The shipbuilding plan had the support of Prime Minister Raul, and it was no problem for it to be approved by the cabinet.

Eventually, the shipbuilding plan was submitted to Arthur's desk, and Arthur was successfully approved.

On April 1, 1931, Australasia officially announced its own shipbuilding plan that began in 1932 for a period of five years.

The shipbuilding program quickly attracted the attention of countries around the world and was considered a direct response to the island nation.

There is no way, at present, there are only these two powers on the Pacific coast, and the naval arms competition between these two countries has naturally attracted the attention of many countries.

The island's reaction to this was not a concern to Arthur, as Australasia's first television expo was imminent.

If the TV is well promoted, it will definitely bring a lot of gains to Australasia.

The television-related industry and the television shooting industry alone can bring hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to Australasia's economic industry.

Moreover, the cultural output ability of the TV set is what Arthur really values.

Relying on a large number of TV dramas about the Australasian nation, Arthur was even confident that he would complete the shaping of the Australasian national concept more than a decade earlier.

This is vital to national cohesion and cohesion, and will also take Australasia's overall national strength to the next level.

The TV Expo is expected to be held in mid-April, about half a month later.

In order to hold this expo well, Australasia also attaches great importance to it.

In addition to inviting large capitals from all over the world, we also borrowed the large venue of the National Stadium and urgently built a TV tower that could operate stably.

What's more, with Baird's help, several studios have begun to turn their films into airwave signals that television sets can receive, so that they can be broadcast at future TV expos.

There are currently more than ten films that have successfully transformed, and all on different channels. At present, the test has begun, and we strive to enable domestic and foreign capital to achieve smooth TV replacement and stable broadcast at the TV Expo.

Arthur knew that as long as he could do this, the TV would not be sold.

Along with the construction of the TV tower and the conversion of radio signals, Australasia can make an extra profit.

In addition to inviting domestic and foreign capital, this TV Expo is actually open to the domestic public.

Of course, because the venue can't accommodate too many people, it can only accommodate up to 2,000 people at the same time.

Of course, in order to sell television sets in the future, the expo will be extended by a week to show the people of the country what they can do.

It is believed that after this TV Expo, Baird's TV company will be able to receive a large number of orders.

13 April 1931, Sydney, Australasia.

"Vaal, have you heard? What kind of TV exposition will be held at the National Stadium in two days, it is said that His Majesty personally organized it! In a café on the streets of Sydney, a teenager dressed as a worker said mysteriously to his friends.

"TV Expo? Personally organized by His Majesty? Before the teenager's friend could answer, the group of people chatting at the table next to him instantly fell silent, and someone asked impatiently.

"This..." Seeing that the news was accidentally leaked by himself, the boy could only say truthfully: "Yes, the venue is the National Stadium in the suburbs."

It is said that it is to promote TV dramas that can be shown in movies, and many domestic and foreign companies and capitalists will participate in the event. ”

"Since it was organized by His Majesty himself, will His Majesty show up then?" The crowd asked the questions they were most interested in.

"I don't know, but if the scale of the expo is relatively large, His Majesty may show up." The boy thought for a moment and gave an indefinite answer.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the appeal of Arthur's personal involvement to the Australasian people.

Hearing the topic of Arthur, everyone in the entire café instantly gathered around, and the boy became the protagonist of the café for a while.

"So when exactly was the expo held? Is there an exact time? A middle-aged man in a suit suddenly asked.

"Just three days later, on the 16th of this month." The boy replied honestly.

In fact, logically speaking, the holding of the expo should be public news, and most Sydney people should get the news.

However, due to the limited space, the government was worried that too many people would go to the expo and cause congestion, so it postponed the spread of the news.

At present, there are only three days before the expo will be held, and the government has announced the announcement of the expo around the stadium.

Because it didn't take long, the boy was the first person to see the news, which led to the news blockage of most of the people in the café.

In two days, most Sydneysiders will know about the fair.

After getting the specific time and place, the crowd in the café left very satisfied, even abandoning the coffee they had just ordered and had not yet taken a sip.

They were excited to pass on this momentous news to their friends and family.

For most Australasian people, Arthur's activities are the most important activities to attend, and where Arthur is there, they want to go.

In the past few decades, their feelings for Arthur have long since changed from recognition to admiration, from love to fanaticism.

Especially because of the common people who benefited from Arthur's subsidy and welfare policies, their love for Arthur had reached its peak, and the fanaticism for Arthur's rule had reached a frenzy.

It is precisely with the support of these people that Arthur's throne is extremely stable, and no individual or force can shake it.

For such a situation, the European media also sincerely praised: "Other monarchs can command their own armies, but His Majesty Arthur can command the people of the whole country."

When a country is cohesively cohesive from the bottom up, the country's war potential is the most terrifying. ”

According to the world's media, including the Australasian press, Arthur has become widely regarded as the greatest monarch of the early 20th century, and has been voted the most influential man in the world during the three decades from 1900 to 1930.

It can be said that in terms of popular love and recognition, Arthur has achieved more achievements than his contemporaries Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II, Austrian Emperor Franz, British Kings Edward VII and George V, and other figures.

What Arthur didn't expect was that because of a number of accidents like cafes, the news of the TV Expo quickly spread throughout Sydney.

What kind of crazy scene did it create?

The announcement of the TV Expo was April 13, and the next day, the National Stadium was filled with curious and expectant crowds.

As a direct result, the roads around the stadium were surrounded by water, and traffic was directly paralyzed.

There was no choice but to urgently organize a large number of police officers to maintain order around the stadium and evacuate traffic on the surrounding roads.

At the same time, the City of Sydney has adopted the form of radio announcements and document notices to advise people to stay at home and not to affect the traffic around the stadium.

After the emergency treatment of the City of Sydney, the roads around the National Stadium finally resumed normal traffic before the official time for the TV Expo on April 16.

It was also on this day that the TV Expo was officially held, and Arthur was also present at the ceremony.

Of course, Arthur's appearance was brief, even only a few minutes.

After welcoming the capital from home and abroad, Arthur hurriedly left the expo site.

After all, if Arthur stayed at the scene, it would be a kind of interference in the order of the exposition site.

Of course, when leaving, Arthur did not forget to wave to the crowd gathered around the fairgrounds.

Such an act was met with a feverish response from the public, who cheered from the bottom of their hearts throughout Sydney.

Under the backdrop of the people's atmosphere, the TV Expo was held very smoothly.

On the third day, Baird reported to Arthur with a smile on his face the results of the entire TV Expo.

The first is about the technical sales of television sets. Australasia alone is unlikely to eat the world's television market, after all, the world is too big, and governments will definitely favor their own capital.

Instead of waiting for the capital of other countries to develop their TV sets, it is better to make a fortune from them before the TV research and development of various countries is completed.

With this in mind, Baird cooperated with the major powers, including Britain and France, as well as with European countries.

Television technology is sold in a package that includes television manufacturing technology, radio wave conversion and reception technology, and TV tower construction technology, among others, for $35 million.

This price is indeed not high, after all, whether it is the sale of TV sets or the shooting and sales of TV series, the market behind it is far more than 35 million Australian dollars.

Because of this, Baird quickly reached cooperation with more than a dozen European capitals, including a small amount of American capital, and sold a total of 17 TV related technology and patent rights.

It stands to reason that the price of 17 related technologies should be as high as $595 million.

Although the domestic and foreign capital is very strong, 35 million Australian dollars is not a small number after all.

The currency has depreciated, but it has not depreciated to a rather exaggerated figure. The current $35 million is also close to half a year's fiscal revenue for a medium-sized country, and it is also a huge amount of money that is difficult for large capital.

But it's not without a solution. If you can't scrape together $35 million, you can convert it into shares in a new TV company.

In other words, the capital pledged a portion of its shares to Baird Television in exchange for a full set of technology related to televisions.

Once they have made the money, they can choose to buy back the shares at the market price, or they can simply make Baird Television Company one of their shareholders.

Although companies all over the world have been devastated by the economic crisis, these large capitals have not been as broken as imagined.

Their market capitalization is still very high, and it is not a loss at all in exchange for their shares. Moreover, most of these capitals are headquartered in Europe. If World War II breaks out in the future, they will inevitably be greatly affected.

In other words, it can also be seen as Arthur's property loss. When the war is over in the future, you can rely on these property losses to claim more benefits.

In the end, the sale of TV-related technology brought Baird about $225 million in revenue.

While it may seem like a lot, the money is not paid in a lump sum. According to the agreement reached between Baird and the other party, in 1931, Baird will receive up to 75 million Australian dollars.

For the next three years, Baird will receive $50 million a year until the consortiums pay their arrears.

This amounts to $150 million in capital that is temporarily owed to Baird. For this large debt, neither Arthur nor Baird was too worried.

After all, to put it bluntly, behind Baird Company is Arthur's royal consortium and the whole of Australasia, which other consortiums also understand.

If you want to rely on Arthur's account, you have to consider whether your own country is an adversary to Australasia, and whether their country will risk war with Australasia to keep their company.

The inviolability of the majesty of the royal family and the state is a basic principle that a country must abide by if it wants to maintain its external status.

Especially for a strong country, its own identity and status must be maintained by itself.

If the dignity of a strong country can be wantonly trampled on by a weak country, then can this strong country still be considered a strong country?

If there is a country that wantonly challenges the majesty of Arthur and Australasia, Arthur will make the country understand why this era is the age of the jungle.

Rather than diplomatic protests without any lethal power, Arthur felt that real wars would make the weaker countries understand who was the strongest.

Especially to deal with some enemies who are more jumpy, only if they really hurt them, can they understand the truth that the tiger's ass can't be touched.

Based on Baird's actual shares, Arthur was able to receive $220.5 million of the total $225 million sold.

The main force in the development of televisions, Baird, the actual controller of Baird Company, can also earn up to 4.5 million Australian dollars.

Although it is nowhere near as good as the $220.5 million that Arthur received, he still has more than $3 million in income after tax, which is already very satisfying for Baird.

$3 million is not a small number. At the current level of per capita annual income, 3 million Australian dollars would take an average Australasian to save for 20,000 years without eating or drinking.
