A Critical Blow

While Berengar's Empire spread across the globe at a rapid rate, there was one major player beneath his control who was suffering from anxiety. Emperor Dharya Tomora had been instilled on the Anangpur throne as a puppet for the Reich. In doing so, he had practically sold away all sovereignty. 

For the most part, the German "advisors" who were sent to India in an attempt to help Dharya rebuild his country into a peak pre-industrial state were the ones running the country behind the scenes. Dharya merely needed to be the public face of Indian relations with the Reich. 

Even the Anangpur Army was nothing more than a "foreign legion" to the German Empire. Being equipped and trained for the sole purpose of acting as Berengar's shock troops in the war for Indian hegemony.
