97 Infighting

 Because the expeditionary force confiscated all the heavy weapons of the guerrillas and left only pistols for self-defense to the guerrillas, the three brothers Albert Simpson had no choice but to go to Cape Town to obtain long weapons.

Just because Rock can't find the three Albert Simpson brothers doesn't mean that Louis Botta can't be found either. Through this incident, Rock has enough reason to believe that even if the guerrillas disband, Louis Botta will definitely be there.

There was a way to contact all the guerrillas, so as long as the three Albert Simpson brothers showed up in Orange, Louis Botha would find them.

A good man always goes to the end. Louis Botha did not raise the price, but directly told Rock the hiding place of the three Albert Simpson brothers and Cliff.

Rock immediately arranged for people to arrest him.

This time there is no need for Roque to take action personally. Roque will discuss a plan with Louis Botta to try to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"It is impossible to completely eliminate it. Hatred has been sown and cannot be eliminated in a short time unless all of our generation dies." Louis Botha was more pessimistic and did not believe that it was possible to reconcile the contradictions between the Boers and the British.

On the surface, this is a contradiction between Boer farmers and Chinese farmers. In fact, both Rock and Louis Botha knew that the root cause of the contradiction between the Chinese and the Boers still lies in the contradiction between the Boers and the British.

"One thing you have to understand, Louis, is that the British in southern Africa are different from the British in the UK." Roque emphasized to Louis Botha.

Louis Botta immediately opened his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that there is no difference between Boers and British anymore. Whether we are Boers or British, or we Chinese, we are all Afrikaners now, and we all have to strive to build a prosperous and powerful country.

, strive for a democratic and civilized new federation." Roque drew a pie for Louis Botta and clearly proposed the concept of a "new federation."

"You Chinese and British are all vested interests now, of course you will say so, but who will consider the interests of us Boers?" Louis Botha was also full of complaints. No matter how good the treatment given by the British to the Boers, the Boers will eventually

He lost his country.

"Aren't those compensation payments, relief payments, and loans considering the interests of the Boers? Even settling the Boers in Orange is for the sake of the Boers. Otherwise, would it be wrong to leave the Boers in the Transvaal?

Will it cause new conflicts? That is absolutely certain." Roque did not give Louis Botha a chance to quibble. If the first million was not enough to appease the Boers, and now another million has come, if the Boers

If a person is not satisfied, then he is greedy.

Johannesburg will accept the final distribution plan of 000 pounds, also out of this aspect of interests.

Regardless of whether Philip Matilda admits it or not, the Johannesburg city government has received the largest war dividend, so Johannesburg must bear more responsibilities. Otherwise, once the Boers from Orange return, Johannesburg will also have to pay the price.

"Accept the reality, Louis, the Boers can no longer have their own country, but the Boers have also jumped out of the previous limitations and have a broader space. Now the Boers can go to Cape, Natal, and Roland at will.

Desia, this was never possible before, we have to look forward, this is a good thing in the long run." Roque does not care about the immediate gains and losses, Louis Botta is a smart man, he will understand, otherwise he will not

Show your kindness to Rock.

When the Boer Republic took the initiative to request negotiations, it was a desperate move. Now that the matter has come to this, what's the point of fussing over it?

It is better to seize the time to rebuild our homeland, establish a firm foothold within three to five years, and then wait for democratic representation in three to five years.

The democratic representative system is the establishment of a democratically elected government, with members selected by the citizens to represent the citizens in participating in political affairs. The United Kingdom and the United States use democratic representative systems.

In the "Peace Agreement", the representative system is also a very important aspect. Article 8 of the "Peace Agreement" stipulates that when conditions are ripe, a representative self-government system will be established in South Africa.

Note that "South Africa" ​​is used here, not Transvaal and Orange.

In other words, the British government agreed to establish a system of representative self-government in all four Cape colonies when conditions were ripe.

This is actually a pit dug by Ad for the Boers. There is no quantitative measurement standard for the so-called "ripe conditions". So when the conditions will be ripe, it is the British government that has the final say.

In fact, the Boer Republic did not pay much attention to this article. When signing, the representatives of the Boer Republic certainly did not expect that the conditions would mature so quickly.

Young Smuts went to London in 1905 and tentatively raised this issue with Prime Minister Campbell Bannerman. As a result, Campbell Bannerman readily agreed.

Even Yang Shimozi couldn't believe it.

"Haha, Sir Locke, do you think the British government will agree to our establishment of a 'New Federation'?" Louis Botha couldn't believe it either.

"How will you know if you don't try? In the Boer War, you were certainly hurt, and London was exhausted from fighting. No one wants to see the war break out again, so we will wait and see, but before that, we must first develop

You should not waste your energy on unnecessary internal friction. People like the three Albert Simpson brothers are very dangerous and unstable factors. They are like time bombs that can trigger the Transvaal and Austria at any time.

There is a conflict between the two places, so such dangerous hidden dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible." Roque made the request, not afraid that Louis Botha would not agree. The Boers need to recuperate more than the Chinese.

If Louis Botha disagrees, then Roque will use some unconventional means to make the Boers feel like they are often attacked. It is easy to do this, and there is no need for the Chinese to take action. Yaya has many men who need work.

, but the Zulu people are looked down upon by the police.

So far, although the Johannesburg Police Department has undergone two large-scale expansions, the number of Zulu police officers is still only about 200.

In addition, Roque sent more than a thousand retired Zulu scouts to Portuguese East Africa. These scouts not only trained the Yao people, but also participated in attacks against the Portuguese.

Despite this, Yaya still has thousands of retired Zulu scouts, most of whom are now in Zululand, waiting for Yaya to assign jobs to them.

"How to clear it?" Louis Botta's face looked ugly, and Roque's choice of words was indeed a bit rude.

"Don't be angry Louis. Compared with the serious consequences they may cause, we must nip the danger in the bud." Rock doesn't think this is rude. If there are unrest among the Chinese, Rock will clean it up in advance.

: "At the very least, before they commit a crime, if they stay in their place of residence, they must be monitored as necessary. If they go out, they must report to the police station in advance, explaining the direction, purpose, time, etc. If they suddenly

If they are missing, the police station must report it in time to facilitate the arrest by the superior police station. To achieve this goal, the police station needs to register the household registration of all permanent residents in the jurisdiction. In addition, if they commit a crime, they must be included in the sentencing process.

The intensity of punishment must be increased when it is time to be shot, and when it is time to be exiled, it is necessary to increase the intensity of punishment at this time, in order to deter criminals."

If possible, Roque would like to launch a "hard strike", but unfortunately it is unrealistic to launch a "hard strike" in the Transvaal and Orange. The Transvaal and Orange only have so few white people. After careful investigation, it will be

You will find that your buttocks are not clean and cannot withstand several severe spankings.

What Rock said are actually just basic monitoring methods. The higher-level method is the "Bao Jia System". However, in modern society, it is also unrealistic to implement the "Bao Jia System", so Rock can only settle for the second best.

"Haha, Locke, have you ever thought about how much this will increase the cost of policing?" Louis Botta actually didn't understand how much value this could produce.

"Maybe it will increase a little, but it will be worth it." Rock is not afraid of spending money, and the Johannesburg Police Department is already doing this.

"Sorry Sir Locke, Orange can't do it now." Louis Botha lowered his head and weighed it, and finally admitted that the Orange Police Department is not as wealthy as the Johannesburg Police Department.

In fact, Roque knows what Louis Botha means. If Roque promises now that the Johannesburg Police Department will be responsible for all the expenses incurred, then Louis Botha will definitely agree.

But Roque would not do that. The Boers were almost spoiled now and wanted to eat and ask for everything. Roque would not be used to the Boers' bad habits.

After receiving Rock's order, Martin led the commando and detective teams to set off immediately.

The three brothers Albert Simpson were hiding in a place called Rosendale on the border of Orange and Basutoland (Lesotho).

There is a hilly area near Rosendal, and the surrounding area is fertile farmland, which had been developed to a certain extent before the Boer War.

After the war broke out, the farms near Rosendale, like the rest of Orange, were abandoned, and the Zulus from Basutoland took the opportunity to occupy these farms.

The three brothers Albert Simpson have now gathered more than a dozen people. They are planning to rest in Rosendal for a while and then head to the Transvaal, preparing to restart a new guerrilla war in the Transvaal.

"I say brothers, you have seriously underestimated the strength of the Johannesburg Police Department. They are much more difficult to deal with than the expeditionary force. I suggest that we go to Natal, do our job in Natal, and then go to Portuguese East Africa, or go to

Australia is better than going to Johannesburg." Cliff didn't want to go to Johannesburg. Thinking of the deep dungeon in the Johannesburg police station, Cliff felt itchy in his bones.

Rock had completely forgotten Cliff, but the Johannesburg police had not forgotten Cliff.

When Cliff was imprisoned in the dungeon, police officers would come to Cliff every now and then to "talk", "ask" Cliff about his purpose in going to Johannesburg, and "help" Cliff recall what Cliff had done during the war.

What happened.

When he was in the guerrillas, Cliff considered himself a man, otherwise he would not be qualified to be Louis Botta's guard.

At the Johannesburg police station, Cliff became a black bear beaten into submission.

This is not a shame. Within a week after Cliff was imprisoned in the dungeon, more than a dozen "neighbors" died. The most was three people who died in one night. Cliff didn't know where those bodies were sent.

, it is strictly forbidden to discuss these things in the dungeon. The police use earphones to monitor the dungeon. If anyone dares to communicate these things, they will be whipped at the least, or shot directly at the worst. It is cruel and heinous.

"Haha, brother Cliff, are you scared out of your wits by those yellow people?" Cody, the youngest of the three Albert Simpson brothers, laughed at Cliff unscrupulously, and Albert Simpson himself also seemed to be laughing.

Not smiling.

Cody is a little guy who is only eighteen years old. Despite his young age, he has a very cruel personality. Others kill people with one knife as much as possible, but this guy likes to kill people slowly and enjoy the death of his victims.

Screaming and begging for mercy.

"Haha, Cody, don't think that you are invincible just because you have killed a few people. Everyone here has killed many people, and it was on an upright battlefield. It was not a sneak attack from behind, or killing someone who was easily captured. The police in Johannesburg

You will know if it is powerful or not. You will know if you try it." Cliff also smiled half-heartedly, and the pistol was within easy reach. As for whether Cliff was brave or not, Cody could not comment.

To be honest, among the Boers, Cliff's reputation is much greater than that of the three Albert Simpson brothers. If they hadn't roped in Cliff and relied on the fame of the three Albert Simpson brothers, they would never have found him.

helper.

The slaughter of unarmed ordinary people was frowned upon even among the Boers.

"Hahahaha, I don't believe how powerful those yellow men are. They can't even protect their wives. I'm going to chop off all their heads." Cody laughed wildly. Beheading was his latest hobby.

After arriving in Rosendale, in order not to leak the news, the three brothers Albert Simpson killed several Zulu families here. Their heads were chopped off by Cody, even those who were already dead.

.

"I wish you success, you will have a chance," Cliff said absently, determined to leave these lunatics as soon as possible.

Cody wanted to retort, but suddenly several gunshots were heard outside the door, and then someone used a tin horn to persuade him to surrender.

"Albert Simpson, I know you are inside. You have been surrounded by us. Putting down your weapons and raising your hands to surrender immediately is your only way out. You only have five minutes. After five minutes, we will burn down all the houses here. If

If you don’t want to become a suckling pig, then throw out the weapon now, put your hands behind your head, and walk out of the house.”

"Who is Fa? Who betrayed us!" Cody was furious.

"How the hell did the police know we were here!"

"What do you mean?"

Before the police could attack, the small improvised team fell into internal strife.
