Chapter 270: The Development of Industry and Airplanes

The industrial development of Australasia has always been smooth, especially under the dual aid of Germany and the United Kingdom, the construction of industry has always been on the rise.

Up to now, Australia's annual total steel output has reached slightly over 3.1 million tons, of which the annual output of iron is 1.7971 million tons, and the annual output of steel is 1.3142 million tons.

Although the number of steel output looks a lot, it currently just slightly surpasses the level of the last of the great powers, Italy, and is less than half of that of Russia and France in the same period, and slightly more than one-fifth of that of Britain.

Even though it has surpassed a traditional European power like Italy, Arthur still doesn't feel the least bit joyful.

Although Italy is said to be one of the European powers, it only sounds impressive. Its actual status is definitely at the bottom of the European powers - it's perhaps only slightly better than the current island nation.
