Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 156 Humiliation

When seeing the situation at the scene, Rock's mood can be imagined.

To be honest, Rock doesn't care about the life and death of the Boers, the life and death of the Zulus, and even Rock doesn't care about the life and death of the Chinese miners who are trained on the farm, but the Chinese police——

That's Rock's brother!

Rock will never forget, those brothers who took the initiative to stand up and surround Rock when he first woke up to teach Kunale a lesson.

Roque will never forget those brothers who volunteered to raise money for Roque when he was short on money to buy a house in Cape Town.

Roque will also never forget, after knowing that Roque was naturalized in Cape Town, those brothers who followed Roque into Cape Town.

These all stem from the brothers' trust in Rock.

When Roque taught Kunale a lesson, there were hundreds of Indian policemen in the Cape Town Police Department, and only 30 Chinese policemen. Every Chinese policeman who stood up to Roque actually took the risk of being retaliated by Indian policemen. .

But they didn't hesitate.

When Roque wanted to buy a house, all the Chinese policemen were not well-off. They had to save money to support their families, start a family and start a business, and return home with wealth. But when Roque needed money, they did not hesitate to put their hard work The three or five pounds I had saved so hard were lent to Roque.

As for the naturalization of Cape Town, it is even more risky. At that time, there were only more than 30 Chinese in Cape Town, but after Rock was naturalized, they still walked into the immigration office resolutely, then cut off their braids and put on suits , which is almost equivalent to trusting life and death.

Now, Rock came to Johannesburg, and these same brothers gave up the better and better situation in Cape Town, left the family who had settled down in Oak Town, and followed Rock to Johannesburg all the way. Rock's trust.

Rock will not live up to these trusts.

So even though the soldiers guarding with guns sternly warned, Rock still strode forward.

"Stop, this is the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment. We are carrying out military operations. Any trespassing behavior will be shot dead on the spot." The soldier had already raised his gun and pointed it at Rock.

"Put down your gun!"

"Asshole, we're the police!"

"—"

The policemen who followed Rock immediately yelled, and more people drew their guns at each other, and the scene was on the verge of breaking out.

"I am Locke, Chief of the Johannesburg Police Station. This is the jurisdiction of our police station. Now go and inform your officer that everyone on this farm is under the protection of the Johannesburg Police Station. Now, I am going to see my subordinates." , Don't do things beyond your ability, it will lead to unbearable consequences." Rock suppressed his anger, and everyone could hear the cruelty hidden under Rock's calm appearance.

"I—we are Royal Canada—" the soldier continued.

"I know you're the Royal Canadian Rifles, and I know you're on a mission, but look what you've done? Do you think the cops are guerrillas? Don't these cops identify you? Fuck you Don't you have those damn eyes, didn't you see the police uniforms on them?" Rock erupted instantly, and the sprayed soldiers retreated again and again.

"What the hell are you doing?" Finally an officer appeared, this time a captain.

"Damn it, look what the hell you have done!" Rock spat back louder.

"We are on a mission!" The captain was full of momentum.

"We are also on a mission!" Rock was more imposing, but he was not in the mood to entangle with the captain: "Now, I need to confirm the situation of my subordinates—"

This place has been arguing for a long time, and the few policemen on the ground are still motionless. Rock really doesn't have time to pester them. He just hopes that the situation will not be too bad.

The captain seemed to have just noticed the motionless policeman on the ground, and felt a little dumbfounded.

In fact, when Rock and the captain were spraying each other, Martin had already walked around the captain to check the situation of the few policemen.

Martin knows some first aid, which is also a necessary skill for people in the yamen.

The situation didn't seem to be going well. There were four policemen in total, three of whom responded to Martin's call, and one policeman had blood stains at the corners of his mouth and under his nose, and did not respond to Martin's first aid.

Roque remembered the breathless policeman, his name was Lynn, and his family had just arrived in Oak Town two months ago.

"Inspector!" Martin's voice was filled with grief and indignation.

"Fuck!" Rock kicked the captain away with a heavy kick.

"Fuck him!"

"on!"

"F***!"

The scene immediately turned upside down.

-

Not surprisingly, Rock went to Pretoria again.

"What is it for this time?" Alfred Milner was a little helpless. All capable people are like this. They can do things, but they can also cause trouble.

"Before the police station was built, I temporarily placed the miners on a farm and sent police guards-because the farm was not more than ten miles away from the gold mine that was attacked, the soldiers of the Canadian regiment were going to lock up all the miners. Entering the concentration camp, the guarding policeman was beaten by the soldiers of the Canadian regiment just because he blocked the soldiers of the Canadian regiment, three policemen were seriously injured, and one policeman was beaten to death by them—” Rock was changing the concept secretly, but seeing There were tears in his face, no matter what, Rock never imagined that the brothers died in his own hands.

Yes, according to the position of the Cape colonial government, whether it is the police or the regular army, they are actually their own people.

In the previous battle against the guerrillas and the Boer coalition forces, the police also suffered casualties. Some time ago, in the conflict with the Welch Fusiliers, some policemen were also injured. Rock can accept those situations. Now that the war is over, the police are unexpectedly The regular army beat him to death, which made Rock unable to swallow this breath no matter what.

"Beating to death?" Alfred Milner was very surprised.

"Yes, beaten to death by a soldier of the Canadian Rifles, a policeman who should have been honored after the war for fighting on the Eastern Front, rounding up Boer partisans, and taking Boer positions He also participated in the battle that killed Joubert, he should have received a medal after the war, instead of being beaten to death in such a humiliating manner, and he was still beaten to death by his own people—” Rock wanted to control his emotions, You can't be presumptuous in front of the governor.

Alfred Milner didn't speak, and immediately picked up the phone and called Kitchener.

"Your Excellency, your subordinates are too presumptuous. They beat and killed a policeman who once fought bloody for the British Empire. I need a reasonable explanation, and I ask you to severely punish those soldiers who behaved recklessly. They should treat this The viciousness is used against the Boer guerrillas, not against the police—" Alfred Milner also has a temper, and he spouted wildly at Kitchener.

"Sorry Alfred, I just found out about this. I have ordered someone to investigate. If someone commits a crime, I will definitely give you an explanation." It is estimated that Kitchina is also in a state of distress now. Fighting is normal, and someone was killed. Seriously, Kitchener may not care about the life and death of a policeman, but since Alfred Milner intervened, Kitchener will give Alfred Milner an explanation.

"Inspector Locke, you go back first, and I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Alfred Milner had no choice. Nor does it have jurisdiction.

"Governor—" Roque still wanted to argue.

"Inspector, go back first—" Alfred Milner's expression was serious, and he looked at Rock with complicated eyes.

Walking out of the Palace of Justice, Roque couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

Yes, this is the status of the Chinese in this era. Rock once thought that the Chinese could be recognized by the British by working hard.

But in fact, Rock now has to admit that fantasies can only be fantasies after all. The British will not recognize the Chinese. Don't look at Alfred Milner's nice words, but in the end, this matter probably won't happen. Let it go.

The so-called "military control" refers to the use of armed forces to assist the government in maintaining order under special circumstances.

During the period of military control, the functions of the government were greatly weakened, and even the courts were replaced by court-martials, so even if the soldiers of the Canadian Rifles were guilty, the court-martials would be in charge of the trial. Whether they were guilty or not, it was the officer in charge of the trial. The final decision.

The court-martial must protect the soldiers, so at the end of this matter, the soldiers of the Canadian regiment may be punished, but the punishment will definitely not be too severe, and what Lynn and Roque can do now is to serve as much as possible. Lynn fights for more financial compensation.

Note that it is compensation, not compensation. Compensation is out of humanitarianism. Compensation means that the party paying the money admits its mistakes, which are two different things.

Henry came with Rock. Seeing that Rock was depressed, Henry patted Rock on the shoulder and hugged him hard.

"Thank you, I'm fine." Rock managed to force a smile. The dead are gone, and life must go on.

"I'm sorry, we are so light-hearted—" Henry felt uncomfortable. Rock's subordinates were also Henry's subordinates. It was all the policemen in the entire Transvaal who were humiliated in this conflict, and Henry bore the brunt.

"So Henry, you have to climb up quickly - if the governor were you, this kind of thing would definitely not happen." Rock pinned his hopes on Henry. Today's incident reminded Rock not to be satisfied with the status quo, Be proactive.

"I want to climb up too—but I can't." Henry lamented that he and Roque had already climbed fast enough.

But it's not enough, we have to climb faster.

"There is good news, my father is coming to Cape." Henry's mood recovered quickly.

Also, after all, Henry doesn't have the pain of Rock.

"Coming to the Cape?" That's good news indeed.

Henry's father has a title. Although he is only a baron, a baron is also a nobleman.

Rock knew that Henry's father had previously worked in the British Ministry of Colonial Affairs, and it seemed that his rank was not low, so when he came to Cape Town, according to the usual practice, Henry's father was going to be promoted and appointed.

"No, come to the Transvaal." Henry corrected.

Yes, it's the Transvaal now, and it's a different thing from the Cape.
