Rebirth of England.

Chapter 971 Expansion of scale
During this period, the first round of investigation into other members of Barron's previous security team has been completed. Through this investigation, no signs were found that other people were involved in this operation.

This includes an investigation of all information of these individuals and their families, including bank accounts, communication records, etc., and even further, background checks are conducted on everyone they have come into contact with within five years.

Of course, this is only the first round of investigation, and more detailed investigations will be carried out in the future.

Since these people have been basically cleared of suspicion, they have been released from quarantine.

However, for safety reasons, they can no longer join Barron's personal security team - by now, these people naturally understand what has happened.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Duke is safe and sound, otherwise, under the anger of all those with vested interests, it would be difficult for these people, whether innocent or not, to stay out of it.

Of course, the only regret is that they lost the well-paid job of being a member of His Royal Highness the Duke's personal security team.

But as professionals with rich relevant skills, these people will naturally make full use of their talents. They can stay at Munger Base as instructors, join the Protector Military Service Company, or choose to join the G4S Security Company.

It is up to them to decide based on their own wishes. No matter what, if they can get a position like a junior supervisor, it is already satisfactory.

In the past two years, as winter arrived in London, Barron and his family would go to Lanai, Hawaii to spend the winter.

However, because of the assassination attempt on Barron that just happened, for safety reasons, they will stay in London this winter and will not go overseas.

After all, although Barron has "reconciled" with certain American consortiums, the hostility between him and Mossad has not been resolved. After Britain announced the expulsion of two Israeli diplomats, although Israel expressed regret for this behavior and its ambassador to the UK also communicated with Britain on this matter, Britain still expressed a relatively tough stance towards Israel.

As we all know, Mossad is very good at terrorist attacks and assassinations, and Barron also needs to be on guard against this.

It's not that he doesn't trust his current security team, but at this time, there is no need to take risks. "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." From now until 2015, it is an important period for him to make plans for the next stage. He doesn't mind keeping a low profile for the time being.

Because of that incident, Barron missed the groundbreaking ceremony for the UK High Speed ​​Rail Line 2, which he had originally planned to attend after returning from Colo.

Currently, the High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2 has been contracted to a consortium of Chinese engineering companies, and the laying of rails has begun.

This time is different from the previous life. At that time, the route planning of High-speed Railway Line 2 was revised due to budget issues. In the end, it outlasted 6 prime ministers. When the seventh prime minister came to power, it was still a long way from completion...

According to China's plan, after detailed geological surveys, they will be divided into four engineering bases and constructed simultaneously.

That is to say, it will be built simultaneously in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.

The engineering team located in Birmingham, the central location, will be the largest, because the engineering base in Birmingham will be built in three directions of London, Manchester and Leeds at the same time.

Because the entire High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2 is in the shape of a Y, and Birmingham is located at the central intersection.

If it is built in this way, the progress of the entire project will be greatly accelerated, but at the same time, it will also be a great test for the organizational capabilities of the entire project construction.

The price quoted by the Chinese consortium for the construction of the entire high-speed rail line 2 and the high-speed rail station is far lower than the initial estimate of the British government. If the construction period can be shortened, then it can be said that the performance of the Chinese engineering construction in this high-speed rail construction is perfect - they are also using this project as a model project in Europe. After all, at this time, China's high-speed rail projects are still only in China, and there are no commendable projects in overseas projects. If they can have an outstanding performance in this project, it will naturally promote a series of high-speed rail projects in Europe that they will undertake later.

But then again, although China's offer this time is far lower than the initial budget, its cost is still much higher than China's domestic high-speed rail projects.

After all, the high-speed rail project in the UK needs to take care of local construction companies. Although the general contractor this time is a consortium of Chinese companies, there are still many small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK among the subcontractors.

Although they are all civil engineers, British civil engineers are certainly not as durable as their Chinese counterparts.

"I heard that the British Motor Group is planning to expand its electric vehicle super factory in Birmingham?"

It seems that with the general election approaching - it's only a year and a half away - Cameron is particularly concerned about the economy. After learning that the British Motor Group is planning to expand their super factory, he came to find Barron.

"Yes, there is such a plan. After all, as you know, the sales of Jaguar TYPE electric models in Europe last year were satisfactory."

“Indeed, this is the only electric car in Europe that can compete with Tesla in the electric vehicle sector.”

Cameron did not hesitate to praise him, and then said:
"Then why don't you consider building another electric car factory in another city? The government can provide preferential policies..."

"Well, we still need to consider the cost, and we also need to proceed step by step. Although more models will be launched this year, it is not just Tesla. China's electric vehicles are also developing very rapidly. In addition, the car manufacturers in Germany and Japan are still competitive, so..."

Barron could only decline Cameron's proposal:
"However, we will add two production lines to the Gigafactory in Birmingham, which will also provide a lot of jobs there."

"But your super factory has an automated production line. I've visited it. It's very advanced and doesn't require many employees..."

Cameron said with a little regret.

There is no way around it. After all, although the Jaguar TYPE is relatively a high-end model and competes with brands of the same level as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, it still needs to enhance its competitiveness in the face of Tesla.

If Tesla was the best-selling electric car in North America last year, then Jaguar TYPE was the darling of the electric car market in Europe.

For example, when the Jaguar TYPE electric car landed in the Norwegian market at the beginning of this year, it broke the local sales record in the first week, selling 350 cars...

In the past year, Jaguar TYPE's total sales in Europe reached 1.5 units, far higher than Tesla's less than 5000 units - of course, Tesla's main sales market is North America, where they sold more than 2 Model S units in the past year...

However, this also shows that Jaguar TYPE has finally been successful. According to surveys, the main group of people who buy electric cars in Europe are young people who pursue environmental protection and technology.

Well, Barron has finally tasted the sweetness of "environmental protection". For this reason, the Prosperous Earth Foundation has incorporated several environmental protection organizations in the UK and continental Europe, and is shouting that everyone should pay attention to the future of the earth and buy electric cars for the sake of environmental protection...
