Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 111 Footbinding

The Transvaal and Orange are newly occupied areas. Alfred Milner will rebuild two sets of teams in the Transvaal and Orange, so there are plenty of vacancies. If Rock performs well, he will definitely give Alfred Milner impressed.

Rock introduced the refugee camp in Oaktown in detail, and the conversation naturally moved to the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange.

"The Boers in the Transvaal and Orange are definitely different from the Boers in the Cape. After the war broke out, many Boers in the Cape who sympathized with the Boer Allied Forces crossed the border to join the Boer Allied Forces and chose to fight against the expeditionary forces. In a sense, this should be regarded as a cleansing. Those Boers who remained, at least did not contradict our rule, and those Boers who joined the Boer coalition, whether they were Transvaal, Orange, or even Those Cape people who crossed the border have expressed deep hostility towards us, so how to deal with them may become the main problem after the war." Rock entered the role quickly, completely on the side of Alfred Milner Consider the problem from a perspective.

When Rock first spoke, Alfred Milner was still in the mood to drink coffee. As Rock explained the problem in depth, the coffee in Alfred Milner's hand had already cooled, but Alfred Milner did not realized.

"Yes, Inspector Locke, how to deal with those Boers will be our main problem. On this issue, what do you think?" Alfred Milner attached great importance to Rock's opinion, because Rock During this period of time, he showed excellent results in managing the refugee camp.

Again, no matter if you are Chinese or white, don’t expect other people to respect you if you don’t show the ability to be respected. The Boers in Cape are just as white. If you fight against the Cape colonial government, you will be a pig A dog is worse than a dog. As a Chinese, Rock can be Alfred Milner's guest as long as he serves the Cape colonial government wholeheartedly.

To put it bluntly, the Chinese in this era do not have a strong motherland, so they are not worthy of the attention of the British. If the Chinese want to stand out, they must hug the British thighs and work wholeheartedly for the colonial government. On this issue, Rock actually Shares extensive interests with Alfred Milner.

"Exile!" Rock was categorical. Alfred Milner had a tough attitude towards the Boers. The hostile attitude towards us, so we must be tough on this issue. To treat ordinary members of the Boer coalition forces, they can all be exiled. The expeditionary force has defeated the Boer coalition forces on the frontal battlefield, but the war is far from over. Perhaps for the expeditionary force, their war has ended, but for us, our war has just begun—"

Rock paused, feeling that he could pretend, so his eyes were deep and distant: "For us, this is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, maybe it's just the end of the beginning!"

Don’t doubt the lethality of this sentence to the British. Although Rock is not Winston, it is obvious that Alfred Milner is not Roosevelt. The “exile” that Rock said, "Shooting", and even the concentration camps that Rock did not mention, are all methods used by Alfred Milner in history, so Alfred Milner was quite emotional, although Rock and Alfred · Milner's age gap is a bit big, but Alfred Milner still has a sense of mountains and rivers.

"Very good! Inspector Locke, go back and get ready. Next month, maybe you will change jobs." Alfred Milner was very satisfied. In this big exam, Rock didn't say he could get 100 points. At least 90 can be obtained.

The next day, Rock was not in a hurry to return to Oak Town, but went to visit Hua Yong who had just arrived in Cape Town.

No, they should be called "officers" now.

To be honest, now Rock believes that sometimes, the role of a god opponent is really not as good as a pig teammate.

In the Cape Town Police Department, those Indian policemen are pig teammates.

And with the comparison of these pig teammates, the excellence of the Chinese police can be fully demonstrated, otherwise, maybe Rock's performance is not so outstanding now.

Because of the excellence of the Chinese police, the Cape Town Police Department seems to have given up on the Indian police. This time, the Cape Town Police Department hired 550 Chinese police officers and none of the Indian police officers.

Among the 550 Chinese police officers, about 200 are senior Huayongs. The rest are Huayongs who have just been hired by the Huayong Camp. They have only received basic training for less than three months, and they are incomparable to those senior Huayongs. , but it is also much better than those Indian policemen.

After coming to Cape Town, Chinese police officers did not start working, but first received language training. This is very important for Chinese police officers. Now they not only need to receive English training, but also Dutch language training. Of course Don't expect them all to reach level [-] or [-]. It is enough to be able to cope with simple work needs. Now it is just simple training, and more training will continue after they arrive in Transvaal and Orange.

When it comes to training, Roque has to accept the fact that if Roque's requirements are followed, there are probably very few women in the northern Qing Dynasty who meet Roque's requirements. The reason is simple. In this era, almost all women in the northern Qing Dynasty had their feet bound. The ratio is more than 90.00%, so it is not easy for Liang Dingxin to earn Rock's money. He can only go to remote areas to find it. This is why Liang Dingxin has not sent anyone over for so long.

There is nothing to argue about the proportion of women's feet bound during this period. In 1929, Li Jinghan, a well-known sociologist, conducted a survey of foot binding in a county in Zhili. A total of 515 houses and 1442 people were counted, and 63% of them bound their feet. .

这其中：年龄为5岁-9岁，裹脚比例0%；年龄为10岁-14岁，裹脚比例5.6%；之后比例逐年上升，到40岁以上，裹脚比例99.2%。

1929 years ago in 40, that was 1889, just turned 12 years old now, that is to say, at this time, the proportion of women in northern Qing Dynasty bound their feet was more than 99.2%. After women’s feet are bound, not to mention working, even walking is very difficult. Among Li De’s and Anton’s female family members, almost all adult women have their feet bound, and those who are underage are also binding their feet, and those underage are still bound. There is help, those who are adults, they can't work at all, they can only stay at home to take care of their families.

This is the tragedy of the times.
