Chapter 324: The Army's Morale Is Weakened
"Give me something faster! Don't grind! Fan Jun kept urging through the internal broadcast.
However, the captains below were full of promises, but they didn't raise the speed. Fan Jun was surprised to find that his flagship was supposed to be in the center of the formation, but now it had already reached the front, and the other warships were running slower and slower.
"Damn! They are passive and sluggish! They should all be court-martialed for trial! Fan Jun angrily scolded.
But this is of little use to the officers below, those people have already made up their minds, as long as everyone is passive and sluggish, Fan Jun has no way to deal with them.
The Dragon Bird fleet has been stretched out very long because many warships have deliberately dragged their feet, and the battleships in front lack the cover of other ships, making it easier to be targeted.
Feng Kailong asked the fleet to concentrate its firepower to attack the opponent's vanguard, and at the same time let the fleet keep retreating, trying to keep a certain distance from the opponent.
The battle lasted for two or three hours, and the vanguard of the Dragon Bird fleet suffered extremely heavy losses, while the other ships were already far behind, and the formation was completely deformed.
Fan Jun knew that if he continued to fight, he would simply be sent to death, and his flagships were about to run to the front, and if he continued like this, he would become the vanguard.
Now Fan Jun had no intention of dying with the flagship, so he had no choice but to give the order that the fleet stop attacking and reorganize the formation.
Finally gathering the fleet together, Fan Jun was surprised to find that today's battle had caused nearly 15% of the ship's losses, while the losses of the Yaqiu fleet were almost negligible.
Fan Jun felt that his orders were becoming more and more ineffective, and the entire fleet was becoming like a plate of loose sand.
Until now, Fan Jun didn't understand how all this happened, a good fleet had completely changed its appearance in such a short period of time.
Now the Dragonbird fleet is full of war-weariness, and the officers below are no longer willing to continue to contribute, but they have no intention of starting a rebellion, and seem to want to drag it out until the end of the war.
The news of Yaqiu's unfavorable battle continued to be sent to Zhang Jin, and Zhang Jin saw that Fan Jun was unable to capture Yaqiu for a long time, and his mood was extremely bad.
At the same time, a purge was also underway in Zhang Jin's own fleet.
Since Zhang Jin ordered the investigation of the traitor who leaked the news, Sun Xian, the staff member in charge of the matter, took the opportunity to set off a vigorous arrest operation.
Sun Xian was full of thoughts about making some noise, so that Zhang Jin could see how hard he worked, as long as he got this done, it was only a matter of time before he was promoted.
In order to show his determination, Sun Xian arrested many middle- and high-ranking officers at the beginning and interrogated them extremely harshly.
At the same time, Sun Xian also encouraged the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level to actively report the report, and as long as the verification is true, the target of the report will be arrested immediately.
At first, everyone also reported the traitorous behavior, but the matter quickly got out of control, and more and more people caught the wind and caught the wind about the shortcomings of others, and reported the little thing to Sun Xian, completely turning this investigation into a means of resolving personal grievances.
Sun Xian, in line with the principle of preferring to believe what he has and not believing what he has not, arrested all the people who were reported for interrogation, making everyone nervous, for fear that one of them would be arrested if he was not careful.
Seeing that more and more people were under investigation, and even their normal work was affected, everyone in the fleet complained, and many officers went directly to Zhang Jin to complain, saying that Sun Xian's investigation had seriously affected the normal order of the fleet.
At the beginning, Zhang Jin also strongly supported Sun Xian, this investigation was originally requested by Zhang Jin, and it is conceivable that there will be resistance, so it is impossible for Zhang Jin to stop the investigation because of the complaints of a few people.
However, there were more and more opposing voices in the fleet, and in the end, as many as 100 officers sent messages to Zhang Jin, asking Zhang Jin to stop such an investigation and arrest people, otherwise they would have to pick on their own and quit!
At this time, Zhang Jin finally realized the seriousness of the problem, if the officers all went on strike, the entire fleet would immediately fall into a state of unmanaged chaos.
So Zhang Jin had no choice but to call Sun Xian and ask Sun Xian about the results of the investigation, and if he could, Zhang Jin hoped to stop the investigation temporarily.
Sun Xian reported the results of the investigation to Zhang Jin, and Zhang Jin was shocked when he heard it, Sun Xian's investigation results involved many things related to personal privacy, such as who had done illegal things, and who had violated discipline...... In short, there are many unsightly things.
Zhang Jinxin said: "I really don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked." There are so many nonsense things in the fleet, and if these are spread, I am afraid that others will use my fleet as a place to hide filth and dirt. ”
In fact, it is not surprising that there are so many unsightly things, and there must be so many people in a fleet, and there must be all kinds of people, among which there are naturally many people with improper intentions and misbehavior.
However, these things are carefully kept hidden, so they don't make a strong impression.
It's good now, Sun Xian has investigated all these things, and the black history in various fleets has surfaced, no wonder everyone from top to bottom is extremely disgusted with this investigation.
Although Sun Xian uncovered so much black history, nothing was found about the traitor, and Zhang Jin was greatly disappointed in Sun Xian's ability to do things.
"That's it! Let's stop the investigation of this matter! Zhang Jin said to Sun Xian with a calm face.
Sun Xian also planned to defend a few words, and said: "My lord, as long as I give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to find out the traitor, it would be a pity to stop now." ”
Zhang Jin shouted: "Enough! Now that the investigation has affected the normal work of the fleet, the entire fleet cannot be destroyed for the sake of the investigation, so the matter will be stopped! ”
Sun Xian didn't dare to defend anymore, but there were some things that he had to ask Zhang Jin for instructions, so he asked stubbornly, "Got it, my lord." What happens to those who are imprisoned? Some of them are so unforgivable that even if they go to court, it is not an exaggeration......"
"These will be investigated later, the key now is to win the war, everything will be said after the war, and the detainees will be released first!"
"Good...... Okay......" Sun Xian secretly wiped his sweat, he already felt Zhang Jin's anger.
"Okay, this matter is over, you close the investigation as soon as possible and write me a report that can appease everyone!"
"Got it." Sun Xian trembled and said, "My lord, I want to ask, ...... my work in the future."
Zhang Jin then remembered that he had to give Sun Xian a placement, and now there are too many people in the fleet to hate Sun Xian to death, and if he stays in the fleet, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sun Xian to do it, so it's better to arrange it somewhere else.
With his eyes rolling, Zhang Jin thought of a way and said to Sun Xian: "In this way, you go back first and serve as a staff officer of the intelligence department at the headquarters." ”
Sun Xian was disappointed when he heard this, he was busy for a long time, and he offended so many people, but he only got a transfer at the same level, and he didn't even go up to half a level.
Zhang Jin didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he waved his hand and sent Sun Xian away, now he had more and more important things to think about.
Now the situation in all aspects is very unfavorable to Zhang Jin, the new admiral of the Thunder Dragon Fleet has not yet arrived, so that Zhang Jin does not dare to fight with Li Xingqi, and the Dragon Bird Fleet sent to attack Yaqiu has been unable to complete the task for a long time, it seems that fate is deliberately making things difficult for him Zhang Jin, and there is nothing that can make him happy.
The only thing that can make Zhang Jin feel at ease is that the distance between the two families is very far now, and Li Xingqi can't threaten him for the time being, so that he still has plenty of time to think about what to do next.
With the final release of the investigation report, this uproarious investigation incident has finally come to an end, and Zhang Jin is glad that no bigger riots have developed in the end. Sun Xian, who was in charge of the incident, was also transferred and left the fleet early on a transport ship.
Zhang Jin just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that the real trouble had already found the door.
The soldiers in charge of monitoring discovered a large-scale jump reaction from a distance of more than 100,000 kilometers, and after some analysis, it was finally determined that it was a large fleet.
No need to ask, this must be Li Xingqi's fleet, which ran to a place not too far away from Zhang Jin's fleet by jumping.
"Damn it! It's really coming. Zhang Jin scolded very annoyed.
Zhang Jin's staff immediately put forward various suggestions, and one of them proposed: "My lord, since they can jump, we can too, as long as we jump to other places immediately." ”
"There's no point in jumping somewhere else......" someone objected.
"I think it's better to get ready for battle right away, and instead of playing hide and seek with them everywhere, it's better to prepare for battle."
After listening to the advice of his staff, Zhang Jin decided to adopt the method of jumping and continued to dodge Li Xingqi's edge until Yaqiu's battle had a result.
Before entering the jump, Zhang Jin had a call with Fan Jun, and Zhang Jin said very sternly: "Fan Jun, how did you do it, you haven't captured Yaqiu yet, Li Xingqi's reinforcements are about to arrive, if you don't want to die, hurry up and attack me!" ”
Fan Jun looked listless, and replied resignedly: "Yes, my lord, I will attack immediately, and I promise to take Yaqiu as soon as possible." ”
"Not as soon as possible, but right away!" Zhang Jin slapped the table and shouted, "Three days! I give you three days, and within three days you must give me the capture of Achiu, or you will wait to die!" ”
Fan Jun nodded with a dead face, and said weakly, "I understand, my lord." I'll take Aqiu for you in three days. ”
ended the call, Fan Jun slammed his fist on the console in front of him, making a muffled "bang" sound, startling the people next to him.
