Rise of Australia

Chapter 35 Relief and Security

It can be said that Heath Homan came and went quickly. After successfully obtaining the support of Arthur, Heath Homan soon embarked on a journey back to Europe to seek the support of other European national football associations and create his own. Heartfelt FIFA.

What?You ask Heath Homann what to do as the secretary-general of the Dutch Football Association?
Heath Homann is not a fool. Compared with the Secretary-General of the Dutch Football Association and the Secretary-General of FIFA, a fool knows which one to choose.

Sydney, February 1900, 8.

The government affairs building was extremely busy on this day, or a certain room of the government building was extremely busy.

Not that today is an important day, but for all Australians, this day is a day worth celebrating and commemorating.

After several months of secret investigation and preparation, the Royal Rescue Committee promised by Arthur at the gate of the New South Wales Parliament finally started the first round of operations, which is to distribute food for free in all Australian cities.

Although the Rescue Committee screened the entire Australian population based on the results of the survey during this period, those with an annual personal income of more than ten pounds or a family with an annual income of more than twenty pounds would be excluded from the scope of food distribution.

But even so, according to a rough estimate by the Rescue Committee, the number of people who distributed food this time still exceeded one-third of Australia's population, reaching more than 120 million.

Fortunately, Australia has achieved self-production and self-sale of food before, and the rescue committee can also buy enough food in Australia for distribution.

Eight o'clock in the morning, on the streets of Sydney.

Due to the shortage of manpower, the Rescue Committee has only one food distribution point in each city, but the distribution of food will last for one and a half months.

During this period, as long as they are determined to be low-income people, they can receive a piece of food for free.

Although it is only one serving, the portion is not low.Each ration has two bags of flour, one bag of potatoes, one bag of seasonal vegetables and one carton of milk.

This food is enough for everyone to eat for several months, and it is also Arthur's determination to relieve all poor Australians.

These foods alone cost about one pound and 5 shillings per serving. If all the poor Australians in the estimate receive these foods, then the Aid Committee will spend at least about 150 million pounds for this.

But these expenses are definitely worth it, so that Arthur can fulfill his promise and maintain and consolidate his position in the hearts of Australians.

Secondly, such a large-scale distribution of food can also improve the favorability of all Australians towards Arthur.

After all, who doesn't like a monarch who can immediately stand up to rescue himself in times of crisis?

As the food aid was carried out, Arthur also began to inspect the streets of Sydney.

At the last cabinet meeting, Arthur repeatedly emphasized that the Ministry of Public Security should maintain law and order in a short period of time and greatly reduce crimes throughout Australia.

At present, it seems that Australia is indeed quite different from before. The streets are also cleaned spotlessly by cleaners hired by the government. It looks like a modern city, although the surrounding floors do not look high.

Arthur is also really satisfied with the current appearance of Sydney. Compared with when he first came, Sydney is a little less messy and a little more tidy and orderly.

"Minister Thomas, the Ministry of Public Security has done a good job during this period, and Sydney is a bit more modern than before." Arthur said with a smile to the Minister of Public Security, Thomas Cech, who followed him respectfully.

"Yes, Your Highness. Thanks to the [-] troops you dispatched to me, with their help, we quickly destroyed several relatively criminal gangs and re-established order. Not only are there more gangs in the city streets now It is very tidy, and the crime rate in major cities has also been greatly reduced." Minister Thomas quickly replied respectfully, not forgetting to compliment Arthur again.

"How is the construction of the police stations in each city? Is there any problem with the recruitment of police?" Arthur continued to ask.

There is no formal police academy in Australia. Police recruits are selected from Australians, and they can be employed after a short period of training.

This system is full of loopholes. After all, the position of the police can be equipped with guns in the future. If a policeman without a sense of responsibility and responsibility is allowed to carry a gun on duty, one can imagine what will happen.

"Your Highness, the police stations in various cities are already being established, and the current progress is not consistent. But we will not build the police stations, at least until our new police training is completed, whether the police stations are built or not will not affect the current public security. The situation has an impact," Thomas said.

Because Arthur modified the police training process, not only doubling the training time several times, but also specifically emphasizing the need to cultivate the police's sense of responsibility and responsibility.

The police, who originally only needed to be trained for one week, now need at least three months of training to ensure that they are a policeman who is loyal to the country, the royal family, and has a sense of responsibility for his position before he can officially take up his post.

This is not over yet. After becoming a real policeman, he has to go through three months of training before he can officially get a gun.

Compared with the relatively simple police training systems in other countries, this training system has been improved a lot. At least it has greatly reduced the problem of unprofessional police officers. During the six-month screening process, most police officers can be guaranteed Have a certain sense of responsibility for your position.

"Well, your approach is right. Police training, including the establishment of police stations, cannot be rushed. Although Australia's law and order is currently short of manpower, it is still necessary to uphold the attitude of selecting the best and cultivating elites. The future of the Australian police will be The most important part of maintaining law and order in Australia, in the screening of police officers, its strictness is even compared with that of the army. I don't want any problems with police officers in the future, especially for those police officers with guns Come on." Arthur ordered.

In many countries, especially those colonies, the police system is very imperfect, even very chaotic.

Under such circumstances, the power of a policeman with a gun will be infinitely magnified, but if the policeman lacks a little sense of morality and professionalism, he may pose a huge threat and hidden danger to civilians.

But the question is, who is ultimately to blame for the problems caused by the police?That, of course, is the government.

Under the background of Australia, it will be the government and the royal family who will blame the police in the future.But whether it is the government or the royal family, the ultimate power is concentrated in the hands of Arthur alone.

This also means that if any problems arise in the future, Arthur himself will be ultimately responsible.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Arthur, who values ​​his own reputation and prestige among the people, which is why Arthur has repeatedly paid attention to the police screening system.
