When he was in Cape Town, Roque left a deep impression on Alfred Milner, so the reason why Roque came to Pretoria was Alfred Milner's hand-picked choice.<
/p>
It now appears that Roque did not embarrass the Transvaal Provisional Government.
Of course, the expeditionary force also wanted to lose face, so Alfred Milner no longer struggled with this issue.
"Inspector Locke, if you take over this case now, is it possible to solve it?" Alfred Milner wanted to take the overall situation into consideration, and this question immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In fact, Rock wanted to refuse.
But when Rock saw the expectant looks in Alfred Milner and Henry's eyes, Rock's heart immediately surged with great ambition.
"Although the scene has been completely destroyed, I think it is still possible to find the guerrillas." Rock did not exaggerate. Although the guerrillas' whereabouts were erratic, they still had to "attack" after all, so they had to find the guerrillas.
It's not difficult, but what's difficult is how to destroy the guerrillas.
"What are you going to do?" Alfred Milner was extremely curious. If what Rock stated was true, the scene had been completely destroyed. Alfred Milner asked himself, there was nothing he could do.
Rock thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "There are many gold mines in Johannesburg. The Summerfield Gold Mine is not the largest, nor does it produce the most gold. However, the guerrillas chose the Summerfield Gold Mine. The motivation of the guerrillas
It is very doubtful - my men found the financial personnel of the Summerfield Gold Mine. According to their account, the Summerfield Gold Mine will send the mined gold to Cape Town for sale every half month. According to
As usual, yesterday, the day after the attack, was the day when the gold was to be sent to Cape Town, so we have every reason to suspect that the guerrillas had internal spies in the Summerfield gold mine."
Oh——
Everyone had a profound realization, except Norman Theresa who looked remorseful.
Also, soldiers are better at frontal combat, investigating cases, etc., but we still have to rely on the police. To do this, the police are the most professional.
"So Colonel Norman, how did you investigate?" Alfred Milner did not let Norman Theresa go. Everyone hates this kind of person, even if Alfred Milner doesn't care, Kitchener
I won’t let him go either.
"I - I transported the remaining materials from the gold mine back to the camp. Next, I plan to analyze the guerrillas' supply situation through these remaining materials to see what the guerrillas took away and what they left behind, so that we can
Knowing what the guerrillas lack may be more helpful for us in destroying the guerrillas." Unexpectedly, Norman Theresa was not as stupid as he looked.
Also, how can a person who can be a colonel be a fool? Norman Theresa was caught off guard by Rock, so he was at a loss.
Kitchina's face immediately looked better. This was a good reason, and he could barely explain it.
Roque remained calm. It was Norman Theresa who initiated this incident. Roque did not intend to form a deadly feud with the military. He just wanted to teach Norman Theresa a lesson. Everyone can
It’s best to pass.
Of course, if someone cannot pass the test, Roque will have nothing to say. When Norman Theresa complained, he should have thought that Roque would have a backup plan.
Are you kidding me, how can I become a senior inspector without a pair of brushes?
"Go, Inspector, find them as quickly as possible." Alfred Milner decided. The Governor's inauguration ceremony was about to begin, but the guerrillas chose this time to launch an attack. This was a slap in the face for Hong Guoguo. Yu Qing
For no reason, Alfred Milner would not allow those guerrillas to continue to be arrogant.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor." Even if Roque is not sure, he still needs to show confidence now. If Roque shrinks at this time, he will lose the face of Alfred Milner and the provisional government. p>
The guerrillas finally have to face each other head-on.

Rock felt that he had to spend most of his time on the railway every day. Fortunately, the telephone line between Pretoria and Johannesburg would be restored soon, otherwise Rock would really have to consider continuing to find the owner of the mine to beg for help.
A highway will be built between Toria and Johannesburg.
In fact, it is useless to have highways. The automobile industry these days is still in its primitive stage, with ugly appearance and backward technology. It may break down at any time when using it. Therefore, drivers these days must not only be good at driving, but also be good at maintenance.
, so training drivers is a difficult technical job, much more difficult than mining.
Back in Pretoria, Roque still stayed at the Jinshan Hotel.
Now the police station has booked the entire Jinshan Hotel, and even the door of the Jinshan Hotel has a police station sign. Before the Johannesburg Police Station was built, the Jinshan Hotel was Rock's base camp.
"There are a total of 21 gold mines in operation around Johannesburg, and more than a dozen gold mines are preparing to resume operations. We have raised a total of 27,000 pounds, which is more than enough to build a police station. Those gold mines that are about to resume operations will
The mine, as well as the gold mine to be auctioned by the Bureau of Mines, will also provide us with a steady stream of funds. Even with the current scale of funds, it is estimated that after the construction of the police station is completed, there will still be 12,000 left in your account.
Pounds." Scarlett is now Rock's personal accountant.
Scarlett is the accountant that Rock asked from Ada. She was born into a wealthy Boer family. Not only does she have a farm near Cape Town, but she also has a diamond mine in Kimberley, so Scarlett has a chance.
Went to the UK to study and graduated from the famous University College London.
Yes, it is the University College London where both Gandhi and Buck attended. It is also the only higher education institution in the UK that does not accept race, religion or politics in its admissions.
After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Scarlett's father was shot by the Cape Colonial Government for sympathizing with the Boers and providing funds to the Boer Allied Forces. Scarlett's mother and brother and sister also committed suicide one after another. Scarlett was also abandoned by her husband.
But because Scarlett worked at the Imperial Bank, Scarlett escaped.
But in the end, Scarlett was thrown into a refugee camp by the Cape colonial government.
"So many are left?" Rock was a little surprised. According to Henry's estimate, it would cost about 20,000 pounds to build the Johannesburg police station. This was a budget based on the size of the Pretoria police station. Unexpectedly, when he came to Rock,
It only costs fifteen thousand pounds.
"This is the budget given by Mr. Christian." Scarlett was a bit slovenly, her hair was simply tied up. Although it was not disheveled, it was still a bit disheveled. Although the room used by Rock as the director's office was brightly lit,
It can be clearly seen that Scarlett's skin quality is not very good, dull, and she has no makeup——
This is actually very rude behavior.

Why do some brothers think that the "haha" at the end of the last chapter is Yutou making fun of the group? If Yutou dares to laugh at the brothers, don't the brothers feel that way——
