After the appointment is clear, Roque and Henry will go to Pretoria in advance, after all, the current law and order situation in Pretoria is too poor, and the police department must at least ensure that the law and order situation in Pretoria is within a controllable range, so that Governor Alfred Milner can get by.

Roque also finally saw the real armored train, not the kind of iron box without a cover, but a steel monster that is fully enclosed and fully packaged, and there are machine gun holes everywhere, such an armored train, one section in the front and back of the train, the Cape Town Police Department has done experiments, even if explosives are used to blast, the armored train cannot be overturned, which ensures the safety of the train to the greatest extent.

"Let's get some sleep, 1,300 kilometers, and it will take dozens of hours on the road." Henry didn't say this to Roque, but to Phyllis, in Cape, Henry was Phyllis's only relative, so Henry was going to Pretoria, and he definitely couldn't leave Phyllis still in Cape Town.

In fact, Roque didn't go to Pretoria alone, this time he went to Pretoria, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, Roque originally wanted to leave Zack's family in Cape Town, but Zach insisted on going to Pretoria with Roque, Anna didn't know what the considerations were, so she asked Bella to follow Roque too, and Christian, after Roque received the order, Christie Anning was willing to leave behind the already large-scale construction team, and also went to Pretoria with Roque to try his luck.

Zach and the others left earlier than Roque, and Roque arranged for them to go to Pretoria early to make a pre-stop, and they should have arrived by now.

"Don't want to sleep!" Phyllis was in good spirits, looking at the flashing scenery outside the window, she was not sleepy at all, Henry had sent a telegram to tell her father that Phyllis was in Cape, and Henry's father had nothing to do with his beloved daughter, so Phyllis was in a good mood now, and even her attitude towards the big man was much better.

The big guy is the mastiff that Zach bought to watch the house, and when Roque is not at home, the big guy becomes Phyllis's pet, and the dog thing is the dog thing, and the speed of the rebellion is very fast, and the big guy is now lying at Phyllis's feet, letting Phyllis's feet step on his stomach, and Roque doesn't have this treatment.

The South African mastiff is actually still very fierce.

"Enjoy the last peace, when we get to Pretoria, I guess we'll be busy." Roque has a clear understanding of Pretoria, don't look at the current expeditionary force has captured Pretoria, but the security situation in Pretoria is certainly not optimistic, the Boers there are different from the Boers in Cape Town, and the attitude towards the Cape colonial government is extremely hateful, and now Pretoria is still under military control, and I heard that soldiers may be attacked when they are on patrol.

"Then it will be up to you, I have received all the authority of the Governor, you can do whatever you want, you must restore peace in Pretoria in a short time." Henry is not worried, there is a clear division of labor between him and Roque, although Henry is the chief of police, but Roque is in charge of the specific work.

"I've heard there's a lot of gold in Pretoria—" Phyllis's eyes lit up, and she was also a money junkie.

"Meaningless, I'll get a gold mine for you to play with when the time comes." There are dozens of gold mines in the Rand mining area, and those big gold mines dare not say that it is not difficult to get a small gold mine.

Henry shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at his expression as if he was not optimistic, Roque was about to speak, when a young voice suddenly came from the side.

"A gold mine to play? What a big breath! ”

Roque turned around, and a young white man was looking at Henry with hateful eyes, and when he saw Phyllis, the surprise in the young man's eyes flashed, and his gaze immediately returned to Henry.

Tsk, this is definitely an Englishman, a conservative and traditional Englishman, and he is not even interested in looking at Roque.

"Kevin, don't find fault, be careful that I hit you in the face again." Henry was unceremonious, it sounded like there had been a conflict between them before.

"You coward, wait, I'll make you look good sooner or later." Kevin dropped a sentence viciously, slipping away before Henry could burst out.

Tsk, this kind of behavior is the behavior of cowards.

"Who is this?" Both Roque and Phyllis had question marks written all over their faces.

"Kevin Trevecon, his father was the director of the Cape Mines Bureau, Swift." Henry did not have the slightest anger after being provoked, and the expression on his face was triumphant.

Swift!

Roque had an impression of the name, as if this Kevin was Lacey's former fiancé-

That's it, no wonder Kevin crossed his nose and eyes when he saw Henry.

"It's okay, it's okay." Roque hadn't realized why Kevin was on the train.

The first government agencies set up in Pretoria were not only the police department, but also the mining department, after all, the cause of the second Boer War was the Rand gold mine.

"Good what? Also on the train is Swift, who is now the director of mines in the Transvaal and Orange areas. Henry was not angry, no wonder he smiled bitterly just now.

It's-

It's really unlucky, originally Roque thought that a police chief, a senior inspector, would be able to get a gold mine or something.

Now it seems that getting a gold mine may be easy for other police chiefs, but it is difficult for Roque and Henry, Henry broke Kevin and Lacey's engagement, Swift will never let Roque and Henry do whatever they want, Alfred Milner is also a talent, and this hand of personnel checks and balances is played beautifully.

For a city dominated by mineral resources, the mining bureau and the police system are two complementary parts, if the mining bureau and the police system are in cahoots, then the governor's palace may even be hollowed out, and at worst, it will also affect the government's financial revenue.

There is no need to worry about this now, Roque does not believe that Alfred Milner does not know the story between Henry and Swift, then this is the situation that Alfred Milner deliberately created, the Mines Bureau and the police system are against each other and hostile to each other, so that the Governor's Mansion can get the most benefit.

"Heh, it's okay, the director of mines, you can't cover the sky with one hand." Roque is not worried about this situation, maybe for Henry, he is helpless in the face of this situation, but for Roque, it is only a small meaning.

When Roque just woke up, he was helpless and had no ability to resist in the face of life, and now Roque is a senior inspector and has the ability to protect himself in this troubled world, compared to that time, the difficulties now are all drizzle.
