Rise of Australia

Chapter 543 International Students and Asian Faces
At a time when the whole world is in various turmoils, Australasia, which is stable and stable, is definitely the most unique.

This has also allowed Australasia to attract a large number of foreign immigrants, as well as foreign students from all major regions of the world.
Looks like a visitor from abroad.

As the Western power closest to Asia, Australasia has naturally attracted the attention of a large number of backward Asian countries, and has taken Australasia as a model for learning and a target for reference.

Of course, the Western powers here do not just have a geographical meaning, but refer to those highly developed countries with Western concepts under the European system.

But having said that, the earth is round and there is no absolute division between east and west.If we take the Pacific as a reference, Asia is in the west, and America is in the east of the Pacific.

There are multiple benefits to using Australasia as a target for reference and study.

First of all, Australasia, as the closest Western power to Asia, is much closer to Asia than European and American countries. It can not only save a considerable amount of time, but also save money on the journey.

Secondly, the environment in Australasia is relatively stable, and there is no need to worry about the economic difficulties and civil wars faced by European countries.

Furthermore, the development of Australasia seems to have become the top group of countries, but 20 years ago, Australasia was only a few colonies. Although it was not lagging behind, its overall scale and strength were compared to those of today. In terms of status, there is a huge difference.

Australasia can achieve a huge improvement in national power and a leap in comprehensive strength in just 20 years, which is also what attracts some countries and intellectuals.

Arthur looked at the international student data reported by the Ministry of Education. Since the end of the war in 1917, the number of foreign students in Australasia has grown by a qualitative leap.

In 1917, there were 781 international students in Australasia, which increased to 1918 in 1077.

Later in 1919 and now in 1920, the number of international students reached 1540 and 1922 respectively.

Among the nearly 2000 international students, the number of European and American students is less than one-fifth, and the total number is about 370.

The remaining nearly 1600 international students are all from Asia, which also proves the degree of attraction of Australasia to Asian countries.

It is worth mentioning that even if it is an island country that is a major power, hundreds of international students study in Australasia every year.

However, international students from island countries do not receive any preferential treatment in Australasia. They are treated the same as other ordinary countries, and they do not have the opportunity to compete for scholarships and grants.

Although it is not possible to directly eliminate international students from island countries, Arthur is not without any means to deal with international students from these island countries.

First of all, it directly affects the thinking of international students from these island countries.The island country advocates military affairs, so Arthur instructs the university to crazily instill the idea of ​​​​peace into the island country's international students, and try to create a rift between them and the island country's government as much as possible.

Of course, the probability of success with this method is actually very low, and Arthur did not give any hope.

Although Australasia cannot target these international students openly, conflicts between international students from other countries and international students from island countries are not something that Australasia can avoid.

Some of the more important majors, including major military schools in Australasia, will basically refuse to accept international students from island countries under various excuses.

Although it is inevitable for these international students from island countries to study in European and American countries, at least in Australasia, they cannot learn much key knowledge. This can be regarded as making some contribution to the world.

While Arthur was watching the development of international students, several Asian faces were already discussing the development of Australasia on the outskirts of Sydney.

"Everyone, these Australasians have been able to develop into top powers in less than 20 years. This is something we must learn from and admire." One of them couldn't help but admire. "This is not necessarily true." Another person retorted: "The relationship between Australasia and the United Kingdom is like mother and child, and the relationship with Germany was also very good before. In addition, Australia has such rich products, it is normal for it to develop in a short period of time .”

"You can't say that." The person at the beginning said with a smile: "Australia has rich products, don't we? It's true that Australia is vast, but we are not bad at all. Why can't we succeed in a short time? How about development? In addition to internal and external troubles, the important reasons were not being integrated with the international community and not fully understanding the advanced knowledge of these countries in the Western world. Only when I arrived in Australasia did I realize that the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty were bullshit. . What we need is not the so-called prosperous age, but these high-rise buildings, these factory equipment, and even more advanced cultural knowledge from Western countries. Everyone, we are still far from learning from the foreigners and gaining skills to conquer the foreigners!"

"But it also tells us that as long as we have firm beliefs, we can also develop into a top power like Australasia. Everyone, in terms of land area, we are not inferior to Australasia; in terms of mineral resources, we are not inferior to Australasia. Losing to Australasia; in terms of population size, we are far better than Australasia. Coupled with the strong belief in rejuvenating the country, I believe that one day, we will also be able to stand on top of the world and let the islanders taste Taste our power!" Another person who had been silent added.

"That's right! The ambitions of the people of the island nation are well known. We will eventually have a war with the island nation, and it can only be a life-and-death battle. Everyone, there is a long way to go to rejuvenate the country. You and I can only fight to the death to realize this dream, but there is no regret. He begged!" The person who spoke first was infected.

At first, everyone just lamented the speed of development in Australasia.But after someone mentioned the island country, they immediately became jealous of the enemy.

"Sooner or later, those damn little guys are going to attack Tokyo one day, and let the bastard Emperor of Japan know what it means to be a strong man who offends me, no matter how far away he is!" A slightly burly man said with a curse.

"Speaking of the small days, don't you think that Australasia is our potential ally? There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There are two great powers in the Western Pacific: island countries and Australasia. Sooner or later there will be problems. If we can get Australasia's With help, it will be easier to develop." The last person who had been silent seemed to have discovered something, and said with some excitement.

"It's not that simple. After defeating the island country, aren't we one of the two tigers? Unless we are willing to succumb to others, we will still have to avoid conflicts with Australasia. What's more, these people are not so kind. If we want Australasia to help us, I'm afraid we can't do it without cutting some flesh." The oldest-looking man shook his head, sighed, and expressed his worries.

"How can this truth be so complicated? There is more than just fighting and killing in the world, and we have no ambition to dominate the world. We can just develop our own business with peace of mind. Besides, everyone, we must first settle down at home before fighting against foreign forces. We are still far behind! "

The conversation between the few people ended quickly, and they concentrated on visiting the periphery of the Australasian Industrial Zone.

Although such scenes appear every week, for such an advanced industrial factory, a few people just wish they could record it completely. Naturally, they want to take a more look and avoid taking a wrong step in the future. Look more at industrial areas.

On the way back to school, several people stopped a taxi on the side of the road and got in.

After confirming that the driver could not understand their own language, the group of people began to chat in a relaxed manner: "What do you think this Westerner thinks? Such a piece of iron can run so fast! If they could all be moved to our place, Wouldn’t it be convenient to go out?”

"Aren't you overestimating it? Why do you think you can use it to go out with such a convenient thing? If it is used to transport food and troops, isn't it the so-called speed of soldiers?"

"Not to mention these cars, as long as a complete railway line is established, it will be much more convenient whether it is for traveling or transporting food and troops. However, cars need roads and trains need railways, which are all very expensive! "The other person couldn't help but sigh.

"If you can spend a lot of money in exchange for such convenient travel, it is definitely worth it. This is the technology of Westerners! Everyone, think back to the so-called Qing Dynasty and look down on Westerners' ingenuity in every possible way. Little do you know that this is what can change A great invention of the national structure! We have been ahead of the world for thousands of years, and finally we were defeated by the Qing Dynasty that had been hundreds of years old. It is ridiculous to say that!" The oldest man, because he had deeply experienced the perished Qing Dynasty, at this time The emotion is also the deepest.

"Everyone, we still have a lot to learn. From airplanes and cannons to screw tools, Westerners are already a long way ahead of us. It is said that the European powers used advanced weapons such as airplanes and tanks in the last war, but it is a pity that they cannot Take a closer look. If we also had such weapons, how could our country not be able to recover?" the elder continued with emotion.

"The big deal is just to learn everything! Westerners can make it step by step, why can't we? Even without any country's help, we will definitely be able to develop industry, and we will definitely be able to produce airplanes and cannons!" The burly and honest man said. At that time, he was the most confident and said it carelessly.

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm in trouble. Aren't we learning bit by bit? You guys should work harder and bring all the knowledge from Australasians back to China. At worst, we can build our own aircraft and cannons! I don’t believe it. We have worked hard for decades, but we can’t compare to those little devils! When we are young, it will definitely be more comfortable to use the cannons we made. When the time comes, if nothing else, I will kill One hundred is enough for this life."

The industrial area was not far from the school. Everyone quickly returned to their own schools, but they all agreed on a time to get together next time.
