Chapter 430

February 16, 1785, Mirani terrace pier.

The double plank road small wharf attached to Milani castle has the purest vision. 180 degrees is the cliff and 180 degrees is the sea. If you expand the concept of cliff and sea to the vegetation on the cliff and the floating on the sea, you can hardly find the third thing standing here.

But these days, things floating on the sea are really not suitable to be merged into any category in any way.

It is a little large in number and scale. It is noisy and hot. Even the Castle above them has become gloomy in front of them and lost the pride of proudly standing mountains and rocks in the past.

They are a joint fleet composed of the African fleet of the Royal Navy of Great Britain and the Cape colonial fleet of the kingdom of the Netherlands. The flagship of the fleet is the 74 class III battleship HMS Nu Tao of the Royal Navy. The fleet commander is an old acquaintance of Lorraine, a close friend of Nelson, the former captain of the prairie lion, and now Major General William Cornwallis, deputy commander of the African fleet.

It took Vero Baker and Chris Emmons less than a month to invite an armed force to destroy the country from the southernmost tip of the human world.

The joint fleet consists of 27 warships, including 1 class III battleship, 4 class IV ships, 7 class V ships, 7 traditional Briggs, 2 Bermuda brigantines and 5 Bermuda slups of 30m class. There are 886 naval guns of various types and nearly 6000 officers and soldiers on board.

In addition, the ship also carries 18 companies of the Royal British Marine Corps, 1 regiment of the garrison of the Cape Colony of the kingdom of the Netherlands, 1 regiment of independent artillery, a total of 3900 Marines and 150 new 6-12 pound marine guns.

And this is far from all of the fleet.

In fact, in order to shorten the assembly time, the joint fleet set out from Cape Town and took the Baimu large high-speed ship as the precursor to collect the patrol fleets of the two countries scattered along the coastline. As early as February 4, it had arrived at Cape Assel on the Somali peninsula.

At that time, the fleet was larger than it is now, and the speed of travel was more than three days faster than Lorraine's fastest speed.

However, in order to give full play to the power of the new land guns on board, major general Cornwallis temporarily changed his marching plan.

He took a huge fleet from Cape Assel into the Gulf of Aden and ventured to mobilize a full 8000 flowering bombs from British and Dutch colonies by sea and land transfer

Six 30 meter Bermuda slups responsible for transporting ammunition caught fire and were abandoned during this short voyage. Another Royal Navy brig type was involved. Finally, only 4300 flowering bombs were able to land in Milani, and the non war losses were shocking.

But major general Cornwallis still succeeded.

Because even if only this amount is used properly, the artillery are sure enough to burn Muscat to white ground in February with little rain. The difference is whether it is burned at one time or in several pieces.

The charm of colonizing a second rate power is so irresistible.

When Emmons asked Lorraine for credit, he even said that if he could be given two more months, he was fully confident that he would exchange Muscat's expected income for the Cape Colony on the whole west coast, so as to persuade the Netherlands to officially draw a cape of good hope with Britain.

The Europeans have begun to plan a great victory, while the mood of the Omani people with the coalition is indescribably complex.

Milani castle has never had such a prosperous military capacity as it is now.

On the one hand, Drake chamber of Commerce.

After the arrival of the Dutch volunteers in medori, the chamber of Commerce unexpectedly withdrew from the land, and all employees returned to the ship. Only a few people such as Lorraine, pierce, Carmen and Haina were left in the castle.

On the other hand, the powerful British Dutch coalition.

This unit has nearly 4000 Marines only, occupying a huge camp in Dongyan, and the continuous tents have changed the color of the mountains.

Roy hassadi is with his National Guard regiment.

This regiment left more than 1200 people after Milani I. It used to occupy the fort and is still in the fort.

The new government, the Sudanese guard.

Their navy, with 1000 men, took over the stairway wharf let out by Lorraine with four bagala.

Their army has only 800 soldiers from refugees. At the moment, they are doing the most basic queue drill with the maritime commuter and old land guns sold by Lorraine. The head of the instructor is Bator. Like arms, hiring instructors also requires money, and the premium is high.

Dutch volunteers.

The volunteers with only 400 people and six guns took over the position of Drake rooftop, and their own scale is not worth mentioning in today's Milani defense area. However, Lorraine has been open to the new government. The Dutch volunteers are only the vanguard. Behind them are the Spanish volunteers and the French volunteers. They will eventually form another form of "private coalition" and become the only foreign ally that the new government can use as cannon fodder.

There is also a non war force with a total population of nearly 3000 inside and outside the castle. They are the refugees who gave birth to the new Sudanese guard.

The street fighting in Muscat became more and more chaotic, and the great military disaster in Ukraine destroyed households and demolished their homes. Muscats were forced to flee from their homes, to Liman, to neighboring provinces, and more to the two neutral castles not far from the cities and towns.

Jalali has the heroic blood of Muscat. They have always guarded the life of Muscat people from the long and unexplained past.

Milani has peace, food, shelter and the most valuable job opportunities in the war.

History, and reality.

In contrast, reality seems to be more reliable than history, not to mention Milani has a little king named said and surnamed Sudan.

The little Sultan brings food to the refugee camp to visit his people every day. Many of the refugees recognize him as the shy and shy six prince. It is said that he got the Enlightenment of Allah in Milani and will save the suffering people from the abyss of the war.

It is said that there are some similar legends around several princes, but only Milani's little Sultan can give people a completely different sense of reality.

He provided the refugees with satisfactory food and gave them the high wall of their dwelling. The beloved marshal manzeri was loyal to him, and the bagala guard who survived the war was loyal to him.

It is well known that the hasadi family is the representative of the imam, and the Imam represents the family of God. The choice of hasadi is like the choice of Allah.

And white people!

No one knows where so many white men armed to the teeth emerged overnight. They were clearly invaders, armed with guns, knives and guns, riding on huge warships, ready to plunder the rich Muscat.

But the refugees saw the little Sultan standing on the tower, scolding them and letting them stay. Then they really stopped on the Harar mountain, camped, did nothing, bought and hired, and the children and the old were not deceived.

Is this really a white man from the invasion? The refugees felt that they were obedient like tamed wild dogs

Unknowingly, a belief spread quietly in the refugee camps, just as Christ was to God. This belief advocates the great walk on earth as God.

In the name of walking, Sultan said
