After the shot rang out, Charles threw the gun aside, then took a towel from the servant's hand and wiped it, and then said: "O Akanda, come out, I've seen you" After Akanda, who was hiding behind the crowd and was about to sneak away, heard Charles's voice, he had to push away the crowd in front of him and said: "Your Excellency the Mayor, I wonder what you command?"
Charles looked at Arkanda carefully with a meaningful expression, under his gaze, Arkanda only felt as if he was being targeted by something dangerous, but he could see Charles's ruthlessness just now.
"Akanda, you don't have to be so nervous" As he spoke, Charles's face suddenly became sad again "Today is the most unfortunate day for us in Odense, when our venerable Lord Neyol was assassinated by the inveterate Steinfier.
As a close friend of Neyol, I am deeply saddened and sympathetic to what happened to Neyol, Akanda, I now order you to immediately take people to the port of Odense and seize all those naval warships, I suspect that there are still Stanfi's comrades in the navy!
” As he spoke, Charles added "Arkanda, I've always been bullish, I think you should know how to do it" "Yes, Your Excellency Mayor, I will complete the task successfully!"
Arkanda immediately straightened up and saluted Charles, then walked briskly out of the room.
On December 28, the Prussian army arrived under the city of Odense.
And when the Prussian army arrived, nearly 100 officials and nobles in Odense City lined up at the gate of Odense City under the mayor Charles to welcome the arrival of the Prussian army.
December 30th.
Field Marshal Dessau led the coalition forces to Odense, and because of the surrender of Charles, Odense was able to stay away from the fighting, and it was accompanied by nearly twenty warships of various types in the port of Odense.
Dessau, accompanied by Charles, came to the port of Odense with great interest, and when he saw the warships moored in the harbor, he had a knowing smile on his face.
The Prussian Navy could at least develop by leaps and bounds.
"Charles, you have done a good job, Odense and these ships are your best gift to the kingdom, I have reported your merits to Brandenburg truthfully, and I am sure that soon, your appointment papers will be issued" "Thank you Marshal for your cultivation, and I will do my best for the great cause of the Kingdom of Prussia!"
Hearing that the conditions promised to yourself have entered the procedure.
Charles is obviously very happy, but Dessau naturally knows the truth that you have to beat a stick for a sweet date, otherwise it is easy to make people arrogant.
"However, because of the peculiarities of Odense, the kingdom is prepared to station two regiments of troops in Odense, and these warships" said Dessau, gesturing to the naval warships moored in the harbor "It will be handed over to our navy.
And His Majesty the King wants Odense to be the home port of the Prussian Navy, so the port of Odense will be separated from Odense and set up a separate administration, I hope you will understand this."
Charles was not surprised to hear that Prussia was going to garrison Odense.
After all, Odense's geographical location is indeed more important, so Prussia's arrangement of troops must not have surprised Charles.
But when Charles heard that Dessau was interested in stripping the port of Odense from his rule.
His teeth ached a little, you must know that in his annual gray income, the port of Odense has contributed eighty percent, once the port of Odense is stripped out, it means that Charles will lose eighty percent of his annual income.
"This, Your Excellency Marshal, is not deliberately opposed, but the port of Odense is too important to Odense, and the port is also very close to the city, so I think that in order to better govern Odense, it is better not to strip the port of Odense."
"Charles, the stripping of the port of Odense is imperative, and the commander of the navy has asked me many times, and has also obtained the consent of His Majesty the King, and this cannot be changed."
As he spoke, the solemn expression on Dessau's face became harmonious "Charles, you are about to become the governor of Funen, you must know that there is more than one Odense port in Funen, you must see farther, do you understand?"
The port of Odense has several times more oil and water than the rest of the island of Funen combined!
However, this sentence can only be buried in Charles's heart, although he is a little reluctant to give up the fat of Odense Port, but since Dessau has said this, Charles has to whisper: "Your Excellency is at the mercy of the Marshal" "Hmm" Seeing Charles so knowledgeable, Dessau nodded in satisfaction, and then boarded the former flagship of the Danish Navy, the Rizchener, surrounded by a group of attachés. ...........................
In the Danish palace in Copenhagen, Frederick VI sat on a throne, his eyes fixed on the pillars of the palace, not knowing what to think.
At his feet was a war report, which not only reported the defeat of the Danish navy but also stated that Odense had surrendered to the Prussians under the betrayal of the mayor Charles, and that the Danish naval warships temporarily anchored in the port of Odense had become Prussia's possession.
The capture of all the remaining ships of the Danish navy meant that Denmark no longer had a single warship, and now that the whole of Funen had fallen into the hands of the Prussians, it is not difficult to believe that the next target of the Prussians must be the island of Zealand and even Copenhagen.
In the face of this situation, Denmark, which has lost its navy, can only be passively beaten, and the situation has reached an extremely bad point.
"Your Highness, now that the Prussians have occupied Odense, and they have captured the navy's warships, their next target must be Copenhagen, for the sake of Denmark, please lead the government to retreat to Norway!"
It was Danish Interior Minister Chandgol who spoke, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Denmark had lost the ability to resist, and if Copenhagen was tenacious, although it could hold out for a while, it would not be in the interests of the Danish aristocracy.
"This, this, this ....."
Hearing Chandegor say this, Frederick VI hesitated, he also knew that Copenhagen might not be able to hold it, and now that the island of Zealand had been exposed to the Prussian army, although Copenhagen had urgently mobilized thousands of young and middle-aged remnants of the army, but the militia who had never touched this kind of gun really could not have too much expectation.
Seeing the hesitant look on Frederick VI's face, the following Danish officials shouted: "Please lead the government and the royal family to retreat first, and not put the royal family in danger......."
"Now that the Prussians are approaching, in order to preserve their strength, I also ask Your Highness to retreat first for the sake of the kingdom......" ........................
In the blink of an eye, Frederick VI's ears were full of voices begging him to retreat, and Frederick VI, who had no master, looked at the Danish ministers in front of him in a panic.
Finally, Frederick VI gritted his teeth and said: "Since you think so much about the kingdom, and in order for the Kingdom of Denmark to continue to resist the invasion of the Prussians, I have decided to lead the royal family and government officials to retreat first, and leave the defense of Denmark to ....
To....
Well....
Brand bar" After saying that, Frederick VI hurried out of the palace, and as soon as he saw Frederick VI leave, the Danish officials in the palace scattered.
In the end, there was only one middle-aged man in military uniform with a hideous face left in the palace, and this person was Brand.
Although Brand is the commander of the city defense of Copenhagen, it does not mean that he is willing to stay and die, at present, Prussia is strong, with the strength of Denmark can no longer effectively resist, even if there are more than 10,000 troops in Copenhagen, but for the future, Brand is not hopeful.
Brand frowned and walked back and forth in the palace, but no one in the palace went up to drive him away, and at this time, no one wanted to talk to Brand, the unlucky man.
Soon after the meeting, the entire Danish royal palace began to be busy, and the attendants, including the royal guards, began to move like ants in the palace under the command of Frederick VI, moving the wealth accumulated by the Danish royal family over the centuries to the carriages.

And that night, Frederick VI quietly boarded several merchant ships in the port of Copenhagen with his mentally ill father, Christian VII, and a group of members of the Danish royal family.
Unaware that this was the fugitive Christian VII, who was smiling and at the mercy of his attendants along the way, perhaps in his limited intelligence, he might have thought that this was a long outing.
This time Frederick VI left in a hurry, he only fled with some of the most valuable and easy to carry first, as for the remaining wealth in the palace, Frederick VI specially left his royal butler to supervise the movement of property.
On January 3, 1789, Dessau, after arranging the port of Odense, personally led the Prussian 3rd Division and the combined forces of Schleswig and Holstein across the sea to Copenhagen.
Because the Danish Navy can be said to be the main force of the loss, so the goal of Dessau this time is very clear, that is, to attack Copenhagen directly, and Dessau has already made contact with the second division of Mecklenburg, if necessary, then the second division will also depart from Mecklenburg and cross the sea to Copenhagen.
This time Dessau did not ask for help from the British fleet, because the Danish navy had already been captured by the Prussians, so the balance had been broken, which meant that Prussia had a large number of more ships, and Denmark would have no ships.
At the sight of Prussian-flagged warships cruising near the flotilla, Dessau's face was full of satisfaction.
