The Rise of Australia

The cost of building an advanced university and its subsequent expenses is equivalent to the cost of building a large number of primary schools throughout Australia.

This may seem surprising and absurd, but it is actually very reasonable.

As the beginning of basic education, the cost of building a primary school is actually very small, and even some high school graduates can become primary school teachers.

Under such circumstances, the cost of teachers needed to build a university has been reduced by half, and the primary school does not need any scientific research equipment. You only need to prepare teaching materials and tables and chairs, and a simple primary school can be put into use.

"Minister Richard, I will give you a total of 5 million pounds of funds and allow you to apply for an additional budget of 1 million pounds within three years. My requirement is to see at least 100 primary schools established within this year, and the construction of universities must have results within two years. Can you do it?" Arthur looked at Minister Richard and asked with a meaningful smile.

The difficulty of establishing education and building industry is not the same. Building industry only needs to follow the rules and demarcate appropriate industrial areas to invest in equipment production.

However, the construction of education not only needs to consider the reasonable investment of teachers, teaching materials, and materials, but also the source of students and school needs in various cities.

If we blindly establish schools, we may not only waste a lot of money, but also have no effect, and waste our efforts.

"No problem, Your Highness! I promise that we can see the results of basic education within a year, and the results of universities within two years." Minister Richard stood up and said very solemnly.

Arthur gave him a difficult task, but if he can complete this task, he can also get great credit.

Whether it is Minister Pierre or Minister Richard, they are political elites born in Britain, and now they are the golden age of politicians in their forties and fifties.

They don't want their political careers to end like this, and they will fight for it even if it's a difficult task.

"Very good." Arthur nodded with satisfaction, and said to Minister Richard and Minister Pierre: "The tasks of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Industry in these three years are very heavy, but if they can be successfully completed, you will all get great credit. Australia is currently in the most important golden period of development, and it is also the time when talents like you are needed."

Seeing Arthur say this, Minister Pierre and Minister Richard were happy on their faces, and they were even more determined to do a good job in the three-year task.

"Minister Thomas, how is the situation of the Ministry of Public Security? After integrating the police stations of six states, how many police officers does Australia have now?" Arthur turned to look at the Minister of Public Security, Thomas Cech, and asked.

After the establishment of Australia, the police stations of the original six states were naturally integrated together and brought under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security.

However, because the police stations of each state were independent before, it would take some time to reasonably manage the forces of these police stations.

"Your Highness, Australia currently has 41 city police stations and 6 state police stations, with a total of more than 600 police officers. However, neither the current number of police stations nor the number of police officers can meet the needs of maintaining normal public security in Australia. And the distribution of police stations is also very unbalanced. The number of police stations in New South Wales is close to the total number of Western Australia and South Australia." Minister of Public Security Thomas Cech stood up and reported truthfully.

Arthur was shocked. He didn't expect that Australia's public security forces were so weak. No wonder Australia's economy did not develop well during the colonial period.

"What is the crime rate in our country? How many cases have occurred since the founding of the country?" Arthur asked solemnly.

The weak power of the Ministry of Public Security means that the order of Australian society is not stable.

In addition, the management of various states was very lax before, and there were many fights and even gun fights on the streets.

Once such serious cases occur, if the police cannot handle them on time, it will easily make people slightly disappointed with the government.

Once such incidents accumulate, even if they can be solved one by one in the future, the lost reputation of the government cannot be saved.

Therefore, the problem of public security also needs to be solved as soon as possible, which can not only improve the public security situation in Australia, but also increase the attractiveness of immigration in disguise.

After all, no one wants to immigrate to a country where gun battles often occur. Under the premise that their own safety is not guaranteed, no matter how many temptations there are, people will hesitate or even give up.

"Your Highness, because the efficiency of the police stations is not high, the crime rate cannot be well counted. But according to my investigation, in New South Wales alone, there have been more than a thousand cases since the establishment of Australia, and at least fifty murders." Minister Thomas lowered his head with a little shame.

"It's okay, Minister Thomas, it's not your fault that the previous data statistics were incomplete." Arthur looked at Minister Thomas's slightly ashamed look and comforted him.

"But I hope that the chaotic situation in Australia can be resolved within a year. I hope that the crime rate in Australia can be greatly reduced next year, and it is best not to have murders. Once a more serious case occurs, especially a murder, it must be handled quickly and fairly, and the victim's family must be compensated to a certain extent." Arthur changed the subject and asked.

"At the same time, I hope that all our cities can build police stations, even if they are only small police stations with two or three people. Australia should be a prosperous and beautiful home, not the cradle of those damn criminals." Arthur looked around and said firmly: "But this does not mean that the Ministry of Public Security has no requirements when recruiting police officers. First of all, all police officers must undergo strict identity and background verification, and then undergo long-term training before they can take up their posts. Before our police officers are trained, we cannot sit idly by and wait for the poor public security in Australia. The Ministry of Public Security will immediately launch an investigation, and any people with gang backgrounds will be your key investigation targets. For any individual or force, once the evidence of illegal crimes is found, arrest them directly. If there are not enough people, I will dispatch a thousand troops to assist you."

Arthur's words directly sentenced all the dangerous gangs in Australia to death.

No matter how powerful the gangs are, they cannot compete with a country.

Everyone felt pity for those gangs. When facing a regular army of a thousand people, even if all the gangs in Australia were added together, they had no way to compete.
