329. The new U.K

After this, his work was done and he decided to leave for Zimbabwe, for a 3-day tour. This will be an official visit.

In the flight, the three babies started to cry, but, there were only two breasts to feed the babies. Hence, one had to either wait or be given something else.

Grace innocently told the flight attendant to bring their bags. Adam took the baby formula from it and made some for Aurelia. However, just when Adam was about to feed the bottle to her, Ragnar came running and snatched the bottle away.

*BAM*

"DAD, HOW CAN YOU DO THIS? How can you feed her this?" Ragnar was very angry.

Adam staggered back. "What happened? I was feeding her milk."

"He threw the bottle in the dustbin. That baby formula is a lie, it's not equal to breast milk. Do you really think manmade powder, mixed with synthetic items, can be equal to real milk? It's all a false advertisement. It's because of our crappy capitalist world that these companies are allowed to do these things. Let me see which company it is." Ragnar checked the box. *Bam* He threw it as well. "NESTLE? GOD, It's the evilest one."

Magnus, who was sleeping, came running after hearing the noise, "What happened?"

Ragnar explained, "I checked every single baby formula with potions and alchemy, none of them is equal or better than real milk. They don't provide the immunity that a real baby needs. But, these companies are allowed to mislead people, saying baby formula is a better substitute."

Magnus took this matter seriously, *Sigh* "Why must these companies adopt the bad side of capitalism. Why can't they be like me? I will ask MEDA to gather all evidence for lies this company has created, then I will ask Ted to bury the company in lawsuits until they are on the verge of bankruptcy and I will make them confess and apologise to the world. The tests on their formula you did, can you replicate them with muggle tech and chemicals?"

"I should be able to." Ragnar nodded.

However, this served as a problem. Adam asked, "That's fine and all, but what do we give the babies then? A mother can't produce so much food for them."

Ragnar thought about it, "Fuck it, I will start my own company with real healthy and strong baby formula. For my siblings, I will make a magical formula."

"Ragnar, LANGUAGE!" Grace quickly scolded him.

Ragnar shrank his neck, "Sorry, mum."

...

The plane landed in Zimbabwe, and they were greeted by the new Prime Minister and a few native dancers. Then they were given a guard of honour, with the military parading in front of them and saluting. Well, technically, Zimbabwe was still a British colony, though it is called Overseas Territory now. But, nobody really complained since Britain had done so much for the country.

Their main reason for coming here was to make the public worship the right royal, not the ones sitting in Buckingham Palace right now. Magnus met a lot of people there, though the main meeting was especially with the current Prime Minister, who was already a man under his control.

"What do you personally think, John Nkomo? Do you want Zimbabwe to join Britain and become one?" Magnus inquired.

John Nkomo knew this was a test of sorts, "Of course, Zimbabwe has changed a lot in the past few years, and some people might forget it, but it's the truth that all of it was because of you. The day you stop helping us, we will go back to the old days.

"You were the one who removed all the mafia and warlords who had taken over many mines. You rooted out all the corruption. I truly believe we can be better as one with Britain."

Magnus nodded and asked further, "And what about the matter of you having to give up your prime minister seat and letting the British Prime Minister take over?"

"I accept this arrangement. I understand that this cannot go the other way. But I am worried about how the British Parliament rules from beyond an entire continent and sea." John Nkomo asked back.

"Well, we have already come to a solution. The British Parliamentary sessions last for around 10 to 12 months. We will build a new Parliament in Zimbabwe as well. For half-year, the UK will be the seat of parliament, for the other half, it will be Zimbabwe. Now, I know your next question, the House of Lords. Well, I accept, it's an unconstitutional part of the government that is useless as it just drinks money and gives not much in back. It has more members than the house of commons for god's sake.

"But worry not, I shall be slowly replacing all lords with elected members. Since the UK will be becoming much bigger now, we shall have states, and those states will have something called super-districts.

"Initially, we made states too big, so we have now corrected it. Scotland shall have 4 states, England shall have 8 states, Wales shall have 4 states, Northern Ireland shall have 5 states. Zimbabwe, which is bigger than the United Kingdom, will have fewer states since it depends on population density. I also want Zimbabwe to not lose its natural beauty. So, it shall have 5 big states in total. Just like in the United States, where each state sends two elected senators to form a 100 member senate. Here, each state shall send 5 members, elected via a direct vote, to sit in the House of Lords.

"The house will then consist of 130 members, as there are 26 states. They will have similar powers as a US senate. Each state shall have a governor, but he will not enjoy as much power as an American one does. And overall, as per the constitution, the entire Government shall derive power from the Crown, as it already does." Magnus explained the new political system.

This system will also ensure any further expansion. Each member getting elected as a Lord into the House of Lords will have a "Lord" added before their name as long as they serve in office.

John Nkomo was at peace with this, knowing that he could still be elected as a Lord and sit in the high position. Or even the Governor of a state.

Magnus then let Adam and Grace do charity work since they were the main royal couple, not him. He was still a kid for the world, a kid with too much money.

~I wonder how the world will react when they find out what I am up to? Hmm... I wonder if someone will write a biography on me... wait... wasn't Rita writing a book?~ he remembered her.

...

It was time to return home for Magnus and the family. Their relaxing vacation was spent pretty well, even though Magnus did a lot of work, it was still enjoyable. He didn't work every day.

They got on the plane and headed back to the UK.

And just right then, Bobby was checking the progress of the R&D department outside London. The department was supposed to make him stuff that can then generate money for the company. The common theme was that it needs to be something that can be used by the masses.

Soon, he arrived at the Energy Department, where things related to electricity, heat, all kinds of energies were being researched.

"Umm... sir, this is our progress report." An old man in a lab coat came to Bobby, who was also being followed by a few company executives.

Bobby looked at the file and frowned, "What the fuck, when did I sanction Thorium Reactor research?"

The researcher frowned as well, then he explained while mimicking Bobby's voice, "Well... it was last year, Mr Armstrong. You said 'If uncle Adam can make awesome, efficient batteries, then I can make awesome clean energy.' then you signed this research."

Bobby tried to remember, "Dammit... how much did I sign?"

"50 Million... pounds(£484 million in 2021." the researcher answered.

Bobby started sweating, this was too much. "Wait... I remember now... I had just returned from a party at Magnus' house. Ragnar had given me something weird. GOD! Please tell me I didn't just waste 50 million pounds."

"That is exactly why I came to you, sir. We have achieved a breakthrough. With the help of your large funds, we were able to explore all expensive means to reach success. Although much work is still due, we believe the reactor is feasible." the researcher revealed.

Bobby's sad eyes nearly popped out. "A-Are you serious? Really? All we needed to make these reactors was money?"

"Yes, no country or company wants to waste money on new reactor research when we have already functional uranium reactors. And besides, the reactors we already have were made during World War 2, and you know why they were made." The man said.

Bobby was elated, "I... Woah... man, the company can get a nobel prize for this. When can I get a functional reactor?"

This time the researcher made a conflicted face, "I... er... we need more funds, Mr Armstrong, I truly believe we can build it."

Bobby thought about it. A glance at the executives behind him made it clear that the company can't afford such huge expenses yet. That's when the idea clicked, "AHA!... you go and start your research, no matter what, I need a working reactor by the year-end. About money... hehe... I know a real big rich fat cow that shits money."

...

The Plane,

"AAAACHOOOO! *sniff sniff*... CHAD, COME HERE! Why are you cursing me? WAIT! Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?"

"I won't use you to wipe my nose, I promise. Come back, my fat boah."

[A/N: I went with Thorium reactors instead of Fusion reactors since Fusion is too far fetched for the tech of the 1970s. Thorium is doable.]

[A/N: I will be skipping the 4th year. The reason, well, nothing happens in this year, Voldemort is weak. But 5th year will have a lot of stuff, Gilderoy Lockhart enters school, Prefects will be selected, Gryffindor four will become Animagus, Magnus too. Many more major events will take place in the 5th year.]
