Breath of the Wild Could post Calamity Hyrule be able to fend of a foreign invasion?

(Specific time-frame: a couple of weeks after the ending of the game)

If you thnk about it, Hyrule's central government no longer exists, and the tribes/settlements are now divided by miles of abandoned and deserted wilderness. To the natives its a post apocalypse, but to an overseas nation, its prime real estate with all that living space and untapped resources. The guardians and divine beasts are a non-factor since its been hinted that they have been deactivated following the resealing of calamity ganon since he relinquished control of the guardians and the spirits of the champions no longer control the divine beasts.

Since hyrule is surrounded by a deep canyon and vast desert. the most likely point of entry for these invaders is the coasts A sea invasion undoubtedly.

The Hypothetical invaders can be categorized as two types:

- A medieval society on par with the Kingdom of Hyrule prior to the calamity

- An industrial society that spawn from another country's "arms race" with hyrule, which as an attempt to create machines either to imitate the Hylian guardians and divine beasts or to actively compete against them.

Regardless of how advanced the enemy may be another factor to consider is wether or not the enemy sent spies or reconnaissance scouts to gather data on the land

So how would hyrule be able to fend off the invaders in such a divided and ruined state?

It really didnt feel like Hyrule was divided during or after BotW, Rito, Goron, Zora and Gerudo all helped Link to save the land. I imagined they'd band together again to stop an invasion.

But how i'd do it is...

Get all the Gorons together, put them into catapults and launch them at the ships.

EDIT;

Get the Divine Beast to do the big laser thing again.

In other words have Riju, Yoonobo, Teba and Sidon pilot the beasts cuz their champion's spirits have moved on already.

Yes- because Link.
Yes- because Link, and the Divine Beasts
Yes- because Link, the Beasts, and Zelda.

So, yes.

And okay, let's say that for some reason the Shiekah tech no longer works (even though it's shown to post-game).

If the three Dragons defend Hyrule.... yeah. Also it's worth pointing out that even though the various towns, villages and settlements are divided geographically, they are not in any sort of conflict. There is no reason to suspect they would not readily band together to fight a foreign invasion. If you look at world history, the single largest crippling factor for a nation is political infighting. However, Zelda is a strong and charismatic leader who banished Ganon from the world, and the four new Champions all view her favorably and are in turn viewed favorably by their respective people, so there is every reason to think they would be capable of leading their peoples under one banner with high morale.

Lastly, if any of Ganon's monsters still exist in the world, it should be noted that they attack indiscriminately. They would be just as much a problem for a foreign host as any native forces, but the natives have much better knowledge of their habits, capabilities, and whereabouts. So they would likely be an asset to any field commander with reasonable capability.

And then it turns out the invaders rely on modern warfare (WW1 warfare)
