Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 13 Commendations

In the early morning, Roque got up early to wash up, and he was going to work officially from today, and Roque wanted to make a good impression on his boss.

When other colleagues got up, Rock had already finished his morning exercises and took a cold shower. Cape Town was in summer in November, and the climate was completely different from that of Qing Dynasty.

Cape Town has a typical Mediterranean climate. Summer is from November to February of the following year, and winter is from May to August. Cape Town's summer climate is warm and dry, with an average maximum temperature of 26 degrees, which can be called a climate pleasant.

Putting on a full set of police uniforms, Roque felt pretty good about himself. After enjoying a hearty breakfast in the cafeteria, Roque came to the police station early to start his day's work.

"Luo, you came at the right time. Take this box of pistols back. From today, we will also be equipped with weapons." There are sixteen policemen in Rock's detachment, and the name of the police chief is Henry Matilda. Rock was lucky. He met Henry Matilda as soon as he arrived at the police station: "You came early enough, I thought you were going to rest for a few days."

It must be said that the Chinese police and Indian police, including those of Indian origin, are lazy enough. Before working hours, the police will not come to the police station even if they have nothing to do in the dormitory. For most people, this is a job That's all.

But for Rock, this is a channel for upward promotion, so Rock has to be more active. No, just come to work half an hour earlier, and Rock has the opportunity to communicate with Henry Matilda alone.

"Call me Locke, Sheriff, this is my English name. I hope I can be as strong as a rock. I have rested long enough." Rock moved quickly, picked up the box and followed Henry Matilda Beside him, he was slightly behind by half a body.

"Locke, a very good name, this idea is very good." Henry Matilda was a little surprised. Among the Chinese policemen Henry Matilda came into contact with, Rock was the first to have an English name.

If it were Anton and the others, they would probably insist on not changing their surname and row or name. In fact, this is the same as whether they should burn paper or take a bouquet of flowers when going to the grave. There is no need to insist. Think about it differently. I work and live in the Qing Dynasty, so is it more convenient to choose a Chinese name for myself?At least this is more acceptable to the people of the country.

The same goes for Roque and the Chinese overseas. In a city where white people are the main body, then you must actively accept everything in this city, including your name, and you must not be incompatible with this city, so that others can see your efforts. , I am willing to give you a chance, and only then will I have the possibility of promotion.

A very simple fact, why can Sharma be a sheriff?

Because on the day Sharma came to Cape Town, he applied for naturalization in Cape Town and became an official Cape Townian. This is the correct attitude. salary, boycotting everything the British do, even unwilling to learn English other than the common language.

"Thank you. If it is convenient, I will go to the Immigration Bureau to apply for naturalization tomorrow, and then I will see if there is a suitable house nearby. If possible, I will make my home in Cape Town." Rock did things very simply, since he wanted to If you want to take refuge in the British, then you should be thorough and cut off all your back roads, so that you can gain the trust of the British.

"This is the right idea, Locke. I support you in doing so. In this way, I will give you another day off, and you go and finish this matter first." Henry Matilda encouraged Rock to naturalize as soon as possible. According to the general trend of the general colony, there are too few British people, so they have to rely on foreign population to rule the huge colonies all over the world.

"No, I can do this by the way when I go to patrol the streets, and it won't affect my work." Rock has a very clear goal. Compared with a day off, leave a job for the boss to be serious and responsible. impression is more important.

"Very well, it's rare that you have the thought. Pick one of these pistols, and then go to the training ground to shoot a few rounds. You need to familiarize yourself with your weapon as soon as possible." Henry Matilda looked at Rock full of appreciation , this is what Rock wants.

What Rock and the others are going to equip is a Webley revolver. The biggest feature of this pistol is that when the shooter folds the barrel down, the bullet casings in the cylinder will also pop out at the same time, making it easier for the shooter to reload.

The Webley revolver began to be equipped with British troops in 1877. The Second Boer War was the first time that the Webley revolver was widely used. Compared with the previous pistols, the Webley revolver was advanced enough. This pistol has a higher The processing standard of the standard, so the performance is reliable, durable, but at the same time the shortcomings of the Webley revolver are also obvious, such as slow rate of fire, insufficient muzzle kinetic energy, too much recoil and so on.

In fact, they are all new guns, and there is nothing to pick and choose. Rock took one at random. Henry Matilda recorded the gun number. This gun belongs to Rock. Rock can even take the gun back to the dormitory. It is stipulated that each gun is equipped with 30 rounds of ammunition, but this is not limited. Cape Town is the logistics base for attacking the Boers. The hoarding of ammunition is simply not too much. Rock easily received 200 rounds from the warehouse at one time. bullet.

It was so easy. Fortunately, Rock was not short of money for the time being, otherwise reselling bullets would be a good business.

After getting the bullet, Rock immediately turned around and went to the training ground. Although Rock was in good health, it was obvious that the pistol was more lethal. Rock had to spend the shortest time to familiarize himself with his weapon.

呯——呯——呯——

Rock's shooting speed is not fast. While ensuring the accuracy as much as possible, Rock must feel the recoil of the pistol with his heart.

For ordinary people, the recoil of a Webley revolver may be too large, but for Rock, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, this level of recoil is acceptable. Although this is the first time he has come into contact with a Webley revolver, Luo Ke's talent is good, and he will soon be able to hit a score of more than eight rings in the ten-meter target.

Yes, it is a ten-meter target. For pistols, the pursuit of range is meaningless. Most of the occasions where pistols are used are close-range encounters or indoors. It is more meaningful to ensure the speed of shooting and the accuracy of the first shot. In this regard, Rock He is very experienced. In the Huayong camp, Rock's shooting performance was excellent.

Of course, this is nothing to brag about. Most of Huayong's shooting results are excellent. The British military officers praised Huayong as a sharpshooter with every shot. This is a rare compliment.

　There are two regular updates every day, the stability is terrible, can I ask for a ticket——
