Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

Denmark talked a lot of nonsense at the meeting, saying that Schleswig has been canonized by Denmark since the 1460th century. Since Denmark and the Principality of Schleswig became co-owners in [-], the king of Schleswig has always been The King of Denmark, and even King Henry VI of England, recognized the inheritance rights of Denmark and Schleswig to the King of Denmark.

The next step is to lay out historical materials. All kinds of evidence are thrown on the table of the meeting. The general meaning is that Schleswig has been a sacred and inalienable part of Denmark since ancient times. You are violating our country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Anyway, it makes sense. If Denmark was still the Nordic empire it once was, Prussia and Austria would have withdrawn their troops long ago. It is obvious that the Danish Prime Minister has not yet understood the situation.

Is it because of inheritance issues and legal basis that people are fighting with you to seize your territory? How is it possible? I just look at you, so I found a reason to beat you up. Well, since you want Schleswig, you have to show enough strength to scare other countries, otherwise what you said Just bullshit.

"I believe Britain will uphold justice!" The Danish Prime Minister will give Lillian hope. If she is willing to mediate this war, she has contacts with the Prussian Regent. As long as she is willing to speak, Prussia will most likely withdraw its troops.

Lilian looked at the Danish Prime Minister indifferently. To be honest, in the British strategy, Denmark was actually a barrier to prevent Germany from expanding northward, but in Lilian's strategy, Denmark was dispensable.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Prime Minister of Denmark, I'm just a foreign minister and I don't have as much power as everyone here. If Prussia and Austria are willing to armistice, then the United Kingdom can act as a mediator. If the German Confederation is not willing, then the war will continue. .”

The Prime Minister of Denmark is stupid, so why are you holding this meeting to manipulate other people's mentality, right? Denmark initially hoped that Britain and France could prevent the war, but it was obvious that the British did not have this will. What about France? As a land power, he couldn't just sit back and watch the German Confederation annex Schleswig and Holstein, right?

The French representative said that I am only a witness and do not have the ability to participate in negotiations. If anything happens, Napoleon III will talk about it.

The Danish Prime Minister feels that he has been treated like a monkey, but do you dare to be angry? If it offends the other two big countries, it will be difficult for Denmark to collect all the corpses.

But in fact, Victoria wants an armistice between the two sides, which is also in the interests of the United Kingdom. However, Lilian feels that the traditional continental balance of power no longer works, and Denmark is honestly the same with or without it. It is the best if it is not, forget it, and it is honest. Said that she planned to allow Britain to participate in the affairs of the European Union, which would eliminate the possibility of being attacked by Prussia.

According to Lilian's strategy, in the end, Prussia can become the leader of the European Union and then lead the whole of Europe, while Britain will work with Prussia to fight against threats from the East and the West, thereby stabilizing the influence and hegemony of Britain and Prussia around the world. .

August is a sensible person, she knows everything that may happen in the future, and Lillian must be prepared for it.

If it is difficult for Britain alone to fight against the rising hegemons in the East and the West, then it would be better to bring in Prussia. What Lilian really wants is not the European balance of power that supports the weak and suppresses the strong, but a powerful combination of sea and land hegemons.

She gave Japan to Prussia in the hope that it could take on the task of blocking the Ming Dynasty and fighting the United States in the Far East. The Prussian navy would also invest in the Pacific Ocean instead of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Her calculations were very loud, and the conditions she gave were very Of course August was very happy, but Lillian still hoped that Prussia could return Prussia Malaya to Britain at first.

But Malaya, which has eaten everything in its mouth, will give it to you as long as it says it. How is it possible? We have laid more than [-] kilometers of railways there, and the infrastructure has been built to level [-], so we will give it back to you if we say it back?

Lillian heard that everyone was dumbfounded. Are you going to colonize or to alleviate poverty? The Indian people shed tears of envy.

August said we might as well make the map bigger. Doesn't it also include the Dutch East Indies of the Netherlands and the Spanish Philippines of Spain? Why don't we create a more beautiful territory later? Lilian gave up.

Several people argued for a long time, but nothing was agreed upon. Tina patted the table and said, "Since there is no way to reach an agreement at the negotiation table, let's resume the war."

Since Denmark is unwilling to accept the armistice agreement and give up its claim to Schleswig, let's continue the war until Denmark completely surrenders.

.......

On the second day after the meeting, the Prussian army immediately launched another attack, and the Danish king began war mobilization again. The previous war had almost destroyed Denmark's standing army, and Denmark's own standing army was only over [-]. Now He was broken in half on the battlefield and could only rely on the street to catch strong men.

Adult men had to go anyway, and it was already a matter of life and death. At this time, members of the Danish National Party organized a demonstration in Copenhagen, saying that this war was fundamentally wrong and that Denmark should not continue this war. A losing war.

Unexpectedly, the government became angry and kicked the Danish National Party out of the parliament, saying that the Danish National Party was a traitor and did not support this Patriotic War that was related to the survival of the nation.

The Danish National Party directly called out the king and scolded him in public, saying that Christian IX was a retard and had no brains to choose to continue the war. Should he wait until Prussia reached Copenhagen before surrendering? If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Isn't it Schleswig and Holstein? Just give it back to them and that's it.

The Danish government also has something to say. Germany only needs Schleswig and Holstein now, but what about the entire Jutland Peninsula in the future? What to do then? Continue to surrender?

The Nationalist Party's answer was, "Unless Britain and France disappear, they will not allow Prussia or Austria to annex Denmark."

The people who were so troubled may have had some fighting spirit, but immediately did not want to fight. It seemed very reasonable. Who else would be willing to fight such a hopeless war except those ultra-nationalists, whose only remaining troops were Some militiamen faced the Prussian and Austrian armies. How could they fight? It's about three o'clock. Let's drink tea first!

Many people fell to the Danish National Party, believing that this kind of war that was destroying the country must be stopped. The Danish National Party organized the Danish Stormtroopers under the leadership of Osterpol, who were responsible for doing their old work and suddenly disappearing. Those parliamentary die-hards.

The Danish government cobbled together another [-] men from other areas and threw them to die on the front line. Most of them had no professional training. They were sent to the front line to fight the Prussian army the day after they were assembled here.

This kind of army is very clumsy. Many people can't understand orders and can't even use guns. The weapons of the Danish Army are also relatively backward. Compared with the Navy, the difference between a shotgun and a cannon is simply the difference.

In just one day, the Prussian army thrust forward [-] kilometers and reached the outskirts of Kolding. The Austrian army was braver and attacked Svendborg. However, this was a fortress, and the Austrian army's disadvantages in poor coordination were immediately exposed. Even though the commander and chief of staff of the Austrian army have so many skills, it is no less difficult to command such a chaotic army than to connect the arms of Venus.

All in all, Austria has been struggling with the Danish Guards here for half a month, but it didn't defeat them. But it doesn't matter, it's not too embarrassing. When others ask, they just say you do what you command. If you can take command, the commander will do it. The position is left to you.
