Of the six awards at the Sydney Film Festival, patriotic films won five awards, with only one big-budget film promoting an attraction winning Best Cinematography.

However, this result did not meet with the opposition from the public, and the public still agreed with this result.

After all, the patriotic films that won the awards were all films produced by the three major film studios with a lot of investment, not only did the script come from the efforts of many literary workers, but even the most professional directors were invited for photography.

The corresponding music production, set setting, etc. are all the best in Australasia, and if these films do not account for the majority of the awards, it proves that the selection of the awards is problematic.

On the day and day after the festival, the award became a hot topic in Australasia, and the films that won the awards were much more popular.

Overall, this Sydney Film Festival is still very effective. Not only has many films regained their popularity, but also the companies that shoot these films and the directors and actors involved in them have an impression in the hearts of the public.

Compared with later generations, the movies of this era have no artistic pursuits, nor do they have any scenes that stimulate the eye.

After all, the picture is all black and white, and the picture quality is blurry in some cases, and it is not easy to tell a complete story clearly, let alone pursue the excitement on the picture and shock the audience through the picture.

This is also the current trend in the development of films, because of technical reasons, the picture is generally abandoned in favor of a more moving story.

And "The Dream of Australasia" is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it is about the dream of the rise of Australasia.

It's just a dream, but it's what everyone from Arthur to Australasian wants to accomplish.

As the first Australasian sound film, the shock that this film brought to Australasian people is unparalleled.

No matter how many new patriotic films are released each year, Australasian Dream is screened for free every year on National Day, and it is warmly received.

Judging from this year's data, it is obviously a familiar movie, but it still attracted millions of people to watch, which is already a relatively exaggerated number.

Now this movie has attracted a lot of imitators abroad, and even island countries have filmed their own island country ambitions, attracting a large number of island people to watch.

It's just that the rise of Australasia is already a dream that is about to be realized, and the ambition of the island country is much more difficult to realize than the rise of Australasia.

As the clock ticked into February, Arthur signed a decree to increase the import of immigrants from New Guinea, including from the colonies.

The purpose of this decree was to promote the population increase of the colonies and to accelerate the localization of the colonies in Australasia.

Before World War II, we will strive to localize all important areas such as New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Crown Territory, and Sulawesi, so that we can stabilize the domestic situation during the war and do not have to worry about the collapse of the colonial system after the war.

Even after World War II, Australasia only needed to maintain the Persian Gulf Territory, which greatly reduced the political pressure and the military pressure on the army.

Even if the Persian Gulf territory is lost, as long as the basic territory of Oceania can be maintained, Australasia is still the hegemon of the southern hemisphere, and its position in the southern hemisphere cannot be changed.

After the complete success of Timor's colonial localization strategy, the eyes of the whole country were on the localization of the colonies in New Guinea.

New Guinea is very important to Australasia today, not only as a potential water supplier, but also as an important barrier to northern Australasia, as well as a very large territory.

The island is also rich in mineral resources, both in terms of strategic position and economic value, which is a territory that Australasia must control, and the best way to control it is to localize.

The bad news, however, is that New Guinea and Asia Pacific are too large, and more people are needed than Timoris are needed to fully develop and occupy them.

New Guinea's territory is not inferior to the state administrative regions of Australasia, and it is impossible to develop it without millions or even tens of millions of people.

Even if it is only a preliminary development, it will require at least a million or more people to basically stabilize the situation in New Guinea.

The original indigenous population of New Guinea is also a problem, and there are still some indigenous people who are currently in Sulawesi, which must be demobilized as soon as possible.

First of all, these natives were all black and were not part of any Australasian plan at all.

Second, these indigenous people theoretically have sovereignty over New Guinea, and the remains of indigenous tribes in New Guinea also prove that these people lived in New Guinea for a long time.

When the colonial system collapsed, the natives of these colonies naturally gained the sovereignty of the colony, which Arthur would not have allowed at all.

Therefore, the early expulsion of Aborigines from Australasia and allowing them to mix abroad for a long time would minimise the impact of these Aborigines on the colony.

Twenty or thirty years later, how will these natives tell that they are the natives of New Guinea?

At the end of February, the Philippines finally couldn't hold on anymore and again asked for Australasia's help.

Of course, the inability to hold here is not the inability of the army, but the inability of weapons and ammunition.

The Philippines does not have much of a military industry, and it is naturally impossible to manufacture bullets to match Australasian weapons.

The only way they were able to use the weapons was to buy large quantities of weapons and ammunition from Australasia.

Although Australasia has provided two successive batches of weapons and ammunition to the Philippines, the cost of the war is immeasurable, let alone a poorly trained combat army like the Philippines.

This time, Arthur did not provide free assistance, but asked the Philippines to provide resources of equal value, or directly provide manpower.

The construction of railways in Australasia has begun, and there will be various major projects in the future, and the manpower provided by the Philippines can better supplement the human resources gap in Australasia.

At the same time, these Filipinos will not have an impact on Australasia. In contrast to the indigenous people, Filipinos are repatriated after completing their tasks, which is equivalent to a group of temporary hired laborers.

The long-term war disadvantage has made the Americans move seriously, and the change of US government has arrived, which has caused President Wilson a great headache.

In order to save his face, President Wilson has signed an ordinance on troop increases, and there are still bigger battles to be fought in the Philippine theater.

Arthur naturally will not sit idly by and watch the Philippines be defeated by the Americans, and he is still quite generous when it comes to providing weapons and equipment.

On the Philippine side, Manuel agreed to pay 100,000 manpower, plus the right of first refusal to exploit the country's domestic mineral resources, in exchange for up to 200,000 rifles, 50 million rounds of ammunition, 200 artillery pieces of various calibers, 150 heavy machine guns, 100,000 rounds of artillery shells, 3 million rounds of machine gun ammunition and many other weapons and equipment.

The Philippines has also procured millions of grenades that have performed well in the offensive battles, which is enough for the Philippines to double its own army.

Regardless of whether the Americans are serious or not, the Philippine army, armed with these weapons and equipment, is bound to make the Americans drink a pot.

It would be better to make the Philippine War of Independence bigger and more anxious, so as to distract the Americans more.

If the Americans can get bogged down in the Philippines, it will be good news for both Britain and Australasia.

Because of the change of the United States, the Philippine Revolutionary War will inevitably become the issue of presidential candidates' presidential campaigns.

Those who promise to end the Philippine War of Independence as soon as possible may win the support of the American public.

But the question is, was the Philippine War of Independence really that easy to solve? Current indications are that the Philippines has other powers behind it, most likely one of the United Kingdom and Australasia.

Under such circumstances, the United States wants a quick solution to the war in the Philippines unless it can secure the support of other powers.

But the problem is that the United States does not have a good reputation at the moment, and even its allies and island nations do not necessarily support itself.

Moreover, the international status of the United States and the island countries is certainly not as good as that of the United Kingdom and Australasia.

After all, Britain and Australasia are backed by the entire world alliance and unite dozens of small and medium-sized countries, which is beyond the reach of the United States, which is outside the world alliance.

Thinking of this, President Wilson hated the crap of Congress even more.

If Congress had not forcefully blocked the United States, the United States would have created the League of Nations long before Britain, so how could it have wandered outside the world's largest alliance?

You know, an organization like the World League has a huge impact on the international status and influence.

Even in the long run, Britain's actions can be turned into the actions of the entire world coalition at any time, and there is a natural moral advantage.

The competition between the United States and Britain naturally turned into a competition between the United States and the world, and coupled with the bad reputation of the United States, the fate of the United States can be imagined.

But then again, if the American presidential contender does not commit to ending the war in the Philippines as soon as possible, will the American people support him? Not necessarily, I'm afraid

The current Philippine War of Independence has become a knot in the hearts of Americans, and it is a contradiction that will explode if it is not handled well, and it will also ignite discontent in the hearts of Americans.

How to properly handle the issue of the Philippine war, which can end the war as soon as possible without causing the United States to lose anything, is a question that the incumbent President Wilson and several presidential candidates should think about.

Otherwise, even if they succeed in being elected president, they will be overwhelmed by the Philippine issue. It is better to prepare in advance and wait for your own solutions when you take office.

Compared to the headache of the US government, Arthur seems to be much easier.

The first is the distance advantage, and the second is that Australasia has the support of the United Kingdom. Moreover, the economic situation of the United States is not necessarily good, because the large amount of compensation for the flu has long put the US government's finances into a state of strain.

Besides, whether the U.S. government is united is also a question. Even if the president of the United States wants to continue the war, it will depend on whether Congress agrees or not.

To put it bluntly, if Arthur really wants to drag the United States into the quagmire of war in the Philippines, it is really difficult for the United States to struggle out.

Unless the United States abandons the Philippines for nothing, whether the Americans will agree is also a question worth considering.

For the current US President Wilson and the next US presidents, how to choose and how to take corresponding actions will be a matter of deep thought and deep thought.

After arranging for weapons and equipment to go to the Philippines, Arthur was relieved and began to inspect the current situation of the military factory by the way.

Speaking of which, Australasia's military industry is also a pillar industry, and its current scale is also among the top in the world.

Because both Germany and Austria-Hungary were severely limited in their military development, Australasia directly surpassed two places in terms of arms and equipment exports, and came to the third place in the world after Britain and the United States.

Yes, Australasia's arms trade has reached the third highest level in the world. It is not surprising that the British Empire is the first to sit on the throne, after all, Britain has a number of younger brothers in Europe, and these younger brothers will buy British armaments.

The reason why the United States is in second place is because the trade treaty between the United States and the island countries allows the island countries to import a large number of American-style weapons every year.

If it weren't for the existence of this treaty, the U.S. arms trade market would not be as good as Australasia's.

After all, Australasia's arms trade had grown dramatically during World War I, and it was one of the Allied arms suppliers of World War I, with the largest total number of arms exports of any Allied country.

It was sold to Russia, now it is sold to Russia and the Philippines, and even quite a few Asian countries have ordered equipment from Australasia.

These arms trade orders add up to not only easily feed the Royal Arsenal, but even keep the size of the Royal Arsenal at a rather exaggerated figure.

The profits brought by arms are not inferior to those of other industries, and even the windfall profits from the export of arms are in some respects far superior to those of agriculture and animal husbandry.

The profits of an arms trade may only be made by selling millions of tons of grain.

Arthur has no idea of dismantling the arms industry for the time being, after all, the income brought to Australasia by the Russian Civil War is enough to feed the military industry.

This is also the reason why European countries are reluctant to end the Russian civil war, and the income brought to European countries by the Russian civil war alone is enough to make these countries change their positions.

Although at the outset a strict blockade was imposed on Soviet Russia, restricting the import of any goods into Soviet Russia.

But do such restrictions really work? If it had worked, Soviet Russia would not have held out until now.
