Be A Sultan In Another World
3: first attack
01-06-1794
Six months had ahmad Iskandar or better known in the world as the sultan muhammad jalal akbar led and ruled the sunda sultanate, day by day he passed to build a strong military force, he said, with the new weapons ahmad and the officials of both the military and civilian sultanate have a sense of optimism to win.
In the ground forces, the imperial army already used the Bandung-1 (gewehr 43) rifle, the Bandung-2 (zis-3) cannon. And mortar Bandung-1(type 97 mortar)
Fired by sea, cannons purchased from the ottoman kingdom will only be used for coastal defense while the successor is the Bandung-1 cannon (schwere canon 18), bandung-3 cannon (pak-38) and Bandung-2 rifle (mg-34)
Bandung, the palace of the sultanate.
In a room, it was seen that Ahmad was meeting with patih perthanan, the generals, admirals, and high-ranking officers of the sultanate.
"baginda, according to our spy report the VOC is currently waiting for the arrival of a fleet of ambush that reached at least 5000 frigates with 60 cannons, dozens of man'o war class ships with slightly more cannons than frigates and 1 war galeon ship were most likely command ships" said the defense coach while giving the white paper
Btw, 2 weeks after ahmad led the sultanate, they were able to produce fine white paper and also exported to the Qing dynasty and the joseon dynasty.
"just that much? Good, well we get into the main topic"
Everyone present nodded.
"over these six months, we've changed a lot. Starting from weapons, how to fight, strategy, equipment troops, and we have even prepared 10 steel ships capable of sailing with steam engines the results of our hard work"
"you praise him too much, all because of your greatness in describing him so that we work more easily. In addition, our economy also rose rapidly thanks to our cooperation with the qing dynasty and the joseon dynasty" said the financial coach happily
"according to the plan, we will conquer the coconut sunda"
"we will seize it and also defend it!"
""good sire!""
"now we design the strategy, everyone please look at this map"
Before long came 2 officers in new uniforms of the sultanate carrying a map of 1x1 meters and stretching it on the floor.
"we already have information about some of the weak points such as gunpowder warehouses and rifles, spare cannons and others"
"please look at the east..."
Ahmad also explained his attack strategy for a while and did deliberation on what are the possible obstacles.
After the meeting was over, preparations were immediately made and Ahmad was waiting for the notification of troops to be sent.
Wall City bandung.
Tens of thousands of sultanate troops lined up neatly with rifles on their shoulders.
their uniforms had motifs similar to those of the second world war-era German military uniforms, dominated only by red and white for helmets, and a line in the middle next to the trousers.
They line up neatly to form like pieces of brick when viewed from above.
In each row appears fluttering sundanese sultanate flag which has the meaning of courage and purity and virtuous.
the flag is similar to the current Indonesian flag but with the sunda sultanate symbol right in the middle.

A few weeks later, he arrived at the gate facing the imperial troops and began making short speeches.
"good morning my troops, today will be a historic moment for us. Sundanese sultanate to win from the western nation"
"thanks to hard work, discipline, courage, and loyalty. Our Sultanate can survive and rise from the shackles of colonizers"
"so from that, we should be able to! We must win this war!"
"the forces that I am proud of, this war is not just an ordinary war but a war that determines the fate of our nation in the future"
"for that, let us fight together for the sovereignty of our sultanate. Allah akbar!"
""Allah!!!""
"everything, let's start this war by singing our new national anthem together"
After that came the musicians up the gate and began to sing the rhythm of the national anthem, with the wisdom of the sultanate troops followed him.
Lyric:
prosper and honor our sultanate, together build up the power of the state
fair and honest congratulations sentosa, happy slalu with the sultan
- live peacefully, live brothers
storm hits us still, strong sultanate
under the banner of unity, let us glorify joy
the fair and mighty sultan
- live our sultanate's army
- dare to go forward undaunted with the enemy, with our people will unite
jayalah sultanate, believe unity
prosperous, prosperous, and victorious, that was the sultanate under the banner of unity....."
The national anthem continues to be sung with passion and wisdom, after the end of Sunday came down from the gate and led the troops in front.
Behind Ahmad there are about 3000 pairs of horse troops each towing the Bandung-2 cannon, behind which there are again about 15,000 horsemen armed with Bandung-3 rifles (arisaka type 38)
Then after that there were about 300 horse carts armed with Bandung-3 rifles also carrying Mortar Bandung-1 along with its ammunition.
Then the last troops were infantry armed with Bandung-1 rifles on foot while carrying their rifles.
The total number of troops that the ahmad led was 50,000 people with various kinds of combat capabilities baim cavalry, infantry, and artillery.
These 50,000 troops were the best troops selected by the Sultanate's defensive training strictly according to the sultan's standards.
Little info, the army that leads ahmad is a new division called GEMRAMA (combat, attack, main) consisting of 6000 troops of cannon, 15,000 cavalry troops, 900 troops mortar, and more, 600 Fire support troops (engine rifles), and a total of 27,500 infantry troops (500 for logistics).

A week's journey through by the sultanate forces to take over and control the city of Batavia finally arrived.
After a long journey due to the large number of troops and the maintenance of the weaponry to be used in the war, the army arrived in full preparation.
Batavia, batavia castle.
Batavia castle is a major fortress as well as the center of VOC activities in batavia, this castle or fort has an area of about 9 times the size of the fortress of noordwijk fort, and 4 times wider than the jacatra fort, which previously became the largest fortress of batavia city(jakarta).the total area of batavia castle approximately reached 57,600 m².
With such a large area, the Batavia castle is armed with 2000 24-pound cannons, 1500 12-pound cannons, 50 24-pound mortars, 38,000 infantry line troops, 12,000 light cavalry troops, and 5,700/gunners/mortar.
In addition to weaponry, the Batavia castle is also protected with a 15-meter-high concrete wall 5 meters thick and a 2-meter-wide moat 1.5 meters deep.
Batavia castle, hall room.
Today, a meeting was held led by the fifth king of Willem who took part in the voyage.
"your majesty, it is a great honor for me because you came all the way to Batavia" the VOC director said
"no problem, this city is an important city for the sake of our kingdom so it's only natural that I pay special attention"
"thank you, my majesty, I'm really yelling..."
Booms! Booms! Booms! Booms!
Booms! Booms! Booms! Booms!
"report! There was an attack from the south!, the enemy numbering approximately 50,000 men equipped with cannons and mortars!"
"what?! How could they have mortars! For cannons even they had to buy on the ottoman empire!"
Outside batavia castle.
"pointing your cannons! Hurry along!"
"shoot!!!"
Booms! Booms! Booms! Booms!
But unfortunately the shot from the batavia castle cannon was not able to reach the sundanese sultanate troops resulting in their fighting spirit drop.
"commander! Our cannons can't reach them! How's this?!"
"hellen..."
Duars!
Instantly the commander of the gunner was destroyed by Bandung-2 cannon fire.
Sultanate army command tent.
In the tent, it was seen that Ahmad was discussing the form of an attack to capture the VOC governor who was the main leader of the batavia castle.
"baginda, I have a proposal to destroy the gate as well after we have a streak of shots this time"
"gate yes, well that's good"
"you use the mortar army to destroy it and use the cavalry to storm in and fire on the enemy troops, meanwhile, the infantry will follow him from behind and break into the search for enemy leaders and meet the spies I sent"
"their characteristics are using red and white headbands"
"ready! carry out sire"
The general went out of the tent and immediately gave orders and arranged for the troops.
"huft.create a bolt-action rifle only takes 5 months and can only be mass produced a week later"
"luckily the production capacity of the sultanate is quite large and again I did not expect half of the sultanate's population to ever weave education in the sultanate of ottoman"
"hahh, well this is just the beginning. Maybe later I will liberate sumatra, bali, kalimantan, the same peninsula of melaka"
Not long after the general he had ordered returned.
"signor, the gate was destroyed first before the mortars were ready to fire"
"lah..why could that be? Yes, attack with cavalry and infantry, but tell the mortars to stay alert"
"ready your king"
During these 6 months also ahmad changed the military discipline that initially impressed monarchism to be more militarism and it made the sultanate experience a little social change.
But not a bad thing, it is precisely social change that makes a lot of progress on the sultanate such as:
1. The rapid increase in interest in joining the sultanate army.
2. increasing the selling power of the sultanate, although it sounds unrelated but this is the fact.
3. among the people and nobles are increasingly open to each other and make the military an access to give the aspirations of the people to the nobility.
4. increased interest in reading, writing, and counting throughout the sultanate which was initially 55% to 89%.
Back to the battle, though, currently thousands of cavalry troops quickly entered the area of the castle batavia and opened fire on soldiers of the Dutch kingdom and VOC who were still in a bad state due to the continuous fire of the 76mm cannon HE-FRAG(high explosive-fragmanted)
In less than 30 minutes the Batavia castle was surrendered and many bodies were hit by explosions.
"akkh Cuih! It's worth it to you VOC people!"
"it is fadli that we must take care of the prisoners first, remember the sultan said. Let them be like animals but we don't"
"...well, you're right, I still seem to have too much grudge with them"
"well indeed, but the most talked about now is the assistant of the VOC governor.I don't think he is the leader of the spy whom the sultan sent and also the younger brother of the defense coach"
"hey! Quickly bring help bring these bodies! Or you'll be sentenced to 20 rounds of barracks!"
""ready commander""
Sultanate army command tent.
ahmad and his generals were receiving reports of a brief but decisive battle watching the prisoners they were carrying and they were shocked.
It was unexpected that the Dutch king himself came to Batavia to send aid troops but instead ended up being a prisoner of war.
Based on the report of the assistant governor of the VOC who was the leader of the spy sultanate, the, explained that king willem 5 gives great attention to batavia or coconut sunda because it is a city that is very important for the Dutch to maintain their influence in Asia.
"so he's king of the netherlands? I can't believe my luck is this big" asked Ahmad
"really his Majesty, this is the current king of the Netherlands and is the leader of the castle of Batavia" replied the Sultan's spy leader named umar siddiq
"good, take all the important prisoners to bandung and guard very, very tight"
"while the rest of the army prisoners take them to mines, construction sites and farms"
"carry out sire!"
Umar left and Ahmad immediately went up to the highest tower in the castle of Batavia while carrying the sultanate flag.
Ahmad and his bodyguards also carried out flag raising while singing the sultanate's national anthem.
Other sultanate troops also sang and saluted the sultanate flag.
After the ahmad hoisting walked to the edge of the tower.
"all my troops!"
"today we have all carved out the history of the battle of Batavia on earth and this will be the opening history for the resurrection of us all!"
"for that, I am sultan muhammad jalal akbar!"
"it hereby declares this city to be the city of Jakarta and will be the base of our newest fleet!"
"all, my men, my generals, my masters, as sultans I am so grateful for your loyalty and I also support the families of our comrades! Our brothers who have fallen so that their successors have a bright money future!"
"today I will also announce that the sultanate will expand throughout the archipelago and unite the Sunda continent that has been lost from the world!"
"live sultanate!!!"
""live sultanate!!!""
""live sultan!!!"
""live sultanate!!!""
""live sultan!!!""
""live sultanate!!!""
""live sire....""
13-06-1794
5 days after the battle of Batavia, ahmad and his generals have returned to bandung with some troops living in the sunda kokol fortress (formerly batavia) to be rebuilt with workers from bandung and bogor.
The reason why the ahmad arrived faster was because his troops were not as many as before and some of them were cavalry and troops brought along with the wagon.
Bandung, the palace of the sultanate.
With a tired body, Ahmad dropped himself on a soft mattress in his palace and asked the servants not to disturb him as long as he had not come out of the room.
"hahh, tired too.padahat only a few times command the same invading troops 15 times the cannons"
Yep, yep, ahmad literally fought without piquing his status as supreme commander at the time and made an attack by firing his own cannons and leading the troops in while holding a rifle bandung-3 and instead managed to find a powder warehouse gunpowder.
Fortunately, Ahmad led the troops so they prefer to bring the gunpowder out as a bonus from the war.
In the warehouse there are about 400 barrels of gunpowder with each barrel weighing 60kg plus there are about 30,000 pieces of cannon balls weighing 24 pounds and 60,000 pieces of 12 pound cannon balls.
Of course all the meria balls will be reprocessed and a small part will be used to strengthen the coastal defenses of the sultanate's fortresses, although the fortresses were also equipped with the bandung-1 cannon and the bandung-3 cannon.
But with the reason for the surprise attack, cannons purchased from the ottoman are still used so that victory in the city of batavia or now Jakarta will be better known for strategic prowess than the ability of the weapon.
