Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 15 Goodwill

Rock successfully applied for a new partner, and just as Rock thought, the new partner was Li De.

"Lord Luo, I've wanted to be in your class for a long time. The Indian who was in my class was lazy, greedy, greedy, and bad. He didn't have enough to eat, and he couldn't do anything. The superiors said that Indians are good at foreign languages. , I read Indians’ foreign languages, and foreigners can’t understand them at all.” Li De was very excited, and the English level of Indians is only the same, but they are very good at deceiving, and their bragging skills are first-rate.

Speaking of Indian English, this is another wonderful thing among the wonderful ones. Since accepting the British colonization, India has begun to regard English as its mother tongue, but after English arrived in India, it began to become nondescript. The English spoken by Indians, even the British I don't understand, it's not a joke.

"Li De, your name is good. Remember that your English name will be Reed from now on. Redd, don't you want to bring my mother to Cape Town? Let me teach you a good way to register with the Immigration Bureau and become an official people from Cape Town, and then the monthly salary can be increased to 5 pounds, which is enough for you and my wife.” Rock can’t say anything about Anton, but he can make decisions for Li De. Li De is Rock's younger brother, the loyal kind, even if Rock is an ordinary patrolman after he arrives in Cape Town, Li De is still loyal to Rock.

"If you register, you will become a Capetonian. Can we go back to our hometown in the future?" Li De didn't object, but was a little worried.

"Why can't we go back? Register as a Capetonian, and we will be foreigners when we go back to the Qing Dynasty. Think about the status of foreigners in the Qing Dynasty. When we return to the Qing Dynasty, we can walk sideways. Those county magistrates will have to salute us when they see us." Luo Ke's tongue is also not bad, and the words of the car wheel are upside down, anyway, it is Rock's reason.

"It's true, the foreign devils are so tyrannical in our Qing Dynasty, but we have become foreigners, so we are afraid that we will not be able to enter the graves of our ancestors in the future." Li De is still hesitating. It is taboo for the Chinese to forget their ancestors. Examples of family emigration were rare in the nineteenth century.

"Whatever you want, I'm planning to settle in Cape Town. When we patrol the streets later, I'm going to look for a house, and I'll make my home in Cape Town." That's all for Rock, whether Li De wants it or not, Roque will not force it.

In fact, settling in Cape Town is not a long-term solution. Cape Town is not bad now. When the Union of South Africa is established, the future of South Africa will be very sad. Of course, that is not Roque’s problem. Roque will leave before the blacks take power in South Africa. This is a place of right and wrong, not to mention that with Roque here, it may not be possible for black people to have a chance to take power. South Africa in the middle of the twentieth century was a quasi-developed country.

"Farewell, Master Luo, I'll settle down. Is it okay if I settle down?" Li De saw that Rock wanted to give up, and immediately decided to follow in Rock's footsteps: "It's not that we don't know the benefits of settling down, but in the past, everyone I haven't settled down, and no one wants to settle down. Master Luo, you dare to settle down. Of course, I, Li De, do too. At least we can be companions together."

Money touches people's hearts, and a salary of five pounds a month. It would be a lie to say that they are not tempted. The key is that no one takes the first step. As long as there is the first person to become a crab, the local complex is not so indestructible.

It's good if you are willing to settle down. Rock is also very worried that he will become a loner after he settles down. Then Rock's naturalization will have no demonstration effect. Now that Li De is willing to settle down with Rock, it is a good start. I believe the officials of the police station will definitely see it.

At the same time, Sheriff Henry Matilda was reporting to Inspector Austin Burns.

"Those people from the Qing Dynasty are finally willing to settle in Cape Town? Who is the first person to settle down?" Austin Burns was very pleased that finally a sensible Chinese appeared. Austin Burns had been waiting for this day for a long time.

To be honest, there was a time when Austin Pence believed that Chinese police officers were fools. Obviously, the benefits of naturalization in Cape Town were at your fingertips, but no Chinese policeman was willing to naturalize in Cape Town. This is not in line with Austin Pence’s understanding of human nature. Austin Burns was also a British citizen before, but now he has been naturalized in Cape Town, and immigration is normal for British people.

"Yes, he named himself Locke. This Locke is amazing. He is different from other Qing people. He is fluent in English and speaks a little Italian. Just now, Locke helped me solve a problem. Big trouble." Henry Matilda was full of praise for Roque, the lady just now was the wife of an official of the Colonial Affairs Bureau, if there was no Roque, Henry Matilda would be in trouble.

"Luo, I seem to have heard of this name." Austin Burns had a little impression of Rock, but not a deep impression. There are hundreds of police officers in the Cape Town Police Department, and Austin Burns can't remember everyone .

"It was the Luo who was attacked by rioters and was hospitalized in a coma. Locke had served in the Huayong Battalion. His military rank in the Huayong Camp was a corporal. According to his rank, Locke could also serve as a sheriff when he came to Cape Town. Yes, but who told him to be from the Qing Dynasty.” Henry Matilda was a little bit sorry, since birth is very important at any time.

"Very good resume. The Huayong Camp is a useful attempt. If the loyalty of the Huayong Camp can be guaranteed, then the scale of the Huayong Camp will be further expanded in the future. Unfortunately, it seems that the loyalty of the Huayong Camp is not enough. , so the higher-ups are still hesitating, since Locke has been naturalized, let him get enough benefits, we need more Locke to appear." Austin Pence's level can learn more information, and the British also know how to buy money. The truth of the horse bone.

The original intention of the British to establish the Huayong Camp was to assist the British in managing the concessions in the Qing Dynasty. No matter at any time, loyalty is the most important thing for the British. Why can the lazy and inefficient Indians do so well under the hands of the British? ?It is because the Indians are loyal enough. Although they are lacking in ability, compared with the blacks in Africa, the Indians are already good, and the British have no better choice.

Purely in terms of ability, there is an obvious gap between Indians and Chinese. The British officers of the Huayong Battalion commented on the Huayongs that "everyone is a sharpshooter with a hundred shots and one shot." heavy losses", purely from the evaluation point of view, Huayong Battalion received a better evaluation than the Hong Kong Legion established earlier.

If the soldiers of the Huayong Battalion have any shortcomings, it may be that they are not good at expressing themselves. Although the Huayongs have used their actions to prove that their loyalty is fine, but for the United Kingdom, the soldiers of the Huayong Battalion did not treat the British. Showed genuine goodwill, so the trust that the British gave to the Huayongs was reserved.

Rock took the initiative to settle in Cape Town. In Austin Burns' view, this was Rock's goodwill towards the British Empire.
