Chapter 61 Cornucopia

If it is to deal with criminals, Roque doesn't need too many manpower. After all, criminals appear on a small scale. To deal with them, it is expensive to deal with them. Roque doesn't even look down on the well-behaved Boers, let alone India, which is in the way. people.

Escorting supplies to the front line is different. To deal with the Boer guerrillas who are good at attacking railways, the more people the better. If possible, Rock even wants to transfer all the police into the commando.

But that is obviously impossible. August Russell can create convenience for Henry as much as possible to a certain extent, but he will not compromise without a bottom line. The size of the commando is limited to 120 people, and there is no one in the regular army. There are many people in the company.

"We need to send enough logistical materials to Dordrecht, which is the closest to Ladysmith, before February 2th. The attack on the eastern front will start from Dordrecht." Henry looked at the map and asked Roque introduced that he did not realize at all that he had leaked the military plan of the British army on the Eastern Front.

"If you want to send to Dordrecht, wouldn't it be closer to start from Durban? Why start from Cape Town?" Rock wanted to be lazy. Lady Smith is 200 kilometers away from Durban and 1200 kilometers away from Cape Town. This is to stay close and seek distance.

Henry didn't speak, and rolled his eyes at Rock.

Rock understood right away, even a former trade dog could see it, but couldn't the generals in the expeditionary force headquarters see it?

Gou Ri’s Expeditionary Command did it on purpose. It was more convenient to travel by sea from Cape Town to Durban, but to take the railway would have to face the Boer guerrilla attacks. Don’t the generals of the headquarters know?

No, they know, but maybe that's what they want to see!

"Well, if I have to go by rail, then I need some maxims and armored trains." Rock wanted to prepare as much as possible.

"Yes, there are plenty of Maxim in the warehouse, and there are also armored trains, but, will you know how to use Maxim?" Henry was a little curious, Maxim is different from Lee Enfield, and requires strict training to use it proficiently.

"Hehe, don't worry, you probably don't know the training program of Huayong Camp yet." Rock is not worried about this problem. The information on the police does not include the newly recruited Chinese police officers. Four of the former Chinese police officers have received machine gun training.

Unexpectedly, the Huayong Battalion is so powerful. In addition to light weapons training, Huayongs also need to receive machine gun training, riding training, fighting training, etc., and so on. Low-level officers like Rock and the others are also issued sabers Well, it's just that when they left the Huayong camp, Roque and the others turned in all their sabers, otherwise it would be very commemorative.

"Okay, leave the equipment to me, and I'll coordinate it." Henry also had to go all out. On the battlefield, the Boers would not hold back.

"One more thing, if we send supplies to the front line, what about the security area we are in charge of?" Rock is not willing to part with the lucrative wharf. He wants to be promoted and earn money. The two do not conflict. How did Qian get promoted?

"What should I do—" Henry is also reluctant, Rock is not stingy, Henry can get about 100 pounds of "tribute" from Rock every week, this is not a small amount, excluding bonuses, it is Henry's normal salary Twenty times: "How about—temporarily handing it over to Stanley or Rahul?"

The sheriff of the commando team, if the commando team is going to the front line, Stanley and Rahul will also go with them.

If it was because of the business at the dock, Henry could keep either Stanley or Rahul, but it was impossible for Rock to stay. If Rock didn't go with Henry, then Henry would rather resign.

"No, as the size of the commando team expands, the number of sheriffs should also increase. Find a way to select another sheriff from the existing commandos." Rock will not let other people get involved in his territory, and his own people are the most at ease.

Besides, the police station now has more than 100 Chinese-American police officers, and only Rock, a Chinese-American sheriff, is a bit lonely. Rock needs to support more Chinese-American police officers, even if the sheriff is a glass ceiling for Chinese-American police Rock also needs as many Chinese-American sheriffs as possible.

"Who do you want to choose?" Henry wasn't surprised, nor did he object. Only when Rock was satisfied, Rock would do his best, and Henry could escape this disaster.

Can't hide, gods and horses are just floating clouds.

"Anton, he killed the last rebel, and he deserved it." Rock already had a candidate in mind, and Anton was very suitable no matter in terms of qualifications or ability.

"Okay, I'll go to the director tomorrow." Henry felt a sense of urgency, and he was about to leave, so these things should be arranged early.

At night, Rock finds Anton and tells Anton the good news.

Unexpectedly by Rock, Anton was not very happy when he heard the news. He squatted on the steps of the dormitory door and smoked a whole cigarette before Anton sighed: "Forget it, Locke, I can't be Sheriff, let Luo Yi do it, Luo has an eye for skin, has a good eye for things, and is now more famous than me, so it is more suitable for Luo Yi to be the sheriff."

From this point of view, Luo Yi is indeed more suitable than Anton. After all, Luo Yi was born in the market, so he must have sharp eyesight, otherwise he would not be able to live now.

What's more, Luo Yi's performance when he was whipped was impressive. Even those British people have to admit that Luo Yi looks thin and weak, but he has a strong handle, let alone those Indians. Looking at Luo Yi's eyes is similar to looking at Rock, both are a little scared.

"Think carefully about Anton, the opportunity is rare." Rock didn't force it, but just reminded Anton not to miss the opportunity, miss this time, and don't know that it will be the year of the monkey next time.

"I know the opportunity is rare, but we will go to the battlefield in a few days. On the battlefield, I am more useful than Luo Yi." Anton usually procrastinates in doing things, but he can still clear up the critical moment: "Our Huayongying is also a generation Not as good as the previous generation, the last batch of Huayong, although it was a bit miserable, only you and I were corporals, this batch is even worse, there is not a single corporal, all of them are private soldiers, and they are all recruits who hear the gunfire and don’t pee their pants It's not bad."

Rock has been busy seeking benefits from the bureau these days, and has not yet contacted the new Chinese policeman, but Anton knows the new Chinese policeman quite well.

"Okay, just think about it. It's not necessarily a bad thing to go to the battlefield. For others, the battlefield is the Shura field. For us, the battlefield is a cornucopia." Rock is really not worried, not because Rock is a time traveler, It's because Roque understands the fighting power of the Huayongs.

 Rock is going to the battlefield, so there must be a travel ticket——
