A few days later, after Bismarck's agitation and urging, Austria and Prussia came to an agreement.

The Austrian army, together with the Prussian army, continued to attack the Danes, unless the Danish government promised the full independence of the two principalities.

Of course, the Danes could not agree, and the loss of Schleswig would also mean the loss of more than 30% of Danish territory, and the nationalists in Denmark would definitely label the cabinet government a traitor.

Compared with surrendering without a fight, the defeat obviously impressed the sympathy of the Danish people more, not because the government did not work hard, but because the Germans were too mean.

The Danish government rejected the terms of the German powers, and the Allied war machine was relaunched.

On 8 March, the Imperial Austrian Army, having received orders from home, took the lead in waging war and won the Battle of Weyler.

On March 15, the Danish Navy announced a blockade of the Prussian coast, and the navy entered the war, and the newly formed Prussian Navy responded to the battle.

The two naval fleets exchanged fire in the waters of Yasmund, when the Prussian navy had not been established long ago, but Denmark was a traditional naval power in the Nordic region, and the results of the battle between the two sides were self-evident, and the Danish navy won a tactical victory in the Battle of Yasmund.

The weak Prussian navy was no match for the Danish navy, which firmly held sea supremacy, but the Prussian navy retained its vital strength and was not completely annihilated.

On the same day, the Prussian Army also launched an offensive against the Danish army's new position in Dibor, and Prussia first mobilized artillery to bombard Dibor's position on a large scale, and then the army attacked under the cover of artillery fire.

In the face of the murderous Prussian army, the new Danish commander naturally did not dare to repeat the mistakes of General Mesa, and this time did not choose to withdraw from the battlefield, and the Danes relied on tenacious perseverance to repel the Prussian tentative attacks many times in one day.

However, this exchange of fire was only a prelude, and the Prussian army's big move was still accumulating.

A month later, on 18 April, the Battle of Dibor broke out, and after dozens of hours of artillery preparation, Prussia launched a general attack, with hundreds of guns simultaneously attacking Dibor's position, and attacking Dibor under the fire of the guns of the Hrolf anchored near the Danish coastline.

As the Danish flagship, the Hrolf was obviously unable to stop the Prussian land attack, and could only delay the advance of the Prussian army.

Under the blow of artillery covering, the Danes could only retreat into the fortifications, and the Prussians, seizing the opportunity and relying on the superiority of manpower, advanced towards Dibor.

Gradually, the vanguard of the charge touched the edge of Dibor's position.

The Dibor position was already dying under the heavy artillery fire of the coalition forces, and many of the makeshift fortifications were in ruins under the fire.

The Prussian army, which had touched Dibor's position, with the help of these ruins, managed to break into the interior of the Danish front.

Seeing that the tide was turning, the Danish commander-in-chief had no choice but to order his troops to abandon Dibor, leaving only the 8th Brigade of the Danish Army behind.

The 8th Brigade of the Danish Army resisted very stubbornly to cover the retreat of the main Danish force.

However, the losses were heavy, and the 8th Brigade of the Danish Army was almost crippled by the Prussian army, losing more than a third of the losses, but it brilliantly completed the task of covering the retreat of the main Danish army.

After the defeat at the Battle of Dibor, the Danish army was limited by its strength and had to abandon the operation to seize the area of Fredericia, which had already been occupied by the Austrian army.

As a result of a series of battles fought by the coalition forces, the Danes lost nearly half of their territory on Jutland, including Schleswig. The Danes' hopes for victory, even the flames had been extinguished by the allied forces.

At the same time, the successive defeats of the Danes led the British government to decide to intervene, and maintaining the balance of the continent was the bottom line of the British, and the British could not make great changes in the countries of the European continent.

Prior to this, the British government had issued a stern warning to Prussia, which verbally promised a temporary truce on April 12.

But Bismarck postponed this plan until April 25, during which time Prussia was in control of the whole territory of Dibor.

The British government, supported by Russia, France, and Sweden, proposed to intervene in the Jutland War, stating that the entire Schleswig question should be left to the European countries.

Austria and Prussia, which had already reached a consensus in secret, said that they would agree to the resolution as long as the 1852 agreement was not the basis for the resolution, and the principality and Denmark were only in personal relations.

The meeting was held in London on 25 April and was presided over by the British delegate, Viscount Palmston.

Britain accused Prussia and Austria of their acts of war, threatening peace in Europe.

But the representative of the German side merely stated that the question was inevitably confused.

At the same time, the Count of Boist, representing the German Confederation, demanded that the countries recognize the sovereignty of Augustenberg over the principality.

Although the Austrian Empire preferred the same scheme as the 1852 agreement, Prussia had already shown its ambition to acquire a principality.

For the Kingdom of Prussia to achieve this ambition, it must first make the Duchy of Schleswig completely independent.

That is why the Prussian deputies insisted on the complete independence of the Schleswig region from Denmark.

This put Austria in a dilemma, if Austria opposed, I am afraid that it will completely lose the influence of the empire in Germany, and if it does not object, I am afraid that Prussia's power will rise.

After weighing the pros and cons, Austria felt that the influence of the German region was more important, and it was also the desire of the Austrian Empire to unify the entire German region.

He reluctantly supported Prussia's idea of complete political independence for the Duchy of Schleswig, but it should be bound by a common body, and the next step was not yet considered.

In order to stabilize the British, French and Russian empires, the representatives of the Kingdom of Prussia stated that Prussia would not seek lands other than the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein.

This satisfies the demands of other powers that the Danish Strait, which controls access to the Baltic Sea, not be controlled by other powers.

The representative of Sweden did not comment that Denmark had historically been Sweden's rival and that Sweden would be happy to see Prussia and Austria weaken Denmark in a way.

Provided, of course, that the German coalition did not swallow all of Jutland, then Sweden would face a more serious strategic geopolitical danger than Denmark.

It is clear that neither Prussia nor Austria took into account the feelings of the Danes, and countries such as Britain also tacitly agreed to Prussia's conditions, and the Danish government rejected the proposal.

The London Conference did not fundamentally solve the Jutland issue, but it postponed the offensive of the two countries.

With the help of the time of the conference, the Danes completed the final mobilization, and most of the attempts of the Danish army on Jutland had already failed.

The troops moved to the island of Ars to continue the resistance, and in June, the Prussian army began to assemble opposite the island of Ars. The Second Schleswig War was about to enter a new period.
