Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 243 Promoting the Meaning of Language

Behind all miracles is the history of blood and tears of a certain group.

Behind the American Pacific Railway is the history of blood and tears of the Chinese laborers. Behind Rhodesia is the history of blood and tears of thousands of Zulus. This is normal. Rock’s mission is to prevent the tragedy of the American Chinese laborers from repeating itself in Johannesburg.

Henry and Stoudemire didn't care much about Neville. After all, they didn't know that Neville would become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the future. The future is not Neville, but Austin Chamberlain, who has already served as Post and Telecommunications Secretary.

Austin Chamberlain is not yet 40 years old, and he does seem to have a promising future, but Austin Chamberlain has never been prime minister. The brightest moment in his life was winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925.

The crux of the problem is that Austin Chamberlain is now the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, and it is too late for Rock to invest in Austin Chamberlain, so Neville Chamberlain is worthy of Rock's investment, which is why Rock invited Neville for afternoon tea.

"The iron ore needs to be slowed down first. We don't have enough workers. The cement plant has just started trial production. I sent all the cement produced in the first batch to the reservoir. The technicians from the cement plant followed and got the test data. Improve it later, and don’t forget to ask Scarlett to pay for it.” Henry’s brothers settled the accounts clearly, the cement plant was invested by Henry and Rock, and each of them made half of the profit.

"It's on the account first, and I don't have any money for the time being." All of Roque's money has been used to immigrate and invest in farms, and he can only use the gold in the basement to pay.

"No money? I can find a way." Stoudemire hypocritically.

Henry and Rock looked at each other, and then Henry entered the sage time: "For trial, forget it, no money—"

Stoudemire was not angry, and happily drank black tea: "Locke, I brought some guests, you may be interested in them."

guest?

"Who?" Rock was surprised. It was necessary for Rock to meet someone worthy of Stoudemire's recommendation.

Stoudemire signaled to Victor who was not far away, and after a while, Victor brought a few timid Zulus.

Not to mention Henry, Neville is frowning now, Zulu people are not suitable to appear on such occasions.

Stoudemire didn't care, and drank black tea by himself.

Rock didn't care either. These Zulus had strange patterns painted on their faces, similar to the Yao people that Rock had seen in Portuguese East Africa.

Sure enough, several Yao people came to kiss Luo Ke's hand.

The Yao people have a hand-kissing ceremony?

Rock endured the discomfort and accepted the hand kisses that were said to be from several chiefs, and then Stoudemire laughed loudly.

Sure enough, this guy is playing tricks!

"Check, Nyasaland will belong to Sir Locke in the future, so if you need it, you can ask Sir Locke for help." Stoudemire dispelled Rock's killing intent lightly.

"Sir Locke, the Yao people will be your most loyal servants from now on." Chacha knelt down at Rock's feet and kissed Rock's shoes, which seemed to be their etiquette.

Cha Cha is the youngest of several Yao people. I don't know why he became the patriarch of the Yao family.

"Check, what is your biggest difficulty now?" Rock did not shy away from Henry and Neville, which was also a way to show his strength.

"We need weapons and ammunition, as well as warriors who have actually experienced combat. As long as we have enough supplies, we can drive the evil Portuguese out of Mozambique and restore the Mweni Matapa Kingdom." Chacha is full of confidence Last year, the Yao people just won a big victory and drove all the Portuguese to the coastal areas. Unfortunately, the Yao people did not have enough stamina. After the Portuguese urgently dispatched reinforcements from the mainland, the Yao people's resistance failed again.

"I can help you, but what can I get?" Luo Ke didn't think that if he helped the Yao people, the Yao people would really become Luo Ke's loyal servants.

Even if Chacha is Rock's loyal servant, what about Chacha's son?Where is the grandson?What about the sons and grandsons of the tribe?Are you willing to be Rock's loyal servant from generation to generation?

Stop kidding, it's impossible.

"The great Cecil Rhodes said that you want an outlet to the sea. If you can help us, then the land on both sides of the Shire River will be yours after the Mweni Matapa Kingdom is restored." Chacha I don't think this is a loss, it's just an equivalent exchange.

Rock was very satisfied with this exchange, and immediately asked Li De to find Yaya.

"Sir Locke, who are you?" Neville didn't understand why Rock valued these Zulus. According to the habits of the British, the Zulus were not worthy of negotiating deals with the British.

"Arthur, this is Africa, which is different from the mainland. Here, if we want to do something, we must use the strength of the Zulu people as much as possible. Don't underestimate them, give them a little trust, and they will give you what you want. An unexpected surprise." Rock explained as much as possible, and these words will eventually be passed on to Joseph Chamberlain.

In this regard, Roque, like Cecil Rhodes, also pursued the rule of barbarians against barbarians.

Cecil Rhodes is definitely a powerful colonist. Rock can't fault the plan he designed, so Rock can continue to implement it.

Portugal does not dare to offend the United Kingdom, and always follows the lead of the United Kingdom in international affairs, so neither Cecil Rhodes nor Roque can deal with the Portuguese openly, otherwise it will cause protests from the Portuguese government. Using the Yao people to fight against the Portuguese is a Good idea, with the support of Nyasaland, it is very difficult for the Portuguese to suppress the resistance of the Yao people. When the Portuguese can't hold on, they will ask the British government to intervene. In other words, they will surrender to Roque.

At that time, Roque can make a condition, and the Portuguese will accept it even if he pinches his nose.

"That's right, all the people employed in my cement factory are Zulu people. When Rock made this decision, I didn't think it was necessary. Looking at it now, it is indeed necessary, although I don't know that the dust in the cement factory is harmful What is the impact on the human body, but working in that environment for a long time—" Henry didn't say anything about the consequences, shaking his head was obviously very pessimistic.

There is no way to be optimistic. Now that the cement plant has just started operation, even if the working environment will affect people's health, it will take many years to show up. Now that there are no cases, it does not mean that there will be no impact. With the current working environment, It is estimated that the workers in the cement factory will have to be replaced every five years at most, so it is very wise for Rock not to use Chinese.

"The cement plant will affect the health of the workers." Neville was still naive.

Rock, Henry, and Stoudemire looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

Of course it has influence, everyone knows it has influence, but is it necessary to say it?

Even if workers do get sick due to poor sanitation in the future, the cement factory will deny it flatly. If they admit it, they will lose money and face serious public opinion. The capitalists will not ask for trouble.

"Arthur, it's not important. The important thing is that we can use the Zulu people to achieve our goals." Rock has a hard heart, and it is enough for Phyllis to do good deeds. Rock's task is to get more money. Let Phyllis have more capital to do good things.

Yaya came over soon and stood beside Rock with a submissive face.

Rock gave a series of instructions, Yaya gave a series of yes and yes, and then Yaya and Chacha, who had been waiting not far away, left side by side. Rock will convey to Chacha through Yaya, Stay out of it, leave nothing behind

Isn't there someone in the detective team who is dissatisfied with his current position?

Now that the problem is solved, the Yao people are working hard to restore the kingdom of Mweni Matapa. Those detectives who are not satisfied with their status can go and fight side by side with the Yao people to build a country purely composed of Zulu people. You have fought bloody battles, are you satisfied this time?

Henry and Stoudemire's handling of Rock is commonplace, and Neville looked thoughtful. Today's incident gave Neville a great impact. Neville knew that, similar to the situation in Portuguese East Africa, the British Empire Colonies are also very common. Joseph Chamberlain is worried about these things every day. Seeing how Rock handles this kind of thing today, Neville knows that there is another way to deal with this kind of thing.

Early the next morning, Joseph Chamberlain was going to Bigwig Town for inspection, and Rock was accompanying him as the person in charge of security for Joseph Chamberlain and his party. As soon as they left Johannesburg, Joseph Chamberlain called Rock to his side.

"Sir Locke, Bigwig Town is your private property?" Joseph's riding skills were good, and he didn't ride in a carriage.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the town of Bigwig used to be called Krugersdorp. It was destroyed by fire during the war. I bought the farms around Bigwig and rebuilt it on the original site of Krugersdorp. Town." Rock carefully controlled Sun, not letting Sun overtake Joseph's horse.

"Why not Krugersdorp?" Joseph had no expression on his face.

"Why is it still called Krugersdorp? Do the Boers miss this name?" Rock was indifferent. If possible, Rock would like to change the names of Johannesburg and Pretoria.

"Sir Locke, you seem to have a deep prejudice against the Boers." Joseph was studying Rock's expression.

"No, I like all peace-loving Boers. What I hate are those Boers who are unwilling to be lonely and cause trouble. It is the same when applying this standard to other ethnic groups. There are also many Boers in Bigwig Town. Your Excellency will tell you later Got it." Rock firmly refused to admit that he had a prejudice against the Boers, and now the Boers are also British.

When the group arrived at Bigwig Town, Bigwig Town, which had already heard the news, was ready to welcome them. Headed by Mayor Buck, Professor Abu, Professor Douglas, Father Frank, Dr. Bellamy, Dr. Mallory and others were all there. Waiting at the gate of Bigwig Public School.

Rock only introduced Buck, and the rest of the introductions were all done by Buck.

Joseph's expression was a bit complicated when he saw Buck, but after hearing Roque's introduction that Buck graduated from University College London, Joseph's expression changed to relief.

Barker, who graduated from University College London, and Barker from Mauritius are two completely different concepts.

To say that the current Bigwig Town is indeed full of talents, there are professors from the Royal Gloucester College of Agriculture, medical experts from the University of Heidelberg in Germany, and Dr. Bellamy and Dr. Mallory, who are both Boers. When Buck introduced the identities of Dr. Bellamy and Dr. Mallory, Rock's rumors against the Boers proved self-evident.

God knows how many eye drops Louie Botha and Jan Smoltz put on Rock in Orange, and now both Louis Botha and Jan Smuts are in Johannesburg with Joseph Chamberlain to visit In Ziwei Town, the faces of these two people are very ugly.

It’s really ugly. If Rock hadn’t stepped in, the beautiful Bigglow Town would have been a paradise for the Boers. Louis Botha and Jan Smother wouldn’t have thought about who built the current Biggweed Town. Will only think that Rock picked the peaches of the Boers.

The first stop of Joseph's inspection was Bigwig College.

Thanks to Rock’s strict health standards, the children of Bigwig have put on neat uniforms. In Johannesburg in March, it is autumn, and the school uniforms of Bigwig in autumn are checkered suits and Scottish checks. The short skirt surprised Joseph. He probably did not expect that there would be a school with such strong English characteristics in Johannesburg.

Joseph Chamberlain is an expert in education. In 1892, Joseph Chamberlain single-handedly promoted the merger of Birmingham Medical School, established in 1825, and the Mason School of Science, established in 1875. Two years ago, the merged school was named Birmingham University of Birmingham, and obtained the royal charter granted by Queen Victoria, who was still alive at the time, and the University of Birmingham also became the first "red brick university" in the UK.

Today, Joseph is also serving as the president of the University of Birmingham. Even though Joseph has served as the colonial minister, Joseph has not given up this position.

"There are 1300 students in the Boys' and Girls' Schools at Bigvestia Public School, more than one-third of whom are of Boer descent. In addition to the children of the surrounding farmers, some of the students are from Johannesburg, and some even come from Pretoria. Ya sent their children to Bigwig Public School to study—" Tony, as the principal of Bigwig Public School, explained to Joseph beside Joseph.

It was a fitting arrangement, for Tony, being a pure Englishman, was perfectly qualified to educate Boer children.

Joseph nodded again and again, full of appreciation for Tony, and also visited a music class of Bigwig Public School with great interest.

The music class taught a traditional British nursery rhyme "Go to the Market". The lyrics roughly read: Go to the market, go to the market, and buy a big fat pig;

It is a very simple nursery rhyme, but its meaning is extraordinary, because it is an English nursery rhyme, but whether it is an English student, a Boer student or a Chinese student, they all sing it very skillfully.

what does this mean?

It means that Bigwei Public School is making unremitting efforts to promote English.

As an education expert, Joseph Chamberlain knew the significance of doing so.
