Two days later, the commandos joined a company of the 3rd West Yorkshire Regiment to surround the western section of Hylton Street. In retaliation for the attack on the police some time ago, all Boers in this area were to be imprisoned in concentration camps.
If given a choice, Rock would never want to perform such a task.
Most of the Boers in the entire area are women and children. They have been in panic since the expeditionary force occupied the city. Now they are finally driven out of their homes by heavily armed police and expeditionary force soldiers to face an unknown fate.
When he saw those eyes mixed with hatred and fear, Rock realized deeply that the hatred between the British and the Boers would never be resolved, and that the Chinese policemen undoubtedly acted as the British in this process.
accomplices, so in other words, the hatred between the Chinese and the Boers can never be resolved.
Relatively speaking, the vast majority of Chinese police and Boer police were able to maintain restraint and did not use too many violent methods against the Boers.
The soldiers of the 3rd West Yorkshire Expeditionary Regiment and the Indian police were much more brutal. They didn't even allow the women to pack their belongings, so they violently kicked them out of the house or inspected them in a rough way.
Those women's belongings, and in this process, the precious metals carried by the Boer women were naturally confiscated.
Although Rock also hated those rebels, he could not stand this kind of behavior.
Rock could not control the soldiers of the Third West Yorkshire Expeditionary Regiment, but Rock could restrain the Boer policemen, so Rock asked Reed to remind the Indian police chiefs not to go too far.
It didn't have much effect. It was obvious that even the Indian police chiefs didn't think there was anything wrong with this, especially since the soldiers of the Third West Yorkshire Regiment had violated the rules. The Indian police officers were even more unscrupulous.
Very good, Rock didn't talk nonsense this time and went directly to Joe Russo.
"Damn bastards!" Joe Russell didn't like those Boers either, but Joe Russell didn't like Indians bullying white people even more, so Joe Russell angrily called the Indian police chiefs over and started scolding them.
"These Indians are really hateful. They are lazy and greedy. They also have a bad smell. As long as the Indians have been in the room, the smell will never dissipate. So I never allow Indians to enter my room."
Office." After driving away the Indian police sergeants, Joe Russell was still furious.
Rock had nothing to say about the smell of Indians. Especially in the summer, the smell of Indians can be called a biological weapon, especially the toilets after use by Indians.
Anyway, Roark never uses the toilet in the police station.
Of course, Rock will not cater to Joe Russell on this issue. Just as Joe Russell can't stand Indians bullying Boers who are also white, Rock is also an Oriental. Although Rock doesn't like Indians either, Rock
There is no need to add insult to injury.
Luo Ke did not express his position, but some people couldn't wait.
"Mr. Inspector, I think you are wrong. You are too disrespectful to these Indian policemen. They are employed by the Cape Town Police Department and come all the way to Cape Town. You cannot insult them like this." A man in a suit and tie said.
Guy defends those bandanas.
"Who are you?" Joe Russell looked at the young man in front of him with a pretty good attitude.
"My name is Mohandas Karamchand." The young man's name is quite long.
"I didn't ask your name, why are you here?" Joe Russell didn't talk nonsense. The military and police were working together to prevent anyone from entering. The young man in front of him was neither a policeman nor a soldier. He should not have been here in the first place.
What's more, this young man seems to be Indian too, because he also has that strange smell.
"I am a lawyer, entrusted by the city government to come here to provide medical services that may be needed." Mohandas was unusually calm, but his words were not very coherent.
Lawyers providing medical services?
It feels like a good mix and match.
"What's your name? Full name." Roque was curious. There weren't many people named "Mohandas".
At least not many in the Cape.
"Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi" is really a hit.
oh!!!
Rock was shocked, Gandhi was actually in Cape?
Shouldn't he be in India at this time advocating for the non-violent non-cooperation movement?
What Rock didn't know was that Gandhi had actually been to the Cape. In 1891, Gandhi obtained a law degree from University College London and qualified as a lawyer. That year, Gandhi returned to India and opened a law firm in Bombay.
Gandhi's career as a lawyer was not smooth. The first time he litigated a lawsuit for someone, he failed due to stage fright. Half a year later, the law firm closed down. Gandhi returned home and maintained his legal practice in his hometown of Rajkot with the support of his brother, relatives and friends.
, but there was still no improvement. In 1893, an Indian in the Cape had a case that needed to be handled. The Indian probably could not find a lawyer in the Cape willing to defend him, so Gandhi came to the Cape without hesitation.
From 1893 to the present, Gandhi has been staying in the Cape. Although his work as a lawyer has not improved, Gandhi has found a new way and not only established his own political party, but also founded his own newspaper "Indian Opinion".
Of course, the current Gandhi is not the future "Mahatma Gandhi". After the outbreak of the Boer War, Gandhi stood on the side of his British masters without hesitation, organized an Indian ambulance team with 1,100 members, and went to the front line to actively serve the British.
The military provides services.
This is where lawyers provide medical services.
"I don't care what your name is. You can't stay here without my permission. Now, please leave immediately." Joe Russell didn't know who he was facing, so he took out his handkerchief and covered it rudely.
nose.
In fact, it's not that bad. In any case, Gandhi can be considered a person who has received modern education. He stayed in London for more than four years.
"Sir, you should not treat me with this attitude. I am here to provide services to you." Gandhi argued.
"But I don't need your service!" Joe Russell frowned, unable to drive him away. How could there be such a shameless person?
"Just because you don't need it doesn't mean that others don't need it either. You are performing your tasks, and I am also performing my job." Gan said confidently.
"Let's do this, Mr. Mohandas" Rock tried to smooth things over. After all, this is also one of the great men of the future.
"Please call me Gandhi" Gandhi said righteously, looking at Rock with deep contempt in his eyes.
