Be A Sultan In Another World

10: New power ottoman and first debut

20-07-1795

After the Malacca agreement was signed the economic situation in Asia became better where small traders became guaranteed and the possibility of inflation shrank.

Istanbul, ottoman sultanate.

The third selim sultan had just finished his zhuhur prayer and returned to his desk.

Not long ago someone sat outside knocking on his door.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"this is my majesty, ali pasha"

"ohh ali huh? Comein' in"

Ckreek

The door opened and saw a young man in his late teens who was quite tall.

turkish face with a thin mustache with the clothes of the ottoman nobility he was wearing made himself very recognizable.

"hail your majesty"

Selim just nodded.

"my majesty brought a letter from the sundanese sultanate"

"read"

"to the honourable, sultan of the ottoman sultanate. This letter is intended for you to prepare a speech to the 3 steel ships that will arrive in the ottoman"

"the three ships consist of 2 siliwangi-class battleships and 1 main battle ship of the bandung class"

"since this letter was sent, the crew of the ottoman sultanate ship sent to be trained in the sunda sultanate was almost finished"

"also as a gift, we will send rice and spices typical sundanese sultanate as much as 10,000 tons and 4 ships"

"this is all I can say, I'm waiting for your reply"

"good! Wait 3? Didn't we just order 2 ships?"

"about that, according to the sundanese industrial ministry. The ottoman funds sent too much then than redundant if not used by the military officials we agreed to buy 1 main battleship even though only half the payment"

"that's right, well that's good"

"my Excellency also brought a report from our ministry of industry"

"how? Can it be?"

"really, your honor, we are ready to produce B-1 cannons and ammunition, but some complicated equipment we still have to buy from Sunda"

"i don't mind, buy as many as you need until we can produce 10,000 cannons!"

"10,000 cannons?! your majesty i-it's a lot"

"indeed, but our enemies are also many, and again the cannons of the sunda sultanate are very easy to use and also very easy to maintain"

"good your honor"

Ali left and returned to take care of the documents and some proposals sent to him.

Meanwhile, the port of Istanbul is very crowded thanks to the sale of steam-powered cargo ships from companies owned by the sundanese government, the sunda ship union or sks.

The company was established 3 months after the sultanate or sunda sultanate took office and led the sunda.

The company has many cargo ships and also the speed of the ship is 12 knots even though the ship is very large, and again the advantage is the copyright certificate in each ship that makes the ship sold by this company difficult to copy by the European country because it has a variety of policies and strict supervision.

Even so the ships were always a prima donna because with a capacity of thousands of tons and cheaper crew costs made this type of ship in demand by many rich traders and trade unions.

But there are also countries that are strictly prohibited from buying this ship, the country is the Netherlands and the UK because it is still in a state of war.

Well naturally, which country wants to sell technology to its enemies let alone this technology is still new.

The Sunda Ship Union trade office.

In a room, a Javanese man was studying some documents and proposals.

Some of the proposals came from the royal families of Europe as well as as Asia, but the most interesting is the proposal offers the manufacture of ironclad type ships from the royal family of bulgaria and the duke (dipati) breman family of the sacred empire of Germany.

The vessel requested was a steam-powered ironclad 115 meters long and with a B-2 cannon.

Of course the price offered is different considering it is a different family position but wealth is almost the same.

"hmm hmm, duke breman offered a price of 1,200,000 gold coins while the Bulgarian royal family offered a price of 1,350,000 gold coins"

"hmm a ship like this.why don't they want to buy a combat cruiser? Are they in doubt about the accuracy of the cannon?"

"well whatever, besides the kingdom of bulgaria and duke breman also have a good relationship. But why does it feel like they are planning something, not to mention their relationship with the British is quite bad"

"oh yeah why did they only choose the B-2 cannon for this ship? Hmm I better put off and make a meeting with them"

The man checked another proposal and saw a letter, he saw the letter read fatin al-masr for sultan muhammad jalal akbar.

Of course the man knew who sent this letter, fatin al-masr was an honorable woman of the military of the ottoman sultanate as well as the heir of the masr family, an ottoman noble family that controlled the territory of the ottoman egypt was equivalent to a duke (dovey) in nobility.

"it looks like General Fatin is interested in him"

"hadi!"

"nggeeh sir!"

Ck kreek door opened and another young Javanese man entered.

"so you're going back to Java tomorrow right?, these are all. Sultan dapet letter from general fatin"

"j-general fatin? Fatin that..."

"iyo, wes you bring this when you come home later, do not forget to love the sultan"

"why sir, is there more?"

"oh yes this.Bring also these 2 proposals to him, there are royal families and nobles who want to order a ship"

"nggeh sir, then I say goodbye"

"yo be careful, don't forget to bring souvenirs for your wife yes"

"haha ngggeh sir"

Hadi came out and the young man who received the letter refocused on his work.

Damascus, al-masr's halfway house.

One room saw a girl lying on her bed holding a book.

the beautiful face is typical of the middle east and the ideal body and emits a strong aura of pride.

It is clear that his face is shy and looks reddish with the position of the body still wearing his military uniform.

He was a fatin al-masr, a general of the ottoman sultanate as well as heir to the ottoman egyptian duke family.

Starting his military career at the age of 11 years he is now growing into a general who leads 20,000 musketers, 20,000 line infantry, 10,000 light cavalry and 8,000 musket cavalry in the military ottoman sultanate.

However, it was different from the ottoman army. The al-masr family also had 20,000 musketeers, 10,000 infantry lines and 2,000 musket cavalry to stem the rebellion.

Little information, in the sultanate of ottoman there are 3 main families consisting of ardi family or sultan family today, pasha family duke (dipati) and al-masr family which is also duke.

Every 3 generations there will be a transfer of the sultanate family between ardi, pasha, and al-masr.

For example the ardi family became the sultan at this time then the great-grandson of this family will only become a duke in his reign, as well as the pasha and al-masr families.

For the Europeans this system was considered confusing and considered a theoretical failure, but in practice it was a total success because it made the ottoman a state with the smallest level of rebellion in its territory.

The Ardi family holds influence in the northern ottoman region (turkey and surrounding areas) the pasha family in the southeast (syria and surrounding areas) and the al-masr family in the south (egypt and surrounding areas)

Okay back to the news, currently the fatin general is reading a book called "biography ahmad the conqueror of the southern earth" published by the foreign ministry of the sundanese sultanate which contains the life story of ahmad to become sultan and conquer Britain and the Netherlands to make the qing dynasty and mughal became reluctant with him.

In the book there are also some tributes from the ahmad given by other leaders and also their nobles.

One of the famous ones is the nickname given by the emperor of the qing dynasty, the emperor Jiaqing.

According to him: muhammad jalal akbar is revolutionary in opposing the influence of westerners as well as stabilizing world trade which is currently dominated by westerners, not only that he is also an intelligent and honest person, he said, I admit Sundanese land is also worthy of being called the most advanced land in Asia, I myself gave it the nickname "Zhenzheng de nanfang shijie zhi wang"(the true king of the southern world).

"i haven't chosen the menu yet!"

The fatin general went up and immediately went to his servants to ask what kind of cuisine was famous in the sundanese sultanate.

After that he also arranged a banquet that he would hold as a celebration of congratulations on the sundanese sultanate's victory over the Netherlands and England, although there is a hidden purpose.

25-09-1795.

Jakarta city, port.

Ships originating from the sultanate ottoman have now arrived in the sunda sultanate and letters of the fatin general have been delivered to the palace in the city of bandung.

Bandung, the palace of the sultanate.

On a clear day, after the time of the noble, Ahmad again wanted to take care of the documents in his work desk but was distracted when he saw a letter with 2 stamps that he was very familiar with, he said, 1 cap of the ottoman sultanate and 1 more cap of the al-masr family.

"letter from ottoman? And this is from the al-masr family huh"

Ahmad opened it and read it, after reading a small smile formed on his lips.

"well, it looks like a vacation abroad is not bad either"

"and again I can't believe the famous general invited me to a banquet, this is hard to resist not to mention the ottoman and sunda relations are now allies"

Ahmad also put the letter and ordered his servants to accelerate the construction of the latest ship to be used as a flagship and debut abroad.

The contents of the letter sent by the fatin general:

_____________________________

Assallamualaikum, may Allah always give mercy to him,

Greetings muhammad jalal akbar, from sunda sultanate. I general fatin al-masr would like to invite you to a banquet in Istanbul city in celebration of the inauguration of the newest fleet of ships of the sultanate of the ottoman, he said, I really hope that he can attend this event and also participate in introducing the sunda sultanate that is warm to be the lips of European society today.

I also hope that the sultan will be present at the ceremony together inistanbul after the inauguration of the new ship fleet ends.

That's all I can say, hopefully long life and healthy always amiin.

Wassallamalaikumjo.

General fatin al - masr^^^^

^^^_____________________________^^^

after that, he continued to take care of several documents including one that he found interesting, building a sundanese sultanate school in the qing dynasty that has 152 million Muslim inhabitants in yunnan and guangzhou.

"lumayan too, the yunnan region is famous for its natural produce and gaungzhou is famous for its enormous trade...building a school here can be a profit by getting some talented Chinese who do not get success due to competing with the nobility"

"alright as a first step 60 schools will be built in the guangzhou area and 40 schools will be built in yunnan, hopefully the Qianlong emperor gives permission"

After that, Ahmad called his servant to make a proposal that he asked to send to the qing dynasty.

After that, Ahmad continued to work on other documents and went to conduct development supervision on several things.

05-01-1796

4 Months passed since the invitation was sent and now ahmad went with the latest ship sunda sultanate escorted 2 ships bandung class and 50 iron clad along the 125 meters to the city of Istanbul.

The newest ship was named kks muhammad jalal akbar with the hull code kks-01.

at first glance this ship is very similar to the imperial-made ijn nagato ship in world war 2, however there are different where the whole deck of the ship is made with metal and excellent thickness to withstand enemy fire.

A steam-powered battleship with technological sophistication that could not be achieved by any nation other than the sundanese sultanate.

The first ship in the world to have a main gun of 410mm caliber which is a frightening specter for its enemies.

On the deck of the ship, while looking at the ocean with the ahmad wind again read the message that arrived at him 4 months ago, he also several times wanted to write a reply but was canceled because it was better to come immediately.

Ahmad also felt happy and proud because the ottoman sultanate provided an opportunity in the form of naming a bandung-class battleship purchased by the ottoman sultanate.

He is also proud of the great handmade products of Sunda country will be worldwide, especially technology products.

In Sundanese tribalism, all schools focus on the field of technology and medicine, which some of their knowledge comes from the world of ahmad origin in the 21st century.

According to ahmad, by promoting the advancement of science and technology will make any nation a developed country even though their population is small, Singapore is an example where they managed to rise from a small and poor country into a developed country in their region.

When he was staring at the sinking sun, Patih jafar called out to him.

"the day is getting dark, please come in because it's soon dinner time"

"ohh what's the meal this time?"

"the dinner menu this time is satay madura and rice kebeli"

"hmm quite well, well please call the others as well"

"good sire"

After entering the ship and eating with the trainers, high-ranking officers, and also the ahmad diplomats sleep in the special room that has been provided.

Days passed and now the fleet of ships ahmad already in the Mediterranean sea and have met several times the fleet of ships of the sultanate of the ottoman as well as the fleet of the kingdom of Spain, portuguese, french, and neples (south italy).

When arriving in the city of Istanbul, the fleet of ahmad became a major concern, especially from the ambassadors of the balkan kingdoms and the holy roman empire (the forerunner of the austrian empire).

Dplimatically holy roman empire and neutral ottoman sultanate and tend to open trade between each other so arguably no bad thing associated between sunda ottoman and holy roman.

In the port of Istanbul itself there are 3 steel ships that are not much different from the fleet ahmad with the flag of the sultanate of the ottoman.

After docking to the port of ahmad, jafar, and his guards disembarked from the ship they were greeted by the generals fatin and ali pasha along with the diplomats and ambassadors of the surrounding kingdoms.

"welcome sultan muhammad jalal akbar, we welcome you and your followers in Istanbul"

"thank you for the welcome of General Fatin, and thank you for inviting me to this event I am truly honoured"

"it is natural for you, Sundanese country is a country full of technological advances that are very stunning it is we who are honored"

"as well as the king and his followers must be exhausted during the journey, let's head to the prepared guest palace"

"thank you general fatin, please lead the way"

After that, the ahmad and the trainers will go to the guest palace while the crew will stay in a special inn near the port and some guards are also provided to keep the ship from espionage.

In the afternoon, ahmad with ali pasha also headed to the palace of the ottoman sultanate and held a brief meeting about the debut of the sundanese sultanate along with the inauguration of the 3 newest ships of the ottoman sultanate to the west.
