Facing the formidable Continent United Army, the British Colonial Government of the Central and Southern Peninsula was completely dumbfounded. Losing maritime power, the Peninsula was like a house with leaks on all sides, unable to withstand the wind and rain.
Even ignoring the difference in combat capabilities between the two sides, the Peninsula could not muster a million men. Yet the enemy also possessed naval and air superiority, allowing them to strike from all directions.
Requests for help were sent to London, and then relayed to India.
After the Battle of Malacca, the Far East shipping lanes were interrupted. Even if reinforcements were immediately dispatched from the homeland, they had to take a detour from India.
Time waits for no one on the battlefield, and the Continent United Army was rapidly approaching. Now, the only support available for the British Central and Southern Peninsula was India.
