Chapter 405: Psychological Temptation

When the battle began, the fleet of the Colonized Alliance did not immediately implement the predetermined tactics, and Feng Kailong planned to test the opponent's combat effectiveness first, and then move according to the situation.

Of course, this has a tentative meaning, but Feng Kailong also has a little selfishness, he wants to see if the fleet of the Colonization Alliance is more powerful, or the combined fleet of the warlords is more powerful.

Since the warlords were determined to defend to the end, in fact, Feng Kailong was able to use very few tactics, so he didn't play any tricks, he simply lined up a phalanx and fired at the opponent's fleet.

The warlords were backed by the defense system of the Sky Hanxing, so Feng Kailong did not dare to get too close, but the fleet of the Colonization and Anlian was now equipped with upgraded shipbreakers, and the range was greatly improved compared to the past, so even if it was far away, it could still cause effective damage to the enemy.

The fleets of both sides used textbook-like operations to shoot at each other with particle cannons and ship-breaking arrows, and the rotation of formations in the middle was also meticulous, and there was hardly anything to find fault with.

After several hours of fighting, each side had some losses, but neither of them reached the level of breaking the muscles and bones, Feng Kailong saw that the temptation was almost over, so he ordered to retreat, and the first day of the battle ended.

After the battle, Feng Kailong held a video conference and summarized the first day's battle with the admirals of each fleet.

On the whole, there was not much to say about the first day of fighting, and each other took a cautious attitude, and the purpose was only to test each other.

Feng Kailong finally concluded: "I believe everyone has seen today's battle, the enemy's military quality is very good, there is almost no place to find fault, for such an opponent, we must be cautious, and we must not underestimate the enemy......

Several admirals listened to Feng Kailong's speech, and said secretly in their hearts: "It turns out that the commander-in-chief is still worried that we will underestimate the enemy, could it be that he will be so cautious on the first day." ”

After the meeting, the fleet rested, and after a dozen hours, the second battle began.

The process of the second battle was almost identical to the first, Feng Kailong was still very cautious, exchanged shots with the other party for several hours, and then retreated without panic.

People who are familiar with Feng Kailong don't have any ideas, Feng Kailong's consistent style is like this, he never takes risks easily, and always makes himself invincible first when fighting, and then finds a way to win.

But those who watched the excitement on the Internet were not so calm, and all kinds of doubts came out one after another, all criticizing Feng Kailong for being timid in battle and too conservative in command, relying on such a fleet to shoot at each other, I don't know how long it will take to capture the imperial capital......

Nowhere was the reaction more obvious than the odds of the various gambling companies, with the odds of winning the Colonized Coalition Fleet being very low at first, and almost everyone agreeing that the Colonized Coalition Fleet would be overwhelmingly victorious.

However, after two battles, the odds for both sides have changed, and the predictions are no longer as one-sided as they were at the beginning.

However, these rumors on the Internet did not affect Feng Kailong in the slightest, he was already past the age of opinion in the accident world, not to mention that with Liu Yi's firm support, he could command the fleet according to his own ideas.

The battle in the next few days was still the same, and Feng Kailong didn't seem to have any other intention at all, and always insisted on firing with the enemy in a conventional fleet.

Public opinion from all sides has been evaluating Feng Kailong more and more badly, and the criticism has been rising wave after wave, accusing Feng Kailong of being incompetent in command, too conservative in tactics, and wasting the advanced warships of the Colonial and Allied Alliance.

What's more, he found out Feng Kailong's various past achievements, and then concluded that Feng Kailong was a commander who could only defend and not attack, and let him command the entire fleet of the Colonization and Security Alliance, I am afraid that it would delay the great fighter.

This view quickly gained a lot of support, and even within the Colonial Security Federation, the same voice appeared that it was not appropriate for Feng Kailong to lead the war, and that it was better to change the command to someone else.

However, Feng Kailong was still unmoved, and still fought how he should fight, as if he deliberately wanted to go against public opinion in the outside world.

Some soldiers and junior officers in the fleet also began to oppose Feng Kailong, these soldiers believed that with the strength of the Allied Fleet, the war should be easily won, but now it has been grinding for half a month, and there is not even any progress.

"I don't think this kind of combat method will work, and I don't know ......when I will fight day by day like this, and I don't know when I will fight."

"Be careful what you say, and be careful of what others sue you!"

"I'm not afraid to sue me, isn't what I'm saying the truth? The commander-in-chief is just too conservative, and I think it's better to take command of the fleet with someone else......"

"Actually, what you said is reasonable, I also think it's too conservative to fight like this, it's been almost half a month, and we haven't even seen each other's warships."

"I think he's not just conservative, he's just timid!"

When the soldiers were idle, they began to discuss this matter, the process of this war was completely different from what they imagined, everyone expected this to be a magnificent battle, but they did not expect it to be such a slow simmer.

As the criticism from the outside world became louder and louder, there began to be a large number of doubts in the fleet, and the suspicion of Feng Kailong gradually spread from the low-level soldiers to the top, and even some middle and high-level officers gradually began to waver.

"My lord, there have been a lot of criticisms of the commander-in-chief in the army recently, and we have collected and counted them casually, and almost one-third of them have openly expressed their dissatisfaction with the current war situation." Intelligence leader Zhuang Jun reported to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked absent-minded, and after listening to Zhuang Jun's report, he said slowly: "What do you think?" ”

Zhuang Jun's eyes rolled, and he didn't answer Liu Yi's question immediately.

Liu Yi smiled: "If you have any ideas, just say it, you don't have to swallow it." ”

Zhuang Jun smiled and said, "Actually...... I also think...... The commander-in-chief seems to have been overly cautious. Obviously, we have a great advantage, and we have a mature plan, I don't know why the commander-in-chief didn't immediately implement the plan, and my lord may be able to talk to the commander-in-chief. ”

Liu Yi shook his head and smiled: "Your opinion is probably also derived from a fixed impression, right?" ”

"This ......" Zhuang Jun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said: "Sort of, after all, the commander-in-chief's consistent style is like this." ”

"I see that you are all limited by fixed impressions, which is why you have come to this conclusion. In this way, I am more relieved that I will not interfere with the commander-in-chief's command. Liu Yi said with a smile.

Zhuang Jun didn't understand what Liu Yi meant, so he could only smile awkwardly, and then leave.

The outside world's evaluation of Feng Kailong not only affected the fleet of the Colonization Alliance, but also affected the combined fleet of the warlords.

Many warlords were very afraid of the Colonization Alliance's fleet at first, and they were very worried about whether the combined fleet would be able to withstand the onslaught of the Colonization Alliance's fleet.

However, Feng Kailong's conservative tactics made these warlords gradually let go of their worries, and they all thought that Feng Kailong was actually a commander who could only defend and did not know how to attack.

As the criticism became louder and louder, the warlords' impression of Feng Kailong became more and more profound, and some information about Feng Kailong was excavated, and this impression became even more unbreakable.

As a result, the warlords slowly became optimistic about this war, believing that as long as they firmly defended their current positions, Feng Kailong could not do anything to them.

After all, the fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation came from afar, and if the war dragged on for too long, it would be more and more unfavorable to the Colonial Alliance, not to mention that the warlords are not idle now, and they are also actively communicating with other military alliances, hoping that someone can launch an attack on the rear of the Colonial Alliance, forming a situation that makes the Colonial and Security Federation difficult to take care of.

"We don't have to be in a hurry, Feng Kailong is willing to play slowly, so we will play slowly with him."

"I knew Feng Kailong before, his defense is okay, and his offensive means are very ordinary, as long as we defend to the end, sooner or later the Anlian League will not be able to survive......"

"It's good now, anyway, Feng Kailong can't help us, and it can grind day by day."

Among the warlords, the comments about Feng Kailong are almost uniform, and almost everyone thinks that Feng Kailong is an incompetent commander who is simply not capable of commanding such a war.

In the blink of an eye, the battle had been going on for three weeks, and Feng Kailong had been using the same tactics all along, and it seemed that he was not in the opinion of the accident world.

Now the Internet no longer criticizes Feng Kailong for being conservative, but has set off a wave of calls for the replacement of commanders, and countless people think that Feng Kailong is completely incompetent, and it is best to feel that he is replaced, otherwise this war will be delayed by him.

This kind of voice also exists in the fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation, but everyone is too public because of their status. However, these rumors cannot escape the ears and eyes of the intelligence department, and Zhuang Jun receives many such opinions every day.

"My lord, the people below are saying that the commander-in-chief should be replaced and someone else should take command." Zhuang Jun said cautiously to Liu Yi.

Zhuang Jun knew very well in his heart that he was taking a certain risk by saying this, and with his level, he should not talk about Feng Kailong like this. However, Zhuang Jun believes that for the sake of victory in the war, it is his responsibility to tell Liu Yi these opinions.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yi heard Zhuang Jun's report, his face immediately sank, and he looked very unhappy.

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "Zhuang Jun, this kind of talk is not your turn, don't forget your duties!" ”

Zhuang Jun rarely saw Liu Yi like this, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead.

"My lord, I ...... I'm just being honest...... Put the following comments...... Reflect it to adults. Zhuang Jun said with a trembling voice.

Liu Yi said angrily: "Your duty is to collect intelligence, for how to fight the war, it is not your turn to decide, you better remember this!" I can tell you for sure, I will never change commanders on the spot! ”
