When we were in Camp Huayong, the highest military rank a Chinese could obtain was corporal. Above corporal, the Chinese had no chance. No matter how outstanding the Chinese were, corporal was the glass ceiling for the Chinese.
In the Cape Town Police Department, Roque still doesn’t know what the glass ceiling is for the Chinese, but judging from the situation of the Indian police, the police chief should be the glass ceiling for the Indian police. Then by analogy, the police chief is also Chinese.
The police glass ceiling.
Rock's current position is the deputy captain of the commando team, and he wears the title of sergeant, which means that Rock has touched the glass ceiling. If there are no accidents, Rock's peak life will be like this, even if Rock's crime detection rate reaches
One hundred percent, Rock will be a police sergeant in this life.
This is certainly not what Rock wants.
Relatively speaking, there is no glass ceiling for Henry's promotion, so if the relationship between Henry and Rock is strong enough, then Rock can indeed use Henry to climb up.
In this case, Rock's plan will change. Originally, Rock wanted to capture those rebels with his own hands. Now it seems that this credit should be given to Henry, because Rock is very convinced that if Henry captured those rebels with his own hands,
Rebels, then Henry should get much more than Roark could get.
Of course, before that, Rock still had to establish a good relationship with Henry, so after returning to Cape Town, Rock invited Henry to have a drink at the Table Mountain Bar in the evening.
"Really? So generous?" Henry couldn't believe it. A Chinese policeman who was as tough as a cock would take the initiative to treat him.
Well, it may be okay to use iron cock to describe other Chinese policemen, but it is not appropriate to use it to describe Rock. Rock is not stingy. Henry also knows that cigars and champagne are always available in the living room of Rock's dormitory, although Henry has never been to Rock.
Gram's dormitory.
"Forget it if you don't want to go." Rock tried to play hard to get.
"Of course I want to go. I'm going to kill you hard. I know you've made a lot of money recently." Henry immediately took the bait. Anyone who can buy Sharma with 500 pounds will definitely be killed hard.
To be honest, although an Englishman should not admire a Chinese, Henry still admires Roque in terms of "righteousness". Luo Yi is Roque's subordinate, and he is also Henry's subordinate. If Henry had gone to find
Sharma, maybe Henry will say a few good words for Luo Yi, but Henry will never spend all his wealth to bribe Sharma.
Yes, as far as Henry knows, Roark's total net worth is only about 500 pounds now.
This guess is correct. Although Henry does not know all of Roark's income, Roark's current net worth is only about 500 pounds. After all, the more Roark earns, the more he spends. Of course, this algorithm does not include Roark's purchases.
That haunted house, if you don't take into account the hidden attributes of the "haunted house", the actual value of that haunted house has reached about 500 pounds.
As night fell, Rock and Henry walked into the door of the Table Mountain Bar, arm in arm, just like two pure Englishmen who usually went to the bar to have fun.
Yes, the friendship between men is so magical. When he left the governor's manor, Henry had already regarded Roark as a friend, the kind of friend who could talk about anything.
The Table Mountain Bar is the most popular bar in Cape Town. Although the Cape Colony officially does not restrict the opening hours of bars, because Cape Town has now become a military city, there is a curfew in Cape Town after 10 p.m.
, it doesn’t matter if the drinkers are not having enough fun at ten o’clock in the evening, there is a hotel above the Table Mountain Bar, and the drinkers can go to the hotel to get a room and continue the carnival.
As the most popular bar, of course there are all kinds of drinkers. Businessmen traveling to and from Cape Town, local officials, and local residents of Cape Town who come from relatively well-off families are all used to coming to the bar to have fun. Of course, most of them are wearing uniforms.
The lobster soldiers, Cape Town is now a military city, and there should not be too many troops gathered. Ordinary soldiers may not be qualified to spend money in Table Mountain bars. Those noble children who serve in the army don't care, they are already rich.
Rock and Henry were not wearing police uniforms, and of course they were not wearing tuxedos. On a summer night, the gentle sea breeze mixed with the intoxicating aroma of wine, and the air became sticky. Henry originally wore a double-sided suit, but when he saw
After Rock's simple white shirt, Henry immediately ditched the double-sided suit.
Yes, what kind of suit should I wear on a summer evening? A simple white shirt is both concise and capable, and has the vigor of a young man. It is very relaxed.
"Handsome guy, give me two servings of every drink in your bar." Henry looked like he was really going to beat up Roark. When he got to the bar, he opened his mouth and startled Roark.
"He's kidding, have two glasses of Madame Clicquot." Rock wouldn't go crazy like Henry. There are dozens of kinds of wine in the Table Mountain bar, if not a hundred. A glass of each kind would make you drunk or drunk to death.
"How about two drinks? At least two bottles!" Henry slapped the bar and shouted, causing other guests to look at him frequently. Rock was a little embarrassed. He didn't know why. Henry, who was usually normal, looked completely different when he arrived at the bar.
.
In fact, it is normal. Britain is rich in gentlemen, but also drunkards. In the 21st century, British football hooligans and football have gone global together, and alcohol has played an important role.
"Okay, just two bottles." Rock paid and took Henry to sit down in a corner, not wanting to cause trouble.
I can't afford to offend him. There are too many soldiers in Cape Town recently, and 80% of the guests in the bar are lobster soldiers. If there really is a trouble, no matter how powerful Rock is, he will still be unable to defeat the four-handed man with two fists.
"Keep a low profile. Those people have been in a bad mood recently. There is no need to cause trouble." Rock reassured Henry. Because of the failure of the Battle of Ladysmith, the soldiers were not in a good mood. No one could have imagined that Boer, with a total population of less than 400,000, would
How could a human being bring so much trouble to the British Empire at its peak?
"A bunch of trash, even the Boers can't beat them. They really should be in a bad mood." Henry said unforgivingly, but he still knew the severity and his voice was not loud.
"Actually, we can't blame them entirely. Look at their military uniforms. Don't be too conspicuous in the forest or fields. The most popular tactic in the army is linear tactics. It's not surprising that they failed." Rock said casually, since Leidy
After the defeat of Smith's Battle, many people in Cape Town were discussing the war. There were various theories. It would not be surprising no matter what Rock said.
"Isn't linear tactics wrong?" Henry yelled and challenged Rock. Henry also had service experience in the colonial army and did not think it was wrong tactics that led to the British army's failure.
"In the age of flintlocks or muskets, there is indeed nothing wrong with linear tactics, but what about now? Tactics always change with technological progress. If you don't change, war will force you to change." Rock also has to be subtle to Henry.
, this is the real reason why Rock asked Henry to drink.
