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

Chapter 132 The Destruction of Danish Democracy

In order to win British assistance, Auguste personally came to London to discuss matters related to the Prussian War. Her arrival surprised the British Foreign Secretary.

At Buckingham Palace, August and Victoria held a less formal state meeting, and Victoria warmly entertained August. In Victoria's eyes, the supreme ruler of Prussia in front of her was just a little girl. In fact, it is similar to Lillian.

Victoria first took August to various places in London to show off her wealth and demonstrate the power of the British Empire. Then she got to the point when visiting the museum, "Sister August, do you want the British Empire to show off their wealth?" Help you win this war?"

In front of them are the British battleships that defeated the Spanish Armada a hundred years ago. Nowadays, these battleships are old and can no longer be used, but it is precisely because of these battleships that Britain can become the overlord of the world.

"Well, the Prussian navy cannot defeat the Danish fleet. If possible, I hope the British Royal Navy can help a little, just destroy the Danish warships."

"As long as the Danish fleet is destroyed...can't Prussia's navy defeat Denmark?"

"Our navy has just been established and is at a tactical disadvantage. It is no match for Denmark. If Britain can help, Prussia will remember Britain's help."

Victoria smiled lightly, "Then has Prussia ever thought about developing a powerful fleet that can win in naval battles?"

"We're already growing, aren't we?"

Victoria looked back and confirmed that there were no other British MPs nearby. "August, you are my sister. I don't want to be your enemy. Prussia should not have a navy. Only Prussia without a navy can become Allies of Britain, I hope you will not make the same mistake as Napoleon."

Victoria can be regarded as being extremely benevolent in saying this, but with the relationship between August and Victoria, as long as Victoria is still in the position of queen, if one day August really kills herself, she can still make money. First hand.

"I don't plan to spend too much energy on the navy, and I don't want colonies in Africa. Prussia will not violate the naval treaty."

"Is that so? Well, Lillian's correspondence with you is becoming more and more frequent, right? She has recently established a new political party, which is getting bigger and bigger. You should have heard of it, right?" Victoria asked.

August: "Well, the Social Democratic Party, right? It's also been talked about in the news."

Victoria: "I asked Lilian about her real thoughts. To be honest, her thoughts are a bit scary. If she can really take power, it may have a great impact on the UK. Her ideology is different from traditional British democracy. It’s not like socialism or communism, but it’s a bit scary anyway.”

August: "Really? I quite support her, but due to the war, I rarely receive letters from her anymore. How has her party developed?"

Victoria: "Not long ago, the Social Democratic Party merged with another party called the Workers' Party. The number of party members exceeded [-] in an instant, making it the second largest party. Maybe it will soon be able to compete with the Conservative Party. .”

August smiled and said, "That's pretty good."

Victoria informed Parliament the next day that she would fulfill the terms of the Anglo-Prussian Treaty of Mutual Assistance and join the war against Denmark.

Of course, this was just a random excuse for Britain. It was the German Confederation that declared war on Denmark first. Britain had no reason to intervene in the war, but it didn't matter how the terms were interpreted.

Napoleon III next door looked worried. What's wrong with this British guy? He came to mess with my mentality again. He must also want to grab Iceland and Greenland. My big France also followed.

France announced that it would intervene in the war at Prussia's request.

Napoleon III, who was idle, even gave up the war against Mexico and came here to give Prussia a few 666s.

When Denmark heard this, he was so worried. What's wrong with the British and French couple who have been together for a century? They formed a group to beat themselves up again, this is so disgusting and speechless.

The Kingdom of Denmark was greatly shocked. Originally, Denmark could fight with the Prussian-Austrian coalition with its naval fleet. Now the two strongest naval powers in the world are knocking on its door. I am anxious.

What should I do? The Danish Parliament suddenly lost even its final confidence.

At this time, a mass riot suddenly broke out in Copenhagen. The Danish National Party showed off its cards. Sayazi quit. How can we manage Denmark well with these mentally retarded MPs!

The National Party called on the people to attack the National Assembly. The National Party's momentum reached an unprecedented peak, and their support rate reached more than [-]%.

Tens of thousands of angry people rushed into the parliament hall. The participation of Britain and France in the war became the straw that broke the camel's back. The Danish people had no fighting spirit and they just wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

The King's Guards and the Nationalists started fighting in the streets. Prussia and the Danish Nationalists reached a consensus, and the frontline command completely collapsed due to the chaos in the rear.

The British sent twenty warships, and their destination was Copenhagen. Where did the Danish fleet dare to come out, they were all parked in their own ports. After all, the British fleet was no better than Prussia, they were really stronger.

British warships even sailed into the Baltic Sea, bombarding Copenhagen with a burst of shelling, and sent a few shells to the Danes, just like New Year.

At this time, Denmark was in a state of domestic chaos. The previous instigation activities against Denmark were effective. Denmark's border wall defenses completely collapsed. Prussia captured Nyborg, and there was only one strait left from Copenhagen.

The fighting spirit of the Danish frontline soldiers also dissipated on the battlefield along with bursts of roars.

The anti-war sentiment in Denmark was extremely fierce. The stormtroopers formed by the Danish National Party raised their arms and even directly captured Copenhagen and eliminated the king's guard regiment.

The first thing the Danish Nationalists did after the collapse of the army was to clean up their political opponents. They imprisoned a large number of Liberals and Democrats, and even assassinated the former Prime Minister and Minister of Defense.

A large number of government officials were liquidated, and those who had supported the war were also criticized. Many people were regarded as traitors and imprisoned. In just one week, the National Party arrested more than [-] politicians, and the Danish king had to escape. Out of Copenhagen.

He ran to Gribscow for refuge, but within two days he was caught by the National Party and sent back to Copenhagen.

In mid-April, the Danish National Party announced the dissolution of parliament, and Osterpol became the new Danish Prime Minister and reorganized the cabinet.

He declared, "Thanks to the multi-party system, our country and nation have been invaded by other countries. It is dying. Democracy is fundamentally wrong. It has corrupted the blood of the Scandinavians. We What we need to do is not to be an enemy of any big country, but to allow our three million citizens to live happily and peacefully on the European continent!"

Denmark's nascent democracy was overthrown, and a one-party totalitarian government emerged on Denmark's political scene.
