153 Temporary Workers

In 1900, there was no concept of social welfare in the world, not even for white people, not to mention the Zulus.

As a result, most of the retired Zulu scouts are now in Johannesburg, hoping to earn a living after leaving the army, and they have no choice as to what they do.

This is certainly a good thing for alleviating the labor shortage in Johannesburg, but it is definitely not a good thing for the Johannesburg Police Department, if those Zulu scouts can find jobs quickly, it is good to say, if they can't find jobs in a short period of time, it will cause serious social security risks.

In fact, the key is to see what the Zulus think, if they are down to earth and accept reality, then it is easy to find a job in Johannesburg.

I'm afraid, those retired scouts are used to the recklessness on the battlefield, and do not accept the fate of mining for the mines, although the British do not pay attention to those scouts, but they have also learned a lot of professional skills in the army, if they learn those skills to use?

Well, Roque can only hope that the Zulu people in these years are not bright, otherwise, the law and order situation in Johannesburg will be even more severe in the future.

In fact, the law and order situation in Johannesburg is already very serious, and just half a month ago, a patrol of the Welch Fusiliers Regiment was attacked by the Boers while patrolling the city of Johannesburg.

Norman Theresa was so ruthless that he threw all the Boers within four blocks of the attack into a concentration camp, and all the Boer buildings in the area were burned down, probably from which Martin bought the sterling silver cutlery.

Although he knew the dangers of black people, Roque couldn't solve the problem, which was not part of Roque's scope of work.

Roque can only choose from the retired scouts as many as possible to supplement the detective team and enrich the strength of the detective team.

In fact, the Zulus in this era are still very reliable, in the second Boer War, in order to hire Zulus to fight for the British Empire, the British did not even spend a penny, only promised to give the livestock on the Boer farm to the Zulus, and then improved the social status of the Zulus after the war, which attracted tens of thousands of Zulus to fight for the British Empire.

To the displeasure of the Zulus, the British did not keep their promises, the social status of the Zulus was not improved, they did not get the livestock on the Boer farms, and the Zulus who died or were disabled in the war did not even have pensions, and in the eyes of the British, the Zulus were like night pots, and after being used, they were still in the corner of the yard.

Relatively speaking, Roque is already good, at least Roque hires those retired scouts and will pay them a certain salary.

Although the salaries paid to the Zulu police officers are certainly not as much as those paid to the Chinese police officers and the Boer police officers, this is already very surprising to the Zulu people.

On the 3rd, no news of the partisans could be found, but clashes broke out again between the police department and the Welch Fusiliers.

Two Boer policemen who were on duty at the police station site were verbally abused by the Welch Fusiliers patrol, who were so insulted that they scolded the Welch Fusiliers patrol, only to be beaten by the Welch Fusiliers patrol.

One officer suffered minor injuries and one suffered a broken rib and needed to be sent back to Pretoria for treatment.

If it's just scolding, then forget it, it's a bit too much to do it, and it's even more unbearable to be broken ribs, after Roque found out, he immediately went to Norman Theresa to seek justice for his subordinates.

"I'm sorry, but our head isn't here." Norman Theresa's men remained arrogant, looking at Roque with defiant and disdainful gazes.

Not bad, at least this time without turning around and leaving.

But there is no intention to report or make a phone call.

That is, before Roque's arrival, someone told the guards what to say.

"Okay, when your head returns, tell him I've been here." Roque doesn't talk nonsense either, and he's not ready to go to Pretoria to sue.

It's not good to sue for this kind of thing.

To put it mildly, if Roque goes to Alfred Milner when he gets into some trouble, then even if Alfred Milner will give Roque full support, I am afraid that he will leave a bad impression on Roque.

If you think about it, you can understand that if you go to the governor to call the shots when something happens, then what is the meaning of Roque's existence?

If you can't even solve this little trouble, how can you get greater trust from your superiors?

Therefore, Roque wants to take the initiative to solve this trouble, and it is definitely not Roque's style to swallow his anger.

Back at the police station, Roque called Martin, Lide, and Yaya all over.

"Director, it's easy to find trouble with the Welch Fusiliers, find someone to touch porcelain—" Martin heard Roque's request, and immediately had an idea.

Martin, this guy, has Roque to support Martin, and Martin has completely released his nature.

"How?" Compared to Martin, Li De is definitely a good boy.

"It's too simple, the Welch Flintlock Musketeers beat our people, they will definitely prevent us from retaliating these days, they don't come to us, let's go to them, Johannesburg is even a military administration, and it is only natural for our police to patrol the streets - in fact, it is very simple to find trouble with the Welch Flintlock Musketeers, just let our people dangle in front of the patrols of the Welch Flintlock Musketeers, I don't believe those soldiers can bear it, if they want to do it again, if they really fight, who are our brothers afraid of?" Martin is confident.

In fact, the key lies in the question of whether or not to dare to fight back.

The two policemen who were beaten were Boers, and they must have been restrained in the face of a regular army composed entirely of British, the police were not as good as the regular army, and the Boers were psychologically weak in front of the British, the key was that there were only two policemen, and the other party was a whole patrol, and the disadvantages were infinitely magnified in several aspects.

Martin's confidence lies in the fact that he is really going to let go of his hands and feet, and the commando team is really not afraid of anyone.

In fact, as early as the Huayong Battalion, the Huayong received strict training, and after coming to the Cape, Roque did not relax the training of the commandos for a day, if this could not defeat the regular army that was not even as good as the Boers, the Chinese policemen of the Johannesburg Police Department should go home early to pick up their children.

"Martin, make a plan, Yaya, your detective team is responsible for the implementation-" Roque clapped, no, the "temporary worker" is indeed useful, and it is now in use.
