Seeing Arthur's attention to the construction of stadiums, the cabinet naturally did not dare to be careless.

After a week-long discussion and preliminary plan, the specific plan for the construction of the stadium was finally preliminarily discussed.

The first was the size of the stadium, and at Arthur's insistence, the capacity of the stadium became a maximum of 50,000 people.

It will be a huge stadium and the venue will be located in the north of the ACT very close to Newcastle, where there will be enough large flatlands for stadiums.

In order to meet the needs of the Olympic Games, many venues will be built inside the stadiums to meet the needs of the Olympic Games.

Regarding the naming of the new stadium, the Cabinet named the new stadium Australasian National Stadium after seeking Arthur's opinion.

After all, the purpose of this Olympic Games is to increase the prestige and international influence of Australasia, and the advertising of Australasia from the beginning of the stadium can be regarded as a confirmation of the original intention of the Olympic Games.

After the initial construction plan was confirmed, the Cabinet Government decided to allocate an initial $10 million to build the new stadium over two years, and invited the construction company to undertake the major modules of the stadium.

For the successive arrival of domestic and foreign construction companies, Australasia is an attitude that does not refuse to come.

But the government's requirements are also strict, and if anything goes wrong in the construction of the Olympic venues, it will escalate to a dispute between countries, and the head of the construction company will be sentenced by the Australasian government.

You must know that Australasia's laws are relatively strict, which is also a major means of the government to sanction criminal cases.

After all, the civilians of Australasia are well fed and clothed, and those who carry out illegal and criminal activities in Australasia are often those habitual criminals and outlaws who cannot be saved at all.

These people are of no use to the development of Australasia and can even hinder the development of the country and the stability of society.

Strict laws are used to punish them, and the more serious crimes are basically the death penalty, and they are also hanged or shot.

According to the rough statistics of the security department, from the founding of Australia in 1900 to the end of 1909, in the past ten years, more than 3,100 people have been sentenced to death in Australasia, of which more than 2,000 are vicious criminals with human lives on their hands.

After the execution of more than 3,000 people, the crime rate in Australasia is now more than 20 times lower than it was in 1900, and there are very few homicides in major cities.

With the government making public the news of the construction of the stadium, the construction of the stadium has also attracted the attention and support of a large number of Australasian people.

This is not because of Arthur's high popularity, but because Australasian people have a lot of mood and time to do other entertainment after they are well fed and clothed.

However, at present, there are not many entertainment environments and entertainment facilities in Australasia, and because the government has gradually begun to control the sale and circulation of large weapons, it is not realistic for civilian low-quality pistols to be used for hunting, so hunting, one of the few forms of entertainment, has gradually fallen out of the mainstream.

But it is worth mentioning that because the major factories in Australasia have strictly implemented the ten-hour working day, and several factories of the royal family have even implemented the eight-hour working day, people have a lot of free time to squander, and under the premise that all kinds of entertainment facilities are impossible, creating people has become a helpless choice for a considerable number of Australasian people.

In addition, the government has encouraged childbirth in recent years, rewarding a sum of money for each child, and also guaranteeing the education and life of all children of families with multiple children before they reach adulthood.

As a result, Australasian people are not averse to childbearing, and even if it works well, having more children can create additional income for the family, which is equivalent to an extra labor force in the family to make money.

This is evidenced by the fact that Australasia is currently adding more than 100,000 new babies every year, which is one of the reasons why Australasia's population growth rate is rising.

How much support is there for the new stadium? Even before the construction of the stadium really began, a large number of Australasian people spontaneously went to the planning area of the stadium, intending to level the land in the stadium area to facilitate future construction.

However, such an operation was quickly stopped, after all, although the bulldozing of the construction area was done before construction, there was no need to waste such valuable labor.

Isn't this hard work to be done with the natives? Anyway, for Australasia, the natives are the least valuable, and who cares if tens of thousands of people die a year?

Time passed quickly, and before the construction of the stadium officially began, the time had already come to January 1910.

Rather, he attached great importance to this year's annual report summary meeting, after all, Arthur did not handle government affairs well throughout 1909, and it was time to thoroughly grasp the development of the country, and by the way, lay out the next few years.

Historically, the outbreak of World War I would have been a few years away. But who can guarantee that the course of the world will develop as it has been in history, in case war breaks out tomorrow?

It was with the attitude of preparing in advance that Arthur decided to remind the government to prepare for the possible outbreak of a super war on the European continent in the future.

Prior to the Cabinet meeting, Arthur announced an appointment appointing Prime Minister Kent's younger brother Hunt, the second son of Kent's butler, as Secretary of State for Crown Affairs, the last vacant seat in the Cabinet.

The appointment was a bit sudden, but it was a no-brainer in the eyes of the Cabinet.

The position of Minister of Princely Affairs is destined to be held by Arthur's absolute confidant, and no one else is qualified to touch it at all.

If you want to say Arthur's absolute confidant, Kent Butler is definitely counted, and deservedly the first choice.

It's just that the butler of Kent has served as the grand butler of the prince and is also responsible for managing the affairs of the royal consortium.

Even if the position of Minister of Royal Affairs for Kent Butler is given, it will only make the position of Kent Butler sound a little better, and the actual power and role will not change in any way.

And it makes sense that Hunt, the second son of the Kent butler, replaced his father Kent as the Minister of Princely Affairs.

After all, a position like a palace steward is basically hereditary inheritance on the premise of not giving birth to an accident.

The person who controls the position of palace steward is usually the family most trusted by the monarch. As simple as a servant, in an absolutist monarchy like Australasia, the power of the Kent steward is not necessarily much less than that of a cabinet member.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that when it comes to choosing between a cabinet member and a Kent butler, Arthur would not hesitate to choose the Kent butler.

For no other reason, Arthur was able to ensure the absolute loyalty of the Kent butler. Not even jokingly, if Arthur felt that the Kent butler was useless, he would not say a word if he asked the Kent butler to die.

As the second son of the Kent butler, under the premise that his brother went to politics, Hunter was destined to inherit the mantle of the Kent butler and become the next palace steward.

Therefore, the position of Minister of Crown Affairs is also suitable for Hunter, and it can also familiarize him with the feeling of doing things for Arthur in advance, and he can also be taught by the Kent butler at any time.

As for whether the butler of Kent, the secretary of state Kent and the secretary of royal affairs Hunter have all become cabinet ministers or palace stewards of prominent status, whether their families will wield enormous power and threaten the royal power or give birth to other ideas, Arthur is not worried at all.

Not to mention that the rights of Hunter's housekeeper and his family come from the royal family, without the premise that they cannot have real power, the loyalty of the Kent housekeeper alone is enough for Arthur to trust.

What's more, the Royal Security Intelligence Service is not a vegetarian, and it has been developing for so long now, if it can't control the intelligence of the entire palace and protect the safety of the royal family, then the director of the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau should also be replaced.

Hunt also attended the Cabinet meeting and was congratulated by the Cabinet Ministers.

For the future palace steward who has basically been decided, the cabinet still wants to get along well.

Although Hunter is only coming of age now, by the time Hunter becomes the chief steward of the palace, they are likely to have stayed away from politics.

When the time comes, if there is something wrong, you can ask Hunter for help with your familiar face, right?

The Cabinet meeting lasted all day, and Arthur was thoroughly informed of the current development in Australasia.

Even several new positions were debriefed, which gave Arthur a better understanding of the current judicial and religious situation in Australasia.

Overall, Australasia's development has been smooth and the population growth has been very encouraging.

As of January 1910, the total population of Australasia had exceeded 8.52 million, which was getting closer and closer to Arthur's goal of 10 million people as a regional power at that time.

Among them, the population of Australia is nearly 7 million, and the population of New Zealand is about 1.5 million. The population of the colonies of New Guinea has exceeded 50,000, and the exact number is about 52,150.

The smallest number of Australian Timorese exceeded 13,500, which was the result of the two colonies' successive policies to attract immigrants.

In terms of population structure, British immigrants account for 69.7% of the total population of Australasia, the German population accounts for 12.1% of the total population of Australasia, the Russian population accounts for 11.9% of the total population of Australasia, and the other population accounts for 6.3% of the total population.

From the demographic structure, it can also be seen that the largest population of Australasia is still British immigrants, with a total of 5.94 million.

The second and third largest numbers are of German and Russian origin, with 1.03 million and 1.01 million respectively.

This also shows the current intensity of European migration to Australasia, and most of Australasia's population growth depends on these European immigrants.
