Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

What should be emphasized here is that Southern Africa holds the Commonwealth Games not just for medals, but to build the confidence of Southern Africans.

Although Southern Africa was the victor in the World War, Southern Africa participated in the World War as part of the British Empire, not as an independent country.

To this day, the British Empire still emphasizes this point, emphasizing the status of the British Empire as a suzerain, and emphasizing that it was under the leadership of the British that the Southern African Expeditionary Force achieved great military prowess in the world war.

 This is nonsense.

Without the participation of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the British Empire could also be said to be an Allied Power and would not have been able to win the Battle of the Dardanelles.

Without the participation of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the Allies might have lost Paris in the Battle of Verdun, which would have also led to the complete defeat of France. The British Expeditionary Force would have been forced to withdraw to the British mainland. It is not known how long the world war would drag on.

As for the material support, financial assistance and even strategic depth provided by Southern Africa to the Allied Powers during the World War, Britain could turn a blind eye. As a result, Southern Africa's contributions are rarely seen in various official British documents.

Even in the minds of some southern Africans, the influence of the British Empire remains ubiquitous.

It is this kind of thinking that Rock wants to reverse.

 Southern Africa is no longer a vassal of the British Empire.

Since Southern Africa cannot prove this through war in peacetime, it can prove it on the field.

From this point of view, it is true that "sports is a war in peacetime".

 It’s not just football.

On the outskirts of Johannesburg, Fan Rui and his companions were preparing in a temporary camp built for selection to participate in the Commonwealth Games.

Fan Rui is a Chinese from Lourenço Marquez and is planning to participate in all events of the 50-meter pistol and 50-meter rifle.

According to the regulations of the Commonwealth Games, shooting competitions are divided into three postures: standing, kneeling, and lying. Fan Rui participated in all competitions in the 50-meter pistol and 50-meter rifle events, making him a rare all-rounder.

.

“Have you participated in the World War?” Van Persie from Cape Town was very curious about Fan Rui. The two of them lived in the same house, and their names both had “Fan” in the pronunciation, so they hit it off immediately.

"No, but I have liked shooting since I was a child. I always carry a gun when I herd sheep. Sometimes I encounter lions in the wild. The shotgun is the biggest protection for me and the sheep." Fan Rui is not old. He should be in school at this age.

receive education.

"Of course, I also have to go to school in Lourenço Marquez, so when I herd sheep, I always want to participate in horse racing. Unfortunately, my horse is not fast enough, but my skills are definitely good." Fan Ruiyou

Confident, he is truly a second-generation Chinese born in southern Africa.

 Calculating time, 26 years have passed since Roque came to southern Africa.

 Twenty-six years is enough for the new generation to grow up, and many of them have entered society and gradually become the backbone of southern Africa.

Lorenzo Marquez only joined the federal government after the establishment of Southern Africa. For those Chinese who came to Southern Africa later, they adapted to Southern Africa very quickly. They have already taken root in Southern Africa and established themselves.

want to do.

This is true freedom. Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but not doing anything when you don’t want to.

"Really? My father runs a racecourse in Cape Town. We should communicate when we have time." Van Persie challenged Fan Rui. All players who have the ability to participate in the national selection competition have two brushes.

“I bet one rand, and you will definitely lose!” Fan Rui was confident. For a young man who has not yet joined the workforce, one rand is already a huge sum of money.

 The two went to have dinner at noon. Fan Rui and Van Persie both carried pistols with them.

Fan Rui’s pistol is the Python short-barreled revolver launched by Nyasaland Military Industry in 1907.

Van Persie's gun is a knight with a long barrel. The decorative effect of this gun is far greater than its actual significance. The gun is too heavy, the barrel is too long, and it is too obvious. The knight who wears it when riding on a horse is indeed very handsome. Everyday

It's a bit silly to wear.

But it doesn’t matter, Van Persie is not good at pistols in the rifle competition he participated in.

"Why don't you switch to a Browning? I heard that the pistol used in this competition is a Browning pistol." Van Persie doesn't know what Fan Rui's shooting skills are. He can participate in the national selection. His level should be good. He shouldn't do this.

Low level error.

“I brought four guns. This python was a gift from my father on my twelfth birthday.” Fan Rui emphasized.

Johannesburg provided a sumptuous lunch for the players, including top-quality Nyasaland steak, tender and juicy lamb, cashew nuts from Lourenço Marquise, and tuna meat flown from Madagascar.

Fan Rui had a good appetite and ordered a large piece of Nyasaland steak, then a full portion of lamb, and finally an apple and two bananas before he was satisfied.

"God, you look like you just escaped from a refugee camp." Van Persie's face was full of disgust, but his plate was still full. After sitting down, he took out a handful of cashews from his pocket like a magic trick and shared it with Fan Rui.

.

"Thank you, but no, this stuff is everywhere in Lorenzo Marquez, just like the aster trees in Johannesburg, you can see it everywhere." Fan Rui is not surprised, Lorenzo Marquez is called "

"Land of Cashews", revenue from cashews accounts for more than one-fifth of the Lourenço Marques state government's revenue.

 In addition to cashews, Lourenço Marquez also produces rubber, wood, coal, sugar, chromium, aluminum, etc. Lourenço Marquez has the largest aluminum products processing plant in southern Africa.

"That's really good. Our specialty in Cape Town is grapes, especially the wine from Oak Town. You must have tasted it." Van Persie enthusiastically recommended to Fan Rui. Unfortunately, the organizing committee did not provide alcoholic beverages, otherwise Van Persie could

Have a drink with Fan Rui.

　　No, Fan Rui and Robin Persie will participate in the selection match in the afternoon, so at least they can't drink today.

"How prepared are you? Are you sure? We are competitors." Van Persie is very cheerful and does not intentionally cause interference to Fan Rui.

"I don't know, I can go to Johannesburg to participate in the competition. The other players are very good. I heard that when the trials were held in Nyasaland, in the 50-meter pistol trials, in one competition, several people shot 100 rings with ten bullets at the same time.

We had to play three extra rounds to select the player with the most stable performance." Fan Rui was slightly worried. He could also achieve a score of 100, but it would take some luck, let alone three consecutive rounds of 100.

"Don't worry, that doesn't mean anything. A shooter's game performance is greatly affected by the environment. Good performance at that time does not mean it is good now. It also depends on the on-the-spot state and psychological condition. Sometimes it is even due to excessive drinking at noon.

Overeating will affect your performance. This is what my teacher told me. He was a special shooter who participated in the World War." Van Persie has evil intentions.

Fan Rui looked at the plate in front of him in embarrassment. The steak in his hand was tasteless, so he simply pushed the plate away and said, "I won't eat anymore. I want to stay in shape."

Van Persie laughed out loud, the prank finally succeeded.

Fan Rui's skills are quite good. In the afternoon trials, Fan Rui advanced continuously in the 50-meter pistol kneeling position and prone position. In the second round of the kneeling position, he also scored a perfect score of 100 rings, and successfully won the title of representing the South.

African qualifications for the Commonwealth Games.

  Unfortunately, in the standing position, Fan Rui was eliminated even though he scored 95 rings.

"You are already great, your performance is very good. If I can get two qualifications back, my dad might reward me with a car." Van Persie was pleasantly surprised. It turns out that this little guy really wasn't bragging. He really has it.

The ability to win a championship.

  In 50-meter pistol shooting, scoring 95 rings is actually a very good result.

At the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, Xu Haifeng fired 60 bullets from a 50-meter pistol slowly and shot 566 rings, winning the event and winning China's first Olympic title.

 At the same Olympic Games that year, Wang Yifu won the bronze medal with 564 rings.

  10 bullets have 95 rings, multiplied by 6 to get 570, which was a legitimate champion in the 1984 Olympics.

This also involves a stability issue. Pistol competition is also physical work. It is a comprehensive test of skills, body, and mental endurance. Being able to hit 95 with ten rounds does not mean that you can hit 570 with 60 rounds. It may not even be 550.

can not hit.

"Little guy, you're doing well, come and take a rest and prepare for the next game." Willy Owen, the leader of Lorenzo Marquez athletes, was also overjoyed. In a popular sport like football, Lorenzo Marquez did not

There is not much competition in the state, and there is not even one club participating in the top league. The only way to achieve results is through sports that rely on luck such as shooting.

"How do you feel? I'm right, eating less at noon is indeed more conducive to the performance of the competition. It will be up to me later. I will definitely get the right to participate in the three events. Even someone like you

Guys can win two games in a row, there's no reason why I can't." Robin van Persie kept chattering, and Willie Owen endured it again and again before resisting the urge to drive this guy away.

 It was Van Persie's turn to compete. This guy was too nervous and his performance was affected. He only scored 88 rings in the standing fifty-meter rifle and was eliminated in the first round.

The shooting in southern Africa is indeed very strong. In the 50-meter rifle standing position, among the 20 people who played at the same time as Van Persie, three people scored a perfect 100 points, and 11 people scored 95 points or above. Van Persie's score was only ranked 19th.

 Fan Rui comes on next.

 When Fan Rui came on the field, the athletes in Van Persie's group were leaving the field.

Van Persie made a "Come on!" gesture to Fan Rui.

 Fan Ruiping calmly raised his gun, aimed and fired.

　　Boom!

 Ten rings.

　　寯

 It’s still ten rings.

 After ten rounds, Fan Rui hit a perfect score of 100 rings, once again shocking the audience.
