Immediately after Australasia's entry into the war, France placed a large number of aircraft orders for Australasia.

There is no way, in the current war in Europe, in addition to the normal consumption of bullets and shells, the consumption of aircraft is very huge.

Before the outbreak of this war, none of the countries of Europe had more than 3,000 aircraft combined.

But now, Germany alone has more than 3,000 aircraft, not to mention Italy, France and the United Kingdom, which also have thousands of aircraft.

Although the exact number of aircraft by country is not known, it is still possible to accumulate close to tens of thousands.

And in the wars that broke out in Europe, only the wars between Germany and France in Belgium and France, crashed double-digit planes every day.

Even, if there is a large-scale encounter between the planes of the two sides, the number of crashed planes could be several times greater.

As for the financial rewards awarded to the Lords, the monetary rewards vary depending on the medal.

There were only three original Australasian medals, namely the Victoria Medal, the Royal Knight and the Australasian National Order.

Even an ordinary pilot, from ignorance to qualification, requires at least several months of training.

Arthur's second request was preconditional.

In fact, it can be seen from the map that although Australasia unified the whole of Oceania, it also completely lost the direction of expansion.

When the war enters a crisis, we can claim more benefits, and it is impossible for Britain and France to disagree. ”

At the same time, Britain and France should ensure that they do not interfere with migration to Australasia for 15 years after the end of the war.

Arthur's purpose was simple, that is, to unite the colonies of Australasia in the Persian Gulf, and to immigrate en masse, and firmly control these areas.

Certain changes have also been made to the award of all medals.

Australasia could influence Siam, i.e., Thailand, northward through the Straits Settlements. Importantly, Siam was adjacent to the British Indian colony, which meant that Australasia could exert influence over India.

If the island nation does not enter the war, Australasia will be given priority to dispose of the equipment of German and Italian military factories and heavy industry enterprises.

But if the Straits Settlements were acquired by the British, it opened a gap for Australasia to continue its northward expansion.

With the advent of the war, Arthur also officially announced the cancellation of this year's cabinet elections, and the Australasian government entered a wartime state.

"Perhaps." Still smiling, Arthur did not refute William's point of view, but continued to ask, "Do you think we can get these two colonies from Britain and France now?"

If the island nation enters the war, the focus of Australasia's offensive will become defeating the island nation. Of course, while attacking the island nation, the number of Australasian expeditionary forces in Europe will remain at around 600,000.

In this regard, Oman has invisibly weakened the threat to India. The British were very relieved about this, and agreed more simply.

Although Oman and India are separated by the sea, Oman, which includes the entire Persian Gulf territory of Australasia, is also surrounded by British colonies.

But if Australasia can exert influence on India, and even threaten British rule in India, it will be time for the British to begin to fully guard against Australasia, and even turn against it.

In addition to carrying out normal reconnaissance missions, a large number of reconnaissance planes also need to take into account the search and rescue and transfer of the crashed pilot.

It doesn't matter if the plane is broken, the pilot can still drive it as usual with another plane. But if the pilot is gone, it is very difficult to train a good pilot.

Since there was only one claim for land, Oman, and without claiming the Italian colonies, the British agreed to Australasia's claim.

After all, in addition to its geographical location, Oman's oil reserves are not high.

As for the post-war benefit treatment and compensation, Australasia only needs to get its share.

Coupled with the fact that the land is sparsely populated and desert everywhere, the economic value is not so high, and the British do not pay much attention to it.

Moreover, once we have acquired these two colonies, it means that we have succeeded in attracting the defense of Britain and France, and thus lose the opportunity to gain greater benefits in the war.

The Victorian Medal and the Arthur the Great, which are the most difficult medals, can be awarded around $12,000 in a one-off financial award, and a substantial annual subsidy from local governments can be received.

The Straits Settlements represented absolute control over the Strait of Malacca, while Madagascar represented influence over the Indian Ocean.

William was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a long time, and then said: "The Straits Settlements and Madagascar? ”

The Australasian Government has a duty and obligation to protect every medal awarded, whether or not it is of Australasian nationality.

Comprehensive decorations include: the Victoria Memorial Medal and the Order of Arthur the Great

Needless to say, of the nine medals, the most difficult to obtain are the Victoria Memorial Medal and the Order of Arthur the Great.

If it falls in an area controlled by one's own side, the safety of the pilot can still be guaranteed. However, if it falls in an area controlled by the enemy, it is likely that the pilot will be captured or killed.

In order to increase the support and expectations of the people and the army for the war, the Australasian government, under Arthur's direction, announced the reform of the original medal and issued a new one.

As long as the medal is still there, and it can be proved that the medal was indeed officially awarded by the government, it can be subsidized annually for an indefinite period of time.

Anyone who has received any of the Australasian medals is called Lord of Honor.

You must know that the subsidy for any medal, the subsidy time is permanent. This also means that as long as you get any medal, you and your children and descendants can rely on this medal to receive a subsidy from the local government that matches the medal.

If, at the outset, we had set our sights on Germany and Italy and the island nations, the British and French defenses would not have been so drastic.

A small population means good management, and it also means that Australasia can easily and firmly control these areas after moving these populations in the future.

However, the war has become the way it is now, and countries are not too distressed about the crash of the plane. Countries pay more attention to the survival of the pilots who flew the planes after the crash than the planes.

Lord is not a title of nobility and can be obtained by anyone worldwide.

In other words, as long as you receive the Victoria Medal or the Order of Arthur the Great, you can receive a one-time reward of 12,000 Australian dollars, and you can also get a local per capita annual income level subsidy every year.

The Persian Gulf Territory, which Australasia occupies, including Oman, has a small Arab population.

But the current war in Europe is clearly not going to give countries such a long time to train pilots. Therefore, the air forces of various countries have also formed an agreement that is already on the surface, that is, the importance of pilots is far greater than that of aircraft.

In order to make Britain and France go all out against Germany and Italy, and not to be too defensive of himself, Arthur can be regarded as having made a lot of effort.

After defeating the island nation, Australasia has full authority over the island nation. If Russia took the opportunity to attack the island nation, Britain and France should support Australasia's full authority over the island state.

Following the reform of the medals, the number of medals has increased significantly.

The amount of the subsidy depends on the fiscal revenue of the locality, and the minimum is 100% of the local per capita annual income.

Moreover, through Madagascar, Australasia could expand its influence into Africa, which would be very helpful for Australasia's post-war world hegemony strategy.

As for how much to take, it depends on the strength that each country retains after the war and the actual dedication during the war.

What does a lord do? First of all, any lord is a person who has made outstanding contributions to Australasia.

The Lord's children will receive free education up to high school and will be given priority admission to the University.

Secondly, if the Lord is an Australasian national, he will receive all the benefits and policy support, including education and health care.

Purely military decorations include: Royal Knight, Silver Cross and Imperial Order.

In terms of territory, Arthur directly stated that he had no interest in the two major Italian colonies. But Arthur demanded that the British colony in Oman be exchanged for the British colony in Oman on the premise of supporting the complete annexation of the Italian colony by Britain and France.

Arthur's requirements are not harsh, and can be roughly divided into two categories: territorial and economic.

At the royal palace, Arthur was asked by William a question that many countries were curious about: what made Australasia choose to declare war on Germany and Italy?

Arthur smiled and asked William, "What do you think is enough for us to declare war?" ”

To the north is the British Straits Settlements, with vast oceans to the east and west. Even in North America, the neighbors are powerful powers like the Commonwealth and Russia.

After all, the sun never sets, the empire's greatest reliance is India. Once India is lost, the British Empire's throne as world hegemon is not so secure.

With the Straits Settlements, the British could be at ease with Australasia for the time being. As long as India is not threatened, Britain and Australasia are firm allies.

Medals for scientific research include: the Order of Science and the Order of National Contribution

Civilian-facing medals include: the Australasian National Medal and the Order of the Patriot

The first person who receives the medal will receive a completely new title, which is Lord.

Coupled with the one-time reward that can be obtained when receiving the medal, it can ensure that anyone who receives the medal can improve their financial situation extremely effectively.

The second more, ask for support!
