Chapter 356 Unhappy

Under normal circumstances, the management of Bigwig Town does not interfere with the residents' beliefs. The current religion is different from the previous religion, and has less and less influence on the secular world, so Rock really doesn't care about Frank's threat.

Compared with Frank, who is in a hurry, the Protestant side is as stable as Mount Tai. Of course, they are not stupid enough to refuse Rock to hold a wedding in a Protestant church. Objectively speaking, Protestant churches are also bigger and more glorious than Frank’s church. No wonder Frank is in a hurry .

The Protestant church can hold 150 people for mass at the same time, and Frank’s church can only hold about 100 people at most. This also proves the strength of the church from another aspect. The church is the largest single building in Bigville Town.

However, after the completion of the medical school, these two churches will no longer be so conspicuous. Any building in the medical school is far larger than the two churches.

Before the wedding, what Rock was most worried about happened. As the relationship between the Natal Zulu people and the government became more and more tense, the Zulu people finally broke out in rebellion, asking for the rule of the Natal government to establish own country.

Of course, the Natal government would not agree, so it reported to London, requesting that the Zulu people in Natal be suppressed by force.

At this time, it showed the harm of being commanded remotely by London. London failed to respond to the request of the Natal government in time, and it was not until the third day that it agreed to forcefully suppress the Zulu rebellion in Natal. At this time, the Zulu rebellion had already passed A full week has passed, and the number of Zulus participating in the rebellion has increased from less than 1 at the beginning to more than 10. Even the Zulus in the gold mines in Johannesburg began to riot.

"Locke, the governor has agreed to transfer the Rhodesian Northern Division to Natal to participate in the counter-rebellion. You still have to stabilize the situation and not allow the miners in Johannesburg to participate in the Natal rebellion." Philip said before the wedding One day I hurriedly found Rock.

"No problem, the Rhodesian Northern Division is ready and can go to Natal at any time. I have ruled the mining alliance to take strict precautions, and dispatched commandos and detective teams to the mines to help maintain law and order. All mines are now It has been closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, and all sources of information are cut off. Even if there is a commotion by miners, we have the ability to stabilize the situation." Rock was not distracted by the wedding, and he was fully prepared. Johannesburg and Natal The degree of importance is different. Natal can be chaotic, but Johannesburg must not be chaotic.

The gold in Johannesburg is very important for London to maintain its status as the world's financial center. The gold mine is the final bottom line for London. Even if the Transvaal is autonomous in the future, the gold in Johannesburg will still be shipped to London, so Rock is also responsible. The garrison in Johannesburg is now Already driving to Natal, the importance of the police station became more prominent.

At this time, Rock will definitely go all out. Not only has the police station canceled all vacations, but the security guards at the Rock Gold Mine have also been gathered by Rock, ready to dispatch at any time to suppress miners in other gold mines.

The mining alliance has also played an important role. In the past, the gold mines were all in a state of disunity. With the mining alliance, mine owners can communicate with each other and support each other. Rock can also integrate resources through the mining alliance. Don't underestimate these The security team in the hands of the mine owner, any mine, has a hundred or ten thugs and security guards, and the power of integrating these forces cannot be underestimated.

"It's really troublesome, try to simplify tomorrow's wedding as much as possible, the governor will definitely not be able to come, and Henry will stay in Pretoria to maintain order, what a bastard—" Philip couldn't help it, how perfect it was originally A wedding, but it happened to be disturbed by the Zulu people in Natal.

Rock was not too angry. Weddings are just a procedure. Although every woman hopes to have a perfect wedding, accidents are a part of life.

What's more, there are actually some things that Roque dare not say. The Zulu people in Natal want to establish an independent country. In Roque's view, this is actually a good thing. It is a good opportunity to get rid of the threat of future Zulu people. If Roque is in power, Rock would agree to the founding of the Zulu people without hesitation, and took this opportunity to give all the Zulu people to Natal, even if he gave the Zulu people of Natal a certain degree of compensation for this, he would be willing.

It's a pity that Rock's words don't count, so knowing that this is a good opportunity, Rock still wants to participate in the suppression of the Zulus according to London and Ade's wishes.

Speaking of repression, I have to mention the attitude of those African-American policemen in the Johannesburg Police Department towards Natal.

When the Natal government shot and executed the Zulus who attacked the police, Rock told Yaya to pay attention to the attitude of the African-American police.

The result was beyond Roque's expectations. On this matter, the African-American policemen in the Johannesburg Police Department showed a clear stand. They all stood on the side of the Natal government and supported the Natal government's decision.

It's not too "foreign". After all, those Zulus were executed by the Natal government for attacking the police. This not only upholds the authority of the Natal police, but also involves the interests of all police in southern Africa.

According to the British legal tradition, after the Natal government shot those Zulus, in southern Africa, as long as there are Zulus who dare to attack the police, no matter what the reason is, all judges will follow Natal’s case , severely punish those involved.

The same goes for the Transvaal.

On the eve of the wedding, Rock returned to Bigwig Town ahead of schedule.

Bigwei Town has not been affected by Natal, and has become a sea of ​​joy. All the residents spontaneously hung red lanterns in front of their doors to represent festivals, and the gold mine security guards and policemen who assisted in the management of public order also changed into red lanterns. Many people from Cape Town and Pretoria rushed to Bigwig Town to attend Rock’s wedding, and Rock closed all the hotels in Bigwig Town early. Book it down for these friends who come from afar to live.

The baron's mansion has also taken on a new look inside and out. After Anna's training, the servants of the baron's mansion are already looking good, and they are now waiting for the arrival of the mistress with the greatest enthusiasm.

Like Henry's wedding, Rock's wedding also had six best men. Rock didn't care about that. The six best men were all policemen from the Johannesburg Police Department. That's when Rock discovered that in the Johannesburg Police Station, 80.00% The above-mentioned policemen are all married, and most of their wives are Boers. Only those who marry later have the opportunity to marry Chinese wives.

This is also a good thing. Rock now cares less and less about the "blood theory". He wants to marry Phyllis as his wife, and he has no position to ask other people. This is actually very beneficial to the integration of Chinese into Johannesburg. It won't take long. If a generation of Chinese is born, the Chinese will become an integral part of Johannesburg.

Of course, in order to better ensure the centripetal force of the Chinese, the necessary education is still indispensable. There are now many dual-career families in Johannesburg, and many police wives are nurses at the Bigwei Hospital. It costs a lot of money. After these nurses get married and have children, they are forced to stay at home to take care of the children and cannot take care of their work. This is actually a great waste.

In order to change this situation, nursery schools and kindergartens have of course also emerged as the times require. There are now four nursery schools in Ziwei Town, each of which is not small in size and can accommodate at least a hundred children.

But this is far from enough. With the increase of population, the demand for nursery schools in Bigwei Town is also increasing. In fact, Rock doesn't care about this. As people's horizons broaden, people will naturally find business opportunities in this area, and then pay Actions.

Of course, necessary guidance is still needed, so the first nursery school in Bigwig Town was established by Mrs. Barker. Although Mrs. Barker is notoriously strict in educating children, most residents still trust Mrs. Barker. , I quite approve of Mrs. Barker's education method.

That's right, Mrs. Barker is Chinese, and the Chinese are famous for their strict education for the next generation. In the past, even though many Chinese students were not well-educated at Bigwig College, after solving the language problem, they The grades of Chinese students have improved rapidly. From the bottom of the school when they first entered the school, they gradually equalized with the white students, and then surpassed the white students as a whole. The Chinese students only took less than a year.

This is also one of the reasons why Roque wants to set up a school for the children of miners. Although the teachers of Bigwig Public School can guarantee that there is absolutely no difference in treatment in the school, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is inevitable that they will think differently. It is better to solve the problem when the rumors have not appeared than to spread the rumors by then.

The six best men came to the baron's mansion early to make preparations. They were all about the same size as Tang En who was the main best man. The smallest was over 1.8 meters tall, and the lightest weighed over [-].

Being overweight doesn't mean you're fat. In fact, the six groomsmen are all extremely muscular. The wedding is actually a good opportunity for a concentrated display. Through this wedding, Rock will focus on showing the image of the Chinese policeman to all the guests.

Unfortunately, because of Natal's rebellion, many of Rock's brothers could not come to Johannesburg to attend Rock's wedding. Except for Ade and Henry, Anton and Martin will stay in Nyasaland, and Luo Yi will also Staying in Cape Town, it was Joe Russell who came to Bigwig Town early.

"Bloemfontein is a dump. The houses are low and broken. The roads are rough. Compared with the Johannesburg city government, the Bloemfontein city government is a pile of garbage, so they can be content in the garbage dump. Ye, even the police station has to apply several times to build a toilet, I really want to resign, staying in Bloemfontein is a waste of life." Joe Russell complained wildly when he saw Rock, it seemed that he was Bloemfontein was really unhappy.
