February 20th, 1867.
East African colony.
"Your Majesty, Sultan Magid, if you sign this agreement, you and your government can regain your freedom." Von der Leyen handed the treaty to Sultan Magid.
Sultan Magid looked at the agreement with a face ashen, inwardly cursing the East African colony and Bagash, the traitor, completely.
This is no friendship and mutual assistance treaty. It's clearly turning the Sultanate of Zanzibar into a puppet of the East African colony.
Except for the island of Zanzibar, all territory has been effectively annexed by the East African colony, and other than the royal guard, the Sultanate of Zanzibar's army has been completely disbanded, only allowing them to be stationed on Zanzibar itself.
Even the few pitiful old warships of the Sultanate of Zanzibar were taken by the East African colony. However small the mosquito is, it's still meat. Money is not crucial, but ships are rare for the East African colony.
