Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 157 Compensation

Back in Johannesburg, the morale of the police station is low, and no one feels good when encountering such a thing.

In the evening, Rock called Buck, Martin, and Reed while having dinner.

The dinner was good. The Johannesburg Police Department took over the Jinshan Hotel, and Marvin and his two apprentices took over the kitchen. These two apprentices were Chinese. They were called by Marvin, and they arrived at the same time as Marvin's family. Pu, now that Marvin's family lives in Oak Town, Marvin brought his apprentice and Rock to Johannesburg.

When you are in a bad mood, even the best dishes are tasteless.

"Come on, let's have a drink." Rock proposed with a toast.

Buck, Martin, and Reed were all silent. They raised their cups to gesture to Rock, and then drank them all in one gulp.

"I know that my brothers are all aggrieved by this matter. Don't worry. The Transvaal will lift military control sooner or later. These troops will eventually withdraw. At that time, we will have the final say here." After walking out of the Palace of Justice, Roque It's not the same Rock as before.

In the past, Roque just wanted to find a shelter for his brothers in Cape so that he could survive better in this troubled world.

Now Rock is no longer negative, the fate of the brothers cannot be in the hands of the British, the British are unreliable, the Boers are also unreliable, and the Zulus are even more unreliable. Brothers—or Chinese, want to live in South Africa Go down, only on your own.

"Boss, in fact, brothers don't blame you. Brothers all know that you have done everything you can do. You are not to blame for this matter, but the stupid foreign devils." Martin couldn't get rid of his hatred.

"My brothers were also on fire. During the afternoon patrol, soldiers from the Welch Fusiliers regiment provoked them, and the brothers fought with them again. The foreign devils looked tall and powerful, but in fact they didn't fight at all. Don't look at how many of them there are, they were beaten to the bum by the brothers—" Li De usually doesn't talk much, and he is a standard hard worker, and he is more ruthless than anyone else when he does it.

If we want to talk about the benefits brought by this incident, then it can be regarded as the complete release of the fierceness in the bones of the Chinese policemen.

Don't underestimate the power of role models. Roque has beaten Indians and Boers before, and he has set the best example for his brothers. Now, the Canadians Roque beats are pure British. On, who else can't fight?

I still remember that when we first arrived in Cape Town, the Chinese policemen could not help but restrain their hands and feet when facing foreigners. Even if they were facing the Boers with low status, the brothers did not dare to go too far just because of the white skin of the Boers.

Now all the Chinese policemen have no such concerns. The Boers are white, so they have to keep a low voice when facing the Chinese policemen.

The British are also white. Although the status of the British is higher than that of the Boers, as long as the British violate the interests of the Chinese police, the Chinese police can now throw their fists at each other without hesitation. This was unthinkable before.

"Inspector, you have done a good job. We Chinese were bullied in Johannesburg before, and no one dared to resist. Even those Zulu people can bully us. It is really unexpected that when the British bullied us, you would actually Seek justice for us Chinese—it’s nothing to say, this is a toast to you!" Buck was emotional and was not affected.

Chinese--

Human life is actually worthless in this troubled world, not to mention the lives of the Chinese, the lives of the Zulus and the Boers are worthless, even the lives of the British soldiers are worthless.

After the outbreak of the war, people’s lives were ignored every day. To be honest, even Buck didn’t think it was a big deal to kill a Chinese policeman. Johannesburg killed many people every day. Miners, civilians, guerrillas, soldiers— —

People die every day, and after experiencing too many deaths, Buck has become numb to this world.

Rock's approach opened a new door for Buck, allowing Buck to fully realize that the Chinese—

It is not something that people can insult at will!

"Buck, in order for others to respect you, you must first respect yourself." Roque didn't want to say too much. The Chinese in Johannesburg are still far from Roque's request.

Take your time, Rock still has time.

"Inspector, there is a colonel named Marcus Lloyd outside who wants to see you. He is the head of the Royal Canadian Regiment." A commando came over to ask for instructions.

Rock nodded and stood up to greet him.

Although the colonel is not a general, he is also a senior officer and cannot be taken lightly.

Although the relationship between the Johannesburg Police Station and the Royal Canadian Regiment is currently tense, the face that should be given is still to be given. The Royal Canadian Regiment does not know how long it will be stationed in Johannesburg, and they will definitely have to deal with each other in the future. No matter how tired Rock is in his heart, he still needs to do superficial work.

don't do—

I'm sorry, the whole society will be hostile to you and isolate you.

People are alive, there will always be many last resorts.

"Hehe, Sergeant Locke, we meet again-oh, no, now you are a senior inspector, God, it's unbelievable how long it's been!" Marcus Lloyd and Rock still Acquaintances greet each other warmly when they meet.

When Rock saw the maple leaf logo on Marcus Lloyd's hat, he immediately remembered that he and Marcus Lloyd had drank together and boasted.

It was still in Kimberley. At that time, Roque led the commando to kill Joubert, and met Marcos Lloyd outside the office of General Roberts, who was the chief of staff of the expeditionary force at the time. After General Roberts summoned Henry, Roque, Henry and Marcus Lloyd was one of a group of officers who went to the bar.

"Marcos, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you okay?" Rock forced a smile. In fact, last time, Marcos Lloyd and Rock left a good impression on each other.

"Very well, it would be better if there were no such nonsense, I want to say sorry to you, Locke, it was my children who went too far, they have not yet come out of the shadow of the war, so they were emotional when they performed the mission. "Marcos Lloyd offered to apologize.

Emotional?

This is probably not something that can be explained by emotional excitement.

But Roque didn't need to hold on to it. Roque can't avenge this revenge now, but in the future, the British government will definitely pay the price for the contempt and arrogance of the Chinese police today.

"Marcos, this is not your responsibility. I believe that if you were at the scene, you would not allow this to happen." Rock was magnanimous, and it would be fine if he wasn't magnanimous. Rock had now recognized the essence of the British.

It is impossible for Roque to pursue it to the end. If the perpetrators are to be held accountable forcibly, not to mention Marcos Lloyd, Alfred Milner will have opinions on Roque.

This is the tragedy of not having a strong motherland.

The Qing Dynasty cannot be said to be a small country with few people, but the country is not strong. No matter how large the territory is, no matter how large the population is, no one takes you seriously. For example, Canada in the 21st century, or India in the 21st century, has a large land area and a large population. It's useless, and speaking is equally useless.

"Locke, you are a broad-minded person." Marcos Lloyd was very satisfied with Rocke's attitude. He must have also felt the pressure from the Governor's Palace, so he took the initiative to come to Rocke.

This in itself already represents an apology from the military.

In the living room, Rock and Marcos Lloyd were seated separately. Rock recommended green tea from the Qing Dynasty to Marcos Lloyd, and Marcos Lloyd was full of praise.

"Locke, the deceased is gone. No amount of apology can heal the grief of the family of the deceased. I am sorry. I can only try to make up for it in this way." After drinking a cup of tea, Marcus Lloyd handed Give Rock a check.

"Thank you, Marcos, I don't know how to explain to Lynn's family that he didn't die on the battlefield, but died by his own hands." Rock didn't look at the amount on the check at all, just like Marcos As Lloyd said, no amount of money can ease the grief of the families of the deceased.

"His name is Lynn?" Marcus Lloyd's expression was also heavy.

"Yes, his family is in Cape Town. He just arrived in Oak Town a month ago. He has two sons and a daughter." Rock's heart is also heavy. He really doesn't know how to face Lynn's family.

Marcus Lloyd was silent for a while, and made a decision: "I will adopt Lynn's children, pay for living expenses every month, and if they can go to college, I will also pay for their college tuition until they come of age , if they want, I can take them to Canada, I promise you, Locke, I will treat them like my own children - as for the officers and soldiers who have lost their minds, they will be forcibly discharged, and then Repatriated to Canada to serve their sentence, I can assure you that their minimum sentence is no less than five years - sorry Locke, I know this result is not fair to Lynn, but - we cannot let this tragedy happen again."

In fact, it was already good. Before that, white people did not need to pay any price for killing a person of color. There may or may not be compensation, and even if there is, it is only a dozen pounds.

Rock is not entangled in this issue, at least the situation has changed, this is a good start.

"No no no, Marcos, thank you, but there is really no need for this. I am the godfather of the children, and I will bear all the expenses during their growth. This should not be borne by you." Rock immediately refused, On this issue, Rock is obliged.

Regarding the "Godfather", this concept has been played badly by Chinese policemen.

There is no concept of "godfather" among Chinese, but there is a concept of "godfather" among Chinese, so Rock will raise Lynn's children as "god sons" until they grow up.

For the same reason, in fact, Lynn's children will have many "godfathers", Anton, Reed, Martin——

As long as they are Chinese policemen, they will do their best on this issue. Therefore, it is estimated that Lynn's children will be "miserable" in the future, because there will be many godfathers watching their every move. If they are not successful——

Then they will definitely feel a lot of "warmth" from "father's love".

"Okay Locke, I hope we can maintain better cooperation in the future." Marcos Lloyd didn't bother, but looking back, Marcos Lloyd would send another check as Marcos Lloyd Ed's compensation to Lynn's family.

This level of compensation—

Really not enough!
