The Historical Hegemon Series
Volume 16 - Mzab
Chapter Two Hundred and Fifteen - The First Muscovy/Algiers Japan War, Part One
9 June – I order:
West African Army from Egypt to the border
Horn of Africa – one army to Barawa, one to Ogaden the others to the border
Egypt – One to Harer, one to Dembiya, one to Hergeisa, the rest to borders
I am still at war with Japan
Peace for 12 years
16 June – Removal of Slavery – they both now have Fish
15 July – I send my extra diplomat to make nice with Berau
I don’t order anything fiscally to build since I need help in Japan
Army:
Japan – 290k
Muscovy - 357k
We have 45k in Okhotsk from the Independent army.
Since I am recovering my army’s manpower after the War against Somalia, I cannot, in good conscience, send my army from the Malay Peninsula to Siberia so I order some mercs to supplement my forces there.
I order a Fortress in Jugjur next to Japan.
Mercs:
Grand Company – 30k, 1.26k now, 24.50 monthly – Stanovoy
Free Company – 15k, 599 now, 11.61 monthly, Okhotsk
Mongol Mercenaries – 30k, 2.91k now, 56.55 monthly, Chara
Buryat Band – 12k, 566 now, 10.42 monthly, Maya
