Bab 50: Chapter 50: Australian New Guinea

After hearing what Arthur said, everyone present fell into a frenzied celebration. Even the cabinet officials who had already entered the upper echelons of the government were all beaming with joy.

The peaceful expansion and development of the country were definitely what everyone wanted to see, not to mention the lands of British New Guinea and New Zealand, which were very close to Australia.

British New Guinea is located not far north of Australia, with a population of about 700,000.

The value of this land is not very high, and the population is not very large, but it can become an important gateway to the north of Australia and a stepping stone for spying on Southeast Asia.

To the west and northwest of British New Guinea lies the Dutch East Indies colony of the Netherlands.

The development potential of the Dutch East Indies should not be underestimated, with a total area of nearly two million square kilometers and a total population of over 20 million.
