The Rise Of Australasia-Chapter 1027 - 773: Strategy, Please Step into the Trap_2

On the contrary, as the first step and free movie, this film was almost irreplaceable in the hearts of the people, with several free screenings held each year, and free movie tickets were even hard to come by.

To facilitate capital from both domestic and international sources to reach Sydney, the television exposition was scheduled for a little over two months later, specifically in mid-April 1931.

In nearly two and a half months of preparation time, Baird Television Company had to produce enough television sets for the exhibition and ensure that the quality of these sets matched the test units, capable of stably receiving broadcast signals and displaying the images.

At the same time, the movie company had to produce "Dream of Australasia" in the form of broadcast waves and test the stability of the wave output.

Besides, a relatively stable output platform had to be constructed on-site at the exposition to ensure stable signal transmission and reception.

Only by achieving these objectives could the television exposition be successfully held in two and a half months. It was for this reason that Arthur placed great importance on these preparations and commanded the participating enterprises to work diligently and carefully inspect everything during this period.

Both the television industry and the vast market represented by television were reasons enough for Arthur to take the exposition very seriously.

Of course, he had confidence in Baird's achievements in the realm of television and in Australasia's current leading position worldwide.

First of all, in the research of televisions, Australasia had taken fewer detours and was one step ahead.

In the current research and development of television, there were two different paths. Much like the radio, there were two different approaches to television: mechanical television and electronic television.

But the issue was that people's expectations for a television would not be as simple as those for a radio.

What else could one expect from a radio? Besides receiving various audio programs reliably, it was just about having a bit clearer sound quality.

Both types of radios could easily meet these demands, and under such circumstances, the less expensive radio model was bound to be more popular with the people.

Television was different. In addition to sounding, it also transmitted images in real-time to viewers.

This visual experience, which could be seen with one's own eyes, offered a completely different effect depending on the display technology.

The clarity, smoothness, and brightness of the picture were very important and were key factors in the impression televisions made on the people.

Under such demands, mechanical televisions were doomed to be phased out, even in the short term.

If it weren't for Arthur's intervention, not only foreign developers but also Baird initially developed mechanical televisions.

Mechanical televisions not only had a smaller screen for displaying images, but also had limited scope for improvement and were quite cumbersome, which made transportation and movement inconvenient.

Electronic televisions, however, were different. Although their screens were not much larger, they were significantly bigger than those of mechanical televisions.

More importantly, although electronic televisions also seemed quite bulky, two people could move the set, which was something mechanical televisions could never accomplish.

This was the real reason why Arthur allowed Australasian television research and development to take shortcuts. While most other countries focused primarily on mechanical televisions, Australasia could maintain its industry lead for several years.

The affairs of the television exposition were left to a few enterprises to manage, and Arthur did not have the time to be in charge of preparing for this event personally.

Moreover, it was rather unusual for a king to personally prepare for an event, and it did not match Arthur's status and position.

While most of the tasks were already delegated to William, there were still some governmental affairs that William could not decide alone and needed Arthur's judgment.

Currently, what Arthur is most concerned about is, of course, the international situation. Besides the tense situation in Europe, the war that Russia is undergoing is also a focal point of Arthur's concern.

Especially since Arthur decided to obtain imperial legitimacy by inheriting Russia's legal principles, the war in Russia has become very important to him.

In other words, if Nicholas II were to win this war, then all of Arthur's preparatory work for establishing imperial legitimacy might go down the drain.

Of course, such a possibility is very slim. Based on the current situation, the inevitable failure of Nicholas II's rule is a foregone conclusion.

But it's not the fault of Nicholas II alone; rather, it's the fault of the Tsardom of Russia, an empire that had persisted for hundreds of years. It is the result of the accumulated misguided choices of successive tsars.

It can only be said that the country was too decrepit and was doomed to be weeded out by the times. The Romanov Family's rule over Russia for hundreds of years has reached the time to return power to the Russian people.

Of course, this doesn't mean that another Russian rule would be stable. For starters, from the perspective of political systems, Europe certainly wouldn't want to see this Russia rise.

After all, this not only represents a conflict in terms of political systems but also the rise of a new uncontrollable superpower.

Humans, of course, dislike uncontrollable factors. Compared to the controllable Nicholas II and Tsarist Russia, this uncontrollable and threatening country will be feared by other nations for a long time in the future.

Especially when this country manifests enough potential, it might face hostility from all European nations.

Even without exaggeration, if Russia were to display potential like it did historically, Arthur and Australasia could also become enemies of this Russia.

Interests determine everything. For Arthur, his own interests and the interests of the country come above all else.

There are no eternal friends, and no eternal enemies. Should that day really come, Arthur might form an alliance with any country to eliminate this potential threat, including the United Kingdom, which has already become a potential enemy of Australasia.

Of course, that day is still a long way off. Economically benefiting from the crisis is Australasia, and this indicates that it will take the other Russia a longer time and more human and material resources to recover rapidly.

Even by the time World War II breaks out, whether Russia can recover from World War I and the civil war remains a question.

This is one of Arthur's concerns. Although the current Germany is weaker compared to its historical counterpart, Germany's enemies are also comparatively weaker than they were historically.

The United States has already vanished, replaced by Australasia, which is somewhat lesser in stature.

In World War II, Australasia's major enemy will be the Island Nation, meaning that in the European Battlefield, Britain and France will need to withstand the onslaught of Germany.

Looking at the allies of Britain and France, there's hardly a reliable country to count on. Although Britain has also become somewhat stronger compared to history, whether Britain can fend off the Germans on their own is still an unknown that Arthur worries about.

However, this is indeed an opportunity for the rise of Australasia. The future World War II is destined to be a conflict between Britain, France, and Germany, with other countries only playing a supporting role.

If Germany can deplete much of Britain and France's strength, Australasia will naturally become the new world leader.

By then, through some exchange of interests, they could obtain some regions that Arthur has his eye on, such as the Persian Gulf and the Strait Colonies.

After Britain and France's strength has been significantly reduced, China might be the only remaining country to pose a threat to Australasia, apart from this Russia, which is still at war.

However, with prolonged research in military technology and the study of nuclear weapons, Arthur believes he will not lose in the struggle for dominance.
