The Rise Of Australasia

The construction mileage of this part of the railway is not long, and the railways near the industrial base are already in place, so it is expected that the construction period will only take a year and a half.

The second part of the Central Railway, located in the true center of the Australian region, connects Darwin, Bodem, Tennant Creek, Alicia Springs, and Takura from north to south, eventually linking back to the Industrial Railway.

The third part of the Central Railway is actually about the railway connections between Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland Capital Territory, and the four regions.

All four regions are located in the east of Australia, which also has the largest Australian population.

The railway planning in this part is quite complicated; not only are the railways interconnected between the four regions, but also within each administrative region, the railways must form a loop to facilitate population movement and economic exchange.

This part of the railway can be divided in detail into the railway circles of Townsville, Hewnden, Dagala, Jericho, Rockhampton, Brisbane, and Charlville in Queensland.

New South Wales has Newcastle, Orlando, Wolget, Burke, and Dylan Banda railway circles.

Victoria has Melbourne, Geelong, and Oboost railway circles.

As well as the Sydney Railway Circle in Capital Territory.

The four major railway circles form a set of systems, interconnected to promote economic exchange and population mobility in a large area.

If the three main parts of the Central Railway are fully constructed, more than half of the railway construction in the Australian region will be completed, basically meeting the current traffic demand brought by the population.

Of course, adding up the three main parts of the Central Railway is a more difficult construction plan than the Northern Railway and Industrial Railway.

Because the estimated total mileage has exceeded 10,000 kilometers, the construction period is expected to be about ten years.

If the construction of the Central Railway is started, the Transportation Department will be busy in the next ten years.

Moreover, due to the large-scale construction of railways, the government's financial burden will also increase, and the growth of government financial expenditure is inevitable.

But there is no other way. To become wealthy, build roads first; this statement applies at any time and is the truth of national development.

Any construction and economic circulation need developed transportation methods. The construction of the Central Railway in Australasia is inevitable and necessary.

Fortunately, the government's financial situation is still very good, so after consideration, Arthur agreed to the railway construction plan of the Transportation Department.

Of course, as the saying goes, you can't get fat in one bite. Although the Central Railway construction plan is approved, it does not mean that all three parts of the Central Railway construction plan will be carried out simultaneously.

For the construction of Leonora Industrial Base, and also because the Leonora Industrial Base has existing railways, making construction smoother, under Arthur's command, the Transportation Department will first build the first part of the Central Railway, that is, the railway running through Leonora Industrial Base.

After the completion of this railway, the transportation of West Australian State will become very developed, and it will also facilitate the rapid transportation of supplies from the Northern Railway and the Industrial Railway to the Leonora Industrial Base.

Following the principle of importance, after the completion of the first part, the most challenging and longest third part will be constructed.

The third part is located in the central part of the Australian region, the most populous, economically developed, and core area of Australia and the entire Australasia.

The importance of this part of the railway is far greater than that of the railway running through South Australia State, and it is also an important goal of government railway construction.

Only after the completion of these two parts of railway construction, the Transportation Department can consider the South Australia railway construction and then complete the entire Central Railway.

According to the Transportation Department's estimation, the construction of the entire Central Railway will take about ten years and require at least 50 million Australian dollars to start.

However, the good news is that this fund is not a one-time expenditure and will be consumed slowly during the construction of the railway over more than ten years.

This means that the annual government expenditure on railway construction is only about 5 million Australian dollars, which is entirely within the government's capacity to bear.

It's important to note that the increase in job opportunities brought by railway construction alone can keep Australasia's economy growing continuously.

For national-level projects, investing in infrastructure construction is not a loss, as the funds spent will, in turn, promote the country's economic growth in another way.
