The Rise Of Australasia

Before the expeditionary army set out, Arthur gave an encouraging speech to the Fourth Division, stating that he would personally award them honors and medals upon their successful return.

This speech ignited the enthusiasm of the Fourth Division, as the soldiers still had high passion for war. After all, there were not many wars in Australasia, and each war would be a great victory, waiting to reap the rewards.

Arthur had great trust in the combat capability of the Fourth Division, and he had great trust in the command ability and adaptability of the division commander Scott Malone.

Scott Malone was a talent cultivated by Australasia itself, a native Australasian.

Brigadier General Scott had successively served in the Australasia Colony Garrison, Australasia's First Division, and the Guard First Division, and studied at the Sydney Royal Military Academy, before being appointed as the Deputy Division Commander of the Second Guard Division.

When the Fourth Division was formed, Scott successfully became one of the candidates and eventually obtained the position of Division Commander of the Fourth Division.

Scott, currently the commander of the division, is not yet 40 years old, and still has plenty of room for upward mobility.

After instructing General Scott to minimize casualties and maximize the killing of Argentina's living forces to achieve victory in war, Arthur confidently watched the departure of the expeditionary army.

Arthur's consistent principle is not to blindly interfere in the war of the troops. Except for his own Guard Division, the conventional division operations are basically carried out under the command of the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, the war results and progress also need to be reported to Arthur since a monarch who is ignorant of the current military situation cannot manage the country.

It will take some time for the expeditionary army to reach the border between Chile and Argentina, and during this time, Arthur has important work to do.

It has been more than half a year since the second phase of the Leonora Industrial Base's construction was completed.

During this time, Leonora Industrial Base has successfully attracted investment and most of the industrial areas have been put into production.

However, the relocation and establishment of factories are not that quick. According to a conservative estimate by the industrial sector, the second phase of the Leonora Industrial Base will not be fully operational until the end of this year and the beginning of next year, greatly enhancing Australasia's industrial strength and promoting economic growth.

Without exaggeration, the current Leonora Industrial Base is the industrial core of Australasia and the brightest industrial pearl in Oceania.

At present, the Leonora Industrial Base has nearly 200 factories, 170,000 workers and technical personnel, covering all aspects of Australasia.

The successful completion of the first and second phases of the industrial base has also given Arthur and the Ministry of Industry full confidence to promote the construction of the third and expected final phase of the industrial base.

Time waits for no one, and since it is already August, Arthur does not want to wait for the second phase of the industrial base to be fully operational before starting the construction of the third phase.

Fortunately, the second phase of the industrial base is relatively far from the planned construction of the third phase, so there will be no interference between the two phases.

On August 9, 1913, the Australasian Government officially announced the commencement of the third phase of the construction of the Leonora Industrial Base, following the customary cabinet meeting.

The construction plan for the third phase of the Leonora Industrial Base is the largest and most expensive in all three phases of the industrial base.

According to the plan provided by the Ministry of Industry, the total construction area for the third phase of the industrial base will be nearly 6,000 acres.

Of these, the construction area will cover 4,800 acres, with greenery, environment, drainage, environmental protection, and road construction consuming a total of 1,200 acres of land.

If you include the total area for all three phases of the industrial base, the entire Leonora Industrial Base will be a super large base occupying more than 10,000 acres.

Based on the standards of the second phase of the Industrial Base, the third phase will have at least 400 standardized factory workshops and 50 large-scale storage areas, capable of accommodating at least 200 super-large factories and hundreds of smaller factories.

This means that the third phase of the industrial base alone can accommodate nearly 350,000 employees, creating 350,000 jobs.

The entire Leonora Industrial Base will create more than 550,000 jobs for Australasia, and the immeasurable impact it will bring to the industrial and economic growth of Australasia.

Perhaps due to the experience gained from the construction of the first two phases of the industrial base, the design and planning of the third phase of the base went very smoothly.

On August 15th, after mobilizing a large number of construction teams from Sydney, Victoria State, and New South Wales State, the third-phase construction of the Leonora Industrial Base officially began.

As usual, Arthur attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the industrial base and expressed satisfaction with the construction and production of the first two phases of the industrial base.

Today's Leonora Industrial Base has gained considerable reputation not only in Australasia but also internationally. The commencement of the third phase has attracted many Australasian media outlets.

"The third phase of the Leonora Industrial Base officially begins; what kind of exaggerated potential does Australasia's Ruhr District have?"

"With 500 standardized workshops and 100 large storage areas, what kind of exaggerated scale has Australasia's Ruhr District reached?"
