Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 464 Practice Trumpet

Rock has already forgotten, when he first arrived at Sandhurst, when he had a conflict with the shopkeeper, those young men in the uniform of military cadets were in the crowd.

Unfortunately, Jackson Foster was one of them.

It should be said that there was nothing wrong with Roque's handling that day, but in the eyes of the onlookers, Roque was a bit bullying. The scene where the shop owner slumped in front of the door and bid farewell to his wife and daughter left many people present at that time in awe. deep impression.

Fortunately, General Victor Foster's tutor was not bad, and Jackson Foster didn't show it too obviously. After greeting Rock politely, Jackson Foster sat down at the table and said No hair, silently eating his own things.

Mrs. Foster still cared more about Jackson Foster, and had a casual chat with Jackson Foster. Victor Foster didn't notice Jackson Foster's abnormality, so he continued to discuss with Rock. Better use Africans.

"My lord, are the Africans in Nyasaland not doing well?" Jackson Foster interrupted suddenly.

This question is not very friendly, but Rock is still able to calm down, so that he won't be as knowledgeable as a child because of this: "No, there are no Africans in Nyasaland. After I took over Nyasaland, all Africans All moved to Rhodesia as part of my agreement with Mr Cecil Rhodes Jr."

Stoudemire was the best blame man at this time, and Rock simply pushed all the responsibilities to Stoudemire. Anyway, Jackson Foster and his father couldn't ask Stoudemire to prove it.

"Mr. Cecil Rhodes is a very capable person. Compared with his father, Cecil Rhodes Jr. is far behind. I heard that someone in Congress proposed to cancel the South African company and take Rhodesia directly into the government. Direct management, those people must be crazy, the government even wants to give up southern Africa, it is impossible to do that.” Victor Foster knew Cecil Rhodes, and Cecil Rhodes’s The reviews are not bad.

Regardless of what other people say about Cecil Rhodes, for most British people, Cecil Rhodes is indeed a hero. For example, at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, there are many Cecil Rhodes Rhodes fans.

"Stoudemire is still very capable, but his father's aura is too dazzling, so Stoudemire looks dim." Rock wants to speak for Stoudemire, it is not a good thing to have a father who is too strong.

"If there are no Africans in Nyasaland, then how can you rule Nyasaland, my lord." Jackson Foster still cared about Nyasaland.

"Relying on my people, there are many people in Nyasaland. They are hardworking, brave, and fearless. The future of Nyasaland will definitely get better and better." Rock is absolutely confident about this.

"Are you from the Qing Dynasty? It is indeed a huge country. I have worked in the Far East for a while, but not in the Qing Dynasty, but in India. I have to say that India does not give me a good impression. There are too many people in London now. Indians are lazy, they are lazy and greedy, they don’t work hard, and they are often inferior to Africans.” Victor Foster doesn’t understand Chinese, and he doesn’t think highly of Indians.

The British government has less than 2000 people in India, but these 2000 people rule nearly 2 million people, so Indians don't talk about other aspects, the spirit of resistance is really lacking.

"I have also come into contact with some Indians. They are indeed not good enough, but they are still qualified as a labor force." Rock thought of Gandhi, the only historical figure who disappointed Rock.

"You may have forgotten me, my lord. We met a few days ago." Jackson Foster finally couldn't help attacking, but the young man still couldn't hold his breath.

"Really? When?" Rock didn't pretend to be stupid, he really didn't remember.

"Matcha shop—" Jackson Foster suggested.

"Oh——" Rock finally remembered, and his face was still a little ugly. The scene at the matcha shop did not leave a good impression on Rock.

"What happened to the shopkeeper?" Jackson Foster demanded.

"I don't know very well. The sheriff told me about it later. It seemed that he was detained and fined. I didn't pay much attention to it." Rock really didn't know.

"What's going on?" Victor Foster didn't know about it yet.

Rock briefly described, and the expressions of Victor Foster and Mrs. Foster were a bit complicated.

In fact, the owner is to blame, but Victor Foster and Mrs. Foster are very difficult to judge, after all, the owner Danny is also from Sandhurst.

"Poor Danny—" Mrs. Foster said casually, without accusing Rock.

Jackson Foster seemed to be encouraged, and his words immediately became sharp: "Lord, don't you think this is too cruel for Danny's family? Danny's matcha shop has not opened these days, I think I went to Danny's daughter to deliver meals to Danny, and I heard that Mrs. Danny has fallen ill, and the family has been devastated."

Rock really didn't know these things, but even if Rock knew now, Rock wouldn't pity Danny, it was his own fault.

That's why Roque's attitude is equally firm: "No matter who Danny is, he should pay the price for his mistakes. If you were there, you should know that he was the one who made bad words first, and he didn't have the slightest intention of repentance. He needs to reflect in his cell and wishes his wife a speedy recovery."

Rock finally acted like a ruthless nobleman. Victor Foster and Mrs. Foster looked at Rock with a bit of astonishment and relief, anyway, it was very complicated.

Jackson Foster looked at Rock with undisguised hatred, mixed with disgust.

"I don't know what you think, but the actual situation is that if it were another nobleman, Mr. Danny might spend the rest of his life in prison. You may think that this kind of thing doesn't matter because it didn't happen to you , If so, I believe that your anger is no less than ours. When we evaluate a matter, don't we base it on fairness and justice?" Phyllis, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interrupted.

This passage is absolutely deafening, thinking that the weak Phyllis will stand up bravely when Rock is attacked.

Only then did Victor Foster's family realize that Rock was a genuine nobleman.

Therefore, if Danny dared to insult Rock, he would undoubtedly seek his own death.

Therefore, although the experience of Danny's wife and daughter is sympathetic, it is not enough to be the basis for letting Danny go.

"Yes, I'm sorry my lord, I was too narrow just now." Victor Foster was already mature, and immediately realized his mistake.

"But shouldn't nobles be magnanimous?" Jackson Foster still insisted.

"No, magnanimity is a virtue, but it should never be an excuse to shirk responsibility. Locke's becoming the Baron of Nyasaland is the empire's reward for Locke's hard work. Mr. Jackson, you are also a soldier. After the nobleman, he was wantonly insulted under the pretext of magnanimity. I don’t know what efforts that Mr. Danny has put in for the empire. Can he insult a military nobleman just because he provides afternoon tea for the residents of Sandhurst? ?” Phyllis was also unreasonable, and what she said made Jackson Foster flush.

"Okay, don't be disturbed by these things, it's just a small character that no one pays attention to." Rock wanted to hug Phyllis and kiss her fiercely, but at this time he behaved calmly.

After bidding farewell to Victor Foster and returning to the closed carriage, Rock finally had the opportunity to thank Phyllis for protecting him just now.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do as a wife." Phyllis had such a proud expression on her face. Roque had always protected Phyllis, and now Phyllis finally felt that she could do something for Roque.

"No, I really should thank you, not only for your righteous words just now, but also for you to marry me. I am very happy to know you. You are really an angel given to me by God." It will also be nasty.

Phyllis was so elated by Roque's coaxing, her big wet eyes looked at Roque without blinking for a moment, full of emotions almost overflowing.

Hmm, it's time to think about practicing the trumpet.

On July [-]st, the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy officially opened, and there were more than a dozen other officers from the colonies who enrolled with Roque. Roque's military rank was the highest among all the students, so Roque didn't even need to Learn in class, this gold-plated is really easy.

The management of the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy is still very strict. After Rock became a student of the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, he had to wear the uniform of an officer cadet just like other students. The style of the uniform was very simple. The elbows of the shirt are also thickened, which seems to be prepared for crawling and rolling.

The first five weeks of new cadets' training is exactly the same as that of the recruit company. The schedule is very slow. Every day from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, there is almost no rest time except for a short meal time.

The purpose of these five weeks is to enable new students to complete the transformation from ordinary people to soldiers. Most of the college’s courses are about life, such as haircuts, shoe shines, changing clothes, cleaning rooms, etc. During the period, they have to undergo constant inspections, The purpose of the lectures is to let the students develop the habit of strictly demanding themselves.

Rock is already a general, so naturally he doesn't need to accept the five weeks of training, so Rock can justifiably be lazy after attending the opening ceremony. No one wants to use strict discipline to demand a noble who has become a general. For Roque, whether it was a haircut or shoe-shine and cleaning the room, there were dedicated servants to do it for him, so Roque didn't need to waste precious time studying.

For Rock, if he has time to learn how to make quilts, he might as well practice the trumpet at home with Phyllis.
