Chapter 505

Rock came to visit Tirunal in the name of Lord Belloc, so the topic easily shifted to Tirunal's body.

Tirunal still expressed his gratitude to Rock and Lord Belloc first, and then said that he had not been out of the territory of the Valma family for a long time because of his old age, and asked Rock to convey his apology to Lord Belloc .

Of course, Rock was a series of good things at the moment, and then he asked Tirunal for his views on the current riots in East Bengal.

"The root cause of the riots in East Bengal is that the former Governor George Curzon disrespected us Indians. He did not consider the actual situation in India, so he rashly divided Bangladesh. This is deliberately creating conflicts, and East Bengal is also A part of India, East Bengal and India cannot be artificially isolated-fortunately, Governor George Curzon was transferred away, it depends on how Earl Minto adjusts next, but it is very difficult to restore East Bengal to the previous situation , Contradictions are like scars, once they appear, it is impossible to recover." Thirunal didn't know whether it was because he was a little old, or he had confidence in his own family, and he had no scruples when speaking.

On the contrary, this attitude made Rock very satisfied. Rock was not in the mood to play Tai Chi with Tirunal, and it would be better to be straightforward.

"It is impossible for Lord Minto to fundamentally overturn Lord Dalston's decision. He has decided to move the capital to Delhi. Calcutta is no longer the political center of India." Rock's attention is on Tirunal's expression on, trying to find some clues.

Tirunal's reaction was very intense, as if he didn't care about Rock's temptation at all: "This is also a stupid decision. Moving the capital will not solve the problem, but will aggravate the chaos in East Bengal. The former governor created all this, Earl Minto Not only did they fail to change the wrong decision, but instead exacerbated the risk of conflict, they should be responsible for the current conflict, before serving as the governor of India, they did not understand India at all, and this is the root of all chaos."

This remark made Rock hard to answer, so Rock smiled politely with a little embarrassment, hoping that Tirunal would take the initiative to stop such meaningless venting.

Tirunal is already dying, so he definitely doesn't care about it, but Tirunal's sons care, so Tirunal's eldest son Seydu immediately came to remind Tirunal not to be too excited.

"I'm sorry Lord, my father's health is not very good. The doctor has said many times that my father's body should not be too excited—" Saidu took the initiative to apologize to Roque, and also meant to let Tirunal rest.

Rock knew the meaning immediately, and offered to let Tirunal rest. Rock was exhausted after a long journey, so he wanted to take a rest first.

The Varma family's manor is big enough, and the room where Roque temporarily rests is also tall and spacious. Another son of Tirunal, Pradam, came with a few maids to provide Roque with a full range of thoughtful services, but Roque Resolutely refuse.

In fact, the appearance of the maids is still very good. The standard Aryan whites, Rock can only sigh, the life of the feudal princes is really too much.

Then the information about the Valma family was continuously collected.

When he came to the Valma Manor, Rock found out that the little-known Valma family actually had more than 3000 private soldiers. These private soldiers were equipped with relatively advanced Martini Henry rifles in India, and even the guards of the Valma Manor The one used is Lee Enfield, which is rare in India.

When the soldiers of the newly formed [-]st Cavalry Division took over the defense, they found that the guards of the Varma Manor were equipped with heavy machine guns, which are already considered contraband in India. Even the maharajas cannot have similar "heavy weapons" .

No wonder Tirunal spoke so confidently just now, how much he should look down on the new First Cavalry Division.

When Rock was a guest in the manor, private soldiers of the Valma family were gathering outside the manor. Geng Biao reported that at least a thousand private soldiers had gathered outside the manor. It seemed that the Valma family was indeed harboring evil intentions.

Rock is not worried either. Although Rock has only a company of a hundred or ten people around him, the main force of the new First Cavalry Division led by Guan Jing has arrived at a position less than ten kilometers away from Valma Town and is waiting. For any attack, Guan Jing will immediately lead the main force to reinforce it.

As for the private soldiers of the Valma family, no matter how well equipped they are, in Rock's view, they are all chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning at all.

The combat effectiveness of the army does not mean that it can be achieved by gathering people together and shooting a gun by one person. It requires continuous hard training. As far as the situation of the Varma family is concerned, Rock does not think that Tirunal understands the importance of training for the army However, there are no troops in India that can fight. The only ones that can fight are the Gurkhas, but the Gurkha troops are controlled by the British, and the Indian maharajas are not qualified to hire Gurkhas.

An hour later, Pradam came to invite Rock to dinner.

Tirunal prepared a grand welcome dinner for Rock. The dinner was not a buffet, nor was it a table-sharing system for one person. Instead, the dining table was arranged like a conference room, where many people sat in rows around the table. kind of form.

This method is actually quite good, at least the order is in order, but the food prepared for the dinner party makes Rock very dissatisfied.

Rock finally saw the traditional Indian cuisine. Indians have this ability. No matter what the ingredients are, they will end up making you a dirty mess, yellow or green, and you don’t seem to have any appetite.

Tirunal and other Indians eat very well. Many of them don't use knives and forks, and of course they don't use their hands. Instead, they each have a spoon. The posture is just like kindergarten children eating, and when eating He also talked loudly, and some people's voices were surprisingly loud.

One of them was sitting next to Rock, and greeted Rock warmly as soon as the dinner started.

"Ni-ya-sa-lan-hon-jue-my pronunciation is pretty standard, why don't you eat it, this is our traditional Indian food, can't you eat it in southern Africa? After eating it, you will instantly In love with India—"

Probably this man has a special concept of food, or he has never eaten real food.

This can be regarded as a fallacy, your arsenic, my honey, maybe those delicacies that Rock thinks are also junk food in the eyes of others.

If this man's behavior was just a little arrogant, then the attitude of others towards Rock was not friendly.

"I heard that the natives in southern Africa are cannibals—"

This voice immediately caused a burst of exclamation. I don't know why Indians like to be so surprised. They don't analyze whether the words are reliable or not. They just listen to the wind and rain.

"Isn't this Lord Nyasaran Chinese? Why doesn't he have braids?"

This man's voice is not too low, not far from Rock's position, Rock can hear it clearly.

The gazes of the others looking at Rock immediately lost their respect and increased their sarcasm. Several people couldn't help laughing, as if they had heard the funniest joke in their life.

Rock could still keenly notice that Tirunal seemed to be deaf to these words, and buried his head in the plate in front of him, munching, and his beard was covered with rice residue.

Seydoux was watching Rock's reaction, seeing that Rock had noticed him, he immediately smiled flatteringly, and raised his glass to Rock.

The wine is the best wine, but Roque is not very drunk. Whether it is arranged by Tirunal or not, Roque will not condone this behavior. This is not only disrespectful to Roque, but also a disrespect to the empire. The disrespect of the nobles, as a part of the imperial nobles, Roque must maintain the majesty of the group of imperial nobles.

So Rock smiled and put down the cup in his hand, took off the napkin and gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth, leaned back on the chair with ease, and gave Tang En a look.

Tang En couldn't hold back for a long time, and received a signal from Roque, he walked behind the guy who said "braid" in three steps in two steps, put down the man and the chair, and then put the man with one hand Pull it up and walk outside.

The guy caught by Tang En struggled desperately, but he couldn't get rid of Tang En's grip. The door panel figure of about 1.9 meters was no joke. When Tang En used to be a machine gunner, he carried a [-]-kilogram heavy machine gun on his back. The shooter is only responsible for carrying bullets. This guy is simply extremely powerful, so he was selected by Rock to serve as his personal bodyguard.

This change immediately aroused the attention of others, and there were exclamations all over the place.

Tirunal finally raised his head from the dinner plate, and looked at Rock blankly: "What's the matter, what happened?"

Rock didn't believe that the old guy didn't know. Without the instruction of Tirunal or a member of the Varma family, Rock didn't believe that an Indian would dare to mock a British nobleman face to face.

"Lord, Gerry is rude. If he accidentally offends you, I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you don't hurt him." Saidu hurried over at this time and apologized to Rock directly.

"Yes, Gerry was also unintentional, he didn't mean to."

"We all know Gerry, Gerry's a good guy—"

"Can the British bully people like that—"

Seydoux's apology was the beginning, and there were all kinds of voices at once, some sincerely apologized, while others just added fuel to the fire.

"Saidu, those who have made mistakes must pay for their mistakes—" Rock does not condone, as Indians are like this, if they are given three points of color, they dare to open dyeing workshops, Rock just refuses to give an inch, Then look at the bottom line of these Indians.

As for the so-called "Gerry", he was also to blame. Rock was worrying that he would not have the opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys, but Gerry actually took the initiative to deliver it to his door. Rock was in a very happy mood at the moment.
