Chapter 636 Whether to move the capital or not

Representatives from various countries stayed for about a week. During this week, they also signed some cooperation agreements with each other, which made the representatives from various countries leave with smiles on their faces. ▲𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑔𝑙𝑒 Search for 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑚Read▲

Naturally, it was Arthur and Australasia who reaped the rewards. There are two pieces of good news for Arthur. One is to deepen immigration cooperation with the United Kingdom, and the other is to allow the British to recognize their dominance in the Philippines and the Emirate of Kalimantan.

After all, the Emirate of Kalimantan is close to the British Straits Settlements, and it is very necessary to distribute interests with the British to avoid conflicts between the two regions and jeopardize the relationship between the United Kingdom and Australasia in the two regions.

After seeing off the representatives from various countries, Australasia held a cabinet meeting, first to summarize, and secondly to discuss when to move to St. Arthur's Castle, ending the long journey of moving the capital.

No matter what the world situation is like, Australia's development is relatively smooth. Although it was in 1 colony, it did not incur much military expenditure and did not cause too many casualties.

1. The GDP of Greater Latin America exceeded AU$07.2 billion, and the growth rate was also a record-breaking 15%.

The reason why the economy is growing so rapidly is not only the opening up of two major markets, but also the actual changes that the previously planned construction has brought to people's lives.

The Second Four-Year Plan has been implemented for some time now, and the results achieved are also an important reason for promoting economic growth.

Due to the impact of the Four-Year Plan, the total steel and iron production in 1 Greater Asia reached 20,000 tons and 30,000 tons respectively. The total production not only exceeded 10 million tons, but was even infinitely close to 11 million tons.

Although it is not as good as the United States, it is not weak among the major powers. At least for the population of Australasia, this level of industry is already considered strong.

Although it cost millions of Australian dollars to hold the 20th anniversary of the National Day, compared with the improvement of Australasia's international status brought by the military parade, this small cost is undoubtedly worth it.

What's more, with a total fiscal revenue of 1 Australian dollar, the government will not care about the expenditure of millions of Australian dollars.

While the total fiscal revenue reached a new high, it also ushered in growth, and it made no difference when it reached 1.0 yuan.

The good news is that even under such circumstances, the government has maintained a fiscal surplus of close to 30 million, which means that Australasia's financial situation is very good, and various constructions can no longer bring a greater burden to the finance.

People's income is growing, although the Australian dollar has also become more valuable despite the depreciation of currencies in various countries.

However, the fact that various countries have begun to devalue their currencies is also a cause for alarm. If Arthur remembers correctly, a few years after countries began to devalue their currencies, an economic crisis that could change the world structure broke out.

What is the reason that makes countries take the initiative to start devaluing their currencies? It is nothing more than that the current situation of various countries can no longer support the gold standard, and it is necessary to achieve alternative economic prosperity through currency devaluation.

Among them, the currency that has depreciated the most is France. The current value preservation of the franc is no longer half of what it was five years ago, and the degree of depreciation is extremely exaggerated.

What can currency devaluation bring?

The most obvious thing is the decrease in imports and the continuous growth in exports. Exports of industrial products set new records, making France's economy appear to have regained its pre-war prosperity.

But in fact, such economic prosperity comes at the expense of currency depreciation. France's economy is not that stable. The rise in prices caused by inflation makes the life of the French not so good.

We have to admit that currency devaluation can indeed sustain economic growth and prosperity for a period of time, and it is also the real reason why countries began to depreciate their currencies during this period in history.

More importantly, currency devaluation can bring economic prosperity. If you don't make adjustments, you will only suffer.

Arthur has asked people to pay close attention to the depreciation of European currencies and try to keep the exchange ratio of the Australian dollar and the British pound unchanged at 2:1.

The pound's status at this time is still relatively strong. Coupled with the British Empire's world-leading influence, it is destined not to depreciate much.

Other currencies such as the U.S. dollar, franc, etc. cannot pose a threat to the status of the pound for the time being. Even if the U.S. economy is the first in the world, it still cannot promote the globalization of the U.S. dollar.

At the end of the government's cabinet meeting on January 1, the topic of whether to relocate to St. Arthur's Castle quickly came up.

Whether to relocate is a question that already has an answer. As the future capital of Australasia, St. Arthur's Castle is destined to be relocated.

But the question is, when to move and how long will it take to move? These are all worth pondering and thinking about.

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Roger stood up first and said very simply and firmly: "I think it is time to move our capital to St. Arthur's Castle. The construction of St. Arthur's Castle has been completed, and the National Day event was successfully held. It also made St. Arthur's Castle famous to the outside world.

I think this is our best opportunity to move the capital. We should move quickly and make St. Arthur's Castle truly our new capital before the middle of this year. "

As the Prime Minister of the government, Prime Minister Roger has too many things to think about.

First of all, in order to stabilize his position, it is best to relocate the capital during his term. Prime Minister Roger will also be the first prime minister to enter the new Government Affairs Council. St. Arthur's Castle is destined to be different from Sydney.

More importantly, the relocation of the capital was decided by Arthur, and it was obviously in Arthur's interest to move the capital at this time.

If Prime Minister Roger wants to seek re-election, Arthur's support is also very important. This is also the reason why Prime Minister Roger proposed to move the capital as soon as possible, in order to gain Arthur's support and start new work in the new place.

However, if there are voices of support, there will naturally be voices of opposition.

It can be seen that the person who is opposed is the Minister of People's Livelihood Ludegaard. This is an official who obtained a cabinet seat through the Australasian Countryside Party. Naturally, he also attaches great importance to the interests of rural and low-income people.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not the time to move the capital at this time." Minister Ludgar explained: "Although the construction of St. Arthur's Castle has been completed, its size and popularity are far inferior to Sydney.

If we move the capital to St. Arthur's Castle, our capital will change from an internationally renowned metropolis to a small and medium-sized city with no reputation.

It is a heavy blow to our immigration attractiveness, and some people may not even know where our capital is. "

Now Australasia is also a powerful power, and its international reputation is undoubtedly unquestionable.

In any country in Europe and the United States, when it comes to cities in Australasia, Sydney and Melbourne almost blurt out.

The scale of these two cities is relatively large in the world. Sydney's population size can even be ranked among the top ten in the world, which is enough to show the popularity of these two cities around the world.

But Fort St. Arthur is different. Although infrastructure coverage has been completed during the long construction period, the size and population of this city are still only a small and medium-sized city.

Relocating too quickly will waste Sydney's popularity. Sydney is no longer the capital and will not be so attractive to some immigrants.

"This is not a problem." Industry Minister Joy said with a smile: "After this military parade, the popularity of St. Arthur's Castle will be greatly increased. Although it is not as good as Sydney, it is definitely not a small city with a low reputation.

What's more, after becoming our new capital, St. Arthur's Castle can usher in better development, and through St. Arthur's Castle, it can better radiate the entire Murray River Basin.

If it's just for one city, we can postpone the move of the capital. But for the development of the entire Murray River Basin, the sooner the capital is moved, the better.

Your Majesty, everyone, I agree with Prime Minister Roger's point of view. Since the capital is to be moved, the sooner it is done, the better. "

Arthur is not surprised that Industry Minister Joy supports Prime Minister Roger's views. After all, in addition to supporting agriculture, the Murray River Basin also plays an extremely important role in industrial development.

As Industry Secretary, Minister Joy has served two terms, making it even more difficult to seek three terms.

This also means that he must contribute to industry. Developing the industrial scale of the Murray River Basin has become very important to Minister Joy.

To put it simply, the former Leonora Industrial Base has nothing to do with the current Minister Joy.

Although Minister Joy has also advocated the construction of several industrial zones, they are far less than the Leonora Industrial Base in terms of scale and popularity.

If you want to create enough political achievements for yourself, it is very important to build an industrial zone comparable to the Leonola Industrial Base.

The next best thing is to build some industries in the Capital District in order to have the possibility of seeking a third term.

If you stay in Sydney, there will be no room for Minister Joy to dictate the industries near Sydney.

The industry here only needs to follow the rules and develop in the direction set before. Minister Joy will not make any contribution.

Although the Capital District is not completely poor in terms of industry, it does not have good planning. Minister Joy can build a new huge industrial zone according to his own ideas.

Even Minister Joy, a member of the cabinet, could not help but be moved by the political achievements brought by an industrial zone comparable to the Leonola Industrial Base.

The cabinet is roughly divided into two factions. One faction, like Prime Minister Roger and Minister Joy, wants to move the capital as soon as possible and make St. Arthur's Castle the new capital of Australasia.

On the other hand, like Minister Ludega, their parties and forces do not have much influence in the Capital Region. Moving the capital is a loss for them and will also reduce their possibility of seeking re-election.

There are also neutrals like Minister Raul who are left. They are all waiting for Arthur's opinion and then support Arthur unconditionally.

Arthur saw clearly the disputes in the cabinet, but such disputes were unavoidable, and Arthur was not surprised at all.

Although Australasia is under Arthur's control, people will have their own emotions and desires, and they will have their own ideas and ambitions.

It is true that they are loyal to Arthur, but on the premise of being loyal to Arthur, they will naturally strive for more benefits for themselves and their own powerful parties.

Arthur accepts this kind of controllable competition and disagreement, and encourages such disagreements in the government. After all, it represents more ideas and ideas.

As long as Arthur is in control, this disagreement is completely controllable. Because no matter how big the differences are in the government, Arthur's opinion must prevail.

As long as Arthur is in high control, the government is unlikely to cause greater conflicts that will affect the stability of the government and the country's prestige.

As a monarch, you should not reveal your thoughts and opinions too early, nor should you directly refute the views of your subordinates.

Whether right or wrong, this creates an impression of arbitrariness and is damaging to the monarch's own status.

The better way to deal with such differences is to make the final decision in a controlled and fair manner.

Which way is fairer? Naturally, all cabinet members will vote.

This is also Arthur's cleverness. He uses the voting results of the entire cabinet to express his opinions. This seems to be the cabinet's own choice, and naturally does not give rise to the illusion of Arthur being arbitrary.

On the contrary, it will also give the impression that Arthur respects the opinions of cabinet members, and will also make the Australasian government look more democratic and fair.
