Varun knew that meeting the Indian National Army (INA), though a crucial step, presented a unique challenge.
The INA, effectively non-existent within India, maintained its Supreme Command Office in Singapore.
To travel there empty-handed, seeking an alliance, was a proposition that didn't align with his strategic thinking.
He understood the importance of offering tangible value, a demonstration of their capabilities.
Therefore, he resolved to prepare a substantial offering before embarking on his journey.
He planned to mass-produce 2,000 AK-47 rifles, 1,000 .50 caliber rifles, and 50 of the 50-kilometer-range enhanced walkie-talkies.
These were not merely gifts; they were tools of war, instruments of communication, and powerful symbols of their burgeoning strength.
He understood that such a display of advanced weaponry and communication technology would serve as a compelling foundation for their alliance with the INA.
"While waiting for the five days to pass, until the production line components were ready, Varun focused on the strategic groundwork for his next steps.'
He understood that simply forging alliances was not enough;
he needed to ensure seamless cooperation and a strong, unbreakable bond between the various factions.
He meticulously planned the necessary steps to foster this unity, recognizing that their success depended on their collective strength and unwavering trust.
Beyond the immediate alliances, Varun envisioned a broader, more ambitious strategy:
the creation of a personal army, a network of strategically placed bases throughout India.
He aimed to establish a base in the capital city of each state, creating a solid and unassailable foundation for his mission and plans.
These bases would serve as hubs for recruitment, training, and resource distribution, ensuring a consistent and powerful presence across the entire subcontinent.
In the interim, Varun tasked Daivik with a crucial assignment: to devise a comprehensive plan for establishing the strategically placed bases in each state. He emphasized the need for detailed layouts, logistical considerations, and security protocols.
Furthermore, recognizing the importance of technological superiority,
Varun asked Daivik to design enhanced engines for vehicles, fighter jet, tanks and ships, both powered by petroleum.
While the designs for tank and fighter jet engines would be crucial for future endeavors,
the immediate focus was on improving the efficiency and performance of commercial vehicles like cars and ships.
This would provide a dual benefit : strengthening their logistical capabilities and establishing a source of revenue through the sale of these advanced engines.

The Night Of Delivery
The night arrived, and under the cover of darkness,
the blacksmith, his apprentices, and several Hindu Mahasabha members delivered the completed production line components.
Varun, inspecting the meticulously crafted machinery, nodded in satisfaction.
He then turned his attention to the blacksmith and his apprentices, their faces etched with fatigue but illuminated by a palpable excitement.
'I know,' Varun began, his voice sincere, 'that you will not accept monetary compensation for your invaluable assistance.'
'But rest assured, your dedication will not go unrewarded. I will design a state-of-the-art smithy, equipped with the most advanced tools you could ever find.'
'This facility will significantly alleviate your workload, allowing you to complete tasks with greater efficiency and less effort.'
A wave of gratitude washed over the blacksmith and his apprentices.
They exchanged relieved glances, the apprentices thinking, 'Finally, our hard work will yield something truly beneficial.
----------------------------------
Varun then instructed them to assemble the components, emphasizing the integration of the motors he had provided.
Alongside the production line, he had also supplied designs for water turbines, optimized for molding the metal into desired shapes.
He had already procured a large quantity of magnets, copper wires, and rubber-coated twisted-pair copper wires for electricity transmission.
He personally assembled the motor components, following Daivik's detailed instructions, and then, utilizing the tunnel, transported the water turbines to the river within the forest.
There, he installed them, connecting them to the motors with the prepared wiring.
He assigned Hindu Mahasabha members to guard the turbine's perimeter, establishing a five-shift rotation, with four guards per shift.
Returning to the production line, he found it fully assembled.
The motors, precisely positioned, were ready to automate the manufacturing process.
A palpable tension filled the air, a culmination of the collective effort invested in this project.
'Everyone present here has worked tirelessly to bring this to fruition,' Varun said, his voice resonating with gratitude.
'Now, we witness the fruits of our labor.'
A unified cry of 'Har Har Mahadev!' echoed through the chamber as Varun activated the newly designed switch.
The production line sprang to life, its gears whirring and its mechanisms moving with a rhythmic precision.
A wave of unrestrained joy swept through the chamber.
Everyone present erupted in cheers, jumping with excitement, laughter echoing through the underground halls.
They embraced each other, their faces beaming with the shared triumph of their collective effort.
The tension that had held them captive moments before dissolved into pure, unadulterated elation.
