Of course, there is a need to retain it. In the plan of Police Chief August Russell, the commando team must not only be retained, but also be further expanded in size.
As a violent organization, August Russell also hopes to have a force that can fight well. Counting on those Indian patrols is unreliable. August Russell also knows that those Indian patrols are just fake, used to scare people.
It's okay, but it won't come in handy at critical times.
After the commando team was established, Rock only led the commando team once and captured several gold smugglers. It was this operation that made August Russell see the potential of the commando team. This idea was correct.
Therefore, although the rioters have been brought to justice, the commando team will definitely not be disbanded, because no one is sure whether similar incidents will occur in Cape Town in the future.
"Locke, Mr. Director is very satisfied with your work. Next, the commando team will take on more important tasks. You must be ready at any time." Austin Pence's attitude towards Rock was not bad, although Rock was still not qualified to sit down.
, but because of the gold, it was obvious that Rock had already registered in Austin Burns' heart and was classified as one of his own by Austin Burns.
"The scale of the commando team will be further expanded. Personnel can be recruited externally or selected internally. What do you think about this?" Austin Pence asked Rock for his opinion. After all, Rock is the actual person in charge of the commando team. Although
Henry is nominally the captain of the commando team.
"I have no objection, Mr. Inspector." Rock gave up the right to make demands. Although Rock could take the opportunity to ask for more police officers to be recruited from Huayong Camp, Rock didn't want to make this suggestion himself, which would give Austin Peng
It left a bad impression.
"Very good, go back to work." Austin Pence did not embarrass Rock, picked up an envelope from the table and handed it to Rock: "This is the bonus for closing the case, given by Titus Mining Company. Let's go have a drink after get off work. Bar."
Sure enough, Titus Mining Company was able to bypass the police station to handle this matter, and the police department must have received a lot of benefits. Austin Burns did not treat Roark badly. This is the correct way to be an official.
Back in his office, Rock opened the envelope and found a hundred pounds worth of banknotes inside.
Rock thought for a moment, put the envelope in the desk drawer, and got up to find Henry.
"Less than 20 of the 100 pounds of funds have been used. Who should I give the rest to?" Rock works from beginning to end. Rewards are rewards, funds are funds, and unused funds must be turned over.
"You can keep it and share it with the people below. Uh, what should we do with your informants?" Henry doesn't care about that little money. If Rock gets the benefits, Henry must get even more benefits.
"One of them is disabled. I hired him to mow the lawn. There is no news about the other three people yet. I suspect that they took the money I gave them and ran away. Don't let me catch them." Rock said angrily, except Zach.
, there is no news from the other three people until now, which is indeed a shame.
"Hahahaha, I told you a long time ago that those Boers can't be trusted." Henry will definitely not let go of this opportunity to laugh at Roark. This is a good thing. Roark can't be too perfect and should give people something to laugh at.
Chance, otherwise Rock wouldn't have any friends.
"I also know that the Boers cannot be trusted, but if we don't trust the Boers now, who can we trust?" Roque has no choice. In Cape Town, if you want to do things, you can only trust the Boers, even if the probability of being trustworthy is only 40%.
one.
"The Bureau is going to expand the number of commandos. What do you think?" Henry finally asked this question. Even if Henry didn't ask, Rock would find a way to bring the topic in this direction.
"From my standpoint, I definitely hope to hire more police from Huayong Camp. The performance of the Chinese police is obvious to all. They are loyal, hard-working, and skilled in business. They have no interest in the local Boers. It's a pity that I said so.
No, now that we are expanding the size of the commando team, we can only choose Indians and Boers. Even if we put all the Chinese policemen into the commando team, there will only be 30 people. What can we do with this scale?" Rock said.
It is best for Henry to bring up the matter of sensual and private goods. Roque can't talk about it. If he does, he will be suspected.
"It's too far to hire from Huayong Camp." Henry didn't hate the Chinese police, he just found them troublesome. Huayong Camp was stationed in Weihai in the Qing Dynasty, which was too far from Cape Town.
"Distance is not a problem. The Huayongs of the Huayong Camp have all gone through preliminary training in the Huayong Camp. There are no problems with their personal technical and tactical movements. The only problem is the cost. From Qing Dynasty to Cape, the ferry ticket is the main problem.
"Rock doesn't worry about anything else, he only worries about the cost. Anton and the others are not even willing to drink a glass of beer now, they just want to bring their family to Cape Town as soon as possible.
"Expenses? What's the problem with expenses? Rock, you may not know yet, as long as they are immigrants who immigrate to Cape Town, the Governor's Palace will bear all the expenses." Henry provided a piece of news that stunned Rock.
"The Governor's Palace bears all the expenses?" Roque couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen these days!
"Hahahaha, yes, you can't believe it. The Governor's Palace bears all the expenses. As long as someone is willing to immigrate to Cape Town, the Governor's Palace will reimburse all immigration expenses. This rule has been implemented ten years ago." Henry seemed to be happy to laugh.
Rock, although Rock didn't find it funny.
This is the asymmetry of information. The Cape Colony does have this provision. Even not just the Cape Colony. About thirty years ago, in Australia, New Zealand, and even Canada, the local colonial governments had regulations to attract immigrants.
According to this regulation, as long as someone is willing to immigrate, no matter where he comes from, the colonial government will reimburse the immigration expenses.
The crux of the problem is that many people don't know about this provision, especially for the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty. They never imagined that white people would spend such a large amount of money in order to attract immigrants.
This news is so important. As long as the cost of the ferry ticket is paid, there will no longer be any obstacles for Anton and his family to immigrate to Cape Town. Unlike Roark who settled in Mill Street, Anton and his family do not want to spend money on buying a house.
Instead, he plans to buy a farm on the outskirts of Cape Town.
Compared with buying a house, buying a farm is too simple. Due to the outbreak of the war, the British army on the front line was at a disadvantage. Farms are now the least valuable. A farm with 1,500 acres only costs less than 200 pounds.
Of course, for Anton and others, 200 pounds is not a small number, and it will take several years to save it bit by bit from salary.
