Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 81

Lacey is very bad.

The Cape Colony is very large, but for many people, the Cape Colony is also very small, especially Cape Town, a place that is bigger than the palm of your hand. There is a secret history of scandals, and the city can be full of storms in minutes. Henry was killed by General Hopkins It is not a secret to drive out the army, and those who are interested will know the real reason after a little understanding.

The director of the Cape Mining Bureau is also an official in the Cape Colony. The marriage between Swift and Hopkins is a strong alliance. Now that Lacey and Henry are having an affair, Swift is of course very unhappy, but no It doesn't matter if you're happy, marriage, this kind of thing is very normal, both parties are pursuing the other party's political resources, the relationship between the children is not important, the most important thing is the close integration of the two families.

The key is Lacey's attitude, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Henry gave Lacey. According to Ada, Lacey cried all day long at home and postponed her marriage twice in a row. The resistance to the marriage was also evident.

"I'm going to find Lacey." Knowing Lacey's recent situation, Henry couldn't bear it anymore.

Ada watched Henry silently with great interest. All Cape Townians were very interested in this rocket-like upstart.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that. You have confirmed Lacey's attitude now, so what you have to do is not to comfort Lacey, but to go to General Hopkins like a man and talk to Hope General Kings had a conversation between men." Rock disapproved of Henry going to Lacey, it would appear that Henry's structure was insufficient, so he went to Hopkins and told Hopkins that Henry could give Lacey a bright future.

Ada's eyes turned to Rock again, and Ada's eyes could be felt burning through the veil.

"You asked me to go to Lacey just now, and now you asked me to go to Hopkins, what are you going to do to me?" Henry was going crazy, Rock became too fast, and Henry couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

"Just now I asked you to go to Lacey to confirm Lacey's attitude. If Lacey is ready to accept General Hopkins' arrangement, then don't disturb Lacey's life anymore. Now you know Lacey's attitude." , then go directly to General Hopkins. If General Hopkins agrees to your marriage with Lacey, of course it would be best. If General Hopkins disagrees, at least Lacey will not see hope. Disappointed again!" Rock's most important thing is Lacey's feelings, as for General Hopkins and Henry, they are both big pigs, and they don't feel it.

"Locke, you still don't understand women—" Ada said so, but her eyes obviously didn't mean it: "Henry, if I were you, I would go directly to General Hopkins' house and snatch Lacey away."

It's still the simplest and rude way for women to solve problems!

"What are you talking about?" Phyllis also appeared by the swimming pool. The little girl was obviously dressed up, wearing a lavender tunic dress that Roque had never seen before, and a colorful fluffy sandals on top. A flowery long-sleeved shirt, with a little blush on her face, her hair is simply coiled up, tied together with a silver hairpin studded with diamonds, this outfit is very casual, giving full play to her age advantage, Ada is Don't dare to wear it like this.

"Please allow me to introduce—" Roque tried to introduce Ada to Phyllis, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his mouth.

How to say?

Could it be introduced as Henry said: This is the most beautiful and richest widow in Cape Town, and also my lover—no, more than a lover, less than a lover—

It is estimated that Ada will spill the coffee in her hand on Rock's face.

"Ada—Ada Capet" Ada introduced herself, using her original surname instead of her ex-husband's.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Phyllis Matilda." Phyllis did not need Roque to introduce herself, and Roque also helped Phyllis open the chair.

"Phyllis, tell me, should I go to Lacey, or should I go to Lacey's father?" Henry had no idea now, and began to ask Phyllis for ideas.

"I think you should go home to find your father and win his support first." Sure enough, Phyllis gave a new possibility.

"God, help me!" Henry wailed and jumped into the swimming pool without even taking off his clothes.

Well, drowning yourself is also an option, once and for all.

When Ada left Rock's house, she didn't take a carriage, but chose to walk with Rock.

"I thought you wouldn't come—" Of course Rock wanted to see Ada off.

"I thought you couldn't come back—" Ada gently took Rock's arm, looking exhausted.

Rock can understand that Ada's ex-husband died in the last war, and Ada was also bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, so Ada reacted so violently after knowing that Rock was going to the front line.

"Tell me your story on the front line. I want to know what you have been through." Ada is very curious about Roque's experience. Ordinary people only know that Henry killed Joubert, and only a few people know that Roque played a role in it. The role of Ada is a minority.

"You don't want to know about those—the endless battles—the charge of blood and blood—every fallen figure—there are family members who miss you obsessively—" Rock is really not sensational, only experienced The kind of stimulation of walking on the edge of life and death makes people yearn for an ordinary life: "In fact, the Boers are not as greedy as the legends say. Their weapons are very simple, and some even use flintlock guns. Some people wear heroic The military system, not that they want to do this, but that the Boer coalition army has no ability to provide them with uniform uniforms—"

Rock suddenly realized that saying this might bring back bad memories from Ada, so Rock immediately changed the subject.

"It's the British government that's greedy. What does it have to do with the Boers? That's just a bunch of poor people." Ada also knew the twists and turns. Although the Boers initiated the second Boer War, it still This situation was deliberately created by the British.

In fact, the first Boer War was also created by the British on their own initiative.

If the Boers are guilty, then they are guilty. The geographical location of Cape Town is too important, so the British drove the Boers away and occupied Cape Town.

The Boers, who could not defeat the British, migrated inland and finally settled down. Unexpectedly, the Rand gold mine was discovered on the territory of the Boers, so the British once again provoked the war, this time to establish the Boers. The country was completely annexed, because in the whole of southern Africa, there is no room for the Boers to live. Further north is the territory of the Portuguese, to the west is the colony of the Germans, and to the east is the Indian Ocean.

　The Boers are indeed unlucky, and now it looks even more unlucky——Finally independent——
