Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 35 Two Worlds

It is more appropriate for Henry to propose to hire more Chinese policemen from Huayong Camp.

In any case, Henry is the serious commando captain. The vice-captain, Rock, is soft-spoken and is of Chinese descent. It is inappropriate to express opinions on this issue, but Henry has no problems in this regard. I proved my loyalty with my naturalization and my value with my strength, and the entire Cape Colony has a small population of Chinese. More Chinese immigrated to Cape Town. If they want to live, they have to hug the thighs of the British and believe in the British. Man can see this.

"I will make this suggestion to the supervisor, but the result cannot be guaranteed, you should understand." Henry agreed to make the suggestion, but he was not optimistic.

Even though the Chinese police have many advantages, it is still the British who make the decision.

In fact, Roque can understand that when the British consider this issue, they will consider it more comprehensively, and they will not follow Roque's idea. The Chinese police officers with better performance were not promoted as sheriffs, and the newly promoted sheriffs were still Indians.

This is the balance of power. In order to ensure the loyalty of the Chinese police, the British will even appropriately suppress the Chinese police. If it is Rock, Rock will do the same.

Killing Sharma did not usher in a more relaxed living space for Rock. The Cape Town Police Department has nearly [-] sheriffs, more than half of whom are Indians. Killing a Sharma will not change this situation. On the contrary, because of the deteriorating relationship with Sharma, Roque became the target of public criticism, so Roque still has to be careful not to give others a handle easily.

After leaving Henry's office, Rock immediately went to Anton and told Anton the good news that the boat ticket was reimbursed.

"Reimbursement? Really?" Anton couldn't believe it either.

"Really, hurry up and bring your family to Cape Town. God knows when the British will abolish this policy." Rock was more anxious than Anton. This policy is temporary and will definitely be abolished in the future.

Regarding immigration, in order to enrich the colonies all over the world, the British did have regulations in this regard, but what Henry told Rock is that Australia and Canada have now canceled this preferential policy for attracting immigrants, and the Cape Colony There will definitely be cancellations in the future too, so hurry up.

Cape Town is far away from the Qing Dynasty. Even if Anton sent a telegram to Huayong Camp in Weihai, Qing Dynasty immediately, hoping to immigrate his family members to Cape Town as soon as possible, the fastest merchant ship from Qing Dynasty to Cape Town would take about the same amount of time. One month, not to mention that Anton and his family will not board the ship immediately after receiving the telegram. It always needs a decision process, so it will take time for Anton and his family to reunite with their family.

"I'll send a telegram right away." Anton made up his mind. Of course, telegrams are not free, but Anton doesn't care about the money now.

By the way, after bringing down Sharma, Roque also realized that Chinese policemen's desire for money is endless, so Roque decided to continue the business of setting up bureaus, but the method must be improved, and it cannot be used again. Let the Chinese come forward, and when Luo Yi gets better in two days, Luo Yi will teach Di Rang the relevant techniques. At that time, Di Rang will come forward to set up a trap, and Luo Yi and the others will assist. To Rock.

"Let's go, and help you design a new image, so that you look more like a Capetonian." Rock put on the tailor-made suit just sent by the tailor, and he was completely new from head to toe.

Nearly ten pounds is really worth the money. The brand new tuxedo is straight and crisp, the shiny leather shoes can reflect the figure, and the gold watch chain across the chest is blinding. Rock still has a gun, which is not obvious under the tuxedo , put on a top hat and pick up a cane. Seen from behind, Rock is an authentic English gentleman.

"You—" Anton looked at Rock's new outfit, "You" didn't come out for a long time.

There is a saying that "a man depends on clothes, a Buddha depends on gold clothes", a decent set of clothes can indeed change a person's overall image.

Rock's capital is still good. He is 1.8 meters and has a sharp appearance. Because he has practiced martial arts all year round, Rock's body is very strong. In jargon, he is a standard "clothes rack". He raised his chest, raised his head, retracted his abdomen, and raised his hips anytime and anywhere. Even many British people couldn't do this, unless they were descendants of nobles who had received strict etiquette training since childhood. Anton saw a lot of Rock in police uniforms, At first glance, Roque changed into such a suit, and the most direct feeling was that it was inappropriate.

Yes, it's not suitable. In Anton's opinion, Rock's suit is a bit out of range. In Cape Town, only upper-class people with a certain status will wear it. Rock is a policeman. The clothes don't seem to fit well.

"It's nothing inappropriate. Cape Town doesn't stipulate that Chinese people can't wear formal dresses. It's the same sentence. If you want others to look up to you, you can't see yourself first. We Chinese are no worse than anyone else. The police are also serious professions. If we I think I’m inferior to others, so why should foreigners look us in the right light?” Rock wants to subtly instill correct thoughts in Anton anytime and anywhere, and let Anton realize it by himself, I’m afraid he won’t be able to realize it all his life.

"So, we're going to wear it like this from now on?" Anton didn't dislike the clothes for being ugly, but for being expensive. Rock had ordered these clothes with Anton, and Anton knew how much Rock's suit cost. money.

"You don't have to wear it like this, but if the clothes are inappropriate, don't let foreigners look at you." Rock doesn't force it. If you want to stand out, of course you have to spend some money. Rock is not enough money now, and he can't afford it to all Chinese. The police bought such an outfit, otherwise Rock would not be stingy.

As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem for Roque.

"Didn't you order two sets? Let me try borrowing one set." Anton didn't treat Rock as an outsider, he gritted his teeth and swallowed, and decided to keep up with Rock's rhythm.

It’s impossible not to follow closely. When they were in Huayong Camp, Anton and Roque were both corporals. Because Roque was taciturn, Anton’s prestige in Huayong was even higher. It was only a few months since he came to Cape Town. When they arrived in Cape Town, everyone was a patrolman, but now the gap between Roque and Anton has clearly widened, which fully proves Roque is correct.

If you don't keep up with Rock's rhythm, I'm afraid the gap between Anton and Rock will become wider and wider, and you will become people in two worlds.
