Chapter 14 Not Long Eyes
(The contract has been sent out, brothers can vote with confidence. In the new book period, the support of brothers is very much needed. Do you dare to use the ticket to hit the fish head and update the level -)
The Cape Town Immigration Bureau is right next to the dock. New immigrants can quickly go through the naturalization procedures when they go ashore, and then become formal Cape Town people. Compared with the troublesome immigration procedures in later generations, the procedures are outrageous.
In just ten minutes, Rock completed all registrations and officially became a Cape Town native.
After naturalization, the most direct benefit is that according to the regulations of the Cape Town Police Department, Rock's monthly salary will increase to five pounds from next month. Although this is still twice as low as the British, it is a huge difference compared to the previous monthly salary of 1.2 pounds.
"Locke, can I become Cape Town nationality?" Rocke did not touch Anton, but successfully moved Kunale. Most Indian policemen have become Cape Town people, and Indians do not have the strong rural complex as strong as Chinese.
This is a fact. India and the Republic in the 21st century were the two most populous countries in the world. Both countries have a large number of students studying abroad. The difference is that many Chinese people choose to return to China to serve after completing their studies. Once Indians go abroad, they will try their best to break away from any relationship with India.
The same is true for Chinese and Indians in Cape Town. Many Chinese just need the police job to earn money and will still have to return to the Qing Dynasty in the future. However, few Indian policemen want to return to India, and many of them have become fixed residents of Cape Town.
"Cape Town is not a country and has no nationality. I just registered as a fixed resident of Cape Town and have the qualification to settle down in Cape Town. If you want to do this, of course you can do it too." When he was not angry, Rock was still very kind. Rock was willing to help Kunaler's problem. After all, he was a colleague and there was no deep hatred between them.
Pooh!
There is a deep hatred, and Rock will never forget that when Rock needed him the most, Kunal left Rock and ran away alone, so Rock really wants to change a partner now. Li De is good. The young man is obedient and eye-catching. At least when Rock is in danger, he can hand over his back to Li De with confidence.
"Then I will ask for leave when I look back, and I will also become a permanent resident of Cape Town." Kunale couldn't wait, turned around and went back to the police station to ask for leave.
This is the difference. It is also a private matter. Rock did it by the way when he was working, but Kunale had to ask for leave alone.
It can be considered that Rock is not divided between public and private, but in Cape Town, where the police force is increasingly tight, every police force is very important. Even if it can be done in ten minutes, it has to be taken out for a whole day alone. Really, if the superiors cannot see it, they are unable to control it? Many times, people are sentenced to "death punishment" without realizing it. Rock can guarantee that if Kunale takes leave, then Kunale will never have a day to stand out at the Cape Town Police Station.
Of course, Rock would not remind Kunal that if you ask for leave, Rock could apply for a new partner. Anyway, the British assigned an Indian policeman to every Chinese policeman just to facilitate communication. However, Rock had no problems with English, so naturally there were no communication barriers.
Back at the police station, Kunale went to take leave, and Rock also went to find Henry Matilda to try to apply for a new partner.
Henry Matilda was receiving a middle-aged woman in the office. With Rock's rich experience in dealing with foreigners, she could barely hear that the woman was using Italian, but Rock didn't know Italian either, so she couldn't help.
"God, can you send someone to help me and tell me what this person is saying-" Henry Matilda was already desperate. Cape Town has not had the luxury of equiping the police station with Italian translations, and even few people in Cape Town understand Italian.
Italian is Latin and English is Germanic, so the difference is very big, and it is different in roots. There are dozens of languages in more than a dozen Western European countries, and even English is divided into English and American, so language is an important factor affecting people's communication.
"Hello, can you use other languages? For example, English or French?" Rock tried to communicate with the woman, thanking her previous foreign trade experience, several major languages, Rock could at least say hello to others, which was specially practiced.
"Locke, can you understand what she is saying?" Henry Matilda was very surprised. As a knowledgeable British man, Henry Matilda didn't know what a woman was saying, but Rocke could stumble and say hello to the woman, which subverted Henry Matilda's perception of Chinese.
Of course, what Henry Matilda calls "a wide knowledge" is only relative. For most Chinese, Henry Matilda can be considered knowledgeable, but for Rock, Henry Matilda's contacts are similar to those of the country bumpkins. With data statistics, the frequency of people receiving messages in the Internet era is equivalent to a year of the ancients, so Henry Matilda's knowledge is really nothing to Rock.
"Little bit, I can only do this." Rock was helpless. If the woman didn't know other languages, Rock had no choice.
"It's great. Finally someone can understand what I'm talking about. Isn't there an Italian translation in your police station?" The woman also breathed a sigh of relief, and the last sentence was said in French.
Compared to Italian, French was much simpler, and Henry Matilda immediately became furious: "You know French? Then why don't you use French?"
"You didn't ask." The woman was very aggressive and obviously didn't care about Henry Matilda, the little sheriff.
"F***!" Henry Matilda made a silent lip and did not curse. Women who can show up in public these days are not ordinary people. Looking at the clothes this woman wears, she knows that her family must be well-off. Henry Matilda can't afford to offend those noble people.
"Sheriff, I'm going to take a whole day off, and I'm going to become a Cape Town nationality." Kunal finally found the gap and immediately made a request.
"Get out! Who told you that Cape Town is a country? It's obvious that things can be done in ten minutes. Do you need a whole day? Since you want to rest so much, go to guard the warehouse and disappear from me immediately." Henry Matilda finally found the punching bag. It deserves the bad luck of Kunaler, a blind guy. Henry Matilda was angry and couldn't afford to offend the noble lady, so he vented his anger.
The squirting of the head and the poor Kunale was blown away. The patrolman at least had a chance to make money. The custodian was locked up and reselling supplies would have to be shot. The British were never ruthless in this regard.
