After the Boer War, except for Louis Botha and Jan Smuts, all the other Boer generals were idle at home and excluded from the colonial government.
Now that the federal government has been established, British influence in southern Africa has gradually faded, and Bloemfontein has become the legislative capital of the federal government. The Boers who are idle at home and unwilling to lose their power are as restless as sharks smelling the smell of blood.
.
Schalk Biegel and Byers' request is very simple. Even if they cannot return to the army, they still want to enter the Department of Defense and contribute to the security of the federal government.
Of course, the last sentence was said by themselves, and Rock definitely didn't believe it. Safety and the like were all excuses, and wanting to regain power was the real thing.
It's no wonder that Hopkins handed all the power to Rock. This was actually a very offensive job. If the Boers were not allowed to get their hands on the power, they would become the public enemies of the Boers.
And if the Boers are given access to rights, then their demands will become more and more demanding, and the Ministry of National Defense will fall into endless wrangling like the government.
Luo Ke definitely didn't want to see this happen, so Luo Ke was determined not to see anyone. He already had ideas for the newly formed third and fourth divisions.
The first is the selection of division commanders. Considering the acceptance level of white people, the candidates for division commanders of the third and fourth divisions can only be white people. This is something Ade hinted to Rock.
Roque will definitely not insist on going his own way. The positioning of the third and fourth divisions is different from that of the first and second divisions. The first and second divisions are reorganized divisions with proactive capabilities and can be used for overseas operations.
The Third and Fourth Divisions are only defense forces, responsible for the security of Cape and Natal respectively, and will not be used for overseas operations. Therefore, there will be a big gap between the first and second divisions in terms of organization and equipment level. According to Roque's plan, the first and second divisions will continue to expand, with each division expanding to about 15,000 men.
The Third and Fourth Divisions will only retain a size of about 5,000 people, and will be mainly composed of infantry and cavalry. They will not be equipped with too many vehicles and heavy weapons. Therefore, the selection of division commanders for these two divisions is not important, and they can be used just right.
To balance the racial ratio within the Defense Force.
Although Roque was unwilling to mention the racial issue, in southern Africa, this issue cannot be avoided at all. The former Northern Rhodesian Division and the new 1st Cavalry Division were mainly Chinese. Later, Roque began to recruit Gurkhas.
The proportion of mercenaries and Chinese soldiers is gradually shrinking.
In the future, the expansion of the first and second divisions will still be dominated by Gorkha mercenaries, and the proportion of Chinese will gradually decrease. In Rock's ideal model, in the end, all officers and technical arms of the army may be filled by Chinese.
The soldiers are all Gurkha mercenaries.
The two newly formed divisions don't matter. Once a war breaks out in southern Africa, Rock doesn't expect these two forces to be able to turn the tide. As long as these two forces can maintain the stability of Cape and Orange, if a war breaks out, Rock
Those who trust are still the old staff of the First Division and the Second Division.
Although Rock refused to meet, Nicola Van Rensburg was not discouraged. Early the next morning, Nicola Van Rensburg came to Cecil Rhodes Square in Little Rock and held a public meeting here.
Performance.
"Prophet"? The performance must be something related to mysticism, otherwise it will not be able to show the greatness of the "prophet".
So what Nikolai van Rensburg performs is Indian levitation.
The trick of levitation has been played badly on the Internet in the 21st century, but in southern Africa at the beginning of the 20th century, almost no one knew the mystery behind it, so Nikolai van Rensburg's performance was
It caused a sensation. Even Phyllis knew that a "virtuous monk" had come to Little Rock. Stoudemire, who had witnessed the levitation performance with his own eyes, was even more convinced that he even wanted to invite Nikolai Van Rensburg to Rhodesia.
Take care of yourself till you grow old.
"Have you seen with your own eyes that he can float in the air?" Rock didn't believe it at all. Give Rock some time to prepare a few steel pipes and a pair of thick clothes, and Rock can also perform the so-called floating technique.
"Of course, at least thousands of people have witnessed this miracle with their own eyes. Almost everyone is discussing it these days. Did you know that Nikolai Van Rensburg is a famous prophet among the Boers and can predict the future?
, and knows everything that happens around him. During the Boer War, Nikolai Van Rensburg used his magical ability to help the Boer coalition win -" Stoudemire rambled on. It was difficult for Rock to understand before. Why
Some people will fall for a very simple deception. Looking at Stoudemire now, Rock finally understands why.
There are too many fools in this world and not enough liars.
It is said that Luo Ke once asked Luo Yi to go to the Cape Town dock to set up a trap, which was actually a trick.
Thinking about it now, people who were deceived at that time were like crucian carp crossing the river——
I can only say that people nowadays are really simple.
"It's fake, it's just a simple trick -" Rock could only expose it ruthlessly. People like Nikolai Vanrensburg are actually very dangerous. If Nikolai Vanrensburg has enough influence, then
If you don't pay attention, it will develop into something like that.
"Locke, you are questioning because you haven't seen it with your own eyes. I can understand it. I wouldn't have believed it before, but I saw it with my own eyes at the time. If I have the chance, I really want to invite Nicola Vallens
I'm looking forward to your surprised expression when the time comes." Stoudemire is also very stubborn. It seems that Stoudemire won't believe it unless Roque comes up with evidence.
"Waiting -" Rock didn't waste any time and raised his hand to call Zach over.
"No, this is impossible -" Although Xiao Si still didn't want to believe it, his confidence had begun to waver.
In fact, Roque's performance has always been too unbelievable, and his position in Stoudemire's heart is deeply ingrained. Roque rarely makes mistakes, which has been proven by countless facts.
Zach's efficiency is also high, but within one meal, Zach recreated Nikola van Rensburg's "miracle" at Eagle Castle.
"That's not the case, Locke, Nikolai Vanrensburg did it with his own ability, not with the help of tools." Stoudemire was no longer defending Nikolai Vanrensburg at this time, but
You are defending your own intelligence.
If you are deceived by such a simple method, it will really be an insult to your own IQ, so even if the facts are right in front of you, Stoudemire must maintain his confidence in Nikola van Rensburg.
"Okay, just wait-" Rock wanted to completely expose Nikolai Vanrensburg's scam, so he asked Zach to find Nikolai Vanrensburg.
When Zach found Nikolai Vanrensburg, Nikolai Vanrensburg was a guest at a wealthy businessman. It is said that the wealthy businessman paid Nick to invite Nikolai Vanrensburg to perform levitation in public.
La van Rensburg one thousand pounds.
This money is really easy to make. If Rock is willing, he can let Zach go out to make money.
By the way, Zach’s image also has a story.
When Nikolai Van Rensburg came to Eagle Castle, the props used by Zach when performing for Stoudemire were still there.
It was obvious that Nikola van Rensburg's expression was a little panicked the moment she saw those props.
Little Stowe was a gentle and gentle person, but now he looked at Nikolai van Rensburg with sharp and fierce eyes.
It’s better not to be too public about this kind of trick. It’s okay to make a fortune quietly. To make it public is to seek death. Once the scam is exposed, no matter how ruthlessly those who touted it in the first place, the revenge methods after the scam is exposed will be just as ruthless.
Take Stoudemire for example. Stoudemire now wants to put Nikolai van Rensburg in a sack and throw it into Lake Nyasa. But he doesn’t know if Nikolai van Rensburg, the “prophet”, has any foresight.
Until he will face such an ending.
I probably didn’t expect it, otherwise Nikolai van Rensburg would have escaped by now.
"Come on, Mr. Nikolai Van Rensburg, I heard that your levitation technique is very magical. Mr. Rhodes would like to see it." Rock's attitude was very casual. If Nikolai Van Rensburg didn't rely on props,
can perform levitation in public, then Rock will admit that Nikolai van Rensburg is really a prophet.
"I'm sorry, Lord, the levitation technique consumes a lot of money on me. I can only perform it once a week. If Mr. Rhodes wants to see it, I'm afraid he will have to wait until a week later." Nikolai Van Rensburg must have had her own explanation.
.
After all, Eagle Castle is different from the home of a wealthy businessman. Nikolai van Rensburg did not come alone, but also brought his team.
Because of Rock's invitation, Nikolai Van Rensburg was able to enter Eagle Fort, while his team members could only wait outside Eagle Fort. Without the help of team members, Nikolai Van Rensburg could not complete the so-called
"Levitation", so the time limit is a good reason.
"It doesn't matter, then please stay in Eagle Castle for a week, and then perform for Mr. Rhodes after a week." Rock is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time, but he doesn't know if Xiaosi has the patience.
"I'm afraid that won't work either, Lord. I have already felt the call of the Lord and will return to Orange tomorrow -" Nikla van Rensburg will definitely not wait to reveal her secret, and "Lord" is also a good excuse.
"When you feel the call of the Lord, shouldn't you go to heaven?" Stoudemire's expression was so cold that Rock could almost hear the sound of Stoudemire grinding his teeth.
"Sorry, Mr. Rhodes, I do not believe in Protestantism, but the traditional religion of our Boers. In our Boer tradition, as long as we feel the call of the Lord, we will return home-" Nicola Van
Rensburg forced himself to remain calm. This liar has a very strong psychological quality. He probably even believed it himself.
"So you want to return to the Netherlands?" Roque asked casually. Tradition probably cannot be passed down unless it lasts for hundreds of years.
The Boers have only been in Africa for a few years. If you really want to talk about tradition, you can only go back to the Netherlands or go to the Cape.
