Chapter 62: Fierce Battle

As Felix and his team approached Dar es Salaam, they encountered Bazel and his group of more than 20 staff members. Bazel explained the situation in Zanzibar, including the recent coup led by Bagash bin Said.

Felix decided to act immediately, even without the arrival of additional troops. He was determined to take advantage of the chaos in Zanzibar to make a bold move. Bazel and Hans Zhang expressed their concerns about the risky plan, but Felix assured them that he would proceed with caution and not take unnecessary risks.

Under the cover of darkness, Felix and his team sneaked into Dar es Salaam. They received a report from an intelligence agent about the situation in the city, confirming that Zanzibar was not under martial law, and ordinary people could move freely.

Felix decided to move forward with their plan to capture Bagash bin Said and his supporters. He outlined his strategy, emphasizing that they would head straight to the palace, where Bagash bin Said was holding a celebration banquet.

As they approached the palace, they heard gunshots ringing out. The chaos erupted outside the palace as Felix and his team prepared to make their move. Bagash bin Said was hosting a celebration, and his palace had limited security.

Felix confidently ordered his troops to launch a coordinated attack on the palace, using grenades to create an opening in the gate. The Zanzibar soldiers inside the palace were taken by surprise, and chaos ensued.

Felix rallied his troops, drew his saber, and led them in a charge toward the palace. The Zanzibar soldiers inside, disoriented and outnumbered, had little chance to resist. Some tried to escape through windows, while others fled in different directions within the building.

Abdullah, who had come to investigate the commotion, was captured by East African colonial soldiers. The Zanzibar soldiers were more focused on escaping and preserving their lives than putting up a coordinated defense.

Felix and his team pressed forward, determined to capture Bagash bin Said and bring an end to the chaos in Zanzibar.
