Rise of Australia

Chapter 327 Nikola Tesla

Chapter 327 Nikola Tesla
In September 1912, following Arthur's order, the Australasian Sports Department was formally established, temporarily under the management of the People's Livelihood Department.

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 he made to the Minister of Propaganda, Grant, to let Minister Grant recommend the candidate for the Minister of Sports, but also to develop the sports industry in Australasia more formally.

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

In addition, Arthur is very encouraging to the development of sports, so in a short period of time, various sports associations in Australasia have been born.

As small as track and field and swimming, as big as shooting and football.All kinds of sports associations need a more formal department to manage them.

After all, for current sports, it is extremely easy to be influenced by politics, and it is also extremely easy to affect politics.

Arthur's first plan is to set up a sports department, and the next step is to set up various sports events, so that the development of various sports in Australasia will be at the forefront of the world.

In fact, the reason why Arthur is confident is that the current sports development in all countries in the world is just in its infancy.

Those with better conditions, such as the great powers, can spend some funds to build training venues and provide food for athletes.

For those with poorer conditions, athletes may be recruited temporarily, with varying degrees of training, and some may be selected just out of curiosity.

This is also the direct reason why whether the host country of the Olympic Games bears the travel expenses determines whether to participate in the Olympic Games for each country.

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

At that time, the gold content of the competitions held by Australasia itself will also increase accordingly. While bringing a lot of prestige and popularity to Australasia, these sports leagues will also become a source of considerable income.

It can be seen from the huge attention received by football and basketball leagues in later generations that as long as Australasia becomes the leader of 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 terms of football, the conditions for the establishment of an international competition are already met.If Australasia can seize this opportunity and host an Australasian Cup, it may not be impossible to get a share of football.

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

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 a note to Minister Grant, Grant proposed a candidate for the athletic department, Harry McDowell.

Harry McDowell is an important figure in the Fine Gael Party, and he is well-established in sports, and he is not at a loss when working.

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

As Arthur expected, Arthur didn't care about Minister Grant's selection of his own people.

For Arthur, as long as the Gael Party is under his control, it doesn't matter who the Minister of Sports is.

After Arthur's nod, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Harry McDowell would be the new Minister of Sports.

After the government announced to the outside world, Harry McDowell officially took office as Minister of Sports. In terms of sports, he carried out various reforms and improvements for Australasia.

At Arthur's suggestion, Harry MacDowell was already working on hosting Australasia's first football tournament, the Australasian King's Cup.

It is expected that the first session will be held in 1914, and it 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 Australasian National Stadium, a large stadium that can accommodate [-] 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. It is an international football event.

The specific process and matters of the Copa del Rey will be handed over to the sports department and Harry McDowell.

Arthur is happy and relaxed, just waiting for the results of the sports department's plan.

As time entered mid-September, the number of tourists from Europe and the world not only did not decrease, but even increased.

The increasing number of tourists is also a challenge to the law and order in Australasia. This has also caused many police officers who were originally transferred to Sydney to maintain order in the Olympic Games and have not left Sydney until now.

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

No one dares to make any mistakes at this moment, because it may affect Australasia's international reputation and immigration attractiveness.

As we all know, Arthur attaches great importance to Australasia's international reputation and the attractiveness of immigrants, which directly determines how many immigrants Australasia can attract.

If something goes wrong in terms of law and order, it will not only face domestic and foreign attention and accountability, but also may face Arthur's anger.

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

Taking advantage of the increase in foreign tourists, Arthur gave the Royal Security Intelligence Service a task, which is to closely monitor the situation of foreign tourists. Once these foreign tourists include well-known scientists, physicists, and chemists in Europe and the United States, they will immediately rule the country. Se, and win over as much as possible.

It should be known that besides dignitaries and capitalists, internationally famous experts and talents are also very likely to be eligible for international tourism.

Because all capable talents can easily get high-paying jobs.For example, some famous physicists and chemists in Europe, as long as they choose to work for the country, their salary will easily exceed hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

As for well-known professors in a university, the total income can exceed thousands of pounds. Such income can fully afford cross-border travel. After all, these people are also considered to be the upper class of the country.

If such talents come to Australasia, it would be a pity not to win them over.

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

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

Although the management of foreign tourists is not so strict in this era, it is still very simple to distinguish the occupation type 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 identity background 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, and it seems that there is a high probability of engaging in scientific research.

After investigating again 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 quite a few actual scientific researchers.

However, there are less than 40 well-known scientific researchers in a certain country.

Among these 40 people, there should be only one person who can truly be called internationally famous.The remaining 39 people basically only have a certain reputation in their own country, or only have a certain reputation in their industry.

Although the number of these people is only 40, Arthur is not greedy at all.After all, this is a surprise compared to Australasia's talent acquisition plan.

What pleased Arthur the most was the only scientific researcher who enjoyed international fame. He had a famous name called Nikola Tesla.

Of course, Tesla has nothing to do with the 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, without further ado, Arthur immediately ordered the Royal Security Intelligence Service to pay attention to Tesla's every move, explain why Tesla came to Australasia, and why Tesla came to Australasia. Find out what West Asia was doing before.

Speaking of Nikola Tesla, there are too many legends behind him.Whether it is the dispute between direct current and alternating current with Edison, or the countless inventions and researches in Tesla's life, it is enough for this man to enter the hundred years from the second half of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. , among the most famous inventors and 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.
