Chapter 17: Dazzling

In five successive vicious attacks on the patrol, Roque was the only survivor except for the fleeing Kunal, and Roque was summoned by August Russell.

August Russell was the top officer in the Cape Town Police Service, having served in the Navy and retired from the army and served in the Indian colonies.

"Locke, you're the only survivor, now you carefully recall the scene of the original attack and see if you can remember something?" August Russell has expectations for Roque, but this is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and Roque has been questioned many times since he woke up, but unfortunately, Roque has no memory of what happened before.

"I'm sorry Director, I don't have any memory of that attack, Dr. Jonathan Jackson helped me remember when I was in the hospital, but it didn't work." Roque told the truth, this kind of thing can't be made up out of thin air.

August Russell had no choice but to spread his hands, Roque was the only survivor, but Roque couldn't provide any help, the murderers hid in the city, waiting for the opportunity to launch the next attack, I don't know who they were, I don't know how many of them were, for a city with a population of more than 100,000 people, finding them is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Compared to previous attacks, this time the situation is more serious, the two patrol officers who died have just been given guns, and now the guns have also been snatched, which means that those people have more firepower." Austin Pence was also summoned, and the importance that August Russell attached to the attack was evident.

"A bunch of stupid people who even got their guns snatched away, so what's next? Waiting for them to attack the police station with arms? August Russell was furious, but this temper was unreasonable, and the local regular army also suffered heavy losses at Ladysmith, even the cannon was lost, if the police were stupid, then what was the local regular army?

"The patrol force is too dispersed, and although the patrol officers are armed with pistols, they are not fully familiar with the weapons, so we need time." Austin Pence also didn't have much confidence, in fact, everyone knew the crux of the problem, the rout at the front was the root cause, if the front line played a triumphant song, then even if the Boers in Cape Town were given ten guts, they would not dare to create chaos in Cape Town.

"Very good, how much time do you need? Three days? Five days? Or a week? "August Russell is pressing closely, and the law and order situation in Cape Town has been brought to the attention of the Governor's Office, and if the situation does not improve, then Auguste Russell is in trouble.

"I think it will take at least a month or two—" Austin Pence was not sure, a month or two was only an approximation, and looking at the recent build-up of troops, it was estimated that in a month or two Cape Town would be able to gather an army of 100,000 troops, and then the Boers would naturally die down.

"I don't have a month or two to give you, ten days, I'll only give you ten days, within ten days, you have to give me a result, otherwise you will go and guard the warehouse for me!" August Russell set a deadline and slapped the table to kick Austin Pence out of the office.

Oh, and Roque was kicked out at the same time.

At the door of the office, Austin Pence glared at Roque fiercely, as if he was ready to vent his anger on Roque.

Roquedo was clever and immediately shifted his gaze: "Sir, I found some problems, all five attacks took place in the Old City, and if we connect the five cases, we will find that Tuis is the center, so we have reason to believe that the Boers of Tuis are the makers of these cases, and now what we lack is intelligence, so we have to put out enough eyeline to find the target, and then gather a commando team to kill them." ”

Austin Pence's expression was even more fierce, and he was a little hideous and whispered to Roque: "Damn it, why didn't you say it just now?" ”

Just said?

Didn't what you just said seem to be more incompetent as an inspector?

Now that there is a way, Austin Pence can implement it himself, or he can go to the director to ask for credit, if Roque says this, then Roque will not get anything, and he will be put in small shoes by Austin Pence when he turns around, Roque is not stupid.

Austin Pence is not stupid, seeing Roque's eyes glancing at the door number of the director's office, Austin Pence immediately came back to his senses, hurriedly threw down the sentence "Go to my office and wait for me", and turned around and knocked on the door again.

Then go to Austin Pence's office and wait, Bilbohm poured Roque a cup of coffee, Roque solemnly thanked him, this is the benefit of naturalization, the last time Roque came to Austin Pence's office, he didn't even have a seat.

More than half an hour later, Austin Pence returned, and Roque did not sit down, but kept an upright posture, which made Austin Pence very satisfied.

"What do you think of the commando?" As soon as Austin Pence returned to the office, he asked Bilbohm to bring everyone's files, apparently with authorization.

"Powerful firepower, skilled personal combat skills, able to dispatch quickly, fighting without fear of death, to be honest, there are not many people who meet the standards." Roque didn't know anything about the commandos and could only fool Austin Pence with the example of the SWAT unit.

"That's right, there are not many people who meet the standards, it is better to have military experience, combat experience, if you look at it this way - it seems that there are many people who meet the standards!" Austin Pence already has a case in mind, and the answer is almost imminent, those Chinese police officers from the Huayong Battalion are all in line with the standards of the commando: "Bilbohm, go and call Henry." ”

Roque also thought that Austin Pence would consider himself a commando leader, but it was obvious that Roque was thinking too much, and Austin Pence did not trust Roque enough.

Henry Matilda's office is right next to Austin Pence's office, and in the blink of an eye, Henry appears in Austin's office.

"The bureau has decided to set up a commando team to deal with those Boer insurgents, Henry, I now appoint you as the leader of the commando, you are responsible for forming the commando team, and I will give you a week to find them." Austin Pence announced the appointment on the spot, and of course it was indispensable to Roque: "Meet your vice-captain Henry, don't be surprised, it's Locke, do a good job, if you have any requirements, the bureau will provide support as much as possible." ”

This, this is the vice-captain?

I don't know what the benefits of the vice-captain are, at least he should raise his salary by one level, if it is a sergeant level, then he can get ten pounds a month, which is simply a step to the sky.

Roque was still not calm enough, and was actually dazzled by ten pounds.
