Chapter 459

Sandhurst people are no strangers to soldiers. After all, Sandhurst Royal Military Academy has hundreds of students all year round.

However, soldiers are different from soldiers. Sandhurst Royal Military Academy trains junior officers, such as Winster and Henry. The Royal Military Academy is the best choice.

Those military students who have just stepped out of middle school are definitely different from the soldiers around Rock who have been on the battlefield.

Roque must be surrounded by elite soldiers of comparable special forces. The leader, Dunn, even participated in the Boer War. This is also beside Roque. He is the only old brother who is still a sheriff. The rest of the brothers either retired and went to the umbrella. And Brad, either joined the army, at least as a mid-level officer.

Rock's guards were selected from the new First Cavalry Division. Almost all of the more than 40 people participated in the conflict with the Congo Free State and the counter-insurgency in Natal. They have rich combat experience and strong personal strength , It is not comparable to those fledgling military officers.

So the matcha shop owner immediately felt strong pressure.

But it's too late for him to apologize now, Roque will not take the initiative to bully others, but if he comes to find fault without opening his eyes, Roque will not be polite, so Roque raised his hand and called Bella over, ready to let Phyllis and Bella went home first.

What follows is not suitable for children.

"Restraint, sir, I'm the Sheriff of Sandhurst—" a visitor in the corridor tried to interfere.

"Shut up, I'm Lord Nyasaland's captain of guards, Dunn, you are the police chief, very well, why did you go just now? I saw that you were smiling happily just now—" Dunn didn't want to listen to the police at all. Long name, if you want to intervene, you'd better weigh your own weight.

The sheriff immediately shut up, the lord is different from the lord, the title of duke can be called a "lord", some lords can't even rent a carriage, and the lord with the captain of the guard is beyond the control of the sheriff .

Even the sheriff stayed away, and the other guests were very sensible, and they dispersed almost in the blink of an eye.

The British are quite polite. When these guests left, they finally didn't forget to put the meal fee on the table, and carefully pressed it with a cup.

The sheriff didn't dare to leave. If something happened to Rock here, the sheriff would be responsible.

"Sheriff, arrest this gentleman. He insulted an imperial nobleman, and he should reflect in prison." Rock didn't talk nonsense, those guests actually didn't go far, and they were still watching from a distance, and Rock didn't want to make matters worse If you make a big fuss, just lock it up for a few days as a punishment.

The poor shop owner has lost all arrogance now, sitting on the steps of the corridor trembling with sweat profusely, a girl in a maid outfit inside the shop is supporting a crumbling old woman, covering her mouth with tears in her eyes, unbelievable watching it all.

"Sorry Danny, you messed with the wrong person—" The sheriff came over and pulled the owner from the ground to take him away.

"I'm fine, I'll be back." Before the shopkeeper was taken away, he didn't forget to turn around and explain to his wife and children.

Rock felt a little bored, obviously he was the victim, why did he act like he was bullying others.

Looking back at the guys watching the excitement, they didn't seem to think it was the owner's fault, they all looked at Roque with hatred, and there were even a few students wearing military cadet uniforms crowded inside.

Rock suddenly felt restless, turned around and got into the carriage to go back to the manor, suddenly he had no expectations for the upcoming military school life.

The British mainland may not be very friendly to Rock.

When she got home, Phyllis felt very sorry, thinking that it was her own fault that caused Rock to be humiliated.

"Don't be sorry, Phyllis, this has nothing to do with you." Roque would not anger Phyllis, that hateful shopkeeper is actually the epitome of tens of millions of British people. Although Roque is now the Baron of the Empire, ordinary British people would not No matter what contribution Roque has made to the British Empire, even if they don't discriminate against Roque face to face, they will definitely try their best to slander him behind the scenes.

"That person is really hateful, we must lock him up for a few more days." This was already the worst punishment Phyllis could think of.

Rock doesn't care about this matter, no matter what the result is, the Sandhurst Police Department will definitely give Rock an explanation, otherwise Rock will definitely not give up.

As a result, Sheriff Sandhurst came to visit Rock in the evening.

"I'm sorry, my lord. This kind of thing happened. No one wants to see it. Danny is not a bad person. He did something wrong because of a moment of confusion. The police station decided to lock him up for a week and fine him ten pounds. This is the result, my lord. Is it acceptable?" The sheriff is wearing a police uniform this time, which is similar to the police uniform in Johannesburg.

This result is acceptable to Rock. Although the owner made a mistake, he is not guilty of death. Now this level of punishment is enough.

As for the sentence "Danny is not a bad guy" said by the sheriff, Rock kept this sentence in his heart. The pen returned slowly.

"Okay, it's enough to let him realize his mistakes." Rock is not magnanimous. This is the case in Britain in this era. Not to mention Indians and Japanese, even Germans and Americans are unpopular.

Racial discrimination has attracted a lot of attention in the 21st century. No matter who you are, you will avoid racial discrimination like a snake.

It’s different now. In this period of time, clan discrimination is politically correct, and non-discrimination is abnormal. They are all white. Germans and Americans will be discriminated against in the UK and France, and restaurants in France are also not entertained. Americans think that Americans are rude and uneducated nouveau riche, which will affect the mood of other guests in the restaurant.

Not to mention the Germans. These days, German products are synonymous with shoddy manufacturing. The British government even warns its citizens to be careful with low-quality German products. This may cause diplomatic troubles in the 21st century, but in the [-]th century At first, even the German government thought its products were shameful.

Americans also did not fight against the discrimination they received in Europe, but only doubled this discrimination to Africans in the United States.

Rock is a Chinese, even if he is an aristocrat, he certainly can't change the current situation, so Rock still keeps a low profile and records all the accounts in a small book.

The Americans also waited until after the two world wars to turn around completely, and Roark was even less anxious. In another ten years, let's see if the British can maintain this arrogance.

Winston was still very efficient in doing things. On the third morning, Winston sent someone to send a message to Rock that he had found a suitable house.

Rock was a little depressed. If it was in Johannesburg or Nyasaland, it was a matter of making a phone call, but in the UK mainland, it would need to send someone to go there. Obviously there is a phone in the manor, but Winston seems to be still alive In the last century, Roque didn't know how to evaluate it.

Compared with Johannesburg, there are finally some things in the UK that can be sold. At least the four-wheeled carriage is more stable than the two-wheeled carriage in Johannesburg.

However, the two-wheeled carriage in Johannesburg only needs one horse to pull it, but the four-wheeled carriage needs two horses, and the efficiency between the two is the same, which makes Rock speechless.

The British Empire is indeed rich and doesn't care about this waste of resources.

The house that Winston found for Rock is on the King’s Road in Chelsea, which is a rich area in London. People who can live here are either rich or expensive. The middle class can’t afford to rent a house here. Winston The house Dunn found was a three-storey building with more than 30 rooms. The house had all the facilities and was quite luxuriously decorated.

This price shocked Phyllis: "God, forty thousand pounds, you can buy a [-]-acre farm in Johannesburg!"

This is the previous price, and it is definitely not available now.

However, Rock also felt a little pain in the flesh. This price was a bit beyond Rock's budget. Rock originally thought that a price of [-] to [-] would be enough.

"Don't think it's expensive. The annual rent for such a house is more than [-] pounds. The current housing prices in London are really crazy. I can only say that there are too many rich people. It makes a family like me want to buy You can’t afford a house like this.” Winston also complained that house prices in hotspots were not cheap anytime soon.

The speaker has no intention of the listener, and Rock is also not stingy with Winston: "Is there any house like this, I will buy another one for you."

Rock is very generous, the current investment in Winston will be returned ten times and a hundred times in the future.

"Give it to me? Forget it. I live in a house like this, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." Winston seemed quite emotional, but he still refused rationally.

Winston came from the Marlborough family, and his family could not afford such a house. I am afraid that if Winston accepted this house, it would immediately raise doubts.

Don't underestimate the strife between political parties. Sometimes a small mistake can lead to huge consequences, not to mention such a real estate worth tens of thousands, which is usually inherited by nobles who have been passed down for hundreds of years. point.

Rock laughed out loud, feeling that Winston was really suffocated in London. Rock couldn't bear such an environment for a day. The Duke's grandson was afraid, and Rock, the baron, should keep a low profile.

But Ade doesn’t need to keep a low profile. After Ade leaves office, he must be at home for a long time. Even if he lives in such a “luxury house”, he doesn’t have to worry about being attacked. This is called “being light without an official”.

Forty thousand pounds is not a small amount. No one would carry such a huge sum of money with them. If they want to make a settlement, they can only go to the bank.

Rock, of course, went to Rand Bank. London's Rand Bank is located in the City of London. When he walked into the gate of Rand Bank, the woman leaning against the counter and smiling at Rock was actually Ada.

Rock looked back at Phyllis, and suddenly felt that his heart was not very good.
