The Rise Of Australasia

Although Arthur knew that this was a drug that could greatly change humanity, he could not make a decision without sufficient convincing experimental results.

After all, the current casualties in Australasia were not significant, and the demand for mass production of penicillin was not so high.

Since penicillin had already been discovered, purifying and mass-producing penicillin was not so difficult.

Under the massive funding of the Royal Financial Group, it was not difficult to accelerate the progress of penicillin mass production.

And now, Arthur was already considering what rewards to give to Flemington.

A Victoria Memorial Medal was certainly indispensable. This medal often represented an honorary knight's title and a yearly subsidy of 5200 Australian dollars.

In addition to a reward of 500,000 Australian dollars, a villa in the Sydney City Centre, and improvements in employment treatment, these were pretty much the rewards Arthur planned for Flemington.

Do not underestimate this Victoria Memorial Medal. Since Arthur issued this medal, this was the first time a citizen was awarded this medal, which showed how difficult it was to get the Victoria Memorial Medal.

In fact, improving the specifications of the three medals and ensuring their gold content has always been Arthur's plan.

Up to now, let alone the Victoria Memorial Medal, including the Royal Knight Medal and the Australasian National Medal, the total number of people who received the medals could be counted on one hand.

As for the title of honorary knight, so far only three people have received it.

Besides the great first Prime Minister Evan, there were also Sir Silvio and Sir Fritz, the commanders of the First and Second Divisions, who were rewarded when Arthur wanted to quickly establish a military industrial system in the Australasian Army.

This meant that Flemington was very likely to become the fourth knight in Australasia and join the aristocracy system of Australasia.

Of course, the aristocracy system of Australasia might expand after World War I.

After all, the interests of the nobility and the monarch are the same. Only by having more aristocratic classes can the interests of Arthur and the royal family be protected.

Especially these new nobles dubbed by Arthur himself, they must support Arthur's rule to maintain their own rights.

With Arthur's support, their rights and status could be maintained in Australasia.

This was quite different from the traditional European aristocrats; the new aristocrats of Australasia were just nobles with empty titles, with no actual territories and no military forces.

Moreover, because they were new nobles, they had no foundation at all. Their only way to maintain their rights and status was to unite under Arthur's rule and protect the monarchism of Australasia.

After all, if the monarchism of Australasia were gone, these nobles bestowed by Arthur would naturally disappear.

Nobles could never be separate from the monarch, who is the greatest noble and the representative of all nobles.

In order to win over all the nobles, although the new nobles of Australasia did not have any territories, they could receive a sum of funds from the royal family every year according to their title level (honorary knights could receive three times the per capita annual income of the year).

If their noble rank was high enough, they could also obtain a not-so-large piece of land bestowed by Arthur to build their private estates and castles.

This meant that Australasia's new nobility, as long as they were obedient and knew how to safeguard the interests of the royal family, could live well and at least be wealthy.

Arthur also planned to establish a joint consortium among the nobles, with the royal financial group giving up a portion of its profits each year to some grand nobles, completely winning over the aristocratic classes of Australasia.

Of course, this was still far away for Australia at the moment. After all, there were no grand nobles in Australasia (except Arthur himself), and only three Honorary Knights, so there was no need to establish a nobles' united consortium.
