The British's proposal to reduce the navy without a problem was but a minor episode of 1908. With the exception of the three countries concerned, the people of other countries were not aware of the proposal.

At present, the international major event that attracts the most attention from all countries is the war in the Balkans.

The three kingdoms of Paucio are now in full swing, and the three countries have gathered more than 600,000 troops in Adrianople and its surroundings for a decisive battle.

For this decisive battle, most of them are optimistic about the Bulgarian and Greek coalition forces, the reason is very simple, the reports sent back by the observation missions sent by various countries are basically the same tone, that is, if there is no other country to intervene in this war, then the Bulgarian and Greek countries will most likely win.

And the form of the battlefield is also in their words, although the Ottoman army is not badly equipped and the training is good, but it is far inferior to the two countries. In order to prepare for the seizure of the remaining Ottoman territories in the Balkans, the Bulgarian and Greek military expenditures accounted for about 40% of the financial expenditure, and in terms of artillery, morale, and combat level, the Bulgarian and Greek countries had an absolute upper hand.

In this case, under the condition that there is no difference in the strength of the two sides, then the scale of the battlefield will inevitably tilt towards the Baoxi coalition army. The towns of Shatanu, Gardner, and Mount Bavit in Adriano were conquered by the Bulgarian coalition one after another. The Bulgarian coalition forces were already in a semi-encircled posture on three sides of Adrianople.

Faced with this dilemma, the Ottomans used the fortifications of Adrianople to hold on, and on the other hand, stepped up the transfer of troops from the Asian part. At present, the Ottomans have drawn 181,000 troops from Asia to reinforce Adrianople. However, the equipment, training and morale of these troops from Asia are not as good as those in Europe, so their performance on the battlefield is not very good, but this can also serve the purpose of depleting the Bulgarian and Greek coalition forces.

In the face of the Ottoman army's attempt to consume them with manpower, the Bulgarian coalition army actually knew it. And the solution of the Bulgarian coalition is to come up with their own killer weapon, and the siege heavy artillery units of the two countries have been transported to Adrianople. They intend to use the heavy artillery in their hands to crack open the hard walnut of Adrianople.

The decisive battle of Adrianople was in full swing, which naturally attracted the attention of all countries. However, an inexplicable strange thing at this time is also attracting attention.

In the early morning of the last day of June 1908, near the Tunguska River in the Russian Far East, the local residents had just woken up, and the sun was lazily shining through the windows, and suddenly they noticed that there was an extra "sun" in the sky!

A fireball-shaped object with a diameter of 50-100 meters streaked across the sky from southeast to northwest, and a few minutes later, a strong light lit up the entire sky, and then an explosion occurred with a loud thunderous sound. Within a radius of 1,000 kilometers, a huge roar was heard.

The explosion was recorded by seismic stations across Eurasia, and the barometric instability it caused was even detected by the automatic barometric pressure recorder that had just been invented by the British at the time. In the days following the incident, the night skies in Asia and Europe took on a dark red color.

In the United States, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Mount Wilson Observatory have observed a decrease in atmospheric transparency for at least several months. People in many European countries saw day-like flashes in the night sky, and even in the United States, far across the ocean, people felt the earth tremble.

Faced with such a phenomenon, no one can explain what is happening. For this there was newspaper propaganda that it was the end of the world prophesied by the Mayans. Others say it's an alien invasion, while others say it's a natural phenomenon.

Whatever it is, however, it has led to a huge increase in newspaper sales in various countries, and a variety of scientists have tried to decipher the phenomenon encountered.

The newspaper hype naturally attracted Carlo's attention.

"How did I forget about it?"

Carlo looked at the newspaper report and recalled the redness he had seen in the night sky two days before, and a wave of memories came flooding back to him.

That's right, for this Guston explosion, it was very popular in later generations. Some say it's antimatter, and a meteorite made up of "antimatter" accidentally broke into the Earth and caused the disaster.

Others say it was caused by a comet impact, a comet made up of loose snow masses from far away parts of the solar system. When it breaks through the atmosphere on the Earth's surface at a speed of 40,000 kilometers per hour, it produces superheated gases due to friction. As soon as the gas touched the ground, a huge shock wave equivalent to the destructive power of several atomic bombs was generated, and since the comet quickly evaporated, no wreckage was left on Earth as "physical evidence".

Others say that it is caused by ice, comets made of ice and gas, or snow-like gases mixed with particles with high melting points.

It is even more unreliable to believe that it was a big explosion caused by the crash of an alien spacecraft.

The most popular belief is that the Guston explosion may have been caused by an asteroid impact.

And the various speculations that were rumored in the previous life were mainly because they did not send people to investigate at the first time. The first survey in history was not carried out until 1927, when a scientific expedition of Soviet scientists conducted the first survey of the area.

It's been 19 years since the Big Bang, and a lot of things have been lost over time.

But despite this, the expedition team was also very shocked. A crater with a span of about 50 meters, surrounded by scorched earth after the fire for 30 kilometers, and thousands of square kilometers of trees lodging in all directions. Kulik dug several meters near the crater, but surprisingly found no trace of the meteorite.

Carlo was very curious about this and wanted to know the cause of the explosion, so he wanted to send a scientific expedition team to conduct a thorough investigation.

"Let the chief guard come to me, I have something to arrange. Also, please come over to His Excellency Bacona, I need him to communicate with Russia. ”

With Carlo's order, the chief of the guard arrived as soon as possible.

Carlo asked the chief of the guard to gather a group of geologists, biology, and astronomers to form a scientific expedition to Guston to investigate.

Faced with Carlo's order, the chief of the guard immediately set about it.

He really came and went in such a hurry that when the foreign secretary arrived, he could only see his back.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to summon me?"

In response to Bacona's inquiry, Carlo spoke. "I want you to send someone to communicate with the Russians."

Carlo's words made Bakona's heart tense, at this time, in such a complicated situation in the Balkans, is it too conspicuous to send someone to communicate with Russia. You must know that the interests of Italy and Germany and Austria are very closely entangled at present, and it is not a good idea to send people to contact Russia.

But Carlo didn't give the foreign secretary in front of him much time for inner drama.

"Our country wants to send a scientific expedition team to investigate the big explosion that occurred in the Russian Far East."

Yes?

Bacona, who was surprised by Carlo's words, did not expect that His Majesty would actually want to investigate a big explosion in such a tense situation in the Balkans.

"What, what's the problem?"

Seeing the foreign secretary with a stunned face, Carlo asked the other party.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll do it."

"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.
