Salomon Islands, Chagos Archipelago, February 15, 1944

The sun was setting over the Salomon Islands, casting a golden hue over the newly captured base. The Bharatiya Navy had regrouped and was now preparing for the next phase of their mission. Admiral Rajan and Captain Arjun stood on the deck of BNS Pratap, watching as two massive motherships approached the harbor. These vessels, BNS Garuda and BNS Shakti, were the latest additions to Bharat's naval fleet, equipped with high-tech drones designed by Aryan to counter the Axis's advanced energy weapons and future modern warfare. Aryan knew very well how drones would become a cornerstone of modern wars, providing unmatched infiltration capabilities, bypassing enemy radar systems, and offering advanced surveillance and various other strategic roles in a military force.

As the motherships docked, Admiral Rajan turned to Captain Arjun. "These new vessels are a game-changer, Arjun. The drones they carry will give us the edge we need against the Axis's energy weapons." During the battle between the Axis and the British Navy, Bharat was naturally keeping an eye on the outcome. Seeing the reports of the battle, Admiral Rajan was very worried, but the addition of these motherships carrying the drones, sent on an urgent notice by the high command, made him very relieved as he had seen firsthand the capabilities of these drones when they were demonstrated and later trained in their usage a few months back.

Captain Arjun nodded, his eyes fixed on the impressive ships. "Indeed, Admiral. The intelligence reports indicate that these drones can neutralize the energy weapons before they even reach our ships. It's exactly what we need for the assault on Diego Garcia."

The two officers walked towards the docking area, where the crew of the motherships was busy unloading the drones. Commander Mehta joined them, holding a tablet displaying the specifications of the new drones.

"Admiral, Captain, these drones are equipped with advanced jamming systems and EMP capabilities," Mehta explained. "They can disrupt the Axis's energy weapons and provide real-time reconnaissance. We've also integrated state-of-the-art machine learning capabilities for autonomous operations. Additionally, we have the most advanced Kamikaze drones loaded with explosives to destroy enemy weapons without any human sacrifice on our part."

Admiral Rajan studied the tablet, impressed by the capabilities. "Excellent. We'll need to deploy these drones strategically. Our primary targets are the Axis battleships and their main base at Diego Garcia."

Captain Arjun added, "We should also use them to secure our flanks and provide cover for our submarines. The Axis will likely have their own defenses in place."

As they discussed tactics, the first wave of drones was launched from BNS Garuda. The sleek, unmanned aircraft took to the sky, their engines humming with precision. The crew watched as the drones performed a series of maneuvers, demonstrating their agility and speed.

"Impressive," Rajan remarked. "These drones will be crucial in our next engagement. We need to ensure they're fully operational and integrated with our fleet."

Commander Mehta nodded. "We've already begun the integration process. The drones will be ready for deployment within the hour."

Admiral Rajan turned to Captain Arjun. "Prepare your crew, Arjun. We'll launch a coordinated strike at dawn. Our objective is to neutralize the Axis's energy weapons and secure Diego Garcia."

Captain Arjun saluted. "Understood, Admiral. We'll be ready."

As night fell over the Chagos Archipelago, the Bharatiya Navy prepared for the battle ahead. The new motherships and their high-tech drones had bolstered their strength, and the fleet was ready to face the Axis forces once more.

Diego Garcia, Axis Command Center, February 15, 1944

The command center buzzed with activity as high-ranking officers from the Japanese Imperial Navy and Nazi Germany, including several Hydra agents disguised as Nazi officers, gathered around a large table. Maps of the Chagos Archipelago were spread out, marked with the latest intelligence reports.

General Klaus von Richter, a Hydra agent, leaned over the table, his eyes narrowing as he studied the positions of the Bharatiya Navy. "Hmm, it seems we have enough supply of advanced weapons that will ensure that Bharat's forces are obliterated. They may have captured the northern part of the archipelago, but they won't hold it for long."

Admiral Yamamoto, representing the Japanese forces, nodded in agreement. "Yes, their technology is growing at an impressive pace, but for now it is no match for our weapons. We must strike swiftly and decisively."

Colonel Hans Müller, another Hydra operative, snorted arrogantly. "Hmph, the Bharatiya Navy is simply overconfident. They believe they can challenge us, but they are gravely mistaken. Our weapons will crush their fleet and send a clear message."

Captain Hiroshi Tanaka, a seasoned Japanese officer who had recently suffered a significant loss in Indonesian waters, voiced a note of caution. "Gentlemen, although what you just said might be true, we should not underestimate them. Their recent victories show they are capable and resourceful. We must be prepared for any surprises." Although somewhat confident in their own capabilities, he still felt uneasy about something being amiss and was very worried about the emergence of any unexpected surprises from the Bharatiya Navy.

Von Richter waved off the concern. "Haha, you are needlessly worried. Their victories are mere flukes. Our energy weapons will decimate their ships before they can even get close. We have the upper hand."

Admiral Yamamoto interjected, "Ahem, everyone, I need to remind you that being cautious is way better than being caught off guard by underestimating the enemy. We must consider their potential strategies. They may attempt to flank us or use their submarines to disrupt our supply lines. We need to be vigilant."

Müller, still confident, added, "Our defenses are impenetrable. The energy weapons will create a barrier they cannot breach. We will deploy them strategically around Diego Garcia to ensure complete coverage."

As the officers continued their discussion, the atmosphere in the room was a mix of confidence and underlying tension. They were aware of Bharat's growing capabilities but remained convinced of their superiority.

General von Richter concluded the meeting with a final directive. "Prepare the energy weapons for immediate deployment. We will launch a preemptive strike at dawn. Let us remind Bharat of the might of the Axis powers."

The officers saluted and dispersed to their respective duties, the weight of the impending battle heavy on their shoulders. As night fell over Diego Garcia, the Axis forces readied themselves for the confrontation, confident in their advanced weaponry and their ability to reclaim the Chagos Archipelago.
