Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 25 A Diamond Is Forever

"Wrong? No, it's not wrong. The rebels should be arrested, and the smugglers should also be arrested. Moreover, arresting smugglers and cracking down on smuggling is our main job." Henry was not satisfied with Rock's report, and the rebels Everyone is poor, rich people don't risk their lives, and catching smugglers is rewarding. The smugglers in Cape Town either smuggle gold or diamonds, no matter which one is very valuable.

"And your statistics are also problematic. They didn't smuggle 25 kilograms of gold, but [-] kilograms." Henry still had a lot of dissatisfaction, and Rock still didn't understand the level of greed of the British.

Rock instantly petrified. Although Rock knew that Henry might be greedy for some gold, Rock didn't expect Henry's appetite to be so big.

In fact, Rock's appetite is not small. The total gold seized at the scene was 60 kilograms. Rock only reported [-] kilograms. He thought he was black enough, but Henry's appetite was even bigger, and he was even blacker than blacks.

"Yes, our people made a mistake. It is indeed 25 kilograms. Please forgive their ignorance. They haven't learned how to measure." Rock corrected when he knew his mistake. The more greedy Henry was, the better. With such a boss, Rock can make a fortune.

Sure enough, Henry did not forget Roque's contribution, he only took away [-] kilograms of gold, and left [-] kilograms for Roque.

Rock can understand that Henry also has a lot of work to do. For example, Austin Burns' share must also be filial. It is already very good to leave five kilograms for Rock.

Back in the dormitory, Anton and the others gathered in Rock's dormitory, staring at the ten gleaming gold ingots with dry mouth, and turned a blind eye to the champagne that they used to covet.

Yes, after being promoted to the commando deputy captain, Rock already had his own single dormitory, and it was even a suite, which should have belonged to a certain colonial officer before.

The suite is fully furnished, and Roque does not need to buy it alone, and Roque is not stingy, and has prepared a lot of champagne and cigars in the living room.

"What's the matter? What are you doing sitting around?" Rock was very curious, and hadn't understood what the gold meant to Anton and the others.

"Head, what does the captain say?" Luo Yi was the most anxious, looking at Rock with irritated eyes.

"What else can I say, the captain said that what we seized was not 25 kilograms, but [-] kilograms, so now we have an extra five kilograms." Locke casually threw five ingots of gold on the coffee table, and there was a loud clang. According to Anton and Luo Yi, this is the most beautiful sound.

"Fuck, the foreign devils are really dishonest. We worked hard, but in the end they took the lead." Luo scolded angrily, and Anton immediately slapped Luo on the forehead.

"Be content, it's not Locke, and I don't have any of these now." Anton is not greedy, 2000 kilograms of gold is more than [-] pounds, what else can he think: "Old rules, Master Luo takes [-]% - no, [-]%, the rest Let's divide again."

With the rise of Roque, the proportion of the share is also rising. 7.5 kilograms of gold are worth 1038 pounds. There are 16 commandos in total, and each person can get close to 65 pounds. You can earn that much in a year.

"Brothers who have not yet been naturalized should become naturalized as soon as possible. You see, there are still good days waiting for us. The house I bought the day before yesterday was only 100 pounds. If it were in my Qing dynasty, we would be miserable, and we would not be able to live in it even in our dreams. In a house like that." Rock did not object to such a distribution plan, and he borrowed a lot of money from his brothers when he bought the house, and now it happened to be repaid together.

"Go to the immigration office later."

"Master Luo is mighty!"

"If you want to enter, if you want to enter, it costs five pounds a month. Here in Cape Town, one acre of land can't use up to one pound."

The "mu" here is an acre, and one acre is almost equivalent to six acres in the Qing Dynasty. Even if one acre costs one pound, without considering the gray income, after naturalization in Cape Town, the monthly salary can buy nearly thirty Acres of land, at this rate, within a few years, all Chinese police officers will be farmers.

What's more, for the police, the gray income is much higher than the normal income. Today, each person can get 65 pounds for one operation. This kind of operation two or three times a year is enough. The smugglers in Cape Town simply don't care too much Compared with the hundreds of tons of gold mined in South Africa every year, only a small number of smugglers have been caught by the police.

After finishing the dirty work, Rock stopped by the temporary resting place. From a distance, he saw someone wandering around the temporary resting place. It was Zach who couldn't speak.

"Any news?" Rock was a little surprised. Compared with the other three informants, Zach couldn't even speak, so the chances of getting news were even smaller, but Zack was the first to come to Rock, which made Luo Ke K was surprised.

Zach nodded again and again, and followed Rock into the temporary resting place. Zach took out a pencil and a sticky note from his pocket, and wrote respectfully on the sticky note: "Someone asked me to inquire about the patrol route of the police. Sam Francis of the Titus Mining Company."

That's right, it's still a question of whether the other people can be trusted by the Boers, but Zach doesn't have this hidden danger. After all, in anyone's eyes, Zack and the British have a deep hatred, and it is impossible to cooperate with the British.

"Who is Sam Francis? What does he do? Who started the Titus Mining Company?" Rock asked a series of questions. Fortunately, although Zach couldn't speak, he had no hearing problems.

"Sam Francis is French. He is an employee of the Titus Mining Company. As for the Titus Mining Company, his owner seems to be Cecil Rhodes." Zach seemed educated, writing The words were still in cursive, which made Rock even more curious.

In fact, there is nothing to be curious about. The West has long had a complete education system. The University of Bologna, the oldest university in Europe, was founded in 1088, the University of Oxford was founded in 1167, and the Cape University of Good Hope, the earliest institution of higher learning in Cape Town, was founded in 1873. So it's normal for Zach to have a modern education, a lot of white people in Cape Town have a modern education, even those Boers.

As for Cecil Rhodes, this man is a Cape legend. He was the former Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. The name gave the region Rhodesia, the start of the Second Boer War by Cecil Rhodes.

In addition to politics, Cecil Rhodes has also made great achievements in business. His company has monopolized the diamond mining in Kimberley. Rhodes.

Cecil Rhodes was involved, which was beyond the scope of Rock's handling. Rock fulfilled his promise, gave Zach a pound, and hurried back to the police station to report to Henry.

Let the British deal with the British affairs.
