157 Indemnification

Back in Johannesburg, the morale of the police department was low, and no one felt good about this kind of thing.

In the evening, Roque called Buck, Martin, and Reed during dinner.

Dinner was still good, the Johannesburg Police Department chartered the Golden Mountain Hotel, Marvin and his two apprentices took over the kitchen, these two apprentices are Chinese, they were called by Marven, and Marven's family arrived in Cape at the same time, and now Marven's family has settled in Oak Town, Marven took his apprentice and Roque to Johannesburg together.

If you are in a bad mood, no matter how good the food is, you don't know how to eat it.

"Come on, have a drink." Roque raised his glass.

Barker, Martin, and Reed were all silent, holding their glasses and gesturing to Roque, before taking a dip.

"I know that the brothers are aggrieved in this matter, don't worry, sooner or later the Transvaal will be lifted from military control, and these troops will eventually be withdrawn, and when the time comes, we will have the final say here." After walking out of the Palace of Justice, Roque is not the same Roque as before.

In the past, Roque just wanted to find a place for his brothers in the Cape to live better in this troubled world.

Now Roque is no longer passive, the fate of the brothers cannot be in the hands of the British, the British are unreliable, the Boers are unreliable, the Zulu are even more unreliable, and the brothers, or the Chinese, if they want to live in South Africa, can only rely on themselves.

"Head, in fact, the brothers don't blame you, the brothers all know that you have done everything you can, you don't blame you for this, only the foreign devils of the dog day." Martin hated it.

"The brothers are also holding back the fire in their hearts, when they were patrolling in the afternoon, there were soldiers of the Welch Fusiliers Regiment who provoked them, and the brothers fought with them again, the foreign devils looked tall and big, but in fact, they were not beaten at all, don't look at the number of them, they were beaten by the brothers-" Li De usually doesn't talk much, a standard doer, and he is more ruthless than anyone else when he does it.

If you want to talk about the benefits of this incident, then it can be regarded as a complete release of the ferocity in the bones of the Chinese police.

Don't underestimate the power of example, Roque has beaten Indians and Boers before, and has made the best example for his brothers, and now, the Canadians that Roque fights are pure British, who else in this world can't fight?

I still remember when I first arrived in Cape Town, the Chinese police were inevitably restrained in the face of foreigners, even in the face of those Boers with underground status, because of the white skin of the Boers, the brothers did not dare to go too far.

Now all the Chinese police officers have no such concerns, the Boers are white, and they have to keep their voices down in the face of the Chinese police.

The British are also white, although the status of the British is higher than that of the Boers, but as long as the British offend the interests of the Chinese police, the Chinese police can now wave their fists without hesitation, which was unimaginable before.

"Inspector, you have done well enough, we Chinese were bullied in Johannesburg before, no one has ever dared to resist, even those Zulu people can bully us, I really can't imagine that when the British bullied us, you would actually ask for justice for us Chinese - I didn't say it, this cup is for you!" Buck was emotional and unaffected.

Chinese –

Human life is really worthless in this troubled era, not to mention the lives of the Chinese, the lives of those Zulus and Boers are not worth anything, and even the lives of those British soldiers are not worth much.

After the outbreak of the war, the casual disregard for human life happened every day, to be honest, even Buck didn't think it was a big deal to kill a Chinese policeman, Johannesburg had more people dying every day, miners, civilians, guerrillas, soldiers-

People die every day, and so many deaths have been experienced, and Buck has become numb to the world.

Roque's approach opened a new door for Buck, allowing Buck to fully realize that the Chinese-

It's not something that can be insulted at will!

"Buck, to make others respect you, you first have to respect yourself." Roque didn't want to say too much, the Chinese in Johannesburg were still far from Roque's request.

Take your time, Roque still has time.

"Inspector, there's a colonel named Marcos Lloyd out there who wants to see you, he's the head of the Royal Canadian Regiment." A commando came over and asked for instructions.

Roque nodded, and took the initiative to get up and greet him.

The colonel, although not a general, is also a high-ranking officer and cannot be taken lightly.

Although the relationship between the Johannesburg Police Department and the Royal Canadian Corps is tense now, the face that should be given is still to be given, and the Royal Canadian Corps does not know how long it will be stationed in Johannesburg, and it will definitely have to deal with each other in the future, and it can't be old and dead, so even if Roque is tired of it, the superficial work that should be done still has to be done.

Don't do it –

I'm sorry, the whole society will be hostile to you and isolate you.

In life, there will always be a lot of last resort.

"Hehe, Sheriff Locke, we're meeting againβ€”oh no, you're a Senior Inspector now, God, it's hard to believe, it's only been so long!" Marcos Lloyd and Roque are still acquaintances, and they greet each other warmly as soon as they meet.

When Roque saw the maple leaf logo on Marcos Lloyd's hat, he immediately remembered that he and Marcos Lloyd had drunk and bragged together.

It was still in the Kimberley, when Roque and his assault team had just killed Joubert, and Marcos Lloyd met outside the office of General Roberts, who was then Chief of the General Staff of the Expeditionary Force, and after General Roberts summoned Henry, Roque, Henry, and a group of officers went to the bar, and Marcos Lloyd was one of those officers.

"Marcos, I didn't expect to see you here, are you okay?" Roque barely managed to squeeze out a smile, in fact, last time, Marcos Lloyd and Roque made a good impression on each other.

"It's good, it's better if it weren't for this bullshit, I'm sorry to you, Locke, it's my kids who have gone too far, they haven't come out of the shadow of the war yet, so they get emotional on the mission." Marcos Lloyd took the initiative to apologize.

Emotional?

I'm afraid this is not something that can be explained by an emotional sentence.

But there is no need for Roque to hold on, this revenge cannot be avenged by Roque now, but in the future, the British government will definitely pay the price for today's contempt and arrogance towards the Chinese police.

"Marcos, it's not your responsibility, and I'm sure if you were there, you wouldn't let this happen." Roque is magnanimous, not magnanimous, and Roque has now recognized the essence of the British.

It is impossible for Roque to be held accountable to the end, and if the perpetrators are to be forcibly held accountable, not to mention Marcos Lloyd, Alfred Milner will have an opinion on Roque.

This is the sorrow of not having a strong motherland.

Qing cannot be said to be a small country and a widow, but the country is not strong, no matter how large the territory is, no matter how large the population is, no one takes you seriously, such as Russia in the 21st century, and India in the 21st century, it is useless to have a large land area and a large population, and it is useless to speak.

"Locke, you're a big-hearted man." Marcos Lloyd was very satisfied with Roque's attitude, he must have also felt the pressure from the Governor's Palace, so he took the initiative to come to Roque.

This in itself already represents an apology from the military.

Coming to the living room, Roque and Marcos Lloyd sat down separately, and Roque recommended green tea from the Qing Kingdom to Marcos Lloyd, and Marcos Lloyd was full of praise.

"Locke, the deceased is gone, no amount of apologies can soothe the grief of the deceased's family, I'm sorry, I can only try to make amends in this way." After a cup of tea, Marcos Lloyd handed Roque a check.

"Thank you, Marcos, I don't even know how to explain to Lynn's family that he didn't die on the battlefield, but at the hands of his own people." Roque didn't look at the amount on the check at all, as Marcos Lloyd said, no amount of money could soothe the grief of the deceased's family.

"His name is Lynn?" Marcos Lloyd's expression was also heavy.

"Yes, his family is in Cape Town, he just arrived in Oak a month ago, he has two sons and a daughter." Roque's heart was also heavy, and he really didn't know how to face Lynn's family.

Marcos Lloyd was silent for a while and made a decision: "I will adopt Lynn's children, pay for living expenses every month, and if they can go to college, I will also pay their college tuition until they reach adulthood, and if they want to, I can also take them to Canada, I promise you, Locke, I will treat them like my own children - as for those stunned officers and soldiers, they will be forcibly discharged and then sent back to Canada to serve their sentences, I can assure you, They have a minimum sentence of no less than five years β€” sorry Locke, I know the outcome wasn't fair to Lynn, but β€” we can't let the tragedy happen again. ”

In fact, it is already good, before that, there is no need to pay any price for a white man to kill a person of color, and there may or may not be compensation, and even if there is, it is only a dozen pounds.

Roque doesn't dwell on this issue, at least the situation has changed, and that's a good start.

"No, no, no, Marcos, thank you, but it really doesn't need to be like this, I'm the godfather of the children, and I'll bear all the costs of their upbringing, which shouldn't be borne by you." Roque immediately refused, and on this issue, Roque was obliged.

Regarding the "godfather", this concept has been played by the Chinese police.

There is no concept of "godfather" among the Chinese, but there is the concept of "godfather" among the Chinese, so Roque will raise Lynn's children as "godsons" until they grow up.

For the same reason, in fact, Lynn's children will have a lot of "godfathers", Anton, Li De, Martin-

As long as it is a Chinese policeman, they will do their best on this issue, so it is estimated that Lynn's children will be very "miserable" in the future, because there will be many godfathers who will pay attention to their every move, if they don't make it-

Then they will definitely feel a lot of "warmth" from "father's love".

"Okay Locke, hopefully we can continue to work better together." Marcos Lloyd didn't dwell on it, but when he turned around, Marcos Lloyd would send another check as compensation for Lynn's family.

This level of compensation –

It's really not enough!
