Chapter 60 Probationary Inspector
It seemed as if Phyllis had made Roque's home her own, and lived so comfortably.
Based on this, Henry also took over a room under the banner of protecting Phyllis.
Roque tried to object, but the opposition was ineffective, and after a night at Roque's house, Henry never returned to his kennel.
Inexistent!
"Listen to my Roque, sell me the house, I won't let you suffer, how about £500?" Whenever the opportunity arises, Henry lobbied Roque, and the price has risen from the initial 200 to 500.
If it's just Henry alone, then maybe Henry can continue to live like before, and it won't work if there is one more Phyllis, don't look at Henry and Phyllis often hurt each other, but Henry is definitely unwilling to let Phyllis live in that environment, and even although Henry doesn't admit it, it has become a habit to spoil Phyllis, otherwise Henry knows that after Phyllis escapes, his first reaction should be to inform his father, instead of helping Phyllis hide it.
"£500? I'm afraid you're dreaming, not to mention that the original value of the house was more than £1,000, and after I took over, I added construction and improved feng shui - do you know what feng shui is? It's a mystic technique that increases good luck, haven't you noticed that I've been running around with good luck since I bought this house? How much do you think this is worth? "Roque won't sell it, after selling the house, Roque has no reason to come back at any time, how good it is now, although he still lives in the dormitory, but Roque can come back at any time to be eye-catching.
What's more, some things are really indescribable, such as Feng Shui, this is very magical, although Roque doesn't really believe in this thing, but in the eyes of others, it is indeed since Roque bought this house, Roque has been lucky, which is difficult to explain.
“1000? I'm afraid it's you dreaming, you bought this house for only 100, and now you make five times as much as you are not satisfied? "Henry knows how much it cost Roque to buy the house and how much the house itself is worth, but will Henry let Roque get his wish?
Dream!
"Brother Henry, do you have 1,000 pounds?" Phyllis was a little curious, £1,000 was not a small amount, and Phyllis and Henry's father worked as directors of the Colonial Affairs Office, earning only £1,000 a year.
This would also explain why Henry, a guy who was kicked out of the army, could still work in the Cape Town Police Department, as was customary, the Cape Colonial government did not recruit anyone with a stain, and being kicked out of the army was not necessarily because of a crime, but definitely because of a stain.
"Eat your meal!" Henry never pretends to Phyllis every day, and the third brother is like a father.
Yes, Roque and Henry and Phyllis are having breakfast, and since Henry and Phyllis moved in, Roque sometimes comes back for breakfast, otherwise, it would be too lonely to eat alone.
Especially, when one person eats breakfast at a twelve-person long dining table.
The variety of breakfast is certainly not as rich as afternoon tea, but it tastes good, the milk and eggs are very fresh, not to mention the rest.
Phyllis puffed out and tried to contradict Henry, but her eyes rolled and she didn't say anything.
"A good news and a bad news, hear that one first?" Henry asked Roque to pick his own.
"If you don't listen, okay?" Roque was not fooled.
Phyllis laughed out loud, Henry was furious, and slapped the table, and the tableware on the table "Ding Lang Bang" made a chaotic sound: "No, if you don't listen, you have to listen, the good news is that the commandos hired from the Huayong Battalion will be in place, and the bad news is that as soon as they are in place, the commandos will start to perform some military tasks, but you don't have to worry, I can't run away this time, I want to go with you, but you know, in fact, you are still in command, and if I command, I am afraid it will only help." ”
Military mission?
MMP, the old turtles of the military, sure enough, have bad intentions, Henry attacked the "linear tactics" in the newspaper, the old turtles didn't say anything, but the body was very honest, and directly transferred the commandos to the front, come on, come on, give you the gun, you have the ability to fight!
It's really a good reincarnation in heaven, Roque originally thought that he was hiding behind him, and Henry was on top of the sky when it fell, but he didn't expect that when the sky fell, Henry's height was not big enough, and no one could run away.
"Message confirmed?" Although he was MMP in his heart, Roque still had a smile on his face, his hand tearing bread was very stable, and his speed and strength were very even.
Well, Anna's technique is really indescribable, and the bread is still soaked and eaten.
"Sure - this is the news that Director Russell got from the Governor's Palace, the expeditionary force has to deal with the Boers, and it can't pull out troops to escort supplies, so we are asked to be responsible for escorting supplies to the front line, this is not a combat mission, but there is a certain danger, because the Boers are attacking our transportation line, but you know, in the entire police station, only the commandos have a certain combat capability." Henry is also very big-headed, if it weren't for Phyllis's presence, I believe Henry would have scolded him.
It is indeed to be scolded, the Cape now has 250,000 expeditionary forces, of which there are more than 35,000 servant troops on the side of the Cape colony, so many people, they can't even spare the manpower to send supplies to the front line, and they have to transfer people from the Cape Town Police Department, which has a total number of only more than 600 points, I am afraid that not only Henry, but even the police chief Auguste Russell wants to curse.
Of course, Henry has nothing to say, the delivery of supplies is just an excuse, and revenge for Henry's false words in the newspaper is probably true, and August Russell probably understands this, so he did not raise an objection, because if he objected, it might lead to more violent retaliation from the military.
"No, Brother Henry, you can't go, I won't let you go!" Phyllis's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that the war was so close to Cape Town.
"Phyllis, eat your meal!" In the same way, Henry was gentle this time.
With tears in her eyes, Phyllis lowered her head and stopped talking, born in a noble family, Phyllis knew that this was an inescapable fate.
It's really fate, the lobster soldiers on the battlefield line up to shoot, the most dangerous thing is not the soldiers in the queue, but the officers who lead the charge in front of the queue, these people are generally the children of the nobility, in peacetime, they enjoy the privileges brought to them by nobility, and in the war years, they want to prove with their lives that they are worthy of the privileges they have.
"Well, how big is the assault team?" Since the order can't be changed, Roque has to find a way to get some advantage.
"You can be as big as you want, this time a total of 80 people were transferred from the Huayong battalion, and I put them all into the commando team, and if there are not enough people, we can also transfer Indian police officers and Boer police officers." Henry is also very good at bargaining, saying that if he makes another meritorious service this time, Henry can be promoted to superintendent.
Perhaps, Roque can also fight for the next Probationary Inspector.
