We send agents to the northern coastal fishing villages to gather information from the fishing vessels on the Russian ships. At the same time we send our three diesel powered revenue cutters (Max speed, 27 nautical miles per hour) north to intercept the fleet and determine their intentions: To guide them to the port of Sumqayit, if peaceful, or to shadow them and report their whereabouts if hostile. We prepare to move the Caliph's court and his personal guard of 50 Hashashim from Baku to Tbilisi if necessary, and place the Cadre and militia on alert, while the strike force is being armed and drilled on weaponry.
The cutters are armed with two medium machine guns mounted fore and aft, and have steel plate armor capable of turning rifle and light machine gun fire.
We begin stripping the civilian fittings from the trucks we have gathered, and constructing boxy containers for the truckbeds to conceal the contents from prying spyglasses--especially the tanks of the fuel trucks. We continue to send spies on horseback to the east to scout a path for the strike force, and northeast to watch for Russian troop movement that may be directed at us.
We were only able to obtain enough trucks to transport 2,000 troops with basic supplies at a time, so unless we can reach accommodation with the Turkmen about the horses, our strike may turn into a fairly weak tap, instead.
