After all, everyone knows that the upcoming enemy is a combination of several major powers.
If the military expenditure is not high at this time, the losses to the country and the government in the future will be much higher than the expensive military expenditure in the past few years.
In order to expand and develop their military, some small countries did not hesitate to borrow large amounts of loans from home and abroad to expand their military.
This can also be regarded as a game, the winner gets the territory, population and war reparations.Not only can it fill the vacancy of the previous loan, but it can even make the country's potential go further.
As for failure, for these guys who dare to gamble, maybe they really haven't thought about the consequences of failure.
Of course, countries that dare to play games actually have some confidence.In the ongoing Italian-Turkish war, Italy has vowed to launch the war relying on the power of the great powers, its powerful navy, and the timing when other powers will not intervene.
As for the Balkan countries that are currently preparing, they are not only expanding their armies for war, they have also received support from the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the attention of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is all attracted by the current Italian-Turkish war. The reason for preparing for war against Turkey.
The current navy and arms race in Europe can also be seen as the fact that the two major military groups in Europe do not have the confidence to defeat each other, so they can only hope to expand their armaments wildly to gain more advantages over the enemy.
The current available funds of the Australasian government have exceeded 5000 million Australian dollars. This can be regarded as a bit of confidence for the Australasian government. It can expand armaments on a large scale and strengthen the country's defense when the war is coming or when the war is coming. strength.
If you count the large amount of loans from the private sector and at home and abroad, I am afraid that Australasia can consume at least [-] million funds. It seems that it is not impossible to form a top three navy in the world.
After a brief report, the next step is the ruling plan of the new cabinet government for the next four years.
Judging from the current situation in Europe, war may break out at any time.This also means that in the next four years, the development of the military industry is very important.
The first is the financial budget for the coming year. In terms of national defense alone, the cabinet government approved a budget of 1912 million yuan for the Ministry of Defense in 3000, but it also put forward several requirements for the Ministry of National Defense. The daily training of all the troops should make all the troops an elite army that can be used.
As for the navy, Arthur hopes that the navy can organize several more high seas exercises to improve the familiarity of naval soldiers with the operation of warships, and also strengthen the combat effectiveness of the navy.
There is a saying that goes well, when the cannon fires, there will be ten thousand taels of gold.This cannon also includes naval guns on warships.
Even the funds consumed by naval guns are much higher than ordinary artillery.The cost of organizing any naval exercise can run into the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
If the entire fleet is dispatched for a large-scale exercise, the cost may be several times higher.
However, various exercises must also be done.After all, in the absence of various battles, apart from daily training, this kind of exercise is the only way for the navy to increase its combat effectiveness.
The defense budget of up to 3000 million Australian dollars is prepared for a large number of exercises and training of the army and navy.
Arthur even directly stated that if the military expenditure exceeds the government's budget, the royal family is willing to subsidize 200 million Australian dollars per year.But the condition is that the subsidized military expenditure must be spent in real terms. We are not afraid of spending money, but the spending must be effective.
The current royal consortium is not short of money, and its annual net income is as high as 5000 million Australian dollars, which is not much worse than that of the government.
The annual tax revenue brought by the royal consortium to the government is as high as more than 800 million Australian dollars, and it is also a major source of government tax revenue.
At present, the total assets of the royal family consortium are as high as [-] million pounds, which is a full [-] million Australian dollars.
In addition to the 1 million pounds loaned to the government, the total value of various factories and enterprises invested and built by the royal consortium is also as high as more than [-] million pounds.
In addition, the royal consortium also has a cash flow of up to 1.5 million pounds, which is 3 million Australian dollars, and tens of millions of Australian dollars in stocks.
A few years ago, the main income of the royal consortium was still based on Benz cars, but now, the income of Benz cars is less than half of the total income of the royal consortium.
It is no exaggeration to say that the income of the royal consortium is enough to feed all the troops in Australasia, and even has a surplus of more than 2000 million Australian dollars every year.
This also led to the royal private army, the First and Second Guards Division's equipment being extremely arrogant, and it is also the only unit in Australasia that has been equipped with military trucks.
Of course, the real reason why the two guard divisions are equipped with military trucks is because most of them are stationed near Sydney and are responsible for guarding the capital and the palace.
The traffic environment near Sydney is very convenient, so it is more convenient to travel by truck.
But other troops are different. Most of the other troops are stationed in mountainous or remote areas, and it is not so convenient to transport them by truck.
Of course, the lack of government budget is another major reason.I believe that after the expansion of military spending in the new year, other standing troops should also see some military trucks.
The wealth of the royal consortium is also the confidence for Arthur to develop advanced military weapons including tanks, aircraft carriers, and aircraft.
You must know that so far, the research and development of all these advanced military equipment has consumed all the funds of the royal consortium.
Although the research on these three weapons is small, it also costs millions of Australian dollars each year.
If it weren't for the royal consortium's wealth and wealth, the government would not dare to bear such consumption at will.
This is actually the confidence of having money. If you don't have money, let alone start research, even recruiting talents will be in the way.
Speaking of this, I have to thank Arthur's grandmother, Queen Victoria.
You know, the legacy left to Arthur by the old Duke Arthur was only more than 8000 million pounds, and the rest was brought to Arthur by Queen Victoria.
Even New Zealand and New Guinea were gifts from Queen Victoria to Arthur.
If it weren't for Queen Victoria's will, I'm afraid it would not be easy for Australia to acquire these two regions.
After all, based on the relationship between Arthur and Edward at the time, even if these two areas were basically not important to the British Empire, Edward VII would secretly obstruct it.
This may be the advantage of birth!Born in the direct line of the royal family of the British Empire, and the only son of Queen Victoria's most beloved son, it seems to be a matter of course to get these.
For a person with a family background, rational use of his background will also allow him to gain more benefits and avoid some detours.
