Chapter 505 The influx of Russian capital
The distribution of military spending in Australasia is fought over by the defense sector at cabinet meetings and then allocated to the three services. new
The General Staff does not have the financial power of the military, so it is still very difficult to rely on military power to do things.
Such a structure would also be more stable, ensuring that Australasia's military power could be balanced between the two institutions and would not threaten Arthur's monarchy.
Arthur's first request for the reorganized Ministry of Defense is to increase investment in the navy and create a smaller fleet to protect Australasia's coastal defense security.
There is no conflict between the Navy's small fleet and the Coast Guard's patrols. After all, most of the Navy's fleets are small warships of hundreds or even thousands of tons, while most of the Coast Guard's patrols are only dozens of tons to hundreds of tons. patrol boat.
The army's military expenditures are fixed after the expansion. After all, without war, there will not be much consumption. The cost of training becomes the bulk of the army.
The Air Force and the Army are actually similar. In addition, the next aircraft technology needs to undergo major changes, and it does not seem cost-effective to equip aircraft on a large scale.
Under the influence of various conditions, large-scale naval construction is currently the most cost-effective. If there were no naval restrictions, now would be Australasia's best opportunity to build a navy.
Great development and construction in Australasia has officially begun as the tone for the four-year construction plan was set at a cabinet meeting.
With the official announcement of Australasia's first four-year plan, it immediately attracted the attention of many media and people at home and abroad.
In fact, this is normal. After all, there are not many countries in the world that are developing with such great fanfare.
Britain and France are still licking their wounds, and the Americans' reputation has been damaged, so they naturally dare not make a big splash. The Russians were busy with the civil war, and the Italians were obsessed with winning the war.
The Germans who are interested in development will not make any noise in a short time due to the suppression of the Allied Powers.
In this way, the development of Australasia will become unique. In particular, this four-year construction plan is relatively large. The external bidding for various constructions and the Leonora Industrial Base's external investment attraction have attracted the attention of many foreign consortiums and capital.

Among the many foreign consortiums, capital from Russia is worth noting.
Yes, it is the Russia that suffered from civil war and lost most of its industrial level.
The Russian government is poor, what does it have to do with Russian capital? This is the current situation of Russian capital.
Hundreds of years of accumulation in Tsarist Russia have given many big nobles and big capitalists in Russia considerable capital.
The civil war in Russia caused these capitals to lose a lot of industries, and they couldn't help but look abroad. After all, Russia is not peaceful at home and is not suitable for industry.
Among many countries, the high-profile development of Australasia has attracted the attention of these Russian capitals.
What attracts them more is that there are millions of Russian people in Australasia. As the capitalist class that has exploited these people for hundreds of years, Russian capital also knows that the benefits of these Russian people are that they are hardworking and able to withstand a wider range of exploitation.
Of course, in addition to this, Australasia's relatively excellent environment has also attracted the attention of these capitals.
Compared with the United States, whose reputation has been tarnished, Australasia seems to have greater development potential. The last war also proved that large-scale wars do not seem to affect the mainland of Australasia. Isn't such a country that can guarantee peace exactly what these Russian capitals want?
After Australasia launched an open tender, a large amount of Russian capital began to pour in. They also longed for a stable investment environment like Australasia, not like Russia, where any war would wipe out their hard work. The horror of hell.
In fact, capitalists are changeable. On the one hand, the capitalists collude with government officials and businessmen in their home base to oppress civilians and poor people in various ways, making full use of the word "exploitation".
On the other hand, when capitalists go to other places, they are eager to go to places with relatively clear and clear government.
This is actually easy to explain. After all, capitalists who collude with the government and the officialdom are the most powerful. Pure capitalists are fragile to a national government machine and can be controlled with just one hand.
Under such circumstances, these capitalists who have come from afar hope that the areas they are going to have a relatively fair political environment and can fairly protect their interests, rather than colluding with local capitalists to swallow them up. new
Australasia obviously meets their requirements. First of all, Australasia also has a considerable number of Russian people, and everyone can be regarded as one of their own.
Secondly, the political environment in Australasia is also fair. After all, it is a country of immigrants, and there is no rejection of foreign nationalities and capital.
In addition, the Australasian royal family is related by marriage to the original Russian royal family, which attracted many original Russian nobles.
After all, if they were in Australasia, their noble status would even be guaranteed. At least the Australasian royal family will recognize their status as Russian nobles, even if they have gone abroad and their power and status in Russia have long disappeared.
If you go to a republic like the United States, although capital still has a lot of power, the identity of the aristocracy disappears.
It is for one reason or another that after the announcement of Australia's four-year construction plan, Russian capital poured in very quickly.
These capitals generally choose to build or acquire some industries, and they pour into various industries, including heavy industry, chemical industry, light industry and some food industries.
New π±.ππ¨π¦
Among them, there are not a few Russian capitals that choose the light industry and food industry.
This is actually easy to understand. After all, these Russian capitals still have some power and connections in Russia.
Setting up factories in Australasia, producing a large amount of light industrial products and food, and then selling them to Russia at high prices, wouldn't this create a huge income?
Although it will create a large amount of tax revenue for the Australasian government, these capitalists will also make some profits, and their profits are almost guaranteed.
You know, the civil war in Russia has a huge impact on Russia's domestic environment. This impact is not only on industry and economy, but also on agriculture and animal husbandry.
Russia's food production has dropped by less than half compared with before the civil war, which has threatened the food needs of the Russian people.
Because at the request of the British Empire, all members of the World Alliance signed a treaty prohibiting trade with Soviet Russia.
This allowed Soviet Russia to fully establish a centralized distribution system of materials to ensure that the vast majority of people had some food to eat.
Although it won't completely fill your stomach, it can still avoid starving to death, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
Tsarist Russia was naturally not within the scope of the trade restrictions proposed by Britain. Tsarist Russia has grain trade treaties with many European countries and Australasia. Grain exports alone are enough for these Russian capitalists to make a lot of money.
Arthur still welcomes the influx of Russian capital, after all, they can promote the rapid development of Australasian industry and all walks of life.
These people may not be of the same mind as the Australasian government, but if their industries are established in Australasia, they will be controlled by the Australasian government.
Especially when Russia was suffering from the effects of civil war, these Russian capitalists had no one to protect them.
If they were obedient, Arthur would certainly be willing to treat them as local businesses.
If these Russian capitalists are disobedient, they will know how powerful the royal consortium is and can quickly annex the enterprises established by these Russian capitalists in a short period of time, causing their investments to be wasted.
I believe these capitalists are still smart. After all, no one will have trouble with money, and no one is willing to hand over the investment they have worked so hard to create to others.
You know, all these capitalists invest in Australasia are real industries.
However, heavy industry, light industry, chemical industry or food industry all have a considerable stimulating effect on the Australasian economy.
What can be expected is that with the addition of these Russian capitals, this year's economic growth should not be small.
And this year is just the beginning. In the next few years, these Russian capitals will play a vital role in Australia's economic growth.
With the addition of these Russian capitals, the economic performance mentioned in the four-year plan by Prime Minister Trump is even expected to be exceeded every year.
In order to show the importance he attached to these Russian capitals, Arthur also personally received a Russian nobleman.
This is a count from Russia. He is not in the core decision-making level of Tsarist Russia, but he still has considerable influence on capital.
Arthur's interview also greatly increased the confidence of Russian capital. After all, everyone knew that Arthur's opinion was still very important in Australasia.
Although Arthur personally met with some Russian capital, this did not mean that officials could contact these capitalists at will.
Arthur has a very clear view of capitalists. No matter which country they are, most capitalists are not good people.
Therefore, Australasia has never had any provisions for preferential treatment of capitalists, and even taxes on some industries are relatively heavy, just to limit the scale and number of capitalists.
For Australasians, becoming an aristocrat is a better choice than becoming a capitalist.
After all, the nobility is the class that the government gives great priority to. Not only will they enjoy some tax exemptions, but they are also an example for the entire country to follow as advocated by Arthur.
After all, compared to the capitalists, these nobles with less power would unite closely around Arthur to stabilize the Australasian monarchy and ensure their status at the same time.
Any preferential treatment and power status they have comes from Arthur, which also means that they must be loyal to Arthur. After all, their rights and status will only exist if Arthur exists.
This situation definitely does not only occur during Arthur's reign, including the future monarch of Australasia, who still controls the fate of these new nobles.
The new nobles are the best sword in the hands of every monarch in Australasia. These new nobles can run for the monarch in any direction, including military, economic and political.
The aristocratic school advocated by Arthur was to cultivate the descendants of these new aristocrats and ensure that the descendants of the aristocrats were not wastes so that they could better serve Arthur and the future Australasian monarch.
