After Christmas, Winston returned to the front line to participate in the battle to relieve the siege of Kimberley. Three days ago, Winston had just arrived in Dordrecht and was preparing to participate in the attack on Ladysmith.
"——I heard at noon that a force had annihilated a Boer guerrilla force. By the afternoon, almost everyone was talking about you, saying that you defeated Joubert and killed Louis Botha, and what's even more amazing is that
, it was actually a group of policemen who did all that. When I heard that the heroes were a group of policemen, I immediately knew it must be you. You are the most amazing policemen in the world. There is nothing the Imperial Army can't do. For
It's easy for you, tell me how you did it, and your names will once again be resounding throughout the British Empire." Winston kept talking, and the central idea was just one sentence, give me a chance to interview you. p>
Uh, by the way, I almost forgot, Winston is a military reporter.
Also, Winston was captured by Louis Botha. Louis Botha was the most outstanding general of the Boer coalition. In a few months, he would succeed Joubert as the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition. After the establishment of the South African Union, Louis Botha
Tha was the first Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa.
After reading Luis Botha’s resume, I feel that it is not so unacceptable that Winston was captured by Luis Botha.
Unfortunately, neither Roque nor Henry knew who Joubert was, nor did they know who Louis Botta was, so Winston's excitement seemed more or less crazy to Roque and Henry.
Ingredients.
If it were two months ago, neither Rock nor Henry would let go of the opportunity to become famous. Now times have changed, and Rock and Henry have fully felt the consequences of becoming famous, so Rock and Henry are not very excited.<
/p>
"Who is Luis Botha?" Henry did not directly agree to Winston's interview request.
"You don't know?" Winston's expression froze. After confirming that neither Roque nor Henry was lying, Winston laughed loudly: "That is probably a rumor. Let me just say, people like Luis Botta,
I will definitely kill him with my own hands, and I will personally wash away the shame imposed on me by Luis Botha."
Imposed?
Not necessarily. As a reporter accompanying the army, Winston carried weapons with him when he went to the front line to report. That’s why the Boer coalition detained Winston. This is not an imposition, it is deserved!
However, neither Roark nor Henry meant to refute Winston. They smiled at each other and raised the enamel jars filled with hot coffee to signal to each other that fame, fortune and fortune were all in vain.
"Hey, aren't you excited? You have won the victory. You will definitely be commended by the expeditionary force headquarters. You may even be awarded a medal by the Queen. This is a real military merit!" Winston did not understand.
Why did Grams and Henry act so indifferently?
The British Empire has now passed the barbaric pioneering period. If you want to obtain a title, you must have military merit. Generally speaking, military merit is earned through hard work, so military merit is very important. Winston has been in the army for many years, but he still has none
You can imagine how difficult it is to obtain military merit rewards.
"Sit down, Winston, sit down and take a rest, don't be so excited -" Rock said lightly, the blazing bonfire shone on Rock's face, and it seemed that the skin color of Rock and Henry was no different: "Know that we
How many people were there when we left Cape Town? Along the way, we have lost twelve brothers, so, sorry Winston, I don’t feel there is anything to be excited about, maybe only this cup of coffee after the fierce battle,
Only then can I feel that I am still alive."
"Why do you think so? Isn't it normal to die in war? Just because we are still alive, we have to be grateful." Winston did not understand Rock's sadness.
"If you knew what we went through, I believe Winston you wouldn't think so. When you heard that a group of policemen attacked the Boer coalition positions, didn't you realize why this happened?
?" Rock can be more subtle, but Henry is so direct.
"Why?" Winston was not stupid, and immediately turned pale: "You mean, that report——"
"Winston, we are friends. I don't mean to blame you, but Winston, I really don't want to be in the newspaper anymore. The protagonists of this war should be the soldiers, not us policemen." Henry can understand now.
The meaning of virtue is not matched, and blindly praising sometimes is not a good thing, but flattering and killing.
Winston did not argue anymore and sat down silently by the bonfire, watching the blazing bonfire in silence.
Although Winston is still very young, it does not mean that Winston does not understand the ways of the world. On the contrary, Winston, who grew up in a noble family, has an extraordinary sensitivity to conspiracies. When Winston reported on Henry, he may not have
He did not expect that this might cause trouble for Henry and Rock, but Henry and Rock are policemen, affiliated to the colonial government of Cape Town, and the Expeditionary Force Headquarters are two different systems. Winston does not think that the Expeditionary Force
Command can threaten Henry and Rock.
Things in the world are unpredictable. Winston has long ago learned to use all objective factors to achieve his goals, but Winston has never deeply understood the serious consequences that certain potential dangers may cause.
Rock and Henry didn't want to talk either. Rock was thinking about the future, and Henry was helping Phyllis fix her hair.
Phyllis rested on Henry's legs and fell into a deep sleep. The experience of the past few days was too impactful for Phyllis. The world of the Boy Scouts was completely different from that of adults.
Not far away, the remaining commandos were gathered around several bonfires. They were wrapped in blankets and cuddling with each other. Some were fast asleep, some were whispering, and some were sharing what they had captured during the day's battle.
Although the bonfire can only warm half of their bodies, they are not alone because there are brothers behind them.
After a long time, a knight passed by not far from Rock and his camp, and the breeze brought some intermittent words.
"——They captured the position of the Boer coalition. They also annihilated a group of Boer guerrillas before. It is unbelievable that a group of policemen did all this——"
"This is a disgrace to the Empire - 2,500 soldiers of the Expeditionary Force continued to attack a position defended by less than 300 Boers for a week - in vain, with a loss of troops - but a group of policemen completed this task, the Expeditionary Force
The generals should reflect on——"
"——Our problem now is, how to deal with these policemen, they should not appear on the battlefield——"
"-Then let them do what they should do--don't add any more extraneous matters, there are already enough troubles--"
