Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 108 Pretoria

The two military observers were not here to investigate the camp, they were only interested in Rock himself.

"A few days ago in Cape Town, we had an exchange with Superintendent Henry at the dinner held by His Excellency the Governor. According to Superintendent Henry, you are very good at dealing with guerrillas. Can you talk to us? "The military observer named Hugo was very enthusiastic.

Guerrilla?

Rock didn't remember that the French had this demand.

"There is no need, but it doesn't mean that there is no need to understand. You know, France also has a huge colony." Hugo's thirst for knowledge is quite strong, but Rock feels that Hugo's purpose should not be so simple.

"It is actually very simple to deal with the guerrillas. The current method of the Expeditionary Forces Command is good. Cut off the connection between the guerrillas and ordinary Boers, and punish those Boers who provide support for the guerrillas, so that sooner or later the guerrillas will lose supplies. Unsustainable--" Rock will not tell the truth, and use the method of the expeditionary army headquarters to deal with it. This is politically correct, and no one can fault it.

Hugo's expression was very disappointed, and he shook his head slightly when he looked at another military observer named Rafael, probably sighing, Locke's name is not true.

"Lock, how much do you know about Madagascar?" Raphael finally spoke.

Madagascar, the largest island in Africa and the fourth largest island in the world, covers an area of ​​59 square kilometers and is a French colony.

However, the French colonization of Madagascar was not successful. Since the 80s, the French colonists tried to annex Madagascar many times, but they were resisted by the Malagasy people. Annexation of Madagascar, Madagascar did not become a French colony until four years ago, but the Malagasy people are still resisting.

"Sorry, I don't know much about Madagascar." Rock didn't want to go through this muddy water. Madagascar is now a French colony, but Britain has not given up on its ambitions for Madagascar. Rock is now playing for the British, so Rock wants to Try to avoid contact with the French, melon fields and plums.

"During this time in Cape Town, I noticed that the decision of the Cape Town Police Department to hire Chinese police officers is very wise. Do you know Locke? France is also an open and free country. We welcome all people who yearn for democracy and freedom." La Phil was straightforward, and he really went to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

"Sorry, Mr. Raphael, I'm from Cape now." Rock knows that France is an open and free country, otherwise France would not be called "Francistan" in his previous life, but France is too open and free , There is no bottom line, which makes Rock very worried. Although France now has a huge colony, Rock doesn't see much hope for France.

What's more, if there is no choice, hugging the French's thigh is also a good choice, but now it is obvious that Rock has a better choice. Instead of hugging the British's thigh, hug the French, I'm afraid It's not that the head was kicked by the donkey.

"Locke, you should know that England is an extremely conservative and xenophobic country—" Hugo said without hesitation.

"Hugo, shut up!" Raphael hurriedly stopped.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" It has already been heard, there are many casual soldiers in the bar, and some soldiers have heard Hugo's words just now.

"Sorry, he's drunk." Raphael said lightly, hoping to fool him.

"I don't think he's drunk, Second Lieutenant, I hope you know what you're talking about!" The soldier was very rude, and he didn't show mercy to Hugo just because he was an officer.

"Andre, he didn't mean to." Rock stepped forward to smooth things over. Coincidentally, Andre was the Lancer who was brought down by Rock.

"Locke, don't forget that you are also British." Andre gave Rock face, threw a harsh word, and went to his companion with several glasses of beer.

Well, there are still too few waiters in the bar.

"Sorry——" Raphael understood that there was nothing he could do, so he apologized insincerely, and left with Hugo.

It was only then that Rock realized that the damn French, maybe Hugo's blurted words just now were intentional. If this matter got out, it would definitely affect the trust of the British in Rock.

It has already spread. With so many soldiers in the bar, Rock believes that someone will report everything that happened here to the Cape Colonial Government.

Having a headache, Rock decided to go back to the bureau the next day.

"What do they mean?" August Russell's expression was gloomy, his elbows were propped on the table, and his hands were crossed in front of his nose. Rock could only see August Russell's dangerous eyes.

"I don't know, maybe they also want to hire Chinese policemen to work in Madagascar, or maybe they want to hire me, who knows." Rock frankly, no matter what the purpose of Raphael and Hugo is, Rock has a clear conscience.

"What do you think?" August Russell paid more attention to Rock's thoughts.

"I don't think much about it. I have been naturalized in Cape Town, bought a small vineyard in Oak Town, and have a house on Mill Street. I don't want to go to Madagascar and start all over again." Rock is really not polite, compared with Cape Town , Madagascar is the countryside, Rock is now tired of looking at the original ecological landscape.

"Good job Locke, you made the right choice, the second batch of Chinese policemen will arrive in Cape Town soon, this batch has 500 people, get ready—" August Russell told Luo Ke nodded and picked up a document in his hand.

Leaving August Russell's office, Roque was in a good mood, but 500 Chinese policemen seemed a bit too much, and Cape Town didn't need so many, after all, the contracts between the Cape Town Police Department and those Indian policemen had not yet arrived. Period, so it seems——

Rock turned and went to Henry.

"Hiring this batch of police officers is not for Cape Town, but for Bloemfontein and Pretoria. How about it? Do you have any ideas?" Henry sat on the desk, holding a coffee cup and asking He looked at Roque with interest.

Bloemfontein and Pretoria!

Yes, the Expeditionary Force Command has already occupied the Republic of Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The next step is to annex these two regions. Henry told Roque before that the police should also be established in these two regions There will be a large number of vacancies in the system, and Rock is of course interested.

"Where are you going?" Rock still has to keep up with Henry. Even if he is separated from Henry, Rock can't be the district police chief, and it's better to hang out with Henry.

Obviously, Henry was very satisfied with Rock's choice, took a sip of coffee, and Henry turned his gaze to the far north: "Pretoria."

Well, this choice is correct, the Rand Gold Mine is in Pretoria.
