Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 431: The camel has 2 hind hooves

At the end of February, to be precise, on the afternoon of February 25, when the brightly colored flag of the Kingdom of Spain jumped out of the sea level of Milani, the Sultanate invading coalition organized by Lorraine was finally officially full.

   The heads of the various forces gathered in the afternoon and first determined the official name of the coalition... The Sultanate Peacekeeping Coalition... The name was proposed by Lorraine, and it was obvious.

   After the name was determined, the members of the coalition forces unanimously elected His Majesty Said Bin Sultan, who was only six years old, as the commander of the coalition forces, with Major General Cornwallis and Marshal Manzeri as deputy commanders.

  Major General Cornwallis proposed that Lorraine be the chief of staff of the coalition forces, responsible for coordinating and dispatching the various armies.

   Lorraine simply refused. After several discussions, he finally accepted the position of a general coordinator who did not even record the public documents, but the responsibility was still to liaise and coordinate with all parties.

  In the second hour after the establishment of the coalition forces, the first military meeting was held non-stop.

  The reason for the urgency is logistics.

   Even without considering the Anglo-Dutch sailors and Chamber of Commerce sailors floating on the sea, Milani has now gathered tens of thousands of people, and the number is still increasing at an average rate of 70 per day.

   These people want to eat and drink, and they want accommodation. The civil rights fighter and the pioneer of public health, Ms. Carmen Xavier, have won them the right to drink boiled water and keep warm.

All the logistical burdens rest on the shoulders of the new government, and for the time being, there is only one supplier of the new government. The Drake Chamber of Commerce has demonstrated the ability to be praised in terms of the quality and quantity of supplies. The problem is expensive.

   Things are expensive, very expensive, very expensive...

   At this stage, the financial support of the new government comes entirely from the future budget, and every white bar behind it is pledged to pledge the future tax revenue of the Sultanate.

Manzeri’s think tank has calculated that if the start of the war is delayed until the end of March, the new government will completely become a worker in the Drake Chamber of Commerce in the next year. This will be fatal to the prestige of the Sultan of Said. Blow.

  The war must begin immediately, and it must end in a short time!

   With such a mindset of the same enemy, the first military meeting of the coalition forces progressed extremely enthusiastically.

  Manzeri speaks first.

He proposed that the Volunteer Army, the National Defense Forces and the Sudanese Guards advance to the palace in a font style. The Volunteer Army is the pioneer of the whole army. The British and Dutch forces moved to the west rock of the dock in advance to form a standoff with Jalali Castle to prevent the castle from bombarding the coalition attack. route.

This offensive plan that was defeated in World War I was fully supported by Roy. Cornwallis believed that Manzeri was kicked in the head by a camel. Volunteers... They only asked the new government to pledge the soldiers' casualties for the next two years. tax.

   Plan 1 aborted.

Cornwallis proposed that the coalition forces first raided Jalali Castle, and used the National Defense and Sudan Guards’ familiarity with the Harald Mountains to enter the mountain overnight. The Anglo-Dutch combined fleet is responsible for attracting the attention of the castle at sea, and the Volunteer Army and Fleet Marines contain the direction of the palace. Three princes.

This offensive plan for a steady victory was fully supported by the Volunteer Army. Manzeri claimed that the camel had two hind feet. Roy slapped on Cornwallis’ new uniform and almost received Cornwallis’s throw. White gloves.

   Plan 2 aborted.

Roy proposed the integration of coalition forces, with the under-trained Volunteer Army and the Sudan Guard as the front line, and the Defence Guard and the Anglo-Dutch coalition forces as the back line. The contact with Riaman was opened in the artillery control area of ​​Mirani Castle. Imams should be mobilized. The jihadist militia of less than 30,000 people used the dignified force to support the little sultan to the throne.

   How do you say this plan... Lorraine agrees very much, except for Lorraine, everyone disagrees.

   Plan 3 aborted.

  The right to speak thus fell into Lorraine's hands.

   Lorraine frowned and thought for a long time, and said softly: "Little Sultan is six years old this year. It will take ten years for the little Sultan to be in charge at the age of sixteen, and twelve years to be in charge at the age of eighteen. This is a very long time."

   "I want to know the plan of the new government. Are you planning to establish a constitutional monarchy, or are you planning to establish a life-long strong government to replace Sudan to exercise power?"

   This question is equivalent to asking Manzeri if he wants to become a dictator.

   Manzeri was silent.

   A few minutes later, he whispered: "If a life-long government is established, I will retire."

   "That will be easy." Lorraine let out a long sigh of relief, "Marshal, I think the little sultan needs a capable regent before he takes power, what do you think?"

  ……

   In the city defense system of Muscat, the two castles of Jalalli and Mirani play an incomparably important role.

   Their value is embodied in coastal defense on the one hand. The location of the east and west rocks makes Muscat’s coastal defense zone much larger than the width of Muscat Bay, and there is almost no possibility of beaching and landing.

On the other hand, the height of the Harald Mountains turned them into the commanding heights of the city defense. The artillery fans of the two castles completely covered the entire city, with only the palace and the last support of the palace, backed by Matru in the Harald North Mountains. The castle is independent of the outside.

   The small group of troops could not pose a threat to the Sudanese Guards stationed in the palace, and the large troops could not bypass the artillery defense zones of the two castles and unscrupulously deploy troops outside the palace.

   Therefore, to attack the palace, you must first take down two castles, but the two castles are said to never fall.

   In Lorraine's eyes, this is simply the Iserlen paradox that Yang Weili faces.

   On February 26, the Minister of the Prime Minister of the new government, the commander of the Sudanese Guard, and Marshal Rubyari Ze Manzeri of the Sultanate’s navy and army went to Jalali Castle alone.

On February 27, Jalali announced his support for the legality of His Majesty Said bin Sultan to take over as the head of the Sultanate. Jalali Castle was opened, and General Roy Hasadi led the National Defense Forces and joined the British and Dutch forces. The Allied Dutch Regiment settled in and disarmed the castle.

On February 28th, Sultan Said met with his eldest brother and pardoned Prince Ella Manh under the witness of the new government officials, European allies, and the head of the Muscat region Metroy bin Hasadi. Regent for the Sultanate, concurrently as the Prime Minister of the new government, acting as king.

   In the early morning of March 1, the two castles fired in unison.

The coalition forces, led by the Second National Guard Corps and the Volunteer Army, advanced in two directions and launched a mighty pincer offensive towards the Alam Palace. The external defense line of the pseudo-Sultan Celis regime collapsed within 3 hours, and the coalition troops approached the city. Surround the palace.

   At that time, there were at least 800 well-trained and well-equipped old Sudanese Guard sergeants in the palace~lightnovelpub.net~ There were no fewer than 1,000 temporary auxiliary troops.

   Facing the high and thick palace wall, with the European army's ability to attack the fortress, it seems that there is only a long-term siege to conquer the palace.

   Lorraine proposed to use blooming bombs to cover the royal hunting grounds in the palace.

  In the afternoon, the old Sudanese guard announced that it would support the legal rule of the Sultan of Said and the regency of Ella Mankh anyway. The pseudo-Sultan Celis was injured by a stray bullet in the coup and died three days later. The Sudan pardoned him.

   On March 2nd, the coalition forces launched an attack on Matrou Castle. The twin prince rebels refused anyway, but also beheaded the messengers to show their determination. The Independent Artillery Regiment immediately launched a bombardment on the castle.

  The bombardment lasted 4 hours. A total of 3,600 shots fell on the small stone castle. The castle fell and the defenders were destroyed. There were 679 people in the army and 842 people mixed together. Only one cook was able to survive this scorching flame.

   This tragedy was quickly swept into the garbage dump of memory.

   On March 3rd, Sultan Said entered the palace and took over the golden scepter of kingship from the head of Muscat.

   The regent of Ella Mankh proclaimed the government and announced that the rebellion was calmed down, and Muscat was completely lifted from the state of war.

   He called on the displaced refugees to return to their hometowns, and announced a total of 17 benevolent policies such as tax cuts, relief, and construction, promising to bring people a better life.

   With this clangorous promise, the war came to an end...
