Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 299

Many people are indifferent to fields that have nothing to do with them, so they don't deliberately understand the news in this regard.

Mars' family members are all in the UK, which means that Mars is a "naked official", and Mars is based in Bloemfontein, so Mars doesn't care about the news in Johannesburg.

Just because Mars doesn’t care doesn’t mean that other people don’t care either. Both Austin Burns and Jacob’s children have reached school age, and these two are native-born “Afrikaners”, so they still don’t care about Bigwig School. As far as I know, Austin Burns is better. With the relationship between Austin Burns and Rock, Austin Burns' children will definitely be able to enter Bigwig College, but Jacob's children are hard to say.

It’s not that Jacob is not qualified enough. As a captain of the colonial army, Jacob’s qualifications are definitely enough. The key is that the number of admission places in Bigwig Public School is fixed, and every place is very tight now. The school does not accept students from outside the Transvaal.

So Jacob envied Mars very much, without the introduction from Rock and Henry, Jacob knew about Bigwig School very well: "Mars, you are a blessing in disguise, and the places in Bigwig College are very tight. The teachers in the school are all hired from the local area. Some teachers even taught at Eton College before they served at the Big Vegetable School. Compared with the local Eton College, the hardware and software facilities are not bad at all, and the management of Bigwig College is even stricter. I heard that Bigwig College will open a middle school next year, and now the places in the middle school are competing in Cape Town. Crazy, someone is even willing to pay [-] pounds for a place in the Secondary Department."

What Jacob said was the truth, Rock just laughed and said nothing.

The British still attach great importance to the investment in the education of the next generation. Whether they are poor or rich, they are willing to send their children to school for education as long as they have the opportunity. This has led to a shortage of resources in prestigious schools. Only one boy can enter Eton College. In order to allow their children to enter Eton College, some aristocrats, once a baby boy is born, will go to Eton College with a "birth certificate" to register and queue up, so that the child can enter Eton College when he is 1500 years old. able to enroll successfully.

Compared with the British mainland, educational resources in southern Africa are even more scarce. The top richest people in Cape Town will send their children back to the British mainland to study, and the average middle class can only let their children study in Cape Town, but the local schools in Cape Town teach The quality is not good, so education has always been a serious problem in southern Africa.

At this time, Bigwig Public School was born. Rock's strict requirements for Bigwig Public School made the reputation of Bigwig Public School rise steadily. Even Cape Town has people who are willing to send their children to Bigwig Public School. Study and study.

"It's okay Jacob, if your child is of the right age, you can also send your child to Bigwig - I guarantee that at Bigwig, all students can enjoy as much as Eton" education." Rock is generous, and the quota that others can't dream of is just a matter of words for Rock.

It's really strange that there is such a strong need for education for the next generation, but no one in Cape Town is trying to address it.

In fact, the reason is very simple. People who can solve this problem also have the ability to send their children to Eton College, so there is no need at all.

Those who are unable to solve this problem cannot solve it even if they want to.

Only Rock, a traveler, knew the importance of "universal" education, and that's why Rock founded Bigwig School.

"That's really great, thank you, Lord." Jacob was overjoyed. A place in Bigwig Public School was very rare for Mars, and it was equally rare for Jacob.

"If that's the case, my lord, I'd like to go to Madagascar." After solving his worries, Mars finally made up his mind.

It's just that listening to this tone, it feels like going to the battlefield!

"Don't worry about Mars, Madagascar is not hell. Compared to the Transvaal, Madagascar is still very good. At least there is no plague in Madagascar." Rock tried to put it lightly. This question depends on who you are relative to.

Compared with the colonists, Madagascar is certainly not a hell, even almost a paradise.

But compared to the colonial natives, Madagascar under colonial rule was almost hell.

"After going to Madagascar, your salary will be doubled on the original basis. If you don't want to take your family to Madagascar, you can place your family in Bigwig Town. Don't worry about the environment in Bigwig Town. My home is In Bigwig Town." Rock continued to promise that the more benefits he promised, the harder Austin Burns and the others would work, and when the benefits reached a certain level, Austin Burns and the others would not be able to afford to lose all the consequences.

"Bigwei Town is indeed very good. I have been there. I dare say that in southern Africa, even in the mainland, Bigwig Town is super first-class. If you have the opportunity, you will know it. If you go to Bigwig Town, you must I wonder if I’m in heaven.” Austin Burns has been to Bigwig Town and admired Bigwig Town very much.

This is normal, everyone who has been to Ziwei Town will highly respect Ziwei Town.

"Yes, if I hadn't been working in Pretoria, I think I would have settled down in Bigwig Town, but I would definitely go to Bigwig Town in the future." Henry also has needs. In the future, the child of Henry and Lacey Also attend Bigwig School.

Not to mention that Rock is going all out, Bigwig College is not much different from Eton College, even if there is a huge gap between Bigwig College and Eton College, as long as the teaching quality of Bigwig College is decent, Henry will I chose to send my children to Bigwig College instead of sending them all the way back to the UK mainland.

If you look at the map, you will know that the Transvaal is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the British mainland, and it takes more than half a month to travel by train and ship.

So if the child is sent back to the UK to study, Lacey must also return to the UK to study, which means that Henry will be separated from Lacey and the child for a long time, and Henry is definitely not willing to do that.

"That's it. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Madagascar." Austin Burns made a decision and stayed in Pretoria. Austin Burns and the others could only stay in the police station. Austin Burns and the others had already been locked up. After more than a month, I didn't want to stay in the police station for one more day.

Back at Henry's home, Rock and Henry continued to discuss Casimir Perrier's company.

"It's not easy for the French to colonize Madagascar. That is to say, the French have a chance after the death of La Navalona. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the French to annex Madagascar." Henry looked down on the French, which is normal, the French Not even the British.

Ranavalona is the queen of Radama I, and Radama I is the king of the Kingdom of Madagascar. As early as the beginning of the nineteenth century, Radama I basically unified the island of Madagascar, and then established the Kingdom of Madagascar.

At that time, France had already occupied several strongholds along the coast of Madagascar, and used the strongholds as a springboard to invade the interior of Madagascar.

The area of ​​Madagascar is 59 square kilometers, so Britain is envious and jealous of France, unwilling to see France monopolize Madagascar, so Britain provides weapons like Radama I to support the Malagasy against the French.

This is another bad debt. With the weapons provided by the United Kingdom, the Madagascars indeed resisted the French invasion. However, after the death of King Radama I, Queen Ranavalona took power. France is very tough. Lana Valona not only hunted down all the missionaries on the Falklands, but also closed all the schools run by white people on the Falklands, trying to completely drive the whites out of Madagascar.

Of course, France was not reconciled to failure, so it brazenly launched a war.

Unexpectedly, La Navalona was not a vegetarian. The French were beaten with bruises and swollen faces, and ran away with their heads in their hands. In the end, they had to apologize to La Navalona. Wang Island and Mauritius Island transport labor.

See, the value of labor is so powerful in this era.

It was not until the death of Ranavalona that Radama II ascended the throne that France returned to Madagascar and continued its conquest of Madagascar.

Radama II did not have the ability and courage of Ranavalona, ​​and could not withstand the encroachment of France, so France obtained most of the Falklands in the form of lease.

At this time, the aborigines of the Falklands, who were deeply influenced by Queen Ranavalona, ​​quit. On May 1863, 5, the aborigines of the Falklands hanged Radama II, and Prime Minister Rainilea Rivoni became The actual ruler of the Kingdom of Madagascar.

There is also a huge gap between Laine Lea Rivoni and Queen La Navalona. In the Battle of Fama in 1885, France defeated Madagascar, and Madagascar became a French colony.

In Henry's view, France is obviously unqualified as a colonist. If it were replaced by Britain, Madagascar would have been conquered long ago, and it would not have waited until 1885.

"In any case, Madagascar is now a French colony, but Malagasy does not recognize this, so France's colonization of Madagascar is very difficult, this is an opportunity for us." No matter how arduous the struggle, as a member of the colonists, Rock must do what is in line with his identity.

"You want to help the French suppress the Malagasy?" Henry was surprised. From Roque's standpoint, Roque should try to destroy it.

Rock doesn't bother to answer such mentally handicapped questions, help?

It would be good if Roque did not incite the Malagasy to continue to resist the French colonial aggression.

Compared with the British, Rock is an expert in this area.

　Some people in the book friend group want to pay compensation for a disagreement, and one chapter is not enough to pay, and two chapters are required-it is even more greedy than Rock!
