Chapter 254: Won't you let people live in peace? (1)
🕑 Added 2025-03-02 12:27:25 +0000 UTC"I had no intention of informing you, because unfortunately, the information my subordinates secretly gathered showed that the previous attack was closely linked to certain individuals within your government. However, since you are here now, you might as well explain the issues in these documents to us."
As Nehru entered, Josh calmly gestured to John Stern, who then placed several documents in front of those present.
Claire Voyant and the British representative immediately picked them up with curiosity.
They wanted to see what kind of evidence Josh had. After all, they had been investigating for a while but hadn’t found anything substantial.
However, as they read through the documents, their expressions became more serious.
The evidence was too complete. It detailed the financial transactions and personnel movements within Nehru’s government, all meticulously recorded.
And the final destination of these movements was exactly the area where the UN investigation team had been attacked.
Although there was no direct proof that Nehru’s government was behind the attack, if the data was accurate, it was enough justification for the three countries to take action. For the UK, US, and Russia, actual evidence wasn’t necessary—they just needed an excuse to justify their actions to the public.
Josh’s ambiguous "evidence" was perfect for them.
The only question was—was this information real?
Judging from Nehru’s dark expression, the answer was clear. The details in the documents were completely accurate.
The only false part was the target of these personnel movements. They weren’t aimed at the UN investigation team but at a town in Kashmir, where several pro-pakistan leaders lived.
Kashmir was a vast region, covering 170,000 square kilometers, similar in size to Sulawesi.
However, the land was not rich, and its population was sparse, much like many Central Asian countries.
At the time, it had around five million people—less than half of Sulawesi’s population before Josh took control.
Most of the population was nomadic, with 77% belonging to the green faction, leaning towards Pakistan.
Kashmir had no major cities, and even Srinagar, the former capital, had only a few hundred thousand inhabitants.
A town with more than ten thousand people was considered large.
But now, that town had completely disappeared.
Without a doubt, it was the work of the Indians.
And it wasn’t their first time.
In fact, the first major conflict between India and Pakistan began when, after the Mountbatten Plan was introduced, pro-India factions in Kashmir, with Indian support, systematically massacred nearly 200,000 pro-Pakistan green faction members.
Although Nehru hadn’t directly ordered it, he was aware of the situation and chose to turn a blind eye, covering up his subordinates' actions.
Previously, Ophelia had taken advantage of this, launching an attack on the UN investigation team while the Indians were carrying out their own operations.
Now that Josh had uncovered this evidence of Indian troop movements, Nehru was faced with a dilemma.
Should he admit that his subordinates had carried out a well-organized massacre against the green faction in Kashmir?
Are you crazy?
Does he still want to be the Prime Minister?
Does he still want to unify the country?
India isn't even completely united yet. The Mountbatten Plan may have separated the Indian and Green factions, but it was only a rough division.
In reality, there are still many princely states and tribes of the green faction in India.
If this is exposed, the whole country will be thrown into chaos.
Pakistan will have a legitimate reason to send more troops into Kashmir.
And the international image Nehru worked so hard to build will collapse completely.
The end result? India will fail to unify, Nehru will be forced to step down, and both he and his country’s reputation on the global stage will be completely ruined.
After all, this is a massacre we’re talking about.
This isn’t some distant future where history can be rewritten at will.
World War II just ended not long ago, and the world is still extremely sensitive to such issues.
Even Josh and the Dutch only carried out forced relocations in Java.
When the Americans killed a few hundred people in the Vietnam War, international criticism came down like a storm.
Let alone a massacre of 200,000 people?
If things go wrong, this could lead to charges of crimes against humanity.
That is something Nehru cannot accept.
But if he refuses to admit it, he won’t be able to explain why, at the exact time of the UN investigation team's attack, so many Indian forces were moving in the area.
And that means facing the wrath of the three most powerful nations in the world—Britain, the US, and the Soviet Union.
What the hell is he supposed to do now?
