The Rise of Australasia

Chapter 646 -492: Disassembling the Royal Security Intelligence Agency_2

Furthermore, with the petroleum from the Persian Gulf Territory, Australasia has no deficiencies in resources. Upon the completion of North Water South Transfer, Australasia is destined to be a superpower.

However, for the current Australasia, how to rationally develop the existing land is a matter that deserves deep thought and long-term planning.

Australia and New Zealand regions naturally need no mention, being the two regions where Australasia has developed the most.

The Australian Region is the true core of the country, and New Zealand is an excellent pasture area and native land.

Apart from these two native regions, all other lands are either overseas territories or colonies.

Although the government has strong control over these overseas territories and colonies, a colony is still a colony, and no one can guarantee that accidents will not occur.

Colonial localization is the only choice for Australasia and a good way to strengthen the governance of these colonies.

Among them, all the lands in Southeast Asia need to be localized, as they are not far from the Australasian mainland. Localization will not add too much administrative burden.

Only after localization can all these lands be firmly controlled, as inherent territory cannot be divided by any country.

The first colony to be localized, or to be prioritized for development, is naturally the New Guinea Colony.

As the second largest island in the world, the development potential of the New Guinea Colony is immense.

Moreover, New Guinea possesses the water resources that are scarce in Australasia, which also means that the importance of New Guinea to Australasia is no less than that of New Zealand.

The first step in the localization of colonies is, naturally, to send a large number of immigrants to the New Guinea Colony.

Fortunately, after such a long period of development, the original Australian New Guinea Colony is home to a considerable number of Australasians.

German New Guinea has tens of thousands of Germans, and Dutch New Guinea has several thousand Dutchmen.

Upon integrating these populations, the number of Australasians in New Guinea barely surpasses 400,000.

Although this is still far from the goal of completely localizing New Guinea, it is much better than the situation over a decade ago.

Moreover, most of the indigenous people of New Guinea Island have already been completely expelled, with only a few remaining in the deep mountains, no different from wild people, their numbers already small and naturally not needing to be managed.

This represents that from now on, New Guinea Island is the inherent territory of Australasia, as all the inhabitants on the island are Australasians.

As the future important water source for Australasia, New Guinea is destined not to have large-scale heavy industries.

After all, heavy industries have a significant impact on the environment, and the water resources transported to the Australasian mainland will be used not only for industry but also for agricultural irrigation and drinking.

Such a large-scale water diversion project, not to mention the manpower and materials required for the construction, has a tremendous impact on the areas supplying water resources.

This is also equivalent to a region serving the entire country and contributing to the nation.

To inspect the construction progress in New Guinea, Arthur decided to visit New Guinea and attend the opening ceremony of the first large language school there.

Speaking of language schools, they have already become very common in Australasia, with enrollment almost full every year.

Language schools in Australasia have only one task, and that is to teach English to non-English speaking populations, allowing them to communicate fluently in English.

As an immigrant country, the ethnic composition of Australasia is diverse. A unified language is indeed necessary.

After such a long period of deployment, a considerable number of Russian immigrants have already mastered English, and this number is increasing at a rate of several hundred thousand every year.

These immigrants were quite eager to learn English, as they could only earn the minimum wage after mastering the language proficiently.

Being fluent or not in English in Australasia made a huge difference, which motivated more immigrants to learn the language.

Unifying the language was merely the first step for Arthur. The three main ethnic groups in Australasia were the British, Russians, and Germans.

For the sake of stability in Australasia, it was necessary to integrate these three ethnic groups into a single Australasian ethnicity.

After unifying the language, the most important step was to unify the lifestyle of all the people.

The differences in lifestyle could also distinguish the various ethnicities, after all, the customs of the British and Russians were entirely different, one believing in British Protestantism and the other in Eastern Orthodox Church.

Changing their lifestyle, the most crucial step was to change their religion. Under Arthur’s guidance, Archbishop Steed vigorously spread Australasian Protestantism throughout the region, trying to unify the religion of Australasia.

Once these immigrants used the same language and had a common lifestyle, they naturally became a new nationality.

Besides focusing on language and religion, Arthur’s actions in cultural influence had never stopped.

Apart from various patriotic films, Australasia was also filled with all kinds of entertaining movies, educational films, and dramas, enriching the recreational life of the Australasian people.

These entertaining films were also spreading wildly to Europe and other regions, exerting Australasian influence on the world in the field of cultural industry.

In the European region and the United States, Australasia’s three major film studios were already quite famous, which marked the success of the first step in the cultural influence of Australasia.

When it comes to cultural industry, Australasia’s cultural output was definitely world-class. With the help of the royal family, the three major film studios developed rapidly.

Various private film studios were also influenced by these three major ones, producing all sorts of movies and penetrating other countries.

Now and then, Arthur would come up with various ideas for entertaining films, which were never thought of by people at the time, and made Australasian entertainment films more popular worldwide.

Arthur occasionally watched movies, although not as shocking as the 3D or 4D films of later generations, but it was an immersive experience in the development history of cinema.

That being said, people of every era had different ideas, and now the crude sound films did not seem so attractive, but if you watched with your heart, some of the plots were pretty good.

Actors participating in the films were also playing their roles seriously, with no such thing as a stuntman, and filming their roles meticulously under scorching sun or severe winter.

This was also where the films of this era were better than those of later generations, as the actors received little pay, and the cost of the movies was primarily spent on script editing, scene setting, and story weaving.

In order to promote the tourist attractions of Australasia, a lot of movies about travel were filmed there, successfully making many sites popular.

Arthur had developed a scenic area at the original location of the Golden Coast and ordered it to be named Golden Coast, following history.

In reality, only this name could match the scenery, as the view at the Golden Coast made even Arthur somewhat infatuated on his first visit.

Especially when the sun was about to set, the setting sun transformed the entire beach into a golden color, with the sand shining like mounds of gold powder under the afterglow.

The azure and transparent sea, tall palm trees, and the soft sandy beach shining like gold created an idyllic destination in everyone’s mind, causing people to involuntarily become addicted to it, falling in love with the sea and the beach.

Following the success of the film titled Golden Coast, it became one of the most popular attractions in Australasia, attracting countless tourists during the comfortable season.

Not only did the tourists include Europeans and Americans who came from afar, but also the people of Australasia.

Many clever individuals set up numerous hotels and shops in the vicinity of this area, making a small fortune during its surge in popularity.

However, the real winner was Queensland State Government, which decided to build large amusement facilities and tourist amenities at the Golden Coast, making the area a true paradise on earth, the Golden Beach on the ocean.
