In fact, when Angel bravely stood in front of the gun, several hotel security guards with weapons had already surrounded her.

The guests of the Rhodesia Hotel, most of them are either rich or expensive, and they have seen a lot of big scenes, and when the fight just started, there were few people who panicked, holding their heads and running away or something, most of them took the initiative to stand far away, and let the two groups of people start the fight, and a few people who saw the excitement were not too big to help move things and clear the field.

Even after the gunshots rang out, the order in the bar was not much chaotic, and the onlookers who ate melons were a little farther away, and their bodies were a little reluctant to squat slightly, because they squatted too low to see the situation in the field.

So the two groups of people who are facing each other stand out.

As a commander with a deep background, no one dared to expose Anqi to danger, just when the guy with the gun had just turned the muzzle of the gun to aim at Anqi, several officers rushed to stop in front of Anqi at the same time, scrambling as if they were fighting for meat buns, they didn't care that the muzzle of the gun was still smoking, and the person with the gun was still emotionally unstable.

From the perspective of a bystander, this is really a very united collective, fighting for the sake of comrades-in-arms, officers dare to come forward, subordinates do not hesitate to die, many people who do not know about the southern African troops immediately understand why the southern African army can beat the Germans to the ground.

Before the officers could speak, there was sporadic applause.

This is certainly not sarcasm.

"Put down your guns and don't resist!"

"Put the gun down, or we'll shoot you red-"

Several of the surrounding security guards were carrying guns, and they were the kind of shotguns that were very powerful at close range, and in this kind of indoor environment with a distance of only ten meters, the bullets shot out were like a sieve, and they would directly turn into honeycomb coal when they hit the body.

There is no need to rescue at all, and it cannot be saved.

"Don't push me—get out of the way—don't come near me—" The guy with the gun was visibly panicked, his hand shaking violently, the muzzle of the gun dangling over several security guards, and he was in danger of an emotional breakdown at any moment.

In the brawl just now, the guy with the gun suffered a lot of losses, and he was also in a hurry to pull out the gun.

As time passed, the blood finally ran down his forehead, as if it had caused some damage to his eyes.

The guy with the gun shouted as he raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

Then one of the officers under Anqi directly grabbed the hand holding the gun, the kind of grip where two hands tightly wrapped one hand.

The guy with the gun panicked and struggled hard only to find that the other party's hand was as stable as an iron tong, and he couldn't break free at all.

Then the guy with the gun subconsciously pulled the trigger, and the trigger was indeed pulled, but the revolver was to be fired, and the hammer had a process of firing backwards and then forwards, but the thumb of the officer under Angel firmly pressed the hammer, and the guy with the gun pulled it twice without pulling it, and then tried to use it hard, and was punched in the back of the head.

These guys are really ruthless, the local garrison officers who just got up from the ground are unbelievable, how can you say that everyone is also robes, it is necessary to be so ruthless?

The guy with the gun was knocked unconscious by a punch, and the officer who grabbed the gun carefully took the gun away, then closed the safety and withdrew all the bullets before handing the gun to the bar security guard.

"Keep it, and when this gentleman wakes up, he may come back to you—" The officer said in a flirtatious tone as he handed the gun, but no one dared to laugh at him at this time.

Angel came forward to finish, and he didn't break much during the fight just now, but Angel and their consumption was relatively high, five or six people actually consumed 15 rands, and the high consumption of the Rhodesia Hotel really deserved its name.

Early the next morning, Colonel McMahon, the British Government's high commissioner in Cairo, sent a telegram to Roque, complaining that several officers of the 2nd Southern African Cavalry Division had wounded several officers of the Cairo garrison, one of whom was seriously wounded, and was not yet out of danger.

After Roque understood the situation, he learned that Angel, who has always been sunny and cheerful, had actually learned to fight with others, but the good news was that he did not lose, which made Roque and Anton very happy.

Anton, who has been the governor of Nyasaland since its inception, is 46 years old and in the prime of life.

Perennial in a high position, the current Anton appears in public, and he is also the poker face of Taishan who has collapsed in front of him.

In Roque's place, Anton is still relatively casual, knowing that Angel is fighting with people in Cairo, Anton still can't help but complain.

"Angel's marriage was actually set a long time ago, but Angel was not very satisfied with my arrangement, I still remember that Angel wanted to participate in the Russian-Turkish War when she just graduated, and there was a factor of avoiding marriage at that time. There was gloom in Anton's eyes, everyone else in their forties had already held their grandchildren, but Angel was still serving in British Somalia, and holding her grandson was far away.

British officers can bring their families with them when they serve abroad, so Anton hopes that Angel will take the time to come back to get married, and then take his wife to serve in British Somalia.

"It's a good thing for young people to have ideas, we old guys can't give them too many restrictions, their conditions are much better than we were at the beginning, of course, the environment is more sinister, our former enemies were Boers, now they are Germans, we can't talk about it and just fight it, the situation they face in the future will be more complicated, what we can do is to give them as much space as possible, to see if they can be like us, to create a miracle that belongs to southern Africa." When Roque was in Europe, he promised that if Anton put too much pressure on Angel in this regard, Roque would help Angel speak.

In this regard, in fact, Roque prefers to go with the flow, the previous marriageable age in southern Africa was 20 years old, and now it has been quietly revised to 18 years old, Angel is 28 years old this year, even according to the standards of southern Africa, it is an absolute late marriage, although Roque does not put pressure on Angel, but also hopes that Angel and Barton's generation can stabilize as soon as possible.

By the way, in another month, Barton will hold a wedding with his wife, Patton's fiancée is Douglas's daughter Hannah, this marriage has been decided before the outbreak of the world war, but because of the world war, Hannah has been waiting for Barton for five years, and Barton has to give someone an explanation.

"No matter how great a miracle is, someone must inherit it, and we can't all dedicate our lives to the work we can't finish like the prime minister." Anton is actually not in a hurry, although Angel is not married yet, but Angel's younger brother and sister are already married, and it is only a matter of time before she holds her grandson.

Angel's younger brother married the daughter of the speaker of the Nyasaland State Assembly, Xia Jiu, who was the veteran of the umbrella, and when the umbrella was established, Xia Jiu was the first general manager of the umbrella.

Later, the size of the umbrella grew, and Xia Jiu gradually broke away from the umbrella and came to Nyasaland to serve as the speaker of the state assembly.

This speaker was not appointed by Roque, but was elected through the normal election process, and no one could fault it.

Angel's sister is married to the daughter of Sam, the head of the Nyasaland company, who has a pivotal position under Roque and is a powerful alliance with Anton.

This is also unavoidable, as the power of southern Africa grows stronger, marriages between the upper classes are inevitable, and this is how the network of relationships is slowly formed, and over the generations, the elite class of southern Africa will form an unbreakable community, and anyone who wants to survive in southern Africa must follow the rules jointly formulated by this community.

Of course, now this community is still with Roque as the core, or the Matilda family as the core, Roque's children are slowly growing up, the eldest Arthur is 15 years old this year, and the little Marquis Gavin is also 13 years old, thanks to the strict discipline of Ida and Phyllis, Arthur and Gavin's academic performance is very good, Ida found a set of test papers for Arthur's entrance exam to the University of Nyasaland last year through special channels, and found that Arthur's results are fully qualified to enter the University of Nyasaland.

Arthur is to take care of Gavin, so he went to school with Gavin, but Ida has never relaxed on Arthur's education, Arthur's tutors have been more than five since he was a child, and now Arthur has the strength to enter the University of Nyasaland to study, but Arthur still has to wait for Gavin to grow up and then enter the University of Nyasaland to study together.

The relationship between the little brothers is also very good, although Ida and Phyllis try not to meet, but do not restrict the contact of the children, Phyllis will even take the initiative to take the Arthur brothers and sisters over to reunite with Roque, this aspect is indeed very Mrs. Nyasaland's style, no one can find fault.

It is conceivable that when Arthur and Gavin grow up, the people who want to marry Roque can be lined up from Cape Town to London, and it seems that Xiao Si has a better chance of having five daughters, and he publicly declared a long time ago that he can be left to Arthur and Gavin to choose.

But this "arbitrary selection" was unanimously opposed by Roque and Phyllis and Ida, Roque did not resist marrying Xiao Si, but it must be on the premise that the children are in love, Xiao Si is sometimes too utilitarian, and will do whatever it takes to maintain the family status, in this regard, Xiao Si is really similar to his father Cecil Rhodes Sr.

Now Roque is not in a hurry, if there is no accident, Gavin will definitely inherit Roque's title in the future and become the second Marquis of Nyasaland, Alvin has been canonized as a Baron of the North Sea by George V, and Arthur has been canonized as a Baron of Cyprus, these titles can be inherited, so it will not take many years for the "Locke" family to become the first family in Southern Africa.

ps: Say I don't dare to stir up trouble, but let's have a snack, let's see what the chapter name of the previous chapter is-
