No one would have imagined that Roque's counterattack would be so sharp.

The Duke of Marlborough's heirs and newspaper tycoons conspired to encroach on a nobleman of military merit in an attempt to seize the property of the nobleman, and although the two reporters who Roque handed over to the police station died mysteriously at the police station that night, the news spread throughout London in just one day, and public opinion immediately became in an uproar.

The British people's enthusiasm for gossip can be seen from the sales of the "Sun", what royal secrets, aristocratic grievances, the little under the three inches of the official's navel, and the things that catch the wind and shadows have been rumored to have noses and eyes, not to mention that this kind of picture and truth, it has stimulated the creative desire of the whole society overnight, and for a time all kinds of tabloids are flying all over the sky, gossip is everywhere, and even those romantic things when King Edward VII was young have been taken out and revisited I don't know how many times.

William and Alfred Harmsworth were immediately unlucky, and the current Duke of Marlborough, when he found out about it, immediately sent William to India to work, and Alfred Harmsworth-

This name is too awkward, he actually has a name called Lord Beiyan, this lord is different from Lord Roque, Roque's baron is a military meritorious title, the kind that is famous and advantageous, and the "Lord" of Beiyan is just a title, not even a fief, and his status is much lower.

The aristocratic system is very particular about the superiority and humility, the low-level nobles must remain humble in front of the high-level nobles, and the military nobles have a higher status than other nobles, even if they are also barons, the military nobles like Roque must be in front of other nobles within the aristocratic system, not to mention the commercial nobles like Lord Beiyan, which is simply not worth mentioning.

If the heir of the Duke of Marlborough wants to seize Roque's property, and the whole society can tolerate it, then Lord North Rock's offense to Roque is unacceptable.

It is said that Lord Northern Rock himself did not know about this, and as soon as the rumors appeared, Lord Northern Rock went to Roque's house to ask to see Roque, hoping to explain it to Roque in person.

It's a pity that Lord North Rock didn't get his wish, and Roque has now gone to Sandhurst Royal Military Academy to start his study career, and he is not at home at all.

In fact, Philip is right, in the military aspect, there is really no one who is qualified to teach Roque.

As a baron, Roque is also a powerful general, the kind who wields military power.

The instructors in the military academy, many of them don't even have the experience of actually serving in the army, and Roque's actual combat cases have been written into the military school textbooks, so the instructors are very modest in front of Roque, and Victor Foster even invited Roque to give a speech to all the officers.

"General, I'm a student, it's not appropriate to do this." Roque didn't want to go, he came to Sandhurst Royal Military Academy to avoid the limelight, not to be in the limelight.

"Locke, you are also a general, you have the obligation to set a goal for your juniors, the cases that can be written into the textbook are legends, you are a living legend, through the war to complete the transformation of the police to soldiers and nobles, what could be more inspirational than this?" Victor Foster insisted that he didn't know that the recent big melon in London was related to Roque, and he simply wanted to use Roque's success to inspire students to be angry.

Compared with the navy, the British Army is raised by the mother, and it is indeed to be angry and strong.

It's a pity that Britain's situation determines the basic national policy, and the importance of the army is definitely lower than that of the navy, which can be seen from the annual military spending, and the army's military expenditure is less than one-tenth of the navy's military spending, which is simply pitiful.

"General, you've won the prize." Roque couldn't cry or laugh, forget about the living legend or something, Roque is not yet 30 years old, and he doesn't want to get this kind of honorary title that only seventy or eighty years old should have.

"Not at all, I'm ready, tomorrow morning in the officers' auditorium, all the teachers and students of the whole school will participate, including me." Victor Foster could not refuse Roque, this is the goose plucking.

Roque had no choice but to accept Victor Foster's arrangement.

The Officers' Auditorium is the holy place of the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, which will only be opened a limited number of times a year, except for the graduation ceremony, only the king's enthronement will be used in the officers' auditorium, and the officer's auditorium is the wall of honor of the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, and the corridor outside the auditorium is full of portraits of celebrities who have studied at the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, and Victor Foster is also among them.

In the future, it is estimated that Roque will also be qualified to hang the portrait here.

Victor Foster was still very face-saving, invited Phyllis over, and arranged a special seat for Phyllis in the front row of the auditorium.

As a friend of Roque's, Winston also appeared in the auditorium, he was also a graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and he was not yet qualified to hang the portrait in the hallway, and in the future Winston would be one of the most prominent graduates of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.

Before Roque began his speech, Victor Foster personally introduced Roque to the whole school, and when Roque was introduced to Baron Nyasaland, there were sporadic boos in the corner of the auditorium.

As for what happened outside the school, it was clear that the cadets were also concerned.

Roque was a little reluctant before, but when he heard these boos, Roque's heart gradually swelled with fighting spirit.

The applause that welcomed Roque was not enthusiastic, and Roque was unmoved, striding to the podium in a gown with a general's badge.

When shaking hands with Victor Foster, Victor Foster whispered in Roque's ear: "Behave well, now this stage is yours." ”

Standing on the podium, Roque calmed down with the movement of adjusting the microphone, and then scanned the auditorium with proud eyes and began his speech.

"Five years ago, on February 14th, the commandos of the Cape Town Police Department also took the train to Dordrecht amid suspicion and boos, and most of the commandos at that time were Chinese, and there was even a woman, who is now my wife, Phyllis—" Roque looked at Phyllis with affectionate eyes, and Phyllis returned with a sweet smile.

"The war should let the women go away, and the police should not appear on the battlefield, the same ethnic group, the troops composed of Africans can only undertake reconnaissance missions in the expeditionary force, and many of them do not even have weapons, because they are considered simply unable to undertake relatively complex tasks, nor can they learn to use weapons, let alone relatively complex tactical movements and combat missions, and the commandos composed of Chinese are the only minority troops with weapons in the Boer War."

There was sporadic applause in the front row of the auditorium, boos were still heard in the corners, and instructors stood up and looked over with angry eyes.

Phyllis and Winston's applause was the most enthusiastic.

"Even the Boers thought that the commandos, which consisted entirely of ethnic Chinese, were vulnerable, so they set up an ambush on our way to Dordrecht and tried to eliminate us, and the result is now known that the commandos completely annihilated the guerrillas, and that was the first time in the Boer War that a guerrilla force was eliminated as an organization."

The applause gradually increased, and the soldiers still had to speak about their achievements after all, and without their achievements, it was useless to rely only on verbal boasting, and the textbook only wrote how the commandos attacked Joubel's guards, but did not write why the police of the Cape Town Police Department appeared in the territory of Orange.

"Upon arrival in Dordrecht, we were ordered to attack a Boer coalition position, several previous attacks by the expeditionary force had failed, hundreds of bodies of expeditionary officers and soldiers lay in front of the Boer coalition position, the support fire was insufficient, and the morale of the troops was low - at that time, our commando leader, now Lord Henri Matilda, Lord Favart, and the officer who gave the order argued that the police should not take on more tasks than they were capable of, but the officer who gave the order insisted that the police force was also very combative, Because the most powerful force in the Transvaal Republic is their police force, the officer who gave the order probably also thought that the police force in Cape Town should also be very combat-ready-"Roque's emotions were slowly accumulating, the commandos at that time were forced to fight, and that kind of resentment and grievance had not appeared for a long time, and Roque himself did not notice, and his breathing was getting worse.

At this time, there was no applause in the auditorium, and everyone could feel the situation of the commando team at that time from Roque's words.

The 450,000 expeditionary force, dealing with the Boers with a total population of less than 400,000, actually needed the police to attack the positions of the Boer coalition army, which was simply a shame for the expeditionary force and a shame for all the soldiers present.

"—It turns out that the commandos of the Cape Town Police Department are indeed very effective, and we killed 125 Boer Coalition troops and captured 89 Boer Coalition troops in that battle, and our own losses were only in the single digits, in fact, I think this battle is more worthy of being written into the textbook than the battle in which Zhubel was killed." Roque looked at Victor Foster with a playful look, and Victor Foster's expression was surprised, and he immediately asked the other general beside him.

The other general had an ugly expression and shook his head slightly at Victor Foster.

Presumably, they did not know that this battle had taken place in the Boer War.

Thinking about it, it is understandable that the police are involved in the battle, and it is this kind of battle, and the expeditionary force is probably embarrassed to write this matter into the battle report, so it is normal for the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy not to notice this battle.

The point is that this contrast is a bit stark, in the two Boer wars, there were many expeditionary forces with hundreds of casualties, and the losses of the Boers were in the single digits.

Now that the expeditionary force has finally made a huge disparity in casualty ratio, but it is the commandos of the Cape Town Police Department, it is impossible to report such a thing, and if it is reported, a large number of people will be unlucky.
