If Henry's approach is followed, it probably won't be long before all the Boers in Pretoria will be thrown into concentration camps. After all, Pretoria is not that big now.
But this kind of revenge is also necessary, otherwise there will be endless attacks against police or soldiers. As for those who are innocently implicated, they are all victims of the times, including policemen like Rock.
Before Roark and the others came to Pretoria, the Australian cavalry unit responsible for enforcing military control in Pretoria had transformed the Pretoria Prison during the Transvaal Republic into a concentration camp to detain the family members of the Boer coalition forces.
, as for those captured members of the Boer coalition, most of them were shot, and the rest were exiled to India, Ceylon and Bermuda, with no hope of returning to the Cape in this life.
When the provisional government takes over Pretoria, it will also take over the management of the concentration camp. This time it will not be Roque's turn to manage the concentration camp. The commandos have important tasks.
"I think we should complete the registration of all residents of Pretoria in the shortest possible time, focusing on counting those adult men, and all those men who are about to become adults. They may be our potential enemies, and the key is
These people still have guns in their hands and they have the ability to carry out attacks." Roque is worried that the security situation in Pretoria will continue to deteriorate. In the past, all citizens of the Transvaal Republic were soldiers and everyone could legally hold weapons. This would have a negative impact on the police.
Our jobs are a huge threat.
"Registering residents is a matter for the provisional government. We don't have this right. Now our task is to maintain law and order and use all means." Henry has no choice. Compared to the size of Pretoria, several hundred police officers are really hard to come by.
It's too little.
The provisional government has just been established, and its affairs are complicated. The government agencies have not even determined their office locations, and the performance of their functions is far away.
Christian has been crazy busy these days. He has to find suitable office locations for the big guys, repair the Palace of Justice to prepare for Alfred Milner, and repair the wealthy area surrounding the Church Square.
Without so many manpower, Padbeck had to be sent to Zululand to hire more Zulus.
Compared with the Boers who claim to be "aboriginal people", the Zulu people are the aborigines of the Cape. Due to the successive invasions of the Boers and the British, the Zulu territory has become smaller and smaller. Their leader is called Din Zulu (
dinizulu).
Speaking of Din Zulu, this man is truly able to have both sides. In 1884, King Cetshwayo of the Zulu Kingdom passed away and Din Zulu, who was nearly 15 years old, came to the throne. At that time, the Zulu Kingdom was experiencing internal and external troubles. Din Zulu hired Boer mercenaries to stabilize the domestic situation.
The leader of those Boer mercenaries was Louis Botha, the current commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition.
After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, both the Boers and the Cape Colonial Government sent people to Zululand to contact Dinzulu, hoping that Dinzulu would join their side.
Din Zulu's initial attitude was to remain neutral. However, after the war began, the British army suffered a defeat on the frontal battlefield. At this time, Din Zulu showed a keen strategic vision and began to fully support the Cape Colonial Government. Not only did he allow the expeditionary force to conduct operations in Zululand
He built warehouses within the territory to store military supplies, and personally led troops to serve the expeditionary force.
Din Zulu therefore also has a modern army armed with rifles and advanced armaments.
The Zulus whom Christian hired at Oak Town were from Zululand.
To be honest, Roque doesn't like the Zulus, not at all. In the 21st century, Roque has seen too many negative news about black people. But in this era, Roque has no choice. Pretoria is in urgent need of reconstruction.
However, the Boer men in Pretoria were either shot or exiled. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in Pretoria. It was expected that they would not be able to complete the reconstruction work. Only Zululand could provide enough
Labor force, and the key is that the Zulu people charge low prices and require almost no compensation. In this regard, even the Chinese do not have many advantages compared to the Zulu people.
There is no way, compared with the black people in the 21st century, the Zulus of this era are really useful. They eat less and work more. They have no requirements for the working environment and only need a small amount of food every day.
, they can work hard all day, and they don’t even need a supervisor. Rock has already seen it when he was in Oak Town. Those Zulu people simply accepted everything. Even Rock had to admit that Oak Town can have the current changes.
, those Zulu people are definitely indispensable, and their work cannot be represented by the meager remuneration.
Of course, you can see Rock's evil intentions at this time. Although the Zulus have contributed to Oak Town, Rock will never show it, so after the transformation of Oak Town is completed, Rock will let Christian
All the Zulus were taken away, and then only the Chinese and Boers would be left in Oak Town.
At most, Rock can ask Christian to pay those Boers more wages.
"I have warned my subordinates that they are not allowed to leave the main road and enter remote alleys under any circumstances. Recently, we still first ensure the security around the church square, and then gradually expand to other areas. In addition,
I need more subordinates." Joe Russell also reflected that in extraordinary times, the patrol police's working methods should also be appropriately changed.
"Everyone wants more subordinates, but now we don't have enough manpower." Henry has no choice. Compared with other government agencies, the police station is pretty good, with more than a few hundred people. Government agencies are short of manpower.
The situation is more serious.
Fortunately, there is also Christian. There is a railway connection between Pretoria and Zululand. In mid-August, the first train from Zululand brought more than a thousand Zulus, all of whom were Christian.
Ann's employee.
The train station is a key area for security work. Luo Ke looked at the large black area on the platform and felt really dizzy.
Damn it, when will it be so convenient for Chinese immigrants?
"Hello Mr. Christian, I am the special assistant to Mr. Mars Yates. Now take your people and follow me. There is a particularly urgent job that you need to complete as quickly as possible." On the platform, a man wearing a suit
The neat young man called Christian away.
When will Christian be called "Sir"?
And he was still called "Sir" by the special assistant of Mars Yates. Mars Yates is the new mayor of Pretoria. Roque is not qualified to be called "Sir" in front of his special assistant.
