Chapter 93

Stick, it is definitely impossible.

The British are much richer than the Japanese. The Japanese hire Koreans as policemen, and they don’t even have the money to buy batons for the Koreans. They can only give each person a wooden stick. The British are quite generous in this regard. All kinds of weapons are available, and the logistics supply is regardless of the cost, which is not too much compared with the local regular army.

What's more, the Chinese police also have a "pig teammate", that is, those "big turbans" with more numbers. "That's right.

The statistical results are surprising. Rock really underestimated the quality of the refugees. There are not only doctors and brewers in the refugee camps, but also teachers, accountants, translators, bank staff, stage actors, painters, etc.

After reading Jeffrey's statistical results, although Roque didn't know what kind of education level the British had now, the overall quality of the refugees must have surpassed the overall quality of the citizens of most countries at this time.

"This Kate, this Eve, and Scarlett, I want these people—" Ada picked out all the accountants in the refugee camp.

"Leave one for me." Rock was in a hurry. Ada needed an accountant, and so did Rock.

"Then leave Kate to you, she is the youngest—" Ada leaned against the bar, giggling with her mouth covered, full of coquettishness.

What a witch!

"No, I want this Scarlett. She is the oldest and should have the most experience." Rock doesn't want a little girl, Kate is only 19 years old, what will she do?

It should be said that for the profession of accountants, the older you are, the more experienced you are. What Rock needs is experience, not vases.

In fact, Scarlett is not very old, she is only 23 years old. In the 21st century, that is, she just graduated from university, but Scarlett, who is 23 years old this year, has 11 years of work experience and started working at the age of 12. !

It's normal. Rock doesn't know what kind of misery white people are living in these days. It's normal to start working at the age of 12. There are some sweatshops, and there are even child laborers under the age of ten. Those child laborers are working and adult Work as high-intensity as a person, and generally do not live to adulthood.

"Maybe you can set up a school, and these teachers, translators, and painters can all be employed as teachers in the school. If you can provide education for their children, those workers in Putao will work harder." Ai With a lot of ideas, it's no wonder that a widow lives like a fish in water in Cape Town.

"Okay, you can figure it out." Rock delegated power, and it could be seen that Ada didn't like Cape Town. In Oak Town, Ada really felt like a fish in water.

A day later, Roque hired 120 Boer women to work on his vineyard. These women all had children. They and their children still lived in the camp. They left the camp during the day to work in Roque's vineyard. , back to the refugee camp at night, can reunite with their children.

These 120 Boer women and their children first lived in the military tents "donated" by Ada. These military tents are very spacious, and there are several windows on the tents. During the day, the curtains outside the windows can be ventilated. Light transmission, put down the curtain at night, it can also keep warm.

A military tent can accommodate four refugee families. Ada also sent camp beds along with the tent. Although the beds are relatively small, they are vastly different from the previous burrows.

In the past, there were no beds in the refugee camps, and the refugees slept on the ground. They could still make ends meet in summer, but definitely not in winter.

Another week later, the school in the refugee camp officially opened. The classrooms are also military tents. The courses are only simple English, mathematics, physical education, music, and art. All school-age children can learn. When the sound of reading is heard, Everyone passing the classroom couldn't help but slow down, and the eyes of the women finally glowed with vitality. Their lives were colorless before, but now, although the future is still bleak, at least they see hope.

With Ada's help, Rock's work is much easier. Every afternoon, what Rock likes most is to sit with Ada on the balcony on the second floor of the Oak Bar, looking at the endless vineyards and the changing Oak Town. Rock was satisfied.

Leisure time is always rare. At the beginning of April, a British army team with a total number of about 50 people came to Oak Town. They were unarmed, dejected, and disciplined. They wore crooked military uniforms, like a group of deserters who had been defeated. .

Rock almost forgot that this is the "City of Cowards". No need to ask, this is another group of cowards who were thrown over to reflect on themselves. There are many such cowards. They all live in the barracks next to Fort Simmons, and there are usually few Appears in Oaktown.

The so-called "cowards" are only relative to the Boer coalition forces on the battlefield. After leaving the battlefield, these "cowards" are very arrogant. The two Zulu men carrying building materials did not notice them, but just passed in front of them. Surrounded by them and knocked to the ground, Kaka and Yaya, who were in charge of the work, did not dare to stop them. They just watched from a distance, not even daring to show their faces.

"Look, this is the regular army of the British Empire. They are all deserters on the battlefield. They were dispatched here to reflect, but when facing civilians, their performance is not bad." Ada sneered, no wonder the 25 regular army It can't beat tens of thousands of Boers in the area——

No, the regular army in Cape now has more than 30 people, and the British government is still increasing its troops. It seems that even if it is a pile of people, the British government will pile up the Boers alive.

"The Boers are actually quite powerful. Their performance on the battlefield is no worse than that of the regular army." Rock has fought against the guerrillas and the regular army of the Boer coalition at the same time, so he is definitely qualified to evaluate.

Beating those who dare not resist does not actually bring much pleasure. Those "cowards" soon lost interest in the two Zulus lying on the ground with their heads folded and did not dare to resist. At this time, they found the Oak Bar, So it was like discovering a new continent. Although it was not yet the bar's business hours, they were still clamoring around the bar door, demanding that the bar open now.

"Go, go, open for business, these bastards, if you don't agree to them, they won't stop." Ada has seen this kind of thing a lot, so she started to open.

Fortunately, Ada has brought in experienced bartenders from the Table Mountain Bar, and hired a few bar girls from the refugee camp, so she can handle these soldiers no problem.

However, Rock and Ada still underestimated the degree of bastards of these soldiers.
