India (2)
「World history to read as a book, India edition.
South Asia’s regional hegemon, with the world’s largest population, has a history as complex as its modifier.
Among these, if you look only after modern times, India consisted of a number of emirates (independent countries ruled by tribal chiefs) called Nawabs under the rule of the Mughal Empire.
Then, in 1907, the war of unification broke out through the Indian National Congress led by Jawaharlal Nehru.
Excluding some emirates (now Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, etc.), it succeeded in establishing a single state system.
Of course, that didn’t mean that India’s future was full of flowers.
Due to the lack of a hero development system, they had to be interfered with by the British Association of Specialized Persons, which led to the collapse of the key industry and caused a distorted economic structure.
But at the same time, India had certain advantages too.
First, there has never been a breeding ground for monsters in Korea.
Second, the border area is mountainous, which is advantageous for wave defense.
Third, even if a meteorite fell, the vast territory made the high-level monster containment operation easy.
And thanks to these advantages, India has a huge domestic market with a population of 900 million.

If you have looked at the economic aspects of ‘unified India’ up to this point, you should look at political stability next.
If a country tries to project power outside, it is impossible without domestic stability being guaranteed.
The same is true of Myanmar, which is in crisis right now.
If it was not enough to gather the strength of a group of monsters in one place, the military launched a coup d’état out of dissatisfaction with the political world.
It is also self-evident that the front line collapses as a result, and ‘every day is a crisis of national survival (Aung San Suu Kyi, 2028 Pyin Oo Lwin Speech)’.
On the other hand, India’s military has never caused a problem.
Although the federal government based on democracy sometimes experienced major mistakes or failures, the 3 million Indian armed forces, led by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, remained faithful to their original mission.
In fact, the size of the Border Security Force alone is 720,000, so a coup would have been possible if it was willing.
However, they did not lose their eyes, focusing only on domestic and northern defense operations, which played a major role in maintaining domestic stability.
Although, the military’s organizational system and equipment level are seriously outdated, and it is far from a modernized army.”
The two-week boat ride was just the beginning of the journey, and we were able to arrive in northern India only after spending 40 long hours scattered across the streets.
Aside from the delayed delay due to the engine failure of the train, after changing to a vehicle, the schedule was delayed while passing through a road close to the dirt floor.
Fortunately, it was thanks to Rajit Shahi that the trouble was avoided.
“… The amount is ambiguous.”
“It’s not our fault that the driver doesn’t have a license. $100 is enough for you to show your sincerity.”
“Not enough. There are foreigners mixed in.”
“If you want to receive more, tell me your affiliation. I’ll contact your superiors and sort it out.”
“… Wait for a moment.”
Punjab, Patankot.
As they reached the town bordering the northern border, a police officer in a beige uniform and brown belt approached and demanded a bribe.
I don’t understand how Indian government drivers don’t have driving licenses and how police take bribes and turn a blind eye and that’s normal.
Rome has Roman law, and India has Indian law, so I cast my eyes to the other side of the window.
As it was an international raid and it was a nabal, and it didn’t happen once or twice, there was faith that the Indian tanker would take care of it this time too.
Hairy hairy hair-!
in the midst of this The narrow, unlined streets were lined with old buildings, and the air was dense with faded exterior walls and tangled wires.
Cows didn’t roam the streets, probably because it’s a city center, but all the shops are closed with iron gates, and here and there… A quarrel is taking place.
“what?”
“It feels like conscription.”
“In broad daylight? Even on the street? Force?”
“Or what?”
“… … .”
At Ina Miranova’s question, Lina Taylor shuts her nose, and then people in military uniforms drag two young men out of the building.
His parents followed him and tried to stop him, but there was no mercy for the conscripts.
Enough to confirm that my father is on the correct side and drag him along.
“It’s common in India.”
To this, Rajit Shahi, who has returned from errands, adds a comment.
“Is it common? This is not possible in the US… No matter how urgent it is, we must follow the procedure.”
“That would be nice, but there are a lot of difficulties.”
I used an honorific in my direction, but when an American girl interrupted, I stopped talking.
“First of all, identity verification is not done properly. There are many people, but when the mobilization order is activated, the number is small. Besides, false support is also a problem.”
“False support?”
“If you are a child of a noble family, you buy someone to replace it. It’s like buying a life with money.”
“… that-“
“Korea is similar. It’s not just India.”
Should I say something nonsensical again?
I intervene moderately and block Lina Taylor from speaking.
Tested at the ship’s training ground, his ability to deal with organisms was quite good, but it was difficult to express his personality as good even with empty words.
“Is that so?”
“yes. The metropolitan area is relatively less, but the provinces are literally the playground of the strong. Whether it’s an ordinary person or a person with special abilities, he’s busy taking care of a specific person. Fortified cities are even worse. Because the population is small, it is closed. Don’t you know too well?”
“you’re right.”
When I subtly took the side, the Indian tanker’s clown creeps up, but the American girl, on the contrary, notices it gently.
will do so right away
But anyway, the vehicle passes through the checkpoint and soon approaches the shore of a shallow river.
“This is Ravi River. Just across the bridge is Jammu and Kashmir.”
“Are we almost there?”
“no. It’s another 7 hours to go to the middle of the battlefield. Currently, the front line is formed across the Skardu and Hunza valleys, which are Pakistani territory. There are many things to go through, such as crossing the border.”
Unfortunately or fortunately, Rajit Shahi’s explanation was only half right.
3 hours after that.
When the vehicle arrives in Jammu, a city nestled in the mountains, human voices and moans resonate outside the window.
They said it would take another 4 hours to reach the destination, but it has already collapsed.
Personal doubts are resolved by the voices of intelligence agents, who came across the radio from the third vehicle.
[…] Muzaffarabad fell. Please check the satellite information.]
“It can’t be. It makes no sense.”
As everyone pulled out their security devices, the Indian tanker refuted by mentioning unfamiliar landmarks.
“Muzaffarabad is the capital of Azad Kashmir (Kashmir on the Pakistani side) and a fortified city attached to the south. The collapse of that place means that the mountain range was given to the monsters, right?”
[Yes. That’s what it means. See for yourself with a security device.]
Not to mention, satellite maps include Baboozer, Naran, Balakot, and Dana Shohal. The withdrawal of troops along the canyon is clearly captured.
Considering that the group of monsters were at least 5 kilometers away, it seemed that they were running away, abandoning fortresses and guard posts.
“What is this… … .”
[Pakistan’s internal information network is very weak, but it is said that the penetration of the western border city was a problem.]
“West Kashmir?”
[no. To be precise, it refers to the west of Pakistan. Two cities are on the verge of falling: Peshamar and Mardan. Maybe it has already collapsed.]
“… … .”
[Anyway, the news must have caused serious concern to the Pakistani military authorities. Peshamar and Mardan are right in front of Islamabad, the capital city, so it would be virtually impossible to supply Kashmir.]
So dare to give up.
Agent Jung Kwang-shik spoke in a confident tone.
Then it’s my turn to ask questions.
“The information arrived too slowly.”
[…] Spy satellites have limited operations. Due to the lack of algebra, it is not possible to watch the whole world every moment. Moreover, things exploded in a short time.]
“How long has it been since the incident happened?”
[Yes. It was 14 hours ago that news of the attacks in the northwestern cities of Peshamar and Mardan came in, and it was 9 hours ago that the Pakistani government decided to give up Kashmir.]
“… What else do I need to know?”
It took a while for me to rack my brain trying to figure out the situation.
When I spit out the second question, Nina Alexi, an agent of the Russian intelligence service, suddenly interjected with an answer.
[Scorpio is moving north.]
“… That’s not good news.”
[Yes. Over the past two days, they have been following the Indus River to Central Pakistan, near Raya. I don’t know why, but it’s coming up at a very fast rate. Perhaps Scorpio’s northward movement also influenced the Pakistani government’s decision. There is no way to stop it.]
“Can’t you take the time?”
[We urgently dispatched an armored division and an infantry division… I heard you failed to achieve your goal.]
If so, the choices diverge.
“I have to make a decision. Whether to join the operation to defend the capital, or go down south and snip Scorpio. It’s going to be a matter of how fast the group of monsters are moving. Waves and unidentified monsters merging into one group should be avoided as much as possible.”
Just in time, the engineering chief- Leva Rich seemed to have the same idea.
Then, naturally, the eyes of the engineering corps members gather in one place.
grow.
“How big is the wave?”
[Medium size. Between 2,500 and 3,000… … .]
[2,842.]
“… It’s pretty detailed.”
[Thanks to Russian technology. But unlike the west, there are over 10,000 of them heading south from Kashmir. Most of them are low class, but it will be difficult to deal with them in a short period of time. please note.]
Certainly it was.
Even if we take care of the west, the north will still remain.
Therefore, the choice of ‘Project L’ is inevitably the latter.
“It means we have to shoot Scorpio after all.”
“To be honest, it’s not an option I’m drawn to. It would have been better to fight and secure the borderlands. But in everything… You can’t pick and choose places and circumstances to fight.”
Suddenly, an Indian government official raised his voice over the radio. They didn’t seem to like going straight to Pakistan.
And an experienced engineering chief simply summarizes a series of complaints.
“… How are you guys doing? Neither India nor Pakistan would be cooperative if they said they would not join the operation to defend the capital.”
“We are an international assault force. It does not operate according to the orders of a particular country. Besides, since India is a member of the International Association of Talented Persons, there is no more problem.”
It was said that there was no need to ask for forgiveness.
