The 1,500 military personnel prepared by the colonial government, led by Commander Yarman, marched into Zanzibar.

……

Dar.

Majid bin Said and his relatives were expelled from the dungeons by colonial soldiers and reinstated in Zanzibar.

Although the legitimate Government of Zanzibar regained power, Majid bin Said and his palace ministers were also locked up in the palace and could not be allowed to leave the palace.

The Zanzibar army was disbanded, all officers were detained, soldiers were sent home on leave and weapons confiscated.

Only female servants were allowed to remain in the court to take charge of the life and life of the sultan and his ministers, and male servants were expelled to prevent Zanzibar from taking advantage of them.

Felix placed Hans Chang in charge of the men, while he himself was responsible for maintaining law and order in Dar es Salaam, and Bazel returned to his post to welcome the migrants who arrived in Hong Kong today.

As for Bagash bin Said and his staff, who were thrown into the Zanzibar dungeons like dead dogs, Majid bin Said hated him for his backstabbing and urged the colonial army to shoot him.

But Bhagash bin Said is now an important piece of evidence for the East African colonies, and naturally cannot be executed at will.

Majid bin Saeed retreated and demanded that Bagash bin Saeed be given the worst cells and food, which must not make Bagash bin Saeed feel better.

Although Majid bin Said only stayed in the dungeon for one day, Bagash bin Said didn't have time to torture him, after all, he was his own brother, and Bagash bin Said had to borrow the name of Majid bin Said to control Zanzibar, so before Bagash bin Said finished sorting out the affairs of the country, Majid bin Said was doing well in the dungeon.

Coupled with the fact that the East African colonies came too suddenly, and Bagash bin Saeed was defeated too quickly, Majid bin Saeed was released from prison in less than a day.

The whole process of this coup d'état took place in a single day, and the Sultanate of Zanzibar was the first state power to be defeated by the East African colonies, so it was recorded in history by the later East African government, and it was called "Politics of a Day", or "Politics of Zanzibar for a Day".

The government of Bhagash bin Said also became one of the shortest-running governments in the world in history, with eleven hours from the time Bhagash bin Said declared himself to govern for Zanzibar to the capture of the Zanzibar royal palace by the colonial government of East Africa.

The loss of the East African colonies was only one voyage of the migrant convoy that was forced to be delayed, and the army lost one person, two seriously wounded, and six lightly wounded.

The reason for this loss was that the colonial army had no heavy weapons, so it had to rely on soldiers with rifles and a small number of grenades to attack the overwhelmingly outnumbered Zanzibar army.

As an independent state from the Omani Empire, the Sultanate of Zanzibar is actually one of the few maritime military powers around the Indian Ocean.

Although most of Zanzibar's land area is off the coast of East Africa, the main part of Zanzibar is actually the island of Zanzibar on the sea.

The population and economic size of Zanzibar accounts for more than 70% of the Sultan of Zanzibar, and only Dar es Salaam and Mombasa have a sizable population on the mainland, mainly engaged in the slave and ivory economy.

Zanzibar's navy did not join the fight, with only a few old wooden European-style warships inherited from the days of the Omani Empire.

Most of the Arab ships on the seas were armed merchant ships engaged in maritime trade, and were not controlled by the Sultanate of Zanzibar, which had a prestige in the region because of its geographical advantage on land and on the island of Zanzibar.

These Arab ships need to dock in Zanzibar to rest and replenish supplies and fresh water, so the Zanzibar Navy is far from being as worthy of its name as it seems.

In addition, the Sultan of Zanzibar has been shifting his political focus to the mainland side over the years, and even moved the royal palace from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam, so the navy cannot go ashore, which is why Bhagash bin Said has taken control of Zanzibar with only the defenders of Dar es Salaam.

As for the fact that the Sultanate of Zanzibar is now in the hands of the East African colonies, it is still the result of the inertia of the thinking of the Zanzibaris.

Before the establishment of the East African colony, there was no rival in the interior of East Africa, and the Sultanate of Zanzibar was able to defeat the Eastern Bantu tribes in the interior of the primitive society.

The lack of rivals on land led to the early wisdom of the Sultan of Zanzibar, Majid bin Said, who ventured to the coast of East Africa and eventually moved his capital to Dar es Salaam.

Now that the Germans have arrived, the old Zanzibar Sultan and his ministers have not changed their thinking, and the East African colonies have always adopted an attitude of equal dialogue with Zanzibar, which has further promoted the prosperity of the slave trade in Zanzibar, so the high-level people in Zanzibar continue to indulge in extravagant pleasures.

……

Day 3.

Hurrying Yarman, he arrived in Dar es Salaam with a large force.

On the way, Yarman received good news from Felix, but Yarman and his army, who had already set out halfway, could not return the same way, so they continued to advance in the direction of Dar es Salaam.

And Felix's messenger continued to send letters west to the colonial government.

"Felix, good job, this battle really impresses me!" Yarman said to Felix.

"Hahaha, it's nothing, who would have thought that the army of Zanzibar would be so difficult, originally I thought that the Zanzibaris armed with firearms would be stronger than the natives in the interior, but I didn't expect them to be so wasteful." Felix said smugly.

"What about troop casualties?" Yarman asked.

"One soldier has died, two more are being rescued, and they are out of danger, and the rest are almost recovering." Felix said in a low voice.

The main thing is that Zanzibar's combat effectiveness is too low, giving Felix the illusion that casualties can be avoided altogether.

"Well, it is always inevitable that someone will die in war, let alone a weak enemy who is strong, and an enemy who is several times larger than himself." Yarman comforted.

"Don't affect the judgment of the overall situation because of individual data, if you can minimize the loss is of course a good thing, but don't hesitate because of a little loss, only soldiers who dare to bear setbacks and responsibilities are qualified soldiers." In order to prevent Felix from falling into the wrong mind, Yarman reminded in time.

"It's my mind that is too perfect, Lord Yarman, how can there be anything in this world that is always perfect!" Felix said.

"That's right, pack up the bones of the fallen soldiers, we have to look forward."

……

The arrival of Yarman solved the problem of insufficient manpower in Dar es Salaam, and the Sultanate of Zanzibar completely fell under the temporary jurisdiction of the East African colonies.

After receiving the information, the colonial government sent the news of the victory to Europe, asking Ernst to make an attitude and solution to the Zanzibar problem.

Due to the constraints of traffic and distance, it was already more than ten days after Ernst received the information.
