Denmark of 9 April 1940 ISOT to 1 February 1864.

Really wanted it to be a quick defeat by "Heavenly forces" but history and weather wants otherwise. At least the Austrians will know not to offend Denmark's!

Copenhagen Ministry of War 9PM 10 April 1940/ 2 February 1864
General Prior looked at the map. The Prussians had 1864 paused for several days actually to the 6 February to be able to let 1. Corps cross the Slie Fiord by boat and bridge as the Austrians kept up pressure on the Dannevirke Position to fix the Danish defenders.
Did he dare let the Prussians sit there collecting boats and building rafts?
The weather today had been bad for flying and it would be worse tomorrow.
He needed his Aircraft to harass the Prussians and wear them down but he also needed a force in the back of the Prussian Corps to force it to surrender hence his orders to General Essemann of moving the Jutish Dragoons forward to bar retreat into Hütterne Berge. Didn't want a Corps sitting in the very defensive terrain having to force it out.
The Prussians and Austrians at Schleswig numbered some 35,000 with 64 Guns and another 32 Guns in the Austrian reserve.
The Prussian Guards hadn't made much of themselves at Schleswig.
De Meza had some 38,000 troops and 104 Field Guns at Schleswig but almost 10,000 troops of 1. Division and 16 Fields Guns guarded the Slie Fiord against the Prussians trying to force it.
Of his 43,000 almost half was already in the area with Army Forces South Jutland and Jutland Division moving into area having another 27 Infantry Guns, 36 Light Artillery and 12 Heavy.
Sufficient for settling the matter at Schleswig but the 1. Prussian Corps gnawed at him; 36,000 troops which had started the day with 64 guns but had lost at least 15. The 3. Artillery Battery had been effective and lucky – damned lucky.

The Navy had to get drawn into operations. The Vice-Admiral was slippery as soap when it came to agreeing to Operations but he needed something on the Slie Fiord that was rapidly thawing to keep the Prussians on the south side.
The old Torpedoboats would be fine to block the Slie Fiord even if they be sitting ducks.
He also wanted some Heavy Artillery to be able to bear on the Prussians should they try to break out south at Eckernförde something like Niels Juel.
He wanted the Sjaelland Division to get moving to move its troops to Lolland for the short ferrying to Eckernförde.
He needed to talk to the Minister of Defence though if that still be Alsing-Andersen there would be little effect of it; better try have the ear of the Primeminister.
Prior called the Primeministers Office – the PM was in a meeting.
An hour later the PM was still in a meeting and it was only past midnight that General Prior managed to get through to the PM.

Stauning: ”It has been along day but let me hear it General.”

General Prior: ”Primeminister I need to have more activity from the Navy – right now we have a Prussian Corps of 36,000 sitting south of the Slie Fiord in Svansen (Peninsular south of Slie Fiord) collecting boats for a crossing; we must prevent that and transport Troops from Sjaelland to Slesvig soon to be able to do so. I am not getting the cooperation I need from the Vice-Admiral.”

Stauning: ”You should talk to the Minister of Defence on such matters.”

General Prior: ”Yes, but..”

Stauning: ”Come on General be blunt – You think the Minister of Defence is not taking You seriously.”

General Prior: ”Well, I wouldn't phrase it that way but..”

Stauning: ”General I really think You ought to go through the right channel. By the way You have a new Minister – Alsing-Andersen have left the Ministry of Defence for Public Works – the new Minister of Defence is Christmas Møller. Yes, we had a reorganization of Government this evening making a National Unity Goverment. Think You should call Your new Minister.”

General Prior: ”Oh I see, yes of course – thank You Primeminister.”

General Prior went into the corridor and could see light in the Ministers office. Giving a knock on the door Prior went inside closing the door behind him.

Christmas Møller Minister of Defence: ”Ah there You are General – good to see You. Seems we had some more losses today than expected; tough soldiers the Prussians.”

General Prior: ”Indeed tough soldiers and now we have a full Prussian Corps sitting south of the Slie Fiord collecting boats for the crossing and a battle tomorrow with the Austrian Corps.”

Christmas Møller MoD: ”So we need to neutralize both but can't do so at one time.”

General Prior: ”Exactly. I would require some support from the Navy on the matter – the Slie is a fiord and some of the old Torpedoboats might operate there; maybe some heavier units to intercept a retreat at Eckernförde or bombard the Prussian Corps in situ.”

Christmas Møller MoD: ”I get Your point – we don't have the troops to do everything at once and need to get the most of what we have; right?”

General Prior: ”Right; however the Vice-Admiral have been somewhat not exactly dedicated to the matter..”

Christmas Møller MoD: ”General I understand – I did do Officer training at the Navy years ago and I already understand that some of the Navy Senior Officers are a little shall we say not too satisfied with the tempo of the Navy these days. Captain Evers at the Lillebaelt Barrage have already asked for orders as have Captain Ipsen Commander Coastal Defence and Copenhagen Base, Rear-Admiral Hammerich Chief of Navy Staff and Rear-Admiral Briand de Crevecoeur Commander Coastal Fleet. I can't not listen to these men at this hour. We need to act and to do so decisively. General forward Your requirements to the Chief of Navy Staff who will look into it and give You an answer as to the possible. I think the Rear-Admiral is at his office.”

General Prior: ”Thank You Minister – I'll have the head of the Second Office draw up a Table of Organisation and Equipment and present temporary Commands in Jutland for You. Will be on Your desk tomorrow at 9 AM.”

Christmas Møller MoD: ”Thank You General spares me asking for it. Now if You will excuse me seems I have a War to run.”

Exactly the OTL situation - a month following the Occupation Vice-Admiral Rechnitzer was asked by the four senior officers of the Navy to resign. I felt this would apply to this situation too.
