"What is the current status of our steel factory and arms factory?" Asher asked the question he was equally concerned about.
The steel factory could be ignored for now because Australia could build more and more steel factories at any time with those equipment available, but it would take some time for the workers to become proficient at their jobs through training.
However, the military factory was different. In this era when military technology had not yet taken off, the most advanced weapons available were machine guns and firearms.
Duke Arthur, the former commander-in-chief of Ireland, naturally became very interested in weapons and equipment, and founded the Connaught Integrated Military Factory.
What is an integrated military factory? It is a large military factory that integrates the research and development of light and heavy weapons and firearms.
Most of the employees in this military factory were even excavated by Duke Arthur from the Enfield Royal Small Arms Factory.
