Mr. 124

If Henry's approach is followed, then it will probably not be long before all the Boers in the whole of Pretoria will be thrown into concentration camps, after all, the current Pretoria is not that big.

But this kind of retaliation is also necessary, otherwise there will be endless attacks on police or soldiers, and as for those innocently implicated, they are all victims of the times, including Roque, and other policemen.

Before Roque and his arrival in Pretoria, the Australian cavalry unit in charge of pretoria had converted the Pretoria prison of the Transvaal Republic into a concentration camp for the families of the Boer Coalition, and as for the captured Boer Coalition members, most of them were shot, and the rest were exiled to India, Ceylon and Bermuda, with no hope of returning to Cape in their lifetime.

The Provisional Government took over Pretoria and would also take over the management of the concentration camps, and this time it would not be Roque's turn to manage the camps, and the commandos had important tasks.

"I think we should complete the registration of all the residents of Pretoria in the shortest possible time, with a focus on counting the adult men, and all the men who are about to reach adulthood, who could be our potential enemies, and the key is that these people still have guns in their hands and they have the ability to carry out the attack." Roque fears that the law and order situation in Pretoria will continue to deteriorate, as the Transvaal Republic's former military presence and legal possession of weapons by all is a huge threat to the work of the police.

"The registration of residents is the business of the Provisional Government, we do not have this right, and now our task is to maintain law and order, by all means." Henry couldn't help it, a few hundred policemen were too few for the size of Pretoria.

The provisional government has just been put on the table, and the affairs are complicated and complicated, and the government agencies have not even decided on the location of their offices, and there is no time for them to perform their functions.

These days, Christian has been busy looking for a suitable office for the bigwigs, repairing the Palace of Justice to prepare for Alfred Milner, and repairing the rich area around Church Square, but Christian simply does not have so many people at his disposal, so he has to send Padbeck to Zululand to hire more Zululu.

Compared to the Boers, who claim to be "aborigines", the Zulus are the natives of the Cape, and because of the successive invasions of the Boers and the British, the territory of the Zulus has become smaller and smaller, and their leader is called Dinizulu.

Speaking of Ding Zulu, this person is the real left and right, in 1884, the king of the Zulu kingdom Sechivayo died, nearly 15 years old Ding Zulu ascended the throne, the then Zulu Kingdom was worried about foreign troubles, Ding Zulu hired Boer mercenaries to stabilize the domestic situation, the leader of those Boer mercenaries is the current commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition army, Louis Botha.

After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, both the Boers and the Cape colonial government sent people to Zululand to contact Ding Zulu, hoping that Ding Zulu would join their side.

Dingzulu's initial attitude was to remain neutral, but after the war began, the British army suffered a defeat on the frontal battlefield, and Dingzulu showed a keen strategic vision at this time, and began to fully surrender to the Cape colonial government, not only allowing the expeditionary force to build warehouses in Zululand to store military supplies, but also personally leading troops to serve the expeditionary force.

As a result, Dingzulu also had a modern army armed with rifles and advanced armaments.

The Zulus that Christian hired in Oak were from Zululand.

To be honest, Roque doesn't like the Zulus, not at all, in the twenty-first century Roque has seen a lot of negative news about blacks, but in this era, Roque has no choice, Pretoria is in urgent need of rebuilding, but the Boer men of Pretoria are either shot or exiled, and there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the whole of Pretoria, and they can't complete the reconstruction work at all, and only Zululand can provide enough labor, and the key is that those Zululands are cheap and hardly need any pay, In this regard, even the Chinese do not have much advantage over the Zulus.

No way, compared with the blacks of the twenty-first century, the Zulus of this era are too easy to use, they eat less, work more, do not have any requirements for the working environment, only need a little food every day, they can work hard all day, and they don't even need to overseer it, Roque has seen it when he was in Oak Town, those Zulu people are simply submissive, even Roque has to admit that Oak Town can have the change now, those Zulu people are definitely indispensable, their work, It is by no means represented by a meager remuneration.

Of course, at this time, you can see that Roque's belly is black, although the Zulus have contributed to Oak Town, but Roque will definitely not show it, so after the transformation of Oak Town is completed, Roque will ask Christian to take all the Zulus away, and then only the Chinese and Boers will be left in Oak Town.

At most, Roque could get Christian to pay the Boers more.

"I have warned my men not to leave the avenue and enter the middle of nowhere, under any circumstances, and in recent times we have ensured the security of the area around the church square, and then gradually to other areas, and besides, I need more men." Joe Russell is also reflecting on the fact that in extraordinary times, the way patrol officers work should also be appropriately changed.

"Everyone wants more men, but right now we don't have enough." Henry can't help it, compared to other government agencies, the police department is not bad, there are more or less hundreds of people, and the shortage of people in government offices is even more serious.

Fortunately, there is also Christian, there is a rail link between Pretoria and Zululand, and in mid-August, the first train from Zululand brought more than a thousand Zulus, all of whom were employees of Christian.

The train station is a key area for public security work, and Roque looked at a large area of black on the platform, and he was really a little dizzy.

This Nima, when will Chinese immigrants be so convenient.

"Hello Mr. Christian, I am Mr. Mars Yates's special assistant, and now I am with your men, there is a particularly urgent task that you need to complete as quickly as possible." On the platform, a well-dressed young man called Christian away.

When will Christian be called "sir"?

And he was called "sir" by Mars Yates' special assistant, Mars Yates was the new mayor of Pretoria, and Roque was not qualified to be called "sir" in front of his special assistant.
