Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 40 Trouble

Surveillance continued for three days, and Anton and Li Decai saw all four suspects.

Rock only participated in the first day. On the second day, Rock and Henry will go to the Governor's Mansion to inspect the environment and formulate a security plan.

In fact, it’s not the Governor’s Mansion. Alfred Milner didn’t even live in the Governor’s Mansion. Instead, he lived in a castle-style manor on the outskirts of Cape Town. The banquet was held in the manor, and Rock and the others couldn’t even enter the manor. , the security in the manor is in charge of Alfred Milner's servants, and Rock and the others are only responsible for the peripheral security.

Because he was going to the outskirts of the city, Rock finally had the opportunity to show Henry his riding skills, which surprised Henry.

"In the Huayong camp, we used to go hunting on weekends, and sometimes played polo in the barracks. I am a polo master." Rock boasted to Henry triumphantly.

In fact, it's not bragging, because Rock is indeed a polo master. What Rock wants is to be able to brag with Henry anytime, anywhere. This is something that only friends can do.

"How dare you say that you are a polo master in front of me? You probably don't know how good I am at polo." Henry would not admit that Rock is a master of polo, although Rock's riding skills are really good .

Hunting and polo are the favorites of the British nobles. Although Henry is only a small sheriff, he also has noble blood, but in Henry's generation, the blood has been very weak, so Henry has to come to the Cape Colony to make a living. .

Speaking of European aristocratic blood, it is definitely a confused book. The famous Belgian prince Amedeo claims to have the blood of eleven countries. I am afraid that even he himself does not know how his blood is mixed. result of intermarriage.

"Not now, let's try it another day. I really want to see how good your polo skills are." Rock will not admit defeat, try it, who is afraid of others?

"Let's talk about it first. Whoever loses will be treated. Go to Table Mountain Bar." Henry still has a bet. Table Mountain Bar may not be the best bar in Cape Town, but it must be the most expensive bar in Cape Town. It is said that the former The lover of the brother-in-law of Colonial Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes opened it. This relationship is complicated, but it is normal. It has something to do with being able to do big business. Even Rock set up a scam on the pier to cheat money. Several police officers appeared at any time.

"That's it!" Rock challenged. It's normal for friends to drink together after playing golf. The wine in the table mountain bar is a bit expensive, but it's worth the money.

I have to say that the scenery in Cape Town is still very good. It seems that in Rock's impression, Africa is a desolate and barren land. In fact, it is not like this at all. The desolate is North Africa, and Central Africa and South Africa are very rich. Even North Africa has innumerable oil deposits buried underground, and the Cape Colony is even richer in mineral deposits. The richness of gold mines and diamond mines is unmatched in the world.

Even if you don’t talk about minerals, Cape is a pleasant place. Along the way, there are endless vineyards and dense forests on the roadside, and lush green hills in the distance. You can occasionally see Boers in the vineyards. Most of the Cape Dutch-style buildings have white walls and graceful curves. People can't help but imagine what it's like to live in such a pleasant environment after seeing them.

The only thing that makes Roque feel bad is that the road condition is really bad. In the urban area of ​​Cape Town, it is better. Many road surfaces have been hardened. If you leave the urban area, the road condition is extremely bad, and the ground is full of bumps. There are uneven ruts and horseshoe prints. Fortunately, there has been little rain in Cape Town recently. If it catches up with the rainy winter, it is hard to imagine how muddy the road will be.

Rock thinks this way because Rock is used to how convenient the transportation in the 21st century is. Even the village roads in the Republic known as the "Infrastructure Maniac" are paved with cement. Compared with this era, the traffic conditions are really very different. .

Henry didn't sigh so much, probably because he saw too much of the original ecological environment, Henry didn't even look at the scenery around him, and was still thinking about how to save face.

"Lock, how's your hunting skills?" Henry had a shotgun hanging beside his saddle. It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, and he would enjoy it if he had the opportunity.

Rock also brought a long gun, but instead of a shotgun, Rock brought a Lee Enfield issued.

"It must be better than you!" Rock is confident in himself. No matter how busy he is at work, Rock will find time to go to the training ground and shoot dozens of bullets, so Rock's marksmanship has always been very good.

Henry is not so diligent. He has been in contact with Henry for so long, and Rock has never seen Henry go to the training ground. Most of the time, Henry sleeps in the office.

It's really sleeping, Rock feels, Henry's biological clock is reversed, he sleeps at work, and goes out after get off work, thanks to the all-night bars in Cape Town, which are more unrestrained than those in the UK. The bars in the UK usually open at night It is not allowed to sell alcohol after eleven o’clock. Before the law was amended in 2005, it was even illegal to sell alcohol after eleven o’clock in the evening. Being able to stay open and sell alcohol until 1am has even been called a "perk".

"F***, it looks like I'm going to teach someone a lesson." Henry almost blurted out, this is a good sign, being able to swear casually proves that Henry has begun to regard Rock as a friend, at least as a person who can be with him People who talk to themselves as equals.

It is really important to be able to talk on an equal footing. The Indians claim to be the "first loyal dog" of the British, but the British have never pretended to the Indians. There are even some British officials in the police station who are not at all with India people talk.

Of course, it is not only Indians who are discriminated against. Those British who do not speak to Indians also do not deal with Chinese police officers. They are even unwilling to communicate with Boer police officers, even if those Boer police officers are also white.

"Come here, I'll give you the gun. You can shoot." Rock didn't take advantage of Henry. The shotgun was inferior to the small-caliber rifle in terms of range and accuracy.

"You don't need it, I have a gun!" Henry pulled out the shotgun arrogantly, and shot it casually with the muzzle facing the sky.

boom!

Not to mention the accuracy and range, the sound is indeed not small, and countless wild birds on the roadside are startled.

Henry's shot was a bit sudden, and Rock had no time to stop it. Just after the gunshot, Rock really found someone looking at him from the manor not far away.

It's hot, there's trouble, the governor lives in the manor, it doesn't matter if you shoot casually to scare the wild birds on the roadside, it will be troublesome if you scare the governor.
