Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 34 The Good Thing You Can't Dream About

Of course, there is a need for reservations. In Police Commissioner August Russell's plan, the commando team must not only be retained, but also be further expanded.

As a violent institution, August Russell also hoped to have a force capable of conscripting and fighting. It is unreliable to count on those Indian patrolmen. August Russell also knew that those Indian patrolmen were just fakes, used to scare people It's okay, but it's useless at critical times.

After the commando team was established, Roque led the commando team to dispatch only once and captured several gold smugglers. It was this operation that made August Russell see the potential of the commando team. This idea was correct. Therefore, although the rioters have been punished, the commando team will definitely not be disbanded, because no one is sure whether similar incidents will happen in Cape Town in the future.

"Lock, Mr. Director is very satisfied with your work. Next, the commando team will take on more important tasks. You must be ready at any time." Austin Burns' attitude towards Rock is not bad, although Rock is still not eligible to sit , But because of the gold, it is obvious that Rock has already registered in Austin Burns's heart, and has been classified by Austin Burns as one of his own.

"The size of the commando team needs to be further expanded. Personnel can be recruited externally or selected internally. What's your opinion on this?" Austin Pence asked for Rock's opinion. After all, Rock is the actual leader of the commando team, although In name, Henry was the captain of the commando.

"I have no objection, Mr. Inspector." Rock waived the right to make a request. Although Rock could take the opportunity to ask to recruit more policemen from the Huayong Camp, Rock didn't want to make this suggestion himself, which would give Austin Peng left a bad impression.

"Very good, let's go back to work." Austin Burns did not make things difficult for Roque, picked up an envelope from the table and handed it to Roque: "This is the bonus for closing the case, given by Titus Mining Company, go have a drink after get off work Bar."

Sure enough, the Titus Mining Company was able to bypass the police station to handle this matter, and the police station must have benefited a lot. Austin Burns did not treat Rock badly. This is the correct way to be an official.

Back in his office, Rock opened the envelope, which contained a hundred pounds worth of banknotes.

Rock thought for a while, put the envelope in the desk drawer, and got up to find Henry.

"I only used less than 100 of the 20 pounds. Who should I give the rest to?" Rock works in a systematic way. Rewards belong to rewards, funds belong to funds, and unused funds must be turned over.

"You save it for the people below. Uh, what about your informants?" Henry doesn't care about that little funding. If Rock gets the benefits, Henry must get more benefits.

"One of them is disabled. I hired him to mow the lawn. There is no news about the other three. I suspect they ran away with the money I gave them. Don't let me catch them." Rock resentfully, except for Zach , the other three people have not heard any news, which is indeed a shame.

"Hahahaha, I told you a long time ago that those Boers can't be trusted." Henry will definitely not let go of this opportunity to laugh at Rock. Chance, otherwise Rock would have no friends.

"I also know that the Boers cannot be trusted, but we don't trust the Boers now, who else can we trust?" Rock has no choice. In Cape Town, if you want to do things, you can only trust the Boers, even if the probability of being trustworthy is only [-] out of [-] one.

"The bureau wants to expand the number of commandos, what do you think?" Henry still asked this question after all. Even if Henry didn't ask, Rock would find a way to bring the topic to this direction.

"From my standpoint, I definitely hope to hire more policemen from Huayongying. The performance of the Chinese policemen is obvious to all. They are loyal, hard-working, professional, and have no interest in the local Boers. It's a pity that I said that Not to mention, now that we have expanded the commando team, we can only choose Indians and Boers, even if we get all the Chinese policemen into the commando team, there are only [-] people, what can we do with this size?" Rock did not reveal It is best for Henry to bring up the matter of sensuality and private goods. Rock can't say it, and he will be suspicious if he does.

"Hire from the Huayong Camp—it's too far away." Henry didn't hate the Chinese police, but just found it troublesome. The Huayong Camp was stationed in Weihai, Qing Dynasty, and it was too far away from Cape.

"Distance is not a problem. The Huayongs of the Huayong Camp have already undergone the initial training of the Huayong Camp. There is no problem with their personal technical and tactical movements. The only problem is the cost. From Qingguo to Cape, the boat ticket is the main problem. "Rock doesn't worry about other things, he only worries about the cost. Anton and the others don't even want to drink a glass of beer now, they just want to bring their family back to Cape Town as soon as possible.

"Fee? What's the problem with the fee? Rock, you may not know it. As long as it's a foreign population immigrating to Cape, the Governor's Palace will bear all the expenses." Henry provided a piece of news that stunned Rock.

"The Governor's Mansion bears all the expenses?" Roque couldn't believe that there are such good things in this year!

"Hahahaha, yes, unexpected, the Governor's Office will bear all the expenses. As long as someone is willing to immigrate to Cape Town, the Governor's Office will reimburse all immigration expenses. This regulation has been implemented since ten years ago." Henry seemed to be very happy to laugh. Rock, although Rock didn't find it ridiculous.

This is information asymmetry. The Cape Colony did have this regulation, not just the Cape Colony. About 30 years ago, in Australia, New Zealand, and even Canada, the local colonial governments had this regulation in order to attract immigrants. According to the relevant regulations, as long as someone is willing to immigrate, no matter where he is from, the colonial government will reimburse the immigration expenses.

The crux of the problem is that many people don't know about this regulation, especially for the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty. They never imagined that the white people would spend so much money in order to attract immigrants.

This news is too important. As long as the ticket fee is settled, Anton and his family will have no obstacles in immigrating to Cape Town. Unlike Rock who settled down on Mill Street, Anton and the others don’t want to spend money on buying a house. Instead, they are going to buy a farm in the suburbs of Cape Town.

Compared with buying a house, buying a farm is too simple. Because of the outbreak of the war, the British army at the front was at a disadvantage. Farms are now the least valuable. A farm with 200 acres costs less than [-] pounds.

Of course, for Anton and the others, 200 pounds is not a small figure, and it will take several years to save it bit by bit from salary.

Fortunately, there is Rock!
