Never think of the National Guard in Southern Africa as the people's army. The National Guard entered Bloemfontein to maintain order in Bloemfontein and prevent riots. It has nothing to do with disaster relief.
Of course, if there is a natural disaster such as a flood or earthquake, the National Guard and even the National Defense Force will be involved in disaster relief. Forget about influenza, this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and has nothing to do with the Ministry of National Defense.
Of the three capitals in southern Africa, Bloemfontein is the smallest.
Although it is small, it has many management agencies. The city with less than 200,000 people is divided into six districts. The train station was just moved from the city center to the suburbs last year. The airport is under construction and is expected to be completed next winter, that is, June or July.
.
Don’t think that 200,000 people is too few. Bloemfontein in another time and space only had 750,000 people in 2011. Bloemfontein means “root of flowers” in Boer, and in Sesotho, Bloemfontein means “root of flowers”.
Longfontein means "the place where the cheetahs live".
Bloemfontein in the 21st century is the city with the highest concentration of white people in South Africa. It is known as the most livable city in South Africa because of its low crime rate and the high quality of life it can provide people.
Bloemfontein in this time and space, because the Orange State as a whole is developing slowly outside the federal government of Southern Africa, the vast majority of people living in Bloemfontein are Boers, unlike other states where the population is growing rapidly.
The population of Orange State has declined over the years instead of increasing. When the federal government was established, there were nearly 800,000 people in Orange State. Now the total population of Orange State is less than 750,000.
Although the population is small, there are many things to do. The Boers advocate freedom and do not like restrictions. The state government decided to implement a curfew in Bloemfontein, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the citizens of Bloemfontein.
"I want to go out to buy food. I don't have anything to eat at home. I don't care, but what will happen to my three children?" In a residential area near King's Park, citizens who want to go out to buy food and police officers on duty
A language conflict occurred.
"The curfew information has been announced at noon. The time from noon to now is enough for you to make all preparations. Go home now. If you must go out, then I will arrest you." The police are firm, and the meaning of the curfew is
Nocturnal activities are prohibited, and everyone must stay at home unless there are special circumstances.
"I've made it very clear, my children are hungry, I'm just going to the corner food store to buy some food, it only takes ten minutes at most -"
"Please, do me a favor-"
"My child is sick and needs to go to the hospital immediately——"
There is more than one resident who wants to go out, and they all hope that the police on duty can be accommodating.
"Go back home and wait, I will call you and call an ambulance for your child -" Being sick is definitely a special situation, especially when influenza is raging, special situations can still be accommodated.
"What about my child? My child will get sick if he doesn't eat -"
"That's too much. Don't you have children at home? Why can't you think about us?"
The residents were noisy, and many of them did not even wear masks or even the most basic protection.
"Shut up, everyone! Go home right away, or we will take you all away -" the police officer's mouth went dry and he was losing patience.
"God, what should we do-"
"Asshole, so inhumane——"
"I will file a complaint against you, police officer No. 330519!"
The police system in Southern Africa is still very complete. People can complain about the police's irregular law enforcement. Governments at all levels of the federal government have agencies dedicated to handling complaints, and the responses to complaints are also quite timely.
"Whatever you want, please also check clearly, my number is 380518." The police officer is not afraid, because complaints caused by strict law enforcement are not within the scope of acceptance.
The middle-aged man who wanted to complain to the police officer was a British immigrant who had just immigrated to Southern Africa and did not know much about the police system in Southern Africa.
He didn't just say it, he called the complaint hotline after returning home.
"Yes, my name is Robert, and I want to file a complaint against the police officer No. 380518 -" Robert was very angry. The British thought very highly of themselves in Southern Africa. He also thought that Southern Africa was a colony of the British Empire.
"Okay Mr. Robert, please describe in detail what happened -" The other end of the phone was a policewoman with a sweet voice and a gentle attitude, which made Robert feel very useful.
However, after Robert described the whole story, the policewoman's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
"Sorry Robert, the officer's decision was correct. During the curfew, you must stay at home unless there are special circumstances."
"My children have nothing to eat. Isn't that special enough?" Robert really couldn't understand that thousands of people died in London every winter due to smog, and no action was taken from the London government.
"Sorry Robert, this is not a special situation. Please prepare more food tomorrow and abide by the relevant regulations of the curfew." The female police officer is about to end the call. Their daily work intensity is also very intense. On average, each of them has to answer questions every day.
Hundreds of phone calls.
Don't think that just sitting and answering the phone is an easy task. Complaining calls and making phone calls are two different things. You need to appease the complainant and figure out what happened. You also need to record the phone while answering the phone. The work must be more intensive.
Not too small either.
"Wait, don't hang up the phone yet. What I want to say is that the attitude of police officer No. 380518 is extremely bad. He should not use this attitude. I am a taxpayer-" Robert emphasized the interests of taxpayers, which is indeed very important.
, unfortunately it cannot bring about fundamental changes.
"I'm sorry, I don't think there is anything wrong with the attitude of police officer No. 380518. He is just performing his duties. If he lets you leave your home, he will be irresponsible to other taxpayers." The female police officer's voice became colder. Some people are always immovable.
Let’s talk about taxpayer status. What’s there to say? The police in Southern Africa are also taxpayers in the final analysis. What’s there to say?
"You are showing blatant favoritism. What is your police number? I want to file a complaint against you -" Robert was very dissatisfied with the female police officer's attitude.
"My number is 381123. You are welcome to supervise my services -" The prompter next to the policewoman's phone was flashing, indicating that there were still calls waiting for access, and there was no time to chat with Robert.
This night, similar scenes were frequently staged in Bloemfontein.
After daybreak, the National Guard, which had just arrived in Bloemfontein in the early morning, was already on duty on the streets. Later, more supplies and medical personnel arrived in batches, and the situation in Bloemfontein gradually stabilized.
Roque did not take it lightly. After Philip, Kitchener also developed cold symptoms, but Kitchener was unwilling to go to the hospital on the grounds that the governor-general and the prime minister of Southern Africa could not fall ill at the same time.
"One of the governor-general and the prime minister must be in good health. If the governor-general and the prime minister are admitted to the hospital at the same time, what do you think will happen, Locke? It will cause great panic among the people and lead to the collapse of social order in southern Africa. You definitely don't want to
Philip doesn't want to do this either." Kitchina tends to avoid medical treatment, which is normal. Older people are more resistant to hospitals and diseases.
Although the governor-general of Kitchener did not have much actual power, he was still the nominal leader of southern Africa and his status was still very high.
Don't look at Kitchina being as cheerful as Maitreya Buddha in front of Rock all day long. He is actually a very tough man. During the Second Boer War, it was precisely because of Kitchinna's cruel scorched earth policy that the Boers were
Forced into a desperate situation.
During the World War, Kitchener's status in the British army was almost equal to that of King George V, and he was the spiritual idol of all British soldiers.
How could such a person be knocked down by a small flu?
"Marshal, you are responsible for your health when you go to the hospital -" Although the Governor's Mansion also has a medical team, Roque still hopes that Kitchina can go to the hospital for treatment.
"Locke, it's okay, just let the Governor stay in the Governor's Mansion for treatment. This old guy is in good health and won't go to see God so easily." Ade meets Kitchina every day, but Ade doesn't seem to be affected.
Influence.
In fact, Adelaide's physical condition is not good and he has been suffering from diseases in recent years.
On the contrary, Kitchina's health has always been very good. In the years since he came to southern Africa, he has not even had a headache or fever.
However, the situation of Kitchin sodium is not good. Many people who do not usually get sick often suffer from incurable diseases once they get sick. On the contrary, people who have constant minor illnesses pay more attention to their health.
"There's nothing to worry about. Even if I go to see God, I won't be afraid. Compared with my old friends, I'm already very lucky -" Kitchina is frank and has an attitude towards life.
Open-minded.
"Don't say that, Marshal, you should live to be a hundred years old and see how we completely defeated the Germans!" Roque helped Kitchener set a new goal in life. His current state is very dangerous.
, usually if you write like this, you will basically not survive more than two chapters.
In fact, compared with Kitchinna in another time and space, Kitchinna in this time and space is already very lucky.
In another time and space, Kitchina was on a cruise to Russia during the World War. The ship was sunk by a German submarine, and Kitchinna was killed along with the ship.
"Hahahaha, okay Locke, I believe you can do it!" Kitchina laughed loudly, showing no hesitation or fear in the face of death.
grim Reaper?
Kitchina has killed countless people in his life, and he is the real God of Death.
Just as southern Africa was fighting the flu attack with all its strength, the heavy cruiser "St. George" of the Indian Ocean Fleet arrived in the Lion City. Its mission was to join forces with the British Eastern Fleet to jointly combat pirates in the South Asian waters.
ps: Sorry, a friend got married yesterday, and the fish head was inhumanely taken to eat dog food, and then he was full——
