Chapter 338: The British Delegation Arrives

On February 3, 1913, the Australasian Conscription Act was officially promulgated.

The Act stipulates that all male legal citizens who are 18 years old and under 30 years, except for students, medical workers, scientific researchers, educators and other important fieldworkers, must participate in militarized training twice a year.

Theoretically, the military training is conducted in July and October each year, lasting half a month each time.

During this half-month of military training, everything from formation training to gunnery training is covered.

Although these trained individuals will not quickly become qualified soldiers within a short period, they are more prepared compared to ordinary people who have never received any military training.

For Australasia now, Arthur does not intend to mobilize millions of troops all at once.

This would not only damage the country's potential for development, but the enormous military would also put a strain on the government's finances.
