In addition to national defense construction, the construction of the second phase of the Leonora Industrial Base is also a top priority in Australasia at present.

In fact, the construction of the second phase of the Leonora Industrial Site began in 1910, and it was initially expected to be completed in 1913.

After all, the construction of the second phase is far more than the construction of the first phase of the industrial base, both in terms of scale and planning.

All the factories built in the first phase, even if fully occupied, would provide less than 50,000 jobs in Australasia at best.

But if the second phase is completed, the construction of the second phase alone will be enough to create more than 100,000 jobs.

If the first phase is added, the entire Leonora industrial base will provide at least 150,000 jobs in Australasia, which will not only fully meet the demand for jobs in Western Australia, but also benefit South Australia.

With the large investment of the government and the industrial sector, the construction of the industrial base is faster than expected.

If nothing else, it should have been possible to complete the construction of the industrial base by the end of 1912 and the beginning of 1913, with production in 1914.

This also means that if the First World War had taken place as it has historically, Australasia would have had a super-industrial area of more than 150,000 jobs before the First World War, which would not only further consolidate the level and scale of the industry, but also export large quantities of manufactured goods to Europe.

As Australasia's population grows, so will there be more job demand. In addition to the needs of the country's development, the construction of industrial bases and other types of construction is also about creating more jobs to meet the needs of the people of Australasia.

In anticipation of the imminent war in Europe, Arthur also issued orders to the agricultural sector, demanding that agricultural production be expanded as much as possible and that grain exports be temporarily reduced.

With the exception of some affected areas with high food prices, food exports from all regions have to be reduced.

After all, the price of grain at this time is certainly not as good as the price of grain during the war, so it is better to prepare for grain storage as soon as possible and wait until the outbreak of war in Europe before dumping.

When the time comes, all European countries will send hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops to participate in the war, and all kinds of military factories and civilian factories in the country will make concessions for the sake of military affairs, and the decline in grain production will be a matter of course.

In terms of high emotional intelligence, the dumping of grain in wartime is actually to prevent Europeans from starving and starving.

After all, Arthur was also a European after all, so how could he sit idly by and watch Europeans starve and starve to death because of the war?

Food isn't free, but it always saves lives, doesn't it?

Judging from the millions of tons of grain produced in Australasia every year, the profit from the storage of grain until the outbreak of World War I was not a small amount.

In addition to agriculture, Arthur also made a certain layout in education and medical care.

First of all, it is medical care, and it is becoming more and more difficult to attract medical talents from Europe.

Because as the war is about to advance, European countries are in a state of protection for more important talents in medical and military industries.

Therefore, Australasia must also seize this rare opportunity to attract as many medical talents as possible before the outbreak of World War I.

Whether it is a highly skilled doctor or a medical science researcher engaged in research, Australasia is in demand and in short supply.

Arthur even planned to have the royal consortium set up a medical group to be responsible for medical research and production, and to produce more medical supplies for Australasia and the world, if not for profit, but also for the benefit of humanity.

For example, Alexander Fleming, who is currently working in Australasia, discovered penicillin, which can be described as a miracle drug in times of war, and has extremely important strategic significance and strategic value.

If manufacturing technology had been discovered and mastered before the First World War, it alone would have been enough to make Australasia a huge fortune and become the new world nouveau riche.

Weapons, bullets, equipment, these things may be lacking for the great powers, but the shortage is not so serious.

After all, even if bullets are sent to the battlefield, more than half of them are wasted, and the bullets that can really kill the enemy are even less than one thousandth of the wasted bullets.

But penicillin is different, penicillin can save a brave soldier who should have died of an infected wound, and reduce the huge casualties in European countries.

This is of extremely important value to war, and whoever can master this magic medicine will be able to gain an advantage in war.

After all, for a veteran who has come down from the battlefield, it can take a few months to a year or so to recover from his injuries.

And a new training session is about that long. However, the combat effectiveness of the two is not the same level, and the major European powers are even willing to pay several times the price in exchange for more veterans than new ones.

The biggest effect of penicillin is to save the lives of those elite soldiers as much as possible and ensure the combat capability of the army.

The establishment of a unified medical group to take care of medical research and pharmaceutical production in Australasia will not only improve the efficiency of research and production, but also reduce the waste of people and materials.

If you can take the opportunity to expand Australasia's medical reputation, even after the war, Australasia's medical market will not be vacant, and it will be a sure deal.

Anyway, the last thing the royal consortium lacks at present is money, and the cost of forming a unified medical group is a drop in the bucket for the royal consortium, and Arthur values more for medical research and the production of medical supplies.

Of course, Arthur, the domestic medical business, will not forget. Both universities and technical schools have opened medical professions at Arthur's behest.

However, those trained at universities can work as interns, but those trained in technical schools can only work as nurses or physician assistants.

Of course, this is not a gap in academic qualifications. After all, it takes four years for university training, and it also uses all kinds of advanced equipment and excellent teachers.

However, the training of technical schools often only takes half a year to a year, and the gap in knowledge and ability is also destined to have a gap between technical school and university graduates.

However, such a gap can be made up for the day after tomorrow, and as long as the students who have graduated from technical schools are highly motivated in their profession, it is not difficult to become a qualified doctor.

In fact, this also reflects some shortcomings in Australasian education, and there is no university dedicated to a certain aspect, such as a medical university.

After careful consideration, Arthur decided to establish a medical university and a pedagogical university to train more medical and educational talents for Australasia.

The initial size of these two universities should not be too large, with an average annual enrollment limit of about 800 to 1,000 students, and they are universities that specialize in cultivating talents in fixed directions.

Of course, Arthur only gave a plan. How and where to build a university is up to the education department to decide, and Arthur only needs one result.

In addition to this, Arthur also decided to subdivide the Royal Military Academy, which he currently owns, into a number of military universities.

The current Royal Military Academy officially opened in 1907, more than four years ago.

With the graduation of the first batch of graduates of the Royal Military Academy and the entry into the army, the military academy is officially on the right track.

However, at present, the source of cadets of the Royal Military Academy is too mixed, some from the civilian sector, some from the military, and even students from foreign countries.

After careful consideration, Arthur decided to distinguish between civilian cadets and military cadets, and foreign students to be included in civilian cadets.

It is initially expected that the Royal Military College will be split into the Royal Military College in Sydney and the Royal Military College in Melbourne.

The Royal Military College of Sydney is responsible for the training of civilian cadets, foreign students and senior officers.

This also means that the four-year graduates of the Royal Military College in Sydney have just entered the army with the rank of second lieutenant or above, and they can even get the rank of lieutenant if they perform well.

These graduates are the mainstay of the Australasian army, and even if they don't mix well, it should be no problem to mix a colonel-level officer.

Although the Royal Military College of Sydney also admits cadets from the military, there are certain requirements for the rank of soldiers.

Those who can come to the Royal Military College in Sydney are generally officers of the rank of lieutenant and colonel.

They will be trained as a senior officer at the Royal Military College in Sydney, and will be able to rise by one or two ranks after graduating as a lieutenant officer, and by one or more after graduating as a colonel.

In other words, the military cadets accepted by the Royal Military Academy in Sydney are basically identified as potential officers who have been focused on training, and may become regimental commanders and division commanders in the future.

As for the commander of the division and above and even the commander of the army group, sorry, this is not something that can be considered in Australasia at the moment.

The main function of the newly established Royal Military College in Melbourne is to train junior officers for the army, that is, lieutenants and below.

This also leads to the fact that the enrollment conditions of the Royal Military College in Melbourne are very simple, civilian cadets only require junior high school education and conscription conditions, and military cadets only require one year of enlistment and excellent performance in the army.

Even the Royal Military College in Melbourne is theoretically open to Aboriginal soldiers in the Aboriginal Division, after all, the junior officers of the Aboriginal Division cannot all be Australasian officers.

To put it bluntly, the role of the Aboriginal division is to become cannon fodder and bear the casualties for the Australasian army.

There is no need for Australasian people to be the lowest level of officers in such an army, and it is no problem for those natives to become a low-level officer with simple training.

It's just that even if it's only the training opportunities for officers at the bottom, there won't be too many places for indigenous divisions.

And after these natives enter the military academy, they will be subject to stricter supervision, and it is forbidden to carry weapons under any circumstances.

The only chance they had to come across a gun was probably the target training organized by the military academy every once in a while.

After all, it is also necessary to consider the safety of the other cadets of the military academy and the outside public, even if these natives are also soldiers of Australasia, but their loyalty is not completely guaranteed.

In the unlikely event that some of the more extremist elements abscond with weapons, this is a huge threat to the security environment and the safety of the people in Australasia, and it is also a danger that must not occur.
