The Rise of Australia

Chapter 519 Football King’s Cup

Compared with the growth of total fiscal revenue, the growth of Australasia's total fiscal expenditure is not low. new

Australasia's free supply of supplies and free influenza treatment during influenza have greatly increased Australasia's appeal for immigrants from around the world, but at the same time, Australasia's total financial expenditures are also growing.

The total financial expenditure of 1 is as high as 170.4 million Australian dollars, which has increased to 179.9 million Australian dollars based on the four-year plan issued by the government.

The good news is that Australasia's fiscal situation is still in surplus. If you include compensation from defeated countries such as Germany and the United States, Australasia's annual fiscal surplus is still as high as more than 30 million Australian dollars. In a short period of time, the amount of money is Endless money spent.

In addition, Australasia has basically paid off its foreign debts through reparations from these countries, leaving only the 100 million pounds that the royal family brought to the government 20 years ago, which only needs to be paid back slowly.

The government currently plans to return 10 million Australian dollars to the royal family every year, and it is expected that the 100 million pounds loaned by the royal family to the government will be repaid in 20 years.

Coupled with the more than 1 million special royal funds that the royal family can receive from the government every year, the current Australasian royal family can no longer spend all of this money alone.

There are countless assets behind the scenes of the royal family, and there is not even an accurate figure for the annual income. Because it includes the appreciation of various assets and stocks, there is no way to get a more accurate estimate.

No matter what, the combined annual income of all the royal family's properties is definitely more than 100 million Australian dollars, and the total after-tax income is definitely more than 80 million Australian dollars. Arthur's assets have reached the point where there is no need to worry about spending at all. It is said that he is the richest in the world. The wealthy royal family is totally fine too.

At present, the number of employees of the royal family consortium on the surface has reached more than 100,000, and the number of employees of the major consortiums behind the scenes even reaches millions.

It can be said that the assets behind the royal family have supported a considerable part of the people of Australasia. The assets behind the royal family have affected all aspects of Australasia, including industries, and exist in almost every part of the lives of Australasians. new˙ɔoɯ

With so many assets, what Arthur wants most is to increase the influence of the royal family and the favorability of the royal family in the hearts of the people.

It would be a great thing if we could increase Australasia's international influence.

After much deliberation, in such peaceful times, Arthur still set his sights on those sports events.

After all, it is not cost-effective to start a war easily at the moment. If you want to attract the attention of the world, a sports event with enough popularity is essential.

There is no need to think too much about the Olympic Games. Although the Olympic Games are held this year, 1 has been contracted to Belgium by the International Olympic Committee because it is to compensate the Belgians for their casualties in the war.

After all, Belgium was a neutral country at the beginning, and its participation in this war was forced, which also resulted in a large number of casualties and economic losses.

In fact, there is another important point for Belgium to host the Olympic Games, that is, other victorious countries are busy licking their wounds, but are not in a big mood and spend a lot of money to host an Olympic Games.

As for Australasia, although Arthur has the idea of ​​hosting the Olympic Games, the last Olympic Games was held in Australasia (1 was canceled due to the war), and it would be too inappropriate to hold two Olympic Games in a row.

Since the Olympic Games cannot be held, Arthur feels it is necessary to hold Australasia's own sports events with international influence, such as the Football World Cup, which will have considerable influence in later generations.

The good news is that currently, regarding football, apart from the Olympic Games, there is currently no sports event that has an impact that can spread around the world.

The famous World Cup was held for the first time in Uruguay ten years later.

This also means that if Arthur wants to establish a world-famous sports event, it is still easy to achieve because there are no competitors.

The fastest way to make a sports event famous is naturally to carry out a lot of publicity, and at the same time formulate corresponding reward policies, giving certain financial rewards to the top three, etc.

In addition to the idea of ​​hosting Australasia's own international competition, Arthur decided to take action immediately. After all, Arthur's most indispensable thing is money, and he currently has a lot of free time. New 𝘹.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The only impediment to hosting sporting events is the current influenza epidemic, but if Arthur remembers correctly, the third wave of influenza will still be like the second wave and disappear once spring arrives.

More importantly, the end of the third round of flu means that this round of flu is completely over. The famous Spanish flu in history and the American flu, which is currently hated by people all over the world, will truly end.

It is worth mentioning that Belgium is also urgently estimating the risks posed by this round of influenza. According to normal time, this summer is the time when the Belgian Games will be held.

From the end of the war to the present, the Belgians have been preparing for several years and have invested countless funds in this Olympic Games.

If the event is delayed or even canceled due to the flu, Belgians simply cannot accept such a loss.

Perhaps the Belgians are also praying that the third round of influenza will be like the second round, with a severe winter but a quick disappearance of spring, so that their carefully prepared Olympic Games can start smoothly.

Arthur also acted very quickly. Within a few days, current FIFA President Heath Homan came to Arthur's office to discuss the hosting of international football events proposed by Arthur.

new

As early as more than ten years ago, FIFA was established in Australasia at Arthur's insistence.

However, due to various influences, FIFA has never been able to organize an international event.

First of all, due to transportation reasons, European and American football clubs were unwilling to travel thousands of miles to Australasia. After all, the fastest cruise ship at that time took more than a month, and the round trip took nearly three months.

Secondly, the various wars that broke out in the middle, coupled with various impacts, are also the reasons why FIFA failed to hold a decent event.

It is worth mentioning that when the Sydney Olympics were held, football events were organized by FIFA, which can be regarded as accumulating some experience for FIFA to organize future events.

So far, due to the availability of airplanes and airships, international exchanges have become faster. It takes more than half a month to sail around the world, greatly shortening the distance from Europe and the United States to Australasia.

Under such circumstances, hosting international football events has become more realistic, and the internationalization of sports has become easier to achieve.

"Mr. Heath Homan, long time no see!" The moment Heath Homan opened the door and came in, Arthur smiled at Heath Homan and said at the same time, motioning for Heath Homan to sit down.

"Long time no see, His Majesty the King." Heath Homan nodded very respectfully, and carefully sat down at the position indicated by Arthur.

"Someone should have told you about my request, right? Now is a great time for the internationalization of sports. I am confident enough to host an international sports event that belongs to Australasia." Arthur smiled said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. There is indeed a better development environment now than before, and it is more suitable for hosting an international sports event. FIFA is willing to do everything for this sports event and promote the internationalization of football." Heath Homan stood up and said slightly excitedly.

As the former secretary of the Dutch Football Association and now the president of FIFA, Heath Homan hopes that football can achieve true internationalization and that FIFA can have a real status, instead of being just an empty shell like it is now.

"How is the current development of the football environment in Europe? If we want to hold an international football event, how many countries can we attract to participate?" Arthur asked.

Arthur has a purpose for holding such a football match. Naturally, he cannot ignore all conditions, at least he must achieve his own purpose.

Arthur's core purpose is naturally to increase the international influence of Australasia and the popularity of the Australasian royal family at home and abroad.

"Your Majesty, after more than ten years of development, football has become a very popular sports event in Europe and the United States. At present, football clubs in European countries have become more mature and have their own football associations.

If we can be sufficiently attractive in terms of prize money for the tournament, it will not be difficult to attract these European football associations to sign up.

I can unite these European football associations under FIFA through such an event. This will also be of great benefit to FIFA, so that it can truly have the power to control the world football association. "Heath Homan stood up and said with enthusiasm and excitement.

The current environment has made sufficient progress compared to more than ten years ago, and football clubs and football associations in various countries have also been basically improved.

But the current FIFA obviously does not have enough status to unite the football associations of these countries, although it does not have enough strength to control these football associations and those football players.

If FIFA can organize a football tournament that is recognized by countries around the world, it will naturally have jurisdiction over national football federations and football players.

In this way, FIFA's international word can be truly realized, instead of being just a superficial thing like it is now.

"Very good. I hope you can formulate a plan as soon as possible about organizing an international football event. The National Stadium can be handed over to you. If you need it, you can also build a special football stadium to meet the needs of hosting the event. ." Arthur nodded with satisfaction before giving the order.

“This international football event is very important to Australasia. I hope that it will attract a large number of countries to participate in it for the first time and become a truly international event that attracts the attention of countries around the world.

The royal family will definitely not be stingy. The initial investment in this football event is approximately between 5 million Australian dollars and 10 million Australian dollars. If more countries can be attracted to participate, part of the budget can also be exceeded. Arthur said with a smile.

This budget is already quite large. After all, when the Sydney Olympics were held, the budget was almost the same.

If all the cost of hosting an Olympic Games is spent on hosting football events, the international influence it can create is bound to not be too low.

After all, if a lot of investment is made, the cost of building a stadium or promoting it will not be low, and the impact it can have is bound to be huge.

In addition, with sufficient budget, FIFA can formulate bonuses for the championship, runner-up and third place.

The higher the prize money, the more attractive it will be to European and American football clubs and associations.

After all, before the event has any influence, the only way to attract the football associations of these countries to sign up and participate can only rely on the most basic financial temptation.
