Rock and Henry are probably on the Expeditionary Force Command's blacklist now. They were almost killed by the Expeditionary Force Command in Dordrecht before. Now if Rock and Henry return to Dordrecht with Joubert's body,
Hutt, I still don’t know how stimulated the generals at the expeditionary force headquarters are.
"Don't be stupid. We can't go back to the expeditionary force headquarters. We have to go to Kimberley and then return to Cape Town." Rock doesn't want to go to Dordrecht to seek death. Returning to Cape Town is the most serious thing. At least he has to go.
Kimberly, killing Joubert is a top military achievement. Rock doesn't want those guys on the Eastern Front to get any benefits.
What's more, what can you gain by returning to Dordrecht?
Nothing can be gained except the jealousy of military generals.
"Yes, we have to carry out the mission." Henry is not stupid, Rock clicked, and Henry immediately woke up.
Then continue to Kimberley.
Back on the road, the commando team grew stronger. In the battle to kill Joubert, the commando team captured more than 300 horses, which were used by Joubert and his guards. They are now the trophies of the commando team.
In addition to the war horses, the commando team also captured 152 prisoners of war. Henry originally wanted to take those civilians with him, but Rock vetoed it.
What Rock is most worried about now is the retaliation of the Boer coalition. The commando killed Joubert.
A Joubert alone is valuable enough.
Finally, there were enough horses, and there were still some left for each person. All the prisoners were loaded onto the carriages, and the commando advanced towards Kimberley as quickly as possible.
The city of Kimberley was founded in 1870. It is a city that appeared with diamonds. The owner of this city was Cecil Rhodes, the former Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Kimberley was once known as
The Boer coalition forces besieged Kimberley. Half a month ago, the expeditionary force had just lifted the siege of Kimberley by the Boer coalition forces.
For a new city, if there is no planning, then the urban construction part of the entire city will have nothing worthy of attention. Coupled with the baptism of war some time ago, Kimberley looks even more dilapidated, with ruins and burned ruins everywhere.
Sometimes there are even corpses that have not been cleaned up on the roadside. Pedestrians on the road and soldiers passing by are accustomed to this.
If possible, the expeditionary force did not want any Boer prisoners. Although the expeditionary force headquarters clearly stipulated that Boer prisoners who had surrendered should be treated preferentially, in actual implementation, few Boer prisoners survived, so when the commando arrived in Kimberley
At that time, more than two hundred prisoners were really eye-catching.
"You only have 100 prisoners on your roster, why are there 252 now?" The lieutenant responsible for receiving prisoners of war was quite polite, and his attitude was much better than that of the major in Dordrecht.
"We eliminated another Boer guerrilla on the way to Kimberley. We brought the prisoners and corpses, as well as the captured rifles and horses." Henry was arrogant, and the next words were shocking: "We also killed
He found Joubert, and his body was on the carriage behind.
Joubert?!
The lieutenant raised his head so quickly that his glasses fell off the bridge of his nose.
"Are you sure it's Joubert?" The lieutenant was in a hurry and accidentally knocked over the chair when he stood up from the chair. The lieutenant didn't care, holding the table and looking behind Henry.
"Yes, it's Joubert. The prisoners have confessed. They are Joubert's guards." Henry raised his eyebrows. What happened to the police?
The police can do things that even the regular army cannot do!
I'm so mad at you!
Because he was in a happy mood, Henry's voice was a little loud, and the soldiers around him also heard the name "Joubert". As soon as Henry finished speaking, the soldiers gathered around with a "boom", wanting to pay their respects to the famous Boer Allied Forces Commander-in-Chief.
After seeing the commander's remains, the commandos who were originally guarding the carriage were pushed out of the crowd.
As the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition, Joubert's name was in the spotlight. This news was immediately reported to the expeditionary force headquarters. Lord Roberts, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, returned to Kimberley from the Orange front that day. Chief of Staff Kitchener also returned from Dodd.
Recht rushed to Kimberley, where Henry and Rock were placed in a mansion that originally belonged to Cecil Rhodes, and the other commandos were also properly accommodated.
"It's so comfortable, Locke. I will build a swimming pool like this in the future." Henry soaked in a bathtub that was as big as a swimming pool, enjoying the services of two Boer girls. One Boer girl was applying shower gel to Henry's body, and the other was
A Boer girl peels grapes and feeds them to Henry.
"Oh, I also have a swimming pool at my home in Cape Town. What's so strange?" Rock also has two Boer girls around him, but Rock doesn't need their clothes. The two girls are fanning Rock.
The water is really hot, I guess it’s a hot spring.
"Your swimming pool is outdoor, and this one is indoor, how do you compare?" Henry exposed Rock's hypocritical face, well, the grapes are a bit sour!
"The outdoor one is also a swimming pool. You can't even put a fish tank in your house." Rock had to admit that Cecil Rhodes's house was a real mansion. Compared with this mansion, Rock's home pales in comparison.
Clumsy, full of boring nouveau riche.
"Tell me what reward we can get this time. I think the queen will make me an earl!" Henry's biggest dream in this life is to surpass his father's title, so that Henry can return home in glory.
Otherwise, Henry will be in trouble. He will be kicked out of the army for seducing the general's daughter. This is an act that will bring shame to the entire family. If Henry doesn't have any outstanding achievements, he can only hope that Matilda's family will
The family law will not be too strict.
"Dream, I guess there is only one baron." Roark doesn't want to discuss this issue. Henry can still look forward to a title. Roark doesn't even have to think about it. Roark will be thankful to be an inspector.
In the British aristocratic system, baron is the lowest-ranking title. Henry's father's title was baron. Don't think that baron is easy to obtain. During his tenure, Alfred Milner, the governor of the Cape Colony, annexed the Republic of Transvaal and Austria.
The Lanzhi Free State only received one baronetcy.
"Impossible, that's Joubert, at least he has to be a viscount." Henry was not willing to get just one baron. This might be the closest Henry got to a title in his life. If it was just a baron, how could Henry be willing to accept it?<
/p>
It doesn't matter, whether he is a baron or a viscount, as long as Henry can obtain the title, then Roque will have a thigh thick enough, and he can walk sideways in the Cape in the future.

Roque was knighted by the Queen of England for his meritorious service, with a fourth-level knighthood, named: No Change——
