Inside the hospital, all was calm and peaceful, as if nothing from the outside world could ever get in.

Zhang Tianhao, who had just come down from the operating table, sat down to the side, panting heavily, with a cup of tea handed to him by Sun Xiaolan.

"Dr. Wang, would you like to take a break?"

"I need to rest for a while. If this continues, I'm going to be exhausted."

He also sighed. After all, he had been performing high-intensity surgery all morning, which was hard even for him, let alone the nurses and other staff who were with him.

"Okay, let's do the next surgery this afternoon. It's almost noon now. I've asked Sister Zhou to get some food. We'll eat something in the office and then rest for a while."

"Row."

After drinking the tea, Zhang Tianhao put the cup aside and let out a long sigh.

"Let's go back to the office, I need to get some rest!"

"Row!"

After the two left, the nurses pushed the patient directly into the ward, since it was up to others to take care of things next.

Just as the patient in the ward was being wheeled away, John glanced at Zhang Tianhao as he left, his smile widening rather than diminishing.

"This Dr. Wang is truly exceptional. An ordinary person would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. I never imagined he would perform three more surgeries than others. That's three surgeries!"

"This is truly a talent, a real talent!"

"It's a pity that even our hospital might not be able to retain such talent!"

He sighed, but there was nothing he could do, since such talents were simply too few.

……

"What? The Japanese naval transport fleet has disappeared, and the warships are gone too, including six Japanese divisions?"

In Yan'an, Minister Li looked at the latest news he had just received and felt completely numb.

No one expected that Japanese radio broadcasts would suddenly become more frequent, even more frequent than before, which forced them to take it seriously.

After deciphering the telegram, Minister Li received the latest news.

"How is that possible? Six divisions, six Japanese divisions! They just vanished at sea like that? How is that possible?"

Upon reading the telegram, Minister Li was completely stunned, almost unable to believe it.

"Investigate! Find out where the six Japanese divisions went—northern Jiangsu, Shandong, or south? We must find them!"

"Minister, our people have also checked repeatedly. The Japanese are exchanging telegrams too frequently. Now we can be almost certain that these six Japanese divisions have disappeared."

"Not only that, Japanese planes were also constantly searching at sea, which almost certainly confirmed that this was not a Japanese conspiracy, but that the planes had really gone missing."

"Any news from northern Jiangsu?"

"No, there is no news at all. There is no movement whatsoever, but it seems that the troops in northern Jiangsu have also begun to be mobilized, the specific reason is unknown."

"I see. It seems this matter is very likely related to the Northern Jiangsu Army Group."

He took a deep breath, then looked at the people below and said with a serious expression, "We need to further confirm the accuracy of the information. If it is true, then it's a huge scandal, and the Japanese army will definitely not let it go unchecked."

"The Japanese army's retaliation was absolutely insane."

"That's possible. After all, what kind of people were the Japanese soldiers? A bunch of lunatics."

"Go down and verify repeatedly, while strengthening security in all aspects and issuing security warnings."

"Yes!"

……

"Old Zhao, the Japanese are practically insane now. There are quite a few Japanese spies in northern Jiangsu. We've already arrested more than a dozen."

"Yes, it's been over ten years!" Old Zhao laughed as well, saying calmly, "It's no wonder the Japanese are going crazy. That's six divisions, six divisions, plus a small Japanese fleet, more than 100,000 Japanese troops. Tell me, wouldn't the Japanese go crazy?"

"Under such circumstances, it would be strange if they didn't go crazy."

"No wonder you started mobilizing troops to set up defenses yesterday. You saw it too. This time, the Japanese suffered a great loss. However, the young master has already instructed that this matter must be kept secret, and this fleet cannot even appear in the open."

"Of course, I have plenty. Those two battleships, four destroyers, twelve gunboats, and ten submarines have all been sent to a secret island at sea."

"They drove past, last night?"

"Yes, it's 300 nautical miles away. A small naval port has already been built there, but it took the navy a lot of effort to build it up, and it was finally completed a few days ago."

"Will the planes outside be able to spot us?"

"We couldn't find it. The island was covered in trees, and we had a huge cave there. All the warships went inside. Otherwise, we really don't know if we could have gotten away."

"You're really amazing, you thought of that so early!"

"More than 10,000 men from the Second Naval Division have all gone there."

"That works too, it's safer that way."

"That's true!"

The two exchanged a smile. They hadn't originally planned to activate the secret military port, but now they had no choice but to start it ahead of schedule.

"By the way, young master doesn't know about this place yet. Let's not let it slip. We'll keep it a secret for now."

"You little rascal, you're trying to give the young master a big surprise!"

"Didn't the young master tell us to hide the things well? We've hidden them well now, isn't that good?"

"Hehe, that's true."

The two exchanged a smile, picked up their cups, and began to drink their tea.

……

Inside the hospital office.

Zhang Tianhao lay on the bed, just closing his eyes. He was clearly exhausted. After all, he had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't had a moment to breathe. If he hadn't rested for a day and a night at Liu Yue's place in the Second Army of Northern Jiangsu, he would have been dead from exhaustion.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, a short knock came from the door.

"Dr. Wang, it's me!"

A familiar voice came from outside, followed by the sound of Sun Xiaolan opening the door.

"Dr. Wang, it's urgent!"

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Sun Xiaolan closed the door behind her and went to Zhang Tianhao's bedside. She didn't say much and squeezed herself onto the bed, clearly exhausted.

"I'm going to lie down for a while. I'm too tired, and I still have to talk to people!"

"Row!"

Zhang Tianhao moved to the side. Although the bed was only one meter wide, the two of them had to lie on their sides. Zhang Tianhao instinctively reached out and hugged her lower back to prevent her from falling off.

The two were face to face, only a few centimeters apart, which looked far too close.

Sun Xiaolan also felt that it was too close and wanted to move back a bit, but the bed was only so big. When she tried to move, Zhang Tianhao hugged her and pulled her closer to his arms.

"Alright, tell me, what's the matter that made you rush over here?" (End of Chapter)
