Let me split it up into manageable chunks for you. You get to phrase it properly yourself. ;)

一点集中主義が literally, "principle of concentrating on one point only", not sure if there is a term in English that would describe it. This calls for some creativity with translation.
生んだ gave birth
負の側面か negative side, eh? (maybe "negative side effect" would sound better)
…もらっておこう ...I'll have some

I (or anyone else here) can phrase the whole thing for you if you need it, but it's better that you try it yourself first, at least for practice.

There may be an official translation for Lanchester's winning principle to focus on a single point. 負の側面 means "downside", but it may be good to use "negative" (i.e. negative aspect, or negative side that you sugged) to make it sound fomal.

Ah, of course, "downside"! Somehow, that word didn't occur to me, so I took it a little too literally.
