101 Lao Tzu

When Emily Hobhouse and her party arrive in Oaktown, Roque will arrange for police officers to accompany them wherever they do, nominally for protection, but in fact for surveillance.

As a clergyman, Emily Hobhouse was so out of the ordinary, she spent the night talking with the families of the Boer Coalition, asking the surrendered Boer Coalition members what they thought of the refugee camp, and even going to the Oak Bar to experience life.

If it weren't for Henry's warning, Roque would have sent Emily Hobhouse and her party away, a woman who was like an ignorant little girl who had no idea what kind of trouble her actions would bring to Roque's work.

When Roque said that he wanted to kick Emily Hobhouse and her party out of Oak Town, Emily Hobhouse finally realized the seriousness of the matter, but Emily Hobhouse did not intend to give in, in Emily Hobhouse's opinion, what she was doing was more important than Roque's work.

"Inspector Roque, if you really do that, then I will definitely complain to the Governor's Mansion about you." Emily Hobhouse still didn't take Roque's threat seriously.

"Whatever you want, don't look like a little girl who doesn't know how to do things, you should know what you're doing." Roque is very angry, complain, complain, who is afraid of who.

In fact, Roque didn't know that Emily Hobhouse was really unpopular, and until the age of 35, Emily Hobhouse had spent time in her father's Anglican priest's parish, and she really didn't know what the normal colonial order should look like.

Unfortunately, Roque did not have time to wait for Emily Hobhouse to grow up, and that night, Emily Hobhouse and his party were sent back to Cape Town by Roque.

After returning to Cape Town, Roark first went to Mill Street to find Henry.

"You sent Emily Hobhouse back?" Henry was a little big, and his previous reminder to Roque was in vain.

"What else can I do? Spend time with her in Oak Town? "Roque is bitter and mean, and it is unlucky to meet such a virgin.

"You-you-" Henry's fingers trembled as he pointed at Roque, you have been for a long time, and you have not come out one, two, three.

"Emily Hobhouse is not a problem, you have to be careful of the two German priests who are with Emily Hobhouse." Roque is not worried about Emily Hobhouse, no matter how ignorant Emily Hobhouse is, he is also British, and he should not do anything outside of eating, but the two German priests are more worthy of vigilance.

While in Oaktown, Roark noticed that the two German priests, Emily Hobhouse, had also been in contact with the surrendered Boer Coalition members, but Emily Hobhouse had also been in contact with the women and children, so she knew all about the camp.

The two German priests were not the same, they were only of particular interest to the Boer members who surrendered, and although the policeman who was in charge of monitoring the two German priests was Boer, one of the Boer members who surrendered knew German, so the German priest and the Boer members were communicating in German.

Upon learning of this fact, Roque restrained the two German priests, but their actions had already had a very bad effect, and according to the police officers in charge of guarding the Boer forces, the mood of the Boer members began to be unstable after the two German priests came into contact with the Boer members who had surrendered.

"German priest?" Henry's expression was surprised, it seemed that Henry was unaware of the existence of the German priest.

"Yes, two German priests, one named Hans and the other seems to be called Mark, and you know by name that they are German." Roque did not have a good impression of Germany, and the current Kaiser was Wilhelm II, the author of the "Yellow Peril Theory".

Wilhelm II also had a lot to do with the Boer War, when Cecil Rhodes, the former prime minister of the Cape Colony, sent Dr. Jensen, a senior officer of the South African Mining Company, to lead 500 mercenaries of the South African Company and a few machine guns in an attempt to overthrow the regime of Paul Kryuger in the Transvaal.

The result was tragic, 134 mercenaries were killed, and the rest, including Dr. Jensen, were taken prisoner.

After this incident broke out, Wilhelm II sent a telegram to Paul Kryugel congratulating him on his victory, and England expressed great anger at Wilhelm II's actions.

In short, this guy is a madman, and there are birth records about him in court documents indicating that Wilhelm II may have suffered from a serious illness that caused brain problems, which translated into Chinese is probably brain dead.

"Bastard!" Henry was rude, and he didn't know whether to scold Emily Hobhouse or the two German priests.

At noon that day, Henry and Roque went to meet Auguste Russell, and when he learned what Emily Hobhouse and his party had done in Oaktown, Auguste Russell also felt that his head was big.

"Locke, no matter what, you have to ensure the stability of the refugee camp, when necessary—" August Russell did not say what Roque should do if necessary.

But Roque already understood what August Russell meant, and this was - the rhythm of letting Roque carry the black cauldron.

Referring to the attitude of the previous Expeditionary Force Command towards the Boer Coalition prisoners, it is clear that the so-called "leniency policy" towards the Boer Coalition Army is nothing more than an expedient measure of the Expeditionary Force Command, and the British government paid a total of 220 million pounds before and after the Second Boer War, so the British will definitely not let the Boers go easily, if it can, I believe that the British government is very willing to see the Boers disappear, which is what the Expeditionary Force Command has always wanted to do.

In this way, those members of the Boer coalition who surrendered became a big problem, it was impossible to shoot them directly as before, and now there are many military observers from various countries in the Cape, and the shooting of prisoners of war will cause the reputation of the British Empire to be damaged, and August Russell wants Roque to find a way that does not affect the reputation of the British Empire, and justifiably kill those Boer coalition members who surrendered.

Of course, if Roque's way is not so "justifiable", then the black cauldron of "massacring prisoners of war" will have to be borne by Roque.

Tragically, Roque could not refuse such an order, although there was also no official document, but this was the price of hugging the thigh of the British.

Are all British philanthropists?!

Henry also understood what August Russell meant, so Henry's gaze at Roque was full of pity and forbearance—or, a hint of anticipation.

"Yes, Director, I see." Luo Ke resolutely carried this "black cauldron", the risks are proportional to the benefits, and the son once said: Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings depend.

It's Lao Tzu.
