On January 7, 1785, off the coast of Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate.
There is a map horizontally in Valkyrie's war room. It is a newly drawn map. The details and scales are not clear, but the outline is clear and the annotations are detailed.
Lorraine's big hand was hitting the map.
"Final battle meeting," he said to everyone in the cabin.
"Before the meeting begins, let us first express our sincere gratitude to the impulsive and naive Prince Dillaman, who chose 233 cronies among the soldiers who were willing to betray the Sultan and die for him, we Only then can the traitors who are willing to cooperate be selected from the abandoned warriors."
"They made up for our weaknesses. Muscat, which was originally foggy, has taken off the veil for us. She is here."
Lorraine straightened up, picked up the stick, and drew a big circle on the map.
"This is the city defense map of Muscat. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. It includes nobles and free citizens. The population of the city is less than ten thousand."
"Matola Port is the only port in Muscat, with a total of 12 plank roads and 23 berths."
"The military port in the northern area occupies 14 berths, and there is a permanent Sultan Bargara Guard, equipped with 13 medium-sized Bargara ships and one large-scale Sultan."
"However, this so-called most powerful navy in Arabia has been destroyed."
"The day before yesterday, Prince Dillaman personally sent us four, and yesterday, Marshal Manzeri, the Minister of the Navy, sent us nine. Now there is only the 68-door Godsend Sultan left in the port, but the Sultan does not know how to drive. Her original captain, Marshal Manzeri, is on board the Sunflower, ready to contribute to the construction of Port Zuwo."
"Matola Port also has 12 coastal defense turrets, a total of 24 heavy guns, 18 near-defense guns and 6 flamethrowers. The range of the heavy guns is 2700, and the rate of fire is 3 to 5 minutes. The range of the near-anti-guns is 1200, and the rate of fire 1 minute."
"The good news is that none of the artillery in Muscat has the ability to fire explosive bombs. The bad news is that with our current strength, even if there is no threat of explosive bombs, the possibility of us capturing the dock is very slim."
Lorraine's words caused an uproar. Karen, Yacharin, Pierce, and Freemany all intended to speak, but Lorraine didn't give any response, just talking to himself.
"Then the Army.
He tapped his stick lightly on the map, "The Sultanate is a traditional sea power in the Arab region. Since sea power is the most important thing, they naturally don't have a strong army tradition." "
"There are two garrisons in Muscat. The Defense Guard is of Portuguese origin, and the grenadiers are equipped with two regiments. The garrisons are the Milani Castle and the Jalali Castle built in the north and south of the Gulf."
"These two castles were built during the Portuguese rule in 1588. They were located on the coastal cliffs, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they form horns with the port fortress. There are also forts built on the cliffs, and the castle is equipped with land artillery. Each fort has 24 gates, 14 coast defense gates, and 10 land battle gates."
"The Sudanese Guard is of Turkish origin. It consists of a regiment of heavy grenadiers, two battalions, 16 companies, and an independent artillery company. It has a total establishment of 2,000 people and is stationed in the palace. It is said that they are loyal and only obey the orders of the Sudan."
Carmen's eyes lit up first: "The Sultan Guard is loyal, that is to say..."
"That was our breakthrough."
Lorraine's stick moved horizontally and finally settled at the location of Milani Castle.
"One of our collaborators, the abandoned Colonel Hassadi, and General Hassadi, the head of the First Regiment of the National Defense Guard, are brothers. Brothers and friends respect each other as guests."
"The colonel was very disappointed with the royal family and was willing to persuade the general to defect. But he asked us to guarantee the safety of the Hasadi family's life and property in Muscat after the war, and protect them from moving to the city of Niwaz in the Inner Oman region. Accept Sanctuary of the Imams of Oman."
"However, I declined."
Lorraine's expression was very happy, as if he had made a great and wise decision.
"I checked the geographical map of the Sultanate and consulted with our collaborators. I found that starting from Muscat, whether it is going southwest to Niwaz or going northwest to Sohar Port, the distance and road conditions are actually the same. Too much. To Suhar can also use sea transportation, which can effectively reduce the loss of the Hasadi family’s relocation.”
"I think a partner of justice should not bear the shame after making the right decision, should not be labeled as a traitor, should be respected and rewarded. So I suggest him to rule Sohar port and ask his family to rule resources The rich Batinai region became the owner of those gold, silver and iron ores."
"Although the miners there are still suffering, they are still using quite primitive methods, risking their lives to satisfy the greed of the rulers."
"But the Drake Chamber of Commerce is willing to help them. We are willing to be the protector of the Hasadi family, and even invest huge sums of money to help them establish modern terminals, customs, mining companies and supporting logistics systems at any cost."
"Every time a company is established, the Hasadi family will automatically receive a 35% dividend. This contract will take effect from the time when Colonel Hasadi legally becomes the ruler of the Al Batinah area, until the end of Hasadi's rule and the contract ends."
...
Lorraine has dug a new gold mountain...
Similar thoughts were floating around in the minds of those present.
And different from the "flowing gold channel" in North America, this time the Jinshan is a real Jinshan, a stone mountain where gold is hidden.
The rich minerals of the Sultanate have a great reputation in Europe, especially the gold, silver, and chrome mines that are famous all over the mountains and plains around Sohar, and the seemingly inexhaustible iron, manganese, marble, and other minerals that are spread throughout the northern mountains of Batinai. Gypsum mine.
Aren't these things going to be named Drake soon?
doesn't seem to be...
There are big loopholes in Lorraine's words, such as [every company is established]...
Does this mean that even if Drake helped the Hasadi family rule the Batinai region, as long as the company is not established, these mines still belong to Hasadi?
What if the prospecting of a mine or the establishment of a company is artificially unsuccessful?
Kawen looked at Lorraine inquiringly, and suddenly saw a clear look in Lorraine's eyes.
Yes!
Hassadi would never have agreed to such a condition without a big enough loophole hidden in the contract!
The contract is the first opportunity!
It just helped Drake open a gap leading to Jinshan. How to dig the gap deep, in the final analysis, depends on the mediation and management in the future, and this is the field that the Chamber of Commerce is good at!
Carmen figured it out.
After a while, Faraming also figured it out.
Eddie was third, Sharon was fourth, Pierce was fifth, and Acharyn was sixth.
Lorraine didn't wait any longer, because the rest of the people were either not as good as Karen who couldn't understand anyway, or they were like Henna and Leff, they didn't even bother to think about it.
Lorraine cleared his throat.
"So ladies and gentlemen, please recognize a small change in the work environment."
"The journey begins with Hashem's personal feud and Pierce's promise, and expands with Portuguese folly."
"Before this contract, all our actions were for the purpose of stopping losses. Now that we have this contract, congratulations, we can finally seriously think about the issue of profitability."
"Don't forget that we are businessmen!" With a heavy blow, the teaching stick broke in response, "Family, ethnic group, trust, love and hatred, when all these are rewarded, profit is our entire soul!"
"Muscat Raiders, code-named [Jinshan], start!"
