Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Both Roque and Louis Botha hoped that the war would end as soon as possible.

As long as the war continues, the Transvaal will be under martial law, the provisional government will not be able to truly play its role, and the police station will naturally be just a decoration.

Rock hopes to end the war as soon as possible, not only because of the law enforcement power of the police department. After the war, the provisional government will begin to rebuild. By then, Rock can unscrupulously increase the immigration of Chinese from the Qing Dynasty, giving Rock a

In two years, Rock will be able to immigrate 300,000 people to Johannesburg. By then, whether the British or the Boers are in power, the power of the Chinese cannot be ignored.

300,000 is already a lot. In the four Cape colonies, the total number of British people is about 200,000. The Boers suffered heavy casualties in the war. There are still more than 600,000 people, so 300,000 is not too much. If possible, the Romans

Grams hopes to immigrate 500,000 people, so as to ensure the interests of the Chinese in Cape.

If it's 500,000, it's not impossible if you work hard.

In another time and space, without Roark's participation, the mine owners in Johannesburg worked together to immigrate 60,000 people from the Qing Dynasty within one year.

In this time and space, with Rock's deep involvement and the full cooperation of Stoudemire and Henry, Rock would be simply incompetent if he couldn't move 100,000 people a year.

Louis Botha also wanted the war to end as soon as possible.

Although the Boers resisted tenaciously at the negotiation table, in fact all smart Boers knew that the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State were finished, and it was impossible for the British to allow the Boers to become independent. Therefore, all "tenacious"

, all just to strive for a more honorable surrender.

As long as the war continues, the guerrillas will have to sleep in the open air, suffer from hunger, and face the joint stranglehold of the expeditionary force and the provisional government.

As long as the war continues, women and children in concentration camps will continue to die.

The population density in the concentration camp was extremely high, tents, blankets, clothes and medicines were in short supply. Plague was prevalent, malnutrition was prevalent, and the mortality rate was extremely high. The mortality rate in the white concentration camp in Orange was as high as 40.1% in October 1901.

During the entire war, the Boers lost less than 5,000 lives on the battlefield, but more than 30,000 people died in the concentration camps.

Children make up the majority of the 30,000 people.

Children are the future of the Boers. If the death rate among children had not continued to rise, Louis Botha would never have accepted surrender. The expeditionary force knew this, so they threatened the Boer guerrillas with the women and children in the concentration camps.

If there were no children, what would happen if the Boers won the war?

The future of the entire nation is gone!

After receiving Rock's telegram, the Johannesburg Police Department immediately took action.

In fact, as soon as Cliff walked out of the train station, he was under surveillance by the Johannesburg Police Department.

Rock had previously played an important role in rectifying the hotel industry. Cliff did not know that hotels in Johannesburg were now undercover by the police, so after Cliff checked into the hotel, his information was reported to the police by the hotel owner.

The commando team led by Martin was in charge of the operation.

The action plan is old-fashioned but effective. The hotel waiter calls the door, and then the commandos carry out the arrest. Before television was popularized, this old-fashioned method was very effective. Cliff is not a very cautious person, otherwise he would not

Check into the hotel carelessly.

The original plan was good, but problems still occurred during execution.

"No, gentlemen, I don't dare, he will kill me." The hotel waiter trembled and did not dare to call the door.

"The hell there are so many of us here, how could he kill you?" Martin was angry and helpless. You can't expect a person without special training to have the same courage as a commando.

"That man has guns, more than one. I saw it when I checked in. He will kill me, please." The hotel clerk burst into tears and almost collapsed to the ground. Even if he mustered up the courage now

, it is estimated that the secret will be exposed when you go up.

"What the hell?" Martin turned around and looked around and found that he was surrounded by Chinese commandos.

"Inspector, why don't we try another approach?" one of Martin's sergeants said cleverly.

"What can I do?" Martin was sick and rushed to the doctor.

"Wait a minute." The sergeant hurriedly left with two commandos, and in a blink of an eye he brought back a Boer woman.

The clothes on this Boer woman were a little revealing, and the makeup on her face was a little heavy. It was already early in the morning, but she was still in high spirits. Without asking, she knew that she must be a special worker.

"Do you want to call the door?" Martin said straight to the point.

"Officer, I can call you anything", the special worker is quite humorous.

"Don't wander, hold on tight." Martin didn't waste any words, and tiptoed upstairs with the special workers and a large group of commandos.

Arriving at the door of Cliff's room, the special worker first made a gesture and then knocked gently.

no response.

I guess I was too asleep, so I kept typing.

"Who?" OK, finally woke up.

"Sir, do you need room service?" The special worker's voice is so sweet that if you don't do this job, it would be good to be an operator.

"No need" Cliff was a little grumpy.

"The service is very considerate," the special worker's voice was melodious.

"etc!"

Those who know how to drink can't stand it!

"Let me inspect the goods first," Cliff muttered, opening the door.

Then he was pinned down by a group of big men who looked like wolves and tigers.

"Fuck you, do it!" Cliff's voice changed.

"Shut up!" Cliff's reply was a hard punch.

"Good job!" Martin admired the performance of the special worker just now and may consider adding this position to the police station.

"Thank you for the praise, but it would be more realistic if you could give me some compensation." The special worker was very realistic.

The good impression that had just appeared in Martin's heart was immediately wiped out.

Martin didn't waste any time. He went in to search Cliff's luggage and found a handful of gold jewelry in Cliff's pocket.

Some of the jewelry still had blood on it.

"Fuck!" When Martin passed by Cliff, he kicked Cliff hard in the face.

After receiving the bloody gold ring, the special worker looked at Cliff with a look that could almost burn him.

"Officer, I don't want any reward, can you help me beat this beast again, just like the one you just kicked, a few more kicks, a harder kick would be better." The special worker is quite righteous.

"What the hell, get out of here, get out of here." Martin turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He was so arrogant that he wanted to call the police.

Take Cliff back to the police station and leave Martin alone with the interrogation. In the current Johannesburg Police Department, Martin has many disciples and disciples, especially the detective team members, who are simply better than their masters.

When Roque received the telegram, Louis Botta had not yet left.

"Caught?" Louis Botha couldn't believe it.

"Yes, caught." Roque said lightly, and you can fully imagine the turmoil in Louis Botta's heart.

It is now 1902, an era when wireless telegraphy has just been invented and has not yet had time to spread. From the time Rock sent the telegram to the Johannesburg Police Station to the time the Johannesburg Police Station arrested the person, it definitely took less than an hour.

What efficiency is this?

If the expeditionary force had this efficiency, the guerrillas would have been wiped out by the expeditionary force long ago.

Louis Botta would be very happy now. Fortunately, the British did not trust the Chinese and did not let Roque go to the battlefield.

In fact, Rock played, but it could only be regarded as a cameo. Even so, he still caused great harm to the Boers.

"How did you do it?" Louis Botta was puzzled.

"As you can see." Rock didn't explain that something that could be solved with a telegram was nothing to brag about.

Whether it's worth it or not is not Roque's final say. After dawn, word of the miracle of the Johannesburg Police Station spread throughout Pretoria.

Then Henry was called to the Palace of Justice by Ade and was scolded. After returning to the police station, Henry looked at Rock with resentment in his eyes.

"Please, next time you do something like this, can you inform me in advance and I will cooperate with you in pretending to be that." Henry asked himself, his control over the Pretoria Police Department was not as good as Roque's.

This is certain. When he led the commando team in Cape Town, although Henry was the captain, Rock was responsible for the specific work, and Henry was just a cover in name.

The same was true in Pretoria. Henry was responsible for the superstructure and Roque was responsible for the economic base. As a result, Roque went to Johannesburg, and Henry's control over the police station was reduced by more than half.

This is actually no wonder for Henry. There are not as many Boers in Johannesburg as there are in Pretoria. Before the war, Johannesburg was considered the traditional sphere of influence of the British, so the "Reform Committee" dared to launch riots. It is a pity that even in that kind of

Despite the circumstances, the uprising of the "Reform Committee" was still suppressed by the Boers.

Pretoria is the capital of the Transvaal Republic. There are few British people in the entire city. It is different from Johannesburg where British mine owners are everywhere. Even when Roque works in Pretoria, he has to face difficulties.

More difficulties.

"This was an emergency, and I didn't know it would end so quickly." Rock told the truth. The performance of the Johannesburg Police Department this time really surprised Rock.

"Just because it was a damn emergency, that's why I, the police chief, seem so incompetent." Henry lamented. He really had nothing to say this time. The Rocks were in Pretoria, not in Johannesburg at all, so

Rock and the Johannesburg Police Service are in the spotlight this time.

This limelight was reflected on the negotiating table. When Roque appeared, the Boer representatives looked at Roque with complicated eyes.

Steyn and Beagle have always been negotiating on behalf of the Boers. Some time ago, Steyn was seriously ill and could not participate in the negotiations, so General DeWitt was sent to take part in the negotiations on Steyn's behalf.

DeWitt was the Orange general who mobilized the Boers who had laid down their arms to rejoin the war.

At one time, DeWitt's importance on the blacklist within the Expeditionary Force surpassed that of Louis Botha.

Because the outcome of the negotiations required the consent of all Boers, in early January, Boer representatives representing the two Boer republics, 32 local militia groups and 165 guerrilla groups met in Vereeniging to discuss whether to accept the proposal proposed by the British government.

Negotiate peace terms.

On January 15, Rock accompanied Ade to Vereeniging to hold talks with Boer representative Jan Smuts.

Adé proposed twelve conditions for peace talks to Jan Smuts. The key first provision stipulated that the Boer field troops and armed citizens should lay down their arms, surrender all guns and war materials owned or controlled by them, and terminate the control of Edward VII.

His Majesty the King continues to resist any attempt to resist and recognizes His Majesty the King as his legitimate sovereign.

On January 25, 60 Boer delegates held a vote on whether to give up maintaining independence, and the result was 54 votes to 6. They decided to accept the first clause.

On January 31, Adelaide, General DeWitt, representing the Orange, and President Beagle, representing the Transvaal, formally signed a peace treaty in Vereeniging, ending the 27-month Anglo-Boer War.

.

"It's finally over." After signing, Ade gave the pen he signed to Rock as a souvenir.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Governor, you will have to truly perform your duties next." Roque's mood did not feel relaxed because the war was over, but instead became heavier.

For the provisional Transvaal government, the end of the war means that the work has just begun, and there is still much work to do next. The expeditionary force will evacuate the Transvaal in batches. This does not mean that the Transvaal

There was no garrison in Transvaal, so the Cape government sent General Hopkins to lead a colonial servant army to garrison in the Transvaal to prepare for possible unrest.

Yes, although the expeditionary force had declared the war over a year ago, and although the writing on the "Peace Agreement" had not yet been dry, the Transvaal was still in a dangerous whirlpool.

After the "Peace Agreement" is signed, the guerrillas who persist in fighting in the Cape will lay down their weapons and return to the Transvaal. The refugee camps will be gradually dismantled, and the women and children in the refugee camps will gradually return home.

The crux of the problem is that their home is gone.

Although Ade agreed to compensate the Boer farmers 3 million pounds, the 3 million pounds was obviously unable to compensate the Boers for the losses they suffered during the war, so the lawsuit was still going to be fought.

After the signing of the Peace Agreement, Roque returned to Johannesburg as quickly as possible and rushed to the No. 35 refugee camp, the largest in the Johannesburg area, that night.

There are nearly 6,000 Boers in Refugee Camp No. 35. It is the largest of the three refugee camps in Johannesburg. The three refugee camps in Johannesburg add up to a total of 11,000 refugees. They all lived before the war.

They are natives of Johannesburg, some of them are citizens of Johannesburg, and most of them are farmers around Johannesburg.

"Sir Locke, how is the situation?" Philip was also there.

"It's basically normal. The "Peace Agreement" has been signed. This refugee camp will be dismantled in a while. We need to do some preventive work first." Roque rushed back so quickly to nip problems in the bud.

"Yeah, this mess is ours now." Philip looked at the dilapidated refugee camp with a sad look on his face.

What a mess indeed!
