On December 23, 1788, under the escort of the British fleet, the second group of Allied soldiers began to cross the sea, and Dessau also crossed the Little Belt Strait with this group of soldiers.
On December 24, 1788, Scharnhorst, the vanguard of the 3rd Division, began to approach Odense on the island of Funen, and the Danish towns encountered along the way were simply overlooked, after all, the Allied forces were placed here, how dare these small towns joke with the Prussians with their own lives.
On December 25, it was Christmas, but there was no festive atmosphere in the city of Odense, and the news of the successful landing of Prussia and the defeat of the Danish navy cast a shadow over the hearts of all Odense people.
Especially when the Danish navy returned, the entire city of Odense was boiling, the original mighty Danish navy has now shrunk by nearly half, and many of these returned warships have suffered great damage, the original more than 40 Danish warships can still have combat effectiveness of less than 17, this result makes many Danes feel related.
The desk of Charles the mayor of Odense was already full of documents, most of which described the news of the nobles in the city of Odense, but Charles had nothing to do about it, nearly 10,000 Prussian troops were about to arrive under the city of Odense, and at this moment Odense only had 3,000 defensive troops.
Again, Charles had repeatedly asked Copenhagen for support, but Copenhagen's reply made Charles' heart cold.
Copenhagen's response was simple.
It's impossible to get reinforcements, and it's in situations like this.
Charles must hold Odense or he will be punished severely.
Seeing this reply, Charles wanted to tear this reply apart, and then Kaesong surrendered and pulled it down.
But Charles thought about it again, even if he could surrender to save his life, but his family was in Copenhagen, if he surrendered.
God knows what that Frederick VI will do with his family.
Thinking of this, Charles regretted his family's decision to relocate to Copenhagen, and Charles's family had always lived on the island of Funen, but it was not a prominent family until Charles took the trouble to become the defense officer of Odense.
As one of Denmark's transportation hubs and naval garrisons, Odense's prosperity naturally goes without saying, and as the mayor of Odense.
Charles is in charge of logistics and policing, as well as tax rights.
Although it seems that Charles is only a mayor, his mayor is no worse than the important members of the Danish cabinet, after all, such a powerful and advantageous position is one of the few in Denmark.
Charles only stayed in this position for two years and accumulated a lot of wealth, when Charles thought that he was now a well-known figure, it was better to move his family to Copenhagen for greater development, so Charles took advantage of his position to move the family to Copenhagen smoothly.
He also bought a manor outside Copenhagen.
But now Charles regrets it, really regrets it, he knew that there would be today's situation, it is better to live in Odense honestly, so that he will not face this dilemma.
Just when Charles was upset about what he had done.
Some of the nobles in Odense were secretly deliberating, and some of them even had garrison officers and naval officers.
"Everyone.
I think everyone knows the situation in Odense at the moment, and we in Denmark are caught between the Prussians and the Swedes.
As far as I know, in the eastern part of Norway, Denmark has lost half of Norway, and everyone must know the situation in Jutland, so I don't think I need to say more, everyone is talking about what we should do. ” Speaking is the great nobleman of the city of Odense Neyol, this Neyol is not a simple person, his industry is all over Denmark, and in Odense, some money-making industries such as shipping, brothels, taverns, gambling houses, etc. are monopolized by Neyol, not only that, but he also has a close relationship with King Christian VII of Denmark, according to genealogy, the regent of Denmark - Crown Prince Frederick VI also needs to call this Neyol uncle.
It was obviously not a trivial matter for such a big man to call together some of the top nobles in the city of Odense.
After Neil's words, the people in the room were silent, although they didn't know what the great nobleman meant, but before finding out the direction of the wind, most of them chose to remain silent.
"Ahem" Neyol coughed in a low voice, then threw his eyes at a person on the side, and when he met Neyol's eyes, Akanda, the commander of the garrison in Odense City, smiled bitterly, and then stood up helplessly and said to everyone in the room: "His Excellency Neyol's attitude of worrying about the country and the people is really admirable, although he is full of confidence in the defense of the city of Odense, but he has to admit that the Kingdom of Denmark has indeed reached a very dangerous situation at present, and now the Prussian army is about to arrive in Odense, to be honest, maybe the soldiers of the Kingdom of Denmark are all brave and good at fighting to be able to defeat three enemies, but the advantage of Prussian forces is there, this is the most helpless place" Okay, the captain of Akanda was first full of confidence in the defense of Odense City, and finally said that people were helpless, can this be held or not?
But the meaning of Arkanda's words is already very clear, that is, he is very optimistic about Odense's prospects.
After listening to Akander's statement, everyone in the room suddenly had some discussions, and the faces of some nobles showed deep worry, I am afraid that people who are not familiar with them really think that they are worried about the country and the people, but who can sit in this room does not know the roots.
"Commander Akanda is right, although I don't know why Jutland was captured by the Prussians, but in Jutland, we have more than 20,000 troops, and even more than 20,000 troops can't resist the Prussian attack, not to mention that we only have 3,000 troops in Odense!"
After Akander finished speaking, another man stood up and said loudly, and his words were so simple that everyone in the room had already heard the meaning, and these words were too negative.
But what this man said is also true, even the more than 20,000 troops on Jutland have failed, can you expect the 3,000 troops in the city of Odense to hold the city?
"Yes, yes!"
"It is" "What can I do?"
..........................
The room was in an instant chaos, and some people with ulterior motives were bewitching others and bewitching others at the same time to degrade Odense's garrison to an extremely unreliable level, and in such a noisy environment, a scream suddenly came out "Your Excellency Neyol, you are the younger brother of the King of Denmark, and you are also the leading figure in Odense, so it's up to you to make up your mind, and we'll do whatever you say!"
As soon as this sentence landed, everyone in the room turned their eyes to Nell's body, obviously the sentence just now had made everyone have to guess Neyol's purpose of gathering everyone again.
From the beginning of Neyol's speech, it seems that there are pessimistic capitulationist voices around him, and unconsciously leads people to the direction that Odense can't hold on to it, and in the end, it seems that if Neyol does not express his opinion, the whole Odense will not survive, which has to make people suspect that this is a game set up by Neyol.
Of course, this is exactly the case, watching everyone look at him in unison, and a feeling of selflessness suddenly surged in Neyol's heart, just like the previous Akanda and the next few people, they were all arranged by Neyol.
The reason for this was that Neyol had already made some contact with the Prussians.
"Everyone says so, it's too much love, although there is a slight name in the next, but your praise is too much, and it is well deserved!"
"Your Excellency Neyol, you don't need to be modest, you are a well-known figure in Odense, please come up with an idea for you!"
Hearing this, Neyol cast a satisfied glance at the figure sitting on his left with great satisfaction, and the figure seemed to feel Neyol's satisfaction, and the fat body sitting in the chair trembled with excitement.
"Since everyone is saying that, as a member of the beautiful city of Odense, let me tell you my own opinions.
Everyone understands the current situation, and the defense of the city will definitely not be able to hold it, after all, the huge advantage of the Prussians is there, and we could still put our hope on the navy, but because of the participation of the British, the navy can no longer be counted on" Hearing Nell say this, the faces of several of the naval officers present flushed "In this case, in order to protect the beautiful city of Odense from the scourge of war, and for all of you to protect your family and property, I have tried to find another way for everyone to survive.

A few days ago, I had made great efforts to get in touch with the commander of the Prussian army, and the Prussians had promised me that as long as we Odense could be peacefully transferred into the hands of the Prussians, Prussia would not endanger our respective families and estates.
I think you should know what I mean."
As he spoke, Neyol closed his mouth and began to scan the room PS: Khan, I was wrong, I said last time that the collection went up, but it fell again the next day, how can you make it embarrassing
