The negotiations between the three countries in London are somewhat incomprehensible because there is some confusion. The reason is simple: the onlooker powers are pressuring influence to make the outcome of the negotiations more favorable to their side.

Therefore, the tripartite negotiations did not go smoothly at all, and they basically broke up after talking for more than ten minutes at the venue, which made the progress of the negotiations very slow.

The two countries are very anxious about this, because they know that the longer they delay, the easier it is to cause trouble. However, the great powers of various countries are not anxious about this at all, and they are all busy intriguing.

Germany and Austria, for example, took a Ottoman approach, while Russia was a bit entangled, first of all, it was very interested in the historic city of Istanbul and did not want it to be taken by other countries. Second, Russia is very influential in Bulgaria, and Russia is reluctant to have a stiff relationship with Bulgaria. In addition, Bulgaria's growing strength threatened Russian penetration into the Balkans.

And Britain and France still said the same thing, as long as they ensure that the major powers do not fight for the Balkans.

As for Italy, unlike other countries, it does not seem to take the negotiations very seriously and does not intend to exert its influence.

Italy does not want to exert influence, but there are other countries that want to influence it.

"Your Majesty, Germany and Austria have sent a telegram, hoping that our three countries can agree on the same opinion in the negotiations in London."

In front of Carlo, Foreign Minister Bacona reported to him the news from Germany and Austria.

"Why, why did the two countries seek our help, I remember that they didn't have the upper hand?"

Faced with King Carlo's inquiry, Bacona spoke. "As far as I can tell, it seems that there has been a slight change in the venue, a change in the attitude of the Russians."

As soon as he heard this, Carlo became interested. "What has changed?"

"Russia's attitude is biased in favor of the two countries, supporting them in drawing a new state border according to the position of the two armies."

"What?"

Upon hearing the Foreign Secretary's words, Carlo showed a surprised expression. This is so unexpected, this hairy bear has changed his sex and started to eat fasting and chanting Buddha?

Don't blame Carlo for being so skeptical, because it is a man who knows Russia's ambitions for Istanbul. This is the cognition brought about by countless Turkish-Russian wars, as long as the woolly bear has a little strength, then it must be to beat the chicken, it can be said that the woolly bear is either beating the chicken, or on the way to prepare to beat the chicken.

And what is in the hands of the local chicken is the control of Istanbul, or the Black Sea straits. As long as this is involved, then it is like touching the sore spot of the woolly bear, and you will never give up without biting the other party until you don't want to live.

Now the woolly bear actually allows Bulgaria and Greece to stand on the new border and see Istanbul, which does not look like the style of the Russians.

"I don't believe it either, but that's what it is."

Bacona could understand the king's overreaction, because when he saw the news for the first time, he scolded the secretary. thinks that his work is irresponsible, and he is so brainless to show him fake news.

"Any other news?"

As for the sudden change of attitude in Russia, Carlo did not know the reason, so he asked.

In response to the king's inquiry, Bakona replied with a shake of his head. "No, I paid attention to it."

"In that case, let our envoy be in line with Germany and Austria."

Whatever the problem, it will eventually be revealed.

After Italy promised Germany and Austria to advance and retreat together in the London peace talks, the London peace talks began to advance slowly.

Although it is no longer a matter of saying two words and breaking up unhappily, it is full of talking about the result.

However, there is one point that has not attracted the attention of various countries, that is, Greek Foreign Minister Mavros did not come to London, and the Greek side gave the reason that Mavros could not make the trip due to illness, and could only be accompanied by Deputy Minister Dasilva.

However, the reality is that this Mavros did not get sick, but appeared in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

Inside the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mavros was speaking to an old man with silver hair on his head.

"Your Excellency Narol, I have come with sincerity. The current situation must have seen that the war against the Ottomans has ended, and Bulgaria is about to gain a large part of the country. It already occupies the largest position among the Balkan countries in terms of area, and with this expansion its population is expected to be only a million less than yours, and considering the courage of the Bulgarians, then in fact Bulgaria is now the first power in the Balkans. And the Bulgarians became the first power, can your country be indifferent? ”

That's right, Mavros was in front of Romanian Foreign Minister Narol, and his mission was to draw Romania into an alliance against Bulgaria.

To add an aside, Mavros entered Romania from Serbia. Because just three days ago, he had just signed a military alliance with Serbia against Bulgaria. According to the agreement, the two countries jointly sent troops against Bulgaria and seized Macedonia and Thrace from its hands.

However, although the alliance formed by Greece and Serbia, they also want to find an ally, and Romania, which has always been the strongest country in the Balkans, is their choice.

"My country already understands what Your Excellency means, but your country also knows that last year's peasant uprising in my country caused us a lot of losses, and it was powerless to participate."

In the face of Mavros's rhetoric, Romanian Foreign Minister Narol spread his hands and talked about his country's difficulties.

Among the Balkan countries, Romania is a special existence, as it is rarely involved in Balkan disputes. Basically, they guard their own one-third of an acre.

It doesn't work otherwise, it is Tsarist Russia to the east and Austria-Hungary to the northwest, sandwiched between two powers, and what energy can Romania have to care about other things.

Of course, just because he doesn't have this mind doesn't mean he doesn't have this mind, otherwise what would Mavross do here?

Mavros did not hide this, the task of this trip was very tight, and he could not delay too much, so he directly opened the terms negotiated with the Serbs.

"Our country and Serbia are also aware of your country's difficulties, so we both believe that if your country can send troops with us, then after the war your country will receive 4,000 square kilometers of fertile land in South Dobroga. In addition, the Romanian diaspora in Macedonia in your country can be returned, and we and Serbia will be able to provide some compensation after the war, worth no less than £2 million, although this will not be a lump sum payment. ”

As for Mavros's offer, Narol considered the pros and cons.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Mavross knew that this was heartbroken, and then continued. "In fact, your country's joining the alliance against Bulgaria is also conducive to reducing its own pressure, after all, your country is facing the worst situation for us small Balkan countries."

As if moved by what the other party said, Narol immediately spoke. "I need to report this to the king, and in addition to that, my country needs a commitment. That is, during the war with Bulgaria, it was necessary to guarantee that Russia would not intervene. ”

For the current Romania, the biggest threat is the Russians. Of course, there is more than this in Narol's words, and there is also a meaning that it is necessary to ensure that the Russians do not intervene in this war.

Mavros certainly knew about the Romanians' worries, and if it weren't for the contact in Belgrade, he would have had the same concerns. But now, he said with great confidence. "Your Excellency, rest assured, we can guarantee that the Russians will never help Bulgaria, and neither will the Germans, Austrians, and Italy."

"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.
