And the CA1928 105mm semi-automatic artillery piece was actually developed collaboratively between Australasia and Germany as its predecessor, the GA1906 model.
This was a large-caliber semi-automatic artillery piece modeled after the M1897 cannon and was, overall, quite successful.
But after all, it was a product from over twenty years ago, so the CA1928 105mm semi-automatic artillery was essentially a new product improved by the Royal Military Factory.
If nothing unexpected happens, the next large-scale war should see the Australasia Army extensively equipped with CA1928 105mm semi-automatic artillery, M1928 150mm howitzers, M1922 75mm semi-automatic artillery, and CA-2 27mm anti-aircraft guns.
The first three types of artillery are ant to suppress enemy forces with firepower, while the anti-aircraft guns are specifically designed to combat enemy airplanes.
In addition, Australasia’s light and heavy machine guns can also be modified into anti-aircraft guns, effectively providing a certain degree of air defense firepower.
After all, true air defense relies on one’s own airplanes, and securing air superiority over a particular area is the real key.
Rather than shooting down planes with artillery and machine guns, Arthur clearly preferred to directly eliminate enemy planes with his own aircraft to achieve complete and utter air superiority.
Sure enough, as soon as the news of the two artillery pieces was released, it imdiately caused a frenzy among the army units.
Because the number of the military had increased significantly, it was impossible to equip all units with these artillery pieces at once.

Beyond the already existing few divisions, the new army units would undoubtedly have to compete for these weapons and equipnt.
Given similar levels of training, the side with more new weapons and equipnt would surely have stronger combat capabilities.
As for a suitable candidate the position of the Royal Commando special forces commander, Arthur did not have a good choice for the ti being.
After much consideration, Arthur still felt that the forr Pri Minister Kent was quite suitable. Although Kent’s political career was much longer than his military one, this did not an that Kent was weak in military affairs.
As the first Minister of Defence of Australia, Kent himself graduated from a Military University and had undergone frequent advanced studies at various universities, making him a rather versatile talent.
Entrusting the special forces temporarily to Kent for training and managent, Arthur was quite reassured.
They could replace him with a more suitable candidate in the future; after all, training special forces was also a learning process for Arthur, so it wouldn’t hurt to let Kent, a Military University graduate, have a try.
After all, before the official training of the Royal Commandos, the task was to select the most suitable individuals to beco special soldiers from among the hundreds of thousands of troops.
Choosing only 200 out of hundreds of thousands, and selecting the most potential and capable soldiers in a fair manner, would be the biggest challenge for Kent.
Arthur certainly would not initiate a conflict before the British acted, allowing him to quickly shift his focus to dostic developnt.
Without the imdiate threat of war, Arthur’s definite course of action was to carry out various constructions in Australasia, enhancing both the potential and the overall strength of the nation, providing a foundation for future endeavors.
Logically, the sixth Cabinet Governnt should have ended its term in the middle of last year, with the seventh Cabinet Governnt already in office by now.
However, due to the economic crisis, Arthur quite naturally announced a one-year delay, causing the Cabinet election to be postponed to this year.
The economy has fully recovered this year, allowing the Cabinet election to proceed smoothly.
Arthur looked forward to the establishnt of the seventh Cabinet Governnt, as each replacent of the Cabinet marked further progress in Australasia’s developnt.
The diligent efforts of six Cabinet Governnts have created the Australasia of today, and Arthur witnessed the growth and strengthening of Australasia during those six administrations.
Borrowing the words of foreign dia regarding Arthur’s status in Australasia: "He created and witnessed the developnt of the country; in their eyes, he is the entire nation."
This statent is not at all an exaggeration and perfectly encapsulates Arthur’s standing within Australasia.
It is precisely because of Arthur’s deliberate influence that he and the country are inextricably linked.
Arthur represented the country, and this was the real reason why the royal family’s position was so stable at the ti.
However, on the other hand, due to the high degree of association between the royal family and the nation, both Arthur himself and the entire royal family were prosperous when the nation prospered, and suffered when the nation suffered.
In terms of Arthur’s personal prestige and status, even without the royal financial group and the military, from a purely political perspective, no one could contend with Arthur.
Arthur’s position in Australasia had surpassed that of Queen Victoria in the United Kingdom; Australasians were willing to fight for Arthur, even at the cost of their own lives.
Although the Cabinet elections were scheduled for between May and June, the whole of Australasia started bustling from April onwards.
The governnt’s electoral system underwent continuous changes, and Arthur was also constantly exploring the most suitable election thod for Australasia.
The current thod of election was not much different from before, where each House of Representatives mber could nominate candidates for various Cabinet positions, and those receiving the highest votes would secure the final Cabinet positions.
However, the election for Pri Minister could only be contested by previous Cabinet mbers and candidates from parties with more than five seats in the House of Representatives, which increased the difficulty of running for Pri Minister.
The new rule undoubtedly weakened Arthur’s power compared to the previous rule that allowed him to nominate the Pri Minister.
But this was sothing Arthur was pleased to see, as it began the process of diminishing royal power in so areas ahead of ti.
Despite this, the training of the several princes had been very successful so far. William, the nominal heir to the throne, had shown considerable talent and had even been acknowledged by Arthur as a potential good ruler.
But that didn’t hinder Arthur’s steps in weakening monarchical power, which was sothing that had to be completed before he abdicated.
Compared to Arthur’s limited and purposeful weakening of monarchical power, if the next ruler were to do so, it was likely to be under duress.
By that ti, Australasia might end up like the Netherlands when it established its constitutional monarchy, with the monarch losing power overnight, almost all of it.
Instead of that, it was better for Arthur to weaken monarchical authority beforehand and define the king’s power within a manageable scope.
If the future monarch had the capability and prestige, they could completely obtain higher powers through the system established by Arthur.
If the future monarch’s abilities were subpar, their royal power would be greatly restricted, and they would carry out the role of a constitutional monarch securely and stably.
In doing so, it would be possible to empower the wise monarchs and disempower the diocre ones, thus making the position of the royal family even more solid.
Looking at the frawork and foundation that Arthur would leave for future monarchs, it appeared feasible for Australasia to beco one of the Powers and remain stable for several hundred years.
As long as they didn’t compete for the position of world superpower, the Australasian Royal Family would also remain stable.
As for matters several hundred years in the future, those were unpredictable for Arthur, and naturally, it was impossible to make advance preparations for such a distant ti.
On the other hand, a few hundred years of rule might be sufficient; after all, the later generations of monarchs wouldn’t have much of a blood relation to Arthur.
At least for the present Arthur, how to handle his children who had already co of age was of utmost importance.
Both William and Anna Miller were born in 1909 and had reached 18 years old, definitely qualifying as adults.
About the division of Titles of Nobility for William and Anna, Arthur had not yet decided; indeed, creating such titles was a headache-inducing problem.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a matter of deciding titles for several sons all at once; at least there was ti to plan and prepare.
Arthur was quite confident in William’s abilities; the next King of Australasia was essentially going to be William.
It was also decided to create a title exclusively for the heir to the throne, like the Prince of Wales in Britain.
The Crown Prince would automatically receive this title, which would also represent the Crown Prince, specifically designated for the next successor to the throne.
