Although the combat effectiveness of the army can not be completely measured by the degree of shock reflected in the parade, the combat effectiveness of the army can also be clearly reflected in the parade, at least it can be roughly reflected.

If Australasian people are only proud to see their own army, then they can deeply appreciate the strength of the Australasian army when they see the next review of the armies of other countries.

This is not self-aggrandizement, but simply the disparity in strength reflected in the different performances of the armies of several countries.

If you don't count Australasia, there are still many countries participating in the review, and there are more than a dozen of them.

However, in addition to the fact that the British army is quite neat and the equipment is not much different from Australasia, other countries are far inferior to Australasia in terms of weapons and equipment, the neatness of the soldiers' inspection, and the solemnity and shock.

This can also be seen in the news coverage after the parade, with national and international media boasting about the Australasian army, but not most of the armies of other countries who attended the parade.

Fortunately, both Australasian and foreign media are still willing to give the British a face, and there are naturally British people in the big boasting army.

However, many media praised the British for only their weapons and equipment, which also showed the fact that they believed that the Australasian army was more capable of fighting than the British army.

After the military parade, the National Day activities have come to an end. However, the representatives and the military are not in a hurry to leave, after all, everyone is a member of the British and Australasian system, and now is a good opportunity for many countries to get closer to each other.

Arthur's more important negotiation was naturally cooperation with the United Kingdom. No matter how important other countries are, they will not be able to compare to the benefits that Britain has brought to Australasia.

It has been decided that the majority of Australasian people are British immigrants, and that the British influence on Australasia is the largest among many countries, and Arthur has to consider the opinions of British immigrants.

Fortunately, the current good relations with the British are also destined to have no problems with the cooperation with the British.

Arthur and George V signed a treaty in the presence of many media outlets, marking a new chapter in the relationship between Britain and Australasia.

Of course, the exact content of the treaty will not be disclosed, and even the areas of cooperation will not be made public.

Arthur placed more emphasis on working with the British population. The number of unemployed in the UK is growing, and although the British government has promulgated corresponding welfare policies to ensure a certain income and material supply for the unemployed, it still cannot improve the current situation in the UK.

Because of this, Australasia has become the biggest profiteer. Under the agreement signed by Arthur and George V, the UK will vigorously promote immigration to Australasia, which is expected to reach up to about half a million people a year.

Don't think 500,000 is too little. If 500,000 immigrants can be obtained from the UK, this means that the total number of immigrants in Australasia can exceed 1 million.

Coupled with the local newborn population, Australasia can still rapidly increase its population size at a rate of more than 1.5 million per year while maintaining the advantage of the majority of the British immigrant population.

Although this population growth rate is still not comparable to that of other countries with larger populations, 1.5 million per year is definitely not slow, and it could have brought the population of Australasia closer to 40 million before World War II.

This kind of population cooperation was naturally what Arthur was most willing to see, and it was also the condition that George V offered to attract Arthur the most.

It is clear that both sides are very happy to see such immigrants. This will not only improve the social problem of the large number of unemployed people in the UK, but also the development problem of Australasia's lack of population size.

In fact, not only the UK, but many European countries are immigrating in large numbers. It is difficult to properly solve the problem that the growing number of unemployed people in European countries is difficult to solve, so it is better to directly encourage these unemployed people to emigrate abroad, which can not only reduce the number of unemployed people, but also strengthen the influence of foreign countries.

At present, the country with the largest number of immigrants each year is Russia, which loses more than 1.3 million people in terms of migration every year.

Of these, 300,000 to 400,000 went to Australasia, hundreds of thousands to the Balkans, and a significant number to Poland, the Baltics and other parts of Europe.

Although more than 1.3 million people are lost in terms of migration each year, Russia's total population has been on the rise since the end of the civil war.

It's something that can't be helped. Most of Russia's population is agricultural, and the growth rate of the agricultural population has always been not low.

Tsarist Russia had its most dramatic population growth in the previous year, with a population increase of more than 6 million people.

You know, that's the amount of population growth after subtracting the number of immigrants and deaths. If it is only the number of births, it is even approaching 7 million.

You must know that the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and other second- and third-rate countries in Europe, their total population is also hovering around 7 million.

At its peak, Russia's population grew by as much as the population of these countries combined, and it is enough to see how exaggerated Russia's population growth rate is.

According to the current situation and data of various countries, as of the beginning of 1926, the native population of the Great Powers was ranked as follows:

1st place, Russia, 115 million people.

Second place, the United States, 112 million people.

The third place, the island nation, 60.13 million people.

Fourth, Germany, 58.14 million people.

fifth, the United Kingdom, 44.77 million people.

Sixth, Italy, 38.42 million people.

Seventh place, France, 37.59 million people.

Eighth place, Australasia, 29.76 million people.

It can be clearly seen that before and after the First World War, there were obvious changes in the population rankings and disparities of various countries.

Before World War I, Russia had a far leading population, but now it is almost the same as the United States.

If it weren't for Australasia's seizure of some immigrants from the United States, the population of the United States would have surpassed that of Russia by this time.

In addition to the effects of the Civil War, Russia's First World War, including foreign immigration, also reduced its population by more than 10 million compared to history.

In addition, the population of the island nation surpassed that of Germany, becoming the third among the great powers.

Compared to other powers, the island nations were not affected by the First World War. Although this also allowed the island nation to gain a lot less in the First World War, its population did not decrease in the slightest, and even broke through the 60 million mark, becoming the third most populous country among the great powers.

Although Germany's population has declined dramatically, the population of Germany's old rival, France, has not recovered much either.

This situation is consistent with history, and Arthur even doubted that France would be able to raise its population to nearly 50 million before the outbreak of World War II, as it has historically done.

You know, if Germany provokes World War II, France will definitely be the vanguard of resistance to Germany.

I wonder if France is now setting a record for surrendering in one month, as it has done in history.

Although the population ranking has changed significantly, it is generally good news for Australasia.

Before World War I, Australasia did not even qualify for the list, and the population was not even comparable to Italy, which was in the last place, or even far inferior.

But now, the gap between Australasia's population and the previous France's is not too big, and even a goal is set that it can be surpassed in 15 years.

Still, the current population rankings are evidence of Australasia's population shortcomings.

The importance of population in this era is undeniable, and only with a sufficient population can we seek a higher international status.

It can be seen from the current population ranking that it is not an accident that the United States succeeded Britain as the world hegemon after World War II, but is the accumulation of dozens or even hundreds of years of national strength.

If nothing else, the size of the American population of more than 100 million people is already beyond the reach of other countries.

And many of these 100 million people are immigrants from European countries, and the rise of the United States is also weakening other European countries in disguise.

If it weren't for Australasia attracting some immigrants, I am afraid that the gap between the United States and European countries would be even greater at this time, and the United States' voice would not be so low.

At least for now, Australasia is the first choice for British immigrants, and Australasia is also the first choice for Russian immigrants.

This is why Australasia's population has grown rapidly since the First World War, and has even gradually replaced the United States as a popular destination for immigrants.

If Russia and the United States are still competing in terms of population, then in terms of economy, there is no country that can match the prosperity of the United States.

Of course, we're talking about the local. If Britain were to count all its colonies, it would barely compete with the United States in terms of economic and industrial output.

But the problem is that the continental United States is a whole, while the British colonies are a scattered collection.

In other words, the potential for Americans to explode on their own efforts alone is already fearful.

And the British, counting all the colonies, even had to eat the dividends of India's population, plus the vast land and resources, to barely reach the current economic and industrial scale of the United States.

What a terrible statistic is this? Germany in its heyday could not achieve such crushing, which is why the British were so taboo about the Americans.

If it weren't for the original Naval Limitation Treaty, there would not have been a thorough survey of the industrial and economic scale of each country.

It is precisely because of the detailed investigation of the industrial and economic situation in the United States that the British government directly regards the United States as a top threat, far more than other countries at present.

In other words, even if they knew that Australasia would benefit from fighting the United States, as long as Australasia's population, economic size, and industrial production were not comparable to those of the United States, the British thought it would be worth it.
