Rock successfully applied for a new partner, and just as Rock thought, the new partner was Li De.
"Master Luo, I have wanted to be in the same class with you for a long time. The Indian who was in the same class with me was lazy, greedy, greedy, and bad. He didn't eat enough, and he couldn't do anything. The boss said that Indians were good at foreign language.
, I read Indians’ foreign language, and it’s not hard for foreigners to understand it.” Li De was very excited. Indians’ English proficiency is only about that, but they are very good at deceiving others and their bragging skills are top-notch.
Speaking of Indian English, this is another weird thing among weird things. Ever since it was colonized by the British, India has begun to use English as its mother tongue. However, after English arrived in India, it began to become nondescript. The English spoken by Indians, even the British
I don’t even understand. This is really not a joke.
"Li De, your name is not bad. Remember, your English name will be Li De from now on, r-e-d-d. Don't you want to bring me to Cape Town? I will teach you a good way to register with the Immigration Bureau and become an official
A Capetonian, and then your monthly salary can be increased to 5 pounds, which is enough for you and my mother." Rock can't talk to Anton, but he can make the decision for Li De. All the time,
Li De is Roque's younger brother, the kind of loyal person. Even if Roque becomes an ordinary patrolman after arriving in Cape Town, Li De is still loyal to Roque.
"After registering, won't we become Capetonians? Can we go back to our hometown in the future?" Li De had no objection, but was a little uneasy.
"Why can't we go back? Register as Capetonians. If we go back to the Qing Dynasty, we will be foreigners. Think about the status of foreigners in the Qing Dynasty. When we return to the Qing Dynasty, we will be able to walk sideways. We will all bow to the county magistrates when they see us." Luo
Ke's tongue is also very good, and Che Luolun's words are reversed and turned upside down. Anyway, Luo Ke is right.
"It's true, the foreign devils are so tyrannical in our Qing Dynasty, but if we become foreigners, we are afraid that we will not be able to enter the ancestral graves in the future." Li De was still hesitating. Forgetting one's ancestors is a taboo for the Chinese. In the 21st century, Rock saw
There are many examples of families immigrating, but they were rare in the 19th century.
"It's up to you. I plan to settle in Cape Town. When we patrol the streets later, I'm going to look for a house. From now on, my home will be in Cape Town." Rock said this, regardless of whether Li De wanted it or not.
Rock won't force you.
In fact, settling in Cape Town is not a long-term solution. Cape Town is pretty good now. When the Union of South Africa is established, South Africa's future will be very sad. Of course, that is not Roque's problem. Roque will leave until black people take power in South Africa.
In this land of right and wrong, let alone with Roque around, it was doubtful whether black people would have a chance to take power. South Africa in the mid-20th century was a quasi-developed country.
"No, Mr. Luo, I'll settle down. Isn't it okay if I settle down?" Li De saw that Roque was giving up, and immediately decided to follow Roke's footsteps: "It's not that we don't know the benefits of settling down, but everyone used to
No one has settled down, and no one is thinking about settling down. Mr. Luo, you dare to settle down, and of course I, Li De, dare to settle down. At least we can still be companions together."
Money attracts people's hearts. With a monthly salary of five pounds, it would be false to say that they are not tempted. The key is that no one takes the first step. As long as there is the first person to be a crab, the country complex is not so indestructible.
As long as you are willing to settle down, Luo Ke is also worried that he will become a loner after settling down. Then Luo Ke's naturalization will have no demonstration effect. Now that Li De is willing to settle down with Luo Ke, it is a good start. I believe the officials of the police station will definitely see it.
At the same time, Sheriff Henry Matilda was reporting to Inspector Austin Burns.
"Those Qing people were finally willing to settle in Cape Town? Who was the first person to settle in Cape Town?" Austin Burns was very pleased that finally a sensible Chinese showed up. Austin Burns had been waiting for this day for a long time.
To be honest, there was a time when Austin Pence thought that Chinese police officers were fools. Even though the benefits of naturalization in Cape Town were readily available, no Chinese policeman was willing to naturalize in Cape Town. This was not in line with Austin Pence’s understanding of human nature.
Austin Burns used to be British, but is now a naturalized Cape Town citizen. Immigration is normal for British people.
"It's Luo. He named himself Locke. This Locke is very magical. He is different from other Qing people. He speaks fluent English and can speak a little Italian. Just now, Locke helped me solve a problem.
Big trouble." Henry Matilda was full of praise for Roque. The lady just now was the wife of a Colonial Bureau official. Without Roque, Henry Matilda would have been in trouble.
"Luo, I think I've heard of this name." Austin Burns had a little impression of Roark, but the impression was not deep. There are hundreds of police officers in the Cape Town Police Department, and Austin Burns can't remember everyone.
.
"The same Luo who was attacked by rioters and then fell into a coma and was hospitalized. Locke had the experience of serving in Huayong Camp. When he was in Huayong Camp, his military rank was corporal. According to his rank, Locke could also serve as police sergeant when he came to Cape Town.
Yes, but who told him to be from the Qing Dynasty." Henry Matilda felt a little regretful. Origin was important at all times.
"A very good resume. Huayong Camp is a useful attempt. If Huayong Camp's loyalty can be guaranteed, then the scale of Huayong Camp will be further expanded in the future. Unfortunately, it seems that Huayong Camp's loyalty is not enough."
, so the superiors are still hesitating. Now that Locke has been naturalized, let him get enough benefits. We need more Lockes to appear." Austin Pence's level can learn more information, and the British also know how to buy with thousands of dollars.
The truth about horse bones.
The original intention of the British to establish Huayong Camp was to assist the British in managing the concessions in the Qing Dynasty. Loyalty is what the British value most at all times. Why can lazy and inefficient Indians get along so well under the British?
?It’s because Indians are loyal enough. Although they are lacking in ability, compared with black people in Africa, Indians are already good, and the British have no better choice.
Purely in terms of ability, there is a clear gap between Indians and Chinese. The British officers of the Huayong Battalion commented on the Huayongs that "everyone is a sharpshooter with perfect accuracy" and "losing outstanding soldiers like them would be a disaster for the British Empire."
"The heavy losses", purely in terms of evaluation, the Huayong Battalion received better evaluations than the Hong Kong Legion, which was established earlier.
If the soldiers of Huayong Battalion have any shortcomings, it may be that they are not good at expressing themselves. Although the Huayong soldiers have proved their loyalty with their actions, for the British, the soldiers of Huayong Battalion have no problem with the British.
They showed true goodwill, so the trust given by the British to the Huayongs was reserved.
Roque took the initiative to settle in Cape Town, which in Austin Burns' view was Roque's expression of goodwill to the British Empire.
