Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 149

If the Welch Fusiliers had a better attitude when Rock went to the Summerfield Gold Mine in the morning, then there was still room for negotiation on this matter.

now-

Why do you want to go!

The second lieutenant obviously didn't think so. He probably didn't expect that Rock would refuse so simply, so the second lieutenant's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Well, it's really a lobster now, it's not working hours, and the second lieutenant is wearing a red uniform.

"Inspector, this is the meaning of our regiment leader. Now this case is in your police station's responsibility!"

"Hehe, you said this morning that your Welch Fusiliers are responsible for this matter, so please be responsible to the end. This is what the Chief of the Johannesburg Police Department means." Grilled mushrooms.

Well, the skill of the cooks of Jinshan Hotel, that is, roasted mushrooms can still be eaten.

"Okay, very good!" The second lieutenant pointed at Rock rudely, his whole arm was shaking.

"Indeed, the taste of mushrooms is good." Rock was serious, and he was so angry that he was eating.

The temper of the regular army was indeed very strong. Early the next morning, Rock received a telegram from the Governor's Office, asking Rock to go to Pretoria and explain to Alfred Milner in person.

Heh, can a child fight but be called a parent?

Useless stuff!

On the train, Rock finally met Norman Teresa, the head of the Welch Fusiliers.

Norman Teresa's attitude was as arrogant as that annoying second lieutenant, and he didn't mean to say hello to Rock.

Rock didn't make fun of himself, everyone was his master, no one was afraid of the other!

-

When Roque came to the Governor's Mansion, Roque unexpectedly discovered that the lineup waiting for Roque was unexpectedly strong.

In fact, they were all acquaintances that Rock had met, Governor Alfred Milner, and Commander-in-Chief Horatio Herbert Kitchener of the Expeditionary Force.

It can't be said that they are familiar, it's just a chance encounter, but they have indeed met.

General Kitchener had just succeeded General Roberts as Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, and General Roberts had been transferred back to the British mainland to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, General Kitchener was in Pretoria to attend the inauguration of Governor-General Alfred Milner.

Unexpectedly, before the inauguration ceremony started, such a bloody drama was staged first.

"I was on my way back to Johannesburg yesterday morning to investigate the attack, but when I arrived at the Somerfield Gold Mine, I found out that the Welch Fusiliers had taken over the mine - I was I asked to take over, but was rejected by a second lieutenant from the Welch Fusiliers Regiment—last night, the second lieutenant approached me and asked to transfer the case to the Johannesburg Police Station, but what people did not expect was that the entire scene had been destroyed. It was devastated, and all the traces left by the guerrilla attack were completely destroyed. All the materials in the Summerfield Gold Mine warehouse had been evacuated, including the mansion where the mine owner lived. The guerrillas even brought carpets with them. gone--"

The expressions of Alfred Milner and Horatio Kitchener grew more and more exciting as Roark made his statement.

Everyone is not a fool. What the guerrillas want is gold and supplies. Why do they want carpets?

So although Roque said that the carpet was taken away by the guerrillas, in fact, it was already clear who took the carpet away.

As for the materials in those warehouses, they are actually very helpful in solving the case. The materials in the Summerfield Gold Mine warehouse must be recorded. If no one destroys the scene, then through comparison, we can know that the guerrillas are What was stolen and how much was stolen, then you can roughly calculate how fast the guerrillas are and whether there is a need for pursuit, which is very helpful for solving the case.

According to Rock, all of this no longer exists, so it is impossible to talk about chasing and suppressing the guerrillas.

In other words, is it not the task of the army to wipe out the guerrillas?

"Nonsense, you didn't investigate the scene at all, you made up all of this." Norman Teresa roared wildly. After he left the Summerfield Gold Mine, he received a report from the second lieutenant, and then reported it to the Expeditionary Force Command A telegram was sent.

In fact, Norman Theresa didn't know whether the police station had taken over the Summerfield Gold Mine. Neither Norman Theresa nor the second lieutenant thought that Rock would dare to refuse. Considering that Rock refused so simply , so Norman Theresa never thought of sending someone back to the Summerfield Gold Mine.

"Your last carriage left the Summerfield Gold Mine at six o'clock in the evening. A total of eleven carriages left before that. After you left, the police who were ordered to stay behind immediately took over the Summerfield Gold Mine. In order to find the A guerrilla team, dozens of policemen worked all night, and now they are still working, how can you say that?" Rock's counterattack was sharper.

Eleven carriages!

This information is very important. It seems that the Welch Fusiliers have gained a lot!

When Rock just walked into the conference room, Kitchener had already connected Rock with the "Rock" in his memory, so Kitchener looked at Rock very complicatedly.

It was this person who made the entire expeditionary army look ashamed.

If it wasn't for Henry to hide his shame, the expeditionary force could lose face to the whole world.

It was also because of this person that the expeditionary army finally had a fig leaf. It was widely publicized as the record of the expeditionary army to directly kill Joubert, the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition army in battle.

With all this background, Kitchener's attitude toward Rock is complicated.

After listening to Rock's statement, Kitchener looked at Norman's eyes again, full of anger.

Damn, be greedy and be greedy, don't be caught by others!

Being caught, but I don't know it, and I still have the face to go to Pretoria to sue, you are as thick-skinned as I am, right? ! ! !

There is a tradition of guarding the shortfalls of the army.

In fact, not to mention the army, within the interim government, Alfred Milner will also defend his shortcomings. If this time it is not the Welch Fusiliers who made a mistake, but the Johannesburg Police Department made a mistake, then Alfred Milner will also do the same. Will protect Rock.

No need now, the fact is obvious that the Welch Fusiliers Group did not put their minds on chasing down the guerrillas when they were performing their missions, but on how to gain benefits.

This is actually an unspoken rule. If the Welch Fusiliers Group wiped out the guerrillas in time, then no one would have anything to say, and Norman Teresa would be rewarded for his meritorious service.

now-
