Following Ernst's request, the Ministry of Defense and the Army General Staff formulated matters related to military deployments on the East African land in 1883.
Arman and Sivert gave a detailed report on this military deployment:
"Your Highness, for this troop movement, according to your requirements, we have made the following arrangements, including strengthening the forces in Jezira city, which borders the Nile River province and is adjacent to the Sultanate of Egypt. If the British invade East Africa from the north, Jezira city is the only gateway," Sivert said.
Jezira city is along the Nile River, very close to the important Sultanate city of Kashim. To the east of Jezira is the Ethiopian Highlands, also known as the Abysinnia Empire, to the west are the Nuba Mountains, and further west is the Kordofan plateau.
