Winston's father, Randolph Churchill, was the third son of the famous seventh Duke of Marlborough. According to British law, the title and territory of the Duke of Marlborough should be inherited by the Duke's eldest son. The other sons can only be in politics.
The military, colonial administration or religious circles sought a way out.
Randolph's luck was that he met Jenny Jerome, the daughter of Leonard Jerome, the king of Wall Street in the United States, at a banquet. One was a child of an aristocratic family whose family was declining, and the other was eager to integrate into the upper class.
The two people, who were nouveau riche in society, hit it off immediately and held their wedding eight months later.
In November of the wedding year, Jenny Jerome gave birth to Winston Churchill due to abdominal pain caused by an accident. At this time, it was only more than seven months before the wedding of Randolph and Jenny, so Winston was a premature baby.
Even though he was born more than two months prematurely, under extremely backward medical conditions, Winston still grew up healthily.
This vitality is comparable to Xiaoqiang.
The reason for introducing this background is not to prove that Randolph and Jenny had sexual relations before marriage, which was against social ethics at the time. The purpose of introducing Winston's background is just to illustrate the environment in which Winston grew up.
He has always been ridiculed by people and maliciously slandered by many people.
Well, that also includes a certain unscrupulous fish head.
Before coming to the Cape, Winston had participated in the war between Cuba and India as a military reporter. At that time, Winston still had a military rank, but before going to the Cape, Winston resigned from the military rank.
One time was to cover the Second Boer War purely as a reporter for the Morning Post.
The editor of "Morning Post" Boswick spent a lot of money to hire Winston. Winston's salary in the Cape is 250 pounds per month. This salary is higher than the salary of the British Under-Secretary of the Treasury, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer every year.
His annual salary is only 5,000 pounds.
Therefore, Winston may not really be a premature baby, but the Boers are really blind!
Obviously, although Rock and Ada only met overnight, they had a tacit understanding. Rock did not get on Ada's carriage. Although Ada's carriage was four-wheeled, Rock still got together with Winston.
Return to Cape Town in a horse-drawn carriage.
Well, Rock didn't say hello to Ada either. Rock didn't even see Ada. Ada's carriage was right behind Rock's carriage.
Arriving at the Table Mountain Bar, Winston was already fast asleep. Rock first settled Winston before finding Ada in a familiar room.
Not familiar, but Rock's memory was pretty good. Ada was deeply impressed by Rock, and Rock was also deeply impressed by Ada.
"Your injury?" Ada looked at Roark with worry. If Roark helped Ada out of a siege last time and left a deep impression on Ada, then Roark's performance tonight will make this difference.
This impression deepens to an unforgettable level.
"It's fine now. A man's scar is a medal of merit he carries with him." Rock pretended to be that.
Ada's smile was like a rose blooming in the morning.
In fact, Rock is really not pretending. Rock's injury is really fine. Just now in the carriage, Rock felt that the wound was still a little itchy. Now it's not even itchy, only a little uncomfortable. That's because of the bandage.
caused.
"Your clothes are torn, try changing into this one?" There is a white shirt on the sofa next to Ada. Rock doesn't know why it is there. Maybe it belongs to Ada's unlucky ex-husband?
Just give it a try. Rock took off his torn tuxedo and then his torn shirt. Suddenly he heard Ada swallow.
Give it a try!
(Two thousand words are omitted here, brothers can use their imagination)
(Sisters, please don’t misunderstand, Ada is just helping Rock change his dressing)
(Suddenly I realized that this chapter turned out to be four thousand words long. It’s really a fish of conscience)
There is moonlight in front of the bed, and two pairs of shoes on the floor
It's still the same recipe, but not the same taste. Roque didn't miss it this time, and everything was impressive.
Well, very impressed.
It was already the next day when Rock saw Winston again. Although it was not yet the opening hours of the Table Mountain bar at noon, Winston and Henry had already finished a bottle of Madame Clicquot each in the bar.
"Henry, you should stay in the army. You will become a general. Losing you is a loss for the entire army." Winston had obviously understood Henry's views on linear tactics.
"No, you should stay in the army, and the queen should appoint you as the commander of the Royal Navy." Henry drank a lot, but he still spoke clearly.
Look, when British people drink too much, they are exchanging business blows.
In fact, the military talents of both men are not mentioned. Henry was kicked out of the army for picking up girls. Winston commanded the Battle of Gallipoli in World War I. As a result, the British army lost 2 people at once in that war.
Thousands of people.
But this does not affect their future achievements
Attention, it's them!
"Good morning, gentlemen." Rock had already put on a new suit, which was amazing and fit him perfectly.
"Please allow me to introduce Locke, who comes from the mysterious East and is the mainstay of the Cape Town Police Department. It was he who saved us all last night." Henry stood up and put his arm around Locke's shoulders with enthusiasm.
"Locke, Indian?" Winston had served in India and knew a lot about India, but he had a dark eye on the Qing Dynasty.
"No, Chinese." Roque can change his nationality, but he will always be proud of being Chinese.
"Oh, the Qing Dynasty, a magical country." Winston immediately lost interest in Roque.
"Don't be like this, Winston, all the shortcomings of 'linear tactics' I just mentioned were actually discovered by Locke. Let me tell you, he is the real genius." Henry admired Locke infinitely, especially after yesterday.
After night.
Rock didn't know how much benefit last night's contribution would bring to Henry. The police department was definitely going to be promoted, and the official position was not small, and he might rise to the top in one step. This was exactly what Rock wanted, so Rock
Ke can also follow suit.
The police department has not announced the reward for Henry yet, but it is obvious that Henry has received some benefits. It seems that Henry met a lot of people at the banquet yesterday.
It can be seen that Winston does not really believe Henry's words, but after Henry's explanation, Winston looked at Roark with obviously more interest.
"No one is a genius. Many people know that 'linear tactics' will be eliminated sooner or later, but no one will take the initiative to eliminate 'linear tactics' before suffering heavy losses. This is our tragedy. We know that something will definitely happen.
, but we have no way to stop it." Rock is not proud, reality will teach the arrogant British a lesson.
Reality will also teach the arrogant Winston a lesson.
