Chapter 896: Chapter 667: The Concept of Self-propelled Artillery

Due to the proximity of National Day, the Cabinet rapidly passed the resolution for military expansion, and decided to announce it on National Day itself, officially starting the conscription process.

As usual, the conditions for conscription this time were quite stringent. In addition to physical fitness evaluations, recruits also had to undergo ideological and political screening, and only those who had resided in Australasia for more than five years were eligible to pass the conscription tests.

After all, compared to immigrants who were almost fully assimilated, the loyalty of those who had just arrived in Australasia within five years could not be guaranteed.

This was also the best way to differentiate new immigrants from old ones. It would not only prevent new immigrants from being dissatisfied with such regulations but would also allow old immigrants to easily join the military, a high-paying job.
