Early in the morning, Roque got up early to wash up, and from today onwards, he was going to officially go to work, and Roque wanted to make a good impression on his boss.

By the time the rest of his colleagues got up, Roque had already finished his morning workout and taken a cold shower, and Cape Town in November was in the middle of summer, and the climate was very different from that of the Qing Dynasty.

Cape Town has a typical Mediterranean climate, with summer from November to February and winter from May to August, Cape Town's summer climate is warm and dry, with an average maximum temperature of 26 degrees.

Changing into a full police uniform, Roque felt good about himself and enjoyed a hearty breakfast in the cafeteria, Roque arrived at the police station early to start the day's work.

"Luo, you came just in time, move this box of pistols back, from today onwards, we will also be equipped with weapons." There are sixteen policemen in Roque's detachment, and the sheriff's name is Henri Matilda, Roque's luck is not bad, and he met Henry Matilda as soon as he arrived at the police station: "You came early enough, I thought you were going to rest for a few days." ”

It must be said that both the Chinese and Indian police officers are lazy enough to not come to the police station even if they have nothing to do in the dormitory until they go to work, and for most people, this is just a job.

But for Roque, this is the way up the ladder, so Roque has to be more positive, no, just come to work half an hour early, Roque gets the opportunity to communicate with Henri Matilda alone.

"Call me Locke, Sheriff, that's my English name, I wish I could be as strong as a rock, I've rested long enough." Roque was quick with his hands and feet, picking up the box and following Henri Matilda, slightly half a position behind.

"Locke, great name, that's a great idea." Henry Matilda was a little surprised that Roque was the first of the Chinese police officers Henry Matilda came into contact with to have an English name.

Replaced by Anton them, probably insist on sitting without changing the surname and not changing the name, in fact, this is the same as whether the grave should burn paper or take a bouquet of flowers, there is no need to insist on it, think about it in another position, if a white person wants to work and live in the Qing country, then is it more convenient to give himself a Chinese name? At least this is more acceptable to the Chinese people.

Roque and the Chinese people living overseas are the same, in a city where white people are the main body, then you must actively accept everything in this city, including the name, and cannot be incompatible with the city, so that others will see your efforts and be willing to give you opportunities and have the possibility of promotion.

A simple fact, why did Sharma become a sheriff?

Because on the day Sharma came to Cape Town, he applied for Cape Town citizenship and became an official Cape Townian, which is the right attitude, before Roque, other Chinese police officers stuck to tradition, in addition to accepting British salaries, boycotting everything from the British, and even unwilling to learn English other than the common language, in this case, the British naturally will not regard the Chinese as their own, and the Chinese will not get the opportunity to be promoted.

"Thank you, if it's convenient, tomorrow I'll go to the immigration office to apply for naturalization, and then see if there is a suitable house nearby, and if I can, I'll have my home in Cape Town." Roque did things very simply, since he wanted to take refuge in the British, he should take refuge in a thorough manner and cut off all his back roads, so as to gain the trust of the British.

"That's the right idea, Locke, I support you in doing this, so that I'll give you another day off, and you go and finish this first." Henri Matilda encouraged Roque to become naturalized as soon as possible, in line with the general trend of the Cape Colonies, where the British were so few that they had to rely on foreign populations to rule over a vast colony spread across the globe.

"No, I can do this by the way when I go to patrol the streets, and it won't affect my work." Roque has a clear goal, and it is more important to give the impression of a serious and responsible job to his boss than a day off.

"Very well, it's rare that you have the mind, pick one of these pistols, and go to the training ground to get a few shots, you have to familiarize yourself with your weapon as soon as possible." Henri Matilda looked at Roque with admiration, and that was what Roque wanted.

Roque and the others are going to be armed with a Webley revolver, which is characterized by the fact that when the shooter folds the barrel down, the cartridge casings in the nest will also be ejected at the same time, making it easier for the shooter to reload.

The Webley revolver began to equip the British army in 1877, the second Boer War, was the first time that the Webley revolver was widely used, compared to the previous pistol, the Webley revolver was advanced enough, this pistol has a high processing standard, so the performance is reliable, strong and durable, but at the same time the shortcomings of the Webley revolver are also obvious, such as a slower rate of fire, insufficient muzzle kinetic energy, too much recoil and so on.

In fact, they are all new guns, there is nothing to pick and choose, Roque took one casually, Henry Matilda recorded the gun number, this gun belongs to Roque, Roque can even take the gun back to the dormitory, according to the regulations, each gun is equipped with 30 rounds, but this is not limited, Cape Town is the logistics base camp for attacking the Boers, the hoarding of bullets is simply not too much, Roque easily received 200 rounds of ammunition from the warehouse at one time.

It's too easy, but luckily Roque is not short of money for the time being, otherwise it would be a good business to resell bullets.

After getting the bullet, Roque immediately turned around and went to the training ground, although Roque was in good health, but it was obvious that the pistol was more lethal, and Roque had to familiarize himself with his weapon in the shortest possible time.

呯 - 呯 - 呯 -

Roque's shooting speed is not fast, and while ensuring as much accuracy as possible, Roque has to feel the recoil of the pistol with his heart.

For the average person, the recoil of the Webley revolver may be too great, but for Roque, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, this level of recoil is acceptable, although it is the first time he has come into contact with the Webley revolver, but Roque's talent is good, and the ten-meter target can quickly hit more than eight rings.

Yes, it is a ten-meter target, for a pistol, there is no point in pursuing range, most of the occasions when using a pistol are close encounters or indoors, to ensure the speed of the gun and the accuracy of the first shot is more meaningful, in this regard, Roque is very experienced, in the past in the Huayong Battalion, Roque's shooting results are excellent.

Of course, there is nothing to boast about, most of Hua Yong's shooting results are excellent, and the British officer praised Hua Yong for being a sharpshooter with every shot, which is a rare compliment.
