The Gulf of Oman, a long and narrow sea area between the Arabian Peninsula and the Asian continent, is rich in hairtail, with gentle wind and flat waves.


    This is a famous ancient battlefield in the world. In 1544, the newly arrived Portuguese defeated the powerful fleet of Ottoman Turkey and came to East Africa.


    In 1652, the Omani people of Muscat Sultanate drove out the Portuguese again with a powerful Arab sailing fleet, making the Arabian peninsula a land illuminated by Allah again.


    Now, the powerful Ottoman Turkey has declined, the arrogant Portugal has declined, and the once beautiful Sultanate lies on the pride and dignity of the past, completely ignoring the great changes in the whole world.


    "Find the Sudanese fleet! North northwest, distance 9300, quantity, bagala type five!"


    "The enemy ship team made an arrow burst, with a speed of 8 knots and a relative speed of 14 knots!"


    "The order of the governor, the lady, the freshman code, and the future are engaged, and the interspersed tactics are implemented!"


    "Deputy inspector pierce Yates is on the ship! Raise the color pupil skeleton flag! The lady takes over the command of the former enemy!"


    "Attack!"


    The lady, the future and the freshman code sailed out, and the distinguished guests gathered on the deck of valkiri, holding up their goggles and whispering excitedly.


    The time has advanced to 1785. Today is January 4. If the distinguished guests still regret that they can''t be reunited with their families on Christmas days, now they have begun to thank God for letting them join this wonderful and exciting "game".


    Drake showed his fangs.


    In the early morning of December 26, the special service formation shelled gehailil for seven hours, and the Portuguese wounded ships saints and Ortega were blasted into debris on the wharf.


    During the shelling, Scheck of gaihailil sent messengers to negotiate with Lorraine on the sambog, the only warship in the port with a unique square stern. So Lorraine sent LEV, hung the messenger''s head on the king''s flag of the Sultanate of Muscat and returned to the shore.


    The war began.


    On December 28, the secret service formation in Dongshou along the coastline was attacked for the first time by the Muscat Sudanese fleet. The two sides fought in the sea area of Masila island. Four bagala Arab galleons were sunk and seven escaped.


    On December 29, Drake''s stormtroopers occupied Masila Island, where Shek was hanged, and 828 Aborigines were captured and enslaved.


    On January 1, the logistics supply fleet organized by Eddie in Cape Town arrived in Masila, with a total of one barg and three brigantines, and the special service formation was full of ammunition.


    On January 2, the secret service formation bypassed Cape hard, defeated the Muscat Sultanate fleet, sank one bagala, captured two and scuttled. The formation shelled the important Sudanese town of Sur, and the urban area of sur became a sea of fire.


    On 3 January, the Sultanate launched a retaliatory night attack, totaling seven bagala type ships. The varkiri single ship broke up the enemy''s assault formation. The lady led the fleet to encircle from the outside, sank three ships, and the remaining enemy retreated.


    On January 4, the formation reached the middle of the Gulf of Oman, only 160 kilometers away from Muscat, the capital of the state of the Sudan, and was attacked.


    The high-density fighting made the sailors of the special service formation familiar with the characteristics of the bagara Arab yacht. This kind of yacht is 30 to 50 meters long, has low freeboard, and the number and caliber of artillery are far lower than the Galen yacht of the same level in Europe, which is similar to the bagar configuration.


    Her wind design is very interesting. The tall and large main mast is equipped with relatively small foremast and back mast. All use Latin sails, that is, traditional Arabian triangular sails as sails.


    This kind of canvas has not changed much for hundreds of years.


    Because Arabs, like the East, missed the era of geographical discovery, their navigation history rarely dealt with the extreme situation of long-term offshore, and there were complex air currents near the coastline, so they paid more attention to their performance in the upwind and changeable wind direction when designing ships, and did not consider the strong and stable transoceanic trade wind.


    Because of this, the Arab galleon is smart and stable, with a low upper limit and high lower limit speed, and its explosive power is extremely weak.


    Lorraine made full use of their defect and often made his subordinates approach quickly at the beginning of the battle, interspersed and entrapped in the other party''s fleet.


    As long as it is close to 100 meters, the ships of the Sultanate can hardly wait to die under the fire and defense of warkiri and the noble women. It is a sad hope to escape.


    So is today''s battle.


    The lady was in the middle, the future and the new code were attached to both sides of the wing, and the three ships made an arrow attack. They rushed into the middle of the formation of the Sudanese fleet in the sea area about 6 kilometers in front of walkiri, and sandwiched the two bagala ships.


    The opponent''s formation is in a mess.


    According to the traditional formation, bagala, who fell at the far end, wanted to come forward for reinforcement, but the lady took off after pouring a round of ammunition and blocked the opponent''s reinforcement intention with her own high speed.


    In the inner line of the theater, the future and the freshman code attacked two bagara type ships, one of which was seriously damaged by the ladies, smoking and staggering.


    Outside the theater, the lady fought the three ships alone as a wandering ship. Those young people constantly proved their strength with exquisite skills. On the scene, the lady was firmly in the upper hand.


    What a wonderful picture


    Mr. medori of the Netherlands was full of poetry. When he spread his arm, he blushed: "ah! What a wonderful picture!"


    Mr. mobadi of Spain has become a real good friend with the empty Dutch. He immediately joked: "civilization spreads to the wilderness. I guess you want to say that."


    "Yes, yes, what a wonderful picture of civilization spreading to the wilderness! God, the white people are saving the world, but those barbarians always want to refuse. Teach them a lesson! President Drake, teach them a lesson!"


    Lorraine raised his glass to salute medori.


    "Orders, Impatiens, Persian chrysanthemum, Dendrobium and xiangyanghua encircle the flank. They don''t have to pursue hurting and attacking the enemy. They want to protect themselves and block the retreat."


    "Yes!" adelay, who took over from Bator, beat his legs and chest, turned around and rushed to convey the order.


    Mr. Baker, not far away, came up curiously: "Mr. President, you have never blocked your retreat in previous naval battles. Why this time..."


    Emmons laughed: "Muscat is close at hand. If we sink one more enemy ship here, we can spend less time in Muscat. Mr. President, am I right?"


    "Mr. investigator is worthy of being a senior staff officer of the Navy Department. I can''t hide this subtle trick from your eyes."


    Baker, who is not good at war, knows now.


    He licked his lips: "I''ve heard that the bagala is an excellent Arab warship. Although their technical development is somewhat sluggish, these ships have places to circle in terms of firepower, speed and defense. They defeated the prosperous Portugal more than 100 years ago, which makes the navies of all countries very vigilant. We never thought they were so vulnerable."


    "Do you think the Sultanate is really vulnerable?" Emmons once again made a mockery like his signboard. "Listen to the sound of guns in the distance, distinguished sir, eighteen pounds, twenty-four pounds. They are not weaker than any force in Africa, but the president in front of you, he is unexpectedly strong."


    Baker opened his mouth in amazement: "speaking of it, Mr. investigator, how is your mysterious investigation going? I remember that the punishment for illegal assembly seems quite heavy. Confiscate illegal armed forces and impose a fine of three or five times the value?"


    "You are far more proficient in law than in war," Emmons said regretfully. "But I can''t get the president to pay. He did exceed the limit and used more than 18 pounds of artillery, but these artillery are not on the non civilian list."


    "Is there such a thing in the world?"


    "Boston''s specialty 24 pound short gun is the kind of gun Mr. President put on the upper deck. It is the invention and creation of those Hicks. It has great power and excellent firing speed. However, the positioning is too embarrassing. Only pirate ships and privateer ships can really play its value. It is good for our warships."


    "I have started to write the investigation report. It happens that you are also on board this time. If you are free, I hope you can correct it for me."


    "Me? Correct?" Baker wanted to ask what he, who knew nothing about ordnance, could correct a military investigation report, but Emmons blocked his words and completely persuaded him in a few words.


    "The royal company is a colonial institution exclusively belonging to your majesty. My sir, your majesty has always hoped that the manager selected by him will have the talent of the governor. Considering that this report will eventually be submitted to your majesty, if it happens to have your signature..."


    "The company just bought a 56 carat sapphire a few days ago. It''s very beautiful." Baker blushed and shook his glass. "Mr. investigator, do you like gemstones?"
