"Now, note down the time it takes to send a message from point A to whatever the destination point is. You don’t have to stick with the system I used; all of you can discuss together, set your own code names, and divide the tasks among yourselves."
As soon as themand was given, a group of 40 or so data analysts immediately got to work. A single person among them took the lead and started issuing orders. It’s interesting to note that this individual was the one who seeded Meera, the current editor-in-chief of Bharatam Daily newspaper and the director of Raya Media Corporation.
The RAW leader Bharadwaj said, "For the coding, we will start with C1, C2, C3, C4, D1, D2, D3, D4, etc., until Y4, which should give us enough code names to fit all the destination points."
"Let us divide into four groups, with eight analysts in one group.
"Raghav, Veena, Bhargav, Jaiprakash, Neeraj, Manoj, and Deputy Chandra will form a separate group with me."
Vijay silently observed this operation withoutmenting. He was impressed by the swift division ofbour, but it was not out of the ordinary; these analysts were the best in the empire, being the main analytical researchers in one of the three intelligence organizations. This level ofpetency was not unexpected.
The research and analysis wing started to calcte the times for each and every destination. Meanwhile, he quickly took out a rough piece of paper and began his own work. His task was not too hard, as he just had to create a simple form to find out the dy of messages for each point.
Vijay first assigned a variable (TI) where (T) represents the time taken and (I) represents the destination point.
Then he came up with the variable (Δti) which is the dy for each destination point, and X is the time taken for the longest message, which is 12 hours.
Putting all together vijay came up with the form "Δti = X - Ti"
"We areplete, Your Majesty," Bharadwaj, the leader of the research and analysis wing, stated while waiting for further instructions.
Vijay looked up, grabbed a chalk piece, and wrote the formrge enough for everyone to see:
"Δti = X - Ti"
"Δti (Delta Ti) means the dy required for each destination point I."
"X is the longest possible time taken to reach the farthest point."
"Ti is the time taken to reach each destination point."
"Now do the calctions."
The sound of scribbling filled the room, and within 30 minutes, answers were produced one group at a time.
"Destination point B: First to send the message, ced at null point, 0 hours."
"Destination point D3: Send the message after 3 minutes dy."
"Destination point C4: Send the message after 8 minutes dy."
...
...
"Destination point K4: Send the message after 3 hours dy."
"Destination point E3: Send the message after 3 hours 10 minutes dy."
...
...
"Destination point B2: Send the message after 6 hours 30 minutes dy."
"Destination point H1: Send the message after 9 hours 50 minutes dy."
...
...
"Destination point Z: Send the message after 12 hours dy."
"End sequence."
Vijay was constantly looking at the map every time a destination point was called out, while a few agents were writing down the names in sequence to pass the sequence list to the encryptors and workers in the Arkha Dristhimunication station to send the messages at exact times.
At the end of the sequence, Vijay roughly calcted the data and nodded his head in confirmation, as the farthest ce would receive the message at the same time as the nearest ce.
Give or take 80 to 90 minutes is the variability in the timing.
By the time the calctions on the sequence chart were prepared, Selvan also received confirmation messages from the farthest handlers who had yet to state their status.
"Your majesty, all the 80 handlers are on standby. The mission is a go."
Vijay nodded his head, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, cleared his thoughts, and after a few minutes, stated in a calm voice,
"Start the procedures."
"Right away, your majesty."
Themand centre immediately burst into intense concentration for the next 12 hours overnight.

Nagpur, being the central part of the empire and the transportation hub of the nation, has a total of four different lines ofmunication channelsing from all over the empire.
Unknown to the citizens of Nagpur, the four separatemunication lines were secretly activated overnight, and messages were sent to different ces in the empire.
Themps in the Arka Drishti Communication Channel constantly flickered as encoded messages were transmitted one by one ording to the sequence.
Given that the Arka Drishti Communication Channel was closed during the night, there wasn’t much government or civilian traffic to manage. Even some routine government messages were not immediately processed. if the priority of a message was not urgent, it was denied ess under the excuse of conducting a maintenance run.
It is for this reason that even though the Arka Drishti Communication channels constantly flickered unusually, it didn’t cause any suspicion within various government organizations, especially since the messages were sent one at a time in a sequence spread across 12 hours over four different channels.
This meant that for a single channel in some parts of the country, it might only receive onemunication message throughout the night, which further amplified the safety of the n.

June 6th, 1658
For the majority of the citizens of the empire, the night passed without any changes. However, for the Mughal remnants hidden within society, the night also passed without any changes, at least ording to their knowledge. In reality, their demise had just begun.
Selvan started the second part of the n. The messages sent overnight were only for the intelligence agents to receive, while the second part of the n involved sending official messages to various city panchayats throughout the northern part of the empire.
"His Majesty the Emperor will arrive in Raipur tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM. Be ready to receive him."
The city administrators, civil servants, and government workers throughout the western part of the empire were simultaneously overwhelmed by the news. They were both overjoyed and stressed out, but they had to prepare for a wee ceremony, no matter how unprepared they were.
They tried tomunicate with the surrounding cities to understand the situation, but to their surprise, they received an encrypted message from the higher-ups: "His Majesty ising to Raipur on an important mission with secrecy. As a result, allmunications will be cut off until His Majesty leaves, in order to both protect his safety and fully iste any news from leaking out."
The higher-ups of Raipur City were a little confused, but in the end, they had no doubt about the order, as it really dide from their superiors, and the secret code they received in the encrypted message matched the protocols they had been given.

Simultaneously, unbeknownst to the top leaders of Raipur, thousands of cities in the northern part of the empire received the same message as them and began to arrange for celebrations for the arrival of His Majesty Vijay Devaraya.
The excuse used by the intelligence department topletely iste each city from the others inadvertently boosted the local economies of the cities throughout the northern part of the empire.
This was pleasant news, as a local economic shake-up would be of huge benefit in theplete integration of the northern economy with the southern one.
Nevertheless, the news spread like wildfire within each city, with every city believing that His Majesty would being to them.
In this process, a few hidden foxes within the city and its surrounding areas also heard the news, making them restless with excitement and anticipation.
"Zamir, our time hase, brother."
"Faizan, prepare the explosives. It’s time to blow this hateful kafir and restore our glorious empire."
"Hahaha, Nasir, we will be thendlords once again and rule these worthless ves. Once again, we will restore the glory of our ancestors that our fathers destroyed. Brother, let’s go! We have to immediately call our people who are willing to help. This is our biggest opportunity so far."
Various Mughal remnants began to show their true colours in this special time, but sadly unknown to these people, their every action was secretly observed by the intelligence agents. Previously, they were well hidden within society and did not show their tails, making them invisible to the intelligence organization.
However, with the opportunity to assassinate the Rajyapati of the empire, they couldn’t remain hidden any longer.
Almost tantly, campaigns were held within various cities to recruit members for their cause.
Their actions were noticed not only by the intelligence department but also by the local police departments, who caught a whiff of this conspiracy.
The police officers, knowing the importance of the event being held the next day, immediately mobilized all the constables and the reserve force within the city to hunt down this rebellious faction.
Overnight, Throughout the northern part of the empire in hundreds of cities, nearly 135,000 people were arrested and put into custody for propagating assassination against the emperor.
This was another pleasant surprise for Vijay, as he did not expect these remnants to be so tant as to actually campaign in such a bold way. This ended up being a huge boon for Vijay; not only could bloodshed be reduced in the eyes of the public, but the reason he would use after the Weeding n would also be more legitimate, making it easier for people to believe.
Throughout the empire, the various police departments finally rested, believing that they had eliminated the threat to His Majesty the Emperor. However, the intelligence departments hidden in various parts of the nation knew that this threat had only reduced significantly and notpletely disappeared, as the core members who started the campaign were still atrge in the majority of cases.
In a minority of instances, even the core figures were beaten up and arrested for being too arrogant.
For these individuals, not to mention Selvan, even the agents who kept an eye on them were speechless at their brain-dead behaviour.
P.S. Correction it is 135,000 who were arrested not 35,000
