While Adav focused on economic warfare, the Codex's [Historical Database] continued to flag critical flashpoints. One that particularly concerned him was the Ghadar Mutiny (historically 1915), a planned armed rebellion by Indian soldiers and expatriates against British rule. The Codex showed it as a bloody, doomed failure, brutally suppressed, leading to countless deaths and setting back the nationalist cause. It was another "design flaw" Adav intended to correct.
Through Bose's network, now significantly expanded and subtly reoriented towards intelligence gathering by Adav's funding, Adav learned that Ghadarite revolutionaries were indeed planning to incite rebellion amongst Indian Army units. They were passionate, courageous, but dangerously naive about the British military's power and reach.
Adav arranged a secret meeting in a secure, dilapidated warehouse in a quiet part of Calcutta, far from the prying eyes of British intelligence. He met with the top leadership of the Ghadar movement – fiery Sikh and Punjabi revolutionaries, their faces etched with hardened resolve. They eyed the young, composed Adav with suspicion. He was a capitalist, far removed from their revolutionary zeal.
"You plan to fight the British with guns," Adav began, his voice calm, cutting through their revolutionary fervor. "You will die. Thousands will die. And for what? A quick, brutal suppression that will only strengthen the British hand and paint all nationalists as reckless terrorists."
He then brought up the Codex's grim, probabilistic projections. He laid out, with chilling accuracy, how their specific plan would unravel, the betrayals, the overwhelming British firepower. He showed them not just a defeat, but a pointless sacrifice. The Ghadarites, hardened men, found themselves unnerved by the cold, precise truth emanating from the boy.
