In the blink of an eye, it was December 24th. After lunch, Rock and Henry led all the commandos out of the city to Darmstadt Manor.
Darmstadt is a city in central Germany, formerly part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and Governor Alfred Milner was born there.
"Are you all ready?" On the way to Darmstadt Manor, Henry finally started to feel a little nervous.
From the perspective of the Cape Colony government, Rock and Henry's behavior can be called treason. If this matter is leaked, Rock and Henry will probably be regarded as accomplices of the rebels and thrown into Robben Island. This is still a slight.
, to be serious, Rock and Henry will even be shot.
"Don't worry, the bait has been sent out." Rock was not nervous. The entire operation was personally directed by Rock. Now as long as the rebels who tried to sneak into the banquet venue and cause chaos were killed on the spot, there would be no other troubles.
.
Today's luck is not as good as last time. It rained a little in Cape Town yesterday, and the ground was a little muddy, but not serious. Rock and Henry still rode horses, and the other commandos all rode in carriages. As long as they entered Darmstadt
Within the Te Manor area, the road conditions are still good, and the roads have all been hardened, just like in the center of Cape Town.
Entering the Darmstadt Manor, police officers were already on duty at the intersection. They had cordoned off the area around the Darmstadt Manor two days ago and ensured 24-hour uninterrupted patrols, not to mention people, even rabbits.
Can't get in.
The police cannot appear in front of the distinguished guests. From now on, the commando team will take over the outer defense of the Darmstadt Manor.
According to the pre-made plan, four commandos in uniforms handed over to the police on duty and were responsible for the security of the intersection.
In fact, it's not to this extent. There is no problem with safety. The main thing is to maintain order and guide the distinguished guests' carriages. Unless they are those with ulterior motives, no one will dare to cause trouble tonight.
Rock and Henry's posts are at the gate of the manor. In fact, they should separate one person to stay at the intersection, but the situation is special tonight. Rock needs to stay at the gate to ensure that Henry can complete the task. Forget it at the intersection, there will be no problems there.
.
"Thank you for your hard work, buddy, your clothes are really nice." The bearded knight came to say hello, and he also brought some cigars to Roque and Henry. Forget about the wine, no one dared to drink tonight.
"Of course, it's very expensive. A set costs twenty pounds." Henry had experience in dealing with this kind of people, and the proud expression on his face made people laugh.
"Then you have made a lot of money." The bearded knight is also a clever man, making puns.
For some reason that everyone knows, things purchased from the official side are always more expensive, and maybe the quality is worse.
The clothes customized by the commandos collectively should be cheaper than those customized individually, but the price is higher, and everyone is accustomed to it.
"Haha, I don't know about that, who knows." Henry didn't answer, so no one should laugh at anyone. Working next to the governor, the bearded knight would have more opportunities to make money.
"I'll leave it to you tonight. Let's have a drink together another day." The bearded knight didn't mean to set up a trap. He said hello and returned to the manor. It's just good to work next to the governor. There are sofas in the guard lounge.
Of course, the bearded knight did not forget Rock and Henry. After a while, the bearded knight sent two chairs, a round table, and a pot of black tea. This was prepared for Rock and Henry, and forget about the others.
.
As night fell, guests began to arrive in droves. Only then did Rock notice that there were street lights on both sides of the road. However, these street lights were not electric lights, but oil lamps with glass covers on the outside. When it was time to light up the street lights,
Servants in the manor would carry ladders and light them one by one.
Watching the street lights gradually light up, Henry sighed, but Rock couldn't complain.
"It's so beautiful. This is what civilization means." Henry said proudly.
Rock curled his lips and refused to answer. Henry thought Rock was stunned, but when he turned around, he realized that the expression on Rock's face was clearly disapproving.
"Aren't you surprised? So beautiful." Henry thought that Rock should show an expression that met Henry's expectations.
"Is there anything surprising? They are just white glass lampshades, which are all industrial products. In my hometown, during festivals, every household will hang up red lanterns. We will also set off fireworks and firecrackers, visit relatives and friends, and party all night long.
"Luo Ke couldn't go on. He was not talking about the Qing Dynasty, but the Celestial Empire in the 21st century.
Coming to this era, this is the first time that Rock has touched the scene.
"Ha, they are all industrial products." Henry thought Rock was speaking harshly, and he imitated Rock's tone, his words full of contempt: "Is there any industry in your hometown? Those big red lanterns are all handmade, right?
, Industry is the symbol of social progress, and manual work will be eliminated sooner or later."
What can Rock say? Henry will not understand. Industrial products are indeed popular now, but in a few decades, when people are tired of using industrial products, the value of handicrafts will be far greater than industrial products.
.
In fact, that’s not true. Even in this era, handmade things are usually worth more than industrially produced things. For example, customized clothes in British tailor shops are more expensive than cheap clothes sold in Jewish shops. This is the difference between handmade and industrial products.
Industrial differences.
Rock was about to retort when he suddenly saw the carriage of Police Chief August Russell from a distance. His carriage was really conspicuous, with a large police badge on the body.
At the same time, Rock also saw Li De, who was originally on duty at the intersection. He was not far from August Russell's carriage and was beckoning to Rock.
According to the agreement between Rock and Li De, it was Li De who discovered the rebels' carriage.
Hot, how did they get together?
But this is also a good thing. Only by working together can we leave the deepest impression on August Russell.
"Henry, how's the situation here?" As he passed by Rock and Henry, August Russell opened the car door and stood on the shaft of the car with a loud bell, like a general inspecting the troops.
"Mr. Director, we haven't found any problems." Henry straightened his back, like a guard of honor being inspected.
"Good job, boys." August Russell waved to the commandos lined up and prepared to return to the car.
By the way, August Russell rode in a carriage.
Rock and Henry stood at attention and saluted, watching August Russell's carriage slowly passing by. Just after August Russell's carriage passed by, Rock seemed to see something in the window of the latter carriage.
