After the attacks from guerrillas and Sir Reginald Styles voyage to China to attempt to convince them to return to the World Peace Conference, the international situation worsened to the point that troops amassed along the Russian-Chinese front and that fighting had already started in South America and southern Asia, prompting UNIT to send an urgent message to all "UNIT National HQs".
