Chapter 64 News about Dongtu

"The next thing is next," said Mrs. Stubbs, drawing a blank sheet of paper from a briefcase.

【Not pulling out a loaf of bread...】 Di Renjie looked at Mrs. Stubbs's actions in surprise. For some reason, Di Renjie felt a little uncomfortable when the old lady's behavior became normal.

"According to the news from Alfredo, the headquarters of the association in the early morning of January 1, after several days of research and judgment, the Sage Conference issued a notice to all association members around the world: downgrade the overall safety rating of the British Isles from S to Very Safe. A is relatively safe;

downgraded the safety rating of the London metropolitan area from A to B basic safety;

It is dangerous to downgrade the security rating of the entire Russian Empire from B to C;

It is dangerous to adjust the security rating of the entire Ottoman Empire to C;

downgrade to D very dangerous for all regions in the eastern and northern Balkans and up to the Black Sea coast;

In addition, an early warning was issued for the conflict between Britain and Russia and the conflict between Russia and Turkey, and members who are in potential frontline areas in the near future are asked to prepare for safety or evacuate immediately. "

Although they were all extremely serious matters, Mrs. Stubbs' tone was very calm, as if none of these things could cause her any emotional fluctuations.

"Are the Russians going south to Ottoman again?" Richard frowned.

"I read the newspaper in the morning, saying that Tsar Alexander II deliberately tore up the last peace treaty." Patrick said uncertainly. After all, he was a young man and was not very interested in these political affairs.

"Before sending spies to infiltrate London many times, and now they are working hard to prepare for the war. Are they really not worried that they will be the target of public criticism?" Joseph also participated in the discussion.

"As long as the safety of the Suez Canal can be guaranteed, I don't care who wins between the Russians and the Ottomans." Richard's research focuses on India, so the safety of the Suez Canal's waterway is very important to him.

In fact, the Suez Canal is the focus of conflict between the British and the Russians. The Russians want to go south to obtain a direct access to the Mediterranean Sea, instead of being locked in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea by the Black Sea Strait and the Kattegat Strait, and to open up the route from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. The channel is the goal pursued tirelessly by the tsars of all dynasties;

For the British, India is the most important source of raw materials and commodity dumping for the empire on which the sun never sets. Her Majesty Victoria relied on the title of emperor of India to ascend the throne, and the Suez Canal is the most important for the empire to safeguard the interests of India. Any changes that may pose a threat to the safety of Suez shipping are provoking the most sensitive nerves of the empire.

"This is obviously the problem. Whether the neighbors to the north of the Suez Canal are strong or weak determines whether Her Majesty the Queen and the cabinet ministers can get a good night's sleep." Angelina said sarcastically.

"Well, you can talk about these matters later, and I have one last announcement," interrupted Mrs. Stubbs, who always hated politics.
"Mr. Charles has applied for an unlimited vacation from the association, that is to say, from the beginning of this gathering until he finishes his own affairs, the gathering will be hosted by me; of course I also know that many of you have research I want to ask Mr. Charles about the problem, so I specially invited His Excellency Thomas as a special guest to participate in our next gathering, which will be at noon ten days later, and the place will still be here."

Hearing this sentence, everyone's expressions showed some joy, and the most obvious expression change was Mr. Richard.

The field he studies is similar to that of Mr. Charles and Sir Thomas, and it is of great significance to him to be able to get advice from seniors in the same field.

Originally, I heard that Mr. Charles would not be able to attend the party in the future, and he already planned not to participate in the party in the near future to concentrate on his own research, but he did not expect a sudden turn of events.

"There are so many notices that need to be announced. Now let's go directly to the free exchange session. I think you are not interested in the topic of how to make fancy bread." Mrs. Stubbs obviously knows everyone very well, so she doesn't intend to waste Everyone skipped the second process, but she finally said to Di Renjie alone:
"In addition, Mr. Watson, if you have any questions about the supernatural, you can consult me ​​alone."

"Thank you very much," Di Renjie said politely.

However, because he has just completed the advanced stage, and under the introduction of Angelina before, he has a general idea of ​​the second stage of cultivation, so there is no question to consult for the time being.

"Then according to the usual practice, let me start first," after Mrs. Stubbs finished speaking, Richard sat on the sofa and said:

"First of all, please continue to ask everyone to help pay attention to paleontological fossils and various cultural relics with biological patterns from the Far East, Southeast Asia, and northwestern North America."

Far East, Southeast Asia, Northwest North America... These place names immediately aroused Di Renjie's curiosity. According to his predecessor Watson's memories of India and Afghanistan, he can roughly deduce that India is the location of Tianzhu in his previous life, but the Indian states that were divided in those days are now controlled by the British, and instead they are born. a whole India.

But generally speaking, through various clues, Di Renjie still made a judgment like this: [This world was almost exactly the same as the world he lived in in his previous life hundreds of years ago, but there are only two differences. One is In the previous life, there was no extraordinary present world, and the second is that there is no Eastern Land in this life. 】

According to Di Renjie's deduction, in this world, theoretically, it should belong to Dongtu, but right now it is a vast ocean, known as the sea of ​​mist.

At this moment, the three regions mentioned by Richard have a common feature, that is, these regions are all distributed around the sea of ​​mist.

It is distributed around the location that should belong to Dongtu.

Could this be a coincidence?

Di Renjie felt that things might not be that simple.
