Chapter 85 The City of Cowards

In fact, the most important thing is not the region, but the people. As long as people are hardworking and capable, deserts can be turned into forests. Saihanba is the best example.

Speaking of deserts, I have to admit that some people are so awesome and can surprise you anytime and anywhere. Before those people in Saihanba became famous, everyone’s understanding of land desertification was “irreversible”, that is to say

Once the land becomes desertified, it is impossible to restore it to its original state.

Saihanba people have slapped those experts in the face with their actions. Land desertification is indeed "irreversible" for those experts in the office, but for those who persist, the experts' faces are just for slaps.

, Saihanba people use actions to tell the world that "fighting heaven and earth" is really more than just a slogan.

In fact, Rock is also very good at shouting slogans. The key is that the slogans Rock shouted and the pie he drew are gradually becoming reality.

This is very convincing!

"In fact, there are many farms in the suburbs of Cape Town. In the past, many farms were owned by the Boers. The British were not interested in farms. The only things that aroused the British interest were gold and diamonds. After the Boer War broke out, many of the farms in Cape Town

The Boers went to the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State to join the Boer coalition and fight against the British. The families of these people were imprisoned in refugee camps, and their farms were in a state of abandonment. Now is a good opportunity to take action. Many of them

The Boers in the refugee camp must be very willing to turn their abandoned farms into money to make their lives better." Rock is on his way to Stellenbosch, which is the scenery of the 21st century.

The area is now a Boer refugee camp, and Rahul was sent to Stellenbosch.

Many people may not know that Stellenbosch means "cowards who were transferred from important positions". The British threw soldiers who performed poorly on the battlefield to Stellenbosch to reflect, so Stellenbosch

Sri Lanka is also known as the "City of Cowards".

In the 21st century, Stellenbosch is famous for its wine. The vineyards here have a history of hundreds of years. At first, a group of French people came here. They crossed the ocean and came to Cape. The Dutch colonists at that time allowed them

They chose a no-man's land to live in, so they came to Stellenbosch. At that time, it was not called "Stellenbosch" because it was surrounded by mountains on both sides and the valley in the middle was an open sandy land.

It was very much like their French hometown of Provence, so they built this town.

Although the native people of Stellenbosch were once French, they are now considered Boers by the Cape Colonial Government, so after the war broke out, Stellenbosch became a refugee camp for the Boers.

The name "City of Cowards" is indeed very unpleasant, so Stellenbosch is also called "City of Oaks". When the French planted vineyards, they also planted a large number of oak trees. They initially used oak trees as grapes.

Later, oak trees gradually became the unique scenery of Stellenbosch. As Rock and Anton walked along, the roads were also lined with oak trees. In March, the Cape is in autumn, and the oak leaves have begun to turn red.

, the oak trees here can grow up to 30 meters high. From a distance, they look like a group of torches. Countless torches gathered together are really beautiful.

"It's all good land, what a waste." In Anton's simple values, he didn't understand why the Boers didn't grow food on such good land, but planted grapes.

It is indeed good, but it is indeed a waste. Because the Boers were imprisoned in refugee camps, many vineyards are in a state of abandonment. Ripe grapes hang heavily on the branches without being picked. Some grapes have naturally fallen off, rotten and smelly, and are infested with mosquitoes and flies.

Fei, if this were in the Qing Dynasty, those old people would scold their mothers if they saw it.

In some vineyards, there were people working, all dressed as Boer women. There were uniformed policemen supervising them. Rock knew that they should be Rahul's men.

"Bring Christian here another day and ask him to come forward to find those owners who are willing to transfer the vineyards. They are all Boers, so communication should be easier." Roque came just to see the situation. If he wanted to buy, Christian would still have to come forward.

If Rock comes forward, it is estimated that the Boers may not be willing to sell to Rock. After all, Rock does not want to be a villain.

If Roark wants to force the purchase by virtue of his status as an inspector, then I believe Roark can also buy it.

But Roque can't do that. The British are in power now, but sooner or later the Cape will be autonomous. By then the people in the Cape will all be Boers, so if possible, Roque still wants to have a good relationship with the Boers, which will be more beneficial to the Chinese.

Survival on the Cape.

As for the killing of Joubert, this will not become an issue between the Chinese and the Boers. During the war, anything can happen. Everyone has his own master. If you die in battle, you can only say that your skills are inferior to others. There are also Chinese policemen who are fighting in the war.

Sacrifice, rational people will not pursue these.

As for those irrational people, it doesn't matter. The British were very cruel to the Boers. Those who deserved to be killed were killed, and those who were not guilty of death were exiled to India and Ceylon. After the war, it is hard to say how many Boers will be left.

Crocker wanted to have a good relationship with the Boers in the Cape, but not with the Boers in the Transvaal. Why did the Boers in the Transvaal hate Rock and have anything to do with Rock?

Dead people cannot speak.

"Head, over there" Anton raised his hand to signal to Rock.

Rock looked in the direction indicated by Anton. An Indian policeman wearing a turban was dragging a Boer woman into the woods. The Boer woman was begging and struggling. The Indian policeman was laughing in the sky.

The Boers remained silent, and the police around them turned a blind eye.

"Your sister" Rock tightened the riding crop in his hand, and the sun drove Rock away wildly.

The current "Sun" is another purebred horse. The previous "Sun" was requisitioned by the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. Although the current "Sun" is a pure black purebred horse, Rock still calls it "Sun" willfully.

, it’s not like there is no black sun, the Tengu eclipses the sun.

"Please don't do this, my child is here too, I can't let her see this, please," the Boer woman begged, almost sitting on the ground, but she was still no match for the man's strength, and was pulled and staggered.

"Be honest and obedient. I'll give you an extra piece of milk today. Others want it, but I won't give it to you." The big turban looked up to the sky and laughed. She was actually a breastfeeding woman.

The sun rushed to the side of the turban, and Rock raised his riding crop and slapped the turban's shocked face hard.

Rock never showed any mercy towards such people. Rock wished he could have been kicked to death by the sun.
