Immediately after the agreement was reached, Churchill sent back a large report that had already been written, and through the Morning Post, he attributed all the glory of this legendary rescue operation to himself, causing a huge sensation throughout Britain.

His writing is very good, describing the twists and turns of the originally thrilling action, and the suspense is repeated.

According to reports;

Out of a high sense of responsibility and a sense of sacred mission to the British Empire, Mr. Churchill relied on careful planning in advance, turned the tide at the critical moment, and finally saved the safety of more than 60 British prisoners and more than 50 Humen soldiers, achieving a classic and legendary event.

Of course, in the process

The ...... of Sancho Panza's performance Well, Major Li Jianyang also performed well, and it was remarkable under Churchill's command, but this was only a trivial icing on the cake, completely hidden under Churchill's dazzling aura......

In the rescue operation

The British captives were in the front, and the Chinese were in the rear, and because of the huge rocks, the British captives were rescued almost in a daze, and they did not participate in the dangerous and fierce battles behind the rocks from beginning to end.

Therefore, if you get rid of the leader of the Humen mercenaries, you will get everything.

Half a month later

When the cabinet appointment of Lord Roberts as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army entered the public discussion in Parliament, the news could no longer be concealed, and many people in the upper class knew about it, including Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener, although they both knew about it half a month ago.

As a thank you to the Duke of Marlboro's family for their invaluable help in this process, the purchase of the Farmer's Gold Mine was quickly finalised, with the Cape Government asking for £4.6 million, almost half the previous price.

Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener were bright-eyed;

The two of them knew that they would not give enough benefits to the Duke of Marlboro's family, and they didn't know how great their ability to help was, but the ability to do bad things was definitely first-class, and no one wanted to be promoted before this worst situation happened.

The Cape Government agreed;

6,500 Humen mercenaries bought shares at a price of 3.5 million pounds in employment contracts, and the Viscount family of Humen contributed an additional 1.1 million pounds to occupy a 25% stake in the Farmer Gold Mine (the total of 3.5 million pounds also has a stake in the Viscount Humen family), the Myers family from Sri Lanka, and the Carter family from India contributed a number of shares to improve the mining equipment and recruit miners, with a total of 20% of the interest, and 6,500 Humen mercenaries shared the remaining interests.

Needless to say, the Myers family, a British merchant in Sri Lanka, and the Carter family in India, are the white gloves of a top British ducal family, and they have no connection with them at all.

But everyone in London's high society knows what's going on, and everyone does it this way, tacitly.

Mr. Churchill's ambition was to enter politics, and he had to be innocent, and he had to look as cute and delicious as a white radish, without a trace of ink.

The Duke of Marbara's family also can't be contaminated with private interests, once it breaks out, it will be a huge scandal, and the upper class will avoid it.

"Cheers to our successful collaboration, dear Sir Lee."

"Cheers, my friend."

The champagne glasses slammed together, and Churchill and Li Jianyang each took a sip with a red face, and the great success made them refreshed and high-spirited.

Churchill is about to leave South Africa and return to London, and he wants to take advantage of the hot iron to fully expose himself, use the legendary experience to win huge prestige for himself, and take over his father's constituency by the way, and the first step is to run for Parliament.

Li Jianyang has also fully proved himself, and has won a stable and huge wealth for his family, with an annual income of 300,000 pounds, so he is about to leave here and return to Humen City, where the family runs the old nest.

After suffering 14 casualties, the Humen mercenary team also began to fish, trying not to engage in a head-to-head confrontation with the Boer guerrillas, and the two sides tacitly launched a guerrilla chase, which began to consume time.

"Churchill, will you leave Pretoria with Lord Roberts? I heard that he was leaving recently. ”

"No, Lord Roberts may not want me to share his highlights, so I will return to London before him to expose a wave of excitement in advance, and when Lord Commander returns, I will do an exclusive interview for him as a reporter to share the glory moment." Churchill replied beamingly.

Li Jianyang was a participant and insider of a major secret, and if the secret he held was revealed, it could ruin Churchill's political career.

Therefore, Churchill did not need to hide from him, of course, there was also a sense of showing off and warning.

Smart people can't see through it, Li Jianyang just rightly expressed his respect; "If all goes well, you will become the youngest member of Parliament and will go down in history forever, and I congratulate you in advance, Your Excellency Sir Churchill."

"Hahaha...... Answer in the Chinese I have learned in the past two days. ”

"Dear Sir Churchill, I have a personal uninvited feeling, I wonder if I should say it?"

"Just say man, I'm optimistic about you."

"That's the case, according to the ancient tradition of the East, if the ambition is the same, the two sides are blood alliance and become brothers of the opposite sex, in the future, they will treat each other with all sincerity, and if one person is in trouble, they will do their best to save him, so ......"

Before Li Jianyang's words were finished, Churchill completely understood, and he hesitated and said; "Lee, we said good Sancho Panza......"

His meaning is clear;

You were originally my squire, but now you want to be my brother, like Robin Hood's brother, isn't it a little too strict!

"Look, you don't have the right to make me an island governor, it's just a pie in the air." Li Jianyang didn't care about exposing his ghost tricks, now that the main benefits are in hand, you really think you are Don Quixote!

Yes...... Bah......

Lao Tzu is the dignified heir to the Viscount of Humen, when did he become your servant of a British commoner?

Do you know what a joke is?

If you tell me a joke, then what I tell you is a joke, and if you do work for an island governor, I don't mind recognizing you as the Lord.

Let's all play realistic, bragging doesn't count!

Li Jianyang said casually; "Don't forget Churchill, I saved your life."

"No...... I saved your life. Churchill's expression suddenly became serious, and he would never allow jokes to be made about it, even if it was false, it would become true.

Li Jianyang understood his concerns, and then his expression became serious, and he put a hand to his heart and swore an oath; "Please forgive me for my slip of the tongue, thank you for saving my life, I swear in the honor of a noble knight, such a great kindness will be remembered for life, please God witness."

"Alright, dear Lee, I believe in you." Churchill's expression softened suddenly, and he thought for a moment and said; "Okay, you just talked about brothers of the opposite sex, so what are we going to do?"

"It's very simple, blood is an alliance, and from now on, you and my brother's family, your wife is my sister-in-law, and my wife is your brother and sister."

"Oh, that'll do."

A moment later

Churchill, who was fooled, saw the blood on his fingers dripping into the whiskey glass and merging with Li Jianyang's blood, his face couldn't help but become solemn, and he felt that this mysterious ritual didn't seem to be so simple.

Then, the two knelt side by side, burned incense and prayed to the Buddhas and God in the sky, not to live together, but to die together, Li Jianyang said a lot.

Churchill's face turned green when he heard this, his faith was a staunch Protestant, and he was by no means an atheist, so he had always been respectful of such things and did not dare to mess around.

"Brother Churchill, just follow me along.

If this oath is violated;

They will be thundered by the heavens, and they will not be buried in the graves of their ancestors after death, and they will be rejected by God, and they will fall into the abyss of hell forever, and their souls will be tormented by demons for thousands of years, and they will not be able to ...... death."

Frightened, Churchill did not know how he had completed this mysterious oriental ritual, and felt as if he had lost his soul, but he was numb to do it.

It wasn't until the ceremony was completed that Li Jianyang hugged him and affectionately shouted "Brother Churchill", and Churchill came back to his senses and shouted; "Brother......

"Hey......"

Li Jianyang replied simply and happily, poor Churchill wants to cry without tears at this time!

Knowing this, he would not agree to worship his brother in a word.

In today's world

In European higher education, theological education and research account for half of the curriculum, and the rest are mathematics, physics and chemistry, astronomy, geography, as well as culture and art and European history.

Just listening to these vows makes people's legs and stomachs weak; "What's that...... If you break this oath, you will be rejected by God and will be thrown into the abyss of hell forever, and your soul will be tormented by demons for thousands of years, and you will not be able to ...... death."

You listen, you listen, what does that mean for a devout Protestant?

"Brother Xian, our brothers must get along well in the future, we must not be red-faced, we have to discuss everything."

"I listen to Big Brother Churchill, what do you say I do."

"That's not necessary, if you have any good ideas, you can also put forward good ideas, and everyone will discuss them."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"That...... You said that the temporary foothold of the Humen Cavalry Brigade is good, this hotel was originally the property of the Boers, because it was confiscated by the government to fund the rebels, I helped you take it down, this is the approval issued by Johannesburg, the total price is 12,700 pounds, it turns out that I am ready to take a 20% kickback, since we are brothers, then don't want it. ”

"Thank you, eldest brother, the younger brother prepared 3,000 pounds of Cheng Yi for the eldest brother, this is an oriental custom, please smile."

"Uh...... And this kind of good thing? ”

"Of course, if you don't take it, you look down on your brother."

"Hey, hey, hey...... Affordable, affordable. Churchill laughed toothlessly, and agreed in quick succession.

It turns out that worshipping brothers of the opposite sex is not only a bad thing, but also a good thing, why didn't you say it earlier?
