Entering the Scene One After Another

To be honest, Australasia had been somewhat lax in its efforts to recruit talent from Europe and America.

After all, Australasia had taken the lead in aircraft, tanks, Aircraft Carriers, rockets, and other fields, which meant it was not as desperate for European and American talent.

Attracting immigrants had been the main topic in recent years. Although the recruitment of technical talent had also continued, the effort was considerably weaker than before.

It was only after William Edward Boeing raised the issue that Arthur realized Australasia's greatest gap with the United States was not population or economic strength, but its reserve of mid-level talent accumulated over many years.

American technology might lag behind Australasia's in aircraft and tanks, but the United States possessed a far greater reserve of mid-level talent.

This phenomenon could be seen clearly in the major private companies. Australasia had far fewer private enterprises than the United States. Besides the population difference, its shortage of mid-level talent was another important reason.

Although top talent determined the direction in which an industry developed, mid-level talent was equally important.

After all, top talent had its own uses, and mid-level talent had its own uses as well.

Only when a country had a large reserve of technical talent, with sufficient numbers of top-level, mid-level, and junior personnel, could it shine in a particular field of research.

Australasia currently lacked that foundation. Although it had made some progress, it could easily be overtaken by Europe and America.

To secure its advantages, it not only had to continue recruiting top talent, but also cultivate its own mid-level personnel and fill the vacancies in small and medium-sized private enterprises.

Only when state-owned and private enterprises, along with top-level and mid-level talent, worked together would every industry in Australasia truly bloom everywhere.
