Henry would ask Roark about his progress every day, and Roark would go to the temporary resting point three times a day in the morning, noon and evening to see if the informant had any news back.
If there is no news, the informant has been out for two days. It is normal to have no news.
Rock couldn't hang himself from a tree, so he spent a long time in the police station's information room sorting out the information. Based on the Boer's criminal records in the past, Rock identified a dozen Boers who might have known about it.
"These Boers all have criminal records. Some of them are probably no longer in Cape Town or dead on Robben Island, but some of them are definitely still alive. I want to find them to see if they know anything.
But we need an excuse, otherwise we will alert the real rioters." Rock is not sure whether Zack and the others can find clues about the rioters. After all, they have been imprisoned on Robben Island for a long time. Even if they return to the Boers, they will have to
It also takes time to find clues. Relatively speaking, these people are better informed, after all, they have been living in Cape Town.
"What excuse do you need? It's enough that they are suspicious. We don't need to take action. Just wait and I'll go find the inspector." It has to be said that Rock still doesn't understand how arrogant the British are these days. Henry has a lot of money.
Lan, I don’t think this is a scapegoat at all.
After pushing and shoving, Austin Burns assigned Sharma the task of offending people. This is the result of not having a backstage. Being a cuckold and taking the blame to watch others have sex is not as miserable as the artillery unit's cooking class.
The gunshots were heard one after another at the training ground. The commandos were taking the time to familiarize themselves with the weapons. Not only the pistols, but also the rifles. The difference between Lee Enfield and Martini Henry was still very big. Now shed an extra drop of sweat.
One less drop of blood will be shed in wartime.
"This gun is much easier to use than the Martini Henry we used before. The Martini Henry has too much recoil and makes your body weak. You can't stand it after more than ten shots in a row. Your shoulders will hurt for several days. This gun
The recoil is very small, the accuracy is high, the shooting speed is comparable to that of a pistol, and the smoke is not that big. Each of the brothers fired at least three to four hundred rounds in the past two days, and the results are better than before." Anton said to Li En
Field was full of praise. Compared with the Martini Henry rifle, the performance of the Lee Enfield was not improved at all. Until the 21st century, some countries are still using Lee Enfield.
In the past, in the Huayong camp, all the Huayongs were known as "sharp shooters". They must have the foundation. Now that the weapons are more advanced and the logistics are more powerful, they should have better results.
Relatively speaking, the Indian police and the Boer police are much worse. The Boer police are better. The Indian police don't seem to be very interested in weapons. They have been issued pistols for several days. Rock is at the training ground.
I have never seen Indian police officers very often. Rock estimates that most Indian police officers don't know how to shoot, and they don't even think about maintaining their weapons.
"Training work must be stepped up. Don't think that because we are police officers, we don't have to go to the battlefield. In the next few years, the situation in Cape Town will be very chaotic. I will go to the inspector later to see if I can get some horses.
Brothers should also pick up their riding skills." Rock thought far ahead. Compared with Boers and Indians, the quality of the Chinese police was excellent. Rock hoped that the Chinese police could attract the attention of the British with their strength.
Speaking of the riding skills of the Chinese policemen, we have to thank the British for this. In order to allow Huayong to serve safely in the Huayong camp, the British have formulated many benefits, including allowing the Huayong to lend the military horses in the military camp to them.
There are two days a week to hunt rabbits for fun in the dry fields. In addition, the polo fields and football fields in the military camp will be open to Huayong all year round. As long as they are willing, Huayong will have many opportunities to get in touch with new things. Luo
Ke is a polo master.
"The police still go to the battlefield?" Anton didn't expect that being a police officer could be so dangerous.
"If you don't use it now, you won't know for sure in the future." Roque couldn't say too much, as saying too much would reveal the secret.
With a large army gathering in Cape Town now, of course there is no need for Roark and others to go to the battlefield. However, when the army withdraws, the Cape Colony will still have to deal with the rising Boer guerrillas. At that time, the police who maintain public security will have to face the guerrilla attacks.
Compared with the guerrillas, these insurgent attacks are now child's play.
Yes, it was the guerrillas. The Second Boer War was the largest war at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. In this war, many important modern combat theories first emerged, or played an important role for the first time.
As for the Boers, the German General Staff sent military advisers to the Transvaal and Orange, and Switzerland, the Netherlands, France and other countries also sent military observers to South Africa.
Inspired by the British's rapid mobilization of troops through railways and their overwhelming advantage over the Boers, the German General Staff deepened its trust in the "total war" doctrine.
Switzerland, on the other hand, has established its own unique national defense system based on the Boer military philosophy of "all people as soldiers".
At the same time, many new terms have appeared, such as "guerrillas", "concentration camps", and the "bunker tactics" and "scorched earth policy" implemented by Kitchener, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force at the time. Does it look familiar?
Yes, it was the same tactics used by Japan in the war of aggression against China. Even the cruelty of the British was not inferior to that of the Japanese.
Most of the Chinese police officers were training seriously, and only a few were distracted. Luo Yi was one of them. The number of bullet casings on the ground proved it. Others had dozens of bullet casings piled up around them. Luo Yi only had a dozen or so around him.
Rock saw it, but didn't say much. Rock's behavior in the past few days had a great impact on the Chinese police, and the Chinese police still needed time to digest it all.
Before Rock was naturalized in Cape Town, all Chinese police officers planned to fulfill their five-year contracts with the Cape Town Police Department and then return to China with the money they earned. No one had any intention of staying in Cape Town.
Rock's naturalization in Cape Town has set a good example for other Chinese police officers. As far as Rock knows, in just two days, seven or eight Chinese police officers have naturalized in Cape Town and decided to take root in Cape Town.
, and will no longer return to the Qing Dynasty.
The rest of the people are also hesitating. Although it is difficult to leave their homeland, the benefits of naturalizing in Cape Town are there. Looking at their companions getting a salary of five pounds, who is willing to only get 1.2 per month?
What about British pounds?
With the supervision of the inspector, Sharma was finally very efficient and captured two Boers before leaving get off work at noon. Rock immediately started work and began interrogating the two Boers.
Yes, it was an interrogation. Although the two Boers had not committed any crime, according to the British, being born a Boer was inherently guilty, and there was no need for a reason to arrest or torture them.
