The Rise Of Australasia

This would weaken the power of the Colonial Governor and minimize the possibility of the colonial governor's mercenaries becoming independent.

However, the colonial governor still had the authority to mobilize these garrisons. After all, certain policies concerning the security of the colonies also required the cooperation of these garrisons.

After such a move, the number of troops stationed in the Northern Colony and the Royal Territory would be significantly reduced, with only about 8,000 left.

However, with the assistance of the Australasian navy, the security of these colonies could still be guaranteed.

As for the 15 colonial divisions currently owned by Australasia, Arthur gathered them in Australasian native land for unified and standardized training.

Before the outbreak of World War I, they would also undergo a period of training to ensure they have a certain level of combat capabilities.

Of course, what is more important is to cultivate the loyalty of these indigenous soldiers. At least during the war, there would be no confusion, no desertion - which is the most basic requirement.

But it probably won't happen. After all, these troops will eventually be deployed to the European battlefield. Who can they desert to? To Germany?

It should be noted that European racism is much more serious than in Australasia. Escaping the battlefield may not necessarily avoid the risk to their lives.

It would be better to fight for Australasia and receive the rewards promised by Arthur after victory.

Yes, in order to motivate these soldiers and ensure that the indigenous army does not become chaotic, Arthur promised that as long as these indigenous soldiers serve Australasia for ten years, they would receive a monetary reward and, along with their families, be sent to live in Southeast Asia.

This is the first time that Arthur publicly promised to send the indigenous people to Southeast Asia safely since he took control of the entire Australasia.

This has given hope to some indigenous people who thought they would die tragically in Australasia, even if it is just for their families, they want to hold onto this lifesaving straw.

In order to make these indigenous soldiers believe in him, and to develop their combat abilities and ensure their loyalty, Arthur generously provided them with meat, albeit only once every two days.

But this was much better compared to their previous life. As long as they trained obediently every day, they would receive enough food, beef and mutton, and fruit every two days, even if it was just a tomato or an apple, it was enough to excite these indigenous people.

Moreover, all colonial divisions have guidance officers set up by Arthur, who are essentially in charge of brainwashing them.

Therefore, since the beginning of training, these 15 colonial divisions have not erupted in much chaos, and the training is progressing in an orderly manner.

In fact, this is quite normal, since after these indigenous people join the army, the treatment of them and their families will be much better.

One of the many welfare benefits for indigenous soldiers is that their families can be exempted from forced labor and become regular workers under the government or colonial government, with paid work.

This means that after these indigenous people join the army, the safety and life of their families is guaranteed.

At the same time, more generous rewards and safeguards are provided for some indigenous people who are promoted to serve as squad leaders and officers. With these indigenous people supervising internally, the control of the entire colonial division can be more secure.

The key to ensuring the loyalty of the colonial divisions is to establish a rule among the indigenous soldiers called the Whistleblowing Rule by Arthur.

As long as one can expose the disloyalty of their comrades and superiors, once verified, they will receive generous rewards.

These rewards include a certain amount of funds and the freedom of the whistleblower and their family.

This means that if the disclosure is successful, they and their families are likely to gain freedom directly.

Even if money is not attractive to them, Arthur believes that no indigenous person would not yearn for freedom. By implementing the Whistleblowing Rule, even if the indigenous people do not have the courage to disclose their comrades and superiors, it will make some malicious indigenous people wary, causing rifts between indigenous people and other indigenous people.

At the same time, there will not be too many indigenous soldiers from the same region within a colonial division.

This rule even permeates the squad level, with generally no more than two indigenous people from the same region in the same combat squad.

This means that these indigenous soldiers are relatively unfamiliar with their comrades, which increases the likelihood of them reporting comrades, and heightens the distrust and suspicion between indigenous soldiers.

The best way to manage these Indigenous Peoples is to divide them and use Indigenous Peoples to manage them.

With all these policies in place, even if the loyalty of the colonial divisions is not very high, they can still be used for combat.

After all, once these colonies are sent to Europe, their fate is not important to Arthur.

Of course, Arthur will keep his word. After World War I ends, most indigenous people will be sent back by Arthur, including those who did not join the army.

All indigenous soldiers are uniformly equipped with Lee-Enfield rifles, which also used up some of the rifle inventory of the Royal Military Factory.

However, the good news is that the British Empire has provided part of the funds for this batch of equipment, so the expenditure of the Australasian Ministry of Defense is minimal.
