Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1 Rock

Cape Town, November 1899, 11.

Same as the previous two days, just after dawn, Rock came to sit down on the steps in front of the corridor, staring at the distant sky in silence.

Cape Town in this era was not yet the second largest city in South Africa, and the concept of South Africa did not even exist at this time. At this time, Cape Town was only the capital of the British Cape Colony, and the Cape Colony was in the midst of a German settlement established with the Boers. During the war between the Republic of Lansva and the Republic of Orange.

In other words, it was during the second Boer War. Because of the discovery of the Rand gold mine, the British launched a war against the Boers. The stubborn Boers never surrendered. With the support of almost all European countries, Waging an indomitable war with the British.

Just last month, the British were completely defeated at the Battle of Ladysmith, with 1139 British soldiers killed in battle, about 250 missing, and the British troops also lost 10 cannons on the battlefield, while the Boer army only 8 people were killed and 30 were injured.

Almost at the same time, the British army also suffered defeats in Kimberley on the western front and Stormberg on the central line, with a total loss of more than 2800 people. General S. Buller resigns.

After the news of the defeat of the British army on the front line reached Cape Town, there was turmoil in Cape Town, which was already restless. Rock was a policeman in Cape Town. Rock was attacked on patrol a week ago. With reinforcements, Roque survived, but Roque remained in a coma due to brain trauma. When he woke up again, Roque of the 21th century became Roque of the [-]st century.

This is not a prank, but a legendary crossing.

After confirming this, it took Rock two days to convince himself to accept all this.

What if you don't accept it?

Rock didn't know why he was able to travel through time, so there was no way for Rock to travel back. Since there was no way to change this fact, then he had to actively adapt, at least return to work in the police station as soon as possible, otherwise the British might really take the Rock was sent back to Hong Kong to recuperate.

Don't think this is a good thing. According to Roque's understanding of the British, most of the British will not be so kind. If Roque boards the boat, there is a [-]% chance that he will be thrown into the sea by the British to feed the fish. Anyway, in this world, Roque Without relatives, the British don't even have to pay pensions.

What's more, Roque didn't want to go back to Hong Kong, let alone the Qing Dynasty. Before coming to Cape Town, Roque was a member of the Huayong Camp. Ordinary people may not know about the Huayong Camp, but as a half-hearted history buff, Roque I just know the Huayong Battalion. This unit is known as the most elite traitor unit in history. Their most glorious moment was in the Eight-Power Allied Forces invasion of China, because they fought bravely in the battle to break the capital of the Qing Dynasty. As a British army A member of the Forbidden City military parade.

Although the British claimed that this was a reward for the Huayong Camp, if you think about it carefully, you will know how vicious the British are. This fact, while firmly nailing Huayongying to the pillar of historical shame, also completely solved the problem of Huayongying's loyalty. No matter what reason they joined Huayongying, they all became traitors of their own ethnic group. not accepted by their own group.

So don't even think about going back to the Qing Dynasty, just be a policeman in Cape Town honestly, and be the dog's leg of the British.

"Luo, how do you feel? Are you going to be discharged from the hospital today?" A gentle voice woke Roque up. This is Melody, the nurse in charge of caring for Roque. She is a descendant of the Dutch, which is what the British call Bull Farmers, in fact, Boers are also white, and they are not the same thing as Cape natives.

This description is not correct. After more than 200 years of colonization, the Boers can already be regarded as Cape natives. However, after the British seized the Cape Colony from the Boers, they stubbornly classified the Boers and local blacks as indigenous. Even though the Boers are not much different from the British in appearance.

"I feel good, thank you Melody, I want to go back to work as soon as possible, my colleagues complained to me several times because I was away, and the dogs on that street have been a lot more aggressive lately." Thanks After many years of foreign trade career, Rock's English is not bad. Although he can't speak the standard London accent, he can communicate with most British people without any problem.

This is enough to surprise Melody. Few Chinese in this era understand English, and even if they do, most of them are as proficient in English as Indians. They have strange accents and grammatical mistakes can be seen everywhere, even if they are officially equipped by Huayong Camp. Translators often need to assist gestures when communicating with British officers. Even so, they are often confused.

Rock can understand this feeling. In the past, when doing foreign trade, many foreigners thought their Chinese was good and insisted on communicating with Rock in Chinese. This was often the most painful moment for Rock. He was obviously MMP in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face. One cannot dispel the enthusiasm of foreign friends to learn Chinese, no.

"Luo, your English is very good. Where did you learn it?" Melody turned into a curious baby in an instant. It's really good. In terms of pure accent, Rock's English is more standard than Melody's. The difference between them is probably There is such a big difference between Mandarin and Cantonese.

"My former officers, you know, they are all pure English." Rock dared to swear that he used "pure" and definitely not "pure breed", but it was obviously a good word, from Rock The taste of "pure breed" came out of his mouth, which immediately made Melody tremble.

As a Boer, although Melody is now working for the British, don't expect Melody to have much affection for the British. Rock's situation is the same as that of Melody. It's like two colleagues complaining when they have a private meal Boss, quickly shortened the distance between each other.

Of course, Melody would not ask why the British officer of the Huayong Battalion would teach a Chinese to Rock to learn English. Although this sounds unreasonable, who can not have a secret.

Besides, even if Melody asked that, Roque had something to say. After all, Roque was not an ordinary soldier in the Huayong Camp, but an ordinary corporal. highest rank ever obtained.

"Okay then, then there will be a pure English doctor to examine you, as long as you get his approval, then you can go back to work, otherwise you may be sent back to the Far East." Melody said, Immediately lifted Rock's heart.

Melody may not know what being sent back to the Qing Dynasty means to Roque, but Roque does.

　Finally opened a new book, asking for a wave of votes
