Emily Hobhouse acted quickly. Shortly after returning to Cape Town, Emily Hobhouse submitted a 15-page report to the Cape Colonial Government.
exposed the "terrible" conditions in Sri Lanka's refugee camps.
In Emily Hobhouse's report, Roque was described as a tyrant in the refugee camp. The reason why the refugees lived such a miserable life was all caused by Roque. Roque not only unscrupulously deprived the refugees of their
Daily supplies, but also forcing refugees to work for Roque, and there are even women pregnant in the refugee camps. This is simply unacceptable. You must know that the refugee camps are full of women and children, so the father of the children

Appoint the police responsible for managing the refugee camps.
It would be fine if it was just that. After all, everyone knew that those refugees were not caused by Rock. Emily Hobhouse should not have done anything. While submitting the report to the Cape Colonial Government, she also submitted
It was given to the German government, and as a result, the German government immediately began to hype Emily Hobhouse's report, and the reputation of the Cape Colonial government and Britain was seriously affected.
"That woman has gone crazy. She probably didn't expect the serious consequences if the Germans got the report." As soon as Emily Hobhouse's report came out, Henry rushed to Oak Town to comfort Rock.

"No one thought that Emily Hobhouse deserved it. Yesterday morning, His Excellency the Governor declared Emily Hobhouse a 'persona non grata' and ordered her to be
She will be immediately arrested and sent back to England, where she may be awaiting trial." Henry gloated.
In fact, it is not enough. After a while, the British government will declare Emily Hobhouse an "enemy of the motherland."
House was arrested and deported, which is what he truly deserves.
"But, Locke, I'm sorry," Henry hesitated.
"What?" Rock hasn't come back to his senses yet.
"I mean Emily Hobhouse's report, that may have a certain impact on you." Henry was indeed very sorry. The Cape Colonial Government could deport Emily Hobhouse, but E.
Milly Hobhouse's report has had an impact that is impossible to undo.
"It's okay, you don't have to be sorry. I just did what I should do. No matter how Emily Hobhouse describes me, it's enough that I know what I'm doing." Rock thought openly, even if someone would be affected by Emily
The impact of Emily Hobhouse's report on Rock's misunderstanding is limited to the British mainland. In the Cape, Emily Hobhouse's report will not have an impact on Rock.
On the contrary, because of Emily Hobhouse's report, Rock will also benefit from it, at least in the Cape. Both the Cape Colonial Government and the Expeditionary Force Command should thank Rock because he successfully "attracted"

"I knew you would make the right choice. Trust me Locke, this is not necessarily a bad thing." Henry felt relieved. Everyone wanted to see Locke like this.
In early June, Ada delivered 150 military tents, enough winter clothes, bedding, and some coal and firewood for heating.
All the refugees finally moved into military tents before the snow fell. That night, Cape Town received its first snowfall in the 20th century. The refugees were filled with gratitude to Mrs. Capet. If it were not for Mrs. Capet's generous donation, they would not have known about it.
How many women and children will die tragically on winter nights.
The sporadic light snow did not affect the construction of Oak Town. Christian hired more than 100 Zulus, who were divided into four construction teams, surrounding Oak Square, to rebuild Oak Town according to Rock's plan.
Compared with when Rock first arrived in Oak Town, the current Oak Town is completely different. Dozens of wooden buildings have been built around Oak Square. These wooden buildings are owned by the Chinese police. Since Li De’s family settled in Oak Town,
, Anton also brought his family to Oak Town, and they became the first permanent residents of Oak Town.
Roque made very thoughtful arrangements. In order to allow Li De and Anton's families to live in peace of mind, Roque gave Li De and Anton 100 acres of vineyards each, and allowed Li De and Anton's families to go to Roque's winery.

By mid-June, more Chinese police officers took the family to Cape Town. The number of Chinese in Oak Town had exceeded 500. The vineyard in Rock's hands was only the 150 acres he originally purchased. Later, he purchased more and more acres.
Nearly 1,600 acres of vineyards were transferred by Rock to the Chinese police officers who wanted to settle in Oak Town at the purchase price.
That's about it. There are less than 2,000 acres of vineyards around Oak Town. Now these vineyards are basically controlled by the Chinese police. More than 30 Chinese policemen have chosen to settle in Oak Town. Their homes are all
In the prime area around Oak Square, in addition to the Oak Bar, more than a dozen shops and restaurants have opened in recent times. The Oak Town, which was about to be abandoned, is slowly returning to life.
During this time, Emily Hobhouse's report continued to ferment.
The "tragic situation" of the refugees in the refugee camps has attracted continued attention around the world. The image of the British Empire has plummeted.

In addition to military observers, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the United States sent observers to the Cape and donated large amounts of materials to the concentration camp.
In early July, under strong pressure from international and domestic public opinion, the British Parliament had no choice but to send an investigation team to the Cape.
"Locke, be careful. Don't worry about the domestic investigation team. You have to be careful about the German and Dutch observers. They will definitely find trouble. Don't let them seize the clue." Henry came to Oak Town in advance to remind Locke.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to catch anything. Do you remember what I told you when we first arrived in Oak Town?" Rock said confidently.
"What?" Henry was confused. He had forgotten what Rock said at that time.
