Be A Sultan In Another World
24: British Invasion 1 [Battle Of South Holland Dukedom]
22-10-1805
London Province, Duchy of North Holland, Amsterdam, Amsterdam Palace.
Governor-General Hermen van Dekker was in the palace hallway to the meeting hall.
seen some troops in sundanese sultanate-like clothes with B-3 rifles saluted as hermen passed through.
inside the meeting hall, various nobles were present in this place and most of them were Muslim nobles.
they were lowly nobles who supported the sundanese sultanate during the annexation of the territory of the dutch kingdom so their power was not taken and they still held their respective territories with a little extra land, thousands of pieces of gold coins, etc, and 1-3 degree elevation of nobility in return for supporting annexation.
for a small part of the people of northern Holland province, they are traitors for supporting an enemy state annexing territory of their country, however, for most of the people of the northern holland province are considered saviors because thanks to them the Dutch did not experience genocide when the sultanate troops led by duke banyu radinawasa akbar.
when hermen entered all the nobles who were sitting immediately stood up from the chair.
"good morning everyone" said hermen
""good morning, general governor""
"please sit back"
the nobles sat back, hermen also sat down and took a scroll to show in front of the nobles.
gubjen hermen then gave the code of head nod to the supreme leader of the londo provincial forces, general adler van crenijk who is also a noble with the title senopati.
general Adler who understood hermen's intentions immediately stood up and headed to the front of the map that displayed the duchy of southern holland.
"well, according to the information we received last night, the British have prepared troops on the sea coast of the southern holland duchy, the number of troops is approximately 50,000 people with attack support in the form of 100 ships of the ship of the line and 120 ships of the class-1" said Adler
"it is likely that the enemy also had mortar fire to attack coastal defences and fortifications not far from the coastline" he continued referring to the section of the arcane on the map.
"the troops in the southern holland duchy numbered only 14,000 men with 100 howitzer-supported weapons and 300 light mortars, a condition that did not allow the troops to last long, plus according to spies in London, there are about 80,000 troops who have prepared to attack the southern holland duchy as reinforcements and solidify their foothold in our region"
"sorry general, may I cut?"said a noble in military clothes.
"please colonel franhein"
"thank you for the opportunity General" said colonel franhein.
colonel Franhein then stood up and advanced forward to the map of London province next to the map duchy holland.
"i and my unit will carry out a surprise attack by ship from the northern holland duchy as long as possible until at least the troops from the duchy of limburg are mobilized to the coast"
the meeting hall was instantly silent, a few moments later the meeting room began to rumble.
"what does this mean all colonels! you want to kill yourself against tens of thousands of troops with just 30 frigates!"
"colonel don't say anything crazy! you are a highly capable and valuable officer to the sultanate and people of the province of London!"
"the troops that commando is also mostly the ones who enter the ranks of the best naval academy graduates! it's impossible for us to dispose of future competent officers with dangerous missions with a small canteen!"
"that's right, colonel please think back.You can't kill yourself this way!"
"right, even though our weaponry can attack further but the number of our enemies is incredible! you can't attack rashly!"
various disapproving responses even directly raided the franhein colonel, but his determined eyes made the governor-gen dekker let out a long sigh.
"everything please calm down!"said hermen gubjen firmly.at once the riots that previously filled the meeting hall became silent.
gubjen hermen then looked at colonel franhein and asked him.
"colonel.I understand your intentions and goals but I want you to explain in more detail how and how you deal with them"
"well governor general, thank you for the opportunity"
colonel Franhein then faced the nobles who were upset and seemed angry with his rash remarks.
colonel Franhein then pointed to an archipelago on the map, all the existing nobles were immediately focused and waiting for the continuation of hermen's explanation.
"first I will use these islands as an advantage in attacking, I will lure their ships little by little and blast them with mortar and cannon attacks from the ground"
"then finish off the enemy troops who tried to land after the ship sank. This strategy will continue to be used until the enemy thinks that this place is a trap" said colonel frenhein while pointing to a bay.
"we will retreat and attack at night by boat and burn enemy ships with oil"
"colonel franhein"
"please mr cronher"
"how did your army burn enemy ships when you didn't light torches?"
"we have a special tool, in fact it is a new product from the province of sriwijaya that I bought 2 months ago.the tool is called a match, the match, how to use it is very easy and less than 1 minute can light a fire" colonel franhein said proudly.
""hooh!""said the nobles who were amazed and impressed.
"that's the only plan I can tell you, I'll keep all the other plans I have"
the nobles stood up and applauded loudly, too, nereka who was initially skeptical that the diversion attack failed but thanks to the franhein made the nobles think that the duchy of southern holland would not survive but now they have hope.
on the same day, the city of den haag, duchy of southern holland.
infantry and artillery forces were already mobilized to the coast.about 200 warships of various sizes were also immediately prepared to face further attacks from the British.
infantry troops worked together to build defensive trenches and build bunkers, new and old weapons were used such as the 36-pound gun which was converted into mortar.
"quickly dig the trench!"
"ammunition! bring the ammo box here!"
"the captain's our turn is done"
"good! you can rest for 30 minutes and then we'll get to work again!"
"the captain's got a call from the radio!"
"note! then give it to me!"
"good captain!"
"how much ammo do we have?!"
"4700 captains in total!"
"for now it's enough, if until the enemy adds troops then we need additional"
troops building coastal defences continued to build barricades and traps, with enemy forces growing over time alarming the southern holland duchy.
25-10-1805
The Hague, duchy of southern holland, londo province.
residents of the city of den haag flocked to the east, those displaced were women, children and some elderly.
while in the city den haag, adult men, and teenagers helped the Sultanate soldiers to defend barricades during the war.
post 12.
a teenager named Renner was carrying boxes of ammunition to the soldiers at the post, post 12 became the most open post on the battlefield because it was on the beach and facing directly to the enemy ships.
the soldiers assigned to this post were also not ordinary soldiers, they had high experience in war and were already used to cannon blasts.
"mister this is the last bullet, and this is the loaf of bread that the soup kitchen left behind"
"thank you son, this is bringing this bread for you to eat"
"accept, teenagers like you have to eat a lot so as not to be malnourished and big fast"
"...thank you sir, may God always protect you"
on the British side, mata hari had climbed 15° from the horizon and one by one the boats carrying British troops began to paddle to the coast.
the British began bombing with mortar rounds, explosions and booms starting to fall towards the sea.
Booms! Booms! Booms!
Booms! Booms! Booms!
Booms! Booms! Booms!
shiiuuuu shiiuuu shiiuuuu
A series of explosions were heard as mortars on board the British ship fired.
Duars! Duars! Duars!
Duars! Duars! Duars!
Duars! Duars! Duars!
the beautiful beach with white sand was instantly turned into a bombing area with a series of blind explosions.
post 12.
about 50 people who were in this position survived the British bombardment, they immediately prepared rifles and started firing their rifles at the enemy.
"armies! the enemy started the attack as expected, raise your weapons and show them the meaning of failure for underestimating us!"
""ready commander!""
"shoot!"
Dor's! dor's cklek! cklek
Ratatata!
gunfire began to be heard from post 12 making other posts around him shoot, coastal cannons also fired their large caliber ammunition on enemy ships that did not sail.
"set the elevation!"
"ready commander!"
"calculate wind speed"
"wind speed 7 knots commander!"
"shoot!"
Booms! Duars!
Booms! Duars!
Booms! Duars!
enemy ships one by one sunk or destroyed, the power of cannons sundanese sultanate pride is not a mere figment because of the distance of its reach that exceeds the capabilities of other countries.
the war continued until nightfall and the British stopped landing troops with the first day as a failure.
at least 20,000 British troops were killed in the first day of this great battle, about 120 officers were also killed and some people were troubled by the brutality of the sundanese sultanate forces.
26-10-1805
the city of den haag, the castle of klecnik.
a large and sturdy fortress was built in the southern part of the city of den haag, with the troops inside being the bearers of a massive attack from the British.
the fort holds 5,000 soldiers equipped with hundreds of machine guns and 30 B-3 cannons ready to break into any enemy ships.
"captains report from maritime reconnaissance, they say the British got the help of troops from their colonies in Africa and north America"
"strengthen protection, we show them that the sundanese sultanate is not an ordinary state"
"ready captain!"
on the other hand, the British again made landings with more mortar attacks still.
for several minutes of bombing continued by the British, there were about 4000 mortar shells in the shot but did not give any effect to the bunker.
the row of boats of the British troops making landfall began to approach the shoreline, screams and cheers could be heard from them.
"quick up the boat faster! we only have a little time to march and attack with attack and retreat tactics!"
""good commander!""
"to the king's majesty!"
""to the king's majesty""
on the sundanese sultanate side, large cannons direct fire and set the elevation to reach a certain range.
"cannon ready!"
"input HE ammo!"
"ammunition's loaded!"
"shoot!"
Booms! Booms! Booms!
Booms! Booms! Booms!
Booms! Booms! Booms!
the cannons then fired and the shots destroyed the British troops who were gathering to form a linear formation.
screams and cries rang out among them, some were immediately killed some were slaughtered with a state of shaking.
the beach again became blood red due to the number of dead and critical troops.
while on the sundanese sultanate side, they quickly fired the rifles they had shot at the enemies who were in disarray.
the battle of south holland continued for 1 month and the province of London successfully mobilized troops and logistics with locomotives.
the British who saw no chance to win and get the gun and cannon technology sunda sultanate also gave up attacking the province of londo.
this was also compounded by surprise attacks and deceptive tactics by the franhein colonel, who lost at least 45 ships of the line to deal with frigate ships led by colonel franhein.
the battle of south holland had been a hard blow for the British with losses of up to 68,900 personnel and war costs of up to 3,000 gold bars.
this makes political turmoil more visible, however, even the Faction of the people began to be built thanks to the unwillingness of the people to continue the war that they clearly must win but the nobles who do not care about the state of the people and are more concerned with the ego and self-esteem that they have.
sunda sultanate has 2 times sent ultimatum if the UK continues the war then the UK will be removed in history.
the threat was certainly not an ordinary threat, the sundanese sultanate who had the ability to do so made the two ultimatums the reason king George III was experiencing severe stress and even almost suicide.
meanwhile, Russia and Spain and Portugal are the best relations with Britain has not shown a desire to fight, he said, because almost some of the goods and tools that change the lives of their people for the better come from the sundanese sultanate.
