On April 7, 1901, after the departure of Crown Prince Wilhelm, aid was delivered to where it was needed.

The funds of a billion marks were transported to the Ministry of Finance for safekeeping. Although all the funds for German aid were in Deutsche Marks, this foreign exchange could also be used because there were many things to buy from Germany in the future.

The team of industrial experts travelled directly to the industrial region of Western Australia. I have to admire their meticulous work attitude, even if Arthur tried to keep them in Sydney for two more days, but the experts refused with the words that were important to their work.

Compared to the experts of the future, these industrial experts from Germany are like model workers.

The production line of the Gew98 rifle and a series of artillery pieces was delivered to Arthur's military factory. Because this is aid to the Australian government, the military factory needs to pay two million pounds to rent these lines, and once the technology has been thoroughly mastered, build a new production line and return it to the Australian government.

Although it will cost 2 million pounds, and after mastering the technology, it will build a new production line and return it to the Australian government.

But for military factories it is still profitable. After all, the technology contained in these production lines is definitely not something that can be exchanged for two million pounds under normal circumstances.

Even if a large amount of money is invested, it will take a lot of research time and talent to be able to research it.

The most important blueprints for the Braunschweig-class battleships were transported to Arthur's shipyard for protection.

The Australian government, together with Arthur's shipyard, will assemble a team of experts to study the drawings, strive to grasp them as soon as possible, and produce the battleship according to the drawings.

Even with the technical assistance of the British and German navies, it would be impossible to have the ability to build battleships independently without a few years of research time.

Arthur was well prepared for this, and as long as he had mastered the technology of building battleships within five years, he would be considered successful.

Thankfully, several of the German team of industrial experts are shipbuilding experts who remain at the shipyard in the Port of Sydney and will also serve as mentors to the Australian team of experts.

In order to gain the favor of these German experts, Arthur prepared a small cottage for each of them in Sydney, and gave each of them a subsidy of at least £500 a month on top of their original salary.

This is also a fulfillment of the original promise made in Berlin to not only pay all the salaries of these people, but also cover all their expenses in Australia.

Of course, it was all worth it, otherwise Arthur wouldn't have done it. The difference and benefits that these teams of experts can bring to Australia is definitely not as simple as the money they pay.

Naturally, such experts have as many as they want, even if each person spends a huge amount of money every year.

April 11, Arthur's estate.

At a time when all walks of life began to develop rapidly because of German aid, Butler Hunt also brought good news for Arthur.

It has been a month and a half since Arthur last asked Steward Hunter to send people to Europe and the United States to look for talent, and Steward Hunter has also moved quickly, and has begun to search for depressed scientists in Europe, and has made some progress.

"Butler Hunt, tell me, what's the good news?" Arthur sat down and said with a smile to Steward Hunter on the side.

"Your Highness, I have successfully sent men to Europe, and after more than a week of investigation, I have come to the very good news for Australia, that is, there are not many talents like Benz and Diesel in Europe, and many of them are in debt and lack of funds. According to our surveys, a large number of these people are the kind of research maniacs, and as long as we are willing to provide them with sufficient research funding and space, it may not be impossible for them to come to Australia. "Butler Hunter doesn't sell it either, 1510 said.

Through the exploitation of the colonies, Europe has built a prosperous industrial and economic system, and is the most brilliant pearl and the most developed and prosperous region in the world.

Because of the general emphasis on education in European countries, a large number of talents and scientists were born in Europe during this period, and they also made a good contribution to the rise of Europe.

But funding and resources are always limited. Even if European countries are very prosperous and developed, there is no guarantee that every scientist will be able to provide sufficient research funding and opportunities.

This has also led to a large number of scientists in Europe who have had to terminate their research for various reasons, except for some talents who were lucky enough to be discovered by the capitalists, others either sold their property to devote themselves to scientific research, or could only be depressed for the rest of their lives.

Such talent is common in Europe, not because they are incompetent, but because they lack support, which makes them look dull in a highly competitive environment like Europe.

But for Australia, these talents are the mainstay that Australia is sorely lacking. There are even a lot of talented people who can become the founders and guides of various industries in Australia.

Australia only needs to pay a certain amount of money to attract these talents, and it can get the effectiveness of a large number of talents and scientists, which is definitely a profitable deal.

"If it's certain that these people are really capable, what's the problem with paying some money to get them to Australia?" Arthur smiled and said: "The more such talents in Australia, the better, Steward Hunter, I allow you to allocate twenty million pounds of money to dig out such talents in Europe and the Americas." No matter what industry field it is, as long as it is determined that it is capable, it can be wooed. ”

"Your Highness, I feel that we should raise Australia's standing in the hearts and minds of all researchers. As long as Australia is made a mecca for these scientists, there will be no worries about no scientists coming. Butler Hunt said tentatively.

"Oh? How to improve? Arthur smelled with interest.

Steward Hunter can say this, and naturally has some thoughts and plans in his heart.

Arthur was intrigued. If it can really improve Australia's status in the hearts of scientists, it will be much better than the hard work of spending money to win it over.

"There are a lot of underfunded scientists in Europe, so why don't we have awards for scientific research? We invite scientists from all over the world to participate in our awards, where the winner receives sufficient research funding and prestige, and Australia provides him with a research site free of charge to support his research project. In this way, after a long period of development, it may not fail to gain the attention of those scientists. Steward Hunter suggested with a smile.

The first is to ask for support!
