Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 18 Magical

In fact, the situation is even better than Roque expected, because the commandos undertake special missions, which are far more dangerous than ordinary patrols, so Roque's salary has risen to fifteen pounds, and the house worth 150 pounds, Roque is now You can buy it for ten months without eating or drinking.

A salary of fifteen pounds is considered a high salary even in the UK. The middle class in the UK these days is 100 pounds, and those with an annual income of more than 100 pounds have entered the middle class.

Including Henry Matilda and Rock, the total number of commandos was 16, including twelve Chinese and four Boers. Because of Rock's insistence, no Indians were selected.

In order to strengthen firepower, the commandos are equipped with rifles in addition to pistols, but unfortunately, the rifles equipped by the commandos are not the Martini-Henry rifles that Rock and the others are familiar with, but the latest British troops. Lee Enfield.

"The Lee Enfield rifle was just commissioned into the army four years ago. It is currently the most advanced rifle in the world. It has a 0.3-inch caliber, uses smokeless powder, and has a ten-round magazine. This gun was not originally provided to people outside the mainland. Troops, but because of the war against the Boers, we have the opportunity to get it in advance, which is a special benefit that the director has won for us." Henry Matilda didn't know how hard the director scolded the supervisor in the office, and now I didn't feel the pressure. Of course, even if there was pressure, I guess Henry would not be afraid. Henry is British, so he would pat his butt and go back to England at worst.

"I heard from the inspector that the commando team was your idea, so give full play to your ingenuity. I can't find those Boers. Since it was your suggestion, you are responsible for finding them. "Henry fully trusts Rock, although Rock doesn't really want it.

"I'm in charge?" Rock is still not sure what Henry means. Is this letting go of power?

"Yes, you are in charge. The two of us work together in a division of labor. I am in charge of coordinating work and ensuring logistics. You are in charge of investigation and operations. The supervisor trusts you very much, and I trust you too." Henry's expression was very sincere, but Rock only Want to curse, what is coordination and logistics support?I did all the co-authoring work, and we share the credit. It's not your fault that you can't solve the case. It's because I failed your trust, right?

When the swear words came to his lips, Rock swallowed them forcefully, why did he jump up and down?

Isn't it just to gain the trust of the British, now the opportunity has come, as long as those Boers are caught, Rock's future position will be unshakable.

Taking a step back, even if you can't find those Boers, Rock can still find a way to do business. Isn't there a popular joke on the Internet in the 21st century, saying that the special forces of several countries are training together in order to compare who is the best? Yes, they held a competition - put a rabbit into the forest, and whoever finds it within a day of the three troops is the strongest.

The special forces of a country immediately held a meeting to formulate a plan, and quickly launched a blanket search, but found nothing.

Special soldiers from another country lined up outside the forest, holding a loudspeaker and shouting to the inside: Listen up, the rabbits inside, you are surrounded by us, surrender yourself quickly!

Of course nothing happened.

The last special forces were not in a hurry. It was not until dusk that the soldiers picked up their tools and lazily walked into the forest. After a burst of screams from animals, the special forces came out leading a bear with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The bear kept saying, "Stop hitting, I'm a rabbit."

No, no, you can't do this, it's wrong, you have to learn to use the correct method to solve the problem.

"Okay, sir—" Rock began to raise conditions.

"Call me Henry, we're equals now, and I'll call you Locke too." Henry interrupted Rocke, and he had to rely on Rocke to solve the case, so he couldn't be superior.

"Okay Henry, I'm applying for case funding, and I'll take it first—50 pounds." Rock asked for money first, not for embezzlement, but for work.

"Why do you want money?" Henry didn't think Roque wanted too much, but he didn't understand why Roque wanted it.

"We must first obtain information and bribe informants. We must not fool around with our mouths. We must let people see the real money, and the informants will work hard." Rock did not know how the police handled cases in the [-]th century, but seeing Watching so many police and gangster movies is not for nothing, at least it is more reliable than Henry who has no clue.

"Haha, no problem, I'll apply right away, and I know you have a solution." Henry is not afraid to spend money on information, as long as he can solve the case, he will give a little money.

Taking advantage of this effort, Rock arranged for the commando members to go to the training ground to familiarize themselves with weapons, leaving Anton alone.

"Lock, you—" Anton looked at Rock with complicated eyes. The words that Rock said to Anton a few days ago were still in his ears. Anton was still thinking about it, but he didn't expect Rock to move so fast. And it worked so fast.

"Come on Anton, you can do it if you want, I just remind you that the war will end soon, there will be new police departments in Pretoria and Bloemfontein, many positions will be vacant, opportunities will not Will always be there waiting for you." Rock still only reminded, not forcing, but if Anton misses this opportunity, then Rock will stop talking nonsense, you will never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

"I——I will go to naturalize tomorrow." Anton finally made up his mind. The power of role models is infinite. Obviously, they all do the same job. Others earn five pounds a month, and he earns 1.2 pounds a month. Rock takes High salaries are earned by skill, even Li De can now get a higher salary than Anton, which makes Anton really unacceptable.

It’s still easy to communicate with the British. If Roque applied for funding, it would probably take a lot of trouble. Henry didn’t have this problem. Roque only needed 50 pounds, but Henry actually got back 100. This made Roque finally feel to stress.

The cost and the reward are equal. Since the capital in the game is so large, then there must be more to be obtained. If Rock can't do it, then how much capital the British have invested now will affect Rock's fate in the future. How miserable.

It doesn't matter, the matter has come to this point, worrying is useless, let's hurry up and get down to business, Rock went to the training ground and called the two strongest Chinese policemen, and went out with Henry and called a two-wheeled carriage to go directly to the prison.

The two-wheeled carriage is the taxi of this era. Rock’s salary was not enough to hire a carriage in the past. There are two types of carriage charges, one is calculated according to the distance, six pence per mile in the urban area, and one shilling per mile in the suburbs. The other is based on time, two shillings within one hour, and six pence for every 15 minutes after more than one hour.

Is it familiar?

Yes, the nineteenth century was so magical.
