Chapter Eighty-One: Welcome to New Life

When Huang Shiying's due date was still three months away, Zhang Jiasen received an invitation to go to the United States to attend the Pacific Society conference, accompanied by many well-known scholars in China, he was a little hesitant, his wife gave birth at an advanced age, he naturally wanted to be by his side, but this meeting was very important.

Huang Shiying naturally knew that although the Pacific Society conference was an academic conference at this time, the remarks of the representatives of various countries already represented semi-official views, not to mention that the theme of this conference was "How to Deal with Postwar Japan". persuaded her husband to go to the meeting with confidence, "You can't help with giving birth, so let's go to the meeting with peace of mind." ”

Zhang Jiasen entrusted his wife to his younger brothers and sisters, reluctantly said goodbye, and embarked on the road to the United States.

Shen Mengxi simply moved to Zhang Jiaxuan's house, lived with Huang Shiying, and hired an extra nanny to take care of her in advance.

The daily diet is reasonable, the nutrition is balanced, and she takes her for a walk near her residence in the evening, controls her weight, and lets their nine-year-old fourth sing and read as prenatal education.

Huang Shiying is very grateful for her sister-in-law's thoughtfulness, although she also misses her husband in the United States and her eldest son who is studying in Kunming, she still tries to keep her mood happy every day and avoid causing trouble to her family.

In the last month, Huang Shiying's blood pressure was a little unstable, but everything was normal overall, and the fetus was not big. I don't know why, Shen Mengxi's heart is always hairy, there are still three days before the due date, Shen Mengxi sent Huang Shiying to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Central Hospital for hospitalization, she was afraid of a temporary situation like Lin Huiya.

Sure enough, the day after being hospitalized, Huang Shiying began to have abdominal pain and low back pain, and her second daughter Zhang Chunhe, who accompanied her, looked at the blood flowing from her mother's trouser leg, and was quite calm, and immediately ran to call the nurse, and the 15-year-old girl saw her aunt who rushed over, and immediately grabbed her hand, her fingertips were cold and trembling slightly.

"Don't panic, Ah He did a very good job, and called for medical care as soon as possible." Shen Mengxi touched his niece's head and said softly.

Huang Shiying was sent to the delivery room, but there was no sound for a long time, not even Huang Shiying's moaning.

The doctor pushed the door out and said to Shen Mengxi anxiously that the fetal heart rate was not good, the fetus was in distress, and the maternal condition was not good, and it was suspected that it was a premature placental detachment. Shen Mengxi was shocked and asked to enter the delivery room to accompany the delivery, the doctor was familiar with Shen Mengxi, and after thinking about it, he agreed, Shen Mengxi changed into white clothes, and let Chunhe wait outside the delivery room with peace of mind, and don't go anywhere.

The girl's face turned pale instantly, but she still nodded strongly.

The father and brother are not around, and the mother is in danger. Girls often grow up in an instant.

Huang Shiying's condition was not good, her face was pale, she was sweating profusely, and sometimes she was nauseous and vomiting, she had already heard the doctor's words, and said to Shen Mengxi, "Seventh sister, you must, keep the child." ”

Shen Mengxi ignored her and said to the doctor, "Doctor Yang, big and small!" If there is danger, protect the adults! ”

"Seventh sister!" Huang Shiying was angry and shouted anxiously.

"If you want to protect the child, you have to hold on to it yourself!" Shen Mengxi said coldly.

Huang Shiying burst into tears and trembled.

After monitoring the fetal heartbeat again, Shen Mengxi decisively decided, "Doctor Yang! The uterine opening is not fully opened, the fetal heart rate is really bad, so let's have a cesarean section immediately! ”

Dr. Yang was a little hesitant, she delivered countless births, but it was only in the last few years that she actually started to have a caesarean section, and she had not performed many surgeries in total. Seeing her hesitation, Shen Mengxi looked at Huang Shiying again, "I'll be the main knife, and you cooperate." ”

Dr. Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "This, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Shen Mengxi was categorical, "I am a family member of the patient and a licensed physician, and I am fully responsible!" ”

Seeing this, Dr. Yang said, "Okay then. ”

"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm sure." Shen Mengxi shook Huang Shiying's hand and went to make preoperative preparations, and here Dr. Yang quickly found an anesthesiologist to anesthetize Huang Shiying.

Shen Mengxi took a knife in the lower abdomen, and Dr. Yang was stunned, how could it be a horizontal knife?

But she wisely didn't ask anything, and cooperated with Shen Mengxi indifferently throughout the whole process, from cutting the abdominal wall, cutting the uterus, to taking out the fetus, it was just more than ten minutes, she looked at the ten-centimeter knife incision, and finally didn't say anything.

Huang Shiying is placenta previa, and it fell off early, fortunately, she made a decision early and had a caesarean section in time, otherwise the lives of both mother and child would be in danger. Shen Mengxi cut the umbilical cord for his nephew with his own hands, and slapped it on his little buttocks, woo wow! The child cried loudly, with grievance and anger in his voice - it was good! Another new life has arrived!

Huang Shiying was awake the whole time, she could feel the cold scalpel cutting through the skin, and she could also feel the tearing of her son at the moment when he broke away from his mother's body, at that moment, she was extremely sad, and she felt that the lives of both mother and son had become uncontrollable.

When she heard her son's cry and saw her son's slightly purple face, she shed tears of excitement and distress.

Dr. Yang quickly cleaned the fetus, weighed it, and wrapped it. He also took the baby out and showed it to the family.

Shen Mengxi chatted with Huang Shiying while stitching up, "Tsk, the second brother will definitely blame me when he comes back, I sewed a centipede on his wife's stomach, what can I do." ”

Huang Shiying closed her eyes helplessly, and walked away from the ghost gate, there is no time to cherish life more than at this moment.

The whole operation process, plus the anesthesia time, was only more than 40 minutes, Zhang Chunhe took the well-wrapped brother from Dr. Yang's hands, and cried silently. Zhang Jiaxuan came sweating profusely, and when he saw the child, he laughed happily, "Okay, it's born!" Boys and girls! ”

Zhang Chunhe cried even more.

At the end of the operation, Shen Mengxi almost collapsed, she was really nervous, her second brother was far away in the United States, if Huang Shiying had a little difference, she would not be able to let go of it for the rest of her life. Fortunately, there was no danger, she said to Huang Shiying, "I'm too difficult!" ”

"Thank you, Jiayu." Huang Shiying said almost silently.

Beginning in June 1944, the United States, in line with the purpose of "minimizing the casualties of the US military", began to organize the B-29 Super Fortress bomber group to carry out large-scale bombing of the Japanese mainland, focusing on industrial areas and commercial areas.

Finally, it was Japan's turn to taste what it was like to be bombed.

The United States, which has deep pockets, has always made bold moves, always forming a fleet of hundreds of planes and bombing them in turn, dropping thousands of tons of bombs each time.

In February 1945, the U.S. military used large-scale incendiary bombs against Tokyo for the first time.

On the night of 9 March, the US military carried out Operation Fire Bull, sending 334 B-29 bombers from Guam to Tokyo in a two-hour carpet bombing process, dropping 2,000 tons of incendiary bombs, razing 40 square kilometers of central Tokyo to the ground, killing 90,000 people, injuring 100,000 burns, and leaving 1 million homeless.

This time the Japanese lost more than all previous bombings combined, and it took 25 days to clean up the charred corpses.

On the 10th, 317 B-29s bombed the Nagoya aircraft factory.

On the 13th, 300 U.S. planes dropped 1,700 tons of incendiary bombs on Osaka.

Since then, more than 10 cities, including Kobe and Yokohama, have been bombed.

In April, Roosevelt died of illness and was succeeded by Truman.

In April, May, and June, the United States continued its continuous bombing of Japan, and bombed it again.

On 25 May, the US military organized another 470 bombers to bomb Tokyo, destroying 220,000 buildings and killing tens of thousands. The wounds of the city, which had not yet healed, were again forcibly torn open.

There is hardly a single intact building in Japan's 65 cities.

Shen Mengxi looked at the newspaper report with an expressionless face.

It can only be said that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the pain inflicted on the Chinese people by Japan has finally been repaid in the same way!

At the end of April, Mussolini was executed, and Hitler committed suicide. The faction is disbanded. Germany surrendered in May.

In July, China, the United States, and Britain issued the Potsdam Proclamation, urging Japan to surrender. On the 28th, Japan openly refused to surrender and vowed that the military would carry out a "special attack on land" on its homeland and fight to the last man.

Although defeat was assured, the Japanese army still resisted frantically in Okinawa and other places, declaring that as soon as the first American set foot on Japanese soil, all Allied prisoners of war would be executed. In order to force the Japanese army to surrender as soon as possible and curb the expansion of the Soviet Union's influence in the Far East, the U.S. military decided to drop atomic bombs to speed up the course of the war.

On August 6, the U.S. military dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

Hiroshima is the capital of Japan's army, the headquarters of the Second General Army for the defense of Japan's homeland, and all the army forces that go to China, Korea, Southeast Asia, and the Nanyang Islands set sail from Hiroshima.

At 9:14, the atomic bomb fell from the B-29 bomber and exploded 600 meters above the center of Hiroshima, emitting a dazzling white flash, followed by a deafening explosion in the air, a huge mushroom cloud rose up, the sky was filled with strange blue light, and hundreds of purple pillars of fire ran straight through the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Hiroshima was instantly reduced to a sea of scorched earth and fire.

People and objects at the epicenter of the explosion fell apart like atoms, bright light blinded thousands of people, and radioactive rain tortured countless people for the next 20 years, slowly and painfully moving towards death. Nearly 90,000 people died directly in this explosion, but the living are far more painful than the dead.

What is eye-popping is that Japan still refuses to surrender unconditionally, claiming that a meteorite fell on Hiroshima City.

They still pinned their hopes on mediation with the Soviet Union and gambled that the US military would have only one atomic bomb.

On the 9th, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan.

At 11:30 a.m. on the same day, the U.S. military dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki.

On the 15th, the Emperor of Japan issued an edict announcing his surrender.

Even so, the Japanese executed a number of Allied prisoners of war.

What else can be said about such a nation.

They are strong, but one day, if you show the slightest fatigue and vulnerability, you will be killed by it.

Man, who has always treated others as his own, always feels that someone intends to invade his territory, and is good at robbing the country, no matter what you do, he feels that you are coveting his possessions.

People who don't have kindness in their hearts can't feel the kindness of others.

Kind, peace-loving peoples, on the other hand, are the easiest to let down their guard.
