Rebirth of England.

Chapter 785 The mainstay
"Honey……"

"what happened, Babe?"

"I am pregnant."

After Barron discussed the acquisition of Motorola Mobility with Ivanta, he finally heard this news from Ivanta.

"you sure?"

"Yes, I went to a reliable clinic to check it out."

"That's...that's great, baby."

This news was too sudden, but it was not surprising. After all, there had been no measures between Barron and Ivanta.

Moreover, the other women who have been with Barron have all become pregnant one after another. Relatively speaking, Ivanta has been with him relatively early, so it is normal for her to be pregnant now.

"We... dear, I mean, with what identity should we let the child come into this world?"

"Don't worry, baby, we will all give him enough love and make him the happiest child in the world..."

Barron said to Ivanta:

"After a while, after New Year's Day, I will go to America, and then we will solve this matter, okay?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Barron naturally understood what Ivanta meant. Before this, he and Ivanta had had several conversations about the topic of having children.

And although Ivanta had not asked in detail, she was more or less aware of the existence of Barron's other children.

Now Barron can feel that after she actually became pregnant, her mentality seems to have changed.

Of course, this kind of thing is definitely difficult to explain over the phone, but soon after New Year's Day, Barron and his friends will leave London and go to Australia to spend the winter as before.

At that time, he can go to America and have a good talk with Ivanta about this matter.

……

Just before Christmas, Barron was still in one of his villas, entertaining children of different ages.

The oldest of these children is already eighteen or nineteen years old, and the youngest is only fourteen or fifteen years old...

They are all orphans adopted by the Devonshire Charity Foundation around the world. After receiving basic education at the International School in Colo, the best performing ones will receive continued funding from Barron and be sent to the best high schools in the UK until they complete their university studies.

The earliest group of them, the children who came to England with Rami, have successfully entered university - of course, Rami is the best among them. He has already completed the university courses and is now able to be solely responsible for an investment fund of DS Group.

At this moment, these children, having dinner with the Duke Barron, who is also their sponsor, heard his words of encouragement and looked at him with gratitude and admiration. Just as Barron had considered before, many of his companies and projects are currently managed by professional managers he found through headhunting companies.

Maybe some of those who followed him earlier will be more loyal, but this also varies from person to person - many times, it is difficult to strike a balance between loyalty and ability.

Therefore, relatively speaking, these children around him are the guarantee for the continuation of his family and career in the future, or even further, become the heirs of his spirit and ideals.

Since being adopted, these orphans have received basic education in the international school in Colo. Those who are gifted in learning and have excellent academic performance will be sent to England to continue to receive better educational conditions.

The other children will also be arranged according to their areas of expertise - for example, some of them have already joined the Protector Military Service Company.

Since they started at the international school, these people have been instilled with gratitude and admiration for His Royal Highness the Duke Barron. It can be said that their loyalty to Barron is the highest.

The children sitting next to Barron now have different appearances and skin colors, but because of their special experiences, they are just like a family to each other.

I believe that in a few years, these people will gradually enter Barron's various industries and gradually play the role of backbone.

……

"We have sent people to negotiate with the Royal Arsenal in Leeds and are preparing to acquire this arsenal that is on the verge of bankruptcy..."

Although before Barron's rebirth, people had the impression that Britain's military industry was no longer as good as before, at this time, Britain can still often rank second in the list of global countries' arms sales.

Especially BAE Systems, the largest military-industrial enterprise in the UK, which was formed in 1999 by the merger of British Aerospace (BAE) and Marconi Electronic Systems. In 2000, after the merger, BAE Systems ranked third among the world's 100 largest military companies.

In 2007, BAE Systems completed the largest acquisition in its history, acquiring American Armor Holdings, doubling its armored vehicle business and becoming the world's largest ground weapons and equipment manufacturer.

In 2008, BAE Systems surpassed Boeing of the United States and became the "world's largest arms company" that year with annual sales of US$324 billion.

Therefore, it can be said that Britain is still quite powerful in some military industries.

As for the Royal Arsenal in England, it was already very famous during World War I and World War II, and had produced many classic firearms and artillery.

However, with the intensification of competition and the iteration of weapons and equipment, some arsenals are no longer as good as before - such as the Royal Arsenal in Leeds they mentioned. Due to the decline in sales, its production capacity was once reduced, and now it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The reason why Barron took a fancy to this arsenal was that although the products of this arsenal had become difficult to be purchased by the military due to the trend of refinement and modernization of the British army, at least in the production of some firearms and ammunition, this arsenal was still sufficient to cope with it.

According to their plan, after completing the acquisition, they would only retain basic staffing in Leeds, and move the corresponding equipment and technicians of the "Royal Arsenal" to Colo, where they would build a new factory.

This will not only ensure that the Kolo Corps and the Protector Military Services Company can achieve self-sufficiency in basic equipment such as bullets, artillery shells, and grenades, but will also allow them to continue to increase production and enter the arms market in West Africa and even Africa.

After all, although some of the firearms of this royal arsenal are a little "outdated", at least there is no problem in imitating some classic gun models, such as the AK series rifles that are very popular in Africa...
