People in Sandhurst are no strangers to military personnel. After all, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst has hundreds of students all year round.
However, soldiers are different from soldiers. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst trains junior officers, similar to nobles like Winston and Henry. After graduating from high school, if you don’t want to go to Oxford or Cambridge, Sandhurst
The Royal Military Academy is the best choice.
Those military cadets who have just stepped out of middle school are definitely different from the soldiers around Rock who have been on the battlefield.
Rock must be surrounded by elite soldiers who are comparable to the special forces. The leader, Twain, even participated in the Boer War. This is also the only old brother beside Rock who is still working as a police sergeant. The remaining brothers have either retired and gone to the umbrella.
And Brad, either join the army and become at least a mid-level officer.
Rock's guard was selected from the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division. Almost all of the more than 40 people had participated in the conflict with the Congo Free State and the counter-insurgency in Natal. They had rich combat experience and strong personal abilities.
The strength is not comparable to that of the fledgling military cadets.
So the matcha shop owner immediately felt strong pressure.
However, it was too late for him to apologize now. Rock would not take the initiative to bully others, but he would not be polite if he came to find trouble. So Rock raised his hand to call Bella over, preparing to let Phyllis and
Bella goes home first.
What follows is not suitable for children.
"Sir, please exercise restraint, I am the Sheriff of Sandhurst," a guest in the corridor tried to intervene.
"Shut up, I am Lord Nyasaland's guard captain Tang En. You are the police chief. Very good. What did you do just now? I see you were smiling very happily just now." Tang En didn't want to listen to the police chief at all.
Name, if you want to intervene, it's best to weigh your own weight.
The Sheriff immediately shut up. Lords are different from lords. Anyone with a title of Duke or lower can be called "Lord". Some lords can't even afford to rent a carriage. Lords with captains of guards are beyond the control of the Sheriff.
.
Even the police chief stayed away, and the other guests were very wise and dispersed almost in the blink of an eye.
The British are quite polite. These guests finally did not forget to put their meal money on the table when they left, and carefully held it down with cups.
The Sheriff doesn't dare to leave. If anything happens to Rock here, the Sheriff will be responsible.
"Sheriff, arrest this gentleman. He insulted an imperial noble and should reflect in prison." Rock didn't talk nonsense. In fact, those guests didn't go far and were still watching from a distance. Rock didn't want to think about anything.
If he makes a big fuss, he will be imprisoned for a few days as punishment.
The poor shop owner has lost all his arrogance and is sitting on the steps of the corridor, sweating profusely, shivering. Inside the shop door, a girl in a maid outfit is supporting an old woman with a shaky body, covering her mouth with tears in her eyes, in disbelief.
watching all this.
"Sorry Danny, you messed with someone you shouldn't have messed with." The police sergeant came over and pulled the store owner up from the ground to take him away.
"I'm fine, I'll be back." Before the shop owner was taken away, he did not forget to tell his wife and children.
Rock felt a little bored. He was obviously the victim, but he seemed to be bullying others.
Looking back at the people watching the fun, they didn't seem to think it was the shop owner's fault. They all looked at Roark with hatred in their eyes. There were even a few students wearing military cadet uniforms crowded inside.
Rock suddenly felt restless and turned around to get on the carriage and return to the manor. Suddenly he had no expectations for the military school life that was about to begin.
The British mainland may not be very friendly towards Roark.
When she got home, Phyllis was very apologetic, thinking that it was her fault that caused Roark to be humiliated.
"Don't be sorry, Phyllis, this has nothing to do with you." Rock would not offend Phyllis. That hateful shopkeeper is actually the epitome of tens of millions of British people. Although Rock is now an imperial baron, ordinary British people will not.
No matter what contribution Roark had made to the British Empire, even if they would not discriminate against Roark in person, they would certainly try their best to slander and slander him behind his back.
"That man is really hateful, I must lock him up for a few more days." This was already the most severe punishment that Phyllis could think of.
Roark doesn't care about this matter, no matter what the outcome is, Sandhurst Police Department will definitely give Roark an explanation, otherwise Roark will definitely not give up.
As a result, Sheriff Sandhurst came to visit Roark that evening.
"I'm sorry, Lord. No one wants to see this happen. Danny is not a bad person. He did something wrong because he was confused for a moment. The police station decided to imprison him for a week and fine him ten pounds. This is the result, Lord."
Is this acceptable?" The police chief was wearing a police uniform this time, which was similar to the police uniform in Johannesburg.
This result was acceptable to Rock. Although the shop owner made a mistake, he was not guilty enough to die. This level of punishment is enough now.
As for the words "Danny is not a bad guy" said by the Sheriff, Rock kept this sentence in mind. This time when he came to Sandhurst, Rock wanted to see how many pens he could memorize, and he would do it again in the future.
The pen was returned slowly.
"Okay, it's enough to let him realize his mistake." Rock is not magnanimous. This is the case in Britain in this era. Not to mention Indians, Japanese, even Germans and Americans are not welcome.
Racial discrimination is of great concern in the 21st century. No matter who you are, you avoid racial discrimination like a snake or a scorpion.
It's different now. At this time, racial discrimination is politically correct, and non-discrimination is abnormal. They are all white people. Germans and Americans will be discriminated against in the UK and France, and French restaurants will also not serve them.
Americans think that Americans are upstarts with rude and uncultured behavior, which will affect the mood of other guests in the restaurant.
Not to mention the Germans. These days, German products are synonymous with shoddy manufacturing. The British government will even warn citizens to be careful with low-quality German products. This may cause a diplomatic incident in the 21st century, but in the second century
At the beginning of the 10th century, even the German government considered its products shameful.
Americans also did not resist the discrimination they suffered in Europe, but only doubled this discrimination to Africans in the United States.
As a Chinese, Roque, even if he is a noble, will definitely not be able to change the current situation, so Roque still keeps a low profile and records all the accounts in a small notebook.
The Americans also waited until after the two world wars to completely turn over. Rock is not in a hurry. It will take another ten years to see if the British can maintain this arrogance.
Winston was still very efficient in his work. On the morning of the third day, Winston sent someone to send news to Rock that he had found a suitable house.
Rock was a little depressed. If this was in Johannesburg or Nyasaland, it would only be a matter of making a phone call, but in the UK it would require sending someone to make a trip. Obviously there is a phone in the manor, but Winston seems to be still alive.
In the last century, Rock didn't know how to evaluate it.
Compared with Johannesburg, there are finally some things that the British mainland can offer. At least the four-wheeled carriages are more stable than the two-wheeled carriages in Johannesburg.
However, the two-wheeled carriage in Johannesburg only needs one horse to pull it, but the four-wheeled carriage requires two horses, and the efficiency between the two is the same, which makes Rock speechless.
The British Empire was indeed rich and did not care about this waste of resources.
The house Winston found for Rock is on King's Road in Chelsea, which is a wealthy area in London. People who can live here are either rich or noble. The middle class cannot afford to rent a house here. Winston
The house I found was a three-story building with about thirty rooms. It had all the facilities and the decoration was quite luxurious. The price was of course also very beautiful, costing forty thousand pounds.
This price shocked Phyllis: "God, forty thousand pounds can buy a forty thousand acre farm in Johannesburg!"
This was the previous price, and you definitely can’t buy it now.
However, Rock also felt a little bit pained. The price was a bit beyond Rock's budget. Rock originally thought that ten thousand or twenty thousand would be enough.
"Don't be too expensive. The annual rent for such a house is more than a thousand pounds. The current housing prices in London are really crazy. I can only say that there are too many rich people, so a family like mine wants to buy one."
I can't even afford a house like this." Winston also complained that it seems that housing prices in hot spots are never cheap.
The speaker has no intention of speaking, but the listener has a heart. Rock is also not stingy with Winston: "Is there any such house left? I will buy another one for you."
Roque is very generous. The investment he makes in Winston now will be earned back tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.
"Give it to me? Forget it, I live in a house like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." Winston seemed to be quite moved, but he could still refuse rationally.
Winston is from the Marlborough family, and a family like his cannot afford such a house. I am afraid that if Winston accepts this house, it will immediately arouse doubts.
Don't underestimate the strife between political parties. Sometimes a small mistake can lead to huge consequences, not to mention such a property worth tens of thousands. Generally, it has been passed down to a noble family for hundreds of years. The total wealth of the family is probably about this.
point.
Rock laughed, feeling that Winston was really frustrated in London. Rock couldn't stand this kind of environment for a day. Even the Duke's grandson was timid. As a Baron, Rock should keep a low profile.
However, Adelaide does not need to keep a low profile. After Adelaide leaves office, he will definitely be idle at home for a long time. Even if he lives in such a "luxury house", he does not have to worry about being attacked. This is called "having no official position means being lighthearted".
Forty thousand pounds is not a small amount. No one would carry such a huge amount of money with them. If you want to make a settlement, you can only go to the bank.
Of course Rock went to Rand Bank, which is located in the City of London. When he walked into the door of Rand Bank, the woman leaning against the counter and smiling brightly at Rock turned out to be Ada.
Rock looked back at Phyllis and suddenly felt that his heart was not feeling well.
