Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 42

In Rock's impression, when it comes to the nineteenth century, the impression is ignorance, lack of material, spiritual poverty, the jungle of the jungle, and so on.

Having been in this era for so long, Rock deeply felt that it is true that the strong prey on the weak. Ignorance and spiritual poverty may also be possible, but there is no shortage of supplies. Africa, especially South Africa, especially in Cape Town, is now Cape Town, the supplies are simply not too rich. The British spent a lot of money in order to conquer the Boers. Every day, new troop carriers arrive in Cape Town. The train station has piles of supplies waiting to be transferred. Delicious food, the price of beef is unbelievably low, because everyone is tired of beef, only the caviar from northern Europe can wake up people's taste buds.

In the governor's manor, it was another scene.

To receive Rock and Henry, of course the Governor would not appear in person, but the butler of the manor. Rock didn't know the name of the butler, so he didn't introduce himself.

"Try our handmade biscuits and our self-brewed wine, you deserve it." It can be seen that the butler is still a bit arrogant. Although the etiquette is very thoughtful, his words are a bit offensive .

Rock and Henry could hear the condescending taste in the butler's words, but neither of them spoke. After thanking them politely, each of them took a glass of wine and drank slowly.

As a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, the butler is a person close to the governor, and can represent the governor to a large extent. Rock and Henry are not even qualified to meet the governor.

Of course, don’t expect much face. The biscuits and wine were served, but there was not even a single extra word. Rock thought the butler would proudly introduce how many ingredients the biscuits used and how meticulous the baking process was. , but they didn’t, and it was only later that Roque realized that yes, the butler didn’t explain the reason, and even if it wasn’t for the whim of some big shot, the butler wouldn’t come forward to entertain Roque and Henry.

Just taking a break and tasting a little snack, Rock and Henry didn't have the cheek to stay for a meal. After eating biscuits and drinking wine, Rock and Henry said goodbye politely.

Sure enough, the butler had no intention of seeing off the guests, but the bearded knight sent Rock and Henry out of the manor.

Well, it also means monitoring.

Leaving the manor, Rock and Henry were not very interested. On the way back to Cape Town, Henry suddenly said a word without thinking: "I will live in such a manor in the future, and hire two such housekeepers." , one brews wine every day, and the other bakes biscuits every day."

This--

Does this mean that if you have money to buy soy milk, you have to buy two bowls at a time, and drink one bowl and pour another bowl?

"Come on, you don't need to wait until the future if you want to live in the manor, you can do it now if you want." Rock deliberately changed the subject, it was really easy to buy a manor.

The Cape Colony is sparsely populated, how sparse is it?

When the Boers ruled the Cape Colony, the Boers usually had farms with an area of ​​more than 5000 acres. Although the word "Boer" means "farmers", the Boers have tarnished the Chinese understanding of the industry of "farmers" because The Boers are not good at farming, they are more used to grazing, and the efficiency is extremely low, about one acre of pasture, the Boers can only raise one sheep, and raising one cow needs five acres of pasture, relatively speaking, the Boers’ grazing The technology is not even as good as those black people.

So in many Boer farms, the Boers would hire blacks to work, so it is understandable why the blacks hated the whites so much after they came to power.

Well, the reason why the Boers implemented the apartheid system is that the Cape was built by white people without the participation of black people. Black people have low intelligence and can only engage in low-level manual labor. They are not qualified to participate in national management. The Boers were the first batch For the humans who arrived in Cape, blacks are not natives of Cape, so blacks cannot share the fruits of national development.

In fact, it is all nonsense. The Boers did establish the concept of the Cape Colony, but the blacks are undoubtedly the natives of the Cape, and the construction of the Cape was never completed by the Boers alone. The Boers seized the land from the blacks. Then delimit farms, or develop mines, but the real front-line workers are all blacks. Isn't this enough to explain the role of blacks?

What's more interesting is that not all Boers are rich, and Boers are also divided into rich and poor, but even the Boers at the bottom of society are considered to be ten times more noble than blacks, which can be proved by their salaries Whether it is a miner or a shepherd hired on a farm, the salary of the Boers is usually more than ten times that of the blacks. This also makes the rich Boers unwilling to hire poor Boers, and prefers to use blacks who are cheaper and work more efficiently.

Yes, the work efficiency of those poor Boers is extremely low, even worse than that of blacks, but they don't know it yet, so they are really confident.

As for intelligence, this is more of a conspiracy by the white people, no, it is an overt conspiracy, because that’s what the white people propagate. In the white people’s propaganda, black people have low intelligence and should be enslaved by white people, and because black people have low intelligence, there is no need to treat them Negroes educated because the gain outweighs the gain—

far away!

"You know what I mean." Henry didn't think Rock didn't understand, and was a little angry at Rock's perfunctory.

"I do know what you mean, but so what? We work hard and normally, in 20 or 20 years, we might be promoted to inspector, superintendent, or maybe a police officer if we're lucky. Director, have you calculated the level difference between this and the governor-oh, no, that is for you, my situation is a bit special, even if I work hard, I may not be able to do it in ten or twenty years Promoted to inspector, so my friend, be realistic." Rock knew what Henry meant, but Rock was not capable of helping Henry realize it.

"Don't be so discouraged. Skin color is not a problem. I can't guarantee it for others. If I become the chief of police, I will definitely let you be the deputy chief of police. We will always be good partners." Henry is still pretty good, at least Rock is so think.

In other words, this is a feasible way.

It must be difficult for Rock to climb up because of his skin color, but Henry does not have this problem. As a pure Englishman, as long as Henry's qualifications reach the level of promotion, Henry's promotion will not be hindered by any obstacles.

Then, let's come to an officer development plan.
