Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

The Bahrainers' repeated demands had already made things very difficult for the Americans. They had finally gritted their teeth and agreed to those conditions, but unexpectedly, the Bahrainers wanted to add more conditions!

However... there's nothing we can do about it. After all, what India is doing is indeed a challenge to the world order!

"Alright, so how do you want to punish the Indians?"

"First, freeze all of India's funds abroad. Aren't you worried about military spending lately? Freeze hundreds of billions of dollars of Indian funds, and you'll have money for this war."

General Miller was taken aback.

War requires money. If all of India's overseas funds are frozen, it would amount to more than tens of billions. Moreover, they could take this money with a clear conscience, since doing so would be going against the world's will!

Everyone in the world knows that Americans live a comfortable life, able to live on welfare even without working. However, this lifestyle is built on the bloodshed of other countries.

Western Europe, island nations, South Korea, and so on are all easy targets. When needed, we can bleed them dry, and these countries won't dare to resist!

However, it's not appropriate to keep exploiting allies. India has always been a country that can play both sides and is a staunch ally of Russia. Taking action against India can also weaken Russia. This idea is feasible!

"Any more?"

"Secondly, sensitive goods in fields such as semiconductors, computers, electronic equipment, and aerospace are included in the export control list. These items could potentially be used by India to manufacture mushroom bombs or delivery vehicles," Jamal continued.

This reason sounds quite convincing, but what benefits can the United States gain from it?

Meeting Miller's questioning gaze, Jamal continued, "Of course, we hope that these sanctions will not just remain words, but will be put into action. In particular, we must prevent certain smugglers from profiting from this and selling to Indians at high prices!"

General Miller understood instantly.

The so-called sanctions aren't that strict. Even with the strained relationship between the US and Persia, arms dealers still smuggled Tomcat fighter jet parts to Persia. The Persians could buy them, they'd just have to pay a high price!

In this way, a group of people will make a fortune!

It will definitely be more convenient for these troops fighting in South Asia. When the supply ships pass by India, they can make a lot of money by simply throwing some things into the sea!

“That’s right, we need to implement this sanction measure. We absolutely cannot allow the Indians to use our Western peaceful civilian products for military purposes!” General Miller nodded.

Jamal was overjoyed!

President Qin's proposed plan is indeed brilliant. If these sanctions get out, will India still dare to openly develop nuclear weapons? As long as they don't detonate them, they will never be able to determine whether their design is suitable, and therefore they will not be able to mass-produce them!

These methods can not only delay India's progress in equipping itself with mushroom bombs, but also make India look bad!

"Any more?"

“Of course,” Jamal continued. “If the previous sanctions still can’t make India give up, then we need to unite the entire West and kick India out of the SWIFT system!”

General Miller was taken aback; this tactic was ruthless!

With the increasing frequency of international trade, the traditional manual processing methods used in the early days could no longer keep up with customer demands. Therefore, in the early 1970s, under the leadership of the United States, Western banks established an international communication system.

By using standardized message formats, banks in various countries can process a wide range of financial transactions very quickly. Its emergence has shortened the time required for international remittances and other transactions, which originally took a week or even half a month, to one or two days, greatly facilitating customers.

Later, as more and more countries connected, it gradually became a global banking transaction system and a renowned international fund clearing system!

The standardized message format and the global network make it safe, reliable, fast, and efficient in improving the speed of bank settlements. In other words, being kicked out of this system means you can no longer conduct international transactions!

India might have ignored the first two and continued to go its own way, but this follow-up move forces it to consider the consequences!

General Miller nodded: "Yes, that's something to consider as a follow-up measure! Anything else?"

"Well, if these methods don't work, then it'll be military. Your determination to defend the global order hasn't changed, has it?"

If necessary, deploy a few aircraft carriers!

Back then, India dismembered Pakistan, separating East Pakistan. Not satisfied with that, they planned to strike while the iron was hot, advancing westward to completely destroy Pakistan. Then, an American aircraft carrier arrived, and India had no choice but to back down.

If India insists on going its own way, then we will have no choice but to resort to force.

General Miller frowned. The aircraft carrier would definitely be involved in the upcoming war, and if it could come along to scare the Indians, that would be fine too. So he continued to nod.

"Any more?"

"If these methods are not enough, then you might as well just destroy India's nuclear industry..."

General Miller shook his head: "No, no, this really won't do!"

New Delhi, the capital of India.

"Recently, there has been a lot of criticism from the international community regarding our nuclear policy. However, we cannot back down; we must persevere! We will wait for the United States to negotiate with us, and at that time, we will firmly protest the US plan to provide military aid to Pakistan!"

"That's right. If the Americans don't negotiate, Pakistan will definitely lose patience and test a nuclear weapon as well. In that case, Pakistan will not be able to get American military aid, and it will have to accept sanctions!"

No matter how you look at it, the timing of this mushroom bomb test was perfect!

In addition to these, they can also boost public support!

As the saying goes, fortunes change, and today it's my turn. In India, it will take a long time to get a seat. Previously, the Gandhi family monopolized all the seats.

Nehru stepped down, his daughter Indira came to power, Indira stepped down, and his son Rajiv came to power. It wasn't until Rajiv was assassinated in 91 that the family's rule came to an end. However, the newly appointed government was still unstable. This test of the mushroom bomb can effectively enhance their international influence!

"The Americans are here!" Just then, a voice rang out from outside.

An American diplomat calmly walked in: "Gentlemen, I'd like to convey the White House's opinion: if you insist on continuing your nuclear tests, then we will seize all your overseas assets."

The higher-ups remained silent. They had anticipated this outcome; the items seized were not government property, but rather those belonging to various companies.

"We will also include various high-tech products in the export control list and strictly prohibit their sale here."

Those in power still don't care. If they can't buy it openly, can't they buy it secretly?

"If you continue to go your own way and test a nuclear bomb, you will be kicked out of the SWIFT system."

"What?" The Indians were shocked: "You can't do this!"
