Under normal circumstances, the management of Ziwei Town does not interfere with the residents' beliefs. The current religion is different from the previous religion, and its influence on the secular world is getting smaller and smaller, so Rock really doesn't care about Frank's threat.
Compared to the anxious Frank, the Protestant side is as stable as a rock. They are certainly not stupid enough to refuse Rock's wedding in a Protestant church. Objectively speaking, the Protestant church is grander and more glorious than Frank's church. No wonder Frank is anxious.
.
The Protestant church can accommodate 150 people for mass at the same time, but Frank's church can only accommodate about 100 people at most. This also proves the strength of the church from another aspect. The church is the largest single building in the entire Ziwei Town.
However, after the medical school was completed, these two churches were no longer so conspicuous. Any building in the medical school was far larger than the two churches.
Before the wedding, what Rock was most worried about happened. As the relationship between the Natal Zulu and the government became increasingly tense, the Zulu finally broke out in rebellion and demanded that the Natal government rule.
own country.
Of course, the Natal government would not agree, so it reported to London and requested that the Zulus in Natal be suppressed by force.
At this time, the harm of being remotely controlled by London was shown. London failed to respond to the Natal government's request in time and did not agree to use force to suppress the Zulu rebellion in Natal until the third day. By this time, the Zulu rebellion was already over.
A full week has passed, and the number of Zulus participating in the rebellion has increased from less than 10,000 at the beginning to more than 100,000. Even the Zulus in the Johannesburg gold mines began to riot.
"Locke, the Governor has agreed to transfer the Northern Rhodesian Division to Natal to participate in the counter-insurgency. You still have to stabilize the situation and not allow the miners in Johannesburg to participate in the rebellion in Natal." Philip said before the wedding.
One day I found Rock in a hurry.
"No problem, the Northern Rhodesian Division is ready and can go to Natal at any time. I have ruled the Mining Alliance to take strict precautions and dispatch commandos and detective teams into the mines to help maintain security. All mines are now
Everything has been sealed, and no one is allowed to come in and out at will, and all external sources of information are cut off. Even if there is a riot among the miners, we are capable of stabilizing the situation." Roque was not distracted by the wedding and was fully prepared for Johannesburg and Natal.
The importance is different. Natal can be chaotic, but Johannesburg must not be chaotic.
Johannesburg's gold is very important for London to maintain its status as the world's financial center. The gold mine is London's last bottom line. Even if the Transvaal becomes autonomous in the future, Johannesburg's gold will still have to be shipped to London. Therefore, Roark also has a heavy responsibility. The current garrison in Johannesburg
Already heading to Natal, the importance of the police station has become increasingly prominent.
At this time, Rock will definitely go all out. Not only has the police station canceled all vacations, but the security guards of Rock Gold Mine have also been gathered by Rock, ready to be dispatched at any time to suppress miners in other gold mines.
The mining alliance also plays an important role. In the past, gold mines were scattered and worked independently. With the mining alliance, mine owners can communicate with each other and support each other. Rock can also integrate resources through the mining alliance. Don’t underestimate these.
The security team in the hands of the mine owner. In any mine, there are hundreds of thugs and security guards. When these forces are integrated, the energy cannot be underestimated.
"It's such an eventful time. Let's make tomorrow's wedding as simple as possible. The Governor will definitely not be able to come, and Henry will have to stay in Pretoria to maintain order. What a bastard." Philip couldn't help it. It was such a perfect wedding.
, but it happened to be messed up by the Zulu people of Natal.
Roque was not too angry. Weddings are just a procedure. Although every woman hopes to have a perfect wedding, accidents are a part of life.
What's more, there are actually some things that Rock doesn't dare to say. The Zulu people in Natal are demanding the establishment of an independent country. This is actually a good thing in Rock's view. It is a good opportunity to get rid of the threat of the Zulus in the future. If Rock is in power,
Rock would not hesitate to agree to the establishment of a Zulu nation, and would take this opportunity to give all the Zulus to Natal, even if he was willing to give a certain degree of compensation to the Zulus in Natal.
It's a pity that Rock didn't care, so even though he knew this was a good opportunity, Rock still wanted to participate in the suppression of the Zulus according to London and Ade's wishes.
Speaking of repression, I have to mention the attitude of the African-American police officers towards Natal in the Johannesburg police station.
When the Natal government shot several Zulu men who attacked the police, Roque told Yaya to pay attention to the attitude of the African-American police.
The result was beyond Roque's expectation. On this matter, the African-American police officers in the Johannesburg Police Department showed a clear stance. They all stood with the Natal government and supported the Natal government's decision.
It’s not too “foreign”. After all, those Zulu men were shot by the Natal government for attacking the police. This not only safeguarded the authority of the Natal police, but also involved the interests of all police in southern Africa.
According to British legal tradition, after the Natal government shot those Zulus, in the future, as long as a Zulus dares to attack the police in southern Africa, no matter what the reason, all judges will follow the Natal case.
, severely punish those involved.
The same goes for the Transvaal.
On the eve of the wedding, Rock returned to Ziwei Town early.
Ziwei Town has not been affected by Natal and has become a sea of joy. All residents spontaneously hung up festive red lanterns in front of their doors, and the gold mine security guards and police who assisted in managing public security also put on red lanterns.
With brand new uniforms, all the bars in Ziwei Town were full. Many people rushed to Ziwei Town from Cape Town and Pretoria to attend Rock's wedding. Rock had packed up all the hotels in Ziwei Town early.
Reserve it for these friends who come from afar to stay.
The Baron's Mansion has also been renovated inside and out. After Anna's training, the servants of the Baron's Mansion have become more presentable. They are now waiting for the arrival of the mistress with the greatest enthusiasm.
Like Henry's wedding, Rock's wedding also had six groomsmen. Rock didn't care about this. All six groomsmen were policemen from the Johannesburg Police Station. It was only then that Rock discovered that in the Johannesburg Police Station, 100% of the groomsmen were policemen.
More than 80 policemen are already married, and most of their wives are Boers. Only those who marry later have the opportunity to marry Chinese wives.
This can be considered a good thing. Roque now cares less and less about the "blood theory". He wants to marry Phyllis as his wife, and he has no position to ask others. This is actually very beneficial to the Chinese people's integration into Johannesburg. It won't take long. Wait for the second
If a Chinese is born, the Chinese will become an integral part of Johannesburg.
Of course, in order to better ensure the centripetal force of the Chinese, necessary education is still indispensable. There are now many dual-income families in Johannesburg. Many police wives are nurses at Ziwei Hospital. In order to train nurses, Ziwei Hospital also
A lot of capital is spent. After these nurses get married and have children, they are forced to stay at home to take care of the children and cannot take care of work. This is actually a huge waste.
In order to change this situation, nurseries and kindergartens have of course emerged. Ziwei Town now has four nurseries, each of which is large in size and can accommodate at least hundreds of children.
But this is not enough. With the increase in population, the demand for childcare centers in Ziwei Town is also increasing. In fact, Luo Ke does not need to worry about this aspect. As people's horizons broaden, some people will naturally discover the business opportunities in this area and then pay
Actions.
Of course, necessary guidance is still needed, so the first nursery school in Ziwei Town was established by Mrs. Barker. Even though Mrs. Barker is famously strict in educating children, most residents still trust Mrs. Barker.
, I quite approve of Mrs. Barker’s education methods.
That's right, Mrs. Buck is Chinese, and the Chinese are famous for their strict education of the next generation. In the past, at Ziwei Public School, even though many Chinese students had a poor foundation, after solving the language problem, they
The performance of Chinese students has improved rapidly. From being at the bottom when they first entered the school, to gradually being on par with white students, and then finally surpassing white students as a whole, it took Chinese students less than a year.
This is also one of the reasons why Rock wants to set up a school for miners' children. Although the teachers of Ziwei Public School can guarantee that there will be absolutely no discrimination in the school, outsiders will inevitably think about this situation in the eyes of outsiders.
Rather than letting rumors spread at that time, it is better to solve the problem before the rumors arise.
The six groomsmen arrived at the Baron's Mansion early to make preparations. They were all similar in stature to Tang En, who was the main groomsman. The smallest was over 1.8 meters tall, and the lightest weighed over 180.
Being heavy does not mean that you are fat. In fact, the six groomsmen are all extremely muscular. The wedding is actually a good opportunity to display the image of the Chinese police to all the guests through this wedding.
Unfortunately, due to the rebellion in Natal, many of Roque's brothers were unable to come to Johannesburg to attend Roque's wedding. In addition to Adelaide and Henry, Anton and Martin had to stay in Nyasaland, and Luo Yi also had to stay in Nyasaland.
While staying in Cape Town, Joe Russell came to Ziwei Town early.
"Bloemfontein is just a garbage dump. The houses are short and dilapidated, and the roads are bumpy. Compared with the Johannesburg City Hall, the Bloemfontein City Hall is just a pile of garbage. That's why they can live happily in the garbage dump.
"Hey, even if I want to build a toilet in the police station, I have to apply several times. I really want to resign. Staying in Bloemfontein is a waste of life." Joe Russell complained crazily when he saw Rock. It seemed that he was
