97 Infighting

Because the expeditionary force confiscated all the heavy weapons of the guerrillas, leaving only the pistols for self-defense for the partisans, the Albert Simpson brothers had to go to Cape Town to obtain long weapons.

Roque can't find the three Albert Simpson brothers, it doesn't mean that Louis Botha can't find them, through this incident, Roque has enough reason to believe that even if the guerrillas are disbanded, Louis Botha must have a way to contact all the guerrillas, so as long as the Albert Simpson brothers appear in Orange, Louis Botha will find them.

The good guy did it to the end, Louis Botha did not sit on the ground, and directly told Roque the hiding place of the three Albert Simpson brothers and Cliff.

Roque immediately arranged for someone to arrest him.

This time, there is no need for Roque to come out in person, Roque has to discuss a plan with Louis Botha to try to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"It is impossible to completely eradicate it, hatred has been planted and cannot be eliminated in a short time, unless all of our generation dies." Louis Botha was pessimistic and did not see the possibility of reconciling the contradictions between the Boers and the British.

On the surface, this is a contradiction between Boer farmers and Chinese farmers, but in fact, both Roque and Louis Botha are very clear that the root of the contradiction between the Chinese and the Boers is still the contradiction between the Boers and the British.

"One thing you have to be clear, Louis, the British in southern Africa are not the same as the British in Britain itself." Roque stressed to Louis Botha.

Louis Botha's eyes immediately widened: "What do you mean?" ”

"I mean, there is no difference between the Boers and the British, whether it is the Boers or the British, or we Chinese, and now we are all Afrikans, and we all have to fight for the establishment of a new federation of prosperity, democracy, and civilization—" Roque painted a pie to Louis Botha, clearly proposing the concept of a "new federation."

"You Chinese and British are now vested interests, of course you will say so, but who will consider the interests of our Boers?" Louis Botha was also full of complaints, no matter how good the British treated the Boers, the Boers would eventually lose their country.

"Aren't those compensations, relief payments, and loans in consideration of the interests of the Boers? Even the placement of the Boers in Orange was for the sake of the Boers, otherwise would the remaining Boers in the Transvaal cause new contradictions? That's a certainty. "Roque did not give Louis Botha a chance to quibble, if the first 000000 was not enough to appease the Boers, now another 000000 is coming, if the Boers are not satisfied, it is insatiable.

Johannesburg will accept the final distribution of £000, also in this regard.

Whether or not Philip Matilda admits that the city of Johannesburg has received the greatest dividends from the war, Johannesburg will have to bear more responsibility, otherwise Johannesburg will have to pay the price if the Boers in Orange return.

"Accept the reality, Luis, the Boers can no longer have their own country, but the Boers have jumped out of the previous limitations and have a wider space, and now the Boers can go to the Cape, Natal, Rhodesia, which was absolutely impossible before, we have to look forward, and this is a good thing in the long run." Roque doesn't care about the immediate gains and losses, Louis Botha is a smart man, he will understand, otherwise he will not show favor to Roque.

At the beginning, the Boer Republic took the initiative to ask for negotiations, which was also a desperate and helpless move, and the matter has come to this point, what is the point of worrying about it?

It is better to seize the time to rebuild the homeland, gain a firm foothold in three or five years, and then wait for the democratic representative in three or five years.

The democratic representative system is the establishment of a democratically elected government, and the parliamentarians elected by the citizens participate in politics on behalf of the citizens, and the United Kingdom and the United States use the democratic representative system.

Representative institutions are also an important aspect of the DPA, and Article 8 of the DPA provides for the establishment of a system of representative self-government in South Africa when conditions are ripe.

Note that "South Africa" is used here, not the Transvaal and Orange.

That is, the British government agreed to establish a system of representative self-government in each of the four Cape colonies when the conditions were ripe.

This is actually a pit dug by Ade for the Boers, the so-called "conditions are ripe", and there is no quantitative measure, so when the conditions will be ripe, it is the British government that has the final say.

In fact, the Boer Republic did not attach much importance to this article, and when it was signed, the representative of the Boer Republic certainly did not expect that the conditions would mature so quickly-

Jan Smoltz went to London in 1905 and tentatively asked Prime Minister Campbell Bannerman about it, and Campbell Bannerman readily agreed.

Even Jan Smozi couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, Sir Locke, do you think the British government will agree to us forming a 'new federation'?" Louis Botha couldn't believe it either.

"How can you know if you don't try, the Boer War, of course, you are injured, London is also exhausted, no one wants to see the war break out again, so, let's wait and see, but before that, we must first develop our own strength, we can't spend our energy on unnecessary internal friction, people like the Albert Simpson brothers are very dangerous and unstable, they are like time bombs, they can cause conflicts between the Transvaal and Orange at any time, so, Such dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible. Roque made a request, not afraid that Louis Botha would not agree, and that the Boers needed more recuperation than the Chinese.

If Louis Botha disagrees, then Roque will use some unconventional means to make the Boers feel like they are often attacked, and it is easy to do this, without the need for the Chinese, Yaya has Zulu people who need to work, but the police department does not look down on them.

So far, the Johannesburg Police Service has undergone two significant expansions, but the number of Zulu police officers is still only about 200.

In addition to this, Roque sent more than 1,000 retired Zulu scouts to Portuguese East Africa, who not only trained the Yao, but also participated in attacks against the Portuguese.

Despite this, Yaya still has thousands of retired Zulu scouts under her command, most of whom are now in Zululand, waiting for Yaya to assign them work.

"How do you clear it?" Louis Botha's face was ugly, and Roque's words were indeed rude.

"Don't be angry with Luis, we must nip the danger in the bud compared to the serious consequences they can cause." Roque doesn't think it's rude, if there are also unstable factors among the Chinese, Roque will also clean up in advance: "At the very least, before they commit a crime, if they stay in their place of residence, they must be monitored as necessary, if they go out, they must report to the police station in advance, explain the direction, purpose, time, etc., if they suddenly disappear, then the police station should report in time to facilitate the arrest of the higher police station - in order to achieve this purpose, the police station needs to register all the permanent residents in the jurisdiction - In addition, if they commit a crime, then the punishment must be increased at sentencing, the shooting of the execution, the exile of the exile, at this time the punishment must be increased in order to form a deterrent to the criminals. ”

If he could, Roque wanted to launch a "strike hard", but unfortunately it was unrealistic to launch a "strike hard" in the Transvaal and Orange, the Transvaal and Orange were so white, and if you investigated carefully, you will find that the buttocks are not clean, and they really can't withstand a few beatings.

What Roque said is actually just a basic monitoring method, and a higher way is the "armor protection system", but in modern society, the implementation of the "armor protection system" is also unrealistic, so Luo Ke can only retreat to the second.

"Hehe, Locke, have you ever wondered how much this will increase the cost of policing?" Louis Botha didn't really understand how much value could be gained by doing so.

"Maybe a little more, but it's worth it—" Roque is not afraid to spend money, and the Johannesburg Police Department is already doing so.

"I'm sorry Sir Locke, but Orange can't do it right now." Louis Botha looked down and finally admitted that the Orange Police Department was not as rich as the Johannesburg Police Department.

In fact, Roque knew what Louis Botha meant, and if Roque now promised that the Johannesburg Police Department would be responsible for all the costs incurred, then Louis Botha would definitely agree.

But Roque won't do that, the Boers are now about to be spoiled, and they want to eat and take cards, so Roque won't get used to the bad things of the Boers.

——

After receiving Roque's order, Martin immediately set off with a commando and detective team.

The Albert Simpson brothers hid in a place called Rosendale on the border of Orange and Basutoland (Lesotho).

The vicinity of Rosendaal is hilly, fertile farmland that had been developed to a certain extent before the Boer War.

When the war broke out, the farms near Rosendaal, as elsewhere in Orange, were abandoned, and as a result, the Zulu people of Basutoland took advantage of the opportunity to occupy them.

The Albert Simpson brothers, now a dozen or so men, were ready to rest for a while at Rosendaal before heading to the Transvaal to relaunch a new guerrilla war in the Transvaal.

"I said, brothers, you have seriously underestimated the strength of the Johannesburg Police Department, they are much more difficult to deal with than the expeditionary force, and I suggest that we should go to Natal, do a vote in Natal, and then go to Portuguese East Africa, or go to Australia, it is better than to go to Johannesburg." Cliff didn't want to go to Johannesburg, and when he thought of the deep dungeon inside the Johannesburg Police Department, Cliff felt itching in the cracks of his bones.

Roque had forgotten Cliff, but the police in Johannesburg had not.

When Cliff was locked up in the dungeon, every once in a while, police officers would come to Cliff to "talk", "ask" about Cliff's purpose in Johannesburg, and "help" Cliff remember what Cliff had done during the war.

While in the guerrillas, Cliff considered himself a man, otherwise he would not have been qualified to be Louis Botha's guard.

At the Johannesburg Police Department, Cliff is a black bear who has been tortured.

It's not a shame, within a week of Cliff being locked up in the dungeon, more than a dozen "neighbors" died, and at most three people died in one night, Cliff didn't know where the bodies were sent, it was strictly forbidden to discuss these in the dungeon, and those policemen monitored the dungeon with earpieces, and if anyone dared to communicate about this, then it would be a whip at least a whip, or a direct execution, the harshness was outrageous.

"Hehe, Brother Cliff, were you scared out of those yellow people?" Cody, the youngest of the three Albert Simpson brothers, mocked Cliff unscrupulously, and Albert Simpson himself seemed to laugh.

Cody is a little guy who is only eighteen years old, don't look at this guy's young age, but his personality is very brutal, everyone else kills people as much as possible with a knife, but this guy likes to kill people slowly, enjoying the screams and begging for mercy before the victims.

"Hehe, Cody, don't think that if you kill a few people, you will be invincible in the world, everyone here has killed a lot of people, and it is on a dignified battlefield, not a sneak attack from behind, or killing people who are tied up, whether the police in Johannesburg are powerful or not, you can try to know." Cliff also seemed to be smiling, the pistol was within reach, and as for whether Cliff was brave or not, it was not Cody who could evaluate.

Truth be told, among the Boers, Cliff had a much greater fame than the Albert Simpson brothers, and if it weren't for Cliff, with the fame of the Albert Simpson brothers, they would not have found a helper at all.

The massacre of unarmed ordinary people was despicable even among the Boers.

"Hahahaha, I don't believe how powerful those yellow people are, they can't even protect their wives, I'm going to cut off all their heads." Cody laughs unbridled and chops off his head are his latest hobby.

After arriving at Rosendaal, the Albert Simpson brothers slaughtered several Zulu families in order not to leak the news, and their heads were cut off by Cody, even those who were already dead.

"I wish you success, you'll have a chance—" Cliff said absent-mindedly, determined to leave the madmen as soon as possible.

Cody was about to retort when several gunshots rang out outside the door, and then someone used a tin horn to persuade him to surrender.

"Albert Simpson, I know you're inside, you're surrounded by us, right now lay down your arms and raise your hands to surrender is your only way out, you only have five minutes, in five minutes we'll burn all the houses here, if you don't want to be a roast suckling pig, then throw your weapons out now, put your hands behind your head and walk out of the house-"

"Fa - who is it, who betrayed us!" Cody was furious.

"Damn, how would the police know we're here!"

"What do you mean?"

Before the police could attack, the improvised small team descended into infighting.
