Chapter 110

It is an obvious fact that although the Expeditionary Force Command once targeted Rock and the Commando, that does not mean that Rock can launch a counterattack. Compared with the Expeditionary Force Command, let alone the Commando, even the Cape The size of the London Police Department is far inferior, so even if Roque described in detail what happened to the commando in Dordrecht, the Expeditionary Force Command would not be punished, but Roque and the commando would be punished. The revenge to the expeditionary army headquarters is something that Rock can't bear now.

This is the best way now. Rock knows what he has experienced, but he didn't say anything. Sir Roberts and General Kitchener may or may not know what the commandos encountered in Dordrecht, but after today, Roberts The Jazz and General Kitchener will definitely take the initiative to understand, and by then, Rock's performance today will definitely impress them.

"Tell me about Emily Hobhouse, and those two German priests." Viscount Wollaston finally remembered what his purpose was.

"Yes, Your Excellency, two months ago, Ms. Emily Hobhouse and two German priests came to Stellenbosch—" Rock did not hide this time, even once with Emily All the disputes between Hobhouse were revealed.

"You mean, shortly after Ms. Emily Hobhouse left, the prisoners in the refugee camp rioted and tried to escape?" Viscount Wollaston's face was very ugly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, a week after Lady Emily Hobhouse left Stellenbosch, the prisoners of war in the refugee camp tried to escape, and two guards were attacked and killed. Major Bill Bradley led the troops to arrive in time, and they stopped the riot of the prisoners of war—" Rock was calm, and Bill Bradley was outside the meeting room, and he would also be questioned later.

This is the benefit of taking precautions. If Roque had not gone to Bill Bradley at the beginning, but swallowed all the credit, then the authenticity of everything Roque said today would be compromised. This matter needs to be investigated. In that case, it may affect Rock's transformation of Oak Town.

It's much better now, with Bill Bradley's evidence, Roque's words are true enough, maybe the investigation team will not trust Rock because of his skin color, but the investigation team has no reason to doubt Bill Bradley.

By the way, Bill Bradley also came from an aristocratic family.

This time after Roque finished speaking, Viscount Wollaston did not continue to ask. Several big men glanced at each other. In front of Roque, they would definitely not express their views. August Russell finally said: "Inspector Locke , you can leave now."

It was finally over, Rock secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood at attention, put on his hat, saluted, turned around, stood at attention, and strode away.

"How?" Henry, who was circling at the door, was impatient.

Rock made an affirmative expression, exchanged a "good luck" look with Bill Bradley who passed by, and then took a deep breath.

"How?" Henry's eyes were full of hope.

"It's okay." There was a large group of secretaries and guards at the door, and Rock couldn't say much.

"Great!" Henry was overjoyed, and patted Rock on the shoulder before he remembered where it was.

As for the Governor's Mansion, don't make any mistakes——

Although the questioning is over, Rock and Henry can't leave yet. Senior Inspector Austin Burns, Winston who returned from the front line, and Rock and Henry are waiting in line at the door for questioning. The major I met—

Oh, and Sergeant Rahul, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, is now dull-eyed, darkened, dull-faced, pale-faced, disheveled, sluggish, sluggish, and mournful—

Well, a bad omen!

The questioning of Bill Bradley only lasted 10 minutes. After he came out of the meeting room, Bill Bradley was overjoyed. No need to ask, his expression said it all.

After a set of procedures, only Sergeant Rahul was dragged out by the guards. Rahul was dragged out like a walking corpse.

Roque looked at Rahul who was taken away. Although the current refugee camp is in order, it is a fact that the death rate in the refugee camp reached 20.00% three months ago. No one can change it. This is not the responsibility of the expeditionary force headquarters. Responsibility, not the Cape Town Police Department's responsibility, nor Rock and Bill Bradley's responsibility, but someone has to be responsible for this, so Rahul is the scapegoat.

"Locke, you've done a good job. Go change your clothes and attend the dinner that His Excellency the Governor prepared for Viscount Wollaston later." August Russell walked out of the meeting room with the same happy expression.

It's right to be happy, Roque changed clothes very conveniently, Mill Street is not far from the Governor's Mansion, Roque and Henry rode back, and after changing their clothes, they came back in a carriage without any delay.

Contrary to Locke's expectations, the dinner was not a buffet, but a very formal dinner.

Rock sat with Henry, Winston, and Bill Bradley, and from the beginning to the end, he didn't find a chance to show his presence in front of the big shots, but after the dinner, Rock was captured by Alfred Governor Milner's secretary remained and was summoned by the Governor alone.

"Sit down, Inspector Locke." Alfred Milner's attitude was very kind, and he didn't show his authority in front of Rock. A guy with a little bit of power can't wait to magnify that little bit of power to the extreme.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor." Rock's body was tense, and he was still a little nervous.

It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous. Alfred Milner can determine the fate of Roque and all Chinese policemen to a large extent, so Roque dare not be lighthearted.

"Don't be nervous, Inspector Locke, tell me about the Boers in the refugee camp, what's your impression of them?" Alfred Milner didn't force him, leaning lightly on the back of the sofa, holding a coffee cup in one hand , stirring gently with a coffee spoon in one hand.

Rock was not so relaxed and comfortable. After listening to Alfred Milner's question, Rock first organized his language before speaking softly: "Those women in the refugee camp are not representative. Their families are broken and they have no one to rely on. Many people still have to take care of their children, so they can give up everything for their children. As far as the Boers I have contacted, the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange are far more barbaric than those in the Cape. And more hostile to us—"

Not long after, Alfred Milner will go to Pretoria to serve as the chief executive and governor of the Transvaal and Orange regions. This should be considered a big test.

 In the last few days, there should be two updates. If there is no accident, it will be put on the shelves at the beginning of next month. Now I will start to save the manuscript. When the time comes, who dares to say that the fish head is short and weak——
