After inspecting the progress of the Nuclear Weapons Research Group, rewarding and encouraging all the research staff of the Research Group, giving them awards from Arthur and the Royal Family, and promising them time to see their families, Arthur also concluded his inspection of the Nuclear Weapons Research and Development Team.

As for seeing the workflow of nuclear weapons with his own eyes, Arthur was not really very interested.

No kidding, these workflows are dangerous, and the slightest carelessness can be a huge casualty.

If Arthur insists on watching, these scientists will definitely not object, but it will definitely cause great damage to the progress of nuclear weapons research.

These scientists have to take care of Arthur's safety, and secondly, they have to carry out the process of making nuclear weapons under Arthur's watch, and it is very difficult to make mistakes.

Arthur doesn't make trouble for himself. After all, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and the most important thing a qualified monarch should do is not to make trouble for himself and his subordinates.

A lot of trouble is self-inflicted, and Arthur still knows this truth very well. As long as Arthur is quietly inspecting, there will be no problems, and he can still gain the favor of these scientists, so why not?

Upon his return to Fort St. Arthur from the city where the nuclear weapons research project team was based, Arthur soon received news that something had changed on the part of Germany.

Like Italy, the Germans have changed dramatically after all.

Arthur was not surprised. The poor economic situation in Germany already determines the chaos of the political situation, and coups and revolutions are completely normal.

Of course, as in history, the mustache came to power, was named Chancellor of the German Empire by Wilhelm II, and abolished the position of German president.

President Hindenburg, who retired with honor, was not only forced to lose his presidency, but also fell ill on the way back to his homeland after bearing the infamy of Germany's defeat in World War I.

Since Italy, Germany has also entered the rule of extremism. Wilhelm II may have been tired of political struggles, or perhaps he had followed Arthur's advice and decided to stay away from German politics for the time being.

In short, after becoming the prime minister of Germany, the military and political power of Germany fell into the hands of the mustache.

Of course, it is said that it is military and political power, but in fact it is a mess. The reason why Mustache was able to successfully take over Hindenburg's power was that in addition to his high esteem among the German people, the stormtroopers he created had actually become the largest armed force in Germany.

This is no joke. You know, the size of the German army is limited to 150,000 people. After the partition of the states, the number of troops of the imperial government was less than 70,000.

Look at the mustache again. The number of stormtroopers has exceeded 200,000, far exceeding the number of German troops combined.

In a situation where each state has its own affairs and is faintly independent of the imperial government, the mustache really has no opponent in the imperial government, which is why the rule of President Hindenburg is coming to an end.

It must not be trusted by the monarch Wilhelm II, not by the people at the bottom, not by political parties.

With the support of the Junker aristocracy and a small part of the military, President Hindenburg could no longer maintain his rule, and his presidency was more of a joke.

President Hindenburg's impeachment and removal from office is more like the result of the joint efforts of Wilhelm II and Mustache.

In exchange, Wilhelm II appointed Mustache as Prime Minister of Germany, handing over all the military and political power of Germany to him.

The mustache will also protect Wilhelm II's monarchy, and his reign will not voluntarily abolish the monarchy.

After doing all this, Wilhelm II moved with his children and family to a small town outside Berlin, expressing his determination not to interfere in politics again.

The mustache was also relieved that he could implement his own reforms in Germany in a bold way, and build Germany into the powerful empire he had in mind.

Of course, it was 1930, and Britain and France still attached great importance to German restrictions.

The mustache has no intention of abolishing the restrictive treaty for the time being, after all, the enemy is still very strong at this time.

Moreover, the war of neighbors and the arms race between Britain and France also gave hope to the mustache. Coupled with Mussolini in Italy, the mustache seemed to see the future situation, and also saw the end of Germany's successive defeats of powerful enemies and the unification of the whole of Europe.

Although Arthur had anticipated such a change, it was impossible not to react and take precautions.

Britain and France are also watching the changes in Germany, and they are also worried about whether the Germans will break through the restrictions and become another serious threat to European stability.

The good news is that the mustache doesn't act too crazy on the surface, which makes Britain and France more reassuring.

The French government was even reassured after the French army even fired provocative demonstrations in the border area, confirming that there was no reaction or threat from the German army.

Both Britain and France did not see any threat to the German Empire, which numbered only 150,000 men and was at odds with the states and the Reich government.

Even with a change of rulers, Britain and France still believed that Germany would not recover in a short time, and their own henchmen were still in trouble with each other.

It was for this reason that, after testing that the Germans had no additional ambitions, the French turned all their attention to the confrontation with the British.

In February, France and Britain announced plans for the construction of their navies.

It is worth mentioning that the war against the United States is over, and logically speaking, the military budgets of various countries should be somewhat smaller than last year.

However, the reality is that the military budgets of Britain and France are getting higher and higher, and there is even a tendency to keep them on par with the previous year.

After the French announced their expansion plan to build 3 dreadnoughts, 5 battle cruisers, 1 aircraft carrier, and 30 small and medium-sized warships, the British soon announced their own shipbuilding plan, and directly doubled it on the basis of the French shipbuilding plan.

Yes, the British's plans to build ships were exaggerated. Over the next five years, Britain will build at least six dreadnoughts, eight battle cruisers, four aircraft carriers, 12 destroyers, 22 frigates and dozens of other small and medium-sized warships.

There were directly twice as many as the French, which also made the French very angry, believing that the British were targeting them.

In retaliation against the British, the French soon announced that they would build 100 submarines and build an Atlantic front connecting the three American republics with France.

The competition between Britain and France has earned enough eyeballs, and these are the two most powerful countries in the world today.

Further down, only Australasia and the island nation can be compared to these two countries.

As for the other powers, there is already enough gap with these four countries. It is precisely because of this huge disparity in power that the European media even divides the great powers into large and small powers.

Knowing that he could not put all his hopes on nuclear weapons, Arthur decided to increase his research on other weapons and prepare for a possible war in advance.

Tanks, airplanes, artillery, rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, medical equipment, transport equipment, communications equipment, and a variety of advanced machinery are all areas that Arthur wants to improve.

Only by achieving world leadership in these weapons will Australasia be confident of winning the next war, and Arthur will be confident of fighting for sufficient benefits for his country and people.

As mentioned earlier, the progress of nuclear weapons research and development has also led to the birth of many advanced technologies, such as the electron microscope technology, which was born only last year.

The working principle of a microscope is very simple, it is to magnify an object a lot, so that you can see details that are not visible to the naked eye.

Electron microscopy is even more exaggerated. Generally speaking, the magnification of ordinary microscopes is tens to hundreds of times, while the magnification of electron microscopes can reach 2000 times.

Thanks to this feature, electron microscopes play an extremely important role in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine and health, and it is also a great achievement that has to be mentioned.

With the advent of electron microscopy, the study of biology became more effective and rapid.

There is even a foresight that electron microscopy can be more effective in the study of various bacteria and viruses, as well as microorganisms such as bacteriophages.

It is extremely important to create a variety of bacteria and viruses by yourself and to guard against bacteria and viruses created by enemies.

Of course, the biggest role is to study the viruses that humans have in themselves, so that more diseases can be treated.

Another aspect is that vitamin C is artificially produced.

Although various vitamin C drugs have become common in later generations, the price of vitamin C products is also very low.

But now, vitamin C is still a relatively new thing.

As early as 100 years ago, those navigators discovered that when sailing long distances, crews often contracted a disease called scurvy.

At that time, there was not much treatment for the disease, and people did not even know what caused it and how to treat it.

Until now, after the research and exploration of a group of organic chemists, the chemical formula of vitamins has been found in various plant samples, and pure vitamin C has been made.

The organic chemist also won last year's Victorian Prize in Medicine for discovering and making vitamin C, and was received by Arthur.

Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the current situation. On some long-distance voyages, it is difficult to ensure that fresh fruit and food are always available, which means that there is a high probability that the crew will suffer from scurvy, which is a lack of vitamin C.

But with the help of vitamin C medicines, both warships and civilian ships do not have to worry about scurvy on long-distance voyages.

After all, you only need to take vitamin C drugs on time, and at least the body will not cause scurvy due to vitamin C deficiency.
