Chapter 281 Talent Program

Things happened just as Arthur expected. All the words Arthur said were printed and sold to all parts of the British Empire by those newspapers and media in a short time.

Of course, the first place to cause a reaction was naturally London. As the capital of the British Empire, London's population has naturally exceeded one million, even reaching a terrifying 7.256 million.

In other words, the population of London is already more than half of the total population of Australasia, which is enough to show how developed and huge the capital of the most powerful country in the world is.

Given that London has such a large population, it is conceivable that Arthur's words in front of the royal mausoleum caused a sensation in London.

Especially the sentence "Here are my father and grandmother, and now there is my uncle", which instantly classified the powerful Arthur into the scope of the vulnerable group.

In addition, Arthur deliberately let those media deepen their impression of the poverty gap between Britain and Australasia, resulting in many British people believing that Arthur still lives in a relatively poor country under the extensive reports of these media.

Although many more rational people have begun to explain that Australasia is no longer so poor after ten years of development, and even various constructions have been developed.

But after all, those media reports have become the initial impression. Some British people have learned that the per capita income in Australasia is only 47 Australian dollars, which is only a little more than 23 pounds, which is less than half of the current per capita income in the UK.

This also made many British people more agree with the impression of Australasia's poverty, and they began to sympathize with Arthur.

Even from the next day, many British people who got the news began to march on the streets of London, demanding that the government increase its support for Australasia and not let Queen Victoria's favorite grandson suffer in Australasia.

Arthur has always left a good impression on the British, and Arthur's previous words have completely detonated the public opinion of the entire British people.

Starting from June 19, marches began to be held around London, demanding that the government not be stingy and increase its support for Australasia.

Seeing that the momentum of this public opinion was very good, Arthur nodded with satisfaction and ordered the media controlled by Australasia to stop the action.

Next, let the British public opinion ferment on its own. More guidance will make this public opinion suspicious.

The public opinion and demonstrations that broke out among the British people soon attracted the attention of the British authorities and reactionary forces.

In addition to the interests of the British people themselves, there are not many people who let the British people spontaneously march for them. Before, it was Queen Victoria, and not long ago it was Edward VII.

I didn't expect Arthur to be one of them, and Arthur only said a few words.

But the British government has no time experience, because if they don't handle this matter properly, it will also become a pretext for the Conservative Party to attack the Liberal Party.

After all, this is an incident that affects hundreds of thousands of British people in London and surrounding areas. If it is allowed to ferment, I am afraid that the marching team will expand to hundreds or even millions of people.

After all, at any time, the people follow the crowd. If public opinion is allowed to ferment, even if there are not many people who really want to do something for Arthur, the marching team will continue to expand.

George V, who was in Buckingham Palace, naturally heard about the public opinion that broke out in Britain in recent times.

George V was very surprised at Arthur's popularity in Britain. If Arthur had not become the King of Australasia, George V would have worried about whether his position would be affected.

Arthur did not need to show up for the next negotiation, and the task was handed over to Prime Minister Walter and Foreign Minister Andrew.

Arthur only needed to listen to Prime Minister Walter and Foreign Minister Andrew's reports on the progress of the negotiation every day, and then express his opinions.

Of course, this did not mean that Arthur would be idle. In fact, after David, the head of European royal affairs, asked to see Arthur, he gave Arthur a list of senior British talents that could be recruited in recent years.

There were many people on this list before, and David, the head of the group, recruited some of them for Australasia after many efforts.

Some of them went to the United States and other regions, and some of them were more loyal to Britain and were not willing to leave the British Empire at present.

The above people have naturally left the list, and the rest are either some new talents on the list, or some are more deeply rooted and need Arthur to come forward in person.

Arthur took a quick look at the list. Most of the people on the list were physicists and chemists, as well as medical scientists, botanists, historians, novelists, artists and military scientists.

Basically, there were all kinds of talents, and the details of their information had even been spread to the parents and children of the talents.

Of course, there was also information about where they lived, what they liked to eat, and what they were interested in. This was enough to prove that the chief steward David had investigated these people in great detail.

This was good news, which could effectively increase the probability of winning over these people.

After some searching, Arthur still found some familiar names among them.

Among them were British microbiologist Wright and his disciple Alexander Fleming.

Wright's name may not be known to many people, but his disciple, the famous Alexander Fleming, was a name Arthur was very familiar with.

The reason was that Alexander Fleming was a famous British microbiologist who first discovered penicillin in 1928.

Needless to say, the role of penicillin is a powerful bactericidal drug that humans can find. It even ended the era when infectious diseases were almost untreatable and created a climax in the search for new antibiotics.

Alexander Fleming, who first discovered penicillin, naturally made contributions to mankind and human medicine.

As a drug that can greatly reduce casualties during wartime, penicillin is absolutely strategic for any country.

Arthur made a prompt decision and decided to invite Dr. Wright first.

There is another story that must be told about why he invited Dr. Wright instead of inviting Alexander Fleming first.

Alexander Fleming's path to study was also quite bumpy. He first went to London to work with his brother at the age of 13, and then unexpectedly received a legacy from his uncle, which enabled him to enter St. Mary's Medical School, University of London to study.

After graduating in 1906, Fleming stayed in the laboratory of St. Mary's Medical School to help his teacher Dr. Wright conduct immunology research.

So far, Fleming still stays in Dr. Wright's laboratory and is Dr. Wright's most capable assistant.

The real reason why Fleming chose to stay in Dr. Wright's laboratory was that with his current academic qualifications and reputation, it was impossible for him to obtain the right to use the laboratory without the help of Dr. Wright.

Dr. Wright was a relatively tolerant and gentle person. He allowed his assistant Fleming to conduct scientific research independently according to his own interests, of course, without interfering with his own research and work.

This gave Fleming more independent research space and allowed Fleming to experience more growth during this period.

As early as a year ago, Fleming independently began to try to vaccinate acne and successfully improved the cumbersome retrieval procedures for syphilis.

This also made Fleming one of the few doctors who mastered the advanced technology of intravenous injection during this period. He was even the only one who could inject the latest therapeutic drugs for syphilis patients in London.

It was precisely because of Fleming's achievements that he gained a preliminary reputation in the academic world, and also made David, the steward, notice Fleming and add him to the list of talents to be recruited.

It is worth mentioning that even though Fleming independently obtained many research results, he did not deviate from Wright's research scope. Under Wright's guidance, he did a lot of research work on phagocytes, opsonins, typhoid bacteria, etc., which greatly increased his ability and knowledge.

Arthur would naturally not let go of such talents.

During the negotiations between Minister Walter and Minister Andrew and the British government, Arthur, led by General Manager David, visited Dr. Wright's laboratory and easily made Dr. Wright and Alexander Fleming agree to go to Australasia to work.

The reason why it was so smooth was, of course, the result of Arthur's use of his status and a lot of money.

It was normal for Dr. Wright to make a quick decision when the head of a country personally invited him, plus more salary and more favorable conditions.

And Alexander Fleming naturally did not mind going to Australasia. After all, what he valued was his own experimental environment and experimental funds, as well as the help he could provide to himself.

Australasia could give him all these, and even gave him much more help than Dr. Wright gave him.

The first attempt to attract talents was a complete success, which made Arthur feel very good.

Looking at the list, the next person to be attracted is Henry Moseley, a person with outstanding talents but not a prominent reputation.

Henry Moseley was a famous British physicist and chemist in the original history, who discovered Moseley's law.

The real reason why Moseley is not so famous is that he gave up his job in 1914 and joined the Royal Engineers.

But it was this decision that ruined his life, which should have been brilliant.

On August 10, 1915, Moseley was killed by a Turkish sniper while conveying orders by telephone as a technical officer. He was only 27 years old.

A famous American science writer once wrote this: "From the perspective of Moseley's scientific achievements, his sacrifice should be the most costly sacrifice of mankind."

Based on Moseley's research results, British physicist Charles Barkla won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1917 for discovering X-ray diffraction in various metal elements.

Ernest Rutherford said of Moselet's achievements: "The first two years of his research career were enough to win him a Nobel Prize." In the eyes of many scientists, if Moselet, who died young at the age of 27, had lived, he would have made greater contributions to the study of atomic structure.

If Moselet had the foundation of Einstein and a large number of physicists and chemists, Arthur believed that it would not be impossible for Australasia to invent the atomic bomb earlier than the original history.
