"—It was raining at that time, and it was Rock who found the smoker. I wanted to attack directly, but Rock told me that we were going to fight a beautiful annihilation-" Henry was splashing in front of the bar, surrounded by a large number of senior officers. The Major General was Marcy Meredith, a senior staff officer of the Expeditionary Force Command. The oldest colonel was Marcos Lloyd, the commander of the Royal Canadian regiment. They had prominent maple leaf marks on their hats. The officer with the lowest rank was also a major. It was probably the bar with the highest density of Kimberley officers.

"Sir to the Queen!"

"Since Henry!"

"Keep Rock!"

The atmosphere of the officers was high. Whenever there were wonderful moments, the officers would raise their glasses to celebrate. Henry and Rock also had free champagne and Major General Massi treated him.

"—When it comes to combat, Locke is definitely a good player. He used explosives to drive the Boers from the house to the wilderness and to the heavy machine gun position I commanded. All I had to do was command the heavy machine gun to kill them. Unexpectedly, Lian Rubell killed them together-" Henry was loyal enough and did not take the credit on himself. Locke got more and more "respect Locke".

"It's very interesting. You used explosive packs." Major General Masi was very insightful and grasped the key points.

"Yes, explosives, we don't have artillery, and even when we arrived at Dordrecht, there was no Dam's bullet-" Henry would cry when he should be poor.

"Shhh--Attention to your words, inspector, we didn't have Dam's move." Major General Masi's pretending to behave caused everyone to burst into laughter.

This is how the British people are, they are both skilled in playing double standards.

"I mean the Boer's Dam, we seized a lot-" Henry widened his eyes and pretended to be innocent, and the officers burst into laughter again.

"It's really unbelievable that the one who shot Ruber was actually a group of policemen. You are all qualified to receive the medal." Major General Masi had a high emotional intelligence, otherwise he would not have been in a high position.

High emotional intelligence is a common feature of big people. Being able to hold a high position does not necessarily require a noble birth. For example, Alfred Milner, who is not even a baron now, but that does not prevent Alfred Milner from becoming the governor of the Cape Colonial.

"Locke, are you really from the Qing Dynasty?" Unlike Major General Massi, Marcos Lloyd was more interested in Rocke.

"Yes, Mr. Colonel, I served in Huayong Camp before, and came to Cape at the end of last year and have now become a naturalized person." Rock did not avoid his origin.

"Oh, then you are no longer a Qing Dynasty, you are a Cape, a citizen of the British Empire." Marcos did not discriminate against Rock's origin, or Marcos concealed it better.

The Cape colonies have not yet obtained autonomy, so strictly speaking, the Cape people are all British. It is not until the Cape colonies are autonomous that the Cape colonies gradually move away from Britain.

"Oh, I know Huayong Camp, a unit composed of Qing people."

"It turns out that I used to serve in Huayong Camp, that's right."

"Is Huayong Camp so powerful?"

The officers were talking a lot, and some people didn't understand the background of Huayong Camp, so there was a lot of science immediately. When everyone looked at Luo Ke's eyes, they felt relieved after a sudden realization.

"The Qing people are different from the Chinese." Luo Ke couldn't bear it. It was absolutely wrong to confuse the Qing people with the Chinese. Although the Qing ruled the Chinese, the Qing country could never represent the Chinese: "The Chinese have five thousand years of civilization history, while the Qing country only had more than two hundred years of history. Before the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Empire was the last country established by the Chinese. If you gentlemen had some understanding of the Far East, you should have heard of the most powerful fleet in the world at that time."

In fact, Rock was a bit extreme. It was meaningless to say that these things cannot change the impression of Chinese people in the minds of these British officers. In the minds of these British officers, Rock was no longer the same as other Chinese. As Marcos said, Rock is now a British citizen.

"Calm down, no one denies the history of the Chinese, but that's just history, right?" Major General Maxi said sharply, and one sentence made Rock speechless.

Yes, no matter how glorious the history is, it is just history.

Even if the Ming Empire had the most powerful fleet in the world at that time, it had disappeared into the long river of history. The Chinese today are a nation conquered by aliens. No matter how strong Luo Ke's national self-esteem is, it cannot change this reality in the end.

"Yes, that's just history, but I firmly believe that the Chinese will definitely rise again." Rock knew that Major General Masi was right, but Rock couldn't accept it. Thirty years Hexi and Thirty years Hedong, let's see.

No, given Major General Masi's age, Major General Masi can no longer see the day when the Chinese rise again.

"Yes, from you, I see hope." Major General Masi did not deny that there was such a possibility. This was the euphemism. If the commando had not killed Ruber, Major General Masi would not have listened to Rock nonsense.

"Gentlemen, let us raise our cups to celebrate the victory together and respect the great British Empire." Major General Massi did not give Rock a chance to speak and proposed to raise our cups to celebrate together.

All the British people present responded with a loud response, and Rock raised his glass, well, a little astringent.

On his way back to the residence, Henry shared his harvest with Rock with great enthusiasm: "All the captives have bounties, and there are those we killed. Ruber is the most valuable. We got a total of 20,000 pounds. Add to the five thousand before, we now have 25,000 pounds. God, this is really a big sum. I have never seen how spectacular it is to pile up 25,000 pounds!"

"Where is your title? No?" Rock didn't care about how much money it was. The money could still be earned in the future. The most important thing now is the title, which is the amulet of Henry and Rock.

"Of course, but not now. After the war is over, the Expeditionary Force Command will report it uniformly. At that time, our names will definitely appear on the reported list. Note that it is us, not me, do you know? Your name may also be on it. You are now Cape native and are qualified to obtain a title." Henry endured until now that he told Rock the good news.

"Me? I may be awarded the title?" Luo Ke was surprised. This was a good thing that he had never thought about before.

"Of course it's possible. Do you think I'm lying to you?" Henry laughed, thinking Rock was so happy that he was stupid.

It is indeed possible that the Second Boer War is of great significance to Britain. In this war, the British not only mobilized troops from their homeland, but also from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and Ceylon. These colonial soldiers are of course qualified to obtain titles. The British now need to win over them with titles, and Rock has benefited from it.
