In the past two days, Xia Xiaoshi often reported that she felt backache, accompanied by the feeling of falling abdomen, so the corresponding preparations had already been made.

The current mansion is close to the Forbidden City, and how can there be no hospital around the place where the imperial court offices are gathered?

Drive all the way south after leaving the house, and pass through Tongjimen along the straight Tongjimen Avenue, and on the left hand side is the First Hospital of Yingtianfu.

After only half an hour, Lin Xi steadily parked the car at the entrance of the hospital.

When Zhou Changfeng hurriedly arrived, the two were already waiting in the waiting room.

He looked at Xia Xiaoshi, who was half-lying on the bed, from head to toe, and asked, "Does it hurt now?" ”

The latter looks good now, "a little ...... It's been going on for a while. ”

"Well, it's fine."

"I'm afraid it will hurt a lot later."

"Don't be afraid, it won't be painful when the time comes."

It didn't take long for Xia's father and Xia's mother to arrive.

Gao Linglu leaned over with concern to ask for warmth, while Xia Bing talked to Zhou Changfeng.

Located not far from the imperial court office, Yingtianfu No. 1 Hospital has received all kinds of imperial court officials and knows how to cater to their psychology very well.

For example, it was clear that Xia Xiaoshi's current condition had been consulted and clarified when he was admitted to the hospital before, but now that Zhou Changfeng came, another doctor came over and repeated the process of measuring blood pressure, taking pulse, inquiring, and recording.

The core is one sentence - we can use our hearts.

"So is she a good candidate for anesthesia?"

"Yes, your lady is very good, the fetus is good, it must be very smooth."

In fact, painless childbirth was used as early as the mid-19th century, and was initially very successful, and was sought after by many mothers, but it was criticized by conservatives and religious people.

They asked: Labor pains are God-given (original sin) and are to be borne as a matter of course, and people are not entitled to take them away?

The debate continued until Queen Victoria opted for a painless birth during childbirth, and the criticism of the no-nonsense came to an end.

It takes a long time from the aggravation of contractions to the opening of the ten fingers, ranging from a few hours to a dozen hours.

During this period, several people chatted with Silas, on the one hand, to finalize the name of the child who was about to be born, and on the other hand, they hoped to distract Xia Xiaoshi's attention.

It was not until the evening of this day that Xia Xiaoshi was officially sent to the delivery room.

Zhou Changfeng grabbed her hand, then patted her shoulder again, "Take it easy." ”

Because of the continuous pain, Xia Xiaoshi's face was a little stiff, but her eyes were still clear, she nodded slowly and whispered "um".

In the following waiting time, Zhou Changfeng was very depressed and found that everyone present seemed calm and relaxed, but he was the only one who was a little nervous?

Xia Bing, who has always had a big heart, is as relaxed as ever at this moment, as if he has been sure that everything will go well.

Seeing that his son-in-law was so nervous, he couldn't help but joke: "Kexing, I heard that you were very comfortable when you led the army to fight before, hahaha." ”

"Hey, after all, it's the first time, it can't be compared, it can't be compared." The circumference is slightly embarrassing.

It is said that people feel that time slows down when they are nervous, but to his surprise, not long after he entered the delivery room, he suddenly heard a cry coming from it.

In an instant, he felt his heart slip up.

As the footsteps inside got closer and closer, he became more nervous, and he really felt his heart rise to his throat.

The door opened, and there was a young nurse with some baby fat on her face.

"Mr. Hexi, she is a daughter, it went very well, she came out all of a sudden, and Mrs. is in good condition."

Later, when Xia Xiaoshi was pushed out with her infant daughter in her arms, she was greeted by a smiling husband and father, as well as a mother with concern in her eyes.

Zhou Changfeng was still a little curious at this time - wasn't the mother generally a little weak when she first came out of the delivery room? How can this person in my family be so spiritual and natural? Looks like he's in good shape.

"Are you alright? How does it feel? ”

"I'm fine."

The midwife was a kind and gentle aunt, and she smiled: "It's been less than a quarter of an hour, and there is no knife, only a slight tear, which is the smoothest today." You can go home directly for confinement, and you can stay for a day. ”

However, Xia Xiaoshi didn't like the atmosphere of the hospital and insisted on going back, so the group did as she wished.

Only got a daughter in the year of the approaching establishment, and in the eyes of others, Zhou Changfeng's "progress" is really a little slow, even if he only focuses on the generals of the same age in the army, he basically has several children.

Although he didn't seem to care, Xia Xiaoshi and Gao Linglu couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Forget it, I've been thinking about it for so long, and it seems that I really don't have a favorite name, so let's not take it for the time being." Zhou Changfeng struggled for a long time, and simply didn't plan to finalize the name.

Xia Bing smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, it's okay to take it again in 100 days or 100 years." ”

There are many traditional Chinese naming habits, such as naming at birth, full moon, 100 days, and 100 days. Nowadays, in order to facilitate management, the local government naturally tends to set the name early, otherwise it will have to dig out the documents to change it at that time.

In terms of literature, Zhou Changfeng thinks that Xia Xiaoshi is more proficient, and his daughter's nickname is also based on what she thinks, taking "Jian Xi Jian Xi, Fang Jiang Wan Wu" as Jian Jian.

When he got home, the excited Zhou Changfeng hugged his daughter and teased non-stop, but Jian Jian in swaddling clothes didn't seem to buy it and cried non-stop.

Xia Xiaoshi couldn't help but say helplessly: "Okay, sir, let her rest, don't toss her up." ”

It didn't take long for congratulatory calls from all sides to continue. Often just hang up the phone, before the person has gone far, the jingle rings again.

But the happy times were always short-lived, and the next day was March 19, and in order to get back to the troops in time, he had to set out early in the morning.

Newborn babies basically eat, sleep, and eat, with an interval of a few hours, regardless of day and night, and they still cry when they wake up at night, so it is very tormenting.

Although he didn't sleep well intermittently, Zhou Changfeng, who enjoyed it, cherished this short opportunity, and the next time he came back would be a few months later.

True to his promise before the last separation, he returned from Singapore with a small bottle of fine sand from the coconut grove and some knick-knacks from the local market.

When I come back next time, it's probably going to be the Old Port.

"I'm leaving, peace of mind."

"Hmm... Hmmm......"

Xia Xiaoshi, who was not in good spirits, said goodbye to Zhou Changfeng in a state of confusion, and it was difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction, as if it was like a dream.

When she really came to her senses, she found that she was already on the third pole, and the person Zhou beside her had long since disappeared.

She stared at the small glass bottle on the cabinet in the corner of the room, and said to herself, "If only I could finish it quickly this time." ”

The process of conquering the South Seas has finally come to the most critical and complicated place.

The jungle islands, large and small, would not be enough to fill even a million troops, and in order to achieve the goal with maximum efficiency, a huge joint attack plan of land, sea and air was implemented.

Twenty years ago, the Governor's Office began to work on the seizure of the Nanyang lands, and as time passed, the old plans were constantly revised and refined, and new plans emerged due to the emergence of new troops.

For example, paratroopers are certainly not visible in the earliest version of the plan of action.

In terms of campaign deployment, it is divided into several types.

The first is to peel back the cocoon, first solve the outer islands little by little, and finally work together to besiege Java Island.

The second is to go straight to the front, abandon the periphery, and go straight to several oil fields and Batavia.

Third, the center blossomed, and at the beginning, paratroopers were used to directly surprise several oil fields to avoid destruction, and follow-up troops were reinforced one after another.

The central flowering is undoubtedly the most adventurous, full of uncertainties, and in fact went unnoticed in previous years.

Originally, the Governor's Office of Staff intended to use paratroopers as a supplement, and no matter if they peeled off the cocoon or went straight in, they would not directly engage in paratroopers at the beginning.

And the paratroopers used to be more resistant to the center, because they didn't dare to pack tickets to complete the mission.

In other words, I am not even fifty percent sure.

But a series of recent changes have pushed the plan in a more adventurous direction.

The Ming army realized that the colonial army was indeed weak and powerless, and there was no need to overestimate it.

And the problem that the paratroopers were worried about was effectively solved - the lack of support weapons.

Although the Dutch and Indian army did not have any decent tanks, they did have a lot of armored vehicles, which were enough to pose a mortal threat to the light infantry.

How to deal with them with rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, grenades? When the time comes, it will definitely be suppressed by firepower and put in a dilemma.

The advent of bazookas, anti-tank grenades, and anti-tank grenades has directly turned all this upside down, and the paratroopers are now sure that they will be able to take out these thin-skinned cans with reasonable tactics.

Without these things, it would be remarkable that the Dutch and Indian army, which can almost be equated with the rabble, can hold out for three rounds.

Therefore, after four consecutive meetings of careful consideration, the Governor's Office finally finalized this bold plan.

The operation number is "A/542/4/2", and the code name is "Blood Paralysis".

The ground combat units were divided into two main parts, and the Third Army, which had ended the Malayan campaign, was not disbanded, but the 22nd Division was withdrawn and remained as an occupying force.

Its sequence includes the 1st Marine Corps Brigade, the 8th Infantry Division, the 33rd Infantry Division, the 1st Tank Brigade, the 3rd Engineering Brigade, the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 2nd Aviation Service Brigade.

The Third Army was in charge of the island of Sumudara, and after capturing the old port, it prepared to move eastward into the island of Java.

The newly established Fourth Army includes the 2nd Marine Corps Brigade, the 38th Infantry Division, the 27th Infantry Division, the 4th Engineering Brigade, the 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 5th Air Service Brigade.

They would use Lan Fong as their base to sweep Borneo from the north and south, capture the port of Marisin and the Balikpapan oil fields, and then assemble in Bansin and land on the island of Java.

The air force units planned to participate in the war consisted of the 6th Destroyer Detachment, the 3rd Destroyer Detachment, the 2nd Light Bombing Detachment, the 6th Light Bombing Detachment, the 1st Dive Bombing Detachment, and the 3rd Transport Detachment.

They were organized into the First Air Force, which consisted of about 900 aircraft of all types.

As for the navy, the destruction of the Z fleet has made it impossible for a naval force in the South Seas to be a sufficient threat.

Therefore, the Ming Navy stationed some of its warships at the newly occupied Changi Naval Base in Singapore and the Songbai Port in Lan Fang.

The actual fleet is no longer large, but it is also well-equipped enough, mainly composed of agile high-speed warships, which can wipe out the BDA trilateral alliance navy at any time that dares to attack.

This fleet is collectively referred to as the 146 Special Fleet, which is divided into multiple detachment fleets-

The 24th artillery fleet of the first word: 2 high-speed battleships, 2 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 6 destroyers, and the aircraft carrier Amaichi Ugaki .

They were responsible for patrolling back and forth in the Java Sea, and enemy fleets were beaten as soon as they went out.

C-25 Air Attack Fleet: 2 battle cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 6 destroyers, and the aircraft carriers Taiwei Left and Taiwei Right Wall.

They are the backbone of long-range strikes, and if the BDA coalition forces cower at the Surabaya naval base and do not dare to go out of the port to fight, then wait for the bombing to sink at the berth.

The 27th submarine flotilla: 6 submarines and 4 ocean-going submarines. They would be scattered across the Java Sea and the Makassar Strait to patrol back and forth, monitoring and ambushing enemy ships.

The 28th submarine warfare fleet: 10 submarines and 5 ocean-going submarines. They would go further afield to the Banda Sea and the Savu Sea, cutting off the route between the islands of the South Seas and Australia.

In addition to this, there was the detachment that escorted the landing force, with a total of 11 destroyers, 3 light cruisers, and 1 seaplane carrier.

The Ming army was fully prepared, and the countdown to inflict pain on the enemy had begun.

In comparison, what the BDA Triple Alliance has done is extremely speechless.

The Joint Command was formed not long ago, a week before the surrender of the Singapore Far East Command.

Although more than 10 days have passed so far, various matters are still in a mess, and there are many contradictions within the Joint Command.

When the British and Australians decided to set up a joint command to coordinate the actions of the army, navy and air force, they did not consult the Dutch at all.

Ironically, the Dutch side is the largest number of troops in the area – more than 80,000 ground troops, more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, and more than 300 aircraft.

The British and Indian troops had only 10,000 troops, and the Australian troops were less than 20,000.

What is even more ironic is that the Dutch, who have operated here for hundreds of years, are undoubtedly the most familiar with this area, but only one Dutch lieutenant colonel in the naval command of the Joint Command holds a key position.

On the day of the birth of Zhou Changfeng's baby daughter, the Air Force Command moved to Batavia because of poor living conditions.

When the catastrophe comes, do you still feel uncomfortable and move?

They didn't even have a basic joint operations command, the so-called command was more of a loose symbolic thing, and the language was not intelligible.

「…… In the office, everyone seems to be working hard, but they don't really know what to do...... It seems to me that the comical failure of resistance is more humiliating than the voluntary abandonment of [the colony], and no one will henceforth remember the glory of the Netherlands." Dutch and Indian Army Major Gerd wrote in his diary.

Damn it! The picture is swallowed again!
