Chapter 247 Royal Military Academy starts
It is worth mentioning that after more than half a year of preparation, the Royal Military Academy finally opened on January 1. New π°πΌπΊ
Although the opening time of the Royal Military Academy is different from that of other universities because the construction of the school has slowed down the progress, the different opening times can also distinguish the difference between ordinary universities and military academies.
The enrollment of the first Royal Military Academy was very strict. In addition to the soldiers admitted from the army, the first external enrollment of the Royal Military Academy was less than 100 people.
The specific requirements are very stringent. Not only must all their family members have lived in Australasia for fifteen years (those under 15 years old need to have lived in Australasia for eight years, those under eight years old will not be counted), but also all family members must not violate any laws during their stay. , has no close relationship with any foreign forces or individuals.
This is a simple background requirement. In addition to these, there are also some requirements in terms of physical fitness, intelligence, eloquence, etc., and the academic qualifications should be at least a high school level.
This is also the reason why more than 2,000 people applied for the Royal Military Academy, but in the end only less than 100 people were admitted from outside.
The conditions for recruiting students from the military are somewhat looser, but they must have served in the military for one year, and there are also requirements in terms of physical fitness, combat ability, IQ, and loyalty.
Soldiers in the army basically do not need to check their backgrounds. After all, their backgrounds have already been checked when they were recruited.
The reason why the Royal Military College is so strict in recruiting students is because graduates of the Royal Military College will basically become officers of the Australasian Army.
According to the rules and regulations of the military academy, a foreign-recruited student who successfully graduates from the Royal Military Academy will be at the lowest rank of second lieutenant after joining the army. If he performs well, he may even become a lieutenant or captain.
As for the students selected from the army, their initial military rank is usually non-commissioned officers or even lieutenants. new
After graduation, their military ranks will generally be promoted by two to three levels, and they can basically reach lieutenant or captain.
As for school officers above lieutenants, these ordinary graduates of the Royal Military Academy cannot get involved.
If a lieutenant officer is a mid-level officer, then a colonel officer has reached the level of a senior officer, which requires not only talent but also seniority in the army.
The fact that graduates of these military academies can reach the rank of colonel within ten years, even if they are only in the rank of major, is enough to prove their great potential. Of course, it would be a different story if a large-scale war breaks out.
The enrollment of the aviation academy is not included in the military academy, because the aviation academy has the foundation of the previous aviation research laboratory training class and has already started enrollment.
At present, there are about 400 students in the Aviation College, and the number of students enrolled every year is about 400.
This also means that nearly 400 pilots are born in Australasia every year, which is very beneficial to the future expansion of the Australasian Air Force.
In order to build the Royal Military Academy, more than 2 million Australian dollars of the 5 million Australian dollars in school construction funds were used to attract professors and retired generals from European military colleges, allowing them to increase and fill the military academy's foundation.
At present, with the foundation of the Royal Military College, the mid-level officer vacancy problem that Australasia has been worried about can be alleviated.
As the honorary principal of the Royal Military Academy, Arthur, coupled with Arthur's high popularity and support among the people, can fully guarantee that these students who graduated from the Royal Military Academy will have a good impression of the royal family and Arthur, which is equivalent to being aboveboard. Cultivate talents who are true to themselves.
It is worth mentioning that most professors at the Army Academy of the Royal Military College are hired from Germany, while most professors at the Naval Academy are hired from the United Kingdom.
In addition to the establishment of the Royal Military College, technical schools in Australasia also experienced a spurt of growth. new
There are only three technical schools in Asia, and they are all located in Australia.
A year later, the number of technical schools in Las Vegas had increased to seven, and two new technical schools were added in New Zealand.
These seven technical schools can train more than 5,000 outstanding technical talents in Australasia every year, filling vacancies for some technical positions in major factories.
Arthur has only one requirement for these technical schools, and that is, the more the better, the bigger the better.
When it comes to outstanding technical talents, Australasia naturally does not have too many. It can train as many as it needs and as many as it can train.
Talents trained by these technical schools are often attracted to major factories by various salary packages when they first graduate.
No way, the current number of factories in Australasia has led to a growing demand for such technical positions. Even those who have graduated from technical schools do not have to worry about jobs at all.
The final report is from the finance department, and the data reported are also the data that all ministers are concerned about.
New π²π΅Book Barβπ²π΅ππ΅ππ .π°πΌπΊ
There is no way, the revenue and expenditure of the Ministry of Finance also determines the budget situation of various departments in the next year. If the fiscal losses last year were serious, the budgets of various departments will definitely be reduced next year.
Fortunately, Finance Minister Roger has good news for everyone.
1. The total fiscal expenditure of the Kingdom of Asia is approximately 28.41 million Australian dollars, and the total fiscal revenue is approximately 36.22 million Australian dollars. Not only has it achieved a fiscal surplus, but the fiscal surplus figure is as high as 7.8 million Australian dollars. Ten thousand Australian dollars.
On the premise of continuing to carry out large-scale industrial construction, Australasia's fiscal expenditure has not changed much and remains at a level of around 30 million Australian dollars.
The growth in fiscal revenue is huge, from just over 20 million to more than 36 million.
This includes taxes from the arms trade and dreadnought orders, as well as taxes from the Benz Automobile Factory and the royal consortium, which contributed at least 10 million Australian dollars.
It is worth mentioning that according to the Australasian constitution, the Australasian royal family can obtain 1% of the total government revenue as royal funds every year for the expenses of the royal family and the palace.
And 1 is as high as 360,000 Australian dollars. Although it is only a small income for Arthur, it is a huge fortune for the common people.
If Australasia's finances continue to develop so smoothly, even if the royal family has little income, Arthur believes that 1% of the annual government revenue will be enough to support the entire royal family.
Thanks to this year's fiscal surplus, Australasia's available fiscal funds are now increasing instead of decreasing, returning to more than A$240 million.
But it is a pity that in the new year, Australasia's five-year shipbuilding plan will officially begin.
This is a large capital investment, and it is hard to say whether this year's fiscal year will continue to be in surplus.
Another major reason for maintaining high fiscal growth is the growth of the livestock industry. After the country gradually stabilized, Australasia also gradually showed the characteristics of a large animal husbandry country, that is, there are many products related to animal husbandry.
Products including beef and mutton, wool, milk, goat milk and other products are exported to major regions in Europe and the United States, and are a major source of fiscal revenue for the Australasian government.
To date, Australasia has more than 170 million sheep, as well as tens of millions of cattle and various livestock.
What an exaggerated number this is? Each Australasian was allocated nearly twenty-four sheep and seven cattle, and one other livestock.
It is precisely because of such a developed livestock industry that the prices of livestock products in Australasia are very low, and even beef and mutton are standard on most Australasian people's tables.
Especially in the military and schools in Australasia, it has become a tradition to have meat in every meal.
The school district also provides cow and goat milk in the morning to supplement students' nutrition.
Australasia's largest private livestock farmers currently own vast tracts of grassland and mountain land, as well as tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.
These cattle and sheep can bring them thousands of Australian dollars in income every year. Even if an entire family is divided equally, each person can earn hundreds of Australian dollars in income, far exceeding the current per capita income level in Australasia.
Arthur's royal consortium, of course, also joined the livestock industry and owned large and small pastures and cattle and sheep numbers in various states.
Together, these pastures have at least one million cattle and sheep. The wool, cattle and sheep milk, and meat products produced every year are all sent to the palace with high quality, and the rest are basically sold abroad.
It is worth mentioning that Arthur also owns two large ranches dedicated to raising Australian wild horses.
This is a tall horse suitable for use as a military horse. It is this Australian wild horse currently used by the cavalry units in Australasia.
Arthur's two ranches collectively raised more than 100,000 Australian wild horses and could quickly arm at least three cavalry divisions.
But Arthur is actually not too fond of cavalry troops. If possible, Australasia can convert cavalry units into motorized units or even mechanized units in advance. This is why Australasia does not have an independent cavalry division.
Arthur is waiting for the future when the practicality of trucks improves, and the complete armed forces will form mechanized divisions.
And after the birth of tanks and automatic artillery in the future, various tank divisions and artillery units will be the mainstream of the future army.
