Remember [New] for a second,! Not to mention the unsolved mystery of the Tunguska explosion, which is now nothing but an unknown natural phenomenon. For governments of various countries, it can neither be eaten nor watched, and it is not worthy of attention at all.

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

This medium-sized airship called Hongyan has a carrying capacity of only 15 tons, but it is enough to rush 17 scientific expedition members and their equipment to Russia directly from the air, and a few Russian scientists can go all the way directly. Omsk, here will become the departure station of the scientific expedition team, and the next is the direct flight to Tunguska.

The whole process of airship transfer, this scientific expedition team can be regarded as an unusual luxury, and this alone is enough to leave a name in history.

Except for Italy and Russia, all other countries have their eyes fixed on the war in the Balkans.

In Adrianople, after 20 days of **** fighting, the Baoxi coalition finally captured this military town.

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

The Baoxi coalition forces suffered so many casualties, and naturally they also gained a lot of victories.

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, and some Ottoman officers and soldiers who were busy retreating did not even have time to destroy them. .)

And those missing Ottoman officers and soldiers, many of them reinforcements from Asia, their morale is not high, after suffering a major blow, it is easy to be defeated without a trace.

The loss was so great that the Ottoman military realized that there was no way to defend the vast area from Adrianople to Istanbul. Therefore, a policy of resistance has been formulated, and it is planned to slow down the edge of the Baoxi coalition along the way, so as to win the time for the defense of Istanbul.

Of course, in addition to their own resistance, seeking mediation from other countries has also become a top priority for Ottoman. The Ottomans have a very deep understanding of Istanbul in their own hands.

But no matter what, first of all, the Ottomans need to block the coalition forces of the two countries.

It was resisted by the Ottomans with high hopes, and it was a little too much to be defeated by the Baoxi coalition forces. Many towns in the Thracian region, such as Hafsa, Tekirdag, Sarai, Qorlu, and Markala, 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 Baoxi coalition forces, who were chasing after the heavy weapons behind, could only stop. Of course, it stopped and stopped, and the Baoxi coalition began to clear the scattered and defeated soldiers around.

Faced with such a blatant dispatch of troops from the Baoxi coalition, the Ottoman army could only hold their anger deep in their hearts, because it would be good to be able to defend the capital's defense line at present, and rectifying the retreating defeated soldiers was the first priority of defending the capital.

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

Not to mention the importance of Istanbul, which has always been a dream place for Russia. So the Russians couldn't sit still when the Coalition forces approached Istanbul. Its Foreign Minister Shachanov publicly stated that when the war in the Balkans came to an end, the war had already caused too many people to be homeless and displaced.

In private, Russia warned the two countries that if the fight continued, Russia would send troops to intervene.

In addition to Russia, Germany and Austria also did not want the Ottomans to be weakened too much. Germany has a lot of interests in the Ottomans, while Austria-Hungary has little interest in the Ottomans, but its ambition is to expand in the Balkans. And if the two countries get too many benefits from the Ottomans, it will affect the expansion of Austria-Hungary.

Especially the current Bulgaria, although its population and economic strength are weaker than Romania, its strong combat effectiveness in the war makes Austria-Hungary the most fearful, and even more unwilling to continue its expansion.

On the British and French side, although they have little interest in the Balkans, they consider that if other major powers intervene, then things may become uncontrollable, and they also demand an armistice negotiation.

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 be less involved in the powder keg of the Balkans~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Therefore, Italy, which has the best geographical location, also supports the truce in the Balkans.

Since all the powers have spoken out to call for a truce, then the two countries of Baoxi, who have an absolute advantage, can't stand it. Regardless of their current situation, if they are really disobedient and attack Istanbul, then the powers of various countries will have countless means to let the two countries know how powerful they are.

Knowing that they have some strength, the two countries of Baoxi can only agree to a truce. Even if they are eager to see Istanbul, but the situation is compelling!

Baoxi agreed to the armistice negotiations, but Osman, who was the disadvantaged party, had no reason to disagree. Although the Baoxi coalition was blocked on the outskirts, but his family knew about his own affairs, the Ottomans lost too much in this war and a large number of combat troops were annihilated, which greatly damaged the strength of the Ottoman army.

Although a batch of weapons and equipment was obtained from Deo, people can become an army not only with weapons, but also need time to train. In addition, the officers who lead the team also need time to train, so Osman is naturally very willing to negotiate a truce.

Since we want to talk, we naturally need to choose a place to talk. After some deliberation, London became the location agreed upon by the warring nations. So the three countries each sent a delegation to London.

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