Be A Sultan In Another World
11: British situation and ahmad visit
10-06-1796
In the palace of saint james, the throne hall.
The third king George was holding a meeting with civil, military, and military officials, as well as the nobles in response to the fines and losses incurred as a result of the war against the sundanese sultanate earlier and it became the most humiliating slap in British history which became the most successful explorer nation today.
"your highness, duke wales is coming to face"
"well, let him in"
Duke Wales entered and knelt there was king george 3, the king nodded in response to his arrival.
"so my cousin.what the sundanese sultanate really has that we lost with many losses including losing the malayan peninsula territory and making the name of our great empire tarnished"
"your Majesty, with all due respect I would be honest if the sundanese sunda had a steel ship with technology that we cannot reach at this time"
"and why do you think so"
"primary cannons, secondary cannons, ship engines, crew training, support weaponry, logistics and much more far exceed our capabilities"
Brak!
King George 3 was only able to break the throne after hearing the words of his cousin.
"then is it possible if we attack them?"
"i strongly plead that your Majesty never does that, ottoman sultanate alone has become stronger thanks to the latest 3 ships purchased from sundanese sultanate and the technology is also similar according to the staff of the foreign ministry ottoman and sunda"
"...Okay, but for now what's your best option?"
"if your majesty asks for my opinion then we better cooperate with Sunda, the ability of technicians and also the science of technology they are far ahead of us, they can build steel vessels hundreds of meters long in less than 5 years and again the engine used can make these giant ships capable of moving at sea with a maximum speed of 30 knots not to mention the range of cruising which is so amazing"
"i also had time to ask some famous ottoman experts and they said it took at least 50 years to learn every detail of the sunda sultanate ship"
"this is very surprising to me, if this had not happened with the witnesses of the world leaders then surely my stomach would have hurt"
"just imagine, a new country free from colonization managed to beat back a country that is much larger and stronger than its occupiers"
""haha""
All those present agreed with the comments of king george 3, because it sounded very impossible for a newly independent country to humiliate one of the superpowers in its colony.
"alright, my cousin duke wales. I hereby assign you as the representative of the British in forming good relations with sundanese, ottoman, persian, and mughal. Those countries are not the aggressor type but Spain, and Portugal will be our main focus, he said, because they're piling up troops on the border of our colony"
"you can go and I wish you all the best"
"good your honor"
Duke Wales left the throne room.
"well, then, what about our preparations for war on the North American continent?"
The commander of the royal british army, sir Hannek came forward and knelt before the king, the king nodded as before.
"your Majesty, our preparations are almost ready and we are confident that Spain will not be able to win this war"
"so that? Why are you so sure?"
"almost all of our logistics are ready and it's only a matter of waiting for a noble order when it's done"
"hoo, okay. Then does anyone want to help us against Spain and Portugal?"
"for now there is no noble, but the most likely is the sundanese sultanate"
"hoo, really? Why would that be?"
"the glorious sunda sultanate area currently includes the malaya peninsula, borneo island, java island, bali island, madura island, celebes island, and the timor islands, with such a large territory and with the many migrations from the qing dynasty, the joseon dynasty, the mughal dynasty, the tokugawa shogunate, the ottoman sultanate and others made the residential area quite narrow in urban, urban, urban, and urban areas, even during the inauguration of the latest fleet of ottomans also sultan sunda sultanate announced that it would build 4 cities on the island of Borneo with a capacity of 100 to 200 thousand people and allow 40%it was inhabited by outsiders of the sultanate on the condition of a highly guarded transfer of citizenship"
"a city with a population of 100,000 people yes, then is the island of borneo very valuable? For tens to hundreds of years we searched the resources there and found no place for metal mines or precious stone mines"
"we also do not know the noble, but there are some rumors that the island of Borneo will be used as the economic and cultural center of the sundanese sultanate"
"culture, yes, they want to be a country that combines technological and cultural progress at the same time"
"well, I understand now. Send a letter to the sundanese sultanate about our war plans in the north american continent against Spain, also tell the sundanese sultanate can get..."
"excuse me, your majesty! There's emergency news!"
"emergency? Then what and I hope you tell me some really bad news"
"well, your majesty, the giant steel warships of the sundanese sultanate are heading towards the port city of london!"
"what did you say?! Why would a Sundanese warship want to come here?"
"we don't know your majesty, but it's very likely that they want to negotiate"
"negotiation? Then who's here..."
"reporting your honor, the ahmad sultan of the sundanese sultanate came to visit! He also said that there were some things to talk about"
"....all right, everyone can leave this room except the ministers and guards, the waiter please prepare the table and chairs here"
""good your honor""
Meanwhile, in the harbor, kks muhammad jalal akbar was floating majestically, the main cannons were not directed upwards because it could create a panic for civilians. On the deck of the ahmad ship in military clothes was casually staring at the city of London while eating a snack in the form of fried grasshoppers.
"so is this the atmosphere of 18th century London? But judging from the year it looks like Napoleon's war is about to break out and I have to make the ottoman sultanate, the persian empire, and the mughal empire so as not to join any side and remain neutral"
"what do you mean by Napoleon's war?"
"no, just speculating. In the kingdom of France, there is currently a revolutionary movement to overthrow the kingdom by the nationalists, there is a possibility that the revolutionary war will also spread to Europe and beyond so if the war happens then I will try to make the ottoman, he said, persia and the Mughals, who are our biggest allies and trading partners besides qing, have been dragged into the war"
"baginda is wise, just by looking at the situation you can describe a great war with some consequences even before it happens"
"no admiral akbari, this is just my speculation and I hope it's wrong because otherwise the state of the world would be quite chaotic"
"that's how I understand you. But there is another important news I need to tell you"
"important news? What is it"
"so, so there will be the possibility of a British-spanish war. It looks like my visit to Britain will give us some advantage that we will participate in the war and take champa (southern part of Vietnam) and the finos (filiphine islands) from Spain"
"of course, sire, but is it okay for us to get involved?"
"honestly there are 2 reasons why we should be involved, first chance. The stability of the Spanish military is currently faltering where some of its colonies managed to independence and the failure of the invasion of the British mainland due to the storm made the Spanish navy lose more than 10,000 warships which made the economy spain was hit"
"and the second is to take back what is ours, based on historical evidence of the srivijaya and majapahit kingdoms, he said, the Champa region and the islands of Philos were vassal states or their vassal states which made both kingdoms have influence on politics and law, we as the successors of both kingdoms must and must be able to take back what our ancestors have for the sake of posterity in the future"
"servant understands your majesty, but isn't there a last reason other than the 2 reasons?"
"ohh sure, but that can be discussed after the war is over and let's focus on our meeting with the British empire"
"good, you guys, let's get through here"
After that, Ahmad and admiral Akbari went down from the ship to the dock with a landing craft with a cargo of 1 car and 4 horsemen.
After that several musketers and infantry lines arrived with duke wales and his bodyguards.
"greetings and welcome to London, the glorious sultan ahmad jalal akbar. I am duke dersen of wales, duke of wales territory as well as representative of the British in previous peace negotiations and also cousin of the noble king george the third"
"thank you for the welcome duke dersen, and introduce this admiral akbari khalid who is also the current head of my bodyguard"
"it's an honor to meet you, duke dersen"
"laksmana akbari yes, I never thought to be able to meet the dawn of the sultanate navy, your achievements are very much known admiral akbari and honestly I myself amazed"
"thank you for duke dersen's praise, it's an honor for me"
"well, please your highness through here we will go to the palace of saint james"
"of course lead the way, driver please follow"
"good sire"
The latest output car sunda sultanate also walked following the duke wales horse carriage with several horsemen.
elegant black car classic style, with a size that is quite long and design that has never existed in this world.
Along the way, the car made by the sundanese sultanate amazed many people and made the British technicians become crazy because in addition to quickly also able to pass through the rocky road with little or almost no shaking.
Various questions and news published in the london times newspaper, the newspaper came from a subsidiary of British news owned by the sundanese sultanate named PT. Global royal sunda news which includes news from asia, africa, america, and europe.
A few hours passed the group arrived at the castle saint james, in front of the castle gate there were many troops typical of the castle guards in red uniforms with muskets and bayonets attached.
The third king was also there with prince george 4 who was the crown prince of the kingdom.
The sunda sultanate group entered the castle area and stopped in front of the main door.
The English nobles began to stare in surprise as the sultanate they considered only won because of the number of previous fights had iron chariots capable of walking without horses.
"how can the chariot walk without horses? And again made of iron? Or maybe an unknown metal?"
"it's obvious that it's not iron, look at the sparkle. I'm sure it's a newly discovered metal capable of rivaling gold in its luster quality"
"but to my surprise, why did their cavalry use muskets as weapons? No it doesn't look like a musket but to a more elaborate weapon"
Back to the news, when the British nobility still talk about how the sundanese sultanate surprised them.
Ahmad was in front of the third king George and they shook hands with each other.
"welcome to the castle of saint james, sultan of ahmad. It's quite a surprise you dropped by here"
"received king george's welcome, and I myself did aim for Britain after the event in the ottoman because there are some things that might benefit both countries?"
"haha, benefit both countries huh. Then let's go in. We've prepared a dish for the sultan"
"ohh, then I will accept with the heart of king george"
After that the ahmad and his guards were directed to the dining room of the great palace, there were also some upper nobles such as the marquis jack of ireland who was also the prime minister of Britain and the duke edwin of edinburg.
The menu is also all halal because it is cooked by ottoman and egyptian chefs in the form of ottoman-style condiment steaks and some processed potatoes that are much liked by Europeans.
King george, duke edwin, duke dersen and marquis jack also several times asked about the political situation in Asia and occasionally asked about the sale of spices such as cloves and nutmeg seeds to the sundanese sultanate.
But surprisingly from that sunda sunda sunda offered 2 steel warships to the British who would have been ready and just sold and trained his ship crew.
the ship offered is also not an ordinary ship but a ship angklung class, size, design and main weapons are exactly the same as the ship hms majestic battleship (pre-dreadnought).
Of course, all those present were surprised because the British themselves tightly closed out the technology they managed to develop.
But when ahmad said there will be a major war that will break out in Europe which has the potential to disrupt the economy of the Asian continent and the sundanese sultanate itself.
After thinking for a moment and seeing if the ship offered to them by the sundanese sultanate, he, the third king George also agreed and will pay with 8 islands that contained gold mines because it also included the supply of spare parts from the sundanese sultanate for 15 years.
While the Sunda Sultanate got 8 islands containing gold that is still a lot and there are likely other metals there, too, the sundanese sultanate had bought the natuna islands from the qing dynasty practically free of charge as it charged only admin fees, as the qing dynasty itself did not care much about the islands.
The natuna islands were previously named "Fenergyu ruan de dauoy" or stormy islands" and converted into natuna islands and began to be built sultanete sundanese navy base or sundanese sultanate navy with 450 steam freegat ships 56 cannons and 800 Chinese jung ships with 36 cannons.
Not only that, though, there have also been built 2 oil refineries with production of 150,000 barrels per day each of which the oil will be stored and some sold to ottoman who have developed diesel engines for locomotives.
Back to the news, after the banquet and some greetings. A shocking tragedy occurred in which 55,000 southern Irish citizens managed to take control of the palace of Saint James with the help of revolutionaries from France.
There was a panic where the existing noble thought would be killed but when a representative entered and directly attacked Ahmad with a sword.
Ahmad immediately cocked a gun on his waist and shot the man dead from a distance of 20 meters right mengsnai jidad bones or butterfly bones.
Everyone was surprised by how a flinlock shot that far and hit the target.
After that all the guards immediately shot their rifles quickly and made 48 revolutionary officials die and the revolutionary army spirit dropped.
Eventually the palace of saint james was secured by 10,000 musceters and 5,000 lines of British infantry working together with 500 cavalry troops sunda sultanate.
After that the relationship between the British became better and trade between the two countries became greater and the sultan sunda was granted permission to establish a weapons company in London on condition that 4000 briatnia technician students were allowed to attend college in Bandung technology institutes such as ottoman which has sent 15,000 students, Persia which has sent 6,000 and mughal who have sent 20,000 of its best students.
Not only that the various regions of the European nobility also wanted to send students although very expensive but because most of the arrogance of nobles over the marquis and duke classes made some noble territories only able to pass through other countries like ottoman and mughal.
