In 1900, there was no concept of social welfare in the world. Even white people did not have social welfare, let alone the Zulu people.
Therefore, most of the retired Zulu scouts are now in Johannesburg. They hope to find a job to make a living after leaving the army. As for the job content, they have no choice at all.
This is definitely a good thing for alleviating the labor shortage in Johannesburg, but it is definitely not a good thing for the Johannesburg Police Department. It would be okay if those Zulu scouts can find jobs quickly, but if they cannot find jobs in a short time, then
It will cause serious social security risks.
In fact, the key depends on what those Zulu people think. If they are down-to-earth and accept the reality, it will be easy to find a job in Johannesburg.
Just be afraid, those retired scouts have become accustomed to the wanton behavior on the battlefield and do not accept the fate of digging mines. Although the British do not value those scouts, they have also learned many professional skills in the army.
What if they learn and apply those skills?
Well, Rock can only hope that the Zulu people are not smart these days, otherwise, the security situation in Johannesburg will be even more severe in the future.
In fact, the security situation in Johannesburg has become very serious. Just half a month ago, a patrol of the Welch Fusiliers was attacked by Boers while patrolling in Johannesburg.
Norman Theresa was ruthless and threw all the Boers within four blocks of the place where the attack broke out into concentration camps. All the Boer buildings in this area were also burned down. Maybe the sterling silver tableware Martin bought
From this area.
Although he knew the dangers of black people, Rock was unable to solve this problem. This was not within Rock's scope of work.
Rock can only try his best to select potential talents from retired scouts and add them to the detective team to enrich the strength of the detective team.
In fact, the Zulus of this era were quite reliable. During the Second Boer War, in order to hire Zulus to fight for the British Empire, the British did not even spend a penny and only promised to give the Zulus the livestock from the Boer farms.
The Lu people, and then improved the social status of the Zulu people after the war, attracted tens of thousands of Zulu to fight for the British Empire.
What makes the Zulu people unhappy is that the British did not fulfill their promises. The Zulu people's social status has not been improved, nor have they received livestock from the Boer farms. Those Zulu people who died in the war or were disabled
People don't even get pensions. In the eyes of the British, the Zulus are like chamber pots. After being used, they are still left in the corner of the yard.
Relatively speaking, Rock is pretty good. At least Rock hires retired scouts and pays them a certain salary.
Although the salary paid to the Zulu police is definitely not as high as that paid to the Chinese police and the Boer police, this has already made the Zulu people overjoyed.
On the 3rd, no news of the guerrillas had been found, but another conflict broke out between the police station and the Welch Fusiliers.
Two Boer policemen who were on duty at the police station site were insulted by Welch's Fusiliers patrol. The two policemen could not bear the insult and cursed a few words back at Welch's Fusiliers' patrol. As a result,
Beaten by a patrol of Welch's Fusiliers.
One policeman was slightly injured and another had a broken rib and needed to be sent back to Pretoria for treatment.
If it was just a scolding, then forget it. Taking action was a bit excessive, and having his ribs broken was even more intolerable. After Roque found out, he immediately went to Norman Theresa to seek justice for his men. "Sorry, our leader is not here." Norman Theresa's men were still arrogant, looking at Roark with provocative and disdainful eyes.
Not bad, at least this time I didn’t turn around and leave.
But there was no intention to inform or call.
That is to say, before Rock came, someone told the guards what to say.
"Okay, wait until your leader comes back and tell him I've been here." Roque didn't waste any words and wasn't going to go to Pretoria to file a complaint.
It's not a good idea to file a complaint.
To put it bluntly, if Rock encounters some trouble and goes to see Alfred Milner, then even if Alfred Milner will give Rock full support, I am afraid he will leave a bad impression on Rock.
Good impression.
If you think about it, you can understand that if you go to the governor to make the decision when something happens, what is the meaning of Rock's existence?
If you can't even solve this little trouble, how can you gain greater trust from your superiors?
Therefore, if Rock wants to take the initiative to solve this problem, it is definitely not Rock's style to swallow his anger.
Back at the police station, Rock called Martin, Li De, and Yaya all over.
"Director, it's easy to find trouble with Welch's Fusiliers. Just find someone to do something about it -" Martin heard Roark's request and immediately had an idea.
Martin, this guy, with Rock supporting Martin, Martin has completely released his nature.
"How to operate?" Compared with Martin, Li De is definitely a good boy.
"It's too simple. The Welch Fusiliers beat our people. They will definitely prevent us from retaliating in the past few days. If they don't come to us, we will go to them. Even if Johannesburg is under military control, we police
It is only natural to patrol the streets - in fact, it is very simple to cause trouble for the Welch Fusiliers, just let more of our people hang out in front of the patrols of the Welch Fusiliers. I don't believe it.
Those soldiers can hold back. If they want to take action again and start a fight, who do we brothers have to fear?" Martin was full of confidence.
In fact, the key lies in the question of whether you dare to fight back.
The two policemen who were beaten were both Boers. They would definitely be helpless when facing the regular army composed purely of British people. The police are not as good as the regular army. The Boers are psychologically weak in front of the British. The key is that the police still have
There are only two people, and the opponent is an entire patrol team. Added together, the disadvantage is infinitely magnified.
Martin's confidence lies in the fact that if he really wants to fight with his arms and legs free, the commandos really won't be afraid of anyone.
In fact, as early as the Huayong Camp period, the Huayongs received strict training. After coming to Cape, Rock never relaxed the training of the commandos for a day. If he did this, he would not be able to defeat the regular army, which was even inferior to the Boers.
, the Chinese policemen of the Johannesburg Police Department should go home early to hold their children.
"Martin, make a plan, Yaya, your detective team will be responsible for implementing it-" Rock agreed, no, "temporary workers" are indeed useful, and they are now put to use.
