Imperial Marshal Nghiêm Quang Hải (11 April 1891 – 8 January 1986) was a Quenminese general officer who commanded the Indiae Imperial Front during the Second Europan War. He has garnered substantial recognition for his defensive operations during the Southern Indiae & Pakistania Campaign, which most military historians regarding it as reminiscent to that of Ármin Katona.
Hải was born to a scholarly family, but decided to make his career in the Imperial Quenminese Army. He served in the First Europan War, and faced against East Europan troops from Bethausia. He would be promoted to Major General during the Fifth Lorican-Quenminese War, and was brevetted to General in 1936. During the initial stage of the Second Europan War, he was promoted to Imperial Marshal and took command of the Indiae Imperial Front, where he lead the Invasions of the Aurucolian Carnatic and East Ceilonnia, the Central Indiae Offensive, and the Northern Indiaen Campaign. By the time of the Southern Indiae & Pakistania Campaign, Hải lead his Imperial Front on the defensive, and employed guerilla tactics against the offensive Allied formations. Observers on both sides noted the effectiveness of his campaigns, which rendered Indiae as one of the last Quenminese occupied territories to be liberated. The campaigns reflected Hải's admiration of Sandoric War-era general Ármin Katona, whose strategies and tactics he intensely studied during his days in military academy. Hải surrendered on 2 May 1945, and in the later years of life, retired from the military to practice law. He died on 8 January 1986 in hospital in Mỹ Xuyên, aged 94.
