Chapter 765: Dig the foot of the wall by the roots
Hearing that Fermi had chosen to join the study of nuclear weapons, Arthur nodded in satisfaction. But hearing Fermi say that he could go to work now, Arthur said with a slight smile: "
There's no need to be in such a hurry, Academician Fermi. The study of top-secret projects is important, but it is also essential for you and your family to settle in.
Well, I'll give you five days off to settle in Fort St. Arthur's and take your family on a good tour of the city.
After five days, your work officially begins. At that point, you will have much less time to spend with your family because of the confidentiality of your research project.
But rest assured, as long as the project is successful, all the researchers, including you, will be the heroes of Australasia. ”
Hearing Arthur say this, Fermi was no longer reluctant, and nodded to show that he understood.
One of the reasons why Fermi came to Australasia was that Italy's anti-Semitic policy had made Fermi's wife the target of arrest.
It can also be seen from this that Fermi still values his wife and family. The decision to give up his position as a member of the Royal Italian Academy and a professor of physics at the University of Rome to start over in a new country is a testament to their affection.
Looking at Fermi with a grateful face, Arthur also understood that the atmosphere was almost over, so he smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, when you were in Germany, your teacher was the famous physicist Max Born, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fermi was a little puzzled, but quickly replied.
"As far as I know, Mr. Max Born is also Jewish, right?" Arthur got to the point, smiling and asking.
Fermi was not a fool either, and immediately understood Arthur's intentions.
However, Fermi has no objection to this intention. After all, to put it bluntly, Arthur can also help Max Born by doing this, giving him a safer choice.
"That's right, Your Majesty. We had been in correspondence before, and now the teacher has been suspended, and he seems to have thoughts of emigrating abroad. Fermi replied.
Arthur nodded, not far from what he had expected.
You know, there are still a lot of Jews in Europe. But as soon as the dictatorships of Germany and Italy came to power, the persecution of the Jews began.
In fact, the reason why these two countries persecuted the Jews was that the Jewish top brass was absolutely guilty.
But their persecution affected a large number of Jewish civilians, and many prominent Jewish scientists chose to emigrate abroad.
Although Arthur did not have much affection for the Jews, he still wanted to accept this group of Jewish scientists.
The Jewish scientists who emigrated from Germany during this time alone numbered in the hundreds.
Arthur also hopes that through Max Born's network, more German-Jewish scientists can be brought to Australasia.
Anyway, under Arthur's control, the Jews would not have much influence on Australasia.
They are not the dominant ethnic group in Australasia, and the country's finances and assets will not be in their hands.
Arthur would have even been able to exterminate more Jews through German and Italian hands if he wanted to.
Anyway, the two countries are very hostile to Jews, and there is not much difference between killing more and killing less.
"Mr. Fermi, I would like to invite more Jewish scientists to Australasia through you and your teacher, Mr. Max Born." Arthur directly stated his purpose: "
We will guarantee your personal safety and the safety of your property, and we will condemn the cruelty of Germany and Italy against the Jews.
Of course, I would welcome more Jews to Australasia. Australasia's economic environment is relatively stable, and it is still very suitable for investment at present. ”
For the Jews today, their suffering has only just begun. The anti-Semitic policies of Germany and Italy were only recently enacted, and the murder of the Jews would be many years away.
And during this time, it was also a time of massive spillover of Jews and Jewish assets. What Arthur wanted most was the famous Jewish scientists and Jewish assets.
With Arthur in his possession of sufficient military power, the Jews came to Australasia like lambs to the slaughter.
It's just that Arthur won't be so cruel on the surface, and will find a fairly reasonable excuse before doing anything.
The best outcome would be to finally find a land for the Jews to call home, as they have done historically.
It is also possible to deceive a large number of scientists and assets from the Jews by virtue of such conditions.
It is believed that the Jews who lost their homeland were willing to give up a part of their property and population for the sake of their own independent territory.
However, World War II had not yet begun, and Arthur was unsure where to settle the Jews.
This is also the reason why Arthur did not prescribe conditions for the Jews to find a piece of land. After all, conditions cannot be easily promised, and the current stable life is attractive enough for these Jews.
"I'll ask my teacher, but I'm not sure I'll invite him to Australasia." Fermi did not refuse Arthur's request, but he still explained in advance that he was not very sure.
"Of course, Mr. Fermi. All you have to do is inform Mr. Max Born of the conditions of Australasia, and whatever Mr. Max Born chooses, we will accept it.
And all the scientists of Jewish origin who are on the liquidation list of Germany and Italy are on the list we invited.
Mr. Fermi, I'll leave this matter to you. For each scientist you invite to Australasia, you'll be rewarded with $1,000 on behalf of the royal family.
There is no upper limit to this reward, and it depends on how many scientists you can invite, Mr. Fermi. Arthur said with a smile.
$1,000 for a scientist is a bargain for Arthur.
After all, this is a depreciated Australian dollar, but it is actually not that valuable. Even if Fermi were to invite 1,000 scientists from Europe, Arthur would only need to spend $1 million.
Although Fermi and Max Born had a very good relationship, Arthur did not intend to pin all his hopes on Fermi.
After all, there are always scientists who don't know Fermi well, and it is unclear whether Max Born is willing to invite more scientists from Arthur.
In such a situation, the intelligence services and the royal governor for European affairs become very important.
It is inconvenient for diplomatic ambassadors to come forward, after all, it can easily attract the attention of other countries, and it may turn into an incident of large-scale competition for talent.
In such a situation, it is only possible to rely on the intelligence officers to pay attention to European Jewish scientists and then draw them to Australasia as much as possible.
In fact, Arthur's most important talents are people like Max Born who enjoy great prestige in a certain industry and have a very dense and extensive chain of relationships in the scientific research community.
It only takes one Max Born to bring his friends and students to Australasia, which may be more cost-effective than courting several scientists.
In addition, Max Born and his friends and students will work together more tacitly, and when they form a research group, the research project will become more effective and faster.
Moreover, Max Born's teaching ability has been proven in many of his students.
If he is willing to come to Australasia, it means that Australasia's physics industry has one more talent who can train many mainstay physicists.
This is a much more precious resource than an ordinary physicist. After all, physicists can be trained, but this kind of master-level can cultivate more high-level physicists, which is still difficult to cultivate.
There are many talents, but geniuses are hard to find. One genius may bring much more change and innovation to the scientific community than dozens or hundreds of talents.
In order to attract these talents, Arthur can be regarded as open-minded. First of all, anyone who is willing to come to Australasia can get a property worth hundreds of dollars and a car.
Secondly, the cost of the scientist and his family coming to Australasia is the responsibility of the royal family, and the corresponding warship escort can be arranged.
In addition, for these scientists and their families, the Australasian nationality review system will be correspondingly relaxed.
It only takes two or three months of simple assessment to confirm that there is no problem and then you can join the Australasian nationality.
If you come to Australasia with the appropriate research equipment or research results, you can also directly obtain citizenship to recognise the contribution of scientists.
In addition, the annual salary and welfare policies for these scientists are slightly higher than their original positions.
Especially for those who are eligible to join the Royal Academy of Sciences, even if they are just ordinary experts, the minimum salary can reach about 675 Australian dollars, which is already several times that of ordinary people.
The lowest standard salary of the first level of academicians can reach 850 Australian dollars, plus various benefits and financial subsidies, and the final annual income can easily exceed 1,000 Australian dollars.
It's a testament to Arthur and Australasia's emphasis on talent. In Australasia, as long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about income at all.
In particular, these scientific research talents of the Royal Academy of Sciences, their lowest income is several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary people, and the highest income has even exceeded those of those nobles.
The mainstay of the Royal Academy of Sciences is a second-class academician, with a minimum standard annual salary of 1,070 Australian dollars, and a comprehensive annual income of more than 1,500 Australian dollars.
For the top and third-level academicians, the minimum standard annual salary is already more than 10 times the income of ordinary people, that is, 1,500 Australian dollars.
While these incomes don't seem like much, they're just the most basic minimum income. In addition, the rewards and shares received by research projects are also one of the important incomes of these scientists.
There is also a source of income for scientists from part-time jobs at various universities, such as income from working as a professor, income from research topics and projects, etc.
The more famous scientists are often able to make a lot of money from their own research projects.
For example, Diesel, who has made outstanding contributions to the engine, owns 2% of the equity of the engine research laboratory, and the annual income dividends have accumulated as high as seven figures.
Combined with other incomes, Diesel has the potential to become one of the first multi-millionaires in Australasian research.
