The Gulf of Oman is located in a narrow and long waters between the Arabian Peninsula and the Asian continent. It is rich in hairtail fish and the wind is gentle and the waves are calm.

This is the world-famous ancient battlefield. In 1544, the newcomer Portuguese defeated the powerful Ottoman Turkey fleet here and ruled East Africa.

In 1652, the Omans of the Sultanate of Muscat drove the Portuguese out with their powerful Arab sailing fleet, making the Arabian Peninsula a land shining by Allah again.

Now, the powerful Ottoman Turkey has declined, and the arrogant Portugal has declined. The once glorious Sultanate has lie on the pride and dignity of the past, completely ignoring the huge changes in the entire world.

"Discover the Sultanate fleet! Direction northwest, distance 9300, quantity, bagara type five!"

"The enemy fleet's arrow-shaped rushing forward, with a speed of 8 knots and a relative speed of 14 knots!"

"Admiral order, Lady's name, New code name, Future number to fight, and implement interspersive tactics!"

"Pierce Attis Deputy Admiral Pierce Attis is coming to the ship! Raising the Colored Pupil Skeleton Flag! The Lady takes over as the commander of the front enemy!"

"Strike!"

The Lady, Future and New Student Code, rushed out, and the VIPs gathered on Valkyrie's deck, holding their sight glasses and whispering excitedly.

Time has advanced to 1785, and today is January 4th. If the VIPs were still regretting that they could not reunite with their families during Christmas, now they have begun to thank God for joining them in this wonderful and exciting "game".

The Drake Chamber of Commerce showed its fangs.

In the early morning of December 26, the special service formation bombarded Gairel, and the bombardment lasted for 7 hours. The Portuguese injured ships Saints and Ortega were bombarded into pieces on the dock.

During the bombardment, Shek of Gehelil sent an envoy to negotiate with Lorraine on the only warship in the port and the Sambug sailboat with a unique stern. So Lorraine sent Lef to hang the envoy's head on the king's flag of the Mascott Sultanate and returned to the shore.

The war begins.

On December 28, the special service formation hunting east along the coastline was attacked by the first attack of the Muscat Sultanate fleet. The two sides fought in the waters of Masila Island. Four Bagala-type Arab sailboats were sunk and seven escaped.

On December 29, Drake's stormtrooper occupied Masilla Island, where Shek was hanged, and 828 natives were captured and became slaves.

On January 1, the logistics supply fleet organized by Eddie in Cape Town arrived in Masilla, with a total of one Bagh-type sailboat and three Brigentine-typed special service formation full of ammunition.

On January 2, the special service formation bypassed Cape Had, defeated the Muscat Sultanate fleet, sank one Bagala type, captured two, and sank. The formation shelled the important Sultanate city of Sur, and the city of Sur became a sea of ​​fire.

On January 3, the Sultanate launched a retaliatory night attack, with a total of seven Bagala ships. Valkyrie's single ship dispersed the enemy's assault formation. The Lady led the fleet to encircle from the outside, sank three ships, and the remaining enemies retreated.

On January 4, the formation had reached the central Gulf of Oman, only 160 kilometers away from Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate, and was attacked.

The high-density combat made the sailors of the special service formation familiar with the characteristics of the Bagala Arabian sailboat. This sailboat is 30 to 50 meters long, has low freeboards, and is far lower in number and caliber than the Garen sailboat of the same level as the European Galen sailboat, which is similar to the Bagala configuration.

Her style-friendly design is very interesting. The tall and large main mast is equipped with relatively short foremast and rear mast, all of which use Latin sails, that is, traditional Arabian spinnakers as sail installations.

This kind of sail suit has not changed much after hundreds of years.

Because the Arabs, like the East, missed the era of great geographical discovery, their nautical history rarely dealt with long-term offshore extremes, and there were complex airflows near the coastline, which made them pay more attention to their performance in headwinds and changing wind directions when designing ships, and would not consider strong and stable transocean trade winds.

It is also because of this that the Arab sailing ship is smart and steady, with a low upper limit and high lower limit speed, and its explosive power is extremely weak.

Lorraine made full use of their shortcomings. Every time at the beginning of the battle, she would quickly approach her subordinates, and intersperse and double-team in the opponent's ship group.

As long as it is close to 100 meters, the ships of the Sultanate can hardly wait for death under the firepower and defense of the ruling class of Valkyri and the Lady, and even escape is a sad luxury.

The same is true for today's battle.

The Lady was in the center, and the Future, and the New Code, were on both sides of the wings. Three ships attacked in an arrow-shaped manner, rushed into the middle of the formation of the Sultanate fleet in the waters about 6 kilometers in front of Valkyrie, and double-teamed the two Bagala types.

The opponent's formation is in chaos.

According to the traditional formation, Bagala fell at the far end and wanted to step forward to reinforce, but after pouring out a round of ammunition, the Lady left the battle formation and used its own high speed to block the opponent's reinforcement intention.

In the war zone, the Future and the New Code attacked two Bagala-type ships. One of them was severely damaged by the noble lady, emitting blue smoke and staggering.

Outside the war zone, the Lady Maid fights three ships alone in a wandering posture. The young people use their superb skills to constantly prove their strength. In the scene, the Lady Maid has steadily gained the upper hand.

What a wonderful picture...

Mr. Melidori of the Netherlands was very excited, his arms spread out, and his face flushed: "Ah! What a wonderful picture!"

Mr. Monbadi of Spain has become a real good friend to the empty Dutchman, and immediately joked: "Civilization spreads to the wilderness, I guess you want to say this."

"Yes, yes, civilization spreads to the wilderness, what a wonderful picture! God, the whites are saving this world, but those savages always overestimate themselves and want to refuse. Teach them a lesson! President Drake, teach them a lesson!"

Lorraine raised her wine glass to pay tribute to Melidori from afar.

"The order is to entrust the Immortal Flower, Cosmos, Dendrobium, and Xiangyang Flower surround the flanks. There is no need to pursue the injury of the enemy and attack the enemy. It is important to protect yourself and block the retreat."

"Yes!" Adere, who took over Bartow's position, beat his chest with his legs and twisted his body to convey the order quickly.

Mr. Baker, not far away, came over curiously: "Mr. President, I have never seen you block the retreat in the previous naval battles. Why this time..."

Emmons laughed: "Muscat is so close to you. If we sink an enemy ship here, we can spend less time in Muscat. Mr. President, am I right?"

"Mr. Investigator is worthy of being a senior staff officer in the Admiralty. My tricks are completely invisible to you."

Only then did Baker, who was not good at fighting, understand.

He licked his lips: "I heard that the Bagala type is an excellent Arab warship. Although their technological development is a bit slow, these ships have remarkable points in terms of warships, whether in terms of firepower, speed or defense. They defeated the vast Portugal more than a hundred years ago, which made the navies of all countries very alert. We never thought that they were so vulnerable."

"Do you think the Sultanate is really vulnerable?" Emmons once again showed his signature mockery, "Listen to the sound of cannons in the distance, the noble gentleman, eighteen pounds, twenty-four pounds, they are not weaker than any African force, but the President in front of you, he is somewhat unexpectedly powerful."

Baker opened his mouth in surprise: "Speaking of this, Mr. Investigator, how did your mysterious investigation go? I remember that the punishment for illegal assembly seems to be quite heavy, confiscation of illegal armed forces, a fine of three or five times the value?"

"You are far more proficient in law than war." Emmons spread his hands regretfully, "but I don't have the ability to get the President to pay. He did exceed the limit and used more than eighteen pounds of artillery, but these artillery were not on the non-civilian list."

"There is such a thing in this world?"

"The twenty-four-pound short cannon of Boston specialty is the kind of cannon that the President put on the upper deck. It was the invention of those country bumpkins, with great power and excellent fire rate, but its positioning was too awkward. Only pirate ships and privateers could truly play their value, which was useless to our warships."

"I have started writing the investigation report. It happened that you were on the boat this time. If you have free time, I hope you can correct me a little."

"I? Correct?" Baker wanted to ask what he, a man who knew nothing about weapons, had to correct a military investigation report, but Emmons blocked his words and completely completed the persuasion in a few words.

"The Royal Company is a colonial institution exclusively to Your Majesty. My sir, Your Majesty has always hoped that the manager he chose would have the talent of a governor. Considering that this report will eventually be presented to Your Majesty, if it happens to have your signature on it..."

"The company just bought a 56-carat sapphire a few days ago, which is very beautiful." Baker shook his wine glass with a red face, "Mr. Investigator, do you like gems?"
