Chapter 152: Chapter 147: Annual Governnt Report eting
Of course, before the National Day arrives, the Australian Governnt has a very important conference to hold, which is the annual governntal annual report summary.
At this ti of the year, it is also used to asure all the things and political achievents that each departnt and all officers have done in the past year, and it can even determine whether they can remain in this position in the next election.
Although the competition in Australian politics is not fierce, these ministers have a very high chance of re-election under the condition that they do not make mistakes.
However, there is one variable, which is Arthur’s attitude. As the de facto Duke of Australia, Arthur has the power to appoint cabinet mbers.
Once these officers cause Arthur’s dissatisfaction due to incompetence or slackness, and they lose their position for nothing, it would be a great loss.
You should know that although Australia has a low reputation internationally, it is also a huge country with a territory of millions of square kiloters and a population of millions.
In such a country, becoming a cabinet minister and a cabinet mber is far more powerful than being an ordinary officer.
Moreover, it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but hard to move from luxury to frugality. After these officials have tasted the enormous power of the cabinet mbers, it would be like cutting a piece of flesh from their hearts if they want them to give up these powers.
Therefore, these cabinet mbers take this governnt annual report summary eting very seriously, and not only have they summarized all the evidences they have done within their respective departnts for a year, they have also collected a lot of materials and made clear layouts for the plans of their respective departnts for the next year.
December 31,1902, this is the last day of 1902, and it is also the day when the Australian Cabinet Governnt holds the annual summary report eting.
Early in the morning, several cabinet ministers, including Pri Minister Evan, arrived early at the eting room, each carefully studying the materials in their hands, for fear of forgetting so data.
If Arthur suddenly asked them about so data in their respective departnts and they didn’t know, then it would be a big joke.
Can a person who doesn’t know the data of their own departnt be interpreted as incompetent or derelict of duty?
At 8 0 clock in the morning, Arthur arrived at the eting room on the top floor of the National Governnt Building on ti.
Everyone stood up to salute, and they all sat down at Arthur’s gesture.
Everyone, 1902 is coming to the end, and we are about to welco a brand new 1903. Similarly, our cabinet governnt has also experienced a full year of work, and it must have achieved a lot of achievents. Now, it is also the ti for all of us to examine the achievents of the governnt’s work. Pri Minister Evan, let’s start with you! Introduce the overall achievents of the cabinet governnt and let everyone know about the changes in Australia.” After everyone sat down, Arthur said straightforwardly.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Pri Minister Evan nodded slightly respectfully, picked up the prepared data report, and walked step by step to the podium in the center of the round conference table.
“Your Highness, everyone. Looking closely at 1902, the most eye-catching change in Australia is still in industry and economy. In terms of industry, our steel production, industrial areas, and the number of large, dium and small factories continue to climb, and in so aspects, it is already on par with so small European countries. Of course, our goal is far more than this, the various construction and developnt of Australia still need to continue, and vigorously promote.” Pri Minister Evan began.
The changes in industry, I would like to invite Minister Pierre to say more.
There are many changes in this area, and it is also one of the areas with the most changes in Australia.” Pri Minister Evan looked at Minister of Industry Pierre and said with a smile.
“Happy to serve.” Minister of Industry Pierre nodded with a smile, walked to the podium and temporarily took over Pri Minister Evan’s position.
“Your Highness, Your Excellency Pri Minister, colleagues. Looking at the whole 1902, the industrial changes in Australia are earth-shattering. If we say that we initially had so industrial output a year ago, then now we have initially beco an industrial country.” Minister Pierre took out the materials he had prepared and spoke with neither humility nor arrogance.
First of all, the biggest and most obvious changes are our steel production. Last year, our steel and iron production had reached 61,000 tons and 93,000 tons, and it was already able to be compared with so European countries.” Minister Pierre reported: “Now we have far surpassed this number. So far, our steel and iron production has reached 263,100 tons and 422,200 tons respectively. The rates of increase are 3.8 tis and 4-5 tis. In terms of steel output, we are already one-sixth of France and one-thirtieth of Germany.” Is it shaful to be one-sixth of France and one-thirtieth of Germany? No, it’s not embarrassing, and it’s even an honor.
These two countries, one is a forr dominant power in Europe, and the other is now the dominant power in Central Europe and the second major power.
These two countries have long had a relatively complete industrial system, and their industrial strength is absolutely at a great power level.
Although France’s decline is clear, that Australia’s steel production can reach one-sixth of France’s is enough to prove how rapid Australia’s industrial developnt is.
It must be noted that when the Australian Principality was just established, the total steel output was just less than 10,000 tons.
And Arthur has been in Australia for only a little over two years, and the steel production has reached a terrifying 260,000 tons or above, and the total steel output has even exceeded 680,000 tons.
This level has even exceeded the island nation that has been undergoing reforms for decades, and in terms of steel output, it can already be ranked as one of the top fifteen in the world.
Of course, this ranking is actually quite false, and the industrial scale of any major power country is several tis or even dozens of tis that of Australia.
Hearing about the huge achievent in steel production, Arthur nodded satisfactorily.
Australia’s construction and developnt in all aspects need a large amount of steel production, and the current steel production is just enough to et the needs of dostic construction and developnt.
For Australia, which has a lot of very rich mineral resources, its industrial scale can only be big, not small.
On the premise of having sufficient mineral resource supply, Arthur’s expectation for Australia’s industry is to reach a major power level.
Seeing Arthur has no questions, Pierre, the Minister of Industry, continued, “So far, we have added three industrial areas, making the total number five. These five industrial areas are respectively located in West Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria State. Among them, New South Wales, due to its larger population, is currently the only state with two industrial areas.”
The establishnt of industrial areas previously depended on the population of each state. Especially for states with smaller populations like Tasmania State, there is no need to set up industrial areas temporarily.
