127 The villain

 Do you remember the black butler in "Saving Django"?

Mahatma Gandhi played such a role in the Cape.

The so-called "non-violent non-cooperation" is essentially the greatest tribute to the British colonial order.

What Gandhi fought for was not national liberation, but the recognition of the colonial government, that is: Gandhi was also from a high caste and was qualified to be on an equal footing with the British. The British should work with the high castes to treat low castes and other people of color.

kind of implementation of rule.

In fact, Gandhi's surname is not very noble. Gandhi's surname is a third-level Vaishya, belonging to the Baniya caste. "Gandhi" means food merchant. Because he has been in business for generations, Gandhi's family is wealthy. His father Karamchan

De Gandhi had been the Prime Minister of a princely state, otherwise Gandhi would not have been qualified to study in London.

As a defender of the caste system and the British colonial order, Gandhi did have enough reasons to look down on Rock. Probably in Gandhi's view, Rock was no different from other Chinese in the Qing Dynasty.

Yes, after all, in the propaganda of the expeditionary force headquarters, Joubert was shot to death by Henry.

Unlike Gandhi, who was good at being warm-hearted and cold-hearted, Rock would not get used to Gandhi's bad habits. When he discovered the contempt in Gandhi's eyes, Rock casually called Tang En over and pointed at Gandhi. Tang En immediately walked over with a grin and said

Gandhi went to a street corner to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"I know this guy. This guy calls for improving the social status of Indians, but agrees to restrict other ethnic groups from entering the Cape, such as you Chinese-" Henry waited for Tang En to drag Gandhi away before coming over, and he didn't seem to like him very much.

This guy.

In 1894, in response to the large number of Indian immigrants coming to Natal, the Cape Colonial Government passed the "Amendment of Citizenship Laws", restricting Indians with harsh conditions and expanding the scope of racial discrimination.

Well, I guess Chinese people are also within the restricted range.

But this news also means that there are Chinese in Cape?

"There must be, aren't you Chinese?" Henry didn't take it seriously.

Luo Ke immediately turned black.

"Okay, okay, no joke, there are Chinese in Johannesburg. They were the former gold mine owners. They hired some Chinese as miners. I only know that there are, but I don't know how many there are. You also know that this used to be the Trans

The territory of the Republic of Wa." Henry said seriously, this is also the news that Henry just learned.

Johannesburg!

Roque wished he could fly over with wings right now.

Speaking of the Chinese in the Cape, it has been a long time. During the Boer rule, the Dutch exiled the "prisoners" from Batavia (today's Jakarta, Indonesia) to the Cape of Good Hope, including a small number of Chinese.

.

In 1882, with the development of the Rand Gold Mine, the Cape was seriously short of miners, so the "De Beers Unified Mining Company" negotiated with the Qing government to recruit Chinese workers and entered into a contract to recruit Chinese workers in China.

The boss of De Beers Consolidated Mining Company is Cecil Rhodes, the former Prime Minister of the Cape Colony.

After these Chinese workers came to Cape, they were used to develop the Rand Gold Mine. They had never left Johannesburg, so this was the first time that Rock knew that there were Chinese in Cape.

"What does this guy do?" Joe Russell didn't care if there were any Chinese in the Cape, and his disgust for Gandhi was palpable.

"A lawyer who is not very good at professional skills is said to be an Indian aristocrat, so he also wants to get corresponding courtesy. However, the British Empire does not recognize the Indian aristocratic system, so - he is a guy who was born at the wrong time." Henry

I don’t care much about Gandhi either.

In fact, Rock wants to say, do you know who he is?

Do you know how hard he works?

Do you know how much he paid to make Indians obedient subjects of the British Empire?

Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?

It's a pity that Rock can't say this.

As Henry said, Gandhi was indeed born at the wrong time.

In other words, it is "talented but not appreciated".

Among the British, no one knows Gandhi's contribution.

Among Indians, Gandhi's ideals are not understood.

The most ironic thing is that in 1948, Gandhi was shot to death by a true believer in Hinduism.

Speaking of being born at the wrong time, Rock suddenly remembered Gandhi's political philosophy: "Actually, his political philosophy is quite good. He advocates non-violence. We can let him have more contact with these Boers and see if he can gain anything.

——"

What a sinister guy!

"Ah——" Henry and Joe Russell were confused again.

"Try it -" Rock didn't quite believe that Gandhi could turn these Boers into obedient people.

But it doesn't matter even if it doesn't succeed, there is no loss for Rock anyway.

Then try it.

Tang En is indeed a good player. When Tang En brought Gandhi back, there were no scars on Gandhi's face, but the look he looked at Tang En was filled with hatred.

But when he saw Henry, Gandhi immediately forgot the pain that Tang En had imposed on him.

"Okay, I will try my best!" Gandhi did not resist Henry's request at all.

After all, Henry is also the chief of police in Pretoria, and his status is countless levels higher than Gandhi's. What's more, Henry is a true noble.

A guy like Rock, who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, is not interested in Henry's identity, but Gandhi suffered for a long time——

With Henry's consent, Gandhi waved his hand and immediately led more than a hundred members of the Indian Ambulance Corps to take over the work of the police and the soldiers of the Third West Yorkshire Regiment.

These Indians are indeed very diligent, and their attitude towards the Boers is completely different from that of the police and soldiers.

The police and soldiers had no patience with the Boers, and they would push, insult, scold, and even beat them at every turn. Therefore, the crying and whining at the scene just now was so loud that Rock couldn't bear it.

These Indians not only helped the Boers pack their things, but also helped the old and young to maintain order. Their attitude was in sharp contrast to the rough police and soldiers just now.

These poor Boers immediately felt the kindness of these Indians. In fact, they also knew that being thrown into the concentration camp was inevitable. They just instinctively resisted and delayed, hoping to postpone the time of being thrown into the concentration camp.

But seeing the rudeness of the police and soldiers just now, and now facing these relatively friendly Indians, they subconsciously speeded up, not wanting to give the police and soldiers a chance to show up again.

Then the atmosphere immediately became peaceful——

Henry and Joe Russo continue to be confused.

Rock felt bad, why did he feel like KMT and Pla, and he also became a villain, non-violent and non-cooperative——

Is it really that powerful?!!!
