Just as Constantine XI was thinking about his next battle strategy, he suddenly heard a noise outside the tent door. The noise was so loud that he immediately opened the curtain of the tent and scolded loudly: "...... What's going on?! weishenme is so noisy?! ”

Then he noticed that everyone around him was in a circle, pointing and pointing at a stretcher in the open space in the middle, and then squinting closely, he could see a sick man wearing only a shirt lying on the stretcher. I saw that his eyes were red, his hair was scattered, and from time to time he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm with blood, and his face was also swollen, as if it would burst at any time, and his appearance was even more terrifying than that of a demon.

Seeing this, Emperor Constantine XI couldn't help frowning, then took out a silk handkerchief and pinched his nose, leaned over to take a closer look, and found that this sick man looked familiar, and seemed to be a new Italian mercenary leader under his command.

“…… This guy seems to be from Genoa...... When did you catch the plague?! The Emperor blinked in some surprise, then immediately turned around and shouted, "...... What are you still doing? Bring the holy water, the holy oil, and the holy bread and save the life of this unfortunate man! ”

“…… Report bixia, we have already used these methods, but none of them have taken effect! A black-clad priest bowed to the emperor and reported with a bitter face, "...... Now, apart from the prayers of Emperor Xiangshang, we have no other countermeasures, may the Lord bless! Amen! ”

In response, Constantine XI had no choice but to silently make a cross, and then watch as the hapless mercenary leader was carried away—presumably after a while. That guy's skin will turn a horrible black and purple, and then die a miserable death in despair.

Of course, the priests and doctors who treated this guy. They would never think that they should be held responsible for any medical treatment - in medieval Europe, God was the supreme authority, regulating the relationship between man and God and man and man. God is the all-powerful and omniscient supreme ruler, while mortals are born with "original sin" and the only purpose of living is to worship God and prepare for the "Last Judgment" to ascend to heaven. Therefore, the sick man survived because God blessed him and the angels blessed him, but if he did not survive, he was in great sin and called by the Lord...... If not, with the backward medical jishu of this year. There is also a very high mortality rate of patients, and I am afraid that any doctor will have to lose his family and be in prison.

On the other hand, based on practical experience during this time. Constantine XI was somewhat dismayed to discover that modern medicines, such as antibiotics and aspirin, were not a panacea for their efficacy in this era.

Not to mention the blind, deaf, lame, and epileptic patients who came to Constantinople for medical treatment - no amount of antibiotics could treat the disabled - even wound infections and common epidemics. Although most patients are eventually cured. But there are also a small number of patients who still can't survive the use of modern medicines, and eventually die in despair at the sound of prayers to God.

In addition, for malaria patients, the use of quinine and cinchona cream is not a cure-and-answer solution, and there are always times when it does not work.

Only God knows what exactly is going on, and the travelers have different opinions about it - some think that the patient's condition has dragged on for too long. The body is too weak to withstand the power of the medicine; Some people think that there is no right medicine. Because all kinds of antibiotics also have a scope of application, no one antibiotic is a real panacea. There may also be an antibiotic allergy.

However, whatever the reason, there is no suitable solution at the moment - the traversers do not have the ability to make guest appearances as old military doctors (you can't always move the ultrasound machine out, be careful of being mistaken for a wizard), nor do they have the energy to do skin tests on all the sick people one by one, and there is really nothing more to do than give free soup porridge to the Hagia Sophia to replenish the nutrition and promote the recovery of the pilgrims seeking medical treatment.

Therefore, the emperor sighed a little about the death of the mercenary leader, but he did not take it too seriously - at this time, Constantine XI did not expect what a terrible disaster this small negligence would bring to him in the future.

At this moment, Emperor Constantine XI was all focused on the war that was about to break out......

According to the information gathered so far, the Turks in Bursa are already discouraged and leaderless due to the fatal blow caused by the plague. The real opponents to watch out for are reinforcements from the Anatolian plateau.

- Former commander of the Moria Corps, Turahan Pasha who fled from mainland Greece to Asia Minor, and his descendants who had brought back from Europe.

This is a war-worthy mobile force in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and in the past few months, the Knights Hospitaller, Armenians and Kurds, who have tried to carve up the Ottoman Turkish legacy, have all been thwarted by the army's counterattack.

Now, it was the turn of Emperor Constantine XI and his hastily assembled motley army.

For this fateful opponent, the relevant information that the emperor can find out at the moment is very chaotic, and even contradicts and conflicts with each other. Some say that Turakhan Pasha had 20,000 troops at his side, others say that he gathered 50,000 men from various Turkic tribes, and there are also rumors that a great plague had just broken out in his military camp in Ankara, and that his soldiers either died or ran away, and he almost became a bare-bones commander.

Due to the lack of accurate military intelligence, the inability to determine the location and combat effectiveness of his opponents - it was difficult for Christian scouts to find accurate information on Muslim territory, and the intelligence apparatus of the Eastern Roman Empire had been abandoned for a long time - Constantine XI had to adopt the most conservative strategy, gathering the more elite mercenaries at his side and retaining a mobile combat force ready to respond. At the same time, the newly recruited Greek militia was released, and the remnants of the Turk settlements were swept away, continuing to "purify the pagan land with fire and sword."

“…… Should there be an immediate attack on the city of Bursa? In case during the siege, it will be troublesome to be attacked from behind by Turkish cavalry. If my 'Varangian Praetorian Guard' were still there. I wonder if I can get a helicopter gunship team to come and help? ”

Looking back at the interdimensional wormhole suspended in the center of the imperial tent with silver light and black mist, Emperor Constantine XI couldn't help but sigh, "...... How is it at this juncture. But they're all gone? What if the Turkish cavalry came to attack? ”

However, while Constantine XI was thinking about letting the time-travelers continue to help him continue to slaughter the Turks, the Chinese, Japanese, and Russian crossers, who were far away from the wormhole, were actually already thinking about whether to close the wormhole, and it was gone forever......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Hyundai Shijie, Tokyo, Ikebukuro North Exit Chinatown. Japan Nuclear Disaster Prevention and Management Corporation

In the spacious office room, the traces of the celebration banquet not long ago are still faint, but now they are replaced by another atmosphere of frustration and loss.

“…… I regret to inform you of one thing. Although the time of meeting is still very short, there is no banquet in the world, and the company has completed its due historical mission, and it is really impossible to receive new business. Then it's time to prepare for the closure and dismissal......"

Former Prime Minister of Japan. The current Minister in charge of the primary accident (nuclear disaster), the retired AKB Nakaji Girl Idol Singer, the owner of the evil king Makai, and Japan's strongest magical girl Kotori Yushiro, announced to the travelers of China, Japan and Russia with a melancholy face, "...... In short, discard the nuclear waste into the business of different shijie...... I'm afraid I can't do it anymore! ”

In this regard, the rest of the people also shook their heads and sighed helplessly.

-- Through the efforts of this time. They turned the European frontiers of the Eastern Roman Empire into a dead wasteland, building an impenetrable line of radiation defense. It has also emptied almost all of Japan's nuclear waste and radioactive waste that needs to be disposed of, and has basically completed its work in this island nation.

Next, just when they were excited to expand their business to all shijie, they were poured cold water by the cold reality.

Specifically, other countries with nuclear power plants other than Japan have no plans to dispose of nuclear waste in other countries for the time being.

Belch? How so? Weishenme: Are governments interested in this kind of nuclear waste disposal that will never cause trouble?

The reason is simple, there is a saying that there is no absolutely useless garbage in this world, only misplaced resources.

Although the high-level radioactive nuclear waste discharged from the nuclear reactor may cause radioactive contamination and endanger human health, the uranium and plutonium contained in it are also resources that can be recycled -- but in the current international market, the price of natural uranium is relatively low, but the cost of recycling and disposing of nuclear waste is relatively high, and it is not economically cost-effective to recycle nuclear waste for reuse. Once the price of natural uranium fluctuates significantly, nuclear waste, which was once regarded as a hot potato, will once again become an important raw material for the nuclear industry.

Even those fission product residues that cannot be recycled at present and can only be buried deep and hidden, with the progress of science jishu, there will be a day when waste will be turned into treasure - for example, in the early nineteenth century, in the oil production industry, because the engine that used gasoline had not yet been invented, the refineries at that time collected diesel and heavy oil to light the lamp, but discarded the gasoline as garbage......

In this case, no one is willing to throw away these hard-won high-level radioactive nuclear wastes in vain if conditions permit.

Several of today's nuclear powers, such as China, Russia, India, and the United States, have vast expanses of uninhabited ice fields, deserts, and mountains that can be used to hoard vast amounts of nuclear waste. European countries such as Germany and France, although relatively small, are also very confident in the safety factor of their nuclear waste warehouses. Only Japan, an unfortunate island country, has many nuclear power plants on the one hand, a narrow and densely populated land on the other hand, and the earth's crust is moving violently, and earthquakes and tsunamis are frequent, so it is difficult for the whole country to find a stable and open place to hoard nuclear waste.

The only place in East Asia where Japan seems to be in a similar position is Taiwan, with its nuclear power plants, small land, dense population, and frequent earthquakes and typhoons...... But once this matter involves the mainland, Taiwan, and Japan. Coupled with the possibility of the Americans stirring up the situation, it will be very troublesome to coordinate and communicate between the parties, and it is easy to involve some political red lines. Moreover, the credibility of the Taiwan authorities is also very questionable.

Therefore, according to the results of the former Prime Minister Kotori Yumashiro's trial for a while, no other country is willing to spend money to throw nuclear waste into other countries.

As a result, after completing the disposal of nuclear waste in Japan, the travelers realized that there was nothing left to do.

And then they have to go through the wormhole again and return to the Eastern Roman Empire in the 15th century. It also became a problem.

“…… Alas, we helped the Eastern Roman emperor to conquer and regain lost territory, originally to build more nuclear waste dumps. But as it stands. It seems that there is no need......"

After hearing this bad news, Commissar Sonia couldn't help but bang her fingers on the table and muttered, "...... Even if you want to trade across planes. Asia Minor in the XV century. There don't seem to be any resources worth mentioning either, not even decent trees......"

“…… Yes, our comrade emperor has a territory that is only the size of a palm, and he can't get anything good except for some gold, silver, jewelry, and marble statues. Moreover, he is a group of devout Christians with a strong faith, and we can't do it even if we want to pretend to be God. To engage in some spice trading, you have to hide it, if you bring modern industrial products that are ahead of the times. If you can't say it, you're going to be a wizard......"

For this operation through the Eastern Roman Empire, Wang Qiu also felt full of discomfort, "...... Moreover, the Eastern Roman Empire in the Middle Ages did not produce much good – oil was buried in the Middle East and North Africa, gemstones were found in Iran and India, cedar and sandalwood were grown in Lebanon, and frankincense resin was grown as far away as the Arabian Peninsula. Silk and pepper are so abundant on our side that it's not worth getting them there. Although the area on the edge of the Aegean Sea is the cradle of ancient Greek civilization, from the point of view of resources, it is really scarce......"

Wang Qiu thought about it, and found that the cross-time and space trade with the Eastern Roman Empire was really not easy to do, because he really didn't know what goods to get from that time and space back to modern Shijie to sell," ...... Prior to the discovery of the Americas, there was a limited amount of gold and silver currency in Europe, and in the Middle Ages, German merchants relied on keeping accounts with each other for their business, because there were simply not so many coins on the market. Not to mention the fact that we have just wiped out so many people with the plague, almost paralyzed trade around the Mediterranean, wiped out potential markets and customers, and saw that spices and silk were on the verge of being sold...... It seems that the only way to make a profit is to sell medicines...... It's really unwilling......"

However, neither the ambitious Emperor Constantine XI nor the entangled, modern travelers, did not expect that the situation on the battlefield in Asia Minor was in danger of being reversed by the Turks at this time......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the southern shore of the Marmara Sea, on the outskirts of Bursa, in the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor

Over the centuries, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Crusaders of Western Europe, and the Turkish Muslims fought and slaughtered the land, and it also allowed different civilizations to mingle. The remains of ancient Greek temples lined with colonnades, sturdy Orthodox monasteries, Crusader-domed Gothic churches, and Muslim-built domed mosques are all scattered across the land, revealing ethnic and religious diversity.

However, at the moment when the Eastern Roman Empire launched a Jedi counterattack, all this was drowned in the purgatory of blood and fire with swords and swords.

-- Thousands of Greek Christians, at the call of the Orthodox Church and the Roman Emperor, let the billowing black smoke and the cries of Turkish women and children be repeated in this blood-soaked land.

Even the Christian towns that had defected in time were not spared by the fighting, with the acquiescence of the Orthodox Christians, many of the homes close to the Turks were smashed open by the soldiers, dragged out men, women, and children for amusement, and swept away all the valuables.

All this was done to please God Almighty and to manifest the glory of Rome.

“…… Allah, Akbar! (Allah is the greatest)"

“…… Glorify my Lord and slay the infidels! ”

Accompanied by bloodthirsty shouts, heavily armed Eastern Roman soldiers, clad in Muslim chain mail captured under the city of Constantinople, armed with glittering Turkish scimitars, launched a fierce assault on a stubbornly resisting Turkish immigrant village.

Perhaps because of the loss of too many warriors and young men outside Constantinople, the legendary Turkish scimitar knights and archers who came and went like a whirlwind did not appear outside the town. So, after a short but fierce battle, the well-armed Greek soldiers, easily crushing the spontaneous resistance of the Turkish immigrants, blasted the rudimentary fence with artillery, and then rushed in with the mutilated corpses, turning the town of the towering mosque and minaret into a carnival playground for them to burn, kill, plunder, and take revenge.
