102 Adding fuel to the fire

Defecting to the British is like a part-time job, you must have the consciousness of doing dirty work and tiring work, so that when the boss eats meat, employees can mix soup and drink, it is impossible to just want to eat meat and not want to work, before the commando team went to the front, Rahul broke his arm, no matter how it was broken, even if it was really an accident, Rahul was also on Auguste Russell's blacklist, so now Rahul was thrown to Robben Island to fight whackers.

To be honest, Rahul's fate has little to do with Roque, even if Rahul doesn't make any mistakes after arriving at Stellenbosch, Rahul still can't escape this fate in the end.

This is the consequence of unenlightenment.

If you can, Roque doesn't want to carry the black cauldron, but people are under the eaves, and they should be low when they should bow their heads, not to mention, this is not a task of nine deaths, Auguste Russell has reminded Roque to act at the opportunity "when necessary", this "when necessary" is very operable, the operation is good, Roque is not only fine, but also successfully brushes a wave of presence in August Russell, and August Russell will also give Roque corresponding benefits, this is the principle of blessing and misfortune.

"Locke, be careful." Leaving the police station, Henry looked at Roque with a worried look.

"Hey, man, you should trust me at this point." Roque is full of confidence, the black cauldron is a floating cloud, and Roque is confident to complete the task without leaving anyone with any handle.

"Of course I believe in you, I've always believed in you." Henry finally smiled, even if it was a brother, Henry was an Englishman after all, and he definitely wanted Roque to play for England wholeheartedly.

Phew-

Plastic Flower Brothers!

In addition to "sending" Emily Hobhouse back to Cape Town, Roque came to Cape Town this time for other things, Henry sent more than 700 refugees to Oak Town last time, but Cape Town was still rationed according to the previous number of refugees, and did not increase the share of more than 700 people, Roque came to Cape Town this time, and he wanted to do this by the way.

"No problem, I'll leave this to me." Henry has a big deal this time, and Henry is the best at this kind of thing.

It is indeed good at it, Henry not only came to the ration of more than 700 people, but also easily changed all the families of the Boer coalition troops in the camp into ordinary refugees, so that the camp can also get an extra 500 pounds of meat every week.

The families of the Boer Coalition in the camp were originally not rationed with meat.

In fact, Henry still wanted to report more, but was rejected by Roque, what are you kidding, if you want to increase the ration, you can think of other ways, it is absolutely not okay to falsely report the number of people, the total number of people in the refugee camp is now more than 3,000, in case Henry reports 5,000 up, although the ration is indeed more, but if the statistics are counted after the war, what about these shortages?

He's dead?

If he dies, Roque becomes an enemy of the Boers, think about the mortality rate in the refugee camp -

Roque doesn't want to be written into the history books, and he will be scolded thousands of years later.

——

On 24 May, Lord Milner announced the British annexation of the Orange Free State at Bloemfontein. On 29 May, General French, commanding an Australian cavalry force, defeated the last defensive force at the Klip River on the southern outskirts of Johannesburg, and on 31 May, Roberts entered Johannesburg.

Johannesburg is not the capital of the Transvaal, but the economic center of the Transvaal, known as the "Golden Capital".

After the British army captured Johannesburg, the peak of the army pointed directly at Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal, that is, Tshwane in the 21st century, if the British army captured Pretoria, it would also mean the end of the war.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking on the part of the British, and after Joubert was killed, Louis Botha, the best general of the Boer coalition, took over as commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition army, this man was dangerous, he was the one who captured Winston in the first place, in 1907 the Transvaal established an autonomous government, Louis Botha was the prime minister, and in 1910 the Union of South Africa was formed, and Louis Botha was also the first prime minister.

Compared to the grandeur of the outside world, the dark tide of Oak Town is surging.

Emily Hobhouse, though sent away by Roque, still has an impact on Oak Town.

The women and children in the camp are fine, different from Emily Hobhouse's imagination, the women and children in the camp did not do anything childish, compared with Emily Hobhouse, they are obviously more mature, even the children, can clearly feel the changes that Roque has brought to the refugee camp, so when Emily Hobhouse was in the refugee camp, she almost did not receive any negative comments about Roque from the women and children.

Relatively speaking, it was more questionable which of the Boer prisoners who were still in quarantine.

Roque knew that the two German priests had spoken to the Boer prisoners during their time in the camp.

Unfortunately, because of the language, Roque didn't know what they had said.

But a noticeable shift was a subtle change in the attitude of the Boer prisoners towards the guards after Emily Hobhouse's group left the camp.

Before Emily Hobhouse and her party entered the camp, the Boer prisoners were only obedient and fearful in the face of the guards, after all, they did not know whether the British would change their decision and send them all to the execution ground.

After Emily Hobhouse and her party left, the attitude of the captives changed, their eyes began to change from evasion and fear to hatred and provocation, and their behavior became more and more presumptuous, and they began to consciously confront the guards and disobey the management.

This was not possible before.

"In troubled times, we have to do something to let those captives know who is in charge here." Anton also realizes that something is wrong and reminds Roque which prisoners to look out for.

"What do you want to do?" On the wall behind Roque hung two flintlock pistols from the era of smoothbore guns, both of which were now antiques, but purely decorative.

"Reduce their food supply, don't let them eat too much, so they don't have the energy to make trouble." Anton's plan was simple and practical, and the reason why those Boer captives had the strength to make trouble was simply because they were full.

"No, no, no, meet their demands, increase their food supply, and by the way, replace the guards with turbans and remove our people." Roque did the opposite, not only not punishing the captives, but even conniving.

"Why?" Anton was puzzled.

"No, why, if they want to die, then fulfill them." Roque has already made a murderous intention, and if God wants to destroy people, he must first make them crazy, and if those captives don't make trouble, Roque will not be able to complete the task assigned by August Russell.
