Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 258 Thank God

General Hopkins is Henry's father-in-law. After the "Peace Agreement" was signed, the expeditionary force began to withdraw. Ade transferred a servant division from the Cape to the Transvaal, led by General Hopkins, and became the Transvaal Wat's garrison.

It is necessary to retain a garrison in the Transvaal. Although the Boer Republic has been wiped out, Britain's greatest enemy in southern Africa has disappeared, but considering the surrounding Portuguese and Germans, the Boers and Zulus already in the territory Chinese, even Chinese, it is necessary to maintain a garrison in the Transvaal, although the cost of the garrison is borne by the Transvaal government.

Since money is spent and soldiers are raised, they must play a role. In the era of no war, the army is also one of the responsibilities of the garrison to assist the government in maintaining law and order.

Before going to General Hopkins, Rock went to Henry first.

Henry finally embraced the beauty, and now he is enjoying the spring breeze. Rock used to come to Pretoria, and Henry wanted to take Rock to the restaurant of the police station for dinner. Now there is no need. Lacey's cooking skills are still very good, although compared to Not as good as Ma Wen, but not too far behind.

"Ha, do you know what I want to tell you? You deserve it!" Henry knew that Rock had been scolded, and taunted him mercilessly.

"You know what a fart, a subordinate who doesn't make mistakes is not a good subordinate. If you do one thing perfectly, how can you reflect the wisdom and martial arts of the superior?" Rock is not polite, no matter what, Rock can find a bunch of Unreasonable.

In fact, it can't be said to be unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, Rock's words would still make sense, but this time, Rock's sting was a bit big, so it seemed particularly unreasonable.

Henry was shocked by Roque's specious theory. Although he thought it was not the case in his heart, he thought that Roque's words made some sense, so he could only fundamentally overturn it: "So I'm still very wise and mighty." !"

Not to mention Rock now, even Lacey couldn't help but laugh. This self-feeling is too good.

If Rock's words are correct, then Henry's words are also true. Henry is indeed Rock's superior, and he is also the immediate boss.

It's just that Henry, no matter how you look at it, has nothing to do with being wise and powerful. Lacey seized the time to make a villain.

It is said that Baron Farwalt also has a big family now, and he can't die without children. No one will inherit all this.

After eating, Rock talked about business with Henry.

"That's right, we are the police, and we still need the army to do daily patrols. Otherwise, spending so much military money to support so many troops every year wouldn't be a show, not to mention that even if you form a militia, it won't be your turn." This police chief takes the lead, that's the job of the city government, and you're even going to grab my father's job." Henry complained about Rock, and there are not many opportunities like this.

Rock can only admit that he has underestimated the heroes of the world, and the current division of labor in society is so detailed, individual heroism is really undesirable.

Then go home and "farm".

After Rock returned to Johannesburg, the [-]rd Division stationed in Pretoria sent a cavalry regiment to Johannesburg, scattered and stationed on the border between Pretoria and Orange. There is no need for a Johannesburg militia to be established.

"No, the militia should still be established, but if you want to change the way, let's form it as a club. Don't use the same name, such as equestrian club, shooting club, hunting club, etc., you can call it whatever you want. The operation method is the same as that of the militia, and no one asks for funds from the city government anyway, so no one can control it." Rock still has a way to change the soup but not the medicine.

Speaking of the club, it's really out of anyone's control, and it's not Rock's first initiative, the Boers are even more extreme.

Immediately after the signing of the Peace Agreement, a "Christian National Education Society" was established in Orange, funded by donations from the Cape and Holland.

Soon after the "Peace Agreement" was signed, Orange and Cape established the "African Language Association". This association does not study English or Dutch, but a new language called "Afrikaans". ".

These two associations are so powerful that they set up a branch in Johannesburg without the police and the city government being aware of it. The members are not only Boers, but also British, Germans, and French in Johannesburg. He even wanted to recruit Chinese into the association, but unfortunately, the Chinese were not interested in "Christianity" or "African languages", so Rock didn't notice.

"We already have a lot of clubs, cattle, sheep, and even dogs. Farmers near the border line patrol the border line every afternoon and morning spontaneously in the name of hunting. Transland There are checkpoints set up by our police station on the road from Watts to Orange. The Kronstad Police Station was established last week, and Inspector Martin is the chief—" Reid was a little depressed, I don't know if it is Because of Martin's expatriation.

Although Martin and Li De are both Chinese, there is still a difference in this issue. In the eyes of many Chinese policemen, Li De's current position is the assistant to the police chief, and he seems to be more qualified to be sent abroad. Unexpectedly, he was sent abroad first. It was Martin.

From the clubs established by the Chinese, it can be seen that the Chinese still value economic interests. Whether it is cattle, sheep, or even dogs, they can generate direct economic benefits, and they have no interest in religion and language.

This is also normal. After all, the problem of food and clothing is still to be solved now. If the food and clothing cannot be solved, spiritual civilization will be impossible to talk about. If the Boers do this, there will probably be problems in the future.

Rock didn't explain Li De, some things have to be solved by himself, which involves a problem of structure, if Li De can't understand, then Li De will be like this in his life.

Looking back, Rock did not forget to report to Philip Matilda.

The mayor doesn't care about this matter at all, maybe the mayor doesn't even know the name of the farmer who was killed.

After meeting Roque, Philip Matilda still cared about Phyllis: "How is Big Via Girls School?"

God knows what, Rock is too busy to attend to the Big Via Girls' School these days, and he hasn't been back to Big Vientiane Town for half a month.

"It's okay—" Rock wanted to get away with it.

"It's all right—that's all right—" Philip Matilda said lightly.

Rock heard what Philip Matilda meant, and went straight to Bigwig Town from the mayor's mansion.

Rock thought that something happened to Phyllis, but when he arrived at Bigwig Girls' School, he found out that Phyllis was very happy in the girls' school.

After receiving the financial allocation, Bigwig Public School did not rush to build a new campus, but used it all to improve its hardware and software capabilities.

On the boys' school side, two new indoor stadiums were built, the library was expanded, and Tony finally had the money to buy horses, and began the equestrian class that he had always missed.

The girls' school focused more on software capabilities. Phyllis did not build a stadium after getting the money, but invited more than a dozen experienced girls' school teachers from the UK to improve the teaching staff of the girls' school.

The salaries of these teachers are not cheap, and the annual salary of each is more than 200 pounds, which is very competitive in the teaching profession, so these girls' school teachers are willing to come to Johannesburg.

"These teachers are from Brighton Rodin and Waddingham, two of the best girls' schools in the country. Many teachers have taught me before, so I know who is qualified and who is not. I even put Sophia as the principal. I dug it, I think Ms. Penelope will hate me." Phyllis was triumphant, her face was full of praise me, praise me——

Phyllis graduated from Brighton Rodin. Ms. Penelope was one of the founders of the three sisters in Brighton Rodin. The elder brother of the three sisters was the famous Duke of Wimbledon. Before the establishment of St. Paul's Girls' High School, Brighton Rodin is the best girls' secondary school in the UK.

"So, the current principal is Sophia?" Locke didn't even know who Sophia was.

"Yes!" Phyllis was in a very good mood, and threw the ball in her hand vigorously, letting the big man chase it.

"Then what is your position?" Rock asked casually. It doesn't matter whether Phyllis is the principal or not, only being happy is important.

In other words, Phyllis should have just turned 18 now, and she is indeed a little too young to be a principal at this age.

"Principal assistant—otherwise, why would I recruit Principal Sophia?" Phyllis took it for granted, not thinking that a father who is the mayor must be the principal.

What else could Roque say? Roque asked himself, he couldn't be so free and easy. Looking at Phyllis in high spirits, Roque was really full of joy.

Then take Phyllis out to play together. Speaking of which, Phyllis has been in Bigwig Town for so long, Roque has never taken Phyllis out to play, no wonder the mayor will be angry, if it is Roque, maybe To hit someone.

It's really troublesome for a woman to go out. It takes at least half an hour to change clothes, change hairstyle, and touch up makeup. Rock is not in a hurry, and chats with Tang En.

Li De has more and more jobs, and Tang En is now an assistant next to Rock, and Rock usually brings ten or eight commandos with him when he goes out.

The other constant follower beside Rock is Zach. Zach is still Rock's servant. It is more conspicuous in the police.

"——The subsidy has been paid. The brothers in our bureau have received at least 50 pounds, which is almost a year's salary. The brothers who started late regretted it very much. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine, and now they can buy farms, but The places are very far away, and the smarter brothers will go to Pretoria to buy them, anyway, the distance is not far, and it is very convenient to have a train—" Tang En has a simple and honest face, and he is the oldest group of people around Rock brother.

Those brothers are actually polarized now, and they have a relatively good relationship with Rock, such as Anton, Li De, Martin, and Gao De brothers. Now they are basically mixed up as inspectors. Those who are almost mixed up, such as Tang En, are now big and small. The sheriff followed Rock to buy vineyards and farms, and now he has a very rich net worth.

Those old brothers who didn't keep up with Rock's pace are a bit miserable. They have obtained qualifications and basically become sheriffs. Although they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and their social status is good, their economic strength is not enough.

While in Cape Town, Roque had been persuading Chinese policemen to buy vineyards.

Most of the Chinese policemen are obedient, and they can do whatever Roque tells them to do, but there will always be some people who think they are smart and don't take Roque's words seriously.

As a result, those people are now in a tragedy. Many of the Chinese policemen who followed Rock to Johannesburg sold the vineyards in Cape Town. Johannesburg bought a larger farm, such as Tang En. The farm under his name now has 2000 acres, which is converted into tens of thousands of acres. This is not the most in the Johannesburg Police Department. The Chinese policeman who owns the most farms is the quiet Gao De brothers. The farms under the name of these two brothers add up to nearly 8000 acres, which can be counted in the whole of Johannesburg.

Those Chinese policemen who had fallen behind in Cape Town only realized it when they arrived in Johannesburg, and began to buy farms in Johannesburg. Unfortunately, they did not have enough funds, and the number of farms they bought was limited, and the subsidies they received were even greater. few.

This is the so-called not catching up with one step, not catching up with every step.

"Did you buy it?" Rock was still very relieved. Even if these old brothers didn't become policemen, they would still be rich if they resigned and returned home to become farmers. Only in this way can they show the value of being with Rock.

"Buy it, buy it as long as you can. There will be more money in the future, and the farms will definitely become less and less. My family is now in Johannesburg. My brother, my younger brother, my cousin, cousin, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, Even the brother-in-law and brother-in-law of my cousin and cousin are all in Johannesburg. The whole family counts to a hundred and ten, and the more land the better." Tang En's family is very representative, and every Chinese policeman in the Johannesburg Police Station actually has a is a big family.

This is also the reason for the rapid increase in the number of Chinese in Johannesburg. Although Rock is now sending people to Nyasaland, the number of Chinese in Johannesburg is still increasing rapidly. Rock has not counted the number of Chinese who came to Johannesburg to seek refuge with relatives and friends. It is estimated that the total number will be It's amazing.

Regarding the population of Chinese, in fact, the official statistics have always been inaccurate. This is related to the heavy corvee and poll tax. When the official statistics of the population, one more person, one more corvee, one more head Taxes, so underreporting population is very common among Chinese.

Johannesburg does not collect poll tax, and there is no such thing as corvee, so the rapid population increase is inevitable. As far as the fertility of the Chinese is concerned, as in the case of Johannesburg, if the Chinese are given ten years, the total number of Chinese in Johannesburg will increase to more than one million. pressure.

Who would dare to bully the Chinese by then?

No one dared. At that time, the combined population of the Boers and the British was not as large as that of the Chinese. Thank goodness the Chinese did not bully them.
