Gandhi's non-violent disobedience was gradually perfected during the Cape.
The so-called "non-violence and non-cooperation" means that I can't beat you, but I won't obey you. If you are willing to humiliate me, scold me, beat me, or kill me, I will endure it, endure it, endure it, endure it.
With
If you endure it, you will become a Ninja Turtle!
This is no joke, Gandhi really thought so.
During World War II, the Nazis pointed the finger at the Jews. When the Jews were being massacred, Gandhi called on the Jews to commit mass suicide. Maybe the Germans would be disgusted with the atrocities of the Nazis and then oppose the Nazis.
When the Republic of China faced Japanese aggression, Chang Kaishen went to meet Gandhi. Gandhi chose to refuse to help and participate in the Allies. In addition, he also advised Chang Kaishen not to resist and to kill with the Japanese. Anyway, there were many people in the Republic of China. After killing 200 million, there were still 200 million left.
In the end, the Japanese will become "slaves of the Chinese" if they are killed too hard.
So let’s not talk about whether Gandhi’s “non-violent non-cooperation” is right or not. Anyway, the British like Gandhi very much, and the leaders of India after independence also like Gandhi very much. The reason is: everyone likes such “obedient people”!
But if civilians believe his lies and practice "non-violence and non-cooperation", then they are really stupid.
Winston commented on Gandhi this way: Look at that lawyer who graduated from the London Law School and is good at demagoguery. Now he is pretending to be an ascetic common among Eastern people, naked and as thin as a bone, and he is still calmly talking to the deputy king (
The Governor-General of India sat on an equal footing, went in and out of the palace, and pretended to dine and drink tea with the representatives of the King of England. It was really disgusting.
To be honest, Rock didn't like Gandhi either.
But Rock had no reason to prevent Gandhi from contacting the Boers. The reason was simple. If Gandhi could influence those Boers, then this would objectively be beneficial to Rock's work.
Therefore, Rock still focused his work on the Chinese miners in Johannesburg.
After returning to the police station, Rock immediately called Martin: "Take time to go to Johannesburg in the next few days to understand the situation of the Chinese in Johannesburg. Remember to just understand. Even if their living conditions are not good, don't interfere.
."
Rock had to be careful. If the information provided by Henry was correct, then most Chinese should work in "De Beers Unified Mining Company". Compared with Rock, "De Beers Unified Mining Company" was a giant. Rock was in
Facing the "De Beers Unified Mining Company", it has no ability to compete, so even if the living conditions of the Chinese miners are not good, Rock can't save them now.
Even?
Forget it, Rock is almost certain that the living environment of the Chinese miners in Johannesburg must be very harsh.
Unlike Rock and others who were regular employees of the Cape Colonial Government, the Chinese in Johannesburg were all foreign migrant workers. The Transvaal Republic did not have as enlightened immigration measures as Cape Town. Before the Second Boer War, even white people wanted to naturalize.
Transvaal, you must first live in the Transvaal for 5 years, this clause was later extended to 14 years.
The policies for naturalizing white people are so harsh, so don’t even think about it for Chinese people.
Without Roque's intervention, even if the Chinese in Johannesburg survived until the end of their employment contracts, they would not have received much money and would have been sent back home in the end.
Don't overestimate the conscience of white people. The social status of the Chinese in the Transvaal these days is not much better than that of the Zulus.
Indians and Gandhi strive to improve their social status, but the Chinese have nothing.
Fortunately, there is Rock now.
Martin doesn't know what Roark is thinking. If Roark doesn't tell him, Martin won't ask, but Martin will carry out Roark's orders to the letter.
Rock went back to find Henry again.
"There is no police station in Johannesburg yet. Should we send some police officers to Johannesburg?" In front of Henry, Rock did not hide his desire for Johannesburg.
"Ha, I know." Henry also knew what Roark was thinking. Perhaps like other British people, Henry didn't like Chinese, but Henry liked Roark: "Let's wait until after the Governor's inauguration. We still don't have enough police force to maintain
The security situation in Pretoria is terrible, and it cannot take care of Johannesburg as well.”
Of course, the more likely situation is that because Roque has been naturalized in Cape Town, Henry simply regards Roque as one of his own, which is different from other Chinese.
"Speaking of insufficient police force, can we coordinate with Cape Town and hire some Zulu scouts?" Rock doesn't have the right to hire people directly from the Qing yet, so he can only rely on the Zulu people.
During the Second Boer War, the Expeditionary Force hired a large number of Zulu scouts. They performed very well on the battlefield, endured hardships and were not afraid of sacrifice. It would be a pity if these people retired after the war.
"Why hire them? Those Zulus are not disciplined and don't like to learn. Many of them don't even understand English. They can't do the job of the police well." Henry looked down on those Zulus.
Regarding Zulu discipline and learning, this is indeed a problem.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on the Zulu people. Din Zulu of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters agreed that after defeating the Boers, the Zulu people could obtain the Boer cattle and sheep, so the discipline of the Zulu people was out of the question.
As for learning!
Will the British educate the Zulus?
Don't be ridiculous, the British would only use rifles and sticks to teach the Zulus a lesson, so the British never tried to restrain the Zulus' military discipline. The undisciplined Zulus were in the best interests of the UK.
"Let's give it a try. As the scope of our work expands, we will inevitably have to face the Boer guerrillas. Then those Zulu people will come in handy." Rock prepared for a rainy day. The IQ of the Zulu people is not legendary.
Their IQs are so low that they can become president of the United States in the 21st century. Do you think they have low IQs?
"Okay, I just have something to ask General Hopkins." Henry's purpose was not simple.
General?
I'm afraid it's for the general's daughter.
"How are you and Lacey doing?" Rock didn't have to shy away from this kind of question.
"Very good!" When mentioning Lacey, Henry was immediately happy to see the big molars.
Leaving Henry's office and passing by Phyllis' desk, Rock suddenly spotted a familiar figure from behind.
"Thank you, I don't need it. Mr. Kevin, can you please leave? I still have my job." Phyllis was very rude.
Kevin?
Oh, Lacey's fiancé
It seems like Kevin is very interested in Phyllis
This revenge angle is good. Henry steals Kevin's fiancée, and Kevin goes to have sex with Henry's sister.
Hey, how dirty!
