Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 19 Robben Island

"Why go to those prisoners in those prisons? If we need Boers as eyeliners, then we also have Boers in our commando." Henry didn't understand why Roque wanted to hit those lowly prisoners. There were four in the commando. Members of Boer origin, they can also mix in among the Boers to inquire about news.

The Boers are not all descendants of the Dutch, there are also descendants of the Germans, French descendants, etc. As long as they are whites who have lived in Cape Town before the British colonized Cape Town, the British will classify them as to the Boers.

Although the Boers have established their own country, it does not mean that there are no Boers in Cape Town. In fact, there are more than [-] people in Cape Town, most of whom are Boers. In order to rule Cape Town, the British even A colonial force composed of Boers was established. It is normal to have Boer policemen in the police station. There are not many pure British in Cape Town. Without relying on the Boers, the British could not colonize Cape Town.

Of course, because of the country established by the Boers, the loyalty of the British to the Boers has always been in doubt, so the police station will hire police officers from India and the Qing Dynasty. This cannot completely solve the problem, but at least it can solve most of the problems.

"The Boers in the commandos are not available, they are definitely ostracized among the Boers, those Boers know they are the police, they don't give them the right information, and do you see a problem, with so many attacks, But no Boer police were attacked, what does that mean?" Rock didn't trust the Boers, he didn't trust the Indians, and he didn't even dare to give [-]% trust to the Chinese police.

It is a very helpless fact that in Cape Town, the people Rock can really trust are the British, because the British are the rulers, and they have no reason to collude with the Boers.

"Is there a mole inside us?" Henry was still naive, and immediately blurted out.

"I didn't say that. You can't talk nonsense without evidence, but we have to take some precautions." Rock was taken aback. Henry could say this, but Rock couldn't.

"It must be so. Those rioters only attacked Indian policemen and Chinese policemen. When the patrols are all made up of Boers, those people will be more unscrupulous. We must catch them." Henry gritted his teeth, this is Rock Reasons to trust the British.

The location of the prison is on Robben Island off the coast of Cape Town. It was originally a concentration camp for exiled lepers. After the British colonized Cape Town, they transformed Robben Island into a prison, but the lepers on the island were not removed. There are still lepers on this island.

For the British, Robben Island was a restricted area, and Henry refused to board the ship at the pier, leaving all the rights of the informant to Rock.

"Captain, there are leprosy patients on the island, we have to be careful." Henry had a choice, but the other two Chinese policemen who were named by Roque had no choice. Tang En, who was over 1.8 meters tall and weighed over [-], was a little bit sweet. Trembling with terror, he looked at the captain of the ferry as he spoke, as if he were a leper.

"Don't worry, if other people can go, we can go. There are our colleagues on the island, so it's fine." Rock is not too worried. Since there are ordinary people on the island, it proves that leprosy has been brought under control. As for Whether the British have this ability, Rock believes that the British have.

The simple fact that all lepers are sent to Robben Island and then isolated, they have no one to visit and can never return to the mainland, it is like disappearing from this world, Rock is not even sure, the island Are there any lepers in the world?

Looking at Robben Island from a distance, it is quiet and peaceful, with lush vegetation, among the lush woods, you can faintly see the barbed wire on the top of the wall, and the road leading to the prison is hardened with stones. There are no horse-drawn carriages on the island, and Rock and the others can only walk to the prison.

"Hey, cowboys, have you been assigned to gopher hunting?" On the tower next to the pier, a guard with a gun greeted Rock and the others. Rock's wide-brimmed hat really looked like a cowboy hat.

Whack-a-mole?

What kind of work is this?

"No, we're here to interrogate a few prisoners, what are you doing up there?" Rock was a little curious, it didn't look like there were a lot of gophers on this island.

"Hunting, it's very cool. Do you want to try it? No matter what you want, you can fight it." The guard on the tower was not very happy, and his voice revealed self-defeating.

Rock immediately understood what whack-a-mole was. This was the British plan to control leprosy. As long as anyone approached the pier, he would be shot and killed by the police on the tower. It was simple and crude, but very effective.

"I wish you a good time." Rock gestured his middle finger, and left without responding to the guard's scolding.

After staying here for a long time, people are perverted. Rock is very grateful to August Russell for not arranging Chinese policemen as guards on Robben Island.

Rock didn't have much sympathy for those lepers. This era is like this. In the era when human lives are worthless, there was the Black Death in the past, and the concentration camps in the future. The performance of the British in the Second Boer War ** It's not much better, no one has the right to sympathize with anyone, Roque's motherland is still experiencing collective aggression by eight countries, although Roque doesn't like my Qing Dynasty, but Roque doesn't want my Qing Dynasty to be invaded by foreign enemies.

Those who suffer are the common people.

The warden and assistant warden of the prison are all British, but they never go to Robben Island. Rock found the actual manager of the prison, Fred Sinclair, whose police rank is also a sheriff. people.

"What do you want a burglar for?" Fred Sinclair, who had checked Austin Burns' warrant for Rock, was just chatting away.

"It's not a simple thief. It must be a prisoner who has family members in Cape Town and has a remaining sentence of no more than one year. I have a special job that requires their cooperation." Rock just explained casually, and there is no need to go into details.

Although Rock's requirements are high, there are many such people. The entire Robben Island covers an area of ​​more than 13 square kilometers. The prison area only occupies a small part, but there are more than [-] prisoners held here, and they are all held in dungeons. In other words, they were imprisoned at Rock's feet.

"There are only four, and a few of them are already dying. I don't think you need to waste your time." Fred Sinclair was very efficient and quickly brought four human skeletons.

They are really human-shaped skeletons. They hardly wear any clothes, but they can’t see the original color of their skin. The thick dirt is like fish scales all over the body, and they emit a disgusting stench. After being taken out of the cell, this The four of them knelt down in a row, with their hands folded behind their heads, without any resistance.

Rock doubted whether they could complete the task.

　The sad Yutou didn't even make it to the test this week. Brothers, can you cast a vote to comfort Yutou's broken heart, poor grades and no status——
