105 Cooking oil over a blazing fire

To solve the problem of prisoners of war in an open and honest manner, to complete the tasks assigned by Auguste Russell, and not to carry the blame and leave a handle for the Boers after the war, this is the whole of Roque's plan.

The key to the perfect implementation of the plan lies in the British soldiers stationed at Fort Simmons, and Roque finds Major Bill Bradley, whom he met at the Oak Bar, and Major Bill Bradley is interested in Roque's plan, after all, it is an opportunity for the "cowards" to prove themselves.

Best of both worlds.

Both Roque and Bill Bradley were happy with the result.

"- Yes, that's it, the Boer prisoners of war riot in the camp, they attacked the police patrolling at night, snatched their weapons, and killed two patrol officers in the line of duty - thanks to the timely arrival of Major Bill Bradley of the 3rd Regiment in Weltshire, they stopped the prisoner of war riot, 127 prisoners of war were killed in the course of the riot, 11 are missing, and Major Bill Bradley is intensifying the pursuit." Roque didn't take credit and gave all the credit to Bill Bradley.

This is exactly what Bill Bradley wants, not everyone has such an opportunity, and the unarmed prisoners of war are like toothless tigers compared to the cunning and cruel guerrillas.

Oh, and by the way, the two Webley revolvers that were snatched were without bullets.

"Well done! Superintend. August Russell looked at Roque with admiration, and compared to the Indian-American police officers who were eating vegetarian meals, Roque was so good.

"I'm sorry Director, I let you down, it shouldn't have happened-" Roque was still blaming himself, and apologized.

"Hehehehe-" August Russell got up from his chair, up to a height of one meter seven: "Locke, you don't need to apologize, it's not your problem, go back and work hard, I'm thinking about a reward for you." ”

This promise has no effect, what to consider, what to think about, what to think about, what is about the same, and the indefinite period is the same meaning.

"Yes, Director, I will definitely work hard!" Although he knew that most of the rewards were not rewarded, Roque still expressed his gratitude.

Leaving the police station, Roque had his usual get-together with Henry.

"Well done, Locke, I knew you could do it." Henry's words are exactly the same as those of August Russell, but the tone of the two is very different.

"Trembling, walking on thin ice." Roque is really not proud, the flowers are full of fire, and if this kind of thing is not handled well, it will cause endless trouble.

"Come on, be happy, the director is considering appointing you as a senior inspector, which you deserve, and at the same time, the director is communicating with the Hua Yong battalion to hire more Hua Yong to be a police officer in Cape Town, you may not know it yet, after a while, when the annexation of the Transvaal and Orange is completed, the police system in these two places will begin to be rebuilt, so prepare Locke." Henry provides a lot of information and a lot of information, and it takes a little time for Roque to absorb it.

Of course, it would be good if he could be appointed as a senior inspector, now there is only one superintendent of Henry in the Cape Town Police Department, and the next senior inspector is also only Austin Pence, if Roque is appointed as a senior inspector, it means that Roque will become the fourth in command of the Cape Town Police Department, which is of great significance.

In June, the Boer War came to an end, and the Eight-Nation Coalition was formed, and around June 6, the plans of the Eight-Nation Coalition were approved by governments and war was about to break out.

If it weren't for Roque's arrival in Cape Town, then perhaps Roque would have participated in this war as well.

Now that things have taken a turn for the better, if the Cape side needs to hire more Hua Yong as a police officer, then maybe the Hua Yong battalion will not participate in the war, and there will be no need to leave a stain on history.

There is also the police system in the Transvaal and Orange, and the annexation of these two areas by the Cape Colony will definitely have to be rebuilt in these two areas, which also means that there will be a large number of vacancies, and Roque has every reason to expect a higher position based on his performance during this time.

It is estimated that the number one leader, that is, the district police chief, is impossible, but the deputy chief can indeed be expected, especially if it is under the premise that Henry is appointed as the chief of police.

"If you have the chance, take the path of the Governor's Palace." Roque reminded Henry that Alfred Milner, the current governor, would soon become the governor and governor of the Transvaal and Orange, and that it was a good opportunity to get in touch with Alfred Milner.

"How do you think I know this, I have just attended a celebratory dinner for the assault on Cítoria, and after the dinner His Excellency the Governor came to me and asked me what I thought of the Boers." Henry was triumphant, this was the advantage of being British, and no matter how good Roque was, he didn't have such a chance.

"How did you answer?" Roque was a little nervous, and if Henry didn't do well, he would be beaten by Alfred Milner.

How else can you answer that? We've talked many times that the Boers don't deserve to be trusted, but to control the Transvaal and Orange, you have to rely on the Boers, and at the same time the Zulus, and we have to create a conflict between the Boers and the Zulus, so that we can mediate in the middle, and a divided Cape is more in the interests of the British Empire. "Henry doesn't leak a drop of water, and the British are really good at mixing sand.

"Okay, not bad." Roque was relieved, and the most noisy talk now was that he was going to kill all the Boers.

This argument is nonsense, not to mention whether you can kill all the Boers, and if you kill all the Boers, who will dig for gold?

Counting on the pampered British?

Don't be funny, it's okay for the British to eat, drink and have fun, just work.

Moreover, it is not only the Transvaal and Orange that there are Boers, but there are also hundreds of thousands of Boers in the Cape, and it is impossible to kill all this part of the Boers.

Therefore, the most realistic way is to "raze the razor", after all, for the British, the gold of the Rand gold mine is the most tempting, for the gold, the British should not mind giving the Boers certain benefits, in fact, soon after the end of the Boer War, the British gave the Cape autonomous status, as long as the Cape honestly sent the gold to London, the British did not care who controlled the Cape.

It can't be said that it doesn't care, whether it's Boers or British, they are at least white, not colored, so Roque still has a lot of work to do.
