The two military observers were not there to investigate the camp, they were only interested in Roque himself.

"The other day in Cape Town, we had an exchange with Superintendent Henry at a dinner hosted by His Excellency the Governor, and according to Superintendent Henry, you have a good deal with the guerrillas, can you talk to us?" The military observer named Hugo was enthusiastic.

Guerilla?

Roque does not remember that the French had a need for this.

"Just because there's no demand doesn't mean you don't need to know, you know, France also has a huge colony." Hugo's curiosity is quite strong, but Roque feels that Hugo's purpose should not be so simple.

"It's actually very simple to deal with the guerrillas, the way the expeditionary force command is doing it right now, cutting off the connection between the guerrillas and the ordinary Boers, punishing those Boers who support the guerrillas, so that sooner or later the guerrillas will lose their supplies and will not be able to sustain themselves-" Roque will not tell the truth, and use the methods of the expeditionary force command to deal with it, this is political correctness, and no one can find fault with it.

Hugo's expression was disappointed, and he shook his head slightly when he looked at another military observer named Raphael, probably sighing, Locke's name did not live up to his name.

"Locke, how much do you know about Madagascar?" Raphael finally spoke.

Madagascar, the first island in Africa and the fourth largest in the world, covers an area of 590,000 square kilometers and is a French colony.

But the French colonization of Madagascar was not successful, from the eighties of the last century, the French colonizers tried to annex Madagascar many times, but were resisted by the Malagasy people, France recognized the independence of Madagascar many times, and repeatedly tore up the agreement, trying to annex Madagascar by force, until four years ago, Madagascar became a French colony, but the Malagasy people are still resisting.

"Sorry, I don't know much about Madagascar." Roque doesn't want to wade into this troubled waters, Madagascar is now a French colony, but Britain has not given up its ambition for Madagascar, Roque is now playing for the British, so Roque should try to avoid contact with the French.

"During my time in Cape Town, I noticed that the Cape Town Police Department's decision to hire Chinese as police officers was very wise, Locke, you know? France is also an open and free country, and we welcome all those who aspire to democracy and freedom. Raphael was straightforward, and sure enough, he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Raphael, I'm a Cape now." Roque knows that France is an open and free country, otherwise France would not have been called "Fransstan" in his previous life, but France is too open, too free, and has no bottom line, which makes Roque very worried, although France now also has a huge colony, but Roque does not see much hope for France.

What's more, if there is no choice, hugging the French thigh is also a good choice, but now it is obvious that Roque has a better choice, let the British thigh not hug, to hug the French, I am afraid that the head case will not be kicked by the donkey.

"Locke, you should know that England is an ultra-conservative and xenophobic country—" Hugo said without hesitation.

"Hugo, shut up!" Raphael hurriedly stopped.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" It has already been heard, there are a lot of casual GIs in the bar, and some GIs have already heard Hugo's words just now.

"Sorry, he's drunk." Raphael understated it, hoping to fool the past.

"I don't think he's drunk, second lieutenant, I hope you know what you're talking about!" The GI was very polite, and did not show mercy to Hugo just because Hugo was an officer.

"Andrey, he didn't mean to." Roque came forward to play a round, and coincidentally, Andre was the lancer who was put down by Roque.

"Locke, don't forget that you're also British." Andre gave Roque face, dropped a harsh word, and went to his companion with several beers.

Well, there are still too few waiters in the bar.

"I'm sorry—" Raphael understood that nothing could be done, apologized very insincerely, and left with Hugo.

Roque realized that the damned Frenchman, maybe Hugo's blurted out words just now was deliberate, and if this matter spread, it would definitely affect the trust of the British in Roque.

Word has been spread, and there are so many GIs in the bar, Roque believes that someone will report everything that happened here to the Cape colonial government.

With a headache, Roque decided to go back to the bureau the next day.

"What do they mean?" With a gloomy expression on Auguste Russell's face, his elbows propped up on the table, and his hands crossed in front of his nose, Roque could only see Auguste Russell's dangerous eyes.

"I don't know, maybe they want to hire Chinese police officers to work in Madagascar, or maybe they want to hire me, who knows." Roque was calm that no matter what Raphael and Hugo's purpose was, Roque had a clear conscience.

"What do you think?" August Russell gave more importance to Roque's ideas.

"I don't think much of it, I've become a Cape naturaliser, I've bought a small vineyard in Oak Town, and I still have a house in Mill Street, and I don't want to go to Madagascar and come back." Roque is really not polite, compared to the Cape, Madagascar is the countryside, and Roque is now tired of seeing the pristine landscape.

"Well done Locke, you've made the right choice, the second group of Chinese police officers is about to arrive in Cape Town, this group of 500 people, get ready-" August Russell nodded to Roque and picked up a document in hand.

Leaving Auguste Russell's office, Roque was in a good mood, but 500 Chinese police officers seemed to be a bit much, Cape Town didn't need so much, after all, the contract between the Cape Town Police Department and those Indian police officers had not expired, so it seemed -

Roque turned around and went to find Henry.

"How about hiring this group of policemen, not for Cape Town, but for Bloemfontein and Pretoria, do you have any ideas?" Henry sat at his desk, his coffee cup and looked at Roque with interest.

Bloemfontein and Pretoria!

Yes, the Expeditionary Force Command has occupied the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State, and the next step is to annex these two regions, Henry has told Roque before that these two areas will also have a police system, and there will be a large number of vacancies, and Roque is certainly interested.

"Where are you going?" Roque still has to keep up with Henry's pace, even if he is separated from Henry, Roque cannot be the district police chief, and it is better to mix with Henry.

It was clear that Henry was pleased with Roque's choice, and with a sip of coffee, Henry looked far north: "Pretoria." ”

Well, the choice was the right one, the Rand gold mine is right in Pretoria.
