Chapter 7: Drinking and Talking (II)
The banquet is still going on, and the dance performance in the middle also makes the crowd in front of them watch with relish.
Of course, the misfit Friedrich was now worried about the roasted camel in front of him. He never expected the Arabs to carry a whole camel up.
In fact, this was not the usual way for the Omanis to eat, but the Austrian officials who accompanied him insisted that Archduke Friedrich must have a separate meal
So a whole roasted camel was placed in front of Friedrich's eyes, and he looked at the "delicacy" with a knife and fork in his hand and looked at it with some weakness.
The various dates and pies just now are almost vomited by this distinguished guest from the European continent.
Omani officials, who were also accompanying them, also demanded that the Austrian guests not serve alcohol, as it was an affront to the Holy Sultan.
Without wine and the delicious taste in front of him was not very palatable, Friedrich's interest was naturally not high. But a melodious music sounded, and he couldn't help but open his jaw wide, and the camel meat that was almost in his mouth fell to the ground.
Although those dancing girls covered with tulle, dressed coolly, and with graceful bodies could not arouse the slightest interest in this young nobleman with strong blood, the eyes of the woman dressed in purple dance clothes on stage at this time had a breathtaking power like ghosts.
Friedrich was stunned after just one look, but Said's brows furrowed on the side.
I saw that the purple-clothed dancing girl's waist danced like a spirit snake, and it was difficult for people to combine plump and slender, but the woman in front of her just did it.
Charming but elegant, with some exotic style, especially the unruly temperament in the eyes, which is very much in line with the Austrian prince's appetite.
As soon as the dance was over, the purple-clad dancer walked in his direction, only to be pointed at several guns, of course.
After all, Friedrich has the dual status of a member of the royal family and a naval marshal, so of course his security is very tight.
The dancer's unusual behavior immediately alerted the Austrians, and as soon as the guards moved, a group of marines ran out of the deck.
Saeed, for his part, tried to resist, but he immediately realized that it was no different from death.
Friedrich spoke, but instead of asking his men to put their guns down, he asked the dancing girl a question.
"What's your name?"
Before the interpreter could speak, the other party spoke in German.
"My name is Sneka, the princess of Oman, your future wife." Princess Sneka folded her hands on her chest and saluted respectfully.
Although it is a simple action and a short sentence, there is a sense of amazement.
"This is my daughter Sneka, my heart, but for the sake of peace and friendship between the two countries and the two families, I am willing to sacrifice her to you."
The next day Friedrich brought Princess Sneka to Bagamoyo, and the governor, Benny Erbyn, did not know how to explain this to the archduke.
In order to control Tanzania better and faster, Nilbin chose to support his brother, of course, this was also selfish, but after the other party's wings hardened, he turned to Bagamoyo's idea.
Of course, if his brother only liked Bagamoyo, maybe Benny Erbin would have been in the same league by this time.
But the reality is that his black brother wants to kill him as the eldest brother, after all, Erbin is the heir designated by the old chief.
But it didn't matter to either Friedrich or Franz, the latter just needed a proxy, and the former just wanted to show off his might in front of his fiancée.
Friedrich was very fond of the princess Sneka in front of her, she was not only beautiful, but even good at discussing military affairs.
This made him feel like he had met a lifelong confidant, but this confidant didn't seem to believe that he could easily defeat an entire army of blacks with firearms.
You must know that the Kingdom of Vegin has always been one of the most powerful black kingdoms in East Africa, and in recent years, Benny Erbin has used his power to support it.
The Numbayi family (the Wejin royal family) already had a force of 13,000 men and was armed with a large number of firearms.
Even the Omani Empire at this time was reluctant to gnaw this difficult bone on land, and Friedrich's entire fleet probably did not add up to 13,000 men.
"It's better for you to ask for help from your own country, the Kingdom of Vegin has captured Paradise Fort and built a defense nearby. Without three times their strength, it's better not to provoke them. ”
Princess Sneka analyzed that her words were very pertinent and professional. Normally, it should be done as Her Royal Highness the Princess says, but it is still an unequal battle.
"I've seen your performance before, and it's amazing. It's time for you to see my performance. ”
Princess Sneka only sighed softly, and she said to herself, "How can men be so stubborn, their own fathers are like this, and so are their brothers, and so is the European prince in front of me. ”
But in her personal opinion, this is not a bad thing, after all, such a man is easier to control. I just hope that he will not die too soon, otherwise his sovereign father may have to marry him to a black man.
As for Benny Urbin on the side, he did not receive the imaginary punishment, nor did he get the comfort that he did not dare to expect, he was just completely ignored; Hang it out as if there had never been a Governor of Tanzania.
Friedrich's army easily took control of Bagamoyo, and the cronies who were relied on by Erbin also dissociated themselves from him.
Princess Sneka asked cautiously on the way back.
"Archduke Friedrich, you seem to have forgotten to deal with that Mr. Benny Earbing. Do you want to wait until the war is over before dealing with it? ”
"No, this kind of thing is not my business, I have a very powerful nephew, he will take care of this."
Friedrich said with a smile, his expression not fake, and Princess Sneka did not continue to ask.
Paradise was a fortress built by the Portuguese to conquer East Africa permanently, but they failed.
Because the Portuguese always had a kind of self-confidence, they liked to abandon the fortifications and compete with the Omanis in the plains and in the desert.
As a result, the forts did not function as they were meant to be, and Biru Numbay, the younger brother of Benny Erbin, was a black man and was not treated well by their father, King Ye Numbay.
But this did not prevent Numbay from becoming the most powerful conqueror in the Tanzanian region.
Three of the seven tribes were wiped out by the Austrians, and he wiped out two more, plus a large amount of Western-style equipment, and the Wejin Empire was at the greatest moment in its history.
Biru Numbayi's ambition is not just to be the king of Tanzania, he wants to defeat the Omanis, invade India, and become the "king of the world".
In the eyes of the Wakin family at this time, the world was only as large as East Africa and India, and the Europeans belonged to the outside world, not to this world, so it was God's will to betray and expel them.
But he is not a fool, and he will never take half a step out of his fortress, so that the kingdom of Vejin can be invincible.
A day later, the pretentious chief was buried under the ruins of Paradise Fort.
