The fall of Lisbon was extremely fast. The events that occurred leading to the fall might seem long and complicated, but in reality, from when the tanks landed on the beach to when the city defences formed by the Lisbon Defence Guard were breached, it only took two days, not more, not less.
As for other places, they were not faring any better either. With the Atlantic Navy of the European Union not yet recovered, and the navy that could barely be called one, since most of its ships were merchant ships installed with medium-sized cannons destroyed, Western Europe had nothing to protect its port cities, and, caught off guard by everything happening so suddenly, the Europeans could not mobilise the Mediterranean Navy either.
