Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 38

In order to allow the police officers to appear in front of the dignitaries, the Cape Town Police Department has prepared 500 pounds for this security activity. The demeanor and polite language of the police officers.

"Etiquette is to say one sentence to a gentleman, one sentence to a lady, smile before speaking, and bow at every turn." Anton complained a lot, in fact, because Anton had just gone to a tailor to order clothes, but the police station To distribute uniforms to the police, this made Anton deeply resentful.

It was a full ten pounds, and Anton still feels quite painful when he thinks about it now.

"Don't be ridiculous. If you bring your own dresses, the cost of the clothes prepared by the bureau will be discounted. You'd better cut your hair too." Rock was very dissatisfied with Anton's hairstyle, and the yin and yang hair is so worth nostalgic?In white society, only women who violate ethics and morals will have their heads shaved.

"Is it right for you? I don't want to be a monk." Rock didn't like Anton's hairstyle, and Anton didn't like Rock. In the Qing Dynasty, only monks could shave their heads like Rock.

"If you don't get a haircut, then you won't be able to participate in security operations." Rock smiled, empty words are not as touching as real money.

"Is it still discounted if you don't participate in security operations?" Anton still cared about money.

"What do you think?" Rock smiled even more happily. Of course, if he didn't participate in the security operation, he would have no money.

What a good excuse. Convincing Anton and the others to naturalize was a waste of countless words from Rock. Rock can imagine how troublesome it would be to convince Anton and the others to cut off their braids. At least the British have given up doing so. In fact, the Chinese There are also turbans similar to Indian Sikhs. Many Chinese also put their braids in their hats when they wear cowboy hats, which proves that Chinese people don't like braids on their heads.

But it’s one thing not to like it, but it’s another thing to cut off the braids. Cutting off the braids means completely severing ties with the Qing Dynasty, which is a serious crime in the Qing Dynasty.

Facts have proved that the charm of money is infinite. In other words, after being naturalized in Cape Town, Anton and the others were already mentally prepared to completely sever ties with the Qing Dynasty. That night, many Chinese policemen cut off their braids, and even barber shops They didn’t even go, and the brothers helped each other cut off the braids with scissors. Anyway, no one cares whether the hairstyle looks good after cutting off the braids.

Really convenient.

A week later, all the commandos received a uniform custom-made dress, which was a simplified version of the standard dress custom-made by Rock, with a tuxedo, vest, trousers, and leather shoes, but no walking stick and pocket watch. Not a problem, putting a pocket square in the breast pocket can also play a decorative role.

"The dinner party will be held on Christmas Eve. Now let's get to know some important people—" In addition to etiquette training, the commandos also need to know some important people who attend the banquet. They are the main protection objects of the commandos, and Henry is in charge of this work .

"First of all, our great governor, His Excellency Alfred Milner, I believe you are not unfamiliar with him—" The Cape Town Police Department is quite advanced, Henry said, and put a piece of Alfred Milner Milner's photo hangs on the wall next to him, and he still has many photos in his hand.

"Then the new Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Field Marshal Sir Frederick Roberts, and the new Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force, General Horatio Herbert Kitchener - and finally, our Prime Minister William Philip Mr. Schreiner, like you, I don't know why Mr. Schreiner is in Cape Town, I thought he would go to the Transvaal to negotiate with Mr. Paul Kruger." Henry said to Prime Minister Shreiner Milner didn't seem to respect it, which is not surprising. Schreiner advocated negotiations with the Boers, and Governor Alfred Milner took a tough attitude. If nothing else, Schreiner would not stay in the position of prime minister for long.

After Henry finished his introduction, dozens of photos had been densely hung on the wall, including the photo of police chief August Russell. These dozens of people on the wall formed the so-called "upper class" in Cape Town. society".

It appears that this was a welcome dinner for Sir Frederick Roberts and General Horatio H. Kitchener, the defeat at Ladysmith leading to the Taking the blame and resigning, Sir Frederick Roberts became Admiral Buller's successor.

This is good news for the Cape Colony. Sir Frederick Roberts is an experienced colonial general who has served as the commander-in-chief of the Indian Army for a long time. He will become the savior of the Cape Colony.

But this is not necessarily good news for Rock. Although Sir Frederick Roberts is a standard British, but he was born in India, he may have a better impression of Indians.

Of course not necessarily, the wonderful thing about Indians is that people who don't know them have certain expectations of them.

And the more you know them, the more you hate them.

"Remember these faces, each of them has a background, if you accidentally offend someone who shouldn't be offended, Mr. Director will not speak for you." Henry is right, these people on the wall, Rock and the others Can't afford to offend.

"Lock, I saw that they all look similar." Rock could barely recognize them, but Anton was completely dumbfounded. Not only white people have face blindness to Chinese, but many Chinese also have the same effect on white people. few.

"That's right, they all have red eyebrows and green eyes, and foreign devils all look the same." Luo Yi hasn't recovered from his injury, but he has already started to work, because he doesn't get paid if he doesn't work, he is really a tenacious young man.

Being whipped was also good for Luo Yi. Luo Yi successfully made everyone in the police station remember him with his crazy performance. Maybe many people still don’t like Luo Yi, but when it comes to Luo Yi, even those who don’t like Luo Yi The person who is a good man should also say a good man.

"Don't talk nonsense, remember them as much as you can, and don't cause trouble when the time comes." Rock has no other thoughts. For Rock, remembering these people is very important, not just for the security service on Christmas Eve.

Unlike Anton and the others, Rock's goal of living is not just to live, but to live better.

Roque is not British. He does not have a deep background in Cape Town, nor does he have a large ethnic group to provide assistance. If he wants to get ahead, he cannot do without the support of big shots. These people on the wall can largely determine Roque's fate , Roque must ensure that when they need him, he can leave a deep enough impression on them.
