Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 47 Ada

In a blink of an eye, it was December 12th. After lunch, Rock and Henry led all the commandos out of the city to Darmstadt Manor.

Darmstadt is a city in central Germany, originally part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, where Governor Alfred Milner was born.

"Are you all ready?" On the way to the Darmstadt Manor, Henry finally became a little nervous.

From the perspective of the Cape Colonial Government, Roque and Henry's behavior can be called treasonous. If this matter is leaked out, Roque and Henry will probably be thrown into Robben Island as the accomplices of the rebels. This is still light , seriously, Rock and Henry would even be shot.

"Don't worry, the bait has been sent out." Rock was not nervous. The entire operation was directed by Rock himself. Now as long as the few rebels who tried to sneak into the banquet hall and cause chaos were killed on the spot, there would be no other troubles. .

Today’s luck is not as good as last time. It rained a little in Cape Town yesterday, and the ground was a little muddy, but the degree was not serious. Rock and Henry still rode horses, and the other commandos took carriages. As long as they entered Darmstadt The condition of the roads in the special manor area is still good, and the road surfaces have all been hardened, the same as in the center of Cape Town.

Entering Darmstadt Manor, the intersection has already begun to have police on duty. They blocked off the area around Darmstadt Manor two days ago and guaranteed 24-hour uninterrupted patrolling. Not to mention people, even rabbits can’t get in Come in.

The police cannot appear in front of the distinguished guests. From now on, the commando will take over the outer defense of the Darmstadt estate.

According to the pre-established plan, the four uniformed commandos and the police officers on duty were handed over to be responsible for the safety of the intersection.

In fact, it's not to this extent. Safety is no problem. The main thing is to maintain order and guide the carriages of the distinguished guests. Unless it is those people with evil intentions, no one dares to make trouble tonight.

Rock and Henry's posts are at the gate of the manor. In fact, they should separate someone to stay at the intersection, but tonight's special situation, Rock has to stay at the door to ensure that Henry can complete the task, forget about the intersection, there will be no problem there .

"Thanks for your hard work, buddy, your suit is really good." It was the bearded knight who came to say hello, and brought some cigars for Rock and Henry, forget about the wine, no one dared to drink tonight.

"Of course, it's very expensive. It costs twenty pounds for a set." Henry has experience in dealing with such people skillfully, and the proud little expression on his face makes people laugh.

"Then you have made a lot of money." The bearded knight is also a wonderful person, with a pun.

For some well-known reason, official purchases are always more expensive, and maybe the quality is even worse.

The clothes custom-made collectively by the commandos should be cheaper than custom-made individually, but the price is higher, and everyone is still accustomed to it.

"Hehe, I don't know about that, who knows." Henry didn't answer, and everyone shouldn't laugh at anyone. Working next to the governor, the bearded knight has more opportunities to make money.

"I'm counting on you here tonight. Let's have a drink together some other day." The bearded knight didn't intend to set up a dragon gate, and returned to the manor after saying hello. It's good to work with the governor, and there are sofas in the guard lounge.

Of course, the bearded knight did not forget Rock and Henry. After a while, the bearded knight sent two chairs, a round table, and a pot of black tea. This was for Rock and Henry, and the others would forget it. .

As night fell, guests began to come in a stream. Only then did Rock notice that there were street lights on both sides of the road, but these street lights were not electric lights, but oil lamps, covered with glass covers. When it was time to light up the street lights, The servants in the manor would carry the ladders and light them one by one.

Watching the street lights gradually being lit, Henry sighed, but Roque was powerless to complain.

"It's so beautiful, this is the meaning of civilization." Henry said proudly.

Rock curled his lips and didn't answer. Henry thought that Rock was stunned, but turned around and found that the expression on Rock's face was obviously disapproving.

"Aren't you surprised? So beautiful." Henry thought that Rock should show an expression that met Henry's expectations.

"Is there anything surprising? The white glass lampshades are just industrial products. In my hometown, every household will hang red lanterns during festivals. We will also set off fireworks, visit relatives and friends, and have a carnival all night long. "Rock couldn't go on talking, he wasn't talking about my Qing Dynasty, but the Celestial Dynasty in the 21st century.

In this era, this is the first time that Rock has been in love with the scene.

"Ha, they're all industrial products—" Henry thought Roque was being stubborn, and imitated Roque's tone, his words were full of contempt: "Is there any industry in your hometown? Those red lanterns are all handmade Yes, industry is the symbol of social progress, and handwork will be eliminated sooner or later.”

What can Rock say? Henry won't understand. Industrial products are indeed popular now, but in a few decades, when people get tired of using industrial products, the value of handicrafts will be far greater than industrial products .

In fact, it is not true. Even in this era, handmade things are usually more valuable than industrially produced things. For example, custom-made clothes in British tailors are more expensive than cheap clothes sold in Jewish shops. industry difference.

Just as Rock was about to refute, he suddenly saw Police Chief August Russell's carriage from a distance. His carriage was really conspicuous, with a big police badge on the body.

At the same time, Rock also saw Li De, who was on duty at the intersection. He was not far from August Russell's carriage, and he was repeatedly gesturing to Rock.

According to the agreement between Rock and Li De, it was Li De who discovered the carriage of the rebels.

Hot, how did you get together?

But this is also a good thing. Only when they get together can they leave the deepest impression on August Russell.

"Henry, how's the situation here?" When passing by Rock and Henry, August Russell opened the car door and stood on the shaft of the car, ringing like a bell, like a general inspecting troops.

"Mr. Director, I didn't find any problems." Henry straightened his back, like a guard of honor undergoing a review.

"Good job, lads." August Russell waved to the commandos lined up, ready to return to the car.

By the way, August Russell traveled in a four-wheeled carriage.

Rock and Henry stood at attention and saluted, watching August Russell's carriage pass by slowly. Just after August Russell's carriage passed by, Rock seemed to see a scene in the window of the rear carriage. Zhang Yixi's pretty face.

It's Ada.
