After the military meeting, Operation Jiaolong began to be in full swing. Xia Zi stayed in Hangzhou for eight days when she received an order from the Pacific Fleet Command to report to the hospital ship at the Shanghai Naval Harbor. Dai Hui also ended his vacation early and turned back to Mawei Military Port. As for Wan'er coming to Hangzhou to meet her in-laws, there is no need to repeat it. Dai Hui and Xia Zi broke up at Hangzhou Station, Xia Zi boarded the train to the north, and Dai Hui boarded the train to the south.

Natsuko didn't know what the action was, but she was definitely going to fight, and she was extremely excited to be able to participate in the battle in person. Natsuko got off the train at Shanghai Railway Station and was sent directly to the dock, and her original wish to visit her aunt and sister could not be realized. A dock, named the Ankang, is quietly moored there, the battleship is all white, the huge red cross on the side of the middle cockpit is particularly eye-catching, this hospital ship looks very much like a passenger ship, with four floors below the deck and six floors above the deck.

The hospital ship is 22 meters wide and 88 meters long, with a displacement of 2,150 tons. The ship's medical facilities are complete, with two steam turbines and an effective range of 10,000 kilometers. In addition to the engineer crew, the captain and other relevant personnel on the ship, the medical staff far exceeded the engineer crew. With about 120 engineers and 260 medical personnel, it is a floating maritime hospital. The ship's medical staff are all excellent recruits from all over the country. Especially the nurses on the ship, all of them are beautiful and beautiful.

Natsuko arrived at the dock and couldn't help but get excited when she saw the beautiful medical ship. "Natsuko, Natsuko!" A familiar shout came from behind him. Xia Zi looked behind him and found that Deng Lan had jumped out of the caravan. Gleefully ran over. "Deng Lan, you're here too! So we're together again! "The two girlfriends hugged each other and jumped and jumped." Deng Lan, Yan'er is newly married. The Admiralty shouldn't have let you come! "Xia Zidao." If I don't come and see you, is there going to be a war, look how beautiful this hospital ship is. ”

"Wait a while, let's go on the ship to see if we're in a hurry, tell me about your situation, your mother-in-law is not difficult for you!" "Natsuko, don't mention it. Zheng Haitao has 8 brothers and sisters, and he is the eldest. There are 4 younger brothers and 3 younger sisters, and the family is not wealthy. In the future, we will both be sinned, and you will see if I have died in the past few days. His family is very difficult, and we will have to subsidize the family in the future, and we didn't expect to live a tight life after getting married. "I see. Looks like your mother-in-law is going to give you up. ”

Deng Lan said depressedly: "Mother-in-law is not embarrassed for me. But asking us to pay for our younger siblings is a lot of money. His father was a private school teacher, and he was not in good health, so I was married to a poor man. "Why do you regret it?" "I regret it, I just can't explain it to my mother, and I will take money from my mother's house to supplement his family in the future." "Yes, although your husband has a high salary, he supports seven sisters to go to school. It's also a lot of money, so how much money do you need for you? We are best friends and sisters. Your difficulties are my difficulties. ”

Deng Lan smiled: "I know you are a rich man, but Haitao will not agree if he knows it." "Deng Lan, you don't have to tell him, we are sisters. To tell you the truth, I'm a rich man, and I can't spend the pocket money my mother gives me every year, even if I do good deeds. Deng Lan was surprised: "We have been studying in the capital for 4 years, and you have been living in the school, so your family is really rich, why didn't I see it?" ”

Xia Zi said with a smile: "Our family can no longer be compared to wealth, you can accept my help, I donate hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to charity every year, and I haven't told you." Deng Lan exclaimed, "What the hell are your parents doing?" Xia Zi said slyly: "I can't tell you this, so don't ask." If you don't accept my help, I'll send the money directly to your in-laws anonymously. Deng Lan was moved: "Xia Zi, you are really my good sister, I promise you." ”

Xia Zi fumbled in his bag for a while and said, "This is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, which was originally intended for the Dai family, but seeing that his family was not short of money, I dispelled the idea." You send the money to your in-laws, so that Haitao can fight wholeheartedly, so that he will not be troubled. After Xia Zi finished speaking, she suddenly had a new idea, and she was ready to help more people. The two sisters joined hands and happily boarded the battleship. A captain about 40 years old on the deck greeted him and said, "May I ask the two young ladies, that one is Deng Xia." ”

"Mr. Captain, my name is Deng Xia, and this one is Deng Lan!" After Xia Zi finished speaking, he took the initiative to reach out his hand. The captain said worriedly: "Miss Natsuko, if you have any requests, just say it, and I will meet you." "Isn't Commander He taking care of you?" "Yes, Commander He specially ordered me to take care of you." "Commander He is simply unreasonable, why should he point fingers. Mr. Captain, I don't need special care like a normal paramedics. In the future, if Commander He asks, you will say what I said. ”

The captain was shocked when he heard this, this beautiful young lady actually did not take the commander in his eyes, and it seemed that he had an extraordinary background. The captain immediately put on a smile and said, "Miss Natsuko, please rest assured, I will respect your wishes." Miss Natsuko, your bedroom is a single room on the 2nd floor of the deck, Zone 1. "A paramedic is a room for several people." "6 people in a room." "In this way, it is not difficult for me to let Deng Lan live with me for you." "Yes, I'll adjust it right away and ask Miss Xia to go to the bedroom."

The recruited medical staff had already stepped on the ship, and the people in the corridor looked at Xia Zi and Deng Lan curiously. Walking into the bedroom to check that Xia Zi was very satisfied, the captain explained that he was leaving, Xia Zi called the captain and said: "Mr. Captain, our medical staff are all from all over the motherland, and their family backgrounds are different. I want to set up a family relief foundation, this foundation is completely funded by me, you go to open an account, I put in 500,000 silver dollars. The captain was a little stupid when he heard this, it seems that this beautiful young lady is not only very rich, but also a rich party, it seems that he will have to be extra careful in the future.

Xia Zi's series of actions made Deng Lan seem to be unrecognizable, and after the captain left, Deng Lan was surprised: "Xia Zi, what is your relationship with Commander He, you actually don't take him seriously." Xia Zi hesitated for a moment and said, "Deng Lan, don't hide it, Mrs. He is my cousin." Now you're satisfied! "No wonder that, I see." "What do you know, you must keep it secret!" "Don't worry, my princess. Subordinate Order! The two sisters immediately formed a group.

With a loud whistle, the Ankang medical ship slowly sailed away from the dock, and the medical staff in beautiful naval uniforms ran to the foredeck. Many people are going to sea for the first time, and they are naturally very excited. Xia Zi and Deng Lan also went to sea for the first time, so they naturally came to the deck. The blue sea swooped in on you, and a large number of seagulls flew up and down the hospital ship. It seems to be seeing off. The hospital ship is going to cross the Taiwan Strait, and the destination is the port of Kaohsiung.

In early October, Dai Hui and Zheng Haitao piloted the battleships Beijing and Harbin. Arrive at Kaohsiung Port. At the Kaohsiung Port Naval Base, Fan Tao personally presided over a military meeting. Fan Tao glanced at the extremely excited generals present and said: "This large-scale military operation at sea, codenamed Operation Jiaolong, is the first time that the Imperial Navy has taken the initiative to attack. A large-scale naval battle broke out with the coalition fleet. Headquarters has high hopes for us. Whether or not we can achieve brilliant results, every general and officer present here shoulders a sacred mission. ”

"Now I issue the order of the headquarters, Deng Shichang and Guo Shiqi!" "Here!" The two of them stood up, "You two will lead the battleship Shanghai, the battleship Rising." And two destroyers, 10 frigates, 6 gunboats, two supply ships. Form a decoy fleet. Your mission is to cruise in the waters near Scarborough Shoal. Attract the coalition fleet and ensure that our main fleet encircles and annihilates the battle. "Yes, my subordinates!" Deng Shichang, Guo Shiqi replied loudly.

"Dai Hui!" "Here!" "According to the research of the fleet command, you will be the commander of the task force and lead the main fleet to ambush in the waters of Hainan Island to ensure the encirclement and annihilation of the Philippine detachment." "Yes, mission guaranteed!" The operational meeting was not long and ended quickly. After the personnel dispersed, Dai Hui said worriedly: "Commander, you should go out in person." He Meng said with a smile: "My task is also very heavy, at that time, my battleship Zhonghua, the battleship Shenzhou, will confuse the enemy in Keelung Harbor, the purpose is to make the enemy miscalculate." In addition, you already have the ability to command fleet battles, and you have more experience in naval warfare than me, so don't worry about doing it boldly! ”

Dai Hui walked out of the headquarters and saw Zheng Haitao and Wen Biao waiting outside. "What are you two doing here without kicking the ship?" "What's the matter, man, start calling the shots now, and look at the style of the fleet commander!" Zheng Haitao teased. "Report to the commander, your subordinates are so polite!" Wen Biao made a squat salute funny. "Okay, you two don't make trouble, I'm a duck on the shelf, do you know how much pressure there is in my heart, and I still have the heart to joke!"

"The headquarters is so correct that the commander of the Navy cannot be asked to go out in person every time he goes out. The commander is the commander behind the scenes, and it is our duty to charge into battle. Zheng Haitao said with a serious expression. Wen Biao continued: "You have to have confidence in yourself, we believe in you!" Dai Hui sighed and said: "With your support, I will do my best, if there is a fault, you must point it out in time, don't be polite because I am the commander." But there is one thing that once a military order is issued, if it is carried out to the letter, I will not tolerate you two because I am my friends. ”

"Now the six relatives don't recognize it, Wen Biao is the commander's quasi-brother-in-law, you go one step further in terms of relationship, it looks like I'm going to be unlucky!" Zheng Haitao continued to tease. "You kid uses me as a shield, if I make a mistake, do you think he will let me go and dream!" "I said if you two are jealous, or I'll go to the commander and let you two be fleet commanders."

"Look at your urgency, we're kidding!" Wen Biao said with a smile. Dai Hui suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, I was about to ask you, I heard that you and my cousin have reached the point of talking about marriage, and this speed is too fast, did you take my cousin that." "Brother Dai, don't forget that you and I are soldiers, and a quick victory is our advantage. A big beauty is in her arms, do you say you can hold it? I'm not a vist, I'm a passionate and responsible man! ”

"Just blow it! The mind is full of filth, and there are still words. In the future, if you are sorry for my cousin, see how I clean you up! Dai Hui had a tiger face. Okay, don't arrange me, I heard that you are also holding a beauty, and you are a fairy-like beauty, how do you feel, let's have an exchange. "Wen Biao counterattacked." The things of men and women are wonderful, it's better not to say it, and it has a unique charm if you tacit itly. "Zheng Haitao hits haha!

Dai Hui said with a smile: "Yan'er is newly married, you kid can hold on." Fortunately, it is close to the water, so you kneel down and beg this commander, I will give you special permission to secretly have a tryst on the ship. "Brother Wen, this kid is a drunkard, he doesn't mean to drink, he is foreshadowing himself." Zheng Haitao fought back. "Alright, alright, let's get down to business, the fleet will go out soon, I want to get acquainted with everyone, and we'll have a meeting in the afternoon." Dai Hui exercised the power of commander. (To be continued......)
