Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 183

For the Boers, the Rand Gold Mine, which the British covet, is indeed a "cancer".

The Boers are not as powerful as the British. Because of the railway, the gold mined from the Rand Gold Mine in the past has to be shipped to Cape Town for sale, so the British can tolerate the independence of the Boers.

One person who has to be mentioned here is Kaiser Wilhelm II. In order to cause trouble for his grandmother, William II urged the Transvaal Republic to build Pretoria to Portuguese East Africa Lorenzo Marques The railway between them tried to get rid of the control of the British.

The British government would certainly not accept this result, so the Second Boer War broke out.

Now, Paul Kruger, President of the Transvaal Republic in exile, is trying to win the support of European countries in Europe.

Most continental European countries were sympathetic to the Transvaal Republic, only Germany, where Wilhelm II didn't even give Paul Kruger a chance to meet.

Perhaps it was only now that William II remembered that the Queen of England was his grandmother.

This is not a curse. Queen Victoria is indeed the grandmother of William II. The mother of William II is the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and the first child of Queen Victoria.

Therefore, the eldest son (second child) of Queen Victoria, the current British crown prince, and the future Edward VII, is the uncle of William II.

This "future" is actually not too far away. It is rumored that Queen Victoria is dying of illness, and it may be just these three or two months.

Before the outbreak of the Second Boer War, all of Europe was waiting to see the jokes of Britain, so they urged the Boers and the British to face it head-on.

The Boers probably saw that the situation was going well, so they got dizzy and gave the British government an "ultimatum".

It turned out that the fight was not like that at all. The Boers won first and then lost, and were beaten up by the expeditionary army. Only then did they fully recognize the reality. If the independence of the country can be guaranteed, the Boers would rather not have the Rand Gold Mine.

It's a pity that it is impossible to get what you want, but it is also inevitable. The British government has paid such a high price, and now it will absolutely not accept only one Rand gold mine.

Therefore, the war will continue.

The next day, Rock went to Owen to test whether the relationship between Hawley and Connie could be recognized by the Johannesburg City Government.

It was just a test, not a formal request, so Rock and Owen made an appointment at the Russell Cafe next to the police station.

Yes, you can tell from the name, the owner of the cafe is Joe Russell, the deputy police chief, and this is another jeans seller.

"Marriage? You have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't know exactly how to regulate it." Owen obviously didn't want to discuss this issue.

"I know I have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you have acquaintances, please ask for help." Rock and Owen disappeared, and the two elephants——

"Locke, don't embarrass me, you know this topic is taboo." Owen also didn't see each other with Rock, and his sister was about to run away with someone, is it useful?

Roque didn't know how much trouble Phyllis' "statement" had caused Baron Philip. Anyway, Roque hadn't seen Phyllis during this time.

Fortunately, there is Owen as an "insider". Although Owen does not help Roque with words, at least Roque knows that Phyllis is in a good mood. She is very busy walking the dog, watering flowers, reading books and baking biscuits in the Baron's mansion every day.

It's just that the baron has never eaten the biscuits baked by Phyllis, and Phyllis would rather feed the big guy than give the baron a chance to comment.

"It was a taboo in the past, so it will always be a taboo in the future?" Rock is not in a hurry, let's see how long the superiority of you white people can last.

Roque means that, sooner or later, this situation will be broken.

But in Owen's ears, this is not what he meant.

So Owen's face immediately turned ugly: "Locke, I consider you a friend—"

Rock immediately realized that Owen had misunderstood what Rock meant: "Think too much, Owen, I also consider you a friend, so I won't make things difficult for you."

Rock mainly still loves Phyllis, so before Rock is qualified to make a request to the baron, Rock will not rush to find Phyllis, which will make Phyllis' situation more difficult.

In other words, when the Prince of Wales is crowned, the world should be pardoned——

After all, so many heroes in the Anglo-Boer war are still waiting to be awarded.

Rock also qualifies.

At the very least, it is also a reward. If you work hard, you may not be hopeless as a baron.

Therefore, Rock asked Ada to remit [-] pounds to Winston, and asked Winston to help with activities.

For this kind of thing, if you work hard, you may not succeed, and if you don't work hard, it will definitely not work. Even if Winston's activities fail, Roque will not want the money. Winston is worthy of Roque's investment.

This is actually a joint relationship, because Winston will also expand Winston's own network while helping Rock's activities.

"Thank you Locke, that's why I'm willing to drink coffee with you." Owen knew what Rock was talking about. Although Owen didn't want to see Phyllis and Rock get entangled, Owen didn't feel disgusted either.

It's useless to be disgusted with this kind of thing. Women don't matter big or small, and it's useless to be stubborn.

Fortunately, Rock is a good person. Owen does not object to Rock and Phyllis being together. It is just because of worldly eyes that Owen is worried that Phyllis will face too much pressure in the future.

Rock picked up the cup to greet Owen, took a sip of the cup and before putting it down, someone suddenly greeted him.

"Hi, Owen—" The voice was a little hoarse, probably because he had just woken up.

It's almost noon now.

Rock wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that Owen's face was a little pale.

"Good morning, Henry—" Owen glanced at Roque, his eyes seemed a little worried.

Worry?

Henry?

Roque seemed to understand something.

Sure enough, Henry asked Phyllis: "Is Phyllis better? I still want to ask her out to play—"

better?

Is Phyllis sick?

Roque hadn't heard Owen say that if Phyllis was sick, even if Owen didn't tell Roque, Henry would tell Roque.

Well, that Henry of the Matildas.

"Where are you going? The miners' club?" Owen's face was ugly.

Every man in Johannesburg knows what the Miners Club is.

"Hehe, it's like you've never been there before." Henry sat down on the chair next to him carelessly before seeing Rock.

Rock noticed keenly that when Henry saw Rock, his eyes shrank for a moment.

"Owen, why don't you introduce me?" Henry looked up and down Rock with unscrupulous eyes, which was very impolite.

Because it was not working hours, Rock did not wear a police uniform, but a white shirt and black trousers.

Although it looks casual and simple in this way, in the eyes of some people, it is close to slovenliness.

"Well, Locke, this is Henry Alsop from London—Henry, this is Superintendent Locke, Chief of the Johannesburg Police Department." Owen's tendency was obvious.

Henry didn't mean to shake hands, and Roque didn't reach out, or even smiled, just looking at Henry quietly.

After a long while, Henry raised his hand as if suddenly realizing: "Superintendent Locke, nice to meet you—"

Rock thought that Henry was about to shake hands, so he raised his hand slowly.

As a result, Henry stretched his hand halfway, and actually raised it to wipe his forehead: "It's too hot——"

Hot your sister!

Fortunately, Rock stretched his hand slowly, otherwise, he would have been slapped in the face properly.

Rock didn't make any extra movements, his raised hand paused, and he nodded at Henry with his index finger.

Remember me!

Henry changed his face immediately: "What do you mean?"

"That's what you think it means!" Rock didn't care whether Henry was from aristocratic background. Judging from Owen's attitude towards Henry, even if Henry was from noble background, he was at most a baron.

Baron, Rock really doesn't care. Barons like Baron Philip who can serve as senior officials in the colonies are already rare. Ordinary barons basically have no sense of existence. What's more, this is Johannesburg, not London. , Rock tied his hands and feet, and don't do that work.

"Bastard, how dare you be so presumptuous!" Henry probably didn't expect Rock to be so tough.

"My respect is only reserved for those worthy of respect. Your little tricks don't show how noble you are. It can only prove that your elders are irresponsible in educating you." Rock The voice is not high, and the speaking speed is not fast, which is a sign of self-confidence.

"Asshole, do you dare to insult my family?" Henry lost his composure.

"It's you who humiliated yourself." Roque didn't talk nonsense, because there was no room for relaxation between Phyllis, Roque and this Henry.

boom!

Henry stood up from the chair, and the chair was brought down to the ground, making a harsh sound.

The eyes of the entire coffee shop were attracted.

The two strong men on the table next to him immediately got up and stared at Henry. One of them had already put his hand into his suit jacket.

The two were officers from the Johannesburg Police Service.

"Mr. Locke, do you need help?" The manager of the coffee shop came over immediately, without looking at Henry, his eyes were on Rock.

Rock didn't reply, and shook his head at the manager with a slight smile.

The manager glanced at Henry with anger and pity, then smiled at Rock ingratiatingly and walked away, but he didn't go too far.

"This is Johannesburg, not London." Rock was speechless, why some people always feel good about themselves.

"This is England, not the Qing Dynasty. You'd better be prepared to go back to the Qing Dynasty in despair. You don't belong here, and don't expect things you don't deserve." Henry said, although his face was a little pale, I can still hold on.

"The last guy who talked to me like this, the grass on the grave was probably three feet high—" Rock understated it.

In fact, they were all pretending. The last person who spoke to Rock like this was Arnold, and he was doing well.

"Okay, very good, just wait, just wait—" Henry was so angry that his fingers were trembling, and he strode away angrily without saying hello to Owen.

Rock glanced at Owen and found that this guy was actually laughing.

　After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t find a reason to add updates, and suddenly found that the monthly ticket is 350, so this chapter is for the 350 monthly ticket to add updates——
