Chapter 77 Expansion of Military Factories and Shipyards (Please subscribe!)

These loan operations combined to borrow more than 500,000 pounds from the Royal Bank, while the deposit business only brought 90,000 pounds in cash to the bank.

If Arthur's assets were not too rich, he might not be able to support such huge consumption.

The good news is that with the investment of this huge amount of money, Australia is likely to give birth to a group of petty bourgeoisie, farmers or other shop owners in the future.

With enough entrepreneurial capital, Australia should experience an entrepreneurial boom in the future.

These people can also drive Australia's economic development and provide more income for Australia and Arthur.

"Steward Hunter, when will branches in other states be able to open? The current response from Royal Bank in Sydney is very good, and it is time to expand the branches to other states." Arthur read the report, put it on the table, and then Looking at Butler Hunter aside, he asked with a smile.

"Because other states are far away, the opening times are also different. But what is certain is that within the next three months, Royal Bank branches in other states will also open one after another." Butler Hunter reported with a smile. arrive.

The bank does not have any requirements for construction and decoration. It only needs to find vacant houses for renovation on streets with a large flow of people.

The only requirement is a vault to store the funds. The Royal Bank uses multiple large safes and a heavily guarded strategy.

Although it cannot compare with various advanced monitoring systems and security in the future, if you want to rob bank funds under such defense, in addition to strategic weapons like Yan Shuangying, you can only dispatch large-scale troops.

But the problem is that neither Yan Shuangying nor large-scale troops are possible on Australian soil.

"We must record the deposits carefully and leave as many backups as possible. I don't want our bank to make any mistakes, otherwise we may lose the reputation of the royal family." Arthur instructed.

Once money, the most fundamental interest, is involved, disputes can easily lead to hatred.

Arthur did not want the bank he had worked so hard to establish to end up being a weapon to destroy his reputation, causing huge losses to his status and the prestige of the royal family.

"I understand, Your Highness. In addition to the bills given to each user, our bank will also keep three copies of the bills, which are stored in the local bank, the head office and the database. We will try our best to prevent any errors from happening. Once it occurs It's a mistake, we will solve it as quickly as possible." Butler Hunter nodded and replied.

Institutions like banks that involve large amounts of funds are bound to make some mistakes. Although Arthur said he would try his best to avoid making mistakes, he also knew in his heart that as long as bank employees are human, they will always make mistakes one day.

Compared with not making mistakes, it is also very important to deal with them properly after making mistakes.

"The presidents of each branch must also select loyal talents. The Royal Bank will be an important institution in coordinating the Australian economy in the future and must not lose credibility in the hearts of the people." Arthur reminded.

When something goes wrong, the crowd doesn't care who made the error. Because it is the Royal Bank, Arthur and the royal family will be the ones to take the blame.

"Yes, Your Highness. The branch selected guys who came to Australia with us, and their loyalty is very reliable." Butler Hunter explained.

It must be said that in addition to leaving a huge legacy to Arthur, Arthur's father, Duke Arthur, also had many loyal and reliable officials who were also very valuable assets.

Their allegiance was originally to Duke Arthur, and now it will only be Arthur. Compared to other people, their loyalty is still very reliable.

"That's good, Butler Hunter. Don't forget about the construction of shipyards and armaments factories. After a while, assistance from the United Kingdom and Germany will arrive, and our armaments factories and shipyards can also take the opportunity to expand. To There will be an order from the military at that time, and you ask the military factories and shipyards to prepare in advance." Arthur nodded with satisfaction and said.

With the arrival of aid from Britain and Germany, Australia's industrial development will also enter a rapid stage.

Especially for Arthur's arsenal and shipyard, with the technical support from Germany and the United Kingdom, the expansion of the two factories is an inevitable trend.

Whether it is the production line of Gew rifles or the artillery technology from Germany, it is valuable information for military factories to learn from.

Military factories that have mastered these technologies will also become the most reliable source of weapons and equipment for the Australian army.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the shipyard. It was an advanced shipyard that was originally relocated from the United Kingdom. Although it was only a small scale, it also had the ability to independently build small warships.

After absorbing naval technical assistance from the United Kingdom and Germany, the shipyard also hopes to expand into a large shipyard and has the qualifications to build the most powerful main battleships, battleships.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will make the military factories and shipyards ready." Butler Hunter said.

"By the way, Germany's assistance this time also includes the drawings and data of the Braunschweig-class battleship. Now we can start to increase the number of workers and technical experts in the shipyard. I hope that after the German naval assistance arrives, we can use the best possible method Master their shipbuilding technology as quickly as possible, and this powerful battleship." Arthur thought of something and quickly added.

Compared with other naval aid from Germany, the drawings and data of the Braunschweig-class battleship are definitely the most important things.

If Australia can quickly master the construction technology of this battleship, it may be able to receive production orders for several battleships before the birth of the dreadnought.

Butler Hunter was a little surprised when he heard what Arthur said, but he quickly reacted and replied: "I understand, Your Highness. When I return, I will immediately instruct the shipyard to quickly expand the number of employees and wait for assistance from Germany." arrival."

"There is another task, Steward Hunter. Organize people to go to Europe and the United States to find scientists who are frustrated due to lack of research funds. Australia can provide them with enough research funds and venues, but the requirement is that they must work for Australia. In ten years, they can choose where to go after that." Arthur continued to give instructions.

For European countries where the education industry is already very developed, not every scientist can get enough R\u0026D funds that they want.

This has also led to a large number of scientists falling into debt and frustration. It is the best time for Australia to rescue them.

Although these people may only be forced to choose to come to Australia because of R\u0026D funding issues.

They may not have high recognition of Australia, or even no recognition at all.

This is also the reason why Arthur has set a ten-year playing time. If it takes longer, the benefits to Australia will be greater.

But it will also lead to many people giving up this option because they have worked for other countries for a long time.

In fact, ten years is not a short time. After living in any country for ten years, as long as you don't encounter anything ridiculous, you will basically develop feelings for that country. Arthur had exactly this purpose.
