Rise of Australia

Chapter 79 German Aid Arrives (Please Subscribe!)
On April 1901, 4, while Arthur's military reform plan was in full swing, a fleet also arrived in Sydney Harbour, with every warship and transport ship flying the black, white and red tricolor flag of the German Empire.

What this fleet escorted was the first batch of aid from the German Empire, including a large amount of equipment, materials, funds and talents including 5000 million pounds.

I have to admit that Germany attaches great importance to aid and moves quickly.When there was no news of British aid, Germany had already prepared the first batch of aid and dispatched a fleet to escort it to Sydney.

In order to show the importance attached to this aid, Arthur and Prime Minister Evan appeared at the port together to meet the person in charge of escorting aid from Germany, Crown Prince William.

"His Royal Highness Arthur, long time no see!" As soon as he got off the boat, Crown Prince William came up with a smile, and said to Arthur who also walked over with a smile.

"Long time no see, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't expect that it was your Highness who delivered the supplies this time. I thought it would be a German general or Mr. Minister." Arthur said with a smile.

"Originally, the guys from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were in charge, but out of the emphasis on Australia, my father asked me to be in charge of this delivery." Crown Prince William explained with a smile.

"This is Prime Minister Evan, Your Royal Highness. Since you have come to Australia, you can enjoy yourself here for two days. Although the prosperity of Australia is far less than that of Berlin, there are also many beautiful scenery." Arthur did not Stuck on why William II sent Crown Prince William, he said to Prince William with a smile.

"His Royal Highness." After Arthur's introduction, Prime Minister Evan saluted Crown Prince William.

"Hmm." Crown Prince William nodded lightly, and then, seeing from the corner of his eye that supplies had begun to be unloaded on the ship, he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Arthur, Prime Minister Evan. This is the first batch of aid from Germany to Australia. One billion marks, 140 industrial experts, Gew98 rifle production line, artillery production line and drawings of Brunswick-class battleships. These experts will formulate detailed and reliable industrial development plans for Australia according to Australia's specific conditions. As for the military industry The production line and blueprints will be allocated by you. But I have to say something extra, Your Highness Arthur. The blueprints of the Brunswick-class battleships are very important to Germany, and we hope that Australia will keep them secret for at least 20 years."

Unlike other support materials, the drawings and materials of the Brunswick-class battleship are protected by hundreds of elite German soldiers, and can be destroyed by themselves at special moments.

This is the importance of a warship drawing, which clearly describes all the layout of the warship, and fully lists the weakest parts in the form of pictures and words.

If it is obtained by a hostile country, it is equivalent to handing over one's lifeline to the enemy, and the balance of war will be tilted instantly.

"This is natural, Your Royal Highness. Australia will not and has no reason to disclose this warship blueprint. The friendship between Australia and Germany is far more important than this battleship blueprint." Arthur said with a smile.

This is indeed true.Before the outbreak of World War I, the German Empire was well-deserved as the second largest power in the world, with the world's largest army and the world's second largest navy.

Maintaining the friendship between Australia and the German Empire is far more important than a blueprint of a warship, let alone a blueprint of a battleship that will be eliminated in a few years.

There are still many things in the German Empire that Arthur has not discovered. Before that, Arthur would not take the initiative to destroy the friendly relationship with the German Empire.

"Hahaha, of course I believe in Your Highness! Not only me, but my father also believes in Australia. It's just that the importance of this blueprint is really high, and my father asked me to tell His Highness again." Crown Prince William laughed, and it was over. this topic.

In addition to the more than 100 industrial experts and the funds of one billion marks, other aid materials are not easy to count, and it may even take several hours.

Naturally, Arthur and the others would not stand here and wait.So, at Arthur's invitation, Crown Prince William went to Arthur's wine estate.

More than nine months have passed since the Duke Arthur Wine Estate was completed.During this time, the planted grape seeds and finished vines have also survived one after another, and even the first batch of finished vines have fruited, picked and brewed.

As a drink widely sought after by western aristocrats, red wine manor is also one of the ways for western aristocrats to show their identity.

As the next master of the German Empire, Crown Prince William also has his own private wine estate.

However, the red wine estates of the western aristocrats are naturally not as luxurious as Arthur, and a large area of ​​land is used for planting.

Generally speaking, an aristocratic small private winery covering an area of ​​more than ten hectares is not too small.The private wineries of some great nobles are only tens of hundreds of hectares.

And Arthur's winery has a total area of ​​[-] hectares, which is about three square kilometers.

You must know that there are two countries in later generations with an area of ​​less than three square kilometers. In addition to the special religious center of the Vatican, the southern European city-state Monaco only has an area of ​​two square kilometers, of which about 0.5 square kilometers is still It was obtained by reclamation from the sea. . .

Such a huge red wine estate even has the size of some medium-sized European towns.

Such a huge area naturally aroused the curiosity and surprise of Crown Prince William.

However, after Crown Prince William thought of Australia's huge land area and barren population, he suddenly thought about it again.

"Arthur, when will your first batch of red wine be produced? The climate around here seems to be suitable for the growth of grapes, and maybe good red wine will be produced." Crown Prince William said to Arthur with a smile.

When it comes to the more famous red wine in Europe, it is natural to avoid France, a famous red wine producing country.

French red wine has even monopolized the red wine market of most European aristocrats, and is one of the most sought after wines by European aristocrats.

As for the German Empire, although there are also a large number of red wine estates, the quality and output of red wine are not as good as those of France, and they can only compete for the ordinary domestic market.

"The first batch of red wine has been brewed, Your Royal Highness. You came just in time. The first batch of red wine has just been brewed, and it is just ready to be tasted." Arthur said with a smile.

It has always been the tradition of western aristocrats to entertain guests with red wine from private wineries.Although Arthur's winery has just been built for less than a year, it has not occupied any red wine market.

But Arthur had also tasted the red wine that had just been brewed.While retaining the mellow aroma of grapes, it also adds a few hints of fruity aroma and sweetness, which has a special taste.

Although the output and reputation are far inferior to the long-established Western red wine brands, but in terms of taste alone, Arthur believes that the red wine produced by his winery is not much inferior to that of Europe.

In fact, even in later generations, Australia is one of the world's top five red wine producers.

Although the quality of red wine produced in Spain, Italy and France is slightly inferior to that of the West, it is definitely one of the better wine producing regions.
