Not long ago, the Indian garrison was finally driven out by the Maldives, which is considered a major setback to India's geopolitical ambitions, and as many people feared before, India must have held a grudge, and the front foot was driven out, and the back foot began to act against the Maldives.
India plans to build a military base in the Krasha Islands, which is about to be commissioned, and is only 130 kilometers from the Maldives, after India had nearly 400 kilometers from the closest military base to the Maldives, according to **.
According to India, this military base will be used to expand "operational surveillance" capabilities in the region; Blocked at the door of the Maldives, who is this to spy on? The answer is at a glance, and the Maldives will of course feel a chill, because the Indian army is tantamount to "putting artillery on its own doorstep".
The Maldives has no formal army, only one *** guard, a total number of about 3,000 people, almost no heavy **, most of them have not received systematic military training. Such an insignificant force, India still needs to be "monitored"? It's obviously covetous.
Historically, India has been hostile to its neighbors, including annexing Sikkim, interfering in Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, supporting terrorist groups in Pakistan, and even preparing to move on Myanmar, while pursuing an adverse policy toward China and encroaching on our territory at every opportunity.
In addition to intervening in the Red Sea crisis, the Indian Navy recently dispatched a dual-aircraft carrier lineup to participate in the "Milan-2024" multinational joint exercise; Just two days ago, India announced the seizure of a merchant ship bound for Pakistan from China, claiming that it had an advanced machine tool that could be used to produce missile parts, but Pakistani information showed that it was an ordinary machine tool for producing car parts.
Whatever India's motives, it is clear that it is here to make trouble. When a Chinese research ship docked in the Maldives, the outside world believed that India could not prevent the growth of China's influence in the Indian Ocean, which dealt a huge blow to India's self-esteem and made India's maritime ambitions even more ridiculous. Therefore, it is easy for the outside world to find out the motive of this arrest operation, which is nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of the unstable situation in the sea around China to give China a disadvantage and demonstrate India's dominance over the Indian Ocean.
India's ability to play tricks and take advantage of small advantages has always been very good, but for big countries, strength is the last word. India wants to dominate the Indian Ocean, and to be honest, it really won't be his turn; But we do need to be highly vigilant against India's ambitions in this regard, after all, India's ambitions are big enough to bring an ocean, even if it is just the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea; Although India's sea power is not enough to swallow these two places, it still has the ability to give you trouble, so we must be very vigilant.
