Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 101

After Emily Hobhouse and her party arrived in Oak Town, no matter what they did, Rock would arrange for police officers to accompany them, in name for protection, but actually for surveillance.

As a clergyman, Emily Hobhouse's performance was too outrageous. She talked with the families of the Boer coalition forces all night long, asked those members of the Boer coalition forces who surrendered their views on the refugee camp, and even went to the Oak Bar to experience Life, is this what a priest should do?

If it weren't for Henry's warning, Rock would have sent Emily Hobhouse and her party away long ago. This woman is like an ignorant little girl who has no idea that her behavior will bring trouble to Rock's work. what kind of trouble.

When Rock said that he would drive Emily Hobhouse and her party out of Oak Town, Emily Hobhouse finally realized the seriousness of the matter, but Emily Hobhouse did not intend to give in , in Emily Hobhouse's view, what she is doing is more important than Rock's work.

"Inspector Rock, if you really do that, then I will definitely report you to the Governor's Mansion." Emily Hobhouse still did not pay attention to Rock's threat.

"Whatever you want, don't act like a little girl who doesn't know how to do business, you should know what you are doing." Rock was very angry, so just complain, who is afraid of who.

In fact, Rock didn't know that Emily Hobhouse was really an uncommon businessman. Before the age of 35, Emily Hobhouse had been spending time in her father's Anglican priest parish. I don't know what the normal colonial order should be like.

It's a pity that Rock didn't have time to wait for Emily Hobhouse to grow up. That night, Emily Hobhouse and her party were sent back to Cape Town by Rock.

After returning to Cape Town, Rock first went to Mill Street to find Henry.

"Did you send Emily Hobhouse back?" Henry nodded his head, the previous reminder to Rock was in vain.

"Otherwise, what can I do? Play house with her in Oak Town?" Rock was mean, and it was unlucky to meet such a virgin.

"You——you—" Henry pointed at Rock's trembling fingers. You've been there for a long time, but you didn't come out with one, two, three.

"Emily Hobhouse is not a problem, you have to be careful with those two German priests with Emily Hobhouse." Rock is not worried about Emily Hobhouse, Amy No matter how ignorant Li Hobhouse is, she is also an Englishman, and she probably won't do things like pickpocketing. On the contrary, the two German pastors are more worthy of vigilance.

When he was in Oak Town, Rock noticed the two German pastors. Although Emily Hobhouse also had contact with members of the Boer coalition forces who surrendered, Emily Hobhouse also had contact with those Women and children can be regarded as comprehensive understanding of refugee camps.

The two German pastors are different. They are only interested in those members of the Boer coalition who surrendered. Although the police responsible for monitoring the two German pastors are Boers, among the members of the Boer coalition who surrendered, there are some who understand German. , so the German priest and the members of the Boer coalition are communicating in German.

After Rock knew this fact, he restricted the two German pastors, but their behavior had already had a very bad influence. According to the police responsible for guarding the Boer coalition forces, since the two German pastors and those who surrendered After the members of the Boer coalition came into contact, the emotions of those members of the Boer coalition began to be unstable.

"German pastor?" Henry's expression was surprised, it seemed that Henry didn't know the existence of German pastor.

"Yes, two German pastors, one is Hans, and the other seems to be Mark. You can tell that they are Germans by their names." Rock doesn't like Germany. The current Kaiser is Wilhelm II. This guy is "Yellow Peril" The originator of "On".

William II also had a lot to do with the Boer War. In 1896, the former Cape Colonial Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes sent Dr. Jansen, a senior employee of the South African Mining Company, to lead 500 South African company mercenaries and several machine guns in an attempt to Expedition to the Transvaal to overthrow the Paul Kruger regime in the Transvaal.

The result was tragic, 134 mercenaries were killed, and the rest, including Dr. Jansen, were all captured.

After this incident broke out, William II sent a telegram to Paul Kruger to congratulate Paul Kruger on his victory. Britain was very angry at William II's behavior.

In short, this guy is a lunatic. According to the records of his birth in the palace documents, William II may have a serious disease that caused brain function problems. Translated into Chinese, it probably means brain damage.

"Bastard!" Henry exploded, not knowing whether to scold Emily Hobhouse or the two German pastors.

At noon that day, Henry and Rock went to see August Russell together. After learning what Emily Hobhouse and his party had done in Oak Town, August Russell also felt dizzy.

"Lock, no matter what, you have to ensure the stability of the refugee camp, and when necessary—" August Russell didn't say what Rock should do when necessary.

But Rock already understood what August Russell meant, this was the rhythm of letting Rock take the blame.

Referring to the previous attitude of the Expeditionary Force Command to the Boer Allied Forces prisoners, it is clear that the so-called "leniency policy" for the Boer Allied Forces is just an expedient measure for the Expeditionary Force Command. The British government paid a total of 2.2 for the Second Boer War. Billion pounds, so the British will definitely not let the Boers go easily. If possible, I believe the British government is willing to see the Boers disappear. This is what the Expeditionary Force Command has always wanted to do.

As a result, those members of the Boer coalition who surrendered became a big problem. It was impossible to shoot them directly as before. Now there are many military observers from various countries in Cape. Shooting prisoners of war will damage the reputation of the British Empire. Gust Russell wanted Rock to find a way that would not affect the reputation of the British Empire, and justifiably kill the members of the Boer coalition forces who surrendered.

Of course, if Roque's method is not so "justifiable", then Roque will be responsible for the "slaughter of prisoners of war".

The tragedy is that Rock still can't refuse such an order. Although there is also no official document, this is the price of holding the British thigh.

Are all British philanthropists? !

Henry also understood what August Russell meant, so Henry looked at Rock full of pity and intolerance—or, there was a hint of expectation.

"Yes, Director, I understand." Rock resolutely took this "black pot" on his back. The risk is proportional to the benefit. Zi once said: "Fortune comes when misfortune lies, and misfortune lies where blessing rests." .

It's Lao Tzu.
