The Rise of Australia

After inspecting the progress of the nuclear weapons research team, awarding and encouraging all the researchers in the research team, giving them rewards from Arthur and the royal family, and promising them time to see their families, Arthur also ended his research on nuclear weapons. Inspection by the R\u0026D team. ♦♢

As for seeing the working process of nuclear weapons with his own eyes, Arthur actually didn't have much interest.

No joke, these work processes are quite dangerous, and a little carelessness can cause huge casualties.

If Arthur insists on watching, these scientists will certainly not object, but it will definitely cause huge damage to the progress of nuclear weapons research.

Firstly, these scientists have to take care of Arthur's safety, and secondly, they have to carry out the nuclear weapons production process under Arthur's watch. It is very difficult not to make mistakes.

Arthur wasn't going to cause trouble for himself. After all, as the saying goes, a gentleman should not stand under dangerous walls. The most important thing a qualified monarch should do is not to cause trouble for himself and his subordinates.

A lot of trouble is caused by oneself, Arthur still knows this truth very well. As long as Arthur conducts his inspections safely, there won't be any problems and he can gain the favor of these scientists. Why not?

After returning to Fort St. Arthur from the city where the nuclear weapons research project team was located, Arthur quickly received the news that there had been changes in Germany.

Similar to Italy, huge changes occurred in Germany after all.

Arthur was not surprised by this. Germany's poor economic situation has already determined the political situation to be chaotic, and it is completely normal for coups and revolutions to occur.

Of course, as in history, Mustache came to power smoothly, was named Prime Minister of the German Empire by Wilhelm II, and abolished the position of German President.

President Hindenburg, who retired honorably in history, was not only forced to lose his position as president, but also suffered the infamy of Germany's defeat in World War I and fell ill on the way back home.

After Italy, Germany also entered the rule of extremism. Wilhelm II may have been tired of the political struggle, or he may have followed Arthur's advice and decided to stay away from German politics for the time being.

In short, after becoming the German Prime Minister, Germany's military and political power fell into the hands of Mustache.

Of course, what is said to be military and political power is actually a mess. The reason why Mustache was able to successfully take over Hindenburg's power was that, in addition to being highly respected among the German people, the Stormtroopers he created had actually become the largest armed force in Germany.

This is no joke. You know, the size of the German army is limited to 150,000 people. After the partition of the various states, the imperial government's army numbered less than 70,000.

Look at the mustache again. The number of stormtroopers has exceeded 200,000, far exceeding the total number of German troops.

In a situation where each state was conducting its own affairs and was vaguely independent of the imperial government, Mustache really had no opponent in the imperial government. This was also the reason why President Hindenburg's rule came to an end.

He cannot be trusted by the monarch Wilhelm II, he cannot be trusted by the people at the bottom, and he cannot be trusted by political parties.

With only the support of the Juncker nobles and a small amount of military power, President Hindenburg was unable to maintain his rule, and his presidential throne was more of a joke.

The impeachment of President Hindenburg was more likely the result of the cooperation between Wilhelm II and Mustache.

In exchange for benefits, Wilhelm II appointed Mustache as the Prime Minister of Germany and handed over all military and political power in Germany to him.

The mustache will also protect William II's status as monarch, and his reign will not actively abolish the monarchy.

After doing all this, Wilhelm II took his children and family and moved to a small town on the outskirts of Berlin, expressing his determination not to interfere in politics from now on.

Mustache can also rest assured that he can carry out his own reforms in Germany in a drastic way and build Germany into the powerful empire in his mind.

Of course, the German restriction is still very important.

Mustache has no plans to abrogate the restrictive treaty for the time being. After all, the enemy is still very powerful at this time.

Moreover, the neighbor's war and the arms competition between Britain and France also gave Mustache hope. Coupled with Italy's Mussolini, Mustache seemed to have seen the future situation, and also saw the outcome of Germany defeating powerful enemies and unifying the entire Europe.

Although Arthur had already anticipated such changes, it was simply impossible not to react and take precautions.

Britain and France are also paying attention to the changes in Germany. They are also worried about whether the Germans will break through the restrictions and become another serious threat to European stability.

The good news is that Mustache doesn't act too crazy on the surface, which makes Britain and France feel more at ease.

The French army even fired provocatively in demonstrations at the border area. After confirming that there was no reaction or threat from the German army, the French government was relieved.

Both Britain and France believed that the German Empire, which had an army of only 150,000 people and was completely at odds with the imperial government, posed no threat.

Even if there is a new ruler, Britain and France still believe that Germany will not recover in a short time, and their biggest concerns are still each other.

Because of this, after testing that the Germans did not have any additional ambitions, the French focused all their attention on the confrontation with the British.

As time enters February, France and the United Kingdom have successively announced a naval construction plan.

It is worth mentioning that the expedition to the United States has ended. Logically speaking, the military budgets of various countries should be smaller than last year.

But the actual situation is that the military budgets of Britain and France are getting higher and higher, and even tend to remain the same as the previous year.

After the French announced an expansion plan to build 3 dreadnoughts, 5 battlecruisers, 1 aircraft carrier, and 30 small and medium-sized warships, the British soon announced their own shipbuilding plan, and at the beginning of the French shipbuilding plan Basically it doubled.

Yes, the British shipbuilding plan is very exaggerated. In the next five years, the UK will build at least a series of cruisers, 4 aircraft carriers, 12 destroyers, 22 frigates and dozens of other small and medium-sized warships.

The number was directly twice that of the French, which also made the French very angry, thinking that the British were targeting themselves.

In order to express revenge against the British, the French soon announced that they would build 100 submarines and build an Atlantic front connecting the three American republics with France.

The competition between Britain and France has attracted a lot of attention. They are also the two most powerful countries in the world today.

Going further back, only Australasia and the island countries can be compared with these two countries.

As for other great powers, there is already a sufficient gap between them and these four countries. It is precisely because of such a disparity in strength that the European media even divides the great powers into big powers and small powers.

Knowing that he could not put all his hopes in nuclear weapons, Arthur decided to increase research on other weapons and prepare for possible wars in advance.

Tanks, aircraft, cannons, rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, medical equipment, transportation equipment, communication equipment and a variety of advanced machinery are all areas that Arthur wants to improve.

Only by leading the world in these weapons can Australasia have the confidence to win the next war, and can Arthur have the confidence to secure sufficient benefits for his country and people.

Not mentioned before, many advanced technologies have been born with the progress of nuclear weapons research and development, such as the electron microscope technology that was only born last year.

The working principle of a microscope is very simple. It magnifies an object much and allows you to see details that are invisible to the naked eye.

Electron microscopy is even more exaggerated. Generally speaking, the magnification of ordinary microscopes is from tens to hundreds of times, while the magnification of electron microscopes can reach 2000 times.

Thanks to this characteristic, electron microscopes play an extremely important role in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and health, and it is also a major achievement that must be mentioned.

With the advent of electron microscopy, subsequent biological research has become more effective and faster.

Even more far-sighted, electron microscopes can more effectively deal with the study of various bacteria and viruses, as well as phages and other microorganisms.

Whether it is making various bacteria and viruses yourself, or preventing bacteria and viruses made by enemies, it plays an extremely important role.

Of course, the biggest role is to study viruses that exist in humans and make more diseases treatable.

Another aspect is that vitamin C is artificially produced.

Although various vitamin C-related drugs in later generations have become very common, the price of vitamin C products is also very low.

But now, vitamin C is still a relatively new thing.

As early as hundreds of years ago, navigators discovered that when sailing long distances, crew members often contracted a disease called scurvy.

At that time, there were not many treatments for this disease, and people didn’t even know what caused the disease or how to treat it.

Until now, through research and exploration by a group of organic chemists, the chemical formula of vitamins has been found in various plant samples and pure vitamin C has been produced.

The organic chemist also won last year's Victoria Medal for Medicine for his discovery and production of vitamin C, and was interviewed by Arthur.

For the current situation, vitamin C actually plays a vital role. In some long-distance voyages, it is difficult to ensure that fresh fruits and food are available at all times, which also means that the crew members have a high probability of suffering from scurvy, which is a lack of vitamin C.

But with the introduction of vitamin C drugs, whether it is a warship or a civilian ship, there is no need to worry about scurvy during long-distance voyages.

After all, as long as you take vitamin C medicine on time, at least the lack of vitamin C in your body will not cause scurvy.
