Chapter 63: Capture the Zanzibar Palace

Chapter 63 Conquering the Zanzibar Palace

Passed, a hasty fight.

The Zanzibar army lost its combat effectiveness. In the palace, the East African colonial army captured hundreds of people, and other Zanzibar soldiers fled around the city of Dar es Salaam, unable to continue to resist.

Felix led his troops into the banquet hall of Zanzibar, and the ministers of Zanzibar met him.

Three minutes ago.

"Your Excellency in power, ministers, something is wrong! The Germans have come in, General Abdullah has been captured alive, and now the Germans are arresting people everywhere." The maid ran into the hall in a panic.

"What? How is it possible! How many of them are there, how could they come in so quickly? Are the kingdom's troops all stupid asses? They can't even resist for ten minutes!" Bhagash bin Said's complexion changed drastically.

According to Bagash bin Said’s own vision, he should assemble the national army by himself, then remove the Germanic people in Tanga, and finally cut off the communication between the East African colonies and the sea, and force the Germanic people to surrender.

Because it was the first day of the coup d'état, Bagash bin Said was going to recruit troops from Zanzibar tomorrow, which was already very fast. After all, he knew that Mlandizi, the closest East African colony to Zanzibar (The first town) has more than 100 miles of land. According to the Zanzibar army's own marching speed, it would take two days at the fastest to reach it.

What's more, the East African colonies want to send troops, and there are people expelled from the port of Dar es Salaam going back to pass information, and it will take time to assemble the army.

Bhagash bin Said originally estimated that it would take three and a half days for the Germans in East Africa to send troops at the fastest, but Bazel and others were driven away at noon, and the East African colonial army came over at night. They flew Did you come here?

As for the more than 200 Germanic soldiers outside Dar es Salaam, he never imagined that Felix would be so courageous.

"Your Excellency, I don't know how many people there are. It's already a mess outside, but our people must have been defeated." The maid replied in a panic.

"How is this possible..." Bagash bin Said became in a trance, and he collapsed on the seat weakly, falling into deep doubts.

The ministers who heard the news were not surprised but happy. Finance Minister Ali suppressed the joy in his heart, and turned his head to signal to the ministers around him.

The others understood, and they slowly moved closer to Baghash bin Said.

"Catch this traitor!" Ali shouted.

More than a dozen ministers swarmed up and pressed Bagash bin Said on the chair with their fat bodies.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel? I am in power in Zanzibar!" Bagash bin Said, who was awakened by Ali's sound, instantly woke up. Before he could react, a dozen mountains of meat crushed him Stop, can't move an inch.

"Hmph, I've tolerated you for a long time for the traitors and thieves who dare to speak wild words!" Ali said disdainfully.

"That's right, Bagash bin Saeed, the moment you staged a coup d'etat, I expected that you would not end well." The foreign minister said.

"We are just waiting for the opportunity. Do we really think that we are as wise and powerful as His Majesty Sultan Majid bin Said? I only blame you for not seeing your true face earlier, so that His Majesty Sultan suffered such a catastrophe..."

Ministers, you have one sentence, and I have sprayed Bagash bin Said for nothing. There is no promise this morning.

"Your country's army is here. We have been waiting so hard! I don't know what to call you." Ali pretended to be excited, and took Felix's hand, as if he was about to cry.

Felix can't be fixed by the "meatball" in front of him! He pulled out his hand in disgust, and said, "You can just call me Felix, and I am your enemy. How can you expect the enemy to invade your country!"

"Your country reclaimed the land in East Africa. We, the Sultanate of Zanzibar, don't say that we will do our best, but we can also say that we will help if we can. Didn't even Tanga provide it to your country? What a great friendship this is!" Ali boasted nastyly, and even moved himself to wipe away the non-existent tears at the corners of his eyes.

Felix was embarrassed by Ali's exaggerated performance and words. How could he, a Prussian old man, pass through this scene.

Seeing Felix's embarrassment, Bazel hurriedly stood up and said to Ali, the Minister of Finance of the Sultanate of Zanzibar: "Your Excellency Ali, do you still remember me? I am the liaison officer of the East African Colony in Dar es Salaam Bazel."

"Mr. Bazel, of course I remember you. We met in the palace back then, and Mr. Yarman led the team. Speaking of which, Mr. Bazel, Mr. Yarman, don't know what's wrong?" Ali approached road.

"Mr. Yarman is very good, I thank you for your concern on his behalf, but Mr. Ali, your country should first explain what happened today!" Bazel said angrily.

"Mr. Bazel, you must have some understanding of today's events. This is not the fault of our Sultanate of Zanzibar! It is all because of this bastard, Bagash bin Said, who imprisoned Majid bin Saeed. Your Majesty Sultan Saeed, the tandem army has controlled us, which is why it has caused some troubles for your country." Ali explained.

"His Majesty Sultan Majid bin Saeed and we are both supporters of your country."

Bazel interrupted: "Okay, you can't be cleared of your responsibility because of what Bhagash bin Said did. You have caused us serious losses. As for the settlement and compensation, you will Wait for our instructions from above!"

After finishing speaking, Bazel turned around and whispered a few words in Felix's ear.

Felix nodded and said to the ministers of the Sultanate of Zanzibar: "Okay, we don't need any explanation. After all, I'm just a low-ranking officer and I can't speak on behalf of the colonial government. Just wait for the news." Right! But before that, I can only wrong you to stay in the palace for a while, and wait until my superiors come to resolve this matter."

The princes and ministers of the Sultanate of Zanzibar wanted to argue, but Felix and his party turned and left directly to take over the security of Dar es Salaam.

East African Colony, the first town.

The East African colonial government received the information sent back by Bazel, and several high-level officials are discussing countermeasures.

Von der Leyen, the Hexingen Consortium dispatched the East African Colonial Officer.

Yarman, currently the nominal highest military officer of the East African colony.

Sweite, a Chinese student who graduated from the Hechingen Military Academy, formerly known as Ma Youcai, is now the head of the staff of the Hechingen Military Academy in the East African colony.

A dozen people sat at the long table, analyzing the information.

"It seems that the new leader of the Sultanate of Zanzibar has a problem with our East African colony!" Von der Leyen said.

Yarman said: "The new leader of the Sultanate of Zanzibar cannot be allowed to exist. We should send troops to help Majid bin Said restore normal order in Zanzibar."

"Well, you're right, otherwise this ignorant Bagash bin Said will seriously hinder the immigration work and subsequent development of the East African colonies. As for sending troops, you military personnel should first come up with a charter." Von der Leyen Said.

"It doesn't need to be too much trouble. We can directly gather troops from the first town, the second town and the surrounding villages. We don't need too many troops to deal with the Zanzibar Sultanate. One or two thousand should be enough." Wei Te said .

Von der Leyen said: "As far as I know, the Zanzibar army has several thousand people. Is it too little for us to only send one or two thousand?"

Yarman said: "Zanzibar's standing army is only a few thousand people, Dar es Salaam as the capital allocates a maximum of 3,000 people, and their weapons are backward, one thousand people are enough to deal with them, even if Zanzibar pulls more The strong men are fine, and ordinary people without formal military training are just a mob."

"Okay, let's vote now, please raise your hand if you agree to send troops." Von der Leyen said.

After the vote, there was no objection, and the vote passed unanimously. The colonial government decided to send Yarman to lead 1,500 soldiers, together with more than 200 people from Felix near the port of Dar es Salaam, to conquer Baga in Zanzibar. Sh. bin Saeed.
