The British are much richer than the Japanese. The Japanese hire Koreans as policemen. They don't even have the money to buy police batons for the Koreans. They can only give each person a wooden stick. The British are quite generous in this regard. Rock and their police officers
The weapons and equipment are all available, and the logistics supply is regardless of cost. Compared with the local regular army, it is not far behind.
What's more, the Chinese police also have "pig teammates", that is, those "big turbans" with more people. They have a greater chance of becoming the target of hatred by the Boers. Looking at it this way, it seems that the Indian police are the "god teammates" of the Chinese police.
"That's right.
——
The statistical results are surprising. Rock indeed underestimated the quality level of the refugees. There are not only doctors and brewers in the refugee camps, but also teachers, accountants, translators, bank clerks, stage actors, painters, etc.<
/p>
After reading Jeffery's statistical results, although Rock didn't know what the education level of the British people was now, the overall quality of the refugees certainly exceeded the overall quality of the nationals of most countries at this time.
"This Kate, this Eve, and Scarlett, I want these people -" Ada had the foresight to pick out all the accountants in the refugee camp.
"Leave one for me." Rock was anxious. Ada needed an accountant, and so did Rock.
"Then leave Kate to you, she is the youngest——" Ada leaned on the bar, covering her mouth and smiling, full of coquettishness.
What a witch!
"No, I want this Scarlett. She is the oldest and should be the most experienced." Rock doesn't want a little girl. Kate is only 19 years old, what will she do?
It should be said that for the profession of accountant, the older you are, the more experience you have. What Roque needs is experience, not a vase.
In fact, Scarlett is not too old, only 23 years old. In the 21st century, that is, she has just graduated from college. However, Scarlett, who is 23 years old now, already has 11 years of work experience. She started working at the age of 12.
Get to work!
It's normal. Rock still doesn't know what kind of dire straits white people live in these days. It's normal to start working at the age of 12. In some sweatshops, there are even child laborers under the age of ten. Those child laborers are engaged in the same tasks as adults.
People who work as hard as they do will generally not survive to adulthood.
"Perhaps you can set up a school, and all these teachers, translators, and painters can be employed as teachers in the school. If you can provide education for those Portuguese workers, I believe they will work harder." Ai
Da has so many ideas, no wonder a widow thrives in Cape Town.
"Okay, you can do it." Rock delegated the authority and could see that Ada didn't like Cape Town. In Oak Town, Ada was really at home.
One day later, Rock hired 120 Boer women to work in his vineyard. These women all had children. They and their children still lived in the refugee camp. During the day, they left the refugee camp and worked in Rock's vineyard.
, return to the refugee camp at night and be reunited with their children.
These 120 Boer women and their children first lived in military tents "donated" by Aida. These military tents were very spacious and had several windows. During the day, the curtains outside the windows could be raised for ventilation.
It can transmit light, and you can still keep warm by putting down the curtain at night.
A military tent can accommodate four refugee families. Ada also brought a camp bed with the tent. Although the bed is relatively small, it is completely different from the previous underground nest.
In the past, there were no beds in the refugee camps, and the refugees had to lie on the floor. They could make ends meet in the summer, but certainly not in the winter.
Another week later, the school in the refugee camp officially opened. The classrooms were also in military tents. The courses only included simple English, mathematics, physical education, music, and art. All school-age children could study. When the sound of reading could be heard,
Everyone who passed the classroom couldn't help but slow down, and the women's eyes finally glowed with vitality. Their lives had been colorless, but now, although the future is still bleak, at least they see hope.
With Ada's help, Rock's work became much easier. Every afternoon, Rock's favorite thing was to sit with Ada on the second-floor balcony of the Oak Bar, looking at the endless vineyards and the Oak Town that was changing bit by bit.
Rock is satisfied.
Leisure time is always rare. In early April, a British army team of about 50 people came to Oak Town. They were unarmed, dejected, undisciplined, and their uniforms were crooked, like a group of defeated deserters.
.
Rock almost forgot that this is the "City of Cowards". Needless to say, this is another group of cowards who were thrown here to reflect. There are many such cowards. They all live in the military camp next to Simonsburg. There are usually few
Appears in Oak Town.
The so-called "cowards" are only compared to the Boer coalition forces on the battlefield. When they left the battlefield, these "cowards" were so arrogant that the two Zulus carrying building materials did not notice them and just passed by them.
They surrounded him and knocked him to the ground. Kaka and Yaya, who were in charge of supervising the work, did not dare to stop him. They just watched from a distance, not even daring to show their faces.
"Look, this is the regular army of the British Empire. They are all deserters on the battlefield and were sent here to reflect. But when facing civilians, their performance is not bad." Ada said with ridicule, no wonder there are 250,000 regular soldiers.
Still can't defeat tens of thousands of Boers——
No, there are now more than 300,000 regular troops in the Cape, and the British government is still increasing its troops. It seems that even if it is to use people to pile up, the British government will pile the Boers to death.
"The Boers are actually quite powerful. Their performance on the battlefield is no worse than that of the regular army." Rock has fought against both guerrillas and the regular army of the Boer coalition, so he is definitely qualified for evaluation.
Beating people who dare not resist does not actually bring much pleasure. Those "cowards" soon lost interest in the two Zulus who were lying on the ground with their heads in their hands and did not dare to resist. At this time, they discovered the Oak Bar.
So it was like discovering a new world. Although it was not the bar's opening hours yet, they still gathered around the bar door and clamored, demanding that the bar open now.
"Go, go, open for business. These bastards won't give up until you agree to it." Ada had seen this kind of thing too often, so she opened for business.
Fortunately, Ada has already transferred experienced bartenders from the Table Mountain bar and hired several bar girls from the refugee camps, so she will have no problem dealing with these soldiers.
However, Rock and Ada still underestimated how bad these soldiers were.
