101 Lao Tzu

After Emily Hobhouse and his party arrived in Oak Town, no matter what they did, Rock would arrange for police officers to accompany them, nominally for protection, but actually for surveillance.

As a clergyman, Emily Hobhouse's performance was really outrageous. She talked with the families of the Boer Allied Forces all night long, asked the surrendered Boer Allied Forces members what they thought of the refugee camps, and even went to the Oak Bar to experience it.

Life, is this what a clergy should do?

If it weren't for Henry's warning, Rock would have sent Emily Hobhouse and his party away long ago. This woman was like an ignorant little girl, completely unaware that her behavior would bring consequences to Rock's work.

What kind of trouble.

When Rock expressed his intention to drive Emily Hobhouse and his 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 view, what she is doing is more important than Rock's work.

"Inspector Roark, if you really do that, then I will definitely complain to the Government House." Emily Hobhouse still did not take Roark's threat seriously.

"Whatever you want, don't be like a little girl who doesn't know what to do. You should know what you are doing." Roque was very angry. If you complain, just complain. Who is afraid of who?

In fact, Rock didn't know that Emily Hobhouse really had no secular life. Before the age of 35, Emily Hobhouse had been spending time in her father's Anglican parish.

I don’t know what the normal colonial order should be.

Unfortunately, Rock did not have time to wait for Emily Hobhouse to grow up. That night, Emily Hobhouse and her party were sent back to Cape Town by Rock.

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

"Did you send Emily Hobhouse back?" Henry was a little confused, and his previous reminder to Rock was in vain.

"Otherwise, what can I do? Play house with her in Oak Town?" Rock said in a sarcastic tone. It was unlucky to meet such a holy lady.

"You, you," Henry pointed at Rock with a trembling finger. He had been pointing at him for a long time, but he still didn't say one, two, three from you.

"Emily Hobhouse is not a problem. You have to be careful about the two German priests who are with Emily Hobhouse." Rock is not worried about Emily Hobhouse. Amy

No matter how ignorant Leigh Hobhouse was, she was still British and would not be capable of cheating. On the contrary, the two German priests deserved more vigilance.

While in Oak Town, Rock noticed the two German priests. Although Emily Hobhouse also had contact with the surrendered Boer coalition members, Emily Hobhouse also had contact with those who surrendered.

Women and children have a comprehensive understanding of the refugee camp.

The two German priests were different. They were only particularly interested in the surrendered Boer coalition members. Although the police responsible for monitoring the two German priests were Boers, among the surrendered Boer coalition members, some of them knew German.

, so the German priest and the Boer coalition members communicated in German.

After Roark learned of this fact, he placed restrictions on the two German pastors, but their behavior had already caused a very bad impact. According to the police responsible for guarding the Boer coalition forces, since the two German pastors and those who surrendered,

After the Boer Alliance members came into contact, the emotions of those members of the Boer Alliance began to become unstable.

"German priest?" Henry looked surprised. It seemed that Henry didn't know the existence of German priests.

"Yes, there are two German priests, one is named Hans, and the other seems to be named Mark. You can tell from the names that they are Germans." Rock has no good impression of Germany. The current Kaiser is Wilhelm II. This guy is a "yellow peril"

The originator of "Theory".

William II was also closely related to the Boer War. In 1896, Cecil Rhodes, the former Prime Minister of the Cape Colony, sent Dr. Johnson, a senior employee of the South African Mining Company, to lead 500 mercenaries of the South African Company and several machine guns in an attempt to

Expedition to the Transvaal to overthrow the Paul Kruger regime in the Transvaal.

The result was tragic. 134 mercenaries were killed and the rest, including Dr. Johnson, were all captured.

After this incident broke out, William II sent a telegram to Paul Kruger to congratulate Paul Kruger on his victory. Britain expressed great anger at William II's behavior.

In short, this guy is a lunatic. The records of his birth in court documents show that William II may have suffered from a serious disease, which caused brain function problems. Translated into Chinese, it probably means brain damage.

"Asshole!" Henry exploded, not sure whether he was scolding Emily Hobhouse or the two German priests.

At noon that day, Henry and Roark went to see August Russell together. After learning what Emily Hobhouse and his party had done in Oak Town, August Russell also felt a big headache.

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

But Rock already understood what August Russell meant, and this was the rhythm for Rock to take the blame.

Referring to the previous attitude of the Expeditionary Force Command towards the Boer Allied Forces prisoners, we can understand that the current so-called "lenient policy" towards the Boer Allied Forces is just an expedient measure by the Expeditionary Force Command. The British government paid a total of 2.22 million before and after the Second Boer War.

Billion pounds, so the British will definitely not let the Boers go easily. If possible, I believe the British government would be willing to see the Boers disappear. This is what the Expeditionary Force Command has always wanted to do.

As a result, those members of the Boer coalition who surrendered became a big trouble. It was impossible to shoot them directly as before. Now there are many military observers from various countries in the Cape. Shooting prisoners of war would damage the reputation of the British Empire. Austria

Gust Russell wanted Rock to find a way that would not affect the reputation of the British Empire and legitimately kill those members of the Boer coalition who had surrendered.

Of course, if Rock's method was not so "justifiable," then Rock would have to bear the blame for "massacre of prisoners of war."

The tragedy is that Roque cannot refuse such an order. Although there is no official document, this is the price for embracing the British.

Do you really think all British people are philanthropists?!

Henry also understood what August Russell meant, so Henry's eyes when he looked at Roark were full of pity, intolerance, or maybe a hint of expectation.

"Yes, Director, I understand." Luo Ke resolutely took this "blame" on his back. The risks are proportional to the benefits. Zi once said: Blessings lie where misfortunes lie, and misfortunes lie where blessings depend.

.

It's me.
