Of course, reservations were necessary, and in the plans of Police Chief August Russell, the commandos were not only to be retained, but also to be further expanded.

As a violent agency, August Russell also hopes that he has a force that can fight well, and it is unreliable to count on those Indian patrol officers, and August Russell also knows that those Indian patrol officers are just appearances, and they can be used to scare people, but they are not useful at all at critical times.

After the formation of the commando, Roque only led the commando team once, and captured several gold smugglers, and it was this operation that allowed Auguste Russell to see the potential of the commando, this idea is correct, so although the rioters have been punished, the commando team will definitely not be disbanded, because no one is sure whether similar incidents will occur in Cape Town in the future.

"Locke, Mr. Director is very satisfied with your work, and the commando team will take on more important tasks next, and you must be ready at any time." Austin Pence's attitude towards Roque is not bad, although Roque is still not qualified to sit down, but because of the gold, it is obvious that Roque has been named in Austin Pence's heart, and Austin Pence is classified as his own.

"The size of the commando team needs to be further expanded, and personnel can be recruited externally or internally, what is your opinion on this?" Austin Pence asks for Roque's opinion, after all, Roque is the actual head of the commando, although nominally Henry is the captain of the commando.

"I have no opinion, Mr. Inspector." Roque gave up the right to make a request, and although Roque could take the opportunity to ask for more police officers to be recruited from the Huayong Battalion, Roque did not want to make this suggestion himself, which would make a bad impression on Austin Pence.

"Very well, let's go back to work." Austin Pence didn't embarrass Roque, picked up an envelope from the table and handed it to Roque: "This is the bonus for closing the case, given by Titus Mining, let's go have a drink after work." ”

Sure enough, Titus Mining Company was able to bypass the police station to deal with this matter, and the police department must have received a lot of benefits, and Austin Pence did not treat Roque badly, which is the right way to be an official.

Back in his office, Roque opened the envelope, which contained a hundred pounds worth of notes.

Roque thought for a moment, put the envelope in the drawer of his desk, and got up to find Henry.

"Of the £100 I spent less than 20, who should I give the rest?" Roque has a beginning and an end to doing things, rewards are rewards, funds are funds, and unused funds must be handed over.

"You keep it for the people below, uh, what about your informants?" Henry doesn't care about that little money, Roque gets the benefits, and Henry must get more benefits.

"One is crippled, I hired him to mow the lawn, the other three have not been heard from yet, I suspect they ran away with the money I gave, don't let me catch them." Roque was stunned, except for Zack, the other three people have not heard any news so far, which is indeed a shame.

"Hahahaha, I told you a long time ago that those Boers can't be trusted." Henry will definitely not let go of this opportunity to mock Roque, this is a good thing, Roque can't behave too perfectly, he should give people some opportunities to laugh at himself, otherwise Roque will not have friends.

"I also know that the Boers cannot be trusted, but if we don't believe in the Boers now, who else can we trust?" Roque can't help it, in Cape Town, if you want to do things, you can only trust the Boers, even if the probability of being trustworthy is only a quarter of them.

"The bureau wants to expand the establishment of the commando team, what do you think?" Henry still asked the question after all, and even if Henry didn't ask, Roque would find a way to steer the conversation in that direction.

"From my standpoint, I definitely hope to hire more police officers from the Huayong Battalion, the performance of the Chinese police is obvious to all, they are loyal, hardworking, skilled, and have no interest in the local Boers, but it's a pity that I said it doesn't count, now we can only choose Indians and Boers to expand the size of the commando, even if all the Chinese policemen are put into the commando, there are only thirty people, what can this scale do?" Roque quietly entrained, it is best for Henry to mention this matter, Roque can't say it, if he says it, he will be suspicious.

"Hire from the Huayong Camp - too far." It's not that Henry hates the Chinese police, but he just thinks it's troublesome, and the Huayong battalion is stationed in Weihai, Qing State, which is too far away from the Cape.

"Distance is not a problem, the Huayong of the Huayong Battalion has already undergone the initial training of the Huayong Battalion, and there is no problem with their individual technical and tactical movements, the only problem is the cost, from Qingguo to Cape, the ticket is the main problem." Roque doesn't worry about anything else, only about the cost, and Anton is reluctant to even drink a beer now, just to get his family to Cape Town as soon as possible.

"Fees? What can be a problem with fees? Roque, you may not know it, as long as it is an alien population who immigrates to the Cape, the Governor's Palace will bear all the costs. Henry provided news that left Roque dumbfounded.

"The Doge's Mansion covers all the costs?" Roque couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in this year!

"Hahahaha, yes, I can't imagine it, the Governor's Mansion bears all the costs, as long as someone is willing to immigrate to Cape, the Governor's Mansion will reimburse all the immigration expenses, this regulation has been implemented since ten years ago." Henry seemed happy to laugh at Roque, though Roque didn't feel ridiculous.

This is the asymmetry of information, the Cape Colony does have this provision, and not only the Cape Colony, about thirty years ago, in Australia, in New Zealand, and even in Canada, the local colonial government in order to attract immigrants, there are regulations in this regard, as long as someone is willing to emigrate, no matter where he comes from, the colonial government will reimburse the cost of immigration.

The crux of the matter is that many people are unaware of this regulation, especially for the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, who could never have imagined that white people would spend so much money in order to attract immigrants.

This news is so important that as long as the cost of the ferry ticket is settled, Anton and his family will no longer have any obstacles to immigrate to Cape Town, unlike Roque who settled down in Mill Street, Anton and his family do not want to spend the money on buying a house, but are going to buy a farm in the suburbs of Cape Town.

Compared to buying a house, buying a farm is too simple, because the outbreak of war put the British army on the front line at a disadvantage, and the farm is now the least valuable, a farm with 1,500 acres will cost about less than 200 pounds.

Of course, for Anton and them, 200 pounds is not a small number, and it will take several years to save little by little from their salary.

Good thing there is Roque!
