Not to mention the unsolved mystery of the Tunguska explosion, it is now just an unknown natural phenomenon. For governments, it can neither be eaten nor seen, and it is completely unworthy of attention.
Of course, if anyone is willing to take a scientific examination to learn more, 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, the Russian Academy of Sciences also sent several scientists to join the scientific expedition team.
It is worth mentioning that, considering that the destination of this scientific expedition is very remote and sparsely populated, in order to ensure the successful completion of this scientific expedition, the Italian scientific expedition team received the assistance of an Alitalia airship.
Although this medium-sized airship called Hongyan has a load capacity of only fifteen tons, it is enough to carry 17 scientific expedition members and their equipment directly from the air to Russia. With a few Russian scientists, they can rush all the way. Omsk will be the starting point for the scientific expedition team, and the next step will be a direct flight to Tunguska.
The whole journey was transported by airship. This scientific expedition team was extremely luxurious. This alone is enough to leave a mark in history.
Except for Italy and Russia, which paid a little attention to this historical research that can leave a name, other countries are all focusing on the war in the Balkans.
In Adrianople, the Bulgarian-Greek coalition finally captured this important military town after twenty days of bloody fighting.
In order to seize this important military town, the Bulgarian-Greek coalition suffered 47,000 casualties, more than 2,000 missing, lost 271 artillery pieces, and consumed 500,000 rounds of various artillery shells, of which more than 20,000 large-caliber artillery shells played the most critical role. .
Since the Bulgarian-Greek coalition suffered such heavy casualties, it naturally also achieved considerable results.
In this decisive battle, the Ottomans suffered 68,000 casualties, 41,000 missing, and lost 674 artillery pieces (181 of which were captured by the coalition forces, especially those fortress artillery pieces. Some Ottoman officers and soldiers who were busy retreating did not even have time to destroy them. .)
Many of the missing Ottoman officers and soldiers were reinforcements from Asia, and their morale was not high. After suffering a major blow, they could easily be defeated without a trace.
Such heavy losses made the Ottoman military realize that there was no way to defend the vast area from Adrianople to Istanbul. Therefore, we have formulated a policy of continuous resistance, intending to slow down the edge of the Bulgarian-Greek coalition along the way and gain time to defend Istanbul.
Of course, in addition to resistance at home, seeking mediation from other countries has also become a top priority for the Ottomans. The Ottomans had a very deep understanding of Istanbul in their hands.
But no matter what, first Ottoman needs to block the coalition forces of Bulgaria and Greece.
The resistance that the Ottomans had high hopes for was a bit too much. Laqua was defeated by the Bulgarian-Greek coalition forces. Many towns in the Thrace region, such as Hafsa, Tekirdag, Sarai, Chollu, Markala, etc., fell into the hands of the coalition forces.
The Ottoman army retreated until near Istanbul before finally holding on. The reason was that the new army stationed in the capital finally participated in the battle. With their help, the Bulgarian-Greek coalition, which had been chasing all the way and leaving its heavy weapons behind, could only stop. Of course, they stopped and stopped, and the Bulgarian-Greek coalition began to clear away the scattered and defeated troops in the surrounding areas.
Faced with such a blatant dispatch of troops by the Bulgarian-Greek coalition, the Ottoman army could only suppress its anger in the bottom of its heart, because it was good to hold the capital's defense line for now, and rectifying the retreating defeated troops was the first priority to hold the capital.
At present, the European territories that the Ottomans can still control, except for the capital Istanbul, are only the Gallipoli Peninsula guarding the Dardanelles Strait. The peninsula is equipped with coastal defense artillery, and the small peninsula is not suitable for large-scale military deployment, so it is necessary to maintain The Greek coalition forces only have one division to guard the peninsula defenders, while the rest are preparing to head to Istanbul to seize this thousand-year-old holy land.
I won’t say much about the importance of Istanbul. This has always been Russia’s dream place. So when the Bulgarian-Greek coalition approached Istanbul, the Russians could not sit still. Its Foreign Minister Shachanov publicly stated that it is time to stop the war in the Balkans. This war has caused too many people to become homeless and displaced.
In private, Russia warned Bulgaria and Greece that if the fighting continued, Russia would send troops to intervene.
In addition to Russia, Germany and Austria also did not want the Ottomans to be too weakened. Germany's interests in the Ottomans are not small, and although Austria-Hungary does not have much interests in the Ottomans, its ambition is to expand in the Balkans. If Bulgaria and Greece gain too much benefit from the Ottomans, it will affect Austria-Hungary's expansion.
Especially the current Bulgaria, although its population and economic strength are weaker than Romania, its strong combat effectiveness in the war makes Austria-Hungary most afraid of it, and it is even less willing to continue its expansion.
On the British and French side, although they do not have many interests in the Balkans, they consider that if other major powers intervene, things may become uncontrollable, and they also demand armistice negotiations.
As for Italy, although its interests in the Balkans are not small, it also does not want a powerful country to appear in the region.
Thanks to King Carlo's clear understanding, it is better for Italy to have less involvement in the powder keg of the Balkans. Therefore, Italy, which has the best geographical location, also supports the armistice in the Balkans.
Since all the major powers have issued calls for an armistice, Bulgaria and Greece, which have the absolute advantage, naturally cannot withstand it. Regardless of their current advantage, if they really disobey Istanbul and attack Istanbul, then the major powers will have countless ways to let the two countries know how powerful they are.
Knowing how powerful they were, Bulgaria and Greece could only agree to a ceasefire. Even though they are eager to see through Istanbul, the situation is so pressing that there is nothing they can do about it!
Paoshi agreed to armistice negotiations, and Osman, as the disadvantaged party, had no reason not to agree. Although they blocked the Bulgarian-Greek coalition in the suburbs, their family members knew about their own affairs. The Ottomans suffered too much in this war and a large number of combat-effective troops were annihilated, which greatly weakened the Ottoman army's vitality.
Although a batch of weapons and equipment were obtained from Germany and Austria, people can become an army not only with weapons, but also need time to train. In addition, the officers leading the team also need time to train, so Osman is naturally very willing to negotiate armistice.
Since we want to talk, we naturally need to choose a place to talk. After some discussions, London became the location agreed upon by the warring nations. So the three countries each sent a delegation and rushed to London.
Of course, since the major powers want to mediate this war, it is inevitable to watch the negotiations between the three countries.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
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 a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
