Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 481 Unprofessional

Although there were clashes between the Royal Canadian Regiment and the Johannesburg Police during the Boer War, the relationship between Rock and Max Lloyd was good.

Marcus Lloyd came to India earlier than Rock, and his troops were stationed in Calcutta.

Marcos Lloyd was still very pleasantly surprised to reunite with Roque in India unexpectedly. During the Boer War, Marcos Lloyd was already a colonel. Captain, not even an inspector, now Rock and Marcus Lloyd have the same military rank as major general, so Marcos Lloyd is very emotional.

"Unexpectedly, you are now Lord Nyasaland. It seems that I made a mistake in Canada, and I should also stay in southern Africa." Marcos Lloyd is very envious of Roque. His current title is only Sir , Just like the previous knights, Roque has been promoted to the ranks of nobles.

"I think so too. If you were in southern Africa, you might be an earl by now." Rock joked casually, an earl is impossible, and Ade's great contribution is only a viscount.

The banquet was held at the official residence of Earl Minto. Apart from British officials and soldiers, there were also local kings from India who attended the banquet. These kings have great rights and are like kings in their own state. Knowing this situation, but it seems that there is no intention to limit the rights of the earth king.

There is no way to limit it. India has a population of 5000 million. The British colonized India with the help of the influence of the earth king, so not only did not limit the power of the earth king, but also won over the earth king.

The local kings still wear clothes full of Indian characteristics. The big turban is the most obvious symbol. British officials wear evening dresses. Rock and Marcus Lloyd are both military uniforms, but because of the different colonies they belong to, the dresses There are some differences in the emblems of Marcus Lloyd's dress, with maple leaves embroidered on it, and Rock's dress with the bignilla tree representing the Transvaal.

Marcos Lloyd couldn't help laughing out loud after knowing that Rock's residence was in Dhaka. Dhaka is the capital of East Bengal and Assam, and it is also the center of this riot. Rock has a heavy responsibility.

"—But don't worry, I guess you will have to wait a while before going to Dhaka. Just look at me and you will know that I have been in India for more than half a month, and I am still in Calcutta." Marcos Lloyd read Earl Minto, who was talking and laughing with Lord Ian Hamilton, sarcastically said that this efficiency is indeed a bit low.

After arriving in India, Roque knew that India had just experienced a turmoil. During his tenure, the former Governor George Curzon had conflicts with Horatio Herbert Kitchener, the commander of the British Army in India. To reconcile, both were transferred from India three months ago.

This Kitchener was the chief of staff of the Expeditionary Force during the Boer War. After the then commander-in-chief Lord Roberts returned to the British mainland to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, Kitchener became the commander of the Expeditionary Force. After the war, Kitchener began to serve in India. Commander of the British Army.

Interestingly, after Kitchener was transferred from India, Lord Ian Hamilton succeeded Kitchener as the commander of the British Army in India. He was Kitchener's chief of staff when Kitchener was the commander of the expeditionary force.

"It's not bad. At least it seems that Lord Minto and Lord Ian Hamilton don't seem to have any conflicts." Rock was a little relieved. A large part of the current chaotic situation in India is due to the discord between the former Governor General and the former Commander-in-Chief. As a result, if Kitchener actively cooperated with George Curzon's partition of Bengal, it is estimated that India would not be as chaotic as it is now.

"Lord Nyasaland, please allow me to introduce—" Lord Belloc came over with several big turbans.

The big turbans are all the kings of East Bengal and Assam. Rock originally thought that there was only one king in each state. After arriving in India, Rock realized that there are 550 kings in all of India. , This number really shocked Rock a little.

These 550 states belong to more than 100 different ethnic groups and use 1652 languages, of which 33 are used by more than one million people. After India's independence, the constitution stipulated that 18 languages ​​​​become the official languages ​​​​of the Indian Federation. It is estimated to be unique in the world.

After Lord Belloc's introduction, the leading turban went up and held Marcus Lloyd's hand: "Lord Nyasaran, it's a pleasure to meet you, welcome to Calcutta—"

Lord Belloc pinched his forehead a little speechlessly, Rock had black lines on his face, and Marcus Lloyd was going crazy: "Sorry, I am not Lord Nyasaran, but this one next to me is, speaking of Mr. Lakshmi, You've already welcomed me, there's no need to do it again."

It seems that this Mr. Lakshmi knew Marcos Lloyd before, so Marcos Lloyd was able to hand over Lakshmi's name in one go.

This is very interesting, this is how insincere it is to directly admit that everyone is wrong——

No, it's not as simple as admitting your mistake, but you don't have any memory at all, not even as good as a fish, whose memory is still seven seconds away.

Although there was a big oolong, it seemed that Lakshmi was not embarrassed. He was surprised when he saw Rock, as if he had just seen Rock.

"Don't be surprised. I'm Chinese. Nice to meet you, Mr. Lakshmi." Rock made a bad move when shaking hands, using a lot of energy.

In the end, Lakshmi screamed out!

This was the governor's official residence, and all the dignitaries present were present. Lakshmi's scream immediately attracted the attention of others.

Rock is simply too embarrassing, are all Indians so bold and unrestrained, shouldn't they bear it silently at this time——

It can only be said that although Rock has done a lot of homework, Rock still doesn't understand Indians.

So Rock's actions were much gentler next.

After shaking hands with several big headscarves, Roque looked at Lord Belloc with a helpless gaze, and was deeply worried about the next work.

Lord Belloc's complexion was also ugly. Recognition of people is a basic ability for adults to socialize. At least Mr. Lakshmi's performance on this issue is not up to standard.

Moreover, Rock keenly noticed that the eyes of several big headscarves looking at Rock were a bit complicated. They seemed unwilling to believe that a Chinese would become a British nobleman, and he was still leading the army and stationed in their state.

This is not surprising, although the higher the status, the more mature a person is, but that is on the premise of being in a high position by virtue of one's own ability. These local kings in India are in high positions by virtue of their blood, and some people may not be There are very few people who will leave India and study in the UK on their own initiative like Gandhi, so no matter how weird things these earth kings do, Rock will not be surprised.

Fortunately, after the earth kings got acquainted with Rock, they put more enthusiasm into the food provided at the dinner, and Marcus Lloyd spoke at this time: "Locke, it seems that these earth kings don't welcome you very much."

The name was a little misleading, and Lord Belloc thought Marcus Lloyd was talking to him.

Fortunately, Roque answered the call in a timely manner: "It's okay, we don't need to be welcomed by others, we just need to make others feel fear."

This is so domineering, both Marcus Lloyd and Lord Belloc applauded.

Rock bowed slightly in a graceful manner to express his gratitude.

"Many of these earth kings are illiterate. They are born with no worries about food and clothing, and they can occupy high positions without struggling. So please forgive their rudeness. In India, this is a fact we must accept." Lord Belloc It's also very helpless, the Indians at the bottom can actually be educated, the earth kings at the top don't matter, they are worse than a dou.

In the colonies, the most common way of education for the British is whip and thorns. Schools are unnecessary. The British will never educate Indians through schools. The only role of India in the Commonwealth is to provide enough cheap money for the British Empire. Labor, British people don't ask for trouble, educate Indians.

These earth kings in India have the same attitude towards the people at the bottom as the British government. The earth state system is deeply rooted in India. The earth kings also know that the earth state system will hinder the development of India, but no one cares about this matter and maintain the existing If the system is established, the princes of the country can get the greatest benefits, and no one wants to change all this.

"I understand my lord. In fact, I'm just worried that our work in Dhaka will encounter too much resistance." Of course, Roque will not cause extra problems. 2.5 million Indians, just thinking about it makes Roque fearful, and it can't be taught, no Everyone has the courage of a certain party.

"Don't worry my lord, we're not sure when we'll go to Dhaka—" Lord Belloc has the same opinion as Major General Marcus Lloyd. The inefficiency of the corrupt country is recognized. The officers and men of the army can take a good rest in Calcutta for a period of time.

Of course, Rock has no objection, but the chef of the new First Cavalry Division has a lot of opinions. If the standard of the new First Cavalry Division is followed, then in India, there is no food for the new First Cavalry Division to purchase. , Calcutta is already the most developed city in India, but in the market in Calcutta, almost all the food does not meet the standards of the new First Cavalry Division.

The chef of the newly formed First Cavalry Division is called Ji Yishu, who is Marvin’s apprentice. Before he set off, Rock had repeatedly emphasized food safety awareness to Ji Yishu, so the newly formed First Cavalry Division arrived in Calcutta. , All the ingredients are purchased by Ji Yishu himself.

What Ji Yishu didn't expect was that in the market in Calcutta, there was no food that could meet the requirements of the new First Cavalry Division. Therefore, Ji Yishu had no choice but to buy a few cows for the new edition. Food for the [-]st Cavalry Division.

But cattle have a very high status in India, so the decision to write down a book brought trouble to Rock again.
