If the attitude of the Welch Fusiliers had been better when Rock went to the Summerfield Gold Mine in the morning, then there would still be room for discussion on the matter.
Now
Just go ahead and do whatever you have to do!
The second lieutenant obviously didn't think so. He probably didn't expect that Rock would refuse so simply and neatly, so the second lieutenant's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Well, I'm really a lobster now. It's not working time. The second lieutenant is wearing a red uniform.
"Inspector, this is the intention of our regiment leader. Now this case will be handed over to your police station!" the second lieutenant said sharply, with an element of threat in his voice.
"Haha, you said this morning that your Welch Fusiliers will be responsible for this matter, so please take responsibility to the end. This is what the Johannesburg Police Chief wants." Rock took his time and concentrated on dealing with the things on his dinner plate.
Grilled Mushrooms.
Well, with the skill of the chef at Jinshan Hotel, the grilled mushrooms are still edible.
"Okay, very good!" The second lieutenant pointed his finger at Rock very rudely, his whole arm trembling.
"Indeed, the mushrooms taste good." Luo Ke said seriously, looking like he was devouring the food, which made him very angry.
The temper of the regular army was indeed very great. Early the next morning, Roque received a telegram from the Governor's Palace, asking Roque to go to Pretoria and explain to Alfred Milner face to face.
Hehe, can't a child beat a parent by calling his parents?
Useless stuff!
On the train, Rock finally met Norman Theresa, the leader of Welch's Fusiliers.
Norman Theresa's attitude was as arrogant as that annoying second lieutenant, and he had no intention of greeting Rock.
Roque didn't ask for trouble, everyone is their own master, no one is afraid of whom!
When Rock arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Rock unexpectedly discovered that the lineup waiting for Rock was unexpectedly strong.
In fact, they were all acquaintances that Rock had met, Governor Alfred Milner, and Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force Horatio Herbert Kitchener.
I can't say that we are familiar with each other, it's just a casual encounter, but we have definitely seen each other before.
General Kitchener had just succeeded General Roberts as Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force. General Roberts had been transferred back to the British mainland to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, General Kitchener was in Pretoria to attend the inauguration of Governor-General Alfred Milner.
Unexpectedly, before the inauguration ceremony even started, such a bloody drama would be staged first.
"After receiving the report yesterday morning, I immediately returned to Johannesburg to prepare to investigate the attack. However, after I arrived at the Summerfield gold mine, I found that the Welch Fusiliers had taken over the gold mine. I asked at that time
I took over, but was rejected by a second lieutenant from the Welch Fusiliers. Last night, the second lieutenant took the initiative to find me and asked to transfer the case to the Johannesburg Police Station. But what people didn't expect was that the entire scene had been destroyed.
Destruction, all traces left by the guerrilla attacks have been completely destroyed, all materials in the Summerfield gold mine warehouse have been evacuated, including the mansion where the mine owner lives, and the guerrillas even took away the carpets."
As Rock spoke, the expressions on Alfred Milner and Horatio Kitchener's faces became more and more exciting.
No one is a fool. What the guerrillas want is gold and supplies. Why do they want carpets?
So although Roque said that the carpet was taken away by the guerrillas, in fact, it is already obvious who took the carpet.
As for the materials in the warehouse, they are actually very helpful in solving the case. The materials in the Summerfield Gold Mine warehouse must have been recorded. If no one destroyed the scene, then through comparison, we can know that the guerrillas have
Based on what was stolen and how much was stolen, we can roughly calculate how fast the guerrillas were and whether there was a need to pursue them. This is very helpful in solving the case.
According to Rock, all of this no longer exists, so it is impossible to talk about pursuing and suppressing the guerrillas.
By the way, isn’t it the military’s task to exterminate the guerrillas?
"Nonsense, you didn't investigate the scene at all, you made all this up." Norman Theresa roared crazily. After he left the Summerfield Gold Mine, he received a report from the second lieutenant, and then reported it to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Sent a telegram.
In fact, Norman Theresa didn't know if the police department had taken over the Summerfield Gold Mine. Neither Norman Theresa nor the second lieutenant expected that Roark would dare to refuse, considering that Roark refused so simply.
, so Norman Theresa never thought of sending people back to the Summerfield Gold Mine.
"Your last carriage left the Summerfield Gold Mine at six o'clock in the evening. A total of eleven carriages left before that. After you left, the police who were ordered to stay behind immediately took over the Summerfield Gold Mine. In order to find the
A guerrilla group and dozens of policemen worked all night, and now they are still working, how can you say that?" Roque's counterattack was even sharper.
Eleven carriages!
This information is crucial. It seems that the Welch Fusiliers have gained quite a lot!
When Rock just walked into the conference room, Kitchina had already connected Rock with the "Locke" in his memory, so Kitchina looked at Rock with complicated eyes at that time.
It was this man who made the entire expeditionary force disgraced.
If Henry hadn't covered up the shame, the expeditionary force would have disgraced themselves all over the world.
It was also because of this man that the expeditionary force finally had a fig leaf. Directly killing the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition Joubert in the battle was widely publicized as the expeditionary force's achievement.
With these backgrounds in mind, Kitchener's attitude towards Roark is very complicated.
After listening to Rock's statement, Kitchener's eyes looked at Norman again, filled with anger.
Damn it, just be greedy, don't let others catch you!
I was caught, but I didn’t know it, and I still had the nerve to go to Pretoria to complain. You think I’m as thick-skinned as you, right?!!!
Regarding the military's protection of shortcomings, this point has a tradition.
In fact, not to mention the army, within the provisional government, Alfred Milner will also protect the shortcomings. If this time it is not the Welch Fusiliers who made a mistake, but the Johannesburg Police Department, then Alfred Milner will also do the same.
Will protect Rock.
No need for it now. The facts are obvious. When the Welch Fusiliers were performing their mission, they did not focus on chasing down the guerrillas, but on how to gain benefits.
This is actually an unspoken rule. If the Welch Fusiliers wiped out the guerrillas in time, no one would have anything to say, and Norman Theresa would still be rewarded for his meritorious service.
Now
hehe
