Not to mention the unsolved mystery of the Tunguska explosion, which is now nothing more than an unknown natural phenomenon that governments can neither eat nor see, and is completely unworthy of attention.

Of course, if someone is willing to go to the scientific expedition to find out, it can also satisfy a little curiosity. So Italy made a request to go to Tunguska for scientific research, and the Russian government agreed without even thinking about it. Not only that, but the Russian Academy of Sciences also sent several scientists to join the expedition.

It is worth mentioning that considering that the destination of this expedition is very remote and sparsely populated, in order to ensure the successful completion of this expedition, the Italian expedition team was assisted by an Italian airship.

Although the carrying capacity of this medium-sized airship known as the Hongyan is only 15 tons, it is enough to drive 17 members of the scientific expedition team and their equipment directly from the air to Russia, and then bring a few Russian scientists to rush all the way to Omsk, which will become the departure station of the scientific expedition team, and the next thing is to fly directly to Tunguska.

The whole airship pick-up and drop-off, this scientific expedition team can be regarded as an unusually luxurious one, and this alone is enough to leave a name in history.

Except for Italy and Russia, the eyes of other countries are focused on the Balkan War.

In Adrianople, after twenty days of bloody fighting, the Bulgarian coalition finally captured this important military town.

In order to seize this important military town, the Bulgarian and Greek coalition forces suffered 47,000 casualties, lost more than 2,000 missing, lost 271 artillery pieces, and consumed 500,000 rounds of various artillery shells, including more than 20,000 large-caliber shells that played the most critical role.

And the Bulgarian coalition army suffered such heavy casualties, so it naturally reaped a lot of results.

The Ottomans suffered 68,000 casualties, 41,000 missing, and 674 artillery pieces lost in this decisive battle (of which 181 were captured by the coalition forces, especially those fortified guns, and some of the Ottoman officers and soldiers who were busy retreating, did not even have time to destroy). ）

And those missing Ottoman officers and soldiers, many of whom were reinforcements from Asia, were not highly motivated, and after suffering a major blow, they could easily be routed without a trace.

The losses were so great that the Ottoman military realized that there was simply no way to defend the vast area from Adrianople to Istanbul. Therefore, the policy of resistance was formulated, intending to slow down the advance of the Bulgarian and Greek coalition forces along the way, and win time for the defense of Istanbul.

Of course, in addition to resisting at home, seeking mediation from other countries also became a top priority for the Ottomans. The Ottomans knew Istanbul quite well in their own hands.

But in any case, first of all, the Ottomans needed to stop the combined forces of the two countries.

The resistance of the Ottoman hopes, a bit too much, was broken all the way by the Bulgarian and Greek forces. Many towns in the Thracian region, such as Hafsa, Tekilda, Saray, Chorlu and Markara, fell into the hands of the coalition forces.

The Ottoman army retreated until near Istanbul before finally holding on. The reason is that the new army stationed in the capital finally participated in the battle. With their help, the Bulgarian coalition forces, which had left behind their heavy weapons all the way, could only stop. Of course, stopping and stopping, the Bulgarian coalition began to clear the surrounding routs.

In the face of such a blatant dispatch of troops by the Bulgarian coalition army, the Ottoman army could only suppress its anger in the bottom of its heart, because it was good to be able to hold the defense line of the capital at present, and the first priority to defend the capital was to rectify the defeated troops who had retreated.

At present, the Ottomans can still control the European territory, in addition to the capital Istanbul, the only Gallipoli Peninsula that guards the Dardanelles Strait, the peninsula is equipped with coastal defense artillery, and the small peninsula is not suitable for large-scale use of troops, so the Bulgarian coalition army only put one division to watch the defenders of the peninsula, and the others are ready to go to Istanbul to prepare to seize this thousand-year-old holy land.

I don't need to say much about the importance of Istanbul, which has always been a dream place in Russia. So when the Bulgarian-Greek coalition approached Istanbul, the Russians could not sit still. Its foreign minister, Shachanov, has publicly stated that the war in the Balkans has come to a halt, and that the war has caused too many people to be homeless and displaced.

Privately, Russia warned Bulgaria and Greece that if the fighting continued, Russia would send troops to intervene.

In addition to Russia, Germany and Austria were equally reluctant to be too weakened by the Ottomans. Germany had no small interests in the Ottomans, while Austria-Hungary had little interest in the Ottomans, but its ambitions were to expand in the Balkans. And if the Bulgarians and Greeks get too much benefit from the Ottomans, then it will affect the expansion of Austria-Hungary.

In particular, although Bulgaria is weaker in population and economic strength than Romania, its strong combat effectiveness in the war is the most fearful to Austria-Hungary, and it is even more reluctant to continue its expansion.

On the British and French side, although they had little interest in the Balkans, they considered that if they attracted the intervention of other powers, then things could become uncontrollable, and they also called for armistice negotiations.

As for Italy, although its interests in the Balkans are not small, it also does not want a powerful country in the region.

Thanks to King Carlo's sober understanding, it is better for Italy to be less involved in the powder keg of the Balkans, so Italy, which has the best geographical location, also supports the armistice in the Balkans.

Since all the great powers have spoken out to demand an armistice, Bulgaria and Greece, which have an absolute advantage, will naturally not be able to withstand it. Don't look at their current situation, if they really don't obey and fight Istanbul, then the powers of various countries have countless means to let the two countries know that they are powerful.

The two Bulgarians, knowing how much strength they have, could only agree to an armistice. Even if they are looking forward to Istanbul, but the situation is pressing!

Pauci agreed to armistice negotiations, and the Ottomans, as the underdog, had no reason not to agree. Although they blocked the Bulgarian coalition army in the suburbs, their own family knew their own affairs, and the Ottoman losses in this war were too large, and a large number of combat-ready troops were annihilated, which greatly damaged the Ottoman army.

Although a number of weapons and equipment were obtained from Germany and Austria, people could not only be armed with weapons but also need time to train. In addition, the officers who led the team also needed time to train, so the Ottomans were naturally very willing to negotiate an armistice.

Since we want to talk, we naturally need to choose a place to talk. After some discussion, London became the agreed site for the warring nations. So each of the three countries sent a delegation to London.

Of course, since the great powers want to mediate this war, it is inevitable to watch the negotiations between the three 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.
