In fact, as those military industry experts expected, Arthur's rewards were very generous, and each of them received a check for 2000 pounds.
Although this included outstanding talents and researchers like the German experts, their salaries were also very generous, with annual incomes reaching several hundred or even thousands of pounds.
But that doesn't mean they didn't like money, especially when it was several years' salary for nothing.
For the Australian military experts, it goes without saying that despite many of them coming from the United Kingdom to Australia, their salaries were not very high, with an average income of just over 300 pounds. For them, the 2000-pound check was equivalent to six or seven years' worth of income.
In fact, Arthur didn't have to give so much. He could have given different bonuses to the German experts and the Australian military experts.
