When he saw the situation on the scene, Roque's mood can be imagined.

To be honest, Roque doesn't care about the lives of the Boers, he doesn't care about the lives of the Zulus, and even Roque doesn't care about the lives of the Chinese miners who cultivate on the farms, but the Chinese police-

That's Roque's brother!

Roque will never forget the brothers who took the initiative to stand up and surround Roque when he first woke up to teach Kunale a lesson.

Roque will never forget the brothers who offered to help Roque raise money when he didn't have enough money to buy a house in Cape Town.

Roque will also never forget the brothers who followed Roque to Cape Town after knowing that Roque became a Cape Town.

All of this stems from the brothers' trust in Roque.

When Roque lectured Kunale, there were hundreds of Indian-American police officers in the Cape Town Police Department, and there were only about 30 Chinese-American policemen, and every Chinese-American policeman who stood up for Roque actually took the risk of retaliation by Indian-American police.

But they did not hesitate.

When Roque wanted to buy a house, all the Chinese police officers did not have a lot of money, they wanted to save money to support their families, they wanted to save money to start a family, and they wanted to save money to return to their hometown, but when Roque needed money, they still did not hesitate to lend Roque the three or five pounds that they had worked so hard to save.

As for the naturalization of Cape Town, it was a great risk, there were only more than 30 Chinese in Cape Town at that time, but after Roque became naturalized, they still resolutely walked into the immigration office, and then cut off their braids and changed into suits, which was almost equivalent to their lives.

Now, Roque is coming to Johannesburg, and these same brothers have abandoned the better and better situation in Cape Town, leaving their families who have settled in Oak Town, and following Roque all the way to Johannesburg, which is also due to their trust in Roque.

Roque will not fail to live up to those trusts.

So despite the warnings from the gun-wielding soldiers next to him, Roque strode forward.

"Stop, this is the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment, we are carrying out military operations, any trespassing, you will be killed on the spot." The soldier had already raised his gun and aimed it at Roque.

"Put down your gun!"

"Bastard, we're the police!"

“——”

The policemen who followed Roque immediately cursed, and more people drew their guns and faced each other, and the scene was about to erupt.

"I'm Johannesburg Police Chief Locke, and this is the precinct of our police department, and now I'm going to inform your chief, all the people on this farm are under the protection of the Johannesburg Police Department - now, I'm going to see my men, and don't do anything beyond your means, which will lead to consequences that you can't bear." Roque held back his anger, and anyone could hear the cruelty hidden under Roque's calm appearance.

"I—we're Royal Canada—" the soldier was still holding on.

"I know you're the Royal Canadian Rifles, and I know you're on a mission, but look what you've done? Are you treating the police as guerrillas? Didn't these policemen identify themselves to you? Don't you have those damn eyes and don't see their police uniforms? Roque erupted instantly, and the sprayed soldiers retreated one after another.

"What the hell are you doing?" Finally an officer appeared, this time a captain.

"Damn it, look what the hell you've done!" Roque squirted back with a louder voice.

"We're on a mission!" The captain was imposing.

"We're on a mission too!" Roque was more imposing, but he was not in the mood to entangle with the captain: "Now, I need to check the situation of my men-"

It's been arguing here for a long time, and the few policemen on the ground are still motionless, and Roque really doesn't have time to entangle, he just hopes that the situation is not too bad.

The captain seemed to have just noticed the motionless policeman on the ground, and he felt a little dumbfounded.

In fact, while Roque and the captain were confronting each other, Martin had already walked around the captain to check on the policemen.

Martin is good at some first aid, which is also a necessary skill for people in the yamen.

The situation did not seem to be good, there were four police officers in total, three of them responded to Martin's calls, and one of them had blood stains on the corners of his mouth and under his nose, and did not respond to Martin's first aid in the slightest.

Roque remembers the policeman who was no longer breathing, his name was Lynn, and his family had just arrived in Oak two months ago.

"Inspector!" Martin's voice was filled with grief and indignation.

"!" Roque kicked the captain into the air with a heavy kick.

"him!"

"Up!"

“F***！”

The scene was immediately turned on their backs.

——

Not surprisingly, Roque traveled to Pretoria again.

"What is it for this time?" Alfred Milner is a little helpless, people who are capable are like this, they can do things, but they can also cause trouble.

"Before the police station was built, I temporarily housed the miners on a farm and sent police to guard them - because the farm was not more than ten miles away from the gold mine that was attacked, the soldiers of the Canadian Regiment were going to put all the miners in a concentration camp, and the police in charge of guarding them were beaten by the soldiers of the Canadian Regiment just for blocking the soldiers of the Canadian Regiment, three policemen were seriously injured, and one policeman was beaten to death by them-" Roque was secretly changing ideas, but there were tears in his eyes, and Roque couldn't imagine it anyway, The brothers actually died at the hands of their own people.

Yes, according to the position of the Cape colonial government, whether it is the police or the regular army, in fact, they are their own people.

In the previous battles against the guerrillas and the Boer coalition forces, the police also suffered casualties, and some time ago in the clash with the Welch flintlock musketeers, there were also police officers who were injured, and Roque could accept those situations, and now that the war is over, the police were actually killed alive by the regular army, which made Roque unable to swallow this breath anyway.

"Beaten to death?" Alfred Milner was surprised.

"Yes, he was beaten to death by the soldiers of the Canadian Rifle Regiment, it was a policeman who should have been honored after the war, he had participated in the battles on the Eastern Front, he had encircled the Boer guerrillas, he had captured the positions of the Boers, he had also participated in the battle to kill Jobbel, he should have been awarded a medal after the war, and he was not beaten to death in such a humiliating way, and moreover, he was still beaten to death by his own people—" Roque had to control his emotions and not be presumptuous in front of the governor.

Alfred Milner didn't speak, and immediately picked up the phone and gave it to Kitchener.

"Your Excellency, your men are so presumptuous, they actually killed a policeman who fought bloodily for the British Empire, I need a reasonable explanation, and demand that you must punish those soldiers who do mischief, they should use this ferocity against the Boer guerrillas, not against the police—" Alfred Milner also had a temper, and he was a wild spray at Kitchina.

"I'm sorry Alfred, I just found out about this, I've already ordered someone to investigate, and if someone commits a crime, I will definitely give you an explanation." It is estimated that Kitchener is also anxious now, it is normal to fight, and it is serious to kill someone, Kitchener may not care about the life or death of a policeman, but since Alfred Milner asked, Kitchener has to give Alfred Milner an explanation.

"Inspector Locke, you go back first, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Alfred Milner couldn't help it, in principle, the Transvaal was still under military control, so the Governor's Office had no jurisdiction over the army.

"Governor—" Roque tried to argue with his arguments.

"Inspector, go back first—" Alfred Milner's expression was serious, and his gaze at Roque was a little complicated.

Walking out of the Palace of Justice, Roque couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

Yes, this was the status of the Chinese in this era, and Roark once thought that the Chinese could be recognized by the British by virtue of their hard work.

But in fact, Roque now has to admit that fantasy can only be fantasy after all, and the British will not recognize the Chinese, don't look at Alfred Milner's good words, but in the end, this matter is mostly over.

The so-called "military control" refers to a state of emergency in which armed forces are used to assist the government in maintaining order under special circumstances.

During the military period, the functions of the government were greatly weakened, and even the courts had to be replaced by military courts, so even if the soldiers of the Canadian Rifle Regiment were guilty, it was the military tribunals in charge of the trial, and the officers in charge of the trial had the final say on whether they were guilty or not.

The military tribunal must defend the military, so in the end, those soldiers of the Canadian regiment may be punished, but the punishment will definitely not be too severe, and what Lynn and Roque can do now is to fight for more financial compensation for Lynn as much as possible.

Note that it is compensation, not compensation, compensation is out of humanitarianism, and compensation means that the party who paid the money admits its wrongdoing, which are two different things.

Henry came with Roque, and seeing that Roque was depressed, Henry patted Roque on the shoulder and hugged him hard.

"Thanks, I'm fine." Roque barely managed to squeeze out a smile, the dead are gone, and life has to go on.

"I'm sorry, we're soft-talked—" Henry's heart was not good, Roque's men, who were also Henry's men, were humiliated in this conflict by all the police in the entire Transvaal, and Henry bore the brunt.

"So Henry, you have to climb up quickly—if the Governor were you, this would not have happened." Roque pinned his hopes on Henry, and today's incident reminded Roque not to be satisfied with the status quo and to be aggressive.

"I want to climb up too—but I can't." Henry lamented that he and Roque had climbed fast enough.

But it's not enough, you have to climb faster.

"There's good news, my father is coming to Cape." Henry's mood quickly recovered.

Also, after all, Henry didn't have the pain of Roque's skin.

"Coming to Cape for a job?" This is indeed good news.

Henry's father was a knight, although he was only a baron, but the baron was also a nobleman.

Roque knew that Henry's father had previously served in the Colonial Affairs Department in the British mainland, and it seemed that his rank was not low, so when he came to Cape Town, according to the convention, Henry's father was to be promoted and appointed.

"No, come to the Transvaal." Henry corrected.

Yes, now it's the Transvaal, and it's not the same thing as the Cape.
