Chapter 77

Go to Dordrecht!

Rock's first impression was that Henry was crazy.

Roque and Henry are now probably on the blacklist of the Expeditionary Force Command. They were almost killed by the Expeditionary Force Command in Dordrecht before. Now if Rock and Henry return to Dordrecht with Joubert's body Hurt, I don't know what kind of stimulation the generals of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters will be.

"Don't be stupid, we can't go back to the Expeditionary Force Command, we're going to Kimberley, and then back to Cape Town." Rock didn't want to go to Dordrecht to seek death, and returning to Cape Town was the serious thing, at least he had to go Kimberly, killing Joubert is a top military achievement, and Rock doesn't want those guys on the Eastern Front to get any benefits.

What's more, what can you get by returning to Dordrecht?

Nothing but the envy of military generals.

"Yes, we have to carry out the task." Henry is not stupid, Roque clicked, and Henry immediately woke up.

Then continue on to the Kimberley.

On the road again, the commando team grew stronger. In the battle to kill Joubert, the commando seized more than 300 horses, which were used by Joubert and his guards, and now they have become the trophies of the commando.

In addition to the horses, the commando also captured 152 prisoners of war. Henry originally wanted to take the civilians with him, but was rejected by Rock.

What Roque is most worried about now is the revenge of the Boer coalition forces. The commando killed Joubert, and the Boer coalition forces could not have responded. If it weren't for Henry's reluctance to part with those captives, Rock didn't even want the captives.

Just one Joubert is worth enough.

Finally, there were enough horses, one for each person and one horse left, and all the prisoners were loaded into the carriage, and the commando marched towards Kimberley at the fastest speed.

The city of Kimberley was founded in 1870. It was a city that appeared with diamonds. The owner of the city was Cecil Rhodes, the former prime minister of the Cape Colony. After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Kimberley was once Besieged by the Boer coalition forces, half a month ago, the expeditionary force had just lifted the siege of Kimberley by the Boer coalition forces.

For a new city, if there is no planning, then there is nothing worthy of attention in the urban construction part of the whole city. Coupled with the baptism of the war some time ago, Kimberley looks even more dilapidated, with ruined walls and burned ruins everywhere. Sometimes there are even dead bodies on the side of the road that have not been cleaned up in time. Pedestrians and soldiers on the road are used to this.

If possible, the Expeditionary Force did not want any Boer prisoners. Although the Expeditionary Force Command expressly stipulated that the Boer prisoners who had surrendered should be given preferential treatment, in actual implementation, very few Boer prisoners survived, so when the commando arrived in Kimberley At that time, more than two hundred captives were really eye-catching.

"There are only 100 prisoners on your roster, why are there 252 now?" The lieutenant in charge of receiving the prisoners was quite polite, and his attitude was much better than that of the major in Dordrecht.

"We wiped out another Boer guerrilla on the way to Kimberley. We brought the captives and corpses, as well as the captured rifles and horses." Henry held his head high, and the next words were shocking: "We also shot dead After leaving Joubert, his body was in the carriage behind.

Joubert? !

The lieutenant looked up so quickly his glasses fell off the bridge of his nose.

"Are you sure it's Joubert?" The lieutenant was in a hurry and accidentally knocked down the chair when he stood up from the chair, but the lieutenant ignored it and looked behind Henry while leaning on the table.

"Yes, it's Joubert. The prisoners have already confessed. They are Joubert's guards." Henry raised his eyebrows, what happened to the police?

The police can do things that the regular army can't!

piss you off!

Because he was in a happy mood, Henry's voice was a little loud, and the soldiers around him heard the name "Jubert". As soon as Henry's voice fell, the soldiers surrounded him with a "boom", wanting to pay their respects to the famous Boer coalition commander. The remains of the commander and the commandos who were guarding the carriage were all pushed out of the crowd.

As the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition forces, Joubert's name was in full swing, and the news was immediately reported to the expeditionary force headquarters. Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, returned to Kimberley from the Orange front on the same day, and Chief of Staff Kitchener also returned from Dodd. Recht rushed to Kimberley, Henry and Roque were placed in a mansion that originally belonged to Cecil Rhodes, and other commandos were also properly placed.

"It's so comfortable, Locke. I'll build a swimming pool like this in the future." Henry was soaking in a pool that was the size of a swimming pool, enjoying the services of two Boer girls. One Boer girl was applying shower gel to Henry, and the other A Boer girl peels grapes to feed Henry.

"Heh, my home in Cape Town also has a swimming pool. What's so special about it?" There are also two Boer girls beside Rock, but Rock doesn't need their clothes. The two girls are fanning Rock. The water is really hot, it is estimated to be a hot spring.

"Your swimming pool is outdoors, but others are indoors. How does it compare?" Henry exposed Rock's hypocrisy, well, the grapes are a bit sour!

"The outdoor is also a swimming pool. You can't even put a fish tank in your house." Rock had to admit that Cecil Rhodes' house was the real mansion. Compared with this mansion, Rock's house paled in comparison. Clumsy, full of nouveau riche boring everywhere.

"Tell me what reward we can get this time, I think the queen will make me an earl!" Henry's biggest dream in this life is to surpass his father's title, so that Henry can return home in glory.

Otherwise, Henry will be out of luck, because seducing the general's daughter and being kicked out of the army is an act that will shame the entire family. If Henry doesn't have some good results, he can only hope that the Matilda family Family law will not be too strict.

"Dream, there is probably only one baron." Roque didn't want to discuss this issue, Henry could still look forward to the title, Roque didn't even need to think about it, Roque would be thankful to be an inspector.

In the British aristocratic system, the baron is the lowest-ranking title. Henry’s father’s title is a baron. Don’t think that the baron is easy to obtain. Alfred Milner, the governor of the Cape Colony, annexed the Transvaal Republic and Austria The Lange Free State only won one baronial title.

"Impossible, that's Joubert, at least he has to be a Viscount." Henry is not reconciled to only getting a baron. This may be the closest time Henry has come to being a baron in his life. If it is only a baron, how can Henry be reconciled.

It doesn't matter, whether it's a baron or a viscount, as long as Henry can get the title, Roque will have a thick enough thigh, and he can walk sideways in Cape in the future.

 Rock was knighted by the Queen of England due to his meritorious service, the fourth level of knighthood, named: Buchang——
