The New Guinea Circum-Island railway, a railway line of over 4000 kiloters, excluding the part that had been constructed in Australian and German New Guinea, needs to have at least another 2000 kiloters built.
For the construction of this segnt, Arthur’s preference was that it be undertaken by dostic private railway companies in Australasia.
Even when Australia was still a colony, there were quite a few private railway companies in Australia, albeit on a relatively smaller scale.
After more than a decade of developnt, a number of dium-sized railway companies have erged, but none are capable of taking on this railway project alone.
Ultimately, the 2000-kiloter railway was divided amongst over ten railway companies, with each company constructing no more than 200 kiloters of railway tracks.
Although there are many companies involved in the construction, Australasia’s Transportation Departnt has clear specifications for New Guinea’s Circum-Island railway, so there’s no need to worry about inconsistencies in the standards used by the different railway companies.
This support for dostic private railway companies helps these small-scale private enterprises grow, given that the railway they build complies with the specifications and quality requirents.
Compared to other foreign countries, the prospects for the developnt of private enterprises in Australasia are generally better.
Due to various reasons, Australasia was neither affected by World War I nor the influenza outbreak, making its economic developnt relatively stable.
During the influenza outbreak, at least tens of thousands of small- and dium-sized enterprises went bankrupt in the United States, a shocking figure.
Although many small and dium-sized enterprises in Australasia also went bankrupt, the governnt quickly took asures to ensure that the number of bankrupt companies remained in the triple digits.
In the end, it was thanks to Arthur’s prior precautions that the epidemic did not affect the major cities in Australasia, as it was mostly contained at the ports.
Even in large cities like Sydney and lbourne, despite more than half a year having passed since the discovery of the flu, the total number of people infected did not exceed 1000.
Apart from these two regions where new railways need to be built, other regions do not require large-scale railway construction, and it can be handled by a railway company under the royal financial group.
The royal financial group has grown into a trendous entity, and saying that it is rich enough to rival the wealth of a nation is by no ans an exaggeration.

However, there is one positive aspect: the revenue the royal financial group contributes to the governnt each year even surpasses that of populous states like Victoria State and New South Wales State.
The royal financial group is very strict about tax paynts, and even so taxes that could be avoided are fully paid under Arthur’s orders.
In fact, this is equivalent to robbing Peter to pay Paul. The large amount of tax the royal financial group pays to the governnt is basically used for the country’s developnt.
The strength of the royal financial group is a good thing for Arthur just as a strong Australasia is an even better thing for him.
Furthermore, a considerable part of the royal financial group’s businesses are co-run with the governnt, including newly established companies like the Royal Oil Company, which is the result of joint funding by the royal financial group and the governnt.
This arrangent provides the governnt with increased tax revenue and inco, so governnt officials have no complaints about the massive royal financial group.
Public sentint towards the royal financial group is primarily supportive. After all, the employee benefits and welfare of all the companies under the royal financial group are the best in Australia. Not only do they strictly adhere to the eight-hour work system and pay double wages on holidays, they also distribute gifts and supplies for free during festivities.
In addition, each year, Arthur channels a substantial portion of the royal financial group’s inco to the Royal Relief Committee to provide for all low-inco individuals, orphans, and the elderly in Australasia.
Most of the nursing hos and orphanages in Australasia were established and funded by the Royal Relief Committee, and they take in orphans and elderly residents free of charge.
Although life in these orphanages and nursing hos may not be luxurious, they provide enough to ensure individuals are well-fed and clothed.
As a result of the large sums of money that Arthur spends on the public every year, the people have no complaints about the royal financial group, which is making a fortune every day.
After all, a significant portion of the inco from the royal financial group is directly returned to the people, which is considerably better than the greed of capitalists.
In fact, it makes sense. Australasia’s pension, free supply distribution, orphanages, nursing hos, education subsidies and scholarships, dical subsidies and reductions, and policies supporting low-inco individuals are all made possible due to the contributions from the royal financial group.
By virtue of the enormous funds that the royal financial group gives back to the public each year, amounting to tens of millions of Australian dollars, the public’s opinion of the financial group is invariably high.
Besides dostic large-scale construction, Arthur also plans to further upgrade dostic education and healthcare.
Firstly, Australasia’s education system. After more than a decade of developnt, education in Australasia has been relatively successful.
The average educational level has been raised to junior high school and above, and the number of university students is no longer as pitiful as it was at the founding of the nation.
The aspects of education that need further strengthening are the number of universities and technical schools in Australasia.
As the population grows, it is necessary to increase the number of universities. Especially since Australasia’s administrative regions were redefined, each new administrative region must have a university, as a basic guarantee.
Aside from increasing the number of universities, raising their international standing is also necessary.
The best current solution is to increase resources for universities, hire more professors and experts from Europe, and construct more advanced laboratories.
Major investnts in education cannot be avoided, as after all, education is the foundation of a strong country.
