Chapter 77: Post-War Economic Blueprint

As the tides of war began to turn against the Axis powers, Adav shifted his focus from wartime opportunism to post-war economic dominance. The Codex's [Global Economic Reconstruction] module provided chillingly accurate predictions of the post-war landscape: devastated economies, nations burdened by debt, and a desperate need for industrial capacity. India, having avoided direct conflict and vastly expanded its industries, was perfectly positioned to fill this void.

Adav meticulously drafted a comprehensive post-war economic blueprint for India. This plan centered on leveraging India's strengthened industrial base to become the world's primary supplier of manufactured goods, raw materials, and even essential foodstuffs. Bharat Corporation began to prepare for a massive expansion of its export capabilities, targeting rebuilding Europe, struggling China, and newly independent nations.

Crucially, Adav devised strategies for debt collection from Allied powers. Many nations, particularly Britain, owed India vast sums for wartime supplies and resources provided by Bharat Corporation. Adav instructed Bose's government to demand repayment not just in currency, but in valuable patents, strategic land concessions (especially for future trade hubs), and even shares in key industries. He also aimed to secure highly favorable long-term trade terms that would cement India's economic supremacy in the coming decades. India was not just planning to participate in the post-war world; it was planning to shape its economic architecture.
