Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 689 Island Master

Many years later, Huang Gang still remembers the sweet taste of field coffee that afternoon.

For Huang Gang, it is not only a cup of coffee, but also the door to a new world. A simple cup of coffee let Huang Gang know that this world is not just suffering from hunger and cold, and it is not just static. For Huang Gang, the colors become colorful instead of endless darkness.

The Second East India Division did not launch another attack. Officers and soldiers who managed to escape the bombing and fire escaped Xianda and surrendered to the mercenaries. They threw away their weapons and knelt on both sides of the road with their hands raised, waiting for the final judgment of fate.

Perhaps they also imagined that the mercenaries would recruit them like the Dutch colonial government and let them continue to work for the mercenaries.

This is also the practice in East India, not just the colonial government, even if it is a conflict between two tribes, as long as one party surrenders, the other party will put down the butcher knife and recruit these surrendered personnel to continue working for themselves.

Therefore, the troops in the East India were extremely brutal when they performed their missions, because they knew very well that most of them would not receive more punishment after the war.

But with mercenaries, this obviously doesn't work.

David didn't care about East Indian traditions at all. Even if Medan Port needed free labor and more workers, David would not sell these people to Andy.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to those who were tortured and killed.

"If you need labor, you can spend money to hire it. This is the job content of your Adan company, and it is the job content of our umbrella company to deal with these prisoners of war. Not to mention that these prisoners will not end well when they are handed over to you, even if they work on the construction site to the end. Death can't make up for the mistakes they made. You haven't seen those who died innocently, and no relatives have been tortured and killed by these animals, so there is no personal pain. We not only want to give justice to those who died innocently, but also Give a warning to other troops of the East India colonial government, no matter at any time, do not point your guns at civilians, otherwise you will pay the price." David was determined, even if Andy offered a good price, David would not sell it.

In fact, this was also a routine operation in the past. In southern Africa, in Port Elizabeth, and even in Madagascar, this transaction was a major source of income for umbrella companies.

"David, be reasonable, killing them will not bring any benefits, but will bring negative effects to the umbrella, sell them to me, let them go to work in Medan Port, I guarantee that they will live in endless regrets in the future In the middle, I guarantee that they will all die miserably in the end, and no one will be able to leave Port of Medan alive." Andy knew why David was so angry, mainly because those people massacred by the Second East India Division were all Chinese.

Andy is also Chinese, and he knows what happened, but Andy is different from David. David is a soldier at heart, and Andy is a businessman at heart. Businessmen consider problems more from the perspective of interests, while soldiers are more direct.

Although southern Africa is improving the treatment of workers to a certain extent, it is undeniable that the mainstream of this era is still sweatshops.

The reason why southern Africa is getting richer is based on the dark mines, the harsh working environment of the Fawalt Steel Plant and the cement plant, the nameless corpses under the continuously extending railway tracks, and the ancestors. The population of Lu not only did not increase, but continued to decrease.

Otherwise, based on the economic foundation of southern Africa, it is impossible to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction nationwide. Rock is also unable to provide so many benefits for military families, and the salaries of Chinese workers and white workers will not be so high.

On the issue of whether to carry out the death penalty, there has actually been controversy in southern Africa.

Many people, including Roque, believe that the execution of people who have committed capital crimes is objectively a waste of human resources.

Therefore, those who should have been sentenced to death should be sentenced to life imprisonment, and then serve their sentences to atone for their sins by working hard until the end of their lives.

Last year, a prisoner serving a life sentence caused an uproar when he stoned another prisoner who was about to be released to death in a mine.

Although the violent criminal was shot dead on the spot, the family members of the murdered criminal were devastated, and finally the prison and the mining company jointly compensated the victim.

This incident sparked controversy about the death penalty. Finally, the Ministry of Justice approved the restoration of the death penalty in southern Africa to avoid similar incidents and at the same time maintain the authority of the law.

East India is not southern Africa, so Andy thinks this matter can still be discussed.

"Andy, you have to be more rational. These people are all devils. You can see that they are very obedient now. In fact, they are all pretending. Why don't you go to the shore of Lake Toba and take a look, I think you will change your mind. "If David doesn't change his mind, many people will die in the future, and everyone who deserves to die will die.

"David, what you said is meaningless. It is an objective fact that Medan Port needs more workers. Don't say they are devils. In fact, we are the same. When the albatross bombed Xianda, didn't they cause civilian casualties?" Andy You're welcome, don't talk about anyone these days, no one is much more noble than others.

"Maybe, maybe not, this is unavoidable!" David said indifferently, Xianda is now in ruins, there must be civilian casualties, but there is no way to pursue this issue, and it cannot be avoided in war.

What's more, for some people, life is really better than death, not to mention that death is worse than life. Mercenaries surrounded those poor women who Xianda sent back to Medan the day before, and half of them hanged themselves last night.

The Chinese still value chastity more than the whites. During the Boer War, more women were injured, and after the war, not many people committed suicide.

This is not the case for the Chinese. For many Chinese, chastity is more important than life. This includes not only women, but also men.

"Then you are a double standard." Andy looked contemptuous. To be honest, David was the real executioner with blood on his hands.

David is one of the elders of the protective umbrella. During these years of fighting in the north and south, the number of people who died in the hands of David is unknown. Many of them died without guilt, but there must be many innocent people.

"That's right, I have double standards. This is the creed of our umbrella company. What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine too!" David said without shame, talking about morality with mercenaries?

Crazy!

In the end, Andy didn't get what he wanted. Following David's order, nearly [-] officers and soldiers of the Second East India Division who surrendered were collectively executed.

The Medan army was in charge of the execution, and this was also one of the important tasks of their trip, seeing blood.

Three days later, the mercenaries returned to the port of Medan, and the Medan troops continued south across Lake Toba towards Pante.

Hicks was finally promoted and went to the Medan Army as the commander of the first regiment.

Hicks' deputy is still Middleton.

After seeing the "Albatross" bombing Xianda, Middleton once had the idea of ​​resigning, but under Hicks' persuasion, Middleton still gave up his idea.

The First Regiment is the first reorganized unit in Medan. The whole regiment has a total of 500 people. All officers above the second lieutenant are all mercenaries. In addition to being equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, in order to strengthen the firepower of the first regiment, David also The first regiment was equipped with mortars. In terms of firepower alone, the first regiment was second only to the mercenaries in Medan Port.

"Our mission is to occupy Pantey, and then use Pantey as a springboard to attack Padang, and then threaten Jambi and Palembang. After taking Palembang, it means that we control the entire Sumatra Island." Sigg This time, joining the Medan army is an opportunity. Maybe Hicks and Middleton can break away from the umbrella and become the top leaders of the East India in the future. This is why Hicks persuaded Middleton.

Although the umbrella company is also good, as mercenaries, Hicks and Middleton can't stay in one area for a long time, and the station changes as the mission progresses.

A bachelor like Hicks is better, but a person like Middleton with a family is very troublesome. The long-term separation between the two places has made Middleton extremely painful. Middleton hopes to be stable and reunite with his wife and children.

"How big is Sumatra?" Middleton hesitated looking at the map.

"47 square kilometers." Hicks sneered.

"47? God, our Nyasaland isn't that big—" Middleton couldn't believe it, but it doesn't look that big on the map.

It's really not that big, unless the actual control area of ​​Nyasaland in the Congo Free State is added.

"So, now you know why I am willing to stay. I have discussed with Lexus. Have you seen these small islands next to them? The largest is thousands of square kilometers, and the smallest is only tens of square meters. He will help I’ll buy one that’s about the same size, and it’s fine if it can develop a plantation of [-] acres, and then I’ll help him become a member of Congress in the future East India.” Hicks thought a little farther, and now the horoscope has not been written, and the members of Congress have come out .

Hicks is talking about the long string of small islands next to Sumatra. If Rock knew about it, he would definitely not recommend Hicks to buy it. If Hicks made his home on a small island, it would be fun if there was a tsunami or something. But it's big.

"What if it doesn't work?" Middleton deliberately found fault. It really sounds impossible, but it's man-made.

"Then pretend we didn't say anything." Hicks smiled. The exchange of benefits was just a tacit understanding.

"I'm going to buy one too, and then we'll be neighbors." Middleton was moved. It would be nice to be an island owner if he couldn't be a member of Congress.
