From December 3, when the Tiaoman Army left Alaman, to December 10 when they captured Suez City, it took less than 8 days in total.
The timing, it must be said, was very precise.
Even half a day longer, and the Tiaoman Army would have exhausted their last few barrels of fuel outside Suez City.
In fact, when Suez City's garrison surrendered, the Tiaoman assault force had already run out of fuel, and it was only by capturing fuel that they were able to enter Suez Port.
On the same day, the Imperial Navy's transport fleet arrived.
As the fleet entered Suez Port, a minor incident took place.
A small group of Bulan troops who did not want to surrender tried to lay mines in the main shipping channel of the port, aiming to block it by sinking cargo ships.
However, the first to enter the military port were several destroyers, one of which was stationed near the main channel.
