0429 Soldiers on the city

On February 16, 1785, Milani Tidal Pier.

This small double plank road marina attached to Milani Castle has the purest view. 180 degrees is the cliff and 180 degrees is the sea. If you expand the concept of cliff and sea to the grass and the floating on the sea, standing here, it is almost impossible for you to find a third thing.

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

It has a lot of numbers, a little large in scale, noisy and enthusiastic, and even the tall castle becomes sad in front of them, losing the pride of the former pride of the stairstone rock.

They are a joint fleet composed of the Royal British Navy African Fleet and the Cape Colonial Fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The fleet flagship is the Royal Navy's 74-Gate Third-class Battleship HMS. The Fleet Admiral is an old acquaintance of Lorraine, a close friend of Nelson, the captain of the Leafland Lion, and currently the deputy admiral of the African Fleet, Major General William Cornwallis.

Vero Baker and Chris Emmons took less than a month to invite an army to destroy the country from the southernmost end of the human world.

The joint fleet consists of 27 battleships, including 1 third-class battleship, 4 fourth-class ships, 7 fifth-class ships, 7 traditional Brigs, 2 Bermuda large Brigentina and 5 Bermuda large Sloops of 30-meter-level Bermuda large guns, a total of 886 types of naval guns, and nearly 6,000 officers and soldiers on board.

In addition, the ship also carried 18 companies of the Royal British Marine Corps, 1 regiment of the Cape Colonial Garage Force in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, 1 regiment of independent artillery, a total of 3,900 marine soldiers, and 150 new land artillery 6 to 12 pounds.

And this is far from all the fleet.

In fact, in order to shorten the assembly time, the Joint Fleet set out from Cape Town and collected the patrol fleets of the two countries scattered on the coastline with the large Bermuda expressway as the front-wheel drive. As early as February 4, it had arrived in Cape Asel on the Somalian Peninsula.

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

But in order to fully utilize the power of the new land cannons on the ship, Major General Cornwallis temporarily changed his marching plan.

He took a huge fleet from Cape Assel into the Gulf of Aden, and took the risk of mobilizing a total of 8,000 flowering bullets from the British and Dutch colonies by sea and land...

Six Bermuda Sloops, responsible for transporting ammunition, were abandoned during this short voyage. Another Brig type of the Royal Navy was implicated. In the end, only 4,300 flowering bullets were able to land in Milani, and the non-war losses were shocking.

But Major General Cornwallis still succeeded.

Because even if there is only this number, as long as it is used properly, the artillery soldiers are confident that they will burn Muscat to white ground in February when there is little rain. The only difference is that it will burn it all at once or in several pieces.

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

When Emmons asked Lorraine for his merits, he even said that if he could give him two more months, he would be confident that he would exchange Muscat's expected returns to the Cape colony on the entire West Coast, and use this to convince the Netherlands to officially draw a cape with Britain to rule.

The Europeans had begun to plan for great victory, while the Omani's mood was inexplicably complicated.

Milani Castle has never had the same military appearance as it is now.

On the one hand, Drake Chamber.

After the Dutch Volunteers in Melidori arrived, the Chamber of Commerce unexpectedly withdrew from the land in full swing. All employees returned to the ship, leaving only a few people including Lorraine, Pierce, Carmen, Henna in the castle.

On the other hand, the powerful Anglo-Dutch coalition forces.

The Marines alone have nearly 4,000 people, occupying a huge camp in Dongyan. The continuous tents have rewritten the colors of the mountains.

Roy Hassadi was in a regiment with his National Defense Forces.

This regiment had more than 1,200 people left after the Battle of Milani. It originally occupied the fort, but now it is still in the fort.

New Government Sudan Guard.

Their navy had 1,000 men, and used four Bagala to take over the stairway pier that Lorraine gave out.

Their army has only 800 people, and the soldiers are from refugees. At this time, they are doing the most basic queue exercises with the maritime commuters and old land cannons sold to them by Lorraine. The instructor leader is Barto. Like arms, hiring instructors also costs money and has a high premium.

Dutch Volunteers.

The Volunteers with only 400 people and six guns replaced Drake's rooftop, and their scale is not worth mentioning in the current Milani defense zone. However, Lorraine has made it open to the new government that the Dutch Volunteers are only the vanguard, and behind them are the Spanish Volunteers and the French Volunteers. They will eventually form another form of "private coalition" and become the only foreign allies that the new government can use as cannon fodder.

There is also a non-war force inside and outside the castle with a total population of nearly 3,000, and they are the refugees who have bred the New Sudan Guard.

The street fighting in Muscat became more and more chaotic, and the vast army destroyed the households and families. The Muscats were forced to escape from their homes, fled to Liaman, to neighboring provinces, and more so they fled to the two neutral castles not far from the town, and always strictly guarded the two neutral castles.

Jalari has Muscat's heroic bloodline, and they have consistently protected the lives of Muscats from the long and unexplorable past.

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

History, and reality.

In comparison, reality seems to be more dependent on history, not to mention that Milani also has a little king with the name of Said and the surname Sultan.

The little sultan brings food to the refugee camp to visit his people every day. Many of the refugees recognized him as the shy Sixth Prince. Legend has it that he received the revelation of Allah in Milani and would save the suffering people from the abyss of this war.

To be honest, there are some similar legends around the princes, but only Milani's little sultan can give people a completely different sense of reality.

He provided food to the refugees and gave up the high walls of their homes. The beloved Marshal Manzeri was loyal to him, and the Bagara Guard, who survived the war, was loyal to him.

Everyone knows that the Hassad family is the representative of Imam, and the Imam represents God's favor. Hassad's choice is just like the choice of Allah.

And white people!

No one knew where so many white men armed to the teeth emerged overnight. They were obviously invaders, carrying artillery, swords and guns, and riding on huge warships, ready to rob the rich Muscat all over.

But the refugees saw the little Sultan standing on the city tower and scolding them and letting them stay. Then they really stopped on Mount Haral, camping, doing nothing, buying, selling and hiring, and being fooled.

Is this really a white man who came from the invasion? Refugees feel that they are obedient like tamed wild dogs...

Before we knew it, a belief quietly spread in the refugee camp, just like Christ to God, and this belief advocates worshipping the greatness of the walking on earth like God.

The name of walking, Sultan Said...
