The Second Boer War, strictly speaking, was a war between Britain and Europe. In order to bring down the British Empire, those European countries donated money and materials to the Boer Alliance, and even directly sent troops. During the entire Boer War, the Boer Alliance
, a total of two thousand foreign volunteers have joined. No one knows whether these volunteers are "volunteers" except themselves.
Germany was the most enthusiastic in this regard. In 1871, Germany completed its unification and the German Empire was established. That year, Germany defeated France, won the Franco-Prussian War, replaced France, and became the hegemon of the European continent.
At this time, the only thing standing in front of the German Empire was the British Empire.
The Second Boer War was an important opportunity for Germany to consume British strength. Therefore, Germany's performance in the Second Boer War was very biased. Rock believed that Emily Hobhouse should also know this.
.
Although Emily Hobhouse wants more freedom, Roark has the greatest authority in Oak Town, so Emily Hobhouse can only obey Roark's decision.
It's enough. Even if the refugee camp has made great progress compared with two months ago, in the eyes of Emily Hobhouse, the refugee camp is absolutely useless and almost like hell. She has just started to contact the refugee camp.
On her first day, Emily Hobhouse found countless faults.
"Women and children have too little food every day to ensure that they receive adequate nutrition. The supply of food should be increased." Emily Hobhouse's first concern is food.
"The supply standards of things are decided by the Governor's Palace. I have no decision-making power. If you have any opinions, you can report them to the Governor's Palace, but I want to remind you, madam, that there are still many people in the UK who are in a state of food shortage." Roark Yizheng
With words, since we are hugging the British, we should hug them tighter and consider the issue completely from the perspective of the government.
"The tents are short and shabby. Winter is coming. They will freeze to death living in such a tent." Emily Hobhouse's second problem is the tent.
"The refugee camp accepts donations. Those military tents were privately donated by Ms. Cape Town in Cape Town. If you feel sorry for them, we also welcome donations from the Anglican Church. Sorry, this is a refugee camp, not a hotel. We cannot provide housekeeping services.
"Rock also wants all women and children to live in tents, but that is not realistic. Ada has tried her best to collect tents, but there are still not enough.
"And what about the women who work in the vineyards? I hear they are employed by you, and in order to get that job they have to be separated from their children." Emily Hobhouse turned the finger.
To Rock.
"Yes, they work for me, I pay them a salary, and provide their children with educational opportunities, isn't that right?" Rock is not surprised that even if Rock does a better job, there will still be people who are dissatisfied.
.
The same thing, from different angles, will lead to different answers. What Emily Hobhouse thinks is unfair is obviously not the case for the Boers in the refugee camp. "But the salary you pay is not enough to reward them for their hard work." Emily Hobhouse continued to find faults.
"Ms. Hobhouse, it may seem that way to you, but it's obvious that they don't think so, otherwise they have no need to accept the job. This is an exchange of equal value. The job is equal to the salary and the education of the children.
How much do you think the opportunity for a child to receive an education is worth?" Rock doesn't think this is an unequal exchange.
"Okay, what about those people in the quarantine area? What mistakes did they make?" Emily Hobhouse had many questions. Asking Rock face to face was just Emily Hobhouse's personal venting.
In the future, Emily Hobhouse will write all this into a report, and that will be the final blow that Emily Hobhouse prepares.
"People in the quarantine area? No, no, no, they didn't make a mistake. The reason why they were quarantined is to prevent diseases. The refugee camps are densely populated. If you don't pay attention to hygiene, diseases will become rampant, which will be an even greater disaster.
"Rock's reasons are very good and can withstand any investigation.
"Preventing disease? Thank you for finding such a good reason, then why did you confiscate their personal belongings? Will it also cause disease?" Emily Hobhouse did not give up, and Rock knew the meaning of isolation, and E.
Milly Hobhouse didn't know.
"It's not confiscated, it's just kept for them. Their clothes will be returned to them after being disinfected. As for their property, they don't have the ability to protect it now. When they leave the refugee camp, it will be returned to them."
Rock patiently explained that Emily Hobhouse had a church background, and Rock had to remain patient.
"This is just your excuse. You policemen are just here to search for property! It's disgusting. Why don't you admit it?" Emily Hobhouse thought she had caught Rock's painful foot and held on tightly.
Don’t let go at all.
"So what you're saying is that they shouldn't be quarantined? Who will be responsible if an outbreak of disease occurs?" Rock also started to get angry.
"Of course you are responsible, you are the managers of the refugee camp." Emily Hobhouse said confidently.
"Then it means that if serious consequences occur because of your suggestions, you won't be responsible for them, right?" Rock is not polite. He doesn't have much patience when dealing with troublesome guys, even if he offends the church for it.
It doesn’t matter, the Anglican Church is the Anglican Church and is very powerful in the UK, but not in the Cape. Protestantism is more popular in the Cape and the Anglican Church’s influence is slightly weaker.
"That's just a hypothesis after all. You can't ask other people to be responsible for something that hasn't happened yet." Emily Hobhouse did not agree with Rock's standards.
"Sorry, Ms. Hobhouse, please rein in your behavior. If I think your behavior affects the normal operation of the refugee camp, then you must leave here." Rock no longer talks to Emily Hobhouse.
Nonsense, this person is completely unreasonable.
It is indeed unreasonable. Now Rock finally understands why Henry said that Emily Hobhouse is "not easy to mess with". This woman is just looking for trouble, and the refugee camp itself has many problems that cannot be solved at all, so she wants to find reasons to cause trouble.
There are many. If Emily Hobhouse does not affect Rock's work, then Rock can still tolerate it. Now Emily Hobhouse's investigation has obviously affected the normal operation of the refugee camp. Rock
