1485 Raja Alauddin
Shah (1477-1520), astute in military tactics and strategies,
sails East to Turkey with his trusted and loyal admiral, Laksamana
Hang Tuah and 20,000 men from the Malaysian Empire. With the
assistance of the Turks, he conquers lower Hungary all the way
to Budapest.
1524 Raja
Alauddin's son, Sultan Suleiman I (1520-1566) takes over and
expands the Malaysian Empire further north to Slovakia, preparing
for the eventual siege of Vienna.
1529 The
first siege takes place during the rule of Ferdinand I (1521-
1564), a vicious Habsburg ruler. This siege leaves Vienna devastated
even though Sultan Suleiman eventually withdraws his forces.
Sultan Suleiman realises that his strategy of direct military
attack will not work as the Habsburgs defenses are too strong
and he did not have enough manpower. He returns to Budapest,
and begins to develop a more insidious plan - infiltration into
the Habsburg Empire seems the key to success.
It takes 3 subsequent reigns of Sultans, help from the Turks,
and over a hundred years of patience and slow infiltration into
the Habsburg monarchy and elite before the Malaysians return
to siege Vienna in 1683. |
