Chapter 279 Jennifer
“Barron, I have arrived in Los Angeles, can I meet you when I have time?”
In the evening, Barron received a call from Amanda.
Now she is studying at Boston University, which is not close to Los Angeles. If she has arrived in Los Angeles now, she must have come by flight...
The flight from Boston to Los Angeles takes 5- 6 hours, calculated based on this time, then when she called Lidya, she should have already been about to get on the plane.
But...
Didn’t she tell Lydia on the phone before that they would come together to see Barron tomorrow?
Woman.
But the beautiful woman traveled thousands of miles to see her... er, no, to see him. Of course, Barron would not refuse her cruelly.
In April in Los Angeles, the temperature is no longer cold. The highest temperature can reach 25 degrees during the day, and even at night, it is above 15 degrees.
When Barron saw Amanda, she was only wearing a long dress.
"Barron, I miss you so much..."
Compared to Lydia, Amanda can be called passionate. After seeing Barron, she trotted Come over and rush into his arms.
Fortunately this is in Amanda's own villa, otherwise Barron would really be worried about being photographed by the paparazzi...
In that case, he would have to think about how to explain to Bonnie .
After a period of intense kissing, Amanda's face turned slightly red. She put her head in Barron's arms, looked to one side, and asked softly:
"Are you... going back tonight?"
…
Troublesomely, when he returned to the Malibu beach villa the next day, Barron first found a tie and put it on…
After all, it needed to be tied A good shirt to cover the "medal" near the collarbone.
I have to say, Amanda is really passionate.
On April 10, two days after the due date, Rebecca gave birth to a baby girl.
Barron named her Jennifer, his first child, Jennifer Cavendish.
Carefully taking the baby from the nurse's hands, Barron was hugging a treasure - even a treasure, in his eyes at this time, was not as precious as the little baby in his arms.
"Why does she look a little ugly? Her skin is wrinkled..."
When Barron showed Rebecca what his daughter looked like, Rebecca said slightly disappointed.
The mother next to her explained to her:
"The baby is always like this when he is born. It was like this at first. It will be fine after a while and it will grow out. She Not ugly, you can tell her eyebrows are beautiful , Our Jennifer will definitely be a beautiful woman in the future.”
To be honest, when he first met his daughter Jennifer, Barron had the same feeling as Rebecca when he saw her appearance. He had never experienced anything like this before.
Fortunately, after hearing what Rebecca's mother said, he felt relieved a little, hoping that it was really what she said.
In addition to looking a little wrinkled at this time, according to doctors, little Jennifer is very healthy. She weighed more than 9 pounds at birth. At this time, after her initial cry, she looked at Barron with big eyes and suddenly smiled, which made Barron feel that his heart suddenly melted...
At this moment , holding Jennifer, he had a vague feeling of flesh and blood connected.
This feeling is very strange.
……
After entering 2004, starting in March, the British troops stationed in Iraq had begun a withdrawal plan.
The number of British troops that initially entered the Iraqi battlefield was as high as 45,000.
After Saddam's regime was overthrown and the transitional government was established, the British troops began to gradually withdraw. Currently, there are less than 30,000 British troops remaining in Iraq.
According to the British government's plan, it will continue to withdraw British troops within this year, ensuring that the number of British troops remaining in Iraq is less than 20,000.
But even though Iraq has completed its "regime change," their new government still does not have complete control of the situation. On the contrary, the wanton killing of civilians in Iraq by the British and American coalition forces and military contractors such as Blackwater has inspired more resistance forces to continuously carry out various attacks on coalition forces and British and American targets.
Therefore, when the British government began to promote the withdrawal plan due to domestic pressure, as British military personnel were removed, more and more security tasks needed to be undertaken by private military companies.
Before this year, Protector Military Company’s personnel in Iraq had increased to more than 1,000 people.
However, these personnel are still far from meeting the needs of local security. Therefore, since this year, they have continued to increase their personnel. Currently, they have more than 1,500 personnel in Iraq.
In fact, if necessary, they can provide more personnel. After all, after the Iraq War, many of the soldiers who retreated to the British mainland have begun to retire. A considerable number of them can be replaced. The Protector Military Company was recruited.
But Barron does not want the Protector Military Company to eventually lose control due to its eagerness to expand its scale, causing an ending like the Blackwater Company in its previous life. Therefore, he has been controlling the scale and requirements of the Protector Military Company to absorb retired British troops. .
However, there is still a problem, that is, the personnel of the Protector Military Company who perform security tasks in Iraq need to be on alert most of the time. After a long time, psychological pressure will gradually accumulate, and they need to be appropriately Otherwise, these people armed with weapons will inevitably lose control.
Therefore, after a period of time, the personnel assigned to Iraq by the Protector Military Company will be given a "holiday" to return home to recuperate or go to other places to recuperate.
For this reason, since April, a large number of African-American Protector Military Company armed personnel have appeared in Iraq.
Most of these personnel are local soldiers from Kolo in the Kolo Corps who rotate to the Iraqi garrison of the Protector Military Company for foreign assignments.
This kind of rotation method can, on the one hand, strengthen the "actual combat training" of the local armed personnel of the Colo Corps, and on the other hand, it can also maintain the personnel stationed in Iraq and complete the rotation.
Because being deployed to Iraq can get higher subsidies and greatly increase income, for the local soldiers of the Colo Corps, this is also an opportunity that many of them compete for, and only the soldiers with the best performance can get it." reward”.
The retired British soldiers from the Protector Military Company who temporarily returned to Kolo from their base in Iraq to rest and recuperate can also be responsible for training the local Kolo soldiers in the safer and more stable Kolo. Work, although the income at this time is not as high as in Iraq, is still necessary for them to balance their psychology.
The Colo Legion took over some equipment from the former Colo government army. The main part of this equipment was French equipment originally purchased from France.
But after the establishment of the Colo Corps, the government army will naturally not continue to rely on France for military equipment.
Their equipment will gradually shift to the standard equipment of the British army.
The arrival of these former British soldiers will also help the soldiers of the Colo Corps to become familiar with some British equipment.
Also includes the CH47 Chigannu transport helicopter, which has also served in the British Army.
These helicopters have now been assigned to the Colo Corps. Before that, they were operated by retired members of the British Army. In the future, local talents in Colo will also be trained.
