Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 196

Life is made up of countless accidents. Optimistic people see life full of opportunities, while pessimistic people see life full of despair.

The reactivation of abandoned gold mines and the discovery of new gold mines can actually be regarded as accidents. It is said that it is very rare for such situations to happen continuously.

But "rare" does not mean that there is no such thing. It is also a small probability that a house is hit by a meteorite. Someone's house is hit by a meteorite five times in a row. This kind of thing cannot be explained at all.

If the same thing happened to Roque, then probably it can only be explained by "the Chosen One" or "the protagonist's halo".

Of course Harry and Henry certainly don't think so.

"You mean, you bought two farms, one of which had an abandoned gold mine, and it turned out that the gold mine was still worth mining, and on the other farm, a new gold mine was directly discovered, Is that so?" Henry Alsop said this in a teasing tone, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Yes, that's it." Rock didn't laugh. This was the truth. There was nothing funny about it. People who bought lottery tickets and lost money insisted that lottery tickets were a scam, but there was still an endless stream of people buying lottery tickets every day.

"Do you think we will believe it? Don't take us for fools!" Henry Alsop couldn't laugh anymore, and looked down at Rock viciously.

"No one takes you for a fool. If you don't believe me, ask Director Henry." Rock was not in a hurry. The more frustrated Henry Alsop was, the calmer Rock was.

This is the meaning of Henry's coming forward to buy the farm. Rock has no title and is of Chinese descent. Although he holds a high position, he is still not worth mentioning in front of the nobles.

Henry is different. Backed by the Matilda family, Henry has enough confidence to compete with anyone. If Harry and Henry imagine dealing with Henry of the Matilda family as they did with Roque, then they must consider Lord Matilda's fight back.

"Director Locke, we will verify the authenticity of your words. Before reaching a conclusion, please do not leave Johannesburg and cooperate with our investigation at any time." Baron Mahanlais did not insist on going his own way.

"Okay." Rock was not in a hurry, without the cooperation of the police station, the investigation team wanted to verify?

Dream on, this ain't London.

Baron Mahanlais really didn't expect that Rock was so difficult to deal with.

Watching Rock leave the office, Baron Mahanlais had a solemn expression.

"Father, why don't you lock him up, he will definitely destroy the evidence when he goes back now, lock him up, and then I will take someone to search this guy's office and his gold mine, this guy must be lying." Rock As soon as he left, Henry Alsop couldn't wait.

"What qualifications do you have to search the office of a chief of police?" Baron Mahanlais said with an ugly expression.

"Uh, qualifications—" Henry Alsop only then remembered the question.

"Is this the flimsy chief of police you mentioned? Is this the empire moth full of loopholes you mentioned? Is this the despicable yellow man you call uninformed? Stupid!" So difficult, and—

His own son is so unreliable.

"The yellow man is indeed a moth—" Henry Alsop felt misunderstood.

"Okay, even if this yellow man is a moth, how do you prove it?" Baron Mahanlais didn't care about Roque, what he cared about was teaching his son a lesson.

"We can search his office—" Henry Alsop didn't think about this question at all. He probably thought that if he called Rock over to bluff and bluff, Rock would be caught without a fight.

"Stupid! Let's not talk about whether you are qualified to search the office of a police chief. What if you can't find the so-called criminal evidence?" Baron Mahanlais pressed on.

"How could it not be found? The yellow man must have evidence of his crime in his office." Henry Alsop refused to admit defeat.

"What if there is no such thing?" Baron Mahanlais would not be reckless.

"—" Henry Alsop looked confused, he hadn't thought about this question at all.

"If there is no evidence, then we will search the Locke Gold Mine." Henry Alsop finally found a breakthrough.

"What if no evidence is found in the Locke Gold Mine? Then the next step is to search Baron Matilda's mansion?" Baron Mahanlais's face was full of disappointment, his family is unfortunate——

"It's impossible for the baron to shield a yellow man." Henry Alsop was lost.

"Wake up, the yellow man you are talking about is the Johannesburg police chief. If you want to live in Johannesburg, you have to give a police chief enough respect, whether you like him or not. What's more, this police chief is Doing business in partnership with the baron, being as close as brothers with the baron's son, and having a close relationship with the baron's daughter—" Baron Mahanlais continued to press.

"Stop it—" cried Henry Alsop in pain.

"Go back and reflect. If you can't figure it out, then go back to Mahanley and never come out." Baron Mahanley didn't leave any room for Henry Alsop. Mahanley is Mahanley The fief of Baron Si, an unknown small town, without high-society receptions, and without all kinds of charming dancers, for Henry Alsop, Mahanlais is almost like a prison.

"No!" Henry Alsop slammed the door fiercely and left.

Back at the police station, Rock picked up the phone and called Cecil Rhodes Jr.

"They're investigating you?" Cecil Rhodes Jr. was thought of, and Rock actually became the subject of the investigation.

"Yes, just now Baron Mahanlais called me to interrogate me for a long time. I thought he would lock me up." Rock didn't expect that he would pass the test so easily.

"Hehe, Baron Mahanlais is not an ignorant young man. He will not arrest a police chief for no reason, and he does not have this power." Cecil Rhodes Jr. did not release Baron Mahanlais. In my heart, the results of the investigation of Cecil Rhodes during this period show that the outbreak of the Second Boer War has nothing to do with Cecil Rhodes.

In other words, Cecil Rhodes was not responsible for the Second Boer War.

In fact, this result was doomed long ago. With Cecil Rhodes' power in Johannesburg, it would be hell if the investigation team could find out the results. The real purpose of the investigation team in Congress was not to sit on the ground Cyr Rhodes' crime, but for a gesture to the public.

A gesture that really works for it.

As for the result-

Not important, really not important.

"A German priest is still locked up in the police station. Do you know about this?" Roque didn't bother much, as long as Cecil Rhodes Jr. knew how much Roque was a favor.

"Don't worry, let him go when the time is right, and then I will deal with it." Cecil Rhodes Jr. is not afraid of William II, and if Cecil Rhodes Jr. is willing, Cecil Rhodes Jr. will even Can start a war against German South West Africa.

Of course, Cecil Rhodes Jr. just has power. In fact, as long as Cecil Rhodes Jr. is not crazy, he will not do this.

"Let's talk about it after the investigation team has left." Rock didn't want to make trouble.

"Baron Mahanlais is not expected to leave. He may stay in Pretoria as the Deputy Governor of Transvaal." Cecil Rhodes Jr. provided a new message, and his message was indeed Biro Ke is more well-informed.

Rock felt a little depressed. The Transvaal, and all the four Cape colonies, felt like they had almost become a garbage dump, and no matter what kind of goods they could get involved.

After hanging up the phone, Rock was in a bad mood, so he simply left the police station and went to the Rock Gold Mine.

Everything in the gold mine is normal, because not all workers need to go down the mine because of the need to control production. There are currently 1000 workers in the Rock Gold Mine, and only about [-] people go down the mine in each shift. There are three shifts a day, and the workers can get the most rest. The output of the mine has not decreased but increased, and the daily output exceeds a thousand ounces.

With such a high output, it may be the gold mine with the largest output in Johannesburg. It is impossible to sell all of them. According to Roque's order, Buck only sells gold that can be used for the normal operation of the gold mine, and the rest of the gold is hidden in the basement inside.

In order to ensure the safety of the gold mine, the security team under Iron Hook has increased to 500 people, of which 300 are permanent members, and the remaining 200 are rotated every other month. Rock's ultimate goal is to let all the miners in the gold mine Can receive a certain degree of military training.

In his spare time, Buck would organize workers who did not have the task of going down the well to develop the farms around the gold mine, open up wasteland, plant trees, build roads, build houses, repair canals, etc., as long as he is willing to find, there are always endless jobs.

The results are of course huge. In the current Bigwig Town, there are no less than [-] Bigwig trees inside and outside the town. Around Bigwig Town, on both sides of the road from Locke Gold Mine to Bigwig Town, and on both sides of the road from Bigwig Town to Johannesburg , are all planted with Biggonia trees, and in October and November, the Bigglow trees will enter the flowering period, and the Biggweiss Town will live up to its name by then.

"We have developed nearly [-] acres of land around the gold mine. Professor Douglas suggested that alfalfa and potatoes can be planted, but Professor Douglas is not sure how much the yield will be, so we still need to verify that Hawley has already Some results have been achieved--" Buck accompanied Rock to inspect the farm, and Hawley was also there.

"Potatoes haven't been planted yet, but alfalfa can definitely be grown. I planted 400 acres of alfalfa and raised nearly 100 merino sheep and more than 25 shorthorn cattle. On average, one acre of alfalfa can raise 5 sheep, or There are [-] Angus cows, and there are too many alfalfas to eat. I plan to expand the scale of the breeding. By this time next year, the scale can be almost doubled—” Holly is now full of confidence, which no one thought before. Running a farm is surprisingly profitable.
