In addition to Alexander Fleming and his mentor Dr. Wright, Arthur also personally visited Mossell, Joseph Thomson, William Henry Bragg, William Lawrence Bragg, Charles Ggerf Bacla and many other famous physical and chemical talents, and in the list of talents, Arthur did not personally visit, including hundreds of physicists, chemists, writers, historians, authors, artists, composers, scientists, medical scientists, etc., the total number of talents on the list reached 204 people.

After four days of hard work by Arthur and David, there are now 115 people who have agreed to go to Australasia.

And there are nearly 70 people who have been significantly shaken and need to think about it for a few days.

Of the 204 people, almost 20 or so were reluctant to leave the British Empire, and Arthur could do nothing about it, after all, every country has pure patriots.

If nothing else, Australasia has access to more than 100 of the 204 talents, which is a huge addition to Australasia's top talent.

It is a little regrettable that for the talent in the military industry, Arthur's wooing was not very successful.

However, this can also be understood, after all, as time entered the second decade of the 20 th century, the contradictions and competition between the two major European military blocs became more and more intense, and European countries also increased their control and attention to military talents.

Under such a premise, Arthur wants to attract some funds and benefits like other talents, and it is basically impossible to attract many military talents.

On June 25, 1910, a message of excitement for Britain and Australasia was jointly promulgated by the British government and the Australasian government.

After lengthy and friendly consultations between the British Government and Australia, it was decided to continue the aid treaty signed at that time, and to strengthen some of the provisions of the treaty signed ten years earlier, and to add a lot of new aid.

In terms of aid, the British government has agreed to give the Australasian government a higher level of aid, with preliminary estimates of no more than £10 million a year, but at least more than £7 million.

The direction of aid included the military, industrial, mechanical, and various other industries, and Arthur was interested in French submarine technology, which was also written in the aid treaty.

Of course, Australasia will not reap so many benefits in vain. Britain and Australasia signed a peace treaty in which the ports of Australasia's Australian Timor and New Zealand regions were opened to the British Empire, allowing the British Empire's fleets and merchant ships to dock as a transit port and supply base for the British Empire.

Arthur had no problem with this, after all, with the good relations between Australasia and Britain, British merchant ships and warships wanted to dock at these ports, and Arthur had no reason to refuse.

After all, the ports where these merchant ships docked could also boost consumption in the local port cities, and Arthur was not worried about the safety of these ports after they opened to the British.

On the premise that Australasia and Britain are not completely on opposite sides, there is no reason for Britain to take the lead in Australasia.

Australasia also reached a further trade treaty with the United Kingdom. Australasia will officially become the UK's main importer of grain and meat.

Arthur also did not have to worry that Australasia's massive increase in grain production and meat production would enter a state of unsalable, with the British Empire at the back, coupled with the consumption of future wars, this has formed a double layer of security.

Of course, this trade treaty does not only cover Australasia's grain and meat exports to the UK, but also includes the UK's exports of various medical supplies, machinery and equipment, relatively advanced systems and various talents to Australasia.

If during the reign of Edward VII, the British government turned a blind eye to Australasia's efforts to attract talent, and neither supported nor opposed it, then during the subsequent reign of George V, at least before the First World War, the British government expressed support for Australasia's efforts to attract talent.

This is an important help for Australasia to attract talent in the UK, and the number of British immigrants should also usher in a temporary increase.

King George V of England and Arthur are of the same generation, and George V is Arthur's cousin.

But George V, like William II, is now 45 years old, more than a round older than Arthur.

This also leads to the fact that George V and Arthur do not talk much about each other, but this does not prevent George V and Arthur from pretending to be very close brothers outside, even closer than their own brothers.

For Arthur, it is indeed necessary to have good relations with Britain at present, after all, it seems that the Entente has the greatest chance of winning at present.

You know, historically, the Entente still won despite Russia's withdrawal halfway.

And although there are still hidden dangers in Russia today, it is much better off than it was in the past.

Russia still holds most of the interests of the Far East and is the absolute hegemon of the Far East. However, the island nation, which was supposed to step on Russia's throne in the Russo-Japanese War, seemed to have stagnated its development because it had only gained the benefits of the Korean Peninsula at that time, and now it has become the weakest of the proper powers.

The island nation has seven battleships so far, but all of them are old battleships and are not so strong in combat.

Although the island country has a plan for the construction of dreadnoughts, even the plan for the construction of dreadnoughts has been drawn up in 1907.

However, in order to cooperate with Russia, Britain promised to suspend aid to the island countries while the Anglo-Russian Entente was in force.

Without the help of Britain, will the island nation be able to build dreadnoughts on its own? The answer is no.

The Hanoi-class battleship, the earliest dreadnought ship in history, was not officially completed until the end of March 1912, even with the help of the British.

The second dreadnought waited until the beginning of July 1912, and among all the powers, except for France, the island nation was the latest to be built dreadnoughts.

And now, without British assistance from the island nation, the plan to build dreadnoughts has naturally been postponed for a long time.

Arthur has always been concerned about the island nation, and if the intelligence of the Royal Security Intelligence Service is correct, the island nation's dreadnought construction seems to have been in trouble, not to mention that as in history, it was built one after another in 1912, and it would be good to be able to see their dreadnoughts in 1913.

However, this does not matter to Arthur, after all, the island nation is also a potential enemy of Australasia.

The island nation's slow progress on dreadnoughts may not be a bad thing for Australasia.

After establishing good relations with Great Britain, Australasia had a good foundation of relations with the major countries of the Central and Allied powers.

This will be helpful for Australasia to join World War I in the future, at least to be able to calmly choose the side with the advantage.

However, Arthur did not intend to enter the war directly in Europe until the European countries did not suffer heavy damage.

But the damage to European countries must not be too severe, otherwise the rise of the United States will become inevitable.

At the very least, European countries should still have the ability to wrestle with the United States after the two wars, so that they will not be like in history, after the two world wars, in the face of the liberal nationalism exported by the United States and the Soviet Union, the major European powers can only let the major colonies become independent because they are powerless.

The collapse of the colonial system was a heavy loss that could not be lost by the old European powers, and it was not necessarily a good thing for Arthur.

After all, Australasia also has a large number of indigenous people, although these indigenous people are not recognized now, and their role is only free and cheap labor.

But in the future, when the colonial system collapses, we can't slaughter all these natives in Australasia.

If these natives had existed after World War II, it is highly likely that they would have sought independence under the influence of the United States.

This is also a headache for Australasia, after all, after the Second World War, public opinion is not so easy to control if you want to wantonly slaughter the indigenous people of the colonies.

At the invitation of George V, Arthur visited the Royal Fleet stationed off the coast of London, and also personally boarded the first dreadnought, the battleship Dreadnought.

The three Australasian dreadnoughts also conducted joint training with the Royal Navy for several days, and in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat capabilities of the Monarch-class battleship and the Dreadnought battleship should be not much different.

George V was also interested in Australasia's independently developed and built battleships.

In fact, George V's princely career, known as the sailor prince.

This was because George V, who had been a naval cadet, was sent to the battleship Buntandem for nautical education.

During his service, George toured the Caribbean, the British colonies of South Africa and Australia, and even Norfolk, Virginia, USA, South America, the Mediterranean, Egypt and East Asia.

At that time, because George V's brother Prince Albert was still alive, Prince Albert was the second heir to the throne at that time, and he needed to be ready to inherit the throne.

George V succeeded to the throne in the order of his father Edward VII and his brother Prince Albert, so his choice was to be a career officer in the navy.

George V's career as a naval officer was the captain of a torpedo boat, a squadron leader, etc., but a severe typhoid fever brought his naval career to an end.

However, this did not stop Prince George's love for the navy and warships, hence the title of Prince of Sailors.

It is worth mentioning that during his service in the Navy, George V was appointed by his uncle, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.

During this time, George V fell in love with Princess Mary, daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh. Immediately afterward, George fell in love with a princess of the Kingdom of Fortenberg, also named Mary.

Unfortunately, George V's eldest brother, Prince Albert, was engaged to Princess Mary, which also broke the relationship between the two brothers, who had a very good relationship.

It is worth mentioning that six weeks after Prince Albert and Princess Mary announced their engagement, Prince Albert died of pneumonia unexpectedly.

And Princess Mary, Prince Albert's fiancée, was also betrothed to George V at the behest of Queen Victoria, that is, Queen Mary of George V.

George V eventually got his beloved woman, albeit with some blood and bumps.

Arthur saw that George V was interested in the Monarch-class battleship and invited him to visit the battleship Australasia.

This move also won the favor of George V, at least in the past few days of Arthur's time in the British Empire, George V has always been very affectionate to Arthur.

Arthur also took the opportunity to make his own request, hoping to reach a deeper cooperation with the British Empire on warships.

Specifically, Arthur was willing to use the design drawings and materials of the Monarch-class battleship in exchange for the construction drawings of the St. Vincent-class battleships currently under construction in Britain to strengthen the design of Australasia's warships.

Arthur's request made George V a little embarrassed.

The St. Vincent-class battleship is an improved version of the Bellerophon-class battleship, and its combat effectiveness is increased compared to the Dreadnought and Bellerophon-class battleships.

In terms of artillery, the St. Vincent-class battleships were armed with 305 mm 50 x caliber twin guns, while the guns of the first two dreadnoughts were 305 mm 45 times the diameter.

This improvement makes the firepower output of the St. Vincent-class battleships much higher. Coupled with a slight increase in armor and horsepower, the speed of the St. Vincent-class battleship has been able to maintain a steady speed of about 21 knots.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most advanced dreadnought currently under construction, and it is also the main warship of the British Empire's 1910 construction program.

But the problem is that the St. Vincent is not the most advanced battleship that the British Empire has designed at the moment.

After the St. Vincent-class battleships, the British Empire had already designed the battleship Neptune and the Elephant-class battleship, but construction was not until 1911.

This aspect can also reflect the current strength of the British Empire's warships. When Germany was still stuck in the 283 mm main gun, the technology of the British 305 mm main gun had broken through 50 times the diameter, and the dreadnoughts were developed several levels.

The importance of the St. Vincent-class battleships is self-evident, but there is also no situation at all important enough to be absolutely strategic secrecy.

At least for George V, the exchange of warship drawings with Australasia was acceptable, which would quickly give George V a reputation for loving his cousin and valuing affection, which would be very beneficial to him to consolidate his rule.

After all, Arthur can be said to be the treasure of the British people now, and it is absolutely right to have a good relationship with Arthur.

Besides, Australasia doesn't give nothing. There was a lot of German technology in the Monarch-class battleships, which also helped the British to figure out German technology.

Although George V had agreed to the deal in his heart, he did not promise it directly, but said that he would do his best to discuss it with the cabinet government.

Arthur nodded in understanding. After all, George V has not officially ascended the throne yet, and even if he ascends the throne, his voice in the cabinet will not be too high in a short period of time.

It is up to the British Cabinet Government to decide such a thing, but George V is not against it, which is good news.

After the talks, Arthur instructed Governor David to have him visit some of the British Cabinet government late at night.

Some officials had a good relationship with the old Duke Arthur before, and presumably under Arthur's operation, there should be a few who stood up to support Arthur.

As long as a quarter of the cabinet government has direct support, Arthur is confident that the deal will be done.

It's 4,200 words today, brothers, take a leave of absence (more important things)

Tomorrow will continue to be ten thousand!
