Chapter 546: Christmas Broadcast Test

Arthur's command in Australasia was an absolute directive, everything had to give way for Arthur's orders.

After notifying the government, the royal shipyard quickly received the funds for the construction of three R108-class battleships. The construction cost for each R108-class battleship was as high as 9.51 million Australian dollars. With the additional expenses of urgently mobilizing personnel, the total expenditure reached 30 million pounds.

In addition to the fast funding arriving, experts and technicians from the Melbourne Shipyard and the Oakland Shipyard were also urgently called up and rushed to Sydney.

If everything went as planned, they would spend at least two years in Sydney, ensuring that all three R108 battleships were completed within two years.

For these three battleships, except for the ongoing construction of aircraft carriers, the construction of other warships could be stopped.
