18th October 1659
A few days before operations in Dutch Indonesia restarted
Deputy Director of Bharatiya External Pragya, Southeast Asia Branch, Jalandhar Keshav, held an important meeting with Vijay in Visakhapatnam.
"Your Majesty, the conditions have gotten better. Should we restart the operations?" Jalandhar Keshav asked with anticipation.
Vijay leaned back into his chair and thought for a while. "What's the situation with the Dutch?" he inquired.
Jalandhar immediately responded, "Merchant and supply vessels going for Indonesia through the Indian Ocean have almost been completely eliminated as the Bharatiya Navy has completely blocked off entry into the Malacca Strait."
"All the supplies from the Dutch mainland have fully stopped. And, Your Majesty," he had a knowing smile on his face, "Indonesia does not have weapons manufacturing capabilities, so the resistance they can put up without support from the Dutch mainland is minimal."
