The exchange of fire between Bulgaria and the Ottomans on the border immediately attracted the attention of various countries. The Balkans are a sensitive region in which Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia, Great Britain and Germany have interests. Therefore, every move in the Balkans is particularly interesting.

And the sudden exchange of fire between Bulgaria and the Ottomans on the border made Carlo prioritize the attitude of his allies. After all, the attention of this place is too high, and no one can be sure if it is an ally behind it.

Soon, however, there was no longer such a doubt as Karlo, for telegrams of inquiry had been sent from Berlin and Vienna, and it was evident that they were not aware of it.

Since everyone doesn't know about it, it becomes a bit of a joke.

For the sake of conservatism, Carlo ordered the Italian troops in Albania and the provinces of Kosovo to stop being put on leave and put them on full alert, and in addition to this, the army dropped two divisions from the mainland and temporarily entered the two provinces as a precautionary measure.

As for the dispute between Bulgaria and the Ottomans, it will have to wait and see.

At present, the disputes between Bulgaria and the Ottomans in various European countries are similar to those in Italy, and they are not busy until they see how the situation develops next.

Not to the disappointment of the onlookers, after the exchange of fire between Bulgaria and the Ottomans, both countries mobilized their troops to the border, and the refusal of the two sides was purely a posture of wanting a big battle.

Of course, the governments still have to make their calls for peace, and even several ambassadors have even called on the two countries to calm down. Appeal is appeal, what the actual situation looks like, this is not known to the people at the bottom.

At a time when Bulgaria and the Ottomans were at odds with each other, and when they thought that war was about to break out between the two sides, suddenly a country came into the eyes of each country.

The Greeks claimed that the Greeks in South Macedonia were oppressed by the Ottoman government, and demanded that the Ottoman Empire withdraw from South Macedonia and put it under Greek supervision, and that the people of South Macedonia decide where they belonged after a year.

The sudden arrival of the Greeks made the countries immediately feel that Bulgaria and Greece must have reached some kind of agreement, at least on the question of the Ottomans.

While the nations were pondering, the Ottomans, who were being targeted, were of course unlikely to accept Greece's demands.

As a side note, there is a drought in the Ottoman country, and in the winter there was little rain in the Ottoman territory, and in the spring it was even more rainy.

As we all know, the grain producing areas in the Ottoman territory are all Mediterranean climate, and the lack of rain in winter will lead to a reduction in grain production, not to mention the fact that there is no rain in spring and basically no rain in summer, which also leads to a complete outbreak of Ottoman drought.

The outbreak of drought caused the Ottomans to fall into internal trouble, and Bulgaria and Greece saw the opportunity to prepare for the Ottomans to compete with the Ottomans for South Macedonia and Thrace.

Faced with Bulgarian and Greek pressing, the Ottomans did not intend to give up. The Ottoman decline in these years led to the loss of a large amount of territory, which had long provoked the discontent of the Ottoman population. Prior to this, the coming to power of the Turkish Al-Shabaab was a manifestation of this discontent.

Although Al-Shabaab was ousted by other parties due to its political immaturity, everyone knows that al-Shabaab has now become a force to be reckoned with in Ottoman politics.

Therefore, no one in the Ottoman country dared to accept such a condition of land cession, and the al-Shabaab, after learning of the unreasonable demands of the Greeks, even encouraged the people to defend the Ottoman Empire.

After the Ottomans refused their demands, Greece immediately declared war on the Ottomans. The day after Greece declared war on the Ottomans, Bulgaria also declared war on the Ottomans.

At this point, the Balkan War broke out, and Bulgaria and Greece jointly launched an attack on the Ottomans.

The key point of this war is Adrianople, located at the confluence of the Maricha and Densar rivers.

It is currently the Ottoman military stronghold and the last strong line of defense in Istanbul, the capital of Ottomans. Prior to this, Italy had joined forces with Bulgaria to conquer the city.

But then, for various reasons, Adrianople returned to the arms of the Ottomans. After the regain, the Ottomans, under the guidance of German military advisers, further strengthened the fortified city. Among them, the fortress built on the north side of Mount Adduar formed a corner with Adrianople to the south, and strengthened the Ottoman advantage in the city.

And the first battle of the war was fought in this area, where the 1st Bulgarian Army, repulsing the Ottoman 10th Division, defending the Mariča River, arrived around Adrianople.

It was not so much that the Bulgarians repelled the Ottoman army, but that they retreated to Adrianople with a little resistance. Here, the Ottomans gathered an army of 178,000 men. Of these, 94,000 were trained by German military advisers, and their equipment and training were among the best in the Ottoman army.

At present, the army trained by German advisers has only 161,000 men in the Ottoman army. Except for the parts that are stationed in the capital Istanbul (43,000) and South Macedonia (23,000), they are all here.

In the face of the elite troops gathered by the Ottomans, Bulgaria was not bad. After the outbreak of the war, Bulgaria formed three army groups with a total strength of 217,000 men. With the exception of the Third Army, which was left home with poor personnel and equipment (29,000 men), the other two armies were on the Adrianople front. However, given Adrianople's strong fortifications, the Bulgarians did not do it immediately, and they needed to uproot the surrounding strongholds first.

Therefore, the Bulgarian and Austrian armies fought a not fierce but extremely bloody battle in Adrianople.

While the battle was raging in Adrianople, Greece, as an ally of Bulgaria, also attacked South Macedonia, and the Greek army of 94,000 men, under the leadership of Crown Prince Constantine, launched an attack on the Ottoman army in South Macedonia. The Ottoman army currently stationed in South Macedonia is only more than 50,000 people, and they can only choose to hold on in the face of the Greek offensive.

After a month of fighting, the Greek army defeated the Ottoman army and captured from it the cities of Thessaloniki, Veria, Ezesa, Kavala, and parts of Thrace.

In addition to the battles on land, there was no fall at sea either.

The Greek Navy fought the same naval battle with the Ottoman Navy in the Aegean Sea, and after a tough battle, the Greek Navy managed to repel the Ottoman Navy. Subsequently, the Greek Navy successfully blocked the Dardanelles, the Ottoman Navy's access to the sea, and kept the Ottoman Navy in the Black Sea.

From the beginning, Osman fell into passivity on both land and sea fronts. The high morale of the Bulgarians and the Greeks in this war surprised observers from all countries. As for the Ottoman army, although the army trained by German advisers was much better than before, its will to fight was not as good as that of its opponents. Not to mention those troops who have not been reorganized, their performance is a little stretched.

In the face of this situation, the Ottomans did not sit still, and in addition to constantly mobilizing troops to fight between the two countries, the Ottomans also set their sights on other countries.

"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.
