The air station outside Rome was once again crowded, with nearly 100,000 people watching the arrival of the Swan airship. After a 23-day voyage, the Swan returned to its place of departure.

As the Swan slowly landed, the onlookers let out bursts of cheers. When the door of the Swan airship opened, the band played a cheerful song to welcome the passengers who had completed the round-the-world flight.

"Mr. Andrews, congratulations on completing your journey around the Earth, here's your commemorative badge."

"Mr. Jonathan, congratulations ......"

Alman, the general manager of Alitalia, took out a medallion from the tray and placed it on the chest of every passenger who disembarked from the airship.

This commemorative medal issued by Italian Airlines is also quite attentive. The medallion is made of silver on a copper background, with the upper part of the obverse depicting the Swan airship and the earth below. On the back of the medal, the words "Around the World in 23 Days" are written in the upper part, and in the lower part is written in small print for each customer who participated in the first circumnavigation of the world.

There are 36 medals in total, all of which are carefully carved and can be regarded as perfect.

Although the passengers who got off the airship were either rich or expensive, this kind of commemorative medal was scratching the itch. So everyone looked happy and even chatted a little more with the photographer and the reporter who wanted to interview.

The whole airport was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Of course, the huge welcome ceremony organized by Alitalia this time also has its own purpose. During the Swan's round-the-world flight, the boom in air travel came as promised. Many people ask when it will be the next round-the-world voyage and want to experience the fun of flying around the world.

In the face of the surging passengers, Alitalia had to postpone the opening time of the American route, planning to wait for the Swan airship to be completely overhauled before making another round-the-world flight.

Of course, this round-the-world flight is not just about getting Alitalia a large number of potential passengers, who are either rich or expensive. As the world's leading manufacturer of rigid airships, Zeppelin is also facing a surge of orders. Every day, people ask about the construction of the airship, so that the busy feet of the company's front desk do not touch the ground.

Of course, more importantly, Count Zeppelin decided to expand the airship manufacturing plant in order to get the most out of this craze.

The Swan's round-the-world flight was an outstanding advertisement, making airlines and manufacturers a lot of money.

So this round-the-world flight is simply worth a thousand dollars, and the Swan is also treated like a star in this round-the-world flight, and it can become the focus of attention everywhere it goes.

In San Francisco, 100,000 people watched the Swan's arrival in the city.

In Tokyo, nearly a million people watched the Swan fly to the site, and the crew of the Swan was treated to the Japanese Emperor.

In Beijing, the largest industrial crystallization in history also made the Qing people stunned, so even the Empress Dowager, who was not in good health, watched the grand occasion of its flight to Beijing from the courtyard.

After causing a sensation in the Far East, the Swan went all the way to the west, which also caused a sensation.

In Tehran, more than 200,000 Iranians watched the arrival of the Swan.

In Istanbul, Sultan Abdul Hamid II even boarded the Swan and experienced it.

The Swan's round-the-world flight has allowed all countries in the world to see the great role of airships in aviation. It is believed that after this flight, the importance of airships will definitely reach a new high.

In fact, when the Swan was flying around the world, countries had already taken action.

In the UK, a new round of funding for airship research has just been approved.

In Russia, Tsar Nicholas II also approved the order for the development of the country's airships.

In the Far East, Emperor Meiji of Japan called on the people to donate money for the purchase and introduction of airships. For this reason, he also allocated 300,000 yen from the palace to the military.

The same is true in France, where the government is bringing together civilian companies to conduct joint research on airships with the military.

In the United States, Major Bryd's report was also heeded, and Theodore Roosevelt, who had been serving for most of the year, even publicly declared that the United States needed to form its own air fleet.

That's right, it's the air fleet, and the old President Roosevelt, who loved the navy so much, believed that this huge airship was a battleship in the air, a continuation of the navy to the sky, so it was not too much to call it an air fleet.

And President Roosevelt Sr. also has a like-minded person for this title of airship, that is, Admiral Filscher, Secretary of the Admiralty of the British Empire. As for the reason, it is also very simple, it is obvious that it is necessary to include airships in the establishment of the navy in order to increase the strength of the navy.

Of course, no matter what it is called, the military use of the airship is also shown in this Swan round-the-world flight. It can be seen that various countries have embarked on the development and introduction of airships.

Of course, Germany and Italy, which are currently at the forefront of airship research, are also studying the use of airships and training methods.

The German military formed an airship wing, which planned to equip 48 airships of various types. And in Italy, too, there are thirty-six airships.

However, at present, there are not enough airships in the two countries, on the one hand, the construction of Zeppelin has been in short supply, and on the other hand, the airships are expensive and the procurement cost is not low.

In addition, only a few of the airship purchases by the Italian military came from Zeppelin. Others are built in the country. Italy, which has been licensed for Zeppelin technology, has opened an 80-hectare airship manufacturing plant in Milan. The construction of the Italian military, as well as the subsequent airships of the Italian Airlines, will be built by this plant. The plant is not yet complete, and it will take at least a year to start construction.

"It's so hilarious!"

Inside the palace, Carlo looked at today's newspaper, which had a front-page headline about the completion of the Swan's round-the-world flight.

As the driving force behind the current airship craze, Carlo is happy to see it.

To be honest, although the airship looks much brighter than the airplane in all aspects, the airship, a huge and slow flying machine, cannot become the king of the sky. It can only be used as a substitute for the immature technology of the aircraft, and only has advantages in transportation. So how could Carlo not be happy when countries are conducting research and construction of airships.

"McLene, continue to come up with funds for newspapers around the world to cover the airship."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Looking at the departing captain of the guard, Carlo withdrew his gaze.

That's right, Carlo has half the credit for this vigorous airship craze. Many of the reports on the airship in newspapers around the world are sponsored.

Just as Carlo was enjoying the path of the country, he suddenly heard the guards come in to report. "Your Majesty, Your Excellency Bacona has an urgent matter to see."

"Ask him to come in."

When he heard that the foreign secretary was anxious to see him, Carlo, of course, would not let him wait.

I saw Foreign Secretary Bakona walking in with a telegram. "Your Majesty, the Balkan emergency, the Bulgarian army and the Ottoman army have exchanged fire on the border between the two sides, which is known to have caused dozens of casualties on both sides, and the armies of the two sides have gathered in the area."

"What?"

As soon as he heard the Foreign Secretary's words, Carlo immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Ask Vienna and Berlin at once what they think about the matter."

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
