The delegates stayed for about a week, and during that week, they signed a number of cooperation agreements with each other, leaving them with smiles on their faces.

The harvest is naturally Arthur and Australasia. There was two pieces of good news for Arthur, one was the deepening of immigration cooperation with the British, and the other was that the British recognized their dominance in the Philippines and the Emirate of Kalimantan.

After all, the Emirate of Kalimantan is next to the British Straits Settlements, and it is also very necessary to divide the interests with the British to avoid conflicts between the two regions and jeopardize the relationship between the British and Australasia above the two regions.

After sending off the delegates, Australasia convened a cabinet meeting to take stock of the 1925 government's achievements and to discuss when to move to Fort St. Arthur's to end the long journey to the capital.

Regardless of the situation in the world, Australia's development is relatively smooth. Although it intervened in the Dutch colony in 1925, it did not incur much military expenditure and did not cause many casualties.

In 1925, Australasia's GDP exceeded $1,807.2 million, a record growth rate of 15%.

The reason why the economy has grown so rapidly is that in addition to opening up the two major markets, there is also the actual change in people's lives brought about by the previously planned construction.

The second four-year plan has been implemented for some time now, and the results achieved are also an important reason for promoting economic growth.

Due to the influence of the four-year plan, in 1925, the total production of steel and iron in Australasia reached 4.152 million tons and 6.713 million tons respectively, and the total production not only exceeded 10 million tons, but even approached 11 million tons.

Although it is not as good as the United States, it is not weak among the great powers, at least for the population of Australasia, such an industrial level is already considered strong.

Although the 20th anniversary ceremony cost millions of Australian dollars, the small amount of money that was undoubtedly worth the increase in Australasia's international status brought by the parade.

What's more, with a total revenue of $227 million in 1925, the government wouldn't care about spending millions of dollars.

At the same time as the total fiscal revenue reached a new high, the total fiscal expenditure in 1925 also ushered in an increase to $199 million, which is no different from $200 million.

The good news is that even in this case, the government has maintained a fiscal surplus of close to 30 million, which means that Australasia's fiscal position is very good, and all kinds of construction can no longer put a greater burden on the finances.

People's incomes are growing, and although they are still around $62, the Australian dollar has become more valuable as currencies depreciate.

However, it is also alarming that countries are beginning to depreciate their currencies. If Arthur remembers correctly, a few years after the currencies began to devolve, the world-changing economic crisis erupted.

What are the reasons for countries to start devaluing their currencies on their own initiative? It is nothing more than that the status quo of countries can no longer support the gold standard, and alternative economic prosperity is needed through currency devaluation.

Among them, the biggest currency depreciation is in France, and the current degree of franc retention is not as high as half of the franc five years ago, and the degree of depreciation is very exaggerated.

What can a currency depreciation bring?

The most striking thing is the decline in imports and the continuous increase in exports. In 1925, France's exports of industrial goods set a new record, giving the French economy the appearance of returning to its pre-war boom.

But in fact, such an economic boom has come at the cost of currency depreciation, and the French economy is not so stable, and the rise in prices brought about by inflation has made life not so good for the French.

I have to admit that currency depreciation can indeed make the economy continue to grow and prosper for a period of time, and it is also the real reason why countries have begun to depreciate their currencies during this period of history.

What's more, currency depreciation can lead to economic prosperity, and if you don't adapt it, you can only suffer from it.

Arthur has been paying close attention to the depreciation of European currencies and has kept the Australian dollar and the British pound unchanged at 2 to 1 as much as possible.

The position of the pound at this time is still relatively strong, and with the influence of the British Empire as the world's first, it is destined not to depreciate much.

Other currencies such as the dollar, franc and so on cannot pose a threat to the position of the pound for the time being, and even if the US economy is the largest in the world, it will still not be able to promote the globalization of the dollar.

The government's report on 1925 was soon over, and the topic of the Cabinet meeting soon came to terms with whether or not to move to Fort St. Arthur.

Whether or not to relocate is a question that has already been answered, and Fort St. Arthur, as the future capital of Australasia, is destined to be relocated.

But the question is, when exactly to move, and how long to relocate, these are all worth pondering and thinking about.

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Roger was the first to stand up, and said very crisply and firmly: "I think it's time to move our capital to Fort St. Arthur." The construction of Fort St. Arthur has ended, and the smooth holding of the National Day activities has also made Fort St. Arthur's reputation known to the outside world.

I think this is our best opportunity to relocate our capital, and we should do it quickly, so that Fort St. Arthur can truly become our new capital by the middle of this year. ”

As Prime Minister of the government, Prime Minister Roger has so much to think about.

First of all, in order to stabilize his position, the relocation of the capital should best be carried out during his tenure, and Prime Minister Roger will also be the first prime minister to enter the new Council, and Fort St. Arthur is destined to be different from Sydney.

More importantly, the relocation of the capital was decided by Arthur, and it was clearly in Arthur's interest to move the capital at this time.

If Prime Minister Roger wants to seek re-election, Arthur's support is also very important. This is why Prime Minister Roger proposed to move the capital as soon as possible, in order to gain Arthur's support and start a new job in a new place.

However, if there are voices of support, there will naturally be voices of opposition.

Apparently opposed is the Minister for People's Livelihood, Ludega, an official who won a cabinet seat through the Rural Party of Australasia, and who naturally values the interests of rural and low-income people.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's time to move the capital." Minister Ludegar explained: "Although St Arthur's Fort has been built, it is nowhere near as big and well-known as Sydney.

If we relocate the capital to Fort St. Arthur, our capital will go from being an internationally renowned metropolis to a small and medium-sized city with no better name.

It's a big blow to our immigration appeal, and some people don't even know where our capital is. ”

Australasia is also a powerful power, and its international reputation is undoubted.

In any country in Europe and the United States, when it comes to Australasian cities, Sydney and Melbourne almost blurt out.

The scale of these two cities is also relatively large in the world, and Sydney's population size can even rank among the top ten in the world, which is enough to see the popularity of these two cities in the world.

But Fort St. Arthur is different. Although the infrastructure has been covered during the long construction, the size and population of the city are still only small and medium-sized cities.

Moving too quickly is a waste of Sydney's popularity, Sydney is no longer the capital, and it is not so attractive to some immigrants.

"It's not a problem." Industry Secretary Joey said with a smile: "After this military parade, Fort St. Arthur's popularity will be greatly increased, although it is not as good as Sydney, but it is definitely not a small city with a bad reputation."

What's more, after becoming our new capital, Fort St. Arthur can usher in better development, and through Fort St. Arthur, we can better radiate the entire Murray River Basin.

If it's just for a city, we can postpone the time to move the capital. However, for the development of the entire Murray River Basin, the sooner the capital is moved, the better.

Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, I agree with Prime Minister Roger that since the capital is to be moved, it is natural that the sooner it is done, the better. ”

It is not surprising that Industry Secretary Joey supports Prime Minister Roger's view, given that in addition to supporting agriculture, industrial development is also an extremely important part of the Murray River Basin.

As Secretary of State for Industry, Minister Joy has been re-elected for two terms, and it has become even more difficult to seek a third term.

This also means that he has to contribute to the industrial side, and it is very important for Minister Joy to develop the industrial scale of the Murray River Basin.

To put it simply, the previous Leonora industrial base has nothing to do with the current Minister Joy.

Although Minister Joy has also advocated the construction of several industrial zones, they are far from comparable to the Leonora Industrial Base in terms of scale and popularity.

In order to generate enough political achievements for yourself, it is important to build an industrial zone comparable to the industrial base of Leonora.

In order to seek a third term, it is necessary to build some industry in the capital SAR in order to have the possibility of seeking a third term.

If you stay in Sydney, there is no room for Minister Joy to dictate to the industry near Sydney.

The industry here only needs to follow the rules and develop in the direction that has been set before, and Minister Joy will not have any contribution.

Although the Capital Special Economic Zone is not poor and white in terms of industry, it does not have a very good plan, and Minister Joy can build a new huge industrial zone according to his own ideas.

The achievements brought about by an industrial zone comparable to that of the industrial base of Leonora are impressed even by Minister Joy, who is a member of the cabinet.

The Cabinet was roughly divided into two factions, one of which, like Prime Minister Roger and Minister Joy, wanted to move the capital as soon as possible to make Fort St Arthur's the new capital of Australasia.

On the other hand, like Minister Ludegar, their party and influence do not have much influence in the capital d.c., and moving the capital is a loss for them and reduces their chances of seeking re-election.

There are also neutrals like Minister Raul, who are all waiting for Arthur's opinion and then unconditionally supporting Arthur.

Arthur saw the controversy in the cabinet clearly, but such controversy was unavoidable, and Arthur was not surprised at all.

Although Australasia is under Arthur's control, as long as it is human, it will have seven emotions and six desires, and it will have its own ideas and ambitions.

Their allegiance to Arthur is true, but on the premise of being loyal to Arthur, they will naturally strive for more benefits for themselves and their own power parties.

Arthur was open to such controllable rivalries and disagreements, and encouraged the government to emerge such disagreements, which represented more ideas and ideas.

As long as Arthur is in control, this disagreement is completely manageable. For no matter how great the differences in government are, they must be dominated by Arthur's opinion.

As long as Arthur is in control, it is unlikely that the government will have a greater conflict that will affect the stability of the government and the prestige of the country.

As a monarch, don't expose your thoughts and opinions too early, and don't directly refute the opinions of your subordinates.

Whether it is right or wrong, this gives the impression of arbitrariness and is detrimental to the monarch's own position.

The best way to deal with such differences is to make the final decision in a fairer way when there is control.

What's fairer? Naturally, all the cabinet members voted.

This is also Arthur's cleverness, using the voting results of the entire cabinet to express his opinion, which seems to be the cabinet's own choice, and naturally does not give Arthur the illusion of arbitrariness.

On the contrary, it would give the impression that Arthur had great respect for the views of his cabinet members, and would make the Australasian government look more democratic and fair.
