If it is to deal with criminals, then Roque does not need too many manpower, after all, criminals appear on a small scale, and it is not expensive to deal with them, and Roque can't even look down on decent Boers, let alone Indians who are in the way.

Sending supplies to the front line was different, the more Boer guerrillas who were good at attacking the railroads, the better, and Roque even wanted to transfer all the police into the commandos if he could.

But that was obviously impossible, and August Russell could make it as convenient as possible for Henry to a certain extent, but he would not compromise without a bottom line, and the size of the commando was limited to 120 men, which was not as large as a company in the regular army.

"We need to get enough logistical supplies to Dordrecht, the closest to Leddy Smith, by February 25th, and the offensive on the Eastern Front will start from Dordrecht." Henry looked at the map and introduced it to Roque, unaware that he had leaked the military plans of the British army on the Eastern Front.

"If it's going to be sent to Dordrecht, isn't it closer from Durban? Why fly from Cape Town? "Roque wants to be lazy, and Ladysmith is 200 kilometres from Durban and 1,200 kilometres from Cape Town.

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

Roque immediately understood, a former trade dog could see it, but the generals in the expeditionary force headquarters could not see it?

The Dog's Day Expeditionary Force Command was deliberate, it was more convenient to travel from Cape Town to Durban by sea, and by rail it was necessary to face the attacks of the Boer partisans, didn't the generals of the command know?

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

"Well, if I have to take the railway, then I need some Maxim and armored trains." Roque was to be as prepared as he could.

"Yes, there are a lot of them in the Makqin warehouse, and there are also armored trains, but, will you use Makqin?" Henry was a little curious, unlike Lee Enfield, Maxim needed rigorous training to become proficient.

"Hehe, don't worry, you probably don't know the training program of Huayong Camp yet." Roque is not worried about this problem, not only everyone in the Huayong Battalion is a sharpshooter, but also no stranger to Makqin, Roque has seen the information of Chinese policemen, not including the newly recruited Chinese policemen, four of the previous Chinese policemen have received machine gun training.

Unexpectedly, the Huayong battalion is so awesome, in addition to small arms training, Huayong also have to receive machine gun training, riding training, combat training, etc., etc., Luo Ke These low-level officers, each of them was also issued with a saber, but when they left the Hua Yong battalion, Luo Ke and their sabers were all handed in, otherwise it would be very commemorative.

"Okay, I'll take care of the equipment, and I'll coordinate it." Henry also had to go all out and go to war, and the Boers would not spare their hands.

"One more thing, if we send supplies to the front line, what will happen to the security area we are responsible for now?" Roque is reluctant to get the oily wharf, the official wants to be promoted, and the money must be earned, the two are not in conflict, how can he be promoted without money?

"What should I do—" Henry was reluctant, Roque was not stingy, Henry could get about 100 pounds a week from Roque for "filial piety", which was not a small amount, not including bonuses, twenty times Henry's normal salary: "Or—give it to Stanley or Rahul for the time being?" ”

is also the sergeant of the commando, and if the commando team is going to the front, Stanley and Rahul will also go with him.

If it was because of the dock business, Henry could have left either Stanley or Rahul, Roque couldn't have stayed, and if Roque didn't go with Henry, Henry would rather resign.

"No, the size of the commando team should be increased, and the number of sergeants should also be increased, and we should find a way to select another sergeant from the existing commandos." Roque will not let others get involved in his own territory, or his own people are the most assured.

Besides, the police department now has more than 100 Chinese police officers, and only one Chinese police sergeant, Roque, is really a bit alone, and Roque needs to support more Chinese police officers, even if the sheriff is the glass ceiling of Chinese police officers, Roque also needs as many Chinese police officers as possible.

"Who do you want to choose?" Henry is not surprised, nor is he opposed, only by satisfying Roque, Roque will do his best, and Henry can avoid this catastrophe.

can't dodge, the gods and horses are all floating clouds.

"Anton, he killed the last rebel, and he deserved it." Roque already had a candidate in mind, whether it was qualifications or ability, Anton was very suitable.

"Okay, I'll go to the director tomorrow." Henry has a sense of urgency, and he is about to leave, so these things must be arranged as soon as possible.

In the evening, Roque finds Anton and tells Anton the good news.

To Roque's surprise, Anton was not very happy when he heard the news, squatted on the steps at the door of the dormitory and smoked a whole cigarette, before Anton sighed: "Forget it, Locke, I can't be a sheriff, let Luo Yi do it, Luo Yi has a good eye for work, and now he is more famous than me, so it is more suitable for Luo Yi to be a sheriff." ”

If you say it from this point of view, Luo Yi is indeed more suitable than Anton, after all, Luo Yi was born in the market, and he must have eyesight, otherwise he would not be able to live now.

What's more, Luo Yi's performance when he was flogged was impressive, even those British people have to admit that Luo Yi looks thin, but he has a ruthless hand, not to mention those Indians, they look at Luo Yi with similar eyes to Luo Ke, and they are a little afraid.

"Think about Anton clearly, it's a rare opportunity." Roque didn't force it, only reminded Anton not to miss the opportunity, miss this time, and don't know that the next time it will be the Year of the Monkey.

"I know the opportunity is rare, but in a few days we will go to the battlefield, and on the battlefield, I will be more useful than Luo." Usually Anton is a little procrastinator in doing things, but he can still carry it at a critical time: "Our Huayong battalion is also not as good as the generation, the last batch of Huayong, although it is a little miserable, only you and I are corporals, this batch is even worse, there is not a corporal, all of them are privates, and they are all new soldiers, and when they hear the sound of cannons, it is good not to pee their pants." ”

Roque has been busy asking for benefits from the bureau these days, and he has not yet contacted the new Chinese police, but Anton knows the new Chinese police very clearly.

"Okay, just think it through, going to the battlefield is not necessarily a bad thing, for others, the battlefield is the Shura field, and for us, the battlefield is a cornucopia." Roque is really not worried, not because Roque is a traverser, but because Roque understands the combat effectiveness of Hua Yong.
