Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
143 Troublemaker
What really scares people is not the enemy, but the virus that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The reason why Adelaide prohibits the circulation of people is to isolate the circulation of the virus.
In the Transvaal and Orange, the epidemic in Johannesburg is the lightest, followed by Pretoria, and Bloemfontein is the worst. But Johannesburg is on the border with Bloemfontein, so Adelaide is really afraid.
Johannesburg was influenced by Bloemfontein, and like Bloemfontein, the plague was rampant.
If that happens, the situation in Johannesburg will be more serious than in Bloemfontein, because there are nearly 100,000 miners in Johannesburg. If the plague spreads among the miners, it will not only be affected in Johannesburg, but also in London due to the reduction of gold production.
Being affected is something that no one can bear.
So Rock was right. If the situation got out of control, the Johannesburg garrison and police could open fire. Even if the tragedy happened again, Johannesburg would not be affected by the plague.
But shoot!
This is also an unsolvable choice. Austin Burns and three other people have just been tried and all three were sentenced to death. This shadow hangs over all the police and garrison in Johannesburg. At the cusp of this crisis, who dares to shoot!
Therefore, the knight's warning sound is particularly sad.
In fact, everyone was very nervous. Just after the knight issued the warning, someone immediately raised his gun.
"Asshole, put down the gun, do you really want to kill me?" The sergeant was sweating profusely and yelled out loud.
"What should we do? We can't stop them if we don't shoot. If we shoot, we have to go to court. What should we do?" Some soldiers shouted with a cry. This can drive people to death.
"Calm down, William, go over and take a look." The sergeant did not dare to be careless, and the hand holding the gun was shaking.
"Charles, I don't want to contract the virus." The soldiers who called William did not dare to go. The dividing line between Kronstad and Bloemfontein was a creek. This side of the creek was heaven, and the other side of the creek was hell.
While they were talking, the person on the other side of the creek came closer and closer, finally reaching the point of sight.
In fact, there were only twenty or thirty Boers in total, including men, women, and children. Riding at the front was a police officer. If Rock was here, he would definitely recognize him. This police officer was Bobby from Wilcombe.
·Bennett.
Bobby Bennett looked pretty good, at least his police uniform was clean. When he came to the creek, Bobby Bennett reined in his horse and said hello to the cavalry: "Hey, brother,
Are you guys OK?"
"It was fine before I saw you guys." Charles finally felt relieved. His voice was loud and clear, without impurities or lack of confidence. He didn't cough when he spoke. He didn't look like a plague patient.
"Don't worry, brother, none of us are infected with the plague." Bobby Bennett smiled bitterly.
"How do you prove it?" Charles didn't dare to be careless.
Bobby Bennett was speechless. This was the biggest problem. Even if Bobby Bennett and the others were indeed not infected with the plague, Bobby Bennett and the others could not prove it.
"Brother, you also know that Wilkom's people are almost dead, and we are the only ones left. We are desperate now. As long as you are willing to take us in, we are willing to give you all the horses." Bobby Bay
Nate is helpless, this may be the last chance for these people.
Only then did Charles notice that Bobby Bennett and the others actually had hundreds of horses.
Charles knew that there was a horse trading market in Wilkham, and perhaps all the people in Wilkham who could breathe were here now.
"Sir, please let us pass. We are not infected with the plague. All those infected with the plague have died. We are normal."
"We don't want anything, we just want to live."
"Please, we don't want to die in Wilcombe, give us a way to survive."
Twenty or thirty Boers begged, the women and children were crying, and the men threw their guns on the ground to show their attitude, including Bobby Bennett.
"Please, don't wait to die, we are not bad people, we just want to live." Bobby Bennett was heartbroken, but in the face of the threat of plague, they had to do this.
Charles couldn't sit back and watch this situation, and the horse unconsciously took two steps forward.
"Sir, we can't break the rules"
"Who knows if they were infected with the plague?"
"Let's go find a doctor"
The cavalrymen also had different opinions, and no one wanted to take the risk.
"Officer, wait a moment, I'll send someone to find a doctor." Charles wanted to help. Thanks to Ziwei Hospital, there is also a doctor in Kronstad.
"Please, Warrant Officer, can you let us cross the river and wait? We really don't want to stay in the Transvaal." Bobby Bennett was frustrated with the Orange government, even if there was still a little hope,
Bobby Bennett was also reluctant to leave Wilcombe.
"Sir, don't disobey orders," a cavalryman reminded Charles.
"They seem to be fine." There are cavalrymen willing to help.
"Come here." Charles couldn't sit idly by.
"Thank you!" Bobby Bennett said with gratitude.
"Sir, you are all good people"
"God bless you."
“God bless South Africa”
The Boers burst into tears of gratitude. Just a small stream seemed to bring great comfort to their hearts. Some people burst into tears as soon as they crossed the stream. The men all burst into tears, and even Charles had red eyes.
On the same day, the situation was reported to Rock.
The cavalry could allow the Boers to enter the Transvaal, but the army did not have the right to resettle the Boers. To resettle the Boers, the Johannesburg city government still had to come forward.
The City of Johannesburg is in a difficult situation.
To accept these Boers would be to violate the orders of the Governor-General.
These Boers were not accepted. These Boers had already entered Johannesburg. The cavalry temporarily placed these Boers on the border, found them tents and doctors, and also sent them water and food. The doctors had determined
, those Boers were indeed not infected with the plague.
"We cannot accept those Boers, not only because of the order of the Governor-General, but also because of the conflicts that occurred some time ago. The horses brought by the Boers are also unknown and may cause us trouble." James, the new Minister of the Interior
Bernard strongly opposed it.
The former Secretary of the Interior, Blake Nelson, was removed from office due to a municipal engineering fraud case, and James Bernard became his successor. Following the lessons of Blake Nelson, James Bernard did not seek merit but sought no fault.
"Driving those Boers back to Wilcome is equivalent to letting them go back to Wilcome to die. Now that we have confirmed that those Boers are not infected with the plague, it is better to find a remote farm to settle them.
In extraordinary times, every human resource is very valuable." Finance Secretary Louis Barnard had a different opinion. He did not hate those Boers and the horses they brought.
After receiving a loan of 7.5 million pounds, the farms around Johannesburg were divided up. Because officials received the news in advance, many farms were purchased by officials. These officials had a huge appetite, and some of them have not even paid off yet.
Final payment.
The purchased farms cannot be abandoned. Mayor Philip has repeatedly emphasized that all farms must be developed within one year, so human resources in Johannesburg are now in short supply. Some officials even approached Rock, hoping to sell the farm to Rock at the original price, because only
Only then did Rock have enough people to develop the farm.
Some time ago, Louis Barnard also purchased a lot of farms from the city government. Now several months have passed, and there is no movement at all on the farms, so Louis Barnard is really anxious.
"Don't forget those vampires in Bloemfontein. If we take in those Boers, they will definitely cause trouble." Marcus Beaufort was still as tough as ever.
"Director, pay attention to your words," Rock reminded softly. Although everyone knew that the Boers were "vampires," it would not be good to say it so unscrupulously and spread it out.
"I was right, those Boers are damn vampires. The expeditionary force should have exiled them all to India." Marcus Beaufort insisted that he would never compromise with the Boers.
.
After the signing of the Peace Agreement, the exiled Boers also began to return to the Transvaal and Orange. These Boers were die-hard rebels who had been exiled during the war and thus missed the Peace Agreement.
After signing the compensation, now they are homeless and have no food or clothing.
When the conflict broke out some time ago, most of those who incited the Boers to go to Johannesburg had this background.
After the conflict, the Bloemfontein Police Department arrested more than 100 suspects, most of whom had been exiled during the war.
"Locke, is there any problem if we place those Boers in Johannesburg?" Philip still wanted to ask Locke's opinion. After all, Rock controlled the only violent institution in Johannesburg.
"Basically there is no problem. Those Boers are not plague patients. I know Officer Bobby Bennett. He is a pretty good guy. If the Boers in Bloemfontein are looking for trouble, then let them come to me."
"Roke." Roque is not afraid of trouble. As the police chief, Roque is the one who solves the problem.
"Very well, the Ministry of Interior is responsible for settling those Boers. Locke, you have to ensure the safety of those Boers and keep an eye on them and don't let them cause trouble for us." Philip's decision is a bit contradictory. As long as Johannesburg takes them in,
Those Boers, then those Boers are definitely going to be trouble.
Roque is not worried. Even if the Boers don't come to Roque, Roque will go to the Boers. Now is the time when the Boers come to his door. Roque has no reason not to accept it.
