The following statement was released to the press by newly appoined Minister-President Otto Von Bismarck.

"In accordance with the ultimatum delivered by the King, Prussian soldiers will begin to move into the duchies demanded by His Majesty. His Majesty is fully aware that his deadline is not yet expired but wishes there be no delay in the transdermal of these duchies.

These soldiers shall enter peacefully, as liberators, but any hostile act from a member of the Danish military or a large Danish militia shall constitute an act of war and shift the Prussian posture to one of war towards Denmark. Obviously, any Danish soldiers encountered after the deadline shall be treated as enemy combatants and provoke a state of war between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Denmark.

It is His Majesty's highest hope that the transition will be peaceful and without bloodshed. Nevertheless, His Majesty shall not shirk from the use of force should the Kingdom of Denmark provoke it."
