Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Following that are two light aircraft carriers, the Ryujo and Hosho, each displacing nearly 3 tons. Further back are the four existing light carriers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force: the Izumo, Kaga, Hyuga, and Fuso.

Then there are air battleships and missile destroyers.

People marvel at the sheer size of large aircraft carriers, but are even more awestruck by the unparalleled sense of oppression emanating from modern battleships.

"That's the Zhenhai battleship. Could it be that a Z-20 shipborne helicopter is strapped to its side...?"

Of course, this is yet another piece of evidence of Li Xinghe's collusion with the Chinese side. A large number of domestically produced helicopters and drones were moored on the aft deck of the aircraft carrier.

"The Koryo and the Yashima, this is a joint deployment!"

The Chinese people were surprised, cheered, jumped for joy, and were shocked. The photos they took quickly appeared on the domestic Internet, making netizens hold their breath and feel that a special atmosphere was brewing.

Behind the fleet, four amphibious assault ships—the Dokdo-class from South Korea and the Canberra-class from Australia—formed an amphibious transport formation following the aircraft carrier battle group. Unfortunately, amphibious assault ships lack popularity; not many people like to photograph them.

Admittedly, entering the Indian Ocean does not mean that this massive, nation-destroying fleet is about to attack India.

But at least Southeast Asians can get a good night's sleep. Li Xinghe has no immediate plans to make 'strength-based adjustments' to more countries.

Meanwhile, in the ship's command center, the intelligence gathering staff scoffed:

"According to the Indian branch of the European NGO organization, they have observed the few remaining newspapers and programs in India and found that Indians still feel that we will not take action against them."

Indeed, the Indian government can only pray at this point.

This might be more akin to a prayer and expectation, an idealistic yearning.

As long as Li Xinghe's army doesn't launch a large-scale landing, the BJP government can maintain its power, allowing Modi and his chaebol allies to try to drive national development through chaebols, similar to the South Korean model. What the Indians completely fail to do is prioritize centralized national command and control over development before relying on chaebols.

Another advisor said:

"The Americans are mocking our fleet for using Temu products."

After all, this fleet is filled with products from various countries. The largest aircraft carrier is an American product, the second largest is a Chinese product, and then a Japanese product. The two largest 3-ton light aircraft carriers are converted coast guard vessels, and the largest missile destroyer is specifically designed to carry land-based Aegis radar. The aviation battleship is a joint project between China, Japan, and South Korea, while the amphibious assault ships are from South Korea and Spain.

Everyone laughed back:

"Hmph, then why haven't they made a move against Mexico yet? Is it because our artillery and shells haven't arrived on time?"

Because Vance had subtly hindered Lee Sung-ha's efforts regarding the South Korean pro-democracy riots, Lee Sung-ha had ordered all arms dealers to cease supplying weapons to the United States. At this point, the United States was left with only extremely expensive and limited supply of handcrafted artillery shells from American artisans, and various types of ammunition produced by commercial firearms companies.

So when Vance wanted to take action against Mexico and reshape the political order in North America, he discovered that without Li Xinghe's industrial artillery support, the US military was severely lacking in artillery reserves, and the F-35s were not even fully loaded with bombs to bomb Mexico.

"Haha, what's even funnier is that if our aircraft carrier fleet is a Pinduoduo product, then their aircraft carrier fleet is probably just scrap metal from a shipyard."

Even the US Navy's active-duty aircraft carriers are mostly out of commission in shipyards. The degree of corrosion on both the hulls and the carrier-based aircraft is beyond what most people can imagine.

The old aircraft carriers that the U.S. military has docked in various museums, such as the USS Midway and the USS New Jersey, may actually be better maintained and in better condition than active warships.

Amidst voices mocking the Americans' incompetence, the fleet gradually entered the Indian Ocean.

As dusk settled, the waves rolled on.

The southwest winds of summer are about to arrive in the Indian Ocean, bringing with them scorching heat waves that repeatedly sweep across the Indian subcontinent.

Once the coalition's super battle formation entered the Indian Ocean, they disappeared from public view.

But as India cuts off internet access nationwide, yet its citizens desperately crave online services to satisfy their limited spiritual needs, all sorts of rumors circulate privately. Meanwhile, electricians stealing electricity continue their efforts to provide free power to the public.

Countless places secretly plugged the internet cable back in, and gossip became the only entertainment news left for the nation.

Meanwhile, outside Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, for some unknown reason, many more container ships have sailed in.

The ship was not carrying cargo, but rather the South Indian Rifles organized by the Southern Command.

The Southeast Asian Indian rifle captain, who could speak Mandarin, gave instructions to the troops in Telugu and Tamil:

“You are Indian immigrants brought to Southeast Asia by the British. The previous government did not drive you away, but gave you this and that, and you lived in your own communities. You formed gangs, smuggled, trafficked, and sold goods. These crimes brought you to me. Now it's different! You have joined the army, and I can shoot those troublemakers who don't obey at any time.”

As the containers gradually approached the shore, the Indian captains on board brandished their whips, urging the gangsters and their converted prisoner rifle squads to storm the beach:

"Charge! Charge! You bunch of pigs, get forward!"

A large flag was raised high, and the South Indian Rifles, carrying Li Xinghe's military flag, once again entered Visakhapatnam.

Chapter 928: Hyderabad Animal Protection Girl, Love Comes from Thunderbolt 15 (4800 words)

4 month 17 day.

India has just begun its Holi festival celebrations.

Holi, the Hindu New Year.

On this auspicious day, Indians should be throwing paint of various colors at each other. During this once-a-year spring festival celebration, lower castes are specially permitted to spray paint at higher castes, venting their discontent with the caste system through playful antics.

However, the people of Visakhapatnam had already consumed the 'sulfur-yellow poisonous fog' created by He Yang and Wu Kongshu, so most of them had no intention of celebrating the Spring Festival.

When the Telugu and Tamil people who climbed out of containers bearing American or British flags appeared in Visakhapatnam, Chennai (Madras), and Pondicherry and returned to their hometowns according to their ethnic affiliations, the locals were still full of questions.

"We're back to collect debts!" ​​someone shouted.

"Fool, you came back to rebuild your hometown!" the team leader beside him reminded him.

Southeast Asian Indians mainly come from various ethnic groups in South India. After several generations of evolution, they are now quite different from the native Indians. They do not completely regard the Telugu people of Andhra Pradesh as their fellow countrymen. In fact, their accents have become quite different.

When the coalition forces brought them back, they promised to let them replace the original army and internal police of the state and become the new local leaders. Therefore, they were promised many benefits such as returning to their hometowns to become local civil servants and councilors.

These people landed first, serving as cannon fodder, engaging in low-intensity battles with local police, gangs, and powerful families to prevent the main force from being bogged down and to ensure the assault troops could advance rapidly.

Soon, the rifle team clashed with local police in a low-intensity conflict, which escalated into a brawl with the gang.

Half a day later, the local police force had collapsed, and the gang members, after recognizing each other as relatives, agreed to assist the occupying forces in bringing about Modi's downfall. The gang leaders were already local councilors, so changing their identities was easy for them.

Especially considering that the South is largely Congress Party territory, which differs significantly from the BJP, which promotes religious and ethnic identity, such compromises were even more frequent. (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated text.)

When Major General He Yang landed in Andhra Pradesh again, the locals had already begun promoting the soon-to-be-established 'South India United Party'.

The roll-on/roll-off ship gradually docked, and the Type 16 wheeled assault vehicles on board were gradually unloaded.

The soldiers came down carrying rifles and observed the foreign sky.

In addition to the First Armored Division, which is an elite and exemplary unit of the entire army, the Fifth Air Force, which has returned once again, is also carrying out the northward advance mission.

The coalition's logistics cooks, being in India, the land of spices, naturally took out spices purchased from the market and put large chunks of beef sold in the market into a large pot.

Southern Indians are not as obsessed with beef and their diet as those in the north; they eat meat as usual. Therefore, beef is sold in large quantities.

The cooks brought in lunch:

"Today's lunch is beef curry and a large bowl of stew."

Although it's called curry, Indian curry would be extremely harmful to the stomachs of Chinese people, so it was actually Japanese curry prepared by the Japanese cooks on the ship. The large bowl of stew is a typical mixed dish found to varying degrees throughout China.

With large chunks of meat in their mouths, the thick curry sauce soaked into the rice. The soldiers ate their lunch in a hurried and excited manner, preparing for the battle to come.

The Telugu detachment of the South Indian Rifles will accompany them into Telangana to capture Hyderabad.

Hyderabad is a very old city. Around the 18th century, it was the capital of the Mughal Empire under Aurangzeb, representing the Mughal Empire's ambition to conquer the countries of South India.

Similarly, this is also a transportation hub in the Deccan Plateau.

After lunch, He Yang took command and the assault force carefully selected 400 well-maintained Type 16 wheeled assault vehicles, field-ready Hongqi air defense missile vehicles, and self-propelled artillery, followed by a large number of military trucks and temporarily rented cars to transport various troops.

"set off!"

Meanwhile, the 54th Division in Hyderabad reluctantly left their city post. They had barely left Hyderabad to quell a rebellion on the southeast coast when they encountered reconnaissance drones flying overhead.

Soon, they had to speed up because the enemy's follow-up bombing drones had arrived.

The 54th Division, whose insignia was the Highland Bison, was now running wildly across the Great Plains like a blind bison.

Rumors circulated within the military that the Chinese army was terrifying, extremely ruthless in its attacks, and skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

"Air raid! Air raid!"

Major General Ashlesh Kumar shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, despite issuing orders to his subordinates in Hindi, English, and Telugu, a large portion of the soldiers were still in a daze. Most couldn't understand their commander's accented commands, and a small fraction were completely bewildered.

After the reconnaissance troops spotted them, suicide drones and 155mm artillery shells followed closely, landing among the soldiers and exploding into bursts of explosive energy. The intense artillery fire was short and sharp as K9 self-propelled howitzers unleashed shells that should have landed on the heads of the Mexicans at the Indian Army.

During the artillery battle, the 54th Infantry Division, which was on the march, quickly fell into chaos. Their trucks were destroyed, and none of the BMP-1 support vehicles survived.

After finally organizing the formation, the Type 16 wheeled assault vehicle was already speeding up in front of them.

"Boom!"

The 105mm tank gun emitted a sharp whistle, accidentally blowing Major General Kumar's command post into the air. The 54th Infantry Division immediately broke up into pieces and began to scatter, then was captured by the South Indian Rifles in the field like rabbits.

As soldiers from China and various parts of the Asia-Pacific region rode into the city in Type 16 wheeled assault vehicles, they looked at the young men hiding behind windows, doorways, and corners, their expressions complex, filled with timidity, fear, and hidden discontent.

The people of Hyderabad are observing the Chinese, whom they've mentioned in textbooks for decades, while the Chinese are also observing this city of ten million people, the sixth largest economy in India.

The streets were alright, narrow and uneven, with potholes everywhere in the asphalt and concrete, indicating at least basic municipal maintenance. The trees lining the roads were either withered or absent. Only the main roads had six and four lanes.

The city's slums are widespread and staggering in number. Dilapidated roof tiles, tin sheds, and plastic sheeting are the main building materials. A little further in, you can see small brick and tile houses, reminiscent of the red-brick houses of the last century. These buildings are densely packed, one next to another. These areas can hardly be considered roads; the streets are rugged and chaotic, and small restaurants and roadside stalls are the mainstay of livelihoods.

But right next to the vast slums and poor neighborhoods is a modern central business district with stadiums, cricket grounds, and city gardens.

Some soldiers asked:

"The locals seem somewhat apathetic."

Of course, some people also answered:

"If I made you unable to connect to the internet for several days and then watched your own army lose battles, wouldn't you feel the same way?"

In urban life in India, the distinction between Brahmins and Dalits has long since lost its significance for comparison.

A region may have dozens of castes, which belong to different professions. Their professions can be broadly classified as Brahmin or Kshatriya, but they are not entirely the same.

Especially in large cities, the comparison of social status is based not only on caste, but more importantly on wealth, position, military strength, and background. A person's social status is determined through multi-dimensional evaluation. In the current situation in India, those who have real power in large cities are still government officials, the wealthy, gang leaders, and members of parliament (similar to gangsters).

So when the coalition forces victoriously entered Hyderabad and anchored between Lake Husseinsar and the municipal residence in the city center, the locals put forward a representative to negotiate.

Hyderabad Mayor Gadwar Vijayalakshmi was brought in from his official residence with a stiff expression.

When they saw her, everyone was still taken aback.

With her light-colored skin like that of a Black person from the East African plateau, numerous sparkling accessories, and plump figure, her attire was a very stereotypical Southern Brahmin woman, almost making one suspect that she dressed in this way to cater to the fantasies of voters.

Before the coalition forces could say anything, Ms. Gardwal immediately said:

"I am an American citizen!"

This is an American.

It's not a big deal; there are many people like that in South India. As the main force of immigrants to the United States, many South Indians return from the US, bringing both American capital investment and the American lifestyle. The United Nations itself hopes to support Vance's ex-wife, Usha Chalukuri, to change her US citizenship back to India and run for Chief Minister in her home state.

Sister Gadwal is a member of the Congress Party, and the experience she brought back from the United States was related to small-scale animal protection.

In 2023, a tragic incident occurred in Hyderabad where three stray dogs killed a four-year-old boy. Gardwal's response was that stray dogs biting people meant they were hungry, and that if the dogs were fed, they would stop biting.

Therefore, she condemned those dog lovers who used to feed dogs but now stop, arguing that these people were responsible for the boy being bitten to death by a starving dog. She also announced that she would adopt 600 stray dogs every month to solve the problem of stray dog ​​bites.

Some people might find her abstract and ask, "How can someone like that be a mayor?"

But there was only one reason why she became the mayor of Dae Terapah: her father was a long-time member of parliament who had been involved in politics in the state for decades.

When asked why the Indians offered no resistance, or rather, why they showed no reaction to the annihilation of the 54th Division, Ms. Gadwar replied without any hesitation:

"They are not our people."

Yes, the 54th Division stationed in Hyderabad were not Telugu, nor Hyderabadians; they didn't even understand the southern languages, so the Hyderabadians certainly wouldn't sympathize with them.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

The Indian army is a prime example.

Because it fully inherited the military system from Britain, each unit's battalion had its own recruitment area, which was a regiment with various administrative attributes. For example, the Gurkha Regiment, the Assam Rifles, the Marathi Light Infantry Regiment, and so on.

Although the 54th Division was stationed on Telugu territory, its nine infantry battalions came from six different recruiting units: the Kashmir Rifles, the 3rd Gurkha Regiment, the Madras Regiment, the Maratha Light Infantry Regiment, the 5th Gurkha Rifles, and the Sikh Infantry Regiment.

Those familiar with Indian geography will know that of these six conscription units, four originated in the Himalayas, one from Mumbai, and one from Chennai. None of them were Telugu-speaking units that recruited local castes.

This brings up another interesting tidbit: because India has four major divisions based on race, caste, religion, and language, different conscription units have their own fixed religious, racial, caste, and language requirements for recruitment. For example, the Madras Regiment used to recruit only warriors of the Nair caste who spoke Tamil and practiced the local branch of Hinduism. Even though things have changed considerably in recent years, and restrictions have loosened, this model of recruiting from within the same community has remained unchanged.

So whether these people live or die is of no concern to the citizens of Hyderabad.

After a lecture on 'gratitude,' Mayor Gadwar immediately betrayed her father in New Delhi, announcing that 1000 million people in Hyderabad were collectively opposing the Modi government.

An advisor asked:

Is this the end?

He Yang, however, compared the highway lines on the map and said to his subordinates:
