Chapter 280: Talent Plan

As Arthur had predicted, all of Arthur's words were printed and sold throughout the British Empire in a short period of time.

Of course, the first to make a splash was London itself. As the capital of the British Empire, London's population has naturally exceeded one million, even reaching a terrifying 7.256 million.

In other words, the population of London is already half of the total population of Australasia, which is enough to see how developed and huge the capital of the world's most powerful country is.

Under the premise that London has such a population, Arthur's words in front of the royal mausoleum caused a sensation in London.

In particular, there was my father and grandmother, and now my uncle, which instantly divided the powerful Arthur into the range of the disadvantaged.

This, coupled with Arthur's deliberate attempt to reinforce the media perception of the poverty gap between Britain and Australasia, led many Britons to believe that Arthur still lived in a poorer country under the fanfare of these media outlets.

Although there are many more sensible people, they have begun to explain that Australasia is no longer so poor after ten years of development, and even various constructions have developed.

But after all, those media reports have become the initial impression, and some Britons have learned that the per capita income of Australasia is only 47 Australian dollars, which translates to a little more than 23 pounds, which is completely less than half of the current per capita income of the United Kingdom.

This also made many British people more sympathetic to Australasia's poverty perception, and began to sympathize with Arthur.

Even from the next day, many Britons who got the news began to march on the streets of London, demanding that the government increase its support for Australasia and not let Queen Victoria's favorite grandson be wronged in Australasia.

Arthur has always made a good impression on the British people, coupled with Arthur's previous words, which completely detonated the public opinion of the entire British people.

Since June 19, demonstrations have also been held around London, asking the government not to be stingy and increase support for Australasia.

Seeing that the momentum of public opinion was very good, Arthur nodded in satisfaction and ordered the Australasian media to stop acting.

Next, let British public opinion ferment on its own, and more guidance will make this public opinion suspicious.

The outbreak of public opinion and demonstrations among the British people soon attracted the attention of the British authorities, government, and reactionary forces.

Apart from the self-interest of the British people, there are not many people who have made spontaneous demonstrations for the British people, previously Queen Victoria, and not long ago Edward VII.

I didn't expect Arthur to be one of them, and Arthur only said a few words.

But the British government does not have the time to experience, because if they do not handle this matter properly, this will also become the reason for the Conservatives to attack the Liberal Party.

After all, this is an event that affects hundreds of thousands of British people in London and the surrounding area, and if it is allowed to ferment, I am afraid that the march will expand to hundreds or even millions.

After all, at all times, the people are conformists. If public opinion is allowed to ferment, even if there are not many people who really want to do something for Arthur, the procession will continue to expand.

George V, who was at Buckingham Palace, naturally heard about the public opinion that had erupted in Britain recently.

George V was amazed at Arthur's popularity in England, and if it weren't for Arthur's success as King of Australasia, George V would have worried about whether his position would have suffered.

For the rest of the talks, Arthur did not have to show up, and the task was left to Prime Minister Walter and Foreign Secretary Andrew.

Arthur only needs to listen to a daily briefing by Prime Minister Walter and Foreign Secretary Andrew on the progress of the talks, and then express his opinion.

Of course, this does not mean that Arthur will be idle. In fact, after Davy, the head of European royal affairs, asked to see Arthur, he gave Arthur a list of high-level British talents that he had investigated in recent years.

There were many people on this list before, and General Manager David tried to win over some of Australasia after many attempts.

Some went to the United States and other regions, while others were more loyal to Britain and were reluctant to leave the British Empire.

Naturally, the above people have left the list, and the rest are either some new talents who have entered the list, or some who are more entrenched and need Arthur to come forward in person.

Arthur took a cursory glance at the list, which consisted mostly of physicists and chemists, but also physicians, botanists, historians, authors, artists, and military scientists.

Basically, there are all kinds of talents, and the level of detail of their information has even spread to the parents and children of talents.

Of course, there is basically information about where they live, what they like to eat, what they are interested in, and so on, which is enough to prove that Director David has investigated these people in great detail.

This is good news and can effectively increase the probability of winning over these people.

After some searching, Arthur still found some familiar names among them.

Among them were the British microbiologist Wright, and his disciple Alexander Fleming.

Wright's name may not be known to many people, but his disciple Alexander Fleming, the name Arthur, is very familiar.

For no other reason, Alexander Fleming, a famous British microbiologist, first discovered penicillin in 1928.

Needless to say, penicillin is a drug that can be found by humans and has a powerful bactericidal effect, and even ended the era when infectious diseases were almost incurable, creating a climax of the search for new antibiotics.

Alexander Fleming, who first discovered penicillin, has made a contribution to human beings and human medicine.

The importance of penicillin as a drug capable of drastically reducing casualties in times of war is absolutely strategic for any country.

Arthur decided to be the first to invite Dr. Wright.

The reason why Dr. Wright was invited, rather than Alexander Fleming in the first place, is a story that has to be told here.

Alexander Fleming's path to education was also quite bumpy, first at the age of 13 he and his brother went to work in London, and then unexpectedly received an inheritance from his uncle, which allowed him to enter St. Mary's School of Medicine, University of London.

After graduating in 1906, Fleming stayed in the laboratory of St. Mary's Medical College, where he assisted his teacher, Dr. Wright, in his research on immunology.

As of now, Fleming remains in Dr. Wright's laboratory and is currently Dr. Wright's most capable assistant.

The real reason why Fleming chose to stay in Dr. Wright's laboratory was that with his current education and reputation, it was impossible to obtain the right to use the laboratory without Dr. Wright's help.

Dr. Wright, on the other hand, was a more tolerant and gentle man, who allowed his assistant Fleming to conduct independent scientific research according to his own interests, of course, without hindering his own research and work.

This gave Fleming more room for independent research and allowed Fleming to experience more growth during this period.

As early as a year ago, Fleming independently began research to try to immunize acne and successfully improved the cumbersome search process for syphilis.

This made Fleming one of the few doctors of this period to master the advanced technology of intravenous injection, and he was even the only one who was able to administer the latest treatment for syphilis patients in London.

It was precisely because of Fleming's achievements that he gained an initial reputation in the academic world, and it also made Director David notice Fleming and add him to the list of talents he was recruiting.

It is worth mentioning that even though Fleming independently obtained many research results, he did not leave the scope of Wright's research, and under Wright's guidance, he did a lot of research work on phagocytes, opsons, typhoid bacteria, etc., which greatly increased his ability and knowledge.

For such a talent, Arthur naturally will not let go.

During the negotiations between Minister Walter and Minister Andrew and the British government, Arthur, led by Director David, visited Dr. Wright's laboratory and easily agreed to Dr. Wright and Alexander Fleming to take up their posts in Australasia.

The reason why it went so smoothly was, of course, the result of Arthur throwing down with his position and a lot of money.

With a personal invitation from the head of a country, coupled with more salary and better conditions, it is normal for Dr. Wright to make a decision on the spot.

And Alexander Fleming naturally didn't mind going to Aorasia, after all, what he valued was his experimental environment and experimental funds, as well as the help he could provide to him.

All of these Australasias were able to give him, and even more than Dr. Wright had helped him.

The first time he recruited talents, he was a complete success, which made Arthur feel very good.

Looking at the list, the next person to be wooed is Henri Moselle, a talent with outstanding talents, but not a significant reputation.

Henry Moselle, a famous British physicist and chemist, discovered Moselle's law.

What really made Moselle not so famous was because he gave up his job in 1914 to join the Royal Corps of Engineers.

But it was this decision that made him bury his otherwise brilliant life.

On August 10, 1915, Mosele was killed by a Turkish sniper at the age of 27 while communicating orders over the telephone as a technical officer.

The famous American science writer once wrote: "Judging from the scientific achievements of Mossell, his sacrifice should be the most costly sacrifice for mankind." ”

British physicist Charles Barkla was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1917 for his discovery of X-ray diffraction in a variety of metallic elements, based on Moselle's work.

Ernest Rutherford said of Moselete's achievements: "The first two years of his research career were enough to bring him the Nobel Prize. In the eyes of many scientists, Moselette, who died young at the age of 27, would have made a greater contribution to the study of atomic structure if he had survived.

With Moselle and Einstein's fundamentals, and a large number of physicists and chemists, Arthur believed that it would not be impossible for Australasia to invent the atomic bomb before the original history.
