The "trainees" that Rock sent to Frank were all Chinese police officers who were disabled during the war or were injured at work.
Maybe Frank had some illusions before. If Rock sent Frank a group of young people who were inexperienced in the world, then Frank might be able to bring some private goods into the training and instigate one or two students sent by Rock.
Place a nail or something next to Rock.
Don’t think about it now. These retired Chinese policemen who were disabled due to injuries have already experienced the cruelty of society. The British government treats them by paying a pension and then not caring about their future lives.
Repatriate to place of origin.
Roque did not abandon them. When he was in Cape Town, he tried his best to find jobs for these retired policemen who were disabled due to injuries so that they could continue to shine. When he arrived in Johannesburg, Roque even bought a farm for them.
Their families were reunited in Johannesburg, bought them cows and draft horses, and hired Zulu people to run the farm. Therefore, the gratitude of these retired policemen to Rock is indescribable. If Rock needs it, they can always donate themselves.
life, because they know that in this world, who can they really rely on, even if they die, Roque can take care of their family.
Instigate them to rebel?
Dream!
Iron Hook is the representative of these retired police officers.
"Don't worry, Sir. These seventeen brothers of ours all came here with real swords and guns. If someone really wants to eat someone, I don't need you to say anything, Sir. I will kill the person with my own hands and wipe his neck myself." Tiegou said with his life.
The War Office may be very good at instigating rebellion when it comes to guaranteeing the loyalty of these retired police officers, but the feeling of carrying a gun together is no joke.
The so-called instigation of rebellion refers to secretly inciting members of the hostile party to defect.
This instigation is nothing more than a temptation, but in Nyasaland, it is really not easy to seduce these retired policemen who have been through the eyes of the King of Hell.
To put it simply, Roque can provide whatever the War Office can give to these retired policemen. Roque can also provide anything that the War Office cannot provide. To say the least, the families of these retired policemen are all in Johannesburg. There is a big family behind each of them.
There are dozens or even a few of them, betraying Rock?
How to carry it!
"Don't worry, Sir, some of us brothers really have second thoughts. Even if they run to the ends of the earth, we have to catch them back in three knives and six holes!"
"Three swords and six holes? Light the sky lantern!"
"Even his wife and children!"
"Wife and children? Kill his nine tribes!"
The retired police officers talked a lot. Any question like this is an insult to them.
"Come on, brothers, it's not that serious. Our brothers' lives are getting better and better. Now we just have to eat and drink without worries. From now on, we will be free. Who wants to let the good life go by for nothing? It's just because of a flaw in the brain -" Rock
If you don’t think this is a problem, only fools would abandon their wives and children and go with the British. Before the clan is broken, the influence of the clan on the clan is immeasurable. As long as the families of these retired policemen are still in Johannesburg, Rock is not afraid of anyone.
Betrayal.
Even if someone betrays him, Roque has plenty of ways to make him pay.
"Our territory is getting bigger and bigger, and we have more and more people. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. There are not only us Chinese in Nyasaland, but also many white people. We need an organization to monitor these white people, and some people still have bad intentions."
If there are no stable Chinese, you should go to the War Office for training. Pay more attention to the organizational structure of the War Office, see how they train agents, and see how they brainwash them. When you learn how, we will also set up our own
I won’t go into the meaning of cultivating our own agents through our organization. We definitely have the rights, it just depends on whether the brothers can grasp them." Roque’s goal is clear. The War Office has not yet established an intelligence bureau. Roque must first
Take one step at a time and make arrangements as early as possible.
Roark, who has more than a hundred years of experience than anyone else in this era, must know the importance of intelligence work. The significance of this aspect cannot be overemphasized. At this time in 1902, no country in the world paid attention to intelligence work.
, there are no traces of the four major intelligence organizations. Roque set up the intelligence bureau first, definitely not just for the sake of being new and different, especially in Cape and Johannesburg where the situation is complex, it is very necessary.
Relatively speaking, intelligence work in hostile areas like Portuguese East Africa is really not important. Intelligence personnel are non-combatants. If the War Office sends intelligence personnel to Portuguese East Africa, it is putting the cart before the horse. The army can play a greater role in Portuguese East Africa. "Sir, do you want to get a drop of blood?" The guy who just shouted "three swords and six holes" has a bright mind.
The blood drops are actually more of folklore and the secret history of the palace, and the general public is still very gossipy.
In fact, what really existed was the "sticky pole department". This organization, which was ostensibly responsible for sticking cicadas, catching dragonflies, and fishing, was the real intelligence organization of the Qing Dynasty.
"The drops of blood are so unpleasant to hear." Someone immediately objected.
"Brad - isn't it good?" San Dao Liu Dong insisted.
"No, no, no, Brad sounds too eye-catching. If we do something like this, we can't make it public. The specific name depends on Sir Alex Ferguson." This one has the most discernment.
"Don't make random guesses. You have no establishment and no name. From now on, you can hang it under the city government and just find an office." Roque also knows that intelligence work should be low-key, and it is best that no one notices it.
——
The temporary office that Rock gave to the War Office was in the suburbs in the west of the city. Since it was temporary, the requirements for the housing were definitely not high. Hundreds of construction workers worked together and built a temporary camp in three days, with a total of
There are only a dozen wooden buildings, and they are surrounded by wooden fences. Although the ground has not yet been leveled, there is still enough space.
Compared with the marble buildings around Cecil Rhodes Square, the wooden building was indeed a bit crude, but Frank felt good about it and happily chose a wooden building and moved in. Naturally, the others had nothing to say.
.
The seventeen "young bird agents" who need to be trained are even more miserable. Some of them have broken hands and some have broken legs. Prosthetics are not developed these days. The broken hands can be connected with an iron hook.
Those with broken legs can only use crutches, which is really shabby compared with the well-dressed staff and the prosperous college students.
Stoudemire couldn't stand it, and frowned and complained to Rock: "Can't you pick something outstanding?"
"You think they are not outstanding?" Rock doesn't think so. Don't look at these college students who are as proud as little cocks. They are really desperate for their lives. These "waste people" with broken arms and legs, one person can kill a group of them.<
/p>
The War Office is also exploring intelligence work, so this group of college students selected for training can all be said to be outstanding, not only in terms of appearance, but also in figure.
There is actually a reason for this. People engaged in intelligence work are not as ordinary as possible. After all, the places intelligence officers will visit in the future will be high-end places, and the people they will come into contact with are all from the upper class. In that kind of situation, you need to have a first-class appearance and figure.
Normally, if we really let these people sent by Rock go, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get in.
This is because the needs are different. Rock needs an instructor, and Frank needs an executor, so there is such a big difference.
"You still want to train your own intelligence personnel? Why do you need so many intelligence personnel?" Xiaosi is instinctively wary of intelligence personnel.
"What for? It's more useful. I spend most of my time in Johannesburg and Nyasaland, so I need someone to help me keep an eye on it. The same goes for Johannesburg. We need someone to help us obtain intelligence. Don't you? You don't need it either.
You need someone to help you monitor Rhodesia—" Roque has bad intentions. If Xiaosi also needs people, but he can't train them, haha—
"Of course I also need -" Xiao Si was very entangled, but if Xiao Si was asked to follow Rock's example and set up a department specifically responsible for intelligence work, Xiao Si really didn't have the talent in this area.
In fact, the main issue is loyalty. The government-enterprise integration model of South African companies will completely disappear in the future because it cannot keep up with the times.
Although nominally, the South African company belongs to Stoudemire, Stoudemire does not have very strong control over the South African company. Even Dr. Starr Jameson, the chief executive of Rhodesia, went to Cape to run for prime minister. Rhodes
One can imagine the situation in West Asia.
"I'm not being alarmist Cecil, if you don't change the model of Rhodesia, Rhodesia won't last long." Rock reminded Stoudemire to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
"How to change it?" Xiaosi also knew that there were hidden dangers in Rhodesia, but he didn't know how to solve them.
"To strengthen the organizational structure, you need strong government departments, strong violent agencies, and strong monitoring methods." Rock's three powerful words directly confused Xiao Si.
Everyone can tell you to be obedient, but it is not easy to do it.
Stoudemire also understands Rock's three "powerful" principles, but it is difficult to achieve them.
In other words, according to Stoudemire's observation, Rock did not achieve these three "powerful" qualities in Nyasaland.
"Nyasaland is different from Rhodesia. The main population of Nyasaland is Chinese. If the Chinese want to live in Africa, whether they want to or not, they must rely on Nyasaland. This is the natural characteristic of Nyasaland.
Advantages; Rhodesia is different. The main population of Rhodesia is African, and the number of white people is far less than that of Africans. This is a huge hidden danger. It does not seem obvious now, but if something unexpected happens, such as the current Portuguese
It belongs to East Africa, think about it -" Roque still incited Xiao Si to expel all Africans in Rhodesia. Only if Xiao Si does this, Roque will allow the Chinese to enter Rhodesia.
"Portuguese East Africa - yes, Rhodesia must change." Stoudemire finally made up his mind. The miserable situation of the Portuguese in Portuguese East Africa became the last straw that crushed Stoudemire.
A long time ago, Rock emphasized to Stoudemire the dangers of Africans. The reason why Stoudemire has never made up his mind is that the development of Rhodesia cannot be separated from the labor force of Africans.
Now it is obvious that the Chinese can also provide enough labor for Rhodesia. Coupled with the drastic changes in Portuguese East Africa, Xiao Si finally made up his mind to clean up the Africans.
"Don't worry, even if I train agents here, I promise they will never be used in Rhodesia." Rock assured Stoudemire. Although this guarantee did not seem very convincing, Stoudemire could only
Choose to believe in Rock’s character.
"Humph, it's better to be like this - no, I'm going to find Frank too." Stoudemire is not stupid either. It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself.
Later, Lala finally returned to Nyasaland. After Rock asked about it, he took Lala to see Frank.
"——The Portuguese are all in coastal strongholds. We have controlled most of the northern part of Portuguese East Africa. The Ngoni and the recruiters hope that we can go south as quickly as possible. They promise to respond to us, but
Our current activities are all in the area north of the Zambezi River. We will not cross the Zambezi River rashly before driving the Portuguese forces out of the northern area." Lara is very optimistic about the situation, and there are favorable winds during this period.
Going smoothly gave Lala a lot of confidence.
"How much did you lose when you ambush the Portuguese some time ago?" Frank wants to evaluate the strength of the Yao people, which is very important for the smooth implementation of the "Two C Plan".
Lala probably couldn't understand Frank's accent, so she was dumbfounded and a little confused.
Frank frowned, the language barrier is a serious problem.
Roque helped translate, and now Lala can understand: "We killed more than 4,000 Portuguese. This is an amazing victory. Africans have never achieved such a great victory in resisting European colonial aggression——"
"Stop, let's get down to business -" Rock interrupted immediately. If no one stopped her, Lala would be able to brag until tomorrow morning.
"Well - our casualties are less than 5,000." Lala's expression was still very proud.
"Five thousand! Nearly 30,000 troops besieged less than 5,000 Portuguese, half of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, and allowed more than 1,000 people to successfully return to Pemba. Your own casualties were less than 5,000. Don't you think so?
Is this a brilliant result?" Roque was simply heartbroken. With such a huge advantage, the Portuguese have not yet been annihilated. In Roque's view, both Lara and Zhazha will have to face trial.
"Not bad!" Frank thought it was good. Perhaps from Frank's point of view, this result is acceptable.
Lala didn't even look at Frank, she looked at Rock eagerly. If there was a tail behind her butt, it would be wagging happily.
"Well, you have sufficient weapons, overwhelming strength, and professional soldiers as guidance, how could you fight like this?" Roque was not angry because of this result, but because of Lala's pride just now.
Yes, they are proud. Maybe Frank and Lara think that they have achieved this step well, but Rock believes that it is entirely possible to do better.
For example, annihilate all the rescue troops on the way to Marupa, so that they can continue to encircle the point for reinforcements.
