Chapter 51: Tree Typical

In fact, about arrogance, this is not a problem for Winston alone, just like Roque envied Henry for having a strong motherland, with the most powerful motherland in the world, the British have enough reasons to be arrogant, and the Qing officials were still very arrogant before the Opium War, but now they have become the laughing stock of the whole world.

Winston is undoubtedly a smart man, he was born into a noble family that was gradually declining, his father did not have the right to inherit the title, and Winston had to work his own, so Winston understood a long time ago that if the opportunity arose, then it must be seized.

After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Sir Hemsworth, the owner of the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror, first sent an invitation to Winston, hoping that Winston could work for the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror, but Winston turned around and told the editor of the Morning Post, Bosvik, so Winston received a high salary of £250 a month from the Morning Post.

Sir Hemsworth's price for Winston was not so high.

Not to mention Winston's military talent, as a reporter with the army, Winston's observation is still very good, although Winston has a bad impression of the Qing Kingdom, but Winston also knows that not all Chinese are not good, it is obvious that Roque does not match Winston's impression of the Qing Chinese.

Qing people can't say such philosophical words.

"Locke, you grew up in England?" Winston himself made up for Roque's brain.

"No, I grew up in the Qing Kingdom, I used to serve in the Huayong Battalion, and now I am a police officer in Cape Town, how about it, this experience is quite rich." Roque also didn't know if there were any Chinese in Britain these days.

Thinking about it, there should be Chinese in the Cape, and there should be in the United Kingdom, but there are no achievements, so they have not left their names in history.

"It's okay, but it's certainly not as rich as I am, I've been to Cuba and India, I've been a military correspondent, and this is the first time I've picked up a gun, but I've been captured by the damned Boers." Now Winston is not the fat old man who gestures the V everywhere, he will be depressed when he should be depressed, and he will be sad when he should be sad.

"Don't be like this, Winston, you've done well enough, trust me, you're going to be a legend because of your good work." Roque is really not a spoiler, Winston will become famous when he returns to the UK, and then he was successfully elected to parliament and entered parliament to start his political career, and the 26-year-old parliamentarian is legendary enough.

By that time, no one would have laughed at him for being a premature child, and people would have called him "the great eager young man", a title that had belonged to his father.

Well, Winston's father was 24 years old when he became a councilor.

"Hopefully that's the case, I'll write down everything I've been through, and tell people how abominable the damn Boers are, and of course, there's got to be a part of it, Henry." Winston's last words were addressed to Henry, and although Roark sent Winston back, it was clear that it didn't carry enough weight.

"Wow, so I'm going to be in the paper?" Henry's performance was in line with Winston's expectations.

"Yes, you're going to be a celebrity, get ready, the War Department may bring you back with a nice position." Winston has a strong sense of self-confidence in his familiar field, a quality shared by all big names.

"Don't forget Locke, we're good partners, and we have to be in the newspaper together." Fortunately, Henry didn't forget about Roque.

"Don't, just write about Henry, two people are definitely not as influential as one person." Roque didn't want to be in the newspaper, although that would also bring benefits to Roque, but the influence caused by two people going to the newspaper together was definitely not as great as one person's monopoly.

That's why it's important to "tree typical".

"That's right, but don't worry Locke, your Chinese background is also very special, there will be people who will be interested, and for those readers, you have a lot more potential news points than Henry." Winston is an expert in journalism, and certainly knows how to attract attention.

Don't think that only the Chinese will "educate the king", the British will do the same, the news point of Roque is that he came from the mysterious and backward Qing Dynasty, but he established meritorious deeds under the British, which fully shows that the British colonization of the world is the king, even if it is a "backward and ignorant" Chinese, after accepting the transformation of the British, they can also become a part of the civilized world.

"Really? Can I get in the newspaper too? Roque endured his discomfort and behaved in line with Winston's expectations.

"Yes, I'll focus on describing how you prevented an impending serious violent attack." Winston's confidence now rivals that of Shakespeare, certainly relative to Henry and Roque.

Well, it doesn't matter if that's true or not, that's what Winston thinks.

After a drink that lasted until the afternoon, Winston was sent back to his hotel room, and Henry and Roque went to Mill Street together.

"It's a famous murderous house, and if you stay there at night, won't you worry about ghosts and ghosts?" Henry is curious about Roque's home.

"It's a bit of a thing, so now I'm still living in a dormitory — well, I've hired a Boer family, let's see." Roque found a suitable reason for the existence of the Zach family, and if there really was a ghost, then they would not let the Zach family go.

"Clever way!" Henry reaffirms that Roque is indeed a smart man.

Well, when you think about it this way, you should also be smart people when dealing with smart people.

Henry immediately felt that his IQ had gone up a notch.

In the general public's impression, when it comes to murderous houses, people associate them with dilapidated houses, eerie atmospheres, and ubiquitous ghosts.

Roque's home didn't give Henry that feeling.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Henry was stunned by the impression of the "murderous house".

The neat lawn, the beautiful fountain, the beautiful sculptures, the clean servants, the big dog with the wagging tail, and the house made of white marble—

Is this a murderous house?

The manor where the governor lives is of this grade.

"Thank you, Zach." Roque greeted Zach at the fence gate, touched the big man's head, and stepped onto the path made of irregular bluestone slabs.

"Looks good, Locke, are you sure you bought this house for £100?" Henry felt that he was missing out on a large sum of money, and before Roarke bought the house, Henry had also heard of the "murderous mansion", but Henry had never been there and had no interest in learning about the "murderous mansion" at all.

Now it looks like Roque's £100 is worth it!
