Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 128 Dirty

Gandhi's non-violent non-cooperation was gradually perfected during the Cape.

The so-called "non-violence and non-cooperation" means that I can't beat you, but I don't obey you. If you want to insult me, scold me, beat me, kill me whatever you want, I will endure, endure, endure, endure with -

If you endure it, you will become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

This is no joke, Gandhi really thought so.

During World War II, the Communist Party pointed the finger at the Jews. When the Jews were massacred, Gandhi called on the Jews to commit suicide collectively. Maybe the Germans would resent the terrorist atrocities and then oppose the Communist Party——

When the Republic of China was facing Japanese aggression, Chang Kaishen went to meet Gandhi. Gandhi chose to refuse to help and join the allies. In addition, he suggested that Chang Kaishen not resist and follow the Japanese to kill. Anyway, the Republic of China has a large population. In the end, the Japanese will become "slaves of the Chinese" if they kill them badly.

So let’s not talk about whether Gandhi’s "non-violent non-cooperation" is right or not. Anyway, the British like Gandhi very much, and the leaders of India after independence also like Gandhi very much. The reason: everyone likes such "obedient citizens"!

But if civilians believe his nonsense and practice "non-violent non-cooperation", that is really stupid.

Winston commented on Gandhi in this way: Look at that provocative lawyer who graduated from the London Law School, but now he pretends to be an ascetic monk common to Orientals, nude and skinny, and he still has peace of mind with the vice king ( Governor of India) sits on an equal footing, goes in and out of the palace, pretends to dine and drink tea with the representatives of the King of England, it is really disgusting.

To be honest, Rock didn't like Gandhi either.

But Rock has no reason to prevent Gandhi from contacting the Boers. The reason is simple. If Gandhi can influence those Boers, then this will objectively benefit Rock's work.

Therefore, Rock still focused his work on the Chinese miners in Johannesburg.

After returning to the police station, Rock immediately called Martin: "Take some time to go to Johannesburg these few days to learn about the situation of the Chinese in Johannesburg, remember to just understand, even if their living conditions are not good, don't interfere .”

Rock has to be careful. If the news provided by Henry is correct, then most of the Chinese should work in "De Beers Consolidated Mining Company". Compared with Rock, "De Beers Consolidated Mining Company" is a behemoth. Facing the "De Beers Unified Mining Company", he has no ability to resist at all, so even if the living conditions of the Chinese miners are not good, Rock can't save them now.

Even?

Forget it, Rock is almost certain that the living conditions of the Chinese miners in Johannesburg must be very harsh.

Unlike Roque and the others, the official employees of the Cape colonial government, the Chinese in Johannesburg are all foreign migrant workers, and the Transvaal Republic does not have as enlightened immigration measures as Cape Town. Before the Second Boer War, even white people wanted naturalization The Transvaal also needs to live in the Transvaal for 5 years, and this clause was later extended to 14 years.

The policy for naturalization of whites is so harsh, let alone the Chinese.

Without Roque's intervention, even if the Chinese in Johannesburg lived to the end of the employment contract, they probably wouldn't get much money, and they would eventually be sent back to their country.

Don't overestimate the conscience of the white people. The social status of the Chinese in Transvaal these days is not much better than that of the Zulus.

The Indians still have Gandhi striving to improve their social status, but the Chinese have nothing.

Fortunately, there is Rock now.

Martin didn't know what Rock was thinking, and if Rock didn't say anything, Martin wouldn't ask, but Martin would carry out Rock's orders to the letter.

Turning back, Roque went to Henry again.

"There is no police station in Johannesburg yet. Do you want to send some police to Johannesburg?" In front of Henry, Rock did not hide his desire for Johannesburg.

"Ha, I knew—" Henry also knew Roque's thoughts, perhaps like other British people, Henry didn't like Chinese, but Henry liked Roque: "Let's talk about it after the Governor's inauguration, we still have insufficient police force now , Maintaining law and order in Pretoria is not enough, and it is incapable of taking care of Johannesburg."

Of course, the more likely situation is that because Rock has been naturalized in Cape Town, Henry regards Rock as his own, which is different from other Chinese.

"Speaking of the lack of police force, can we coordinate with Cape Town and hire some Zulu scouts?" Rock still has no right to hire people directly from the Qing Dynasty, so he can only play the idea of ​​​​the Zulu people.

During the Second Boer War, the Expeditionary Army hired a large number of Zulu scouts. They performed very well on the battlefield, endured hardships and stood hard work, and were not afraid of sacrifice. It would be a pity if these people retired after the war.

"Why hire them? Those Zulus are not disciplined and don't like to learn. Many of them don't even know English. They can't do police work well." Henry looked down on those Zulus.

This is a real question about Zulu discipline and learning.

However, this cannot be entirely blamed on the Zulus. The agreement of Ding Zulu of the Expeditionary Army Command is that after defeating the Boers, the Zulus can get the Boers' cattle, sheep and livestock, so the discipline of the Zulus is out of the question.

As for studying!

Will the British educate the Zulus?

Don't be funny, the British only use rifles and sticks to teach the Zulus, so the British have never tried to restrain the Zulus' military discipline. The undisciplined Zulus are in the best interests of the United Kingdom.

"Try it, as our scope of work expands, we will inevitably have to face the Boer guerrillas, and those Zulus will come in handy at that time." Rock plans ahead, and the IQ of the Zulus is not legendary IQs are so low, they can be the president of the United States in the 21st century, you say their IQs are low?

"Alright, I happen to have something to ask General Hopkins." Henry's purpose was not simple.

General?

Probably for the general's daughter.

"How are you and Lacey?" Rock didn't need to shy away from this question.

"Very good!" Speaking of Lacey, Henry was immediately happy to see the big molars.

Leaving Henry's office and passing Phyllis's desk, Rock suddenly spotted a familiar figure from behind.

"Thank you, I don't need it, Mr. Kevin, can you please leave, I still have my job." Phyllis was very rude.

Kevin?

Oh, Lacey's fiancé—

It seems that Kevin seems to be very interested in Phyllis——

This revenge angle is good. Henry snatched away Kevin's fiancee, and Kevin went to pick up Henry's sister——

Hey, it's dirty!

　The plots of the past few days have been dark, so write some light adjustments——
