Ever since Sharma was sent to Robben Island, no Indian policeman has caused trouble for Rock for a long time. This is partly because Sharma's fate has served as a reminder to the Indian policemen, but also because,
By going to the pier to play games, Dirang could earn three to five pounds each time, which made many Indian policemen envious and jealous. Without hatred, they would not dare.
For this reason, Rock had a good feeling about Indian policemen during this period. When the commando team expanded, Rock even allowed Henry to choose two Indian policemen, expecting them to be unreliable in fighting and move things around.
It's still possible to do logistics.
If this continues, Rock may be able to partially change his view of the Indian police in the future, but on the morning of departure, Rock was completely despairing of the Indian police.
According to the requirements of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Rock and the others must set off before February 15th, so that they can deliver as much supplies as possible to Dordrecht before the British army launches an attack on the eastern front.
Henry had a forethought and set out early on February 14th. Anyway, most Chinese policemen didn't have lovers, and those who had lovers had already broken up.
The night before departure, Rock received an incredible news. One of the two sergeants of the commando team, the Indian Rahul, fell from his chair while taking a nap and broke his arm.
Unable to travel to Dordrecht.
"Broken your arm while sleeping? This reason is so new!" Rock's eyes were really opened to the fact that it can still be done in this way.
"That damn coward, God knows how he broke his arm. He did it on purpose, maybe he broke it himself." Henry gritted his teeth. This behavior was too bad.
But it seems to be normal when it happens to Indians.
"What should we do? We are now missing a sergeant." Rock was a little depressed. The loss of a sergeant would definitely affect the previous arrangements.
According to Henry and Rock's plan, Stanley and Rahul each led a team to guard the front and last two carriages of the train. Rock and Henry led the largest team to defend the middle of the train. Rahul was responsible for
The position is at the rear of the car. Now that Rahul cannot start with the team because he broke his arm, Roque and Henry must assign someone to take charge of the rear part of the car.
"It doesn't matter, the director gave me authorization, and Anton is now the acting police chief." Henry told Rock the good news.
This is good news and an unexpected surprise. Although he does not have the title of acting police chief, as long as Anton does not make mistakes and returns from Dordrecht, Anton's police chief will correct him.
"That bastard Rahul, let him go like this?" Roque didn't want to let him go. He just slacked off a little on weekdays, but when he was about to carry out a mission, Rahul became a deserter. Roque hated this the most.
people.
"Let him go? How is it possible? The director asked Rahul to go to Stellenbosch to recuperate. He will never want to return to Cape Town in his life." Henry laughed loudly. Stellenbosch was not much better than Robben Island.
To be precise, Stellenbosch, like Rock Island, was also a prison, except that Robben Island held prisoners, while Stellenbosch held the families of the escaped Boers.
Since the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War, many Cape Boers fled to the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State to help the Boers and the British fight. Their family members remaining in the Cape have become a factor of instability.
However, these family members did not commit any crime. The British, who were so handsome, could not take strong measures against them, but they could not let them go. Therefore, the British gathered all the families of the escaped Boers to Stellenbosch for investigation.
Centralized management is almost like a refugee camp, which is not the same concept as a concentration camp.
"This is too much for him." Luo Ke hated it. What kind of punishment is this? I'm afraid it's almost the same as a reward.
Perhaps in the eyes of the British, guarding the refugee camp was a hard job, but Rock didn't think so. Don't forget that before the British colonized the Cape, the Boers were very rich, so the refugees in the refugee camp were not the same as those on Robben Island.
Prisoners are two different things. When the British gathered the families of the escaped Boers to Stellenbosch, they did not confiscate their belongings. What's more, the right to distribute supplies was also controlled by the refugee camp guards, so Lahu
My life must not be too comfortable. The guard of the refugee camp is simply the emperor of the refugee camp.
"Cheap? You don't know the situation in the refugee camp. If you knew, I'm afraid you wouldn't think so." Henry knew more about the refugee camp than Rock. It was obvious that in Henry's view, it was not a
Good job.
Is this good——
It varies from person to person.
The train station in the early morning was deserted. The commando team was mainly composed of Chinese policemen, and the Chinese policemen did not have family members in Cape Town, so there were few people on the platform to see him off, and the police station did not arrange a military band to see him off.
Guster Russell didn't show up at all, as if the commandos had been forgotten.
Luo Ke doesn't feel anything. If there is no one to send him, no one will send him. He is happy and quiet. Luo Ke doesn't like the sorrow and sorrow when separation. The omen is not good.
In fact, last night, Zach really hoped to set off with Rock. According to Zach's words, even if he couldn't help, at least he could take care of Rock's life.
Rock didn't think so. Are you kidding? This is a mission, not a sightseeing tour. There might be a battle. Do you need to bring a servant with you to the battlefield?
Rock didn't think he was noble enough.
Rock soon realized that he was wrong. It was not unusual to have a servant on the battlefield these days, so Henry brought one. The figure looked familiar. When he walked in, Rock realized that it was Phyllis.
"Brother, there may be a fight on our trip. Is it really okay to take Phyllis with you?" Rock was a little uneasy. There are no weapons and weapons on the battlefield. If Phyllis has any shortcomings, not to mention Henry, Rock will also
It will hurt.
Henry glared at Roark, then turned to glare at Phyllis, and muttered something that Roark didn't hear clearly.
"Don't look down on people, I joined the Boy Scouts." Phyllis said proudly, as if the Boy Scouts were something special, more powerful than the Boer guerrillas.
"Locke, you may not believe me, but Phyllis's gun is more accurate than yours." Henry looked helpless. It seemed that something happened after Rock left that night that Rock didn't know about.
Rock almost laughed out loud. Henry was afraid that he had some misunderstanding about his shooting skills. Henry had no idea how accurate Rock's shooting skills were, and their bet hadn't even started yet.
"Get on the bus, get on the bus, everyone get into the carriage." The soldiers maintaining order on the platform waved the small red flags in their hands and began to herd people into the carriage.
The train station is now under military control. The police are only responsible for the security outside the train station. All the personnel on duty inside the train station are regular soldiers.
It was only then that Rock discovered that the soldiers on duty on the platform were wearing khaki military uniforms, the same color as the police uniforms, instead of the traditional bright red. It seemed that the British were not so stupid as to be airtight.
