Imperial capital Bengaluru, Akhand Bharatiya Empire
For any kind of news to reach the capital of the Bharatiya Empire from the battlefield in the Middle East, it takes at least 5 to 6 hours using the most expensive communication method that is currently available, and that is the fireworks communication systems designed by the Sri Manjunatha research firm of Commander Akhil.
Vijay had no clue about what was happening in the Middle East. The last major report he had received was about Generals Kaprulu Mustafa Pasha, Uzun Ibrahim Pasha, and Salim Al Abdullah Rahman Pasha mobilising their troops and putting them in standby. Although he did not understand the logic behind the Ottoman Empire deciding to attack the Bharatiya Empire's western border at this unusual moment, he chalked it out to the Ottoman Empire becoming desperate and trying to gain a foothold in the Bharatiya Empire and offset the losses by plundering the rich Bharatiya Empire's territories.
