Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 100 Unreasonable

Strictly speaking, the Second Boer War was a war between Britain and the whole of Europe. In order to bring down the British Empire, those European countries donated money and materials to the Boer coalition forces, and even sent troops directly. During the entire Boer war, the Boer coalition forces, A total of [-] foreign volunteers have joined. Whether these volunteers are "volunteers" or not, no one knows except themselves.

Germany was the most eager in this regard. In 1871, Germany was unified and the German Empire was established. In that year, Germany defeated France, won the Franco-Prussian War, and replaced France as the hegemon of the European continent.

At this time, only the British Empire remained in front of the German Empire.

The Second Boer War was an important opportunity for Germany to consume Britain's strength. Therefore, Germany's performance in the Second Boer War was very biased. Rock believes that Emily Hobhouse should also know this .

Although Emily Hobhouse wants to gain more freedom, in Oak Town, Rock has the greatest authority, so Emily Hobhouse can only obey Rock's decision.

That's enough, even if compared with two months ago, the refugee camp has made great progress, but in the eyes of Emily Hobhouse, the refugee camp is useless, almost like hell, just started to contact the refugee camp On her first day, Emily Hobhouse picked out countless bugs.

"Women and children have too little food every day to ensure that they are adequately nourished, and the supply of food should be increased." Emily Hobhouse focused first on food.

"The supply standard of things is determined by the Governor's Office. I have no right to make decisions. If you have any opinions, you can report them to the Governor's Office. But I want to remind you, Ma'am, that there are still many people in the UK who are undernourished." Rock Yizheng Words, since you are embracing the thighs of the British, you should hold them tighter and consider the issue from the perspective of the government.

"The tents are small and shabby, and winter is coming, and they'll freeze to death in those tents." Emily Hobhouse's second problem was the tent.

"The refugee camp accepts donations. Those military tents were personally donated by Ms. Cape from Cape Town. If you are sorry, we also welcome donations from the Anglican Church. Sorry, this is a refugee camp, not a hotel. We cannot provide butler service. "Rock also wants all women and children to live in tents, but that's unrealistic. Ada has tried her best to collect tents, but it's still not enough.

"And what about the women who work in the vineyards? I hear they are hired by you and have to be separated from their children in order to get that job." Emily Hobhouse turned the blame on To Rock.

"Yes, they work for me, I pay them a salary, and provide their children with education opportunities, isn't that right?" Rock is not surprised, even if Rock does better, some people will still be dissatisfied .

The same thing, from different perspectives, will give different answers. What Emily Hobhouse thinks is unfair is obviously not the case in the eyes of the Boers in the refugee camp.

"But the salary you pay is not enough to repay them for their labor." Emily Hobhouse continued to find fault.

"Ms. Hobhouse, it may seem that way to you, but they obviously don't think so, otherwise they would not have taken the job at all, it is an equal exchange, work, equals salary and children's education How much do you think the opportunity for children to receive education is worth?" Rock did not think this was an unequal exchange.

"Okay, so what about those people in the quarantine area? What mistakes did they make?" Emily Hobhouse had a lot of questions, and asked Rock face to face, it was just Emily Hobhouse's personal venting, Later, Emily Hobhouse will write all this into a report, and that is the final blow that Emily Hobhouse is preparing.

"People in the quarantine area? No, no, no, they didn't make a mistake. The reason why they were quarantined was to prevent diseases. The refugee camps are densely populated. If you don't pay attention to hygiene, it will cause rampant diseases, and it will be a bigger disaster. "Rock's reasons are strong enough to stand up to any investigation.

"Prevention of disease? Thank you for finding such a good reason, then why did you confiscate their belongings, would that also cause disease?" Emily Hobhouse did not give up, Rock knew the meaning of isolation, and Ai Millie Hobhouse didn't know.

"It's not confiscated, it's just kept on behalf of them. Their clothes will be returned to them after being disinfected. As for property, they don't have the ability to protect it now. When they leave the refugee camp, it will naturally be returned to them." Rock patiently explained that Emily Hobhouse had a church background, and Rock had to be patient.

"It's just your excuse, you policemen are here to search for property! It's disgusting, why don't you just admit it?" Emily Hobhouse thought she had grabbed Rock's sore foot, clutching this Don't let go.

"So you mean they shouldn't be quarantined? Then who will be responsible if it causes a disease outbreak?" Rock also started to get angry.

"Of course you are in charge, you are the managers of the refugee camp." Emily Hobhouse was confident.

"Then that is to say, if your suggestion leads to serious consequences, you won't be responsible for it, right?" Rock was blunt. He didn't have much patience for messing around, even if he offended the church for it. It doesn't matter, the Anglican Church is the Anglican Church, and it is powerful in the UK, but it is not in Cape Town. Protestantism is more popular in Cape Town, and the influence of the Anglican Church is slightly weaker.

"That's just a hypothesis after all, you can't hold someone else responsible for something that hasn't happened yet." Emily Hobhouse disagrees with Rock's standards.

"Sorry, Ms. Hobhouse, please restrain your behavior. If I think your behavior affects the normal operation of the refugee camp, then you must leave here." Rock no longer talked to Emily Hobhouse Nonsense, this man is totally unreasonable.

It's really unreasonable. Now Rock finally understands why Henry said that Emily Hobhouse is "not easy to mess with". This woman is here to find fault, and the refugee camp itself has many problems that cannot be solved at all, so I want to find a reason There are many, if Emily Hobhouse does not affect Rock's work, then Rock can bear it. Now Emily Hobhouse's investigation has obviously affected the normal operation of the refugee camp. Ke couldn't stand this happening.
