When his wife went in for an examination, Tan Renhao found a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"You didn't ask your own family?"

"Doctor, I only rushed back yesterday, and you know, how can I have so much energy in the current situation on the front line?" Tan Renhao pulled the doctor aside, "Is it a boy or a girl?" ”

"This ......"

"I just want to know if it's a son or a daughter, maybe I'm going to sea in a few days, and ......"

"General, I know, in fact, ......" the doctor glanced at Tan Renhao very understandingly, "Actually, we can't be sure, now it seems that the boy's possibility should be a little bigger, but before the child is born, we can't be sure." ”

"I know, the due date is the 27th?"

"Yes, we recommend coming to the hospital ten days in advance so that we can make all the preparations." The doctor hesitated for a moment, "General Tan, you don't have to worry at all, the fetal position is normal, and the development of the fetus is also normal." The marshal called us more than a month ago and asked us to take care of Dr. Liao, don't worry, we have a lot of people preparing for this now. ”

"A call from the marshal?" At this time, Tan Renhao was also very surprised.

"You don't know? By the way, the marshal seems to have gone to the capital, and a few days ago, we arranged for a few doctors to go over. ”

"I know, I'll trouble you." Tan Renhao is also very grateful in his heart, maybe this can be regarded as a public and private matter, but he can take care of the families of the front-line soldiers, which can be regarded as a good way to improve morale and boost morale.

"Then I'll go take a look first, and you can sit outside for a while. It was checked out quickly. ”

Tan Renhao didn't stop the doctor again, and he was also very happy, if it was a son.

So what should you call it? Maybe the headmaster had already helped him think of a name. When the principal returns, be sure to ask the principal what name he gave the child. It's certainly an unusual name.

After only two minutes of sitting, a nurse came running briskly. "General Tan, I have your phone."

"My phone?" Tan Renhao immediately stood up.

"Yes, hit the nurse's station."

"Who called?" Tan Renhao followed the nurse towards the nurse's station.

"I don't know, just that it's urgent. It seems that the headquarters called. ”

Tan Renhao frowned slightly, and didn't ask anything more. When he arrived at the nurse's station, he stepped aside with a telephone microphone. Sure enough, it was a call from the Navy Command, and it was Gan Yongxing.

"Okay, I know, I'll be here in half an hour." Tan Renhao let out a sigh after putting down the phone, this Gan Yongxing really had a way, and he actually called the hospital.

When Tan Renhao went outside the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, his wife also walked out.

"Everything is normal, and it is still prescribed as before. Those few medicines should be taken ......"

"Medicine, what medicine?" Tan Renhao immediately asked.

"Renhao, it's nothing. It is a fetal medicine. Liao Yingyu hurriedly answered.

The doctor hesitated, then nodded.

Tan Renhao immediately found out that the doctor and his wife's appearance were wrong, but he didn't rush to say it.

"Let's go back, we're done."

Tan Renhao accompanied his wife outside the hospital. I told my wife that he was going to the headquarters.

"You want to go now?"

"yes, it seems like a very important thing." Tan Renhao stopped beside the car, "You go back first, I'll rush back as soon as I finish running errands at the headquarters." ”

"Okay, you come back early, and if you can't come back for dinner, remember to call back." Liao Yingyu glanced at her husband, and then got into the car.

Tan Renhao kept seeing the car drive out of the hospital and disappear into the wall, so he turned back to the hospital and went directly to the doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"General Tan, you're too careful, it's just some medicine to stabilize the fetus......"

"You think I can't see it?" Tan Renhao didn't wait for the doctor to finish, "Let's go straight, why do you want to prescribe medicine to my wife?" ”

"This ......," the doctor looked embarrassed.

"If you don't want to say it, I'll go and apply for an investigation now!" Tan Renhao's attitude immediately hardened.

"General, actually, ......" the doctor sighed, "Dr. Liao's body is a little weak, so he ...... in order for the fetus to be able to give birth smoothly."

"In other words, there is a possibility that you will not be able to have a smooth delivery?"

The doctor nodded. "General Tan, we are ready in all aspects, you don't have to worry, we ......"

"Can I not be worried?" Tan Renhao raised his voice, and he immediately realized that he was a little out of shape, "What is the specific situation, and what is the worst outcome?" ”

"It's uncertain yet, but maybe a caesarean section will be performed, and several of our doctors are working to make sure the baby is born."

"I told you, first of all, you should ensure the safety of my wife, no matter what method you use, you must ensure the safety of mother and child, understand?"

The doctor nodded, and he could see that Tan Renhao was already very angry.

"I'll come back tomorrow, I'm not messing around, I just hope there won't be any accidents." Tan Renhao restrained his emotions, and he also knew that these doctors were very responsible.

"General Tan, we'll keep in touch with you."

"Then I won't bother you, I'll call you tomorrow!"

On the way to the headquarters, Tan Renhao was always uneasy. His wife's body has always been relatively weak, and Tan Renhao has known it for a long time, but he didn't expect that this would affect the fetus. What made Tan Renhao even more unacceptable was that he didn't know about this until now, but the problem was that when he was on the front line, no one would tell him the news.

When he arrived at the Navy Headquarters, Gan Yongxing's adjutant was waiting outside the building and directly took Tan Renhao to Gan Yongxing's office.

How's Xiaoyu doing? Gan Yongxing had already prepared tea for Tan Renhao.

"Fortunately, the doctor said that her body is a little weak and may not be able to have a smooth delivery."

"Can't have a smooth delivery?"

Tan Renhao nodded. It's a bit of a distraction.

"I'll call the hospital." Gan Yongxing said as he walked towards the desk, "Let them arrange for all obstetricians and gynecologists to be in charge of this matter." Can't ......"

"Chief of Staff, no need. I've already said hello to the doctor. Tan Renhao stopped Gan Yongxing, "They will do their best, and this should be a small problem, maybe there will be a caesarean section in the end, as long as the mother and child are safe." ”

Gan Yongxing hesitated. Then put down the phone. "Last night, you arranged a plane to Yancheng?"

Tan Renhao looked at Gan Yongxing. "Yes, I asked the adjutant to go to Yancheng to do something."

"Important?" Gan Yongxing sat down.

"I was in a hurry, it was too late, so I didn't contact you, and I was going to send the official application over today. If ......"

"It's okay, I just know it, I've sent someone to send the application documents over." Gan Yongxing took out a cigarette, "Is there something going on in your adjutant's house?" ”

Tan Renhao smiled bitterly, it seems that Gan Yongxing has investigated the situation clearly. He could only nod his head in acknowledgement.

"Actually, it's not easy for you." Gan Yongxing laughed, "I can understand all this." However, it is better not to make an example, after all, it is not possible for everyone to enjoy the privileges, and.

He was also just an adjutant. ”

"Chief of Staff, I know, actually ......"

"Even if this matter is over, there is no need to mention it again." Gan Yongxing is helping Tan Renhao wipe his ass.

"Originally, I didn't want to call you here, but there is one thing you should know."

"What's the matter?" Tan Renhao immediately looked at Gan Yongxing.

"I just received the news that Yan Guozhong's marines have landed in the New Hebrides and completed the operation to capture the first island."

Tan Renhao hesitated for a moment, and then reacted.

"You didn't look at those things that were given to you yesterday?"

"No, I haven't had time yet, and after I went back yesterday, I didn't deal with a lot of things at home." Tan Renhao touched his forehead, "This is good news, it seems that General Yan Guozhong and they fought very well." ”

"Yan Guozhong and they captured Port Moresby on 18 September, captured more than 20,000 American troops, and are now stepping up the repair of Port Moresby, and are preparing to use it as the home port of the Fourth Task Force in the future." Gan Yongxing gave a general introduction to the situation, "The combat operation was not very smooth, the attack on the New Hebrides only began at the end of last month, but to my surprise, they landed on St. Mary's Island in less than ten days. ”

"Santa Maria?" Tan Renhao furrowed his eyebrows, "Not Espírito Santo?" ”

"Originally, it was planned to attack Espírito Santo, but later it was found that the U.S. military focused on defending the island, so Yan Guozhong decided to attack Santa Maria Island instead, and then use the island as a base to attack Espírito Santo, maybe this is a little troublesome, but it is much easier than taking Maquila Island as a starting point and directly attacking Espírito Santo, and moreover, it didn't take much time for them to attack Santa Maria Island, which was completely within the planned mission period."

"So, Yan Guozhong's next plan is to attack Espírito Santo?"

Gan Yongxing nodded. "Now there is a problem, Huang Xiaotian's Fourth Task Force has been operating continuously for more than three months, especially from the end of July to the present, most of the time has been carrying out high-intensity combat missions. The home port of Task Force 4 is in Guangzhou, and there has been no suitable port for warships to be repaired in the southwest Pacific. The repair of the infrastructure of Moresby Harbor will be at least early next year, and in the meantime, Task Force 4 will definitely have to carry out a major overhaul, otherwise the performance of the warships will definitely be seriously reduced, and this will even affect the safety of the officers and men. In addition, the U.S. Navy is likely to be partially regained early next year, so we need to find a way to give Task Force 4 a chance to recuperate before the beginning of next year. ”

"The problem is, we don't have a fleet to replace Task Force 4 right now. The battleships of the 3rd Task Force were repaired? ”

"No, the repair work will continue until the beginning of next month." Gan Yongxing shook his head, "Moreover, if the Marine Corps wants to continue to advance in the New Hebrides, it cannot do without the support of fleet aviation. Even if the 3rd Task Force is restored, it will not be possible to take the place of the 4th Task Force. ”

"What do you mean?" Tan Renhao didn't continue to go around in circles.

"Now, we are considering either sending the second task force over, or letting the fourth task force hold out until the end of the year, and ......" Gan Yongxing hesitated, "The second task force has only one aircraft carrier, and its combat effectiveness is quite limited, and many officers and men are newly recruited, so if you want the second task force to replace the fourth task force, you have to strengthen your strength, at least add one aircraft carrier, and arrange for some veterans to go over." ”

"Draw troops from Task Force 1?" Tan Renhao asked directly.

"This is just our general idea, and the aircraft carrier of Task Force 1 will not be repaired until a month at the earliest."

Gan Yongxing laughed, "Now, Huang Xiaotian and they will continue to hold on there, if it goes well, in a month, we will replace the fourth task force with the second task force, so we need to strengthen the strength of the second task force." ”

Tan Renhao also laughed. "Chief of Staff, you don't need to ask me about this, Task Force 1 is the fleet of the Imperial Navy, not my fleet alone. The first to repair should be the 'Xingkaihu' aircraft carrier, and it is not bad to assign this aircraft carrier and supporting warships to the second task force, and let it be Hao Dongjue's flagship. ”

"Since you think it's okay, then I'll arrange it like this." Gan Yongxing can be regarded as having solved a problem, "By the way, the principal called back in the morning, and he will be back in a few days." ”

"So fast?"

"I heard from the principal that the meeting went well, but there are definitely a lot of problems that we need to solve. Spend more time at home, and when the headmaster returns, I'm afraid you won't have much free time. Gan Yongxing stood up, "Also, I have already communicated a telegram with Hao Dongjue, now those warships of yours will arrive at Apra Harbor the day after tomorrow, he will hand over the fleet to Wei Dongbei to command, and in a few days, he will also rush back, and when the time comes, the principal will confer the title on him, and officially confirm him as the new fleet commander." You'll also want to find time to talk to him and confirm the new chief of staff of the fleet. ”

"Then what about Zheng Guanhua?" Tan Renhao also stood up.

"This, it depends on your decision, and when the time comes, you can bring it up to the principal."

Tan Renhao nodded, understanding what the chief of staff meant.

"Alright, I won't waste your precious time. Before Hao Dongjue comes back, I will call you, and when the time comes, you will pick him up. Gan Yongxing half-talked about Renhao and sent it to the door, "You all have a good rest these days, I will stabilize the principal first, and I won't come to trouble you if it's okay." ”

"Thank you, Chief of Staff!"

Tan Renhao was relieved when he left the headquarters, he didn't believe that Gan Yongxing would give him a holiday, maybe he would let him report back to the headquarters tomorrow!
