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

Chapter 130 Fighting 8 out of 6 and being counter-killed?

When news of the collapse of the conference reaches the front line, the German soldiers on the front line are always a little disappointed. They look forward to the war ending soon, while those new recruits who have not been on the battlefield hope that they can go to the front line.

But at this point, they could only continue fighting. The Prussian army planned to continue to attack Aarhus, while Austria advocated fighting eastward, directly to Copenhagen, and capture the Danish king alive.

The dream is of course very beautiful, but there is one problem. The Prussian navy cannot defeat the Danish navy, and Austria does not have a decent navy at all. Unless it asks the British to help, how can the British help the Germans for no reason?

At the end of March, as the front continued to advance, the Danish army was physically and mentally exhausted after months of fierce fighting, but it was still strong. Every time it occupied a city, Prussia would pay many more casualties. Since the beginning of the war, Prussia has died more than three times. Thousands of people, and the Austrian figures are even more terrifying, with almost [-] casualties.

The casualties in Denmark may have exceeded [-], and they were all young adults between the ages of [-] and [-]. Denmark has a small population. This war has paralyzed the country of Denmark, and its logistics are in a mess. There was also great disharmony between the generals and the government.

In the new round of Danish parliamentary elections, the support rate of the Danish National Party, which originally had a support rate of only more than [-]%, soared to [-]%. If a new round of parliamentary elections were to start now, the support rate of the National Party would rise to [-]%. It can become Denmark's ruling party with an overwhelming advantage.

At this time, Prussia also began to hold talks with the Nationalists in Denmark. Prussia would provide the Danish Nationalist Party with the help it might need, and the Nationalist Party would overthrow the king's rule and establish a government with the Nationalist Party as the core. Prussia would not would make things difficult for the newly established democratic Denmark.

The Danish National Party agreed, but they also refused to continue this war that was destroying the nation. They raised the banner "Why die for Schleswig and Holstein?"

It has been recognized by many Danish people. They don't want to fight because this is a war that is impossible to win. There are only more than [-] people living in Copenhagen, and this is already the most populous city in Denmark.

And more than [-] Danish soldiers died on the battlefield. In Copenhagen, Denmark, this is equivalent to the direct loss of [-]% of young adults. What did they get in exchange?

Denmark not only lost Schleswig and Holstein, but also Sönerborg and Kolding. If Aarhus is lost next, the whole country will probably be able to move to the Rhineland.

When the war situation was so unfavorable, the Danish king still shouted to continue fighting and repel the German invaders. This kind of rhetoric immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the Danish people.

The people were fed up with this belligerent and incompetent government, and members of the Nationalist party increased this boredom and said that in order for the country to continue to exist, we should sign an armistice with Germany.

Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck also called on the Danish authorities to give up resistance and accept the peace treaty, which would save Denmark from war.

The Danish Parliament is still hesitant. They are thinking about whether there are other ways to prevent failure. They have only one trump card left in their hands, which is the Danish fleet.

Denmark originally had a powerful fleet, but during the Napoleonic Wars, facing the powerful army of the French Empire, Denmark chose to surrender with courtesy.

This posed a great threat to Britain. Denmark's navy was not weak, on the contrary, it was very strong. It was ranked among the top three in Europe at the time. When Britain saw Denmark surrendering, it immediately sent a fleet to attack the Danish fleet.

This eliminated the possibility of Napoleon getting this fleet.

Half a century later, Denmark's fleet strength has not yet returned to what it once was, but at least it still has no opponents in the Baltic Sea.

Prussia re-planned a naval battle after losing the previous naval battle. The Prussian Naval Staff even declared that this battle would completely crush the Danish navy.

The fleets of both sides fought a decisive battle in the waters south of Heligoland. Denmark used most of its naval warships to fight Prussia in a decisive naval battle.

This battle almost determined Denmark's fate. If it lost this fleet, Denmark would be unable to resist the Prussian navy, and Copenhagen would be attacked at any time.

In the end, Prussia's record shocked all Germans and Danes.

Prussia dispatched all eight warships of its navy this time to fight a decisive battle with Denmark's six warships. Will this fight be successful? No, instead it suffered a disastrous defeat.

The opponent played Nimitz's record, the limit was one for four, and Denmark sank four Prussian battleships at the cost of one battleship being sunk.

This battle immediately silenced everyone. I know you are good at the navy, but I didn’t expect you to be such a good person?

When the information was sent to Congress, Augustus was stationed in Bengbu. She did not expect it. She originally thought that she could fight, but not only did she not fight, the remaining warships were forced to take refuge in British ports.

It is true that he went abroad in disgrace, and the British also settled in Bengbu. Xiaopu, why are you such a bad guy? How about the Royal Fleet help you fight a couple of games.

The British Lord of the Admiralty mocked, "The Prussian navy is definitely the weakest of all the countries with navies."

Lillian also wrote a letter to August helplessly. She was now afraid that it would be terrible if August failed to win Denmark.

August told her not to worry. Although the Prussian navy might be really bad, the Prussian army had not lost yet, so it didn't matter.

But Prussia was not so harmonious in the country. Berlin newspapers criticized the Naval Staff. Are there corrupt officials? Why is the naval construction so rubbish?

Is it financial fraud? Build a lot of junk warships and let our sailors die?

It made people in the Naval Staff feel embarrassed to go out, but to be honest, as the people who formulate combat plans, they are definitely not the ones who get sick first.

They could only explain that it should be a problem with ship operation training, and they should go to the people at the naval training camp.

But to be honest, everyone has a fault. Before the war is over, the country has begun to liquidate Navy personnel.

August was also curious, what was wrong with him? If he could lose with such a huge advantage, could Prussia be better? Check it for me!

As a result, several cubs were found to have committed financial fraud, and August gave them an African travel package without having to come back.

Later, August came out to clarify in person, and finally calmed down the incident.
