It would be more appropriate for Henry to propose hiring more Chinese policemen from Huayong Camp.
No matter what, Henry is the serious commando captain. Roark, the deputy captain, is soft-spoken and Chinese. It is inappropriate to express opinions on this issue. But Henry does not have this problem. Roark and other Chinese policemen have already
He has proved his loyalty with naturalization and his value with his strength. Moreover, the Chinese population in the entire Cape Colony is sparse, and more Chinese immigrants to Cape Town have to cling to the lap of the British if they want to live. Believe in the British
People can see this.
"I will make this suggestion to the inspector, but the result is not guaranteed, you should understand." Henry agreed to make the suggestion, but was not optimistic about it.
Even though the Chinese police have many advantages, it is still the British who make the decision.
In fact, Rock can understand that when the British consider this issue, they will consider it more comprehensively and will not all proceed according to Rock's ideas. For example, after Sharma was sent to Robben Island, the position of police chief became vacant, and the British also
Instead of promoting better-performing Chinese police officers to become sergeants, the newly promoted sergeants are still Indians.
This is the balance of power. In order to ensure the loyalty of the Chinese police, the British will even suppress the Chinese police appropriately. If it were Rock, Rock would do the same.
Killing Sharma did not usher in a more relaxed living space for Rock. There are nearly 20 sergeants in the Cape Town Police Department, more than half of whom are of Indian origin. Killing one Sharma will not change this status quo.
On the contrary, because of the deterioration of his relationship with Sharma, Roark became the target of public criticism. Therefore, Roark still had to be careful and not give others the advantage easily.
After leaving Henry's office, Rock immediately went to Anton and told Anton the good news that the ferry ticket was reimbursed.
"Reimbursement? Really?" Anton couldn't believe it either.
"Really, hurry up and bring your family to Cape Town. God knows when the British will cancel this policy." Roque was more anxious than Anton. This policy is temporary and will definitely be canceled in the future.
Regarding immigration, the British did have regulations in this regard in order to enrich their colonies around the world. However, the news Henry told Rock was that Australia and Canada have now canceled this preferential policy to attract immigrants. The Cape Colony
It will definitely be canceled in the future, so hurry up.
Cape Town is far away from the Qing Dynasty. Even if Anton immediately sent a telegram to the Huayong Camp in Weihai of the Qing Dynasty, hoping to immigrate his family to Cape Town as soon as possible, it would still take about the same amount of time to take the fastest merchant ship from the Qing Dynasty to Cape Town.
One month, not to mention that Anton and his family will not board the ship immediately after receiving the telegram. There is always a decision-making process, so it will take time for Anton and his family to be reunited.
"I'll send a telegram right away." Anton made up his mind. Sending a telegram is of course not free, but Anton doesn't care about the money now.
By the way, after bringing down Sharma, Rock also realized that the Chinese policemen's desire for money is endless, so Rock decided to continue the business of setting up traps, but the method must be improved, and he cannot continue to do so.
The Chinese will come forward. When Luo Yi gets better in two days, Luo Yi will teach Di Rang the relevant techniques. When Di Rang comes to set up a trap, Luo Yi and the others will assist. Even if the Indian police chief repeats the same trick, he will not be relied on.
On to Rock.
"Let's go, let's help you design a new image to make you look more like a Capetonian." Rock put on the custom-made suit just sent by the tailor, giving him a new look from head to toe.
Nearly ten pounds is indeed worth the money. The brand-new tuxedo is straight and crisp, the shiny leather shoes can illuminate the silhouette of the person, and the gold watch chain across the chest is blinding. Roque still carries a gun, which is not obvious hidden under the tuxedo.
, put on the top hat and picked up the cane. From the back, Rock is an authentic British gentleman.
"You" Anton looked at Rock's new outfit and said "you" for a long time without you saying anything.
There is a saying that "people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold." A set of decent clothes can indeed change a person's overall image.
Luo Ke's capital is quite good. He is 1.80 meters tall and has an angular appearance. Because he has been practicing martial arts for many years, Luo Ke's body is very strong. In the jargon, he is a standard "clothes rack". In addition, Luo Ke's standing
He always raises his chest, raises his head, tightens his abdomen and raises his hips. Even many British people cannot do this, unless they are descendants of nobles who have received strict etiquette training since childhood. Anton has seen too many times when Rock wears a police uniform.
, at first glance, the most immediate feeling is that Rock is inappropriate when he is dressed in such a suit.
Yes, it's inappropriate. In Anton's opinion, Roque's clothes are a bit out of line. In Cape Town, only upper-class people with a certain status would wear this kind of clothes. Roque is a policeman, and he wears this kind of clothes.
The clothes don't seem to fit very well.
"There is nothing inappropriate. There is no rule in Cape Town that Chinese people cannot wear formal clothes. Again, if you want others to think highly of you, you must first not see yourself clearly. We Chinese are no worse than anyone else, and the police are also serious professionals. If we
We consider ourselves inferior, so why should we let foreigners look at us seriously?" Roque had to subtly instill correct ideas into Anton at any time and at any time, so that Anton could realize it on his own, or he might not be able to realize it in his lifetime.
"So, we all have to dress like this from now on?" Anton doesn't dislike the clothes because they don't look good, but because they think they are expensive. Roque ordered these clothes with Anton, and Anton knew how much Roque's clothes cost.
money.
"You don't have to dress like this, but if you don't dress appropriately, don't let foreigners look at you seriously." Roque is not forced. If you want to get ahead, of course you have to spend some money. Roque also has insufficient capital now and cannot afford to provide all the Chinese.
The police wore such an outfit, otherwise Rock wouldn't be stingy.
As long as things can be solved with money, it doesn't matter to Rock.
"Didn't you order two sets? Lend me one to try." Anton did not regard Roque as an outsider, gritted his teeth and swallowed, and decided to follow Roque's pace.
It would be impossible not to follow closely. When they were in the Huayong camp, Anton and Roque were both corporals. Because Roque was taciturn, Anton had a higher prestige in the Huayong camp. He had only been in Cape Town for a few months.
When they arrived in Cape Town, everyone was the same patrolman, but now there is a clear gap between Roque and Anton, which fully proves that Roque is right.
If we don't keep up with Rock's pace, I'm afraid the gap between Anton and Rock will become wider and wider, and they will become people from two different worlds.
