The response to this naval parade in Australia was quite good, and even New Zealanders paid a little attention to it.

After the Navy military parade, I can feel a noticeable difference, that is, there are more people in front of the government affairs building every day, and many of them want to sign up for the army.

Unfortunately, Australia's current conscription system does not allow them to participate in conscription now, and after the last conscription is completed, the next conscription may have to wait until a few years later.

Seeing that the goal of joining the army could not be achieved, these people set their goal of entering the police force.

After more than two years of expansion and development, Australia's police force is already very advanced, including a rigorous police training school, a probationary system, and then you can officially become an Australian police officer.

Of course, under the strict training system, the power of the Australian police is also very large.

As the most important weapon of the Ministry of Public Security to maintain law and order, the Australian police are not only equipped with a unified standard of Australian-made As-1898 semi-automatic pistols, but even have the right to mobilize some heavy weapons.

The AS-1898 semi-automatic pistol, like other semi-automatic pistols of this era, adopts and borrows the principle of automation of the Maxim heavy machine gun, so that the pistol weapon has also achieved preliminary semi-automation.

Of course, this does not necessarily draw on the principle of the Bochard C93 automatic pistol, which was born in 1890.

Strictly speaking, the Australian As-1898 semi-automatic pistol is an improved version of the Bochard C93 automatic pistol, and the performance has also been very good.

The AS-1898 semi-automatic pistol has a total length of two hundred and seventy millimeters and a total weight of one and a half kilograms.

This pistol takes the form of a magazine bow bullet, with a capacity of eight rounds, and the bullets are nickel-plated, which has a strong penetrating ability.

The effective range of this pistol has reached 500 meters, although it is not as effective as the current rifle with an effective range of hundreds of kilometers, but it is enough in terms of practical effect.

As the effective distance gets farther and farther away, the soldiers become more and more obscure about distant enemies without using a magnifier.

In this case, the effective distance of the rifle of more than 1,000 meters is completely wasted, which is why after World War I, countries around the world began to develop rifles with an effective distance of about 400 meters.

As Australia's population grows, policing is a serious issue.

Although the police department has undergone more than two years of evolution, large and small police stations have been built in major cities, and hundreds of excellent police officers have also been trained.

But this is only a drop in the bucket for Australia's vast land area, and in terms of Australia's current population and urban distribution, at least a thousand police officers are needed to better maintain law and order in Australia.

Although there was little resistance to police recruitment before, not many people were willing to become police officers.

Police officers are not paid as well as soldiers, and they are only middle-to-upper income compared to Australia's income level.

Although it exceeds per capita income, it only exceeds per capita income. Australia's per capita income is twelve pounds six shillings a year, while the per capita income of the Australian police is only thirteen pounds and two shillings.

Compared to these policemen, the Australian Defence Force's income of fourteen pounds and twelve shillings and the Guard's income of eighteen pounds and ten shillings are somewhat excessive, which is why people prefer to go to the army.

(Conversion of British currency: one pound sterling is twenty shillings, and one shilling is twelve pence.) ）

Because these people can't join the army, they can only turn their attention to joining the police force. This has also played a very good role in the expansion of the police, which can allow the relatively slow expansion of the police department to enter a period of rapid development.

Of course, while this is a good thing for the police department, it does not mean that the police department will relax its training of the police.

On the contrary, as more and more people sign up to run for the police election, the selection and training of police officers has become more and more stringent, and the training items and time are even far greater than before.

The upsurge of joining the army after the end of the National Day lasted for more than half a month, which also allowed the security department to receive nearly 4,000 applications to join the police department in this half a month.

After being selected by the security department, they were finally screened to 800 people and became a real reserve policeman.

These 800 people are all outstanding young people who have passed the screening of their background, physique, cultural level, ideological performance and previous experience.

They need to go through up to six months of training before they can grow into real Australian police officers.

Of course, that's not the end of it. They will then have to go through a three-month probationary period to make sure they are proficient in what they have learned and that there are no problems before they can become real Australian police officers with an establishment and be issued with guns.

Yes, although there is no overt ban on firearms by the government, Australia's control of firearms has become more and more stringent, and it is basically not allowed to sell firearms to the private sector.

While many Australian ranchers and hunters still own guns, they also need to register with the Australian government and explain what they were used for each refill.

While Arthur would like to push for a gun ban in Australia, he understands that this is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

Australia is a vast and sparsely populated country with unusually high levels of wildlife. Many of these animals can threaten human safety, such as highly toxic animals and carnivores.

In such a situation, it is best to keep farmers and ranchers who are far away from the cities and some who prefer to go into the mountains to hunt with guns.

If these people are denied the right to carry firearms, there is a good chance that they will become resentful.

However, in Australia's major cities, the implementation of gun bans is still very smooth. At the very least, you can't bring guns with you when you enter the city, you can leave them at the city halls and police stations and pick them up when you leave the city.

During this time, with a small maintenance fee to the government or police station, they can maintain the stored firearms to ensure that they do not rust and become unusable due to prolonged storage.

The ban on guns between cities has been very effective in putting an end to all kinds of gun fights, and no one in the city will be a match for the police who legally own handguns, which also gives Australian police officers greater confidence and ability to maintain law and order.

The first is to ask for support!
