Chapter 358： Second Putan War (1/2)
The Prussian government suddenly declared war on the Kingdom of Denmark, the most aggressive of which was King Christian IX of Denmark. He had no idea what was going on, and the war broke out.
Christian IX only succeeded in 1863. Shortly after he succeeded, he revised the constitution to incorporate the two principalities of Schleswig-Holstein into the Kingdom of Denmark, which was the cause of the second Putian war in history.
At this time, Christian IX did the same. Naturally, the anger of the people in the German region was stimulated, and the three countries in the German region issued warnings.
It was only because the Paris Conference provided them with legal support, and these sites did not border Austria. The Vienna government shouted a few words.
Without Austria, the Kingdom of Denmark successfully merged the two principalities with the support of the Russians.
It turns out that this cheap is not easy to account for. The Prussians had tolerated it at the time, and in fact were doing a lot of tricks. It wasn't until the Russians were at their wit's end that they started doing things to them.
The war was announced on the afternoon of October 24th. The Berlin government mobilized nationwide on October 25th. On October 27th the Prussian army crossed the border and entered Denmark.
On the surface, this is in full compliance with international law. The military mobilization the day after the declaration of war is more like a sudden decision.
However, not every country is Prussian and has so many troops. The Kingdom of Denmark does not have barbarians, and their standing army is only tens of thousands.
The Russians are usually covered, and these troops are enough. Even if the war broke out, the Prussians casually pulled tens of thousands of troops, and they were too tired to cope.
Christian IX inquired: ”Why did Prussia start the war without any warning in advance? How long has the last Pudan war passed, did your vigilance be eaten by dogs so soon?
No one answered this paradoxical question. Without warning, who knows that Prussians will suddenly start?
This is a conceptual problem. The emergence of railways has greatly speeded up the movement of troops. Two days have been enough for Prussians to gather tens of thousands of troops. This is enough.
Prime Minister Rashir persuaded: ”Your Majesty, things have happened, and we will immediately mobilize nationwide to resist the Prussian attack.
At the same time, the ambassadors to European countries are ordered to conduct diplomatic good offices, especially the support of the Russians. ”
Christian IX nodded. Regardless of the government's responsibility, now is not the time to hold the responsibility. The most important thing during the war is stability.
...
The government is aggressive, and the Danish people are even more confused. Why did they fight?
The normal mode of operation is that the two countries first pull the skin and fight in the newspaper for months or longer. After the negotiations failed, the main faction slowly prevailed, and then sought an excuse to declare war.
This time it was abnormal. The Prussian government found an excuse to declare war, and did not make any diplomatic efforts at all.
The Danish capital, Copenhagen, is boiling, and countless Danes feel their dignity provoked. You must know that the Danish ancestors have also been wide, how can they be provoked by the Prussian barbarians?
In the bakery, several customers whispered each other, and Laks, who was the boss, could even hear their conversation.
”Roberta, the king has issued a mobilization order. I'm going to stab the Prussian barbarians. Would you like to go with me?”
Roberta confidently replied, ”Colfergen, have you got water in your head? Are the Prussian Barbarians so good at dealing with us, because we are not their opponents at all!
Now you are still being honest and waiting for European countries to intervene. Don't forget our geographical location, the gateway to the Baltic Sea, the Russians certainly cannot tolerate the occupation of Prussian barbarians. ”
Colfergen said dissatisfied, ”Did you not brave yourself in the past, why have you become a counselor now? How can the brave Danes be afraid of a bunch of barbarians?”
Roberta sneered and said, ”Don't be stupid, everyone is aware of the military strength of the Kingdom of Prussia.
In the last Pudan war, our troops were bewildered and turned by the Prussians. Do you know that more than 30,000 people have been sacrificed and they have finally lost the war.
The Prussians were not driven by us at all. They were scared away by the threat of the Russians. If we rely on our own power, the Jutland Peninsula will have to change hosts.
The Kingdom of Denmark has fallen, and now we are just a small country that lives under the wings of a large country. Such a war is not suitable for us. ”
...
The two went further and further, and the sound gradually disappeared from Lax's ear. It wasn't the first time he heard such a conversation. The aged Laks sighed. Denmark is no longer Denmark.
Even in the failed Putin war more than a decade ago, the courage shown by the Danes was not comparable now, and Laks participated in the war in person.
Even with heavy losses and repeated defeats, they are still fighting. A large number of youths took the initiative to join the army and fought bitterly with the Prussians.
Under the attack of the Prussians, they supported for more than a year without giving in. Until now, the younger generation has pinned their hopes on the intervention of the powers.
