The Cape Town Immigration Office is located on Walter Street next to the pier. New immigrants can quickly go through the naturalization procedures when they land, and then they can become official Capetonians. Compared with the troublesome immigration procedures of later generations, the procedure is shockingly simple.
.
It only took ten minutes for Rock to complete all the registrations and officially become a Capetonian.
After naturalization, the most direct benefit is that according to the regulations of the Cape Town Police Department, Rock's monthly salary will increase to five pounds from next month. Although this is still twice as little as the British, it is still the same as before.
Compared with the monthly salary of 1.2 pounds, it is a huge difference.
"Rock, can I become a Cape Town citizen?" Rock didn't persuade Anton, but he succeeded in swaying Kunal. Most of the Indian policemen have become Cape Townans, and Indians are not as strong as Chinese.
of rural sentiment.
This is a fact. India and the Republic of China in the 21st century are the two most populous countries in the world. Both countries have a large number of students studying abroad. The difference is that many Chinese will choose to return to their country to work after completing their studies.
Once Indians go abroad, they will try their best to break away from any relationship with India.
The same goes for the Chinese and Indians in Cape Town. Many Chinese just need to work as police officers to earn money and will return to the Qing Dynasty in the future. But few Indian policemen want to return to India. Many of them have become Cape Town police officers.
of permanent residents.
"Cape Town is not a country and has no nationality. I just registered as a permanent resident of Cape Town and have the qualifications to settle down in Cape Town. If you want to do so, of course you can." When not angry,
Roque is still very kind, and he is willing to help with Kunal's problem. After all, they are colleagues, and there is no deep hatred between them.
Pooh!
Even if there is a deep hatred, Rock will never forget that Kunal left Rock and ran away alone when Rock needed him most, so Rock now wants to change his partner, and Li De is good, the young man is obedient and discerning.
Jin, at least when Rock encounters danger, he can safely leave his back to Li De.
"Then I will ask for leave later, and I also want to become a permanent resident of Cape Town." Kunale couldn't wait and turned around and went back to the police station to ask for leave.
This is the difference. It is also a personal matter. Roque does it by the way while working, but Kunal has to ask for leave alone.
It can be said that Roque does not distinguish between public and private affairs, but in Cape Town, where the police force is becoming increasingly tense, every police force is very important. It can be done in ten minutes, but he has to spend a whole day alone, really acting like a superior.
Out of sight and out of control? Many times, people are sentenced to "death" unknowingly like this. Rock can guarantee that if Kunale goes to ask for leave, Kunale will never be able to get ahead in the Cape Town Police Department.
Of course, Roark will not remind Kunal that if he asks for leave, he can ask for leave. Roark can apply for a new partner. Anyway, the British assign an Indian policeman to every Chinese police officer just to facilitate communication, and Roark's English is not good at all.
problem, there will naturally be no communication barriers.
Back at the police station, Kunal went to ask for leave, and Rock also went to Henry Matilda to see if he could apply for a new partner.
Henry Matilda was receiving a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes in the office. With Roque's rich experience in dealing with foreigners, he could barely tell that the woman was speaking Italian, but Roque didn't speak Italian either, so
Can't be of much help.
"God, can you send someone to help me and tell me what this person is talking about-" Henry Matilda was already desperate. Cape Town was not so luxurious as to equip the police station with Italian translators, or even the entire Cape Town.
Very few people in London understand Italian.
Italian is a Latin language, and English is a Germanic language, so they are very different. They are fundamentally different. There are dozens of languages in more than a dozen countries in Western Europe. Even English is divided into British and American, so language is the influence.
An important factor in people's communication.
"Hello, can you use other languages? For example, English or French?" Roque tried to communicate with the woman. Thanks to his previous foreign trade experience, Roque can at least say hello to people in several major languages. This is a professional
Practiced.
"Locke, can you understand what she is saying?" Henry Matilda was very surprised. As a well-informed Englishman, Henry Matilda didn't even know what the woman was talking about, but Locke did.
Being able to stumble and greet women subverted Henry Matilda's perception of Chinese Americans.
Of course, Henry Matilda's so-called "well-informed" is only a relative term. For most Chinese, Henry Matilda can be considered well-informed, but for Roque,
Henry Matilda's exposure is similar to that of a country bumpkin. According to statistics, in the Internet age, the frequency with which people receive information is that one day is equivalent to one year of the ancients. Therefore, Henry Matilda's little knowledge is not as good as Roque's.
It's really nothing here.
"A little, that's all I can do." Rock was helpless. If the woman didn't know other languages, there was nothing Rock could do.
"Great, finally someone can understand what I'm saying. Don't you have an Italian translator in your police station?" The woman also breathed a sigh of relief, and said the last sentence in French.
Compared with Italian, French is much simpler. Henry Matilda immediately became furious: "You know French? Then why don't you use French?"
"You didn't ask." The woman was angry, obviously not caring about Henry Matilda, a little police chief.
"F***!" Henry Matilda mouthed silently without cursing. Women who can show up in public these days are not ordinary people. You can tell by the clothes this woman is wearing that she must be from a well-off family.
Yes, Henry Matilda couldn't afford to offend those noble people.
"Sergeant, I want to take a whole day off, and I also want to become a Cape Town citizen." Kunale finally found an opportunity and immediately made the request.
"Get out! Who told you that Cape Town is a country? Do you need a whole day to do something that can be done in ten minutes? Since you want to rest so much, then go guard the warehouse and disappear from my presence immediately.
." Henry Matilda finally found a punching bag. He deserved the misfortune of this short-sighted guy Kunale. Henry Matilda was angry and couldn't afford to offend the noble lady, so she took out her anger on Kunale.
The violent spray that covered his head and face directly knocked out poor Kunal. The patrolman at least had a chance to make money. The warehouse manager was basically locked up, and reselling supplies would be shot. The British never did this in this regard.
