Chapter 446: Guoqiang is in scientific research
For Arthur and Australasia, preventing the United States from entering this world war is tantamount to a total restriction on American development.
The United States did not gain much land expansion in World War I, and the size of the American territory was nothing compared to the size of the British and French colonies.
But it is undeniable that the United States gained the foundation to become a world hegemon in World War I, which is far more important than those colonies.
No matter how vast the colonies of Britain and France were, the United States and the Soviet Union at that time quickly dismantled the centuries-old colonial system of Britain and France by exporting liberal democratic ideas.
As long as the United States does not enter the war, the United States will not invest frantically in military affairs, and the United States will not achieve the status of a top power or even equal to Britain and France.
You know, before World War I, the United States did not have a high status in Europe. The stereotype of the United States for the British is that they are nouveau riche and have deep pockets, that their hard power in science and technology and military is significantly weaker than that of European countries, and that their overall strength is only the fifth power after Britain, Germany, France, and Russia.
If it does not participate in this war, the economy of the United States will still be controlled by European countries, and the military strength of the United States will still be so weak that it is not even as good as Australasia.
Even if the United States changes its strategic plan and competes with Australasia in the Pacific, its military strength will not rise in a short period of time, because the US government still has congressional restrictions, and there is no reason for large-scale war.
Of course, the battle on the front line has already been handed over to the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Division Commander Thomas, so naturally he will not be frequently asked.
As the so-called suspects don't use, use people without suspicion. Maintaining sufficient trust in the officers at the front line is also an imperial tool.
Of course, this is on the premise that Arthur is in control of the situation at home. Like Wilhelm II, there were powerful factions in the country, and the army was also controlled by the Junker aristocracy, so it was normal for it to be overthrown.
The task of launching the joint campaign was left to Division Commander Thomas, and Arthur's task was to stabilize the situation at home and promote the development of Australasia in all aspects.
With the National Day of 1917 passing smoothly, the people of Australasia also returned to their normal lives.
Arthur and a group of officials began to inspect and travel around Sydney.
January is summer in Australasia, but Australasia isn't hot either. The maximum temperature so far is only in the mid-30s, which is a good time to travel.
Arthur's group targeted the National University of Australasia, the first national university established under Arthur's rule.
In fact, the entire Australasian college students have always been known to the outside world for their hard work and hard work.
Arthur spares no effort in the training of college students, not only the full supply of various materials, but also the food from all over the world, so that these college students can use more food to relax while studying hard.
The duration of study in Australasia is an ordinary four years, of which the real study time is only about two years, and about two years will be spent on internships.
The major factories and enterprises in Australasia provide a good internship environment for these college students, and also better promote the practical ability training of these college students.
Arthur's philosophy of cultivating college students has always been that practical ability is greater than theoretical knowledge, and natural thinking is greater than rote memorization.
Because of this, these students not only need to learn various knowledge at school, but also need to go to various factories and companies for internships.
After gaining the recognition of the internship company and factory, these college students will successfully graduate and become an excellent college graduate.
Because of this unique training method, it can basically ensure that every Australasian university graduate has a certain ability, and is definitely not the kind of waste that messes around.
It is precisely in this way that every Australasian university student is a sought-after resource for major factories and enterprises, and it is not uncommon for recent college graduates to become senior executives of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Don't underestimate today's college students. So far, the number of university students in Australasia has not exceeded 500,000, accounting for only about 2.7% of the total population.
Although the number of universities in Australasia is already very large, the number of students graduating each year is close to 15,000.
But in the short term, the gold content of university education will not decrease, and Australasia also needs more college students to develop the country.
It is worth mentioning that Australasian university students will have ideological education courses two or three times a week, and there will be special people to teach the idea of loyalty and patriotism and the concept of serving the country.
Such an ideological education curriculum ensures that Australasian university students are used for their own purposes and not for other countries.
Of course, pure ideological education is not Arthur's ultimate means of winning over these college students.
Improving the welfare of all university students, and even all researchers, is the main way for Arthur to attract all researchers and talents at home and abroad.
As the saying goes, the one who is a confidant dies. Only with enough respect and value for these college students and talents will they gain their allegiance.
The policy of improving the treatment of scientific research talents will be implemented by Arthur all the time. Funds, land titles, medals, etc., can be used as a reward for these scientific research talents, first to ensure that Australasia's own scientific research talents are loyal to the country, and on this basis, to attract more foreign scientific research experts to join Australasia.
It is precisely because of Australasia's unique education method that Australasian college students are the most tired of all college students in the world.
Heavy coursework, a large number of internships and many scientific research projects have prompted these college students to have a lot of work to do, even on holidays.
However, when they learned that Arthur was about to come to the school for an inspection, many college students still took time out of their free time and had already secured a place in the school square in advance.
Ever since Arthur became Duke of Australia, there has been a tradition of inspecting schools, factories and businesses.
But after all, Australasia is a big family, and it has been two years since the last visit to Australasian National University, and many new students are looking forward to seeing Arthur and the King they and his family love.
In addition to Arthur's improvement in the treatment of Arthur, the love of the college students for Arthur is also the fact that Arthur improves the treatment of all their family and friends.
While Arthur was able to guarantee that all people in Australasia were high-income people, Arthur was able to ensure that no one in Australasia would go hungry.
The Crown Consortium invests heavily every year in order to help all low-income people in Australasia and make the country less of a disaster.
Of the more than 3,000 students in the four classes of the National University, I dare not say much, but at least one-fifth of the families have received relief from Arthur.
At this time, the educational environment in Australasia has been much better, at least college students are no longer exclusive to high-income people, and low-income people can also afford to support college students.
Australasia's education subsidy policy has been in place since primary school, providing education subsidies for students who seem to be doing well in learning and behaving, as well as tuition waivers for students from low-income groups.
Tuition waivers can reduce tuition fees by up to half and are why Australasia's per capita education and literacy rate are increasing dramatically each year.
When Arthur first came to Australia, Australia's population literacy rate and per capita education were very low, and the per capita education was only at the primary school level.
After nearly 17 years of development, Australia's population literacy rate has reached more than 85%, and the per capita education level is as high as junior high school.
After a period of preparation, in the eyes of many college students, Arthur and his party came slowly, and soon stood on the high platform in the square.
"Good afternoon, lads!" Arthur said with a smile at the audience.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, good afternoon!"
The college students in the audience replied one after another.
"Today's day does not seem to be a gathering of people, but the scorching sun is also a test for you. Tell me, can such a scorching sun bring you to your knees and make you give up? Arthur looked at the already scorching sun above his head and began his speech.
"Can't!" Everyone said in unison with all their strength.
"Very well, I see your will. I am certainly confident that your will will will not be shaken by anything, whether it be the scorching sun or the cold wind. You are one of the best university students in Australasia, the hope of Australasia's rise, and the hope of all Australasian people. Arthur continued:
"Maybe you don't know your mission yet, but I want to tell you that your destiny is to make this country stronger and stronger, so that your family, friends and all your compatriots who do not know you can live in a peaceful, stable and strong country."
"From the first day you entered the university, and your mentors taught you the truth that knowledge can change your destiny. Indeed, Australasia was a small and weak country before, and it is precisely because of the hard work of a large number of Australasian people that our great country has grown into a great power, with the strength to protect all its citizens. ”
"I hope that you, the new university students, will continue to fulfill your mission and fight for the great country and the great rise of Australasia."
"As the saying goes, the wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country. Now the burden of national development will fall on your shoulders, and all your compatriots are watching you. Tell me, boys, are you ready? Are you ready for the great mission that this time has given you? ”
