It was the first time that Zhuang Jun was criticized so harshly by Liu Yi, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out all over his body, and a coldness rushed up his back.

"Yes, my subordinates know." Zhuang Jun hurriedly apologized.

"You tell the people below that from now on you are not allowed to spread these remarks again, and it is up to the commander-in-chief to decide how the war will be fought!" Liu Yi said sharply.

Zhuang Jun hurriedly nodded and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”

Liu Yi didn't want to be verbose with Zhuang Jun anymore, and waved his hand impatiently, Zhuang Jun hurriedly gave a military salute and withdrew from Liu Yi's office in fear.

Subsequently, the intelligence department secretly warned officers at all levels that they should not make any further statements about the change of commanders, otherwise they would be punished by spreading rumors.

After this incident, there was indeed a lot less discussion in the fleet about the change of commander, but many people were still dissatisfied and just didn't dare to speak out.

Although Liu Yi did not tell Feng Kailong about these things, Feng Kailong still heard some of them more or less through some channels.

When Feng Kailong learned that Liu Yi severely criticized Zhuang Jun for his own sake, Feng Kailong's heart suddenly swelled with warmth, and he was secretly glad that he had chosen a wise chief.

This is the end of the matter, and although the criticism from the outside world is still overwhelming, at least no one in the fleet dares to discuss the matter anymore.

In fact, Feng Kailong had expected such a situation from the beginning, but he still firmly followed his own line of thought, and now the criticism from the outside world is actually exactly what he hoped for.

Feng Kailong secretly said in his heart: "In such a public opinion environment, those people on the other side will probably think that I am indeed an incompetent commander who can only defend and not attack......

Subsequently, Feng Kailong ordered the fleet to temporarily ceased fighting for a few days, and all the officers and men rested to prepare for the next stage of the operation.

Since the Colonization Alliance fleet suspended the attack, the outside world speculated that Feng Kailong's position was in jeopardy, and probably Liu Yi couldn't stand it and was ready to change generals.

Such a view quickly gained universal acceptance, and even the warlords believed that Feng Kailong was probably going to be replaced by someone else, and whoever was in Liu Yi's position could not accept Feng Kailong's grinding style.

Unfortunately, they were all wrong, and a few days later, the fleet of the Colonization and Security Union was in action again, only this time it did not carry out the usual fleet exchange of fires in the past.

Feng Kailong suddenly went against the norm and sent the third and fourth fleets to turn around and sail towards the satellites of Tianhan Star, everyone knew what was there, and this move was obviously preparing to attack the launch base of Houyi Artillery.

The warlords who received the information were taken aback, but they didn't expect that at this time, the fleet of the Colony and the Coalition would actually think of attacking the launch base of the Houyi artillery, and it seemed that the fleet of the Colony and the Coalition had really changed its commander.

The warlord leaders immediately held a meeting to discuss what to do about this sudden change.

Most of the warlords did not panic, but were surprised that the launch base of the Houyi artillery was protected by the fleet, and coupled with the huge power of the Houyi artillery, it was most likely difficult for the operation of the Colonization and Security Alliance fleet to succeed.

"I don't think there's any need to worry about anything, it will take at least a day for the enemy to reach the attack position, Xu Kai's side has plenty of time to prepare, as long as they come with such a shot, it will be enough for them." The warlords said one after another.

"I think too, these guys are all stupid, I don't think they can do anything but pretend!"

"We just need to pay close attention to the battle situation, and Xu Kai's side should be enough to deal with it."

"I think the Colonists and Anlian should have replaced Feng Kailong, otherwise they would never suddenly think of attacking the launch base of Houyi Artillery. Perhaps the new commander was in a hurry to make a meritorious service, which is why he took such a risky action. ”

Most of the warlords agreed with this view, and in their opinion, Feng Kailong would not have taken such a risk, and it should be a measure taken by the new commander.

The meeting ended quickly, and the warlords all said that they didn't have to worry for the time being, Xu Kai could take care of everything, after all, he had Houyi artillery in hand, and no matter how many fleets came, he didn't have to worry.

As the third and fourth fleets of the Colonization and Security Federation gradually approached the satellites of Tianhanxing, Xu Kai's Houyi artillery was also ready to be launched.

In order to ensure that there were no problems, Xu Kai personally went to the control center of the Houyi artillery to take control, and under his supervision, all the staff were ready to fire at any time.

"Report, the fleet of the Colonization Alliance has entered the firing range!"

"Report, the Houyi artillery firing system has been prepared and is ready to be launched at any time!"

The staff kept reporting the latest situation to Xu Kai, and the atmosphere in the control center gradually became tense.

Xu Kai sat in his seat, crossed Erlang's legs, and the foot he raised kept shaking, and it could be seen that he was also anxious and nervous in his heart.

"The Colonization Alliance fleet has completely entered the firing range, and the Houyi artillery has completed aiming!"

Hearing this, Xu Kai finally couldn't sit still, and said to the staff in charge of communication: "Connect Zhang Zhao for me, I want to talk to him!" ”

Zhang Zhao's image soon appeared in the projection, "Oh, Lao Xu, what's the matter with me?" Zhang Zhao said enthusiastically.

Xu Kai pretended to be calm and said: "Lao Zhang, my side is ready, and I can use the Houyi cannon to attack the fleet of the Colonial Alliance at any time. You don't have any opinions, do you? ”

Zhang Zhao smiled: "Of course I don't have any opinions, you can do it yourself, it's best to blast them all into scum in one go!" ”

Xu Kai nodded and said, "Very good, since that's the case, I'm not welcome, I'll give them some color right away." ”

"We await your good news!" Zhang Zhao said happily.

After ending the call, Xu Kai's face seemed to be better, only to see him let out a long breath, and then said: "Listen to my order, Houyi cannon is ready to be launched, and the target coordinates are ......"

After Xu Kai finished speaking, the staff were dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask Xu Kai: "My lord, this coordinate is not right, the enemy's fleet is not in this position." ”

Xu Kai said with a firm expression: "Listen to me, it's this coordinate, you don't have to worry about anything else!" ”

Everyone looked at each other puzzled, but Xu Kai still didn't mean to change his words, and seemed to have already decided that he should fire at the coordinates he said.

A person who was familiar with Xu Kai lowered his voice and said to the others: "Listen to the adults, we don't care about anything else." ”

"Okay, whatever he says is what he says......" Everyone shrugged helplessly, and readjusted the firing coordinates of the Houyi cannon according to the coordinates Xu Kai said.

"Coordinates adjusted!"

"Charge ready!"

"Houyi cannon can be fired at any time!"

Xu Kai nodded and said, "Launch!" ”

On the bridge of the flagship of the Third Fleet, a soldier shouted loudly: "There is a high-energy reaction ahead, it's the Houyi cannon!" ”

Hearing the shout, everyone in the bridge fell silent, and everyone involuntarily held their breath, waiting for the fateful moment to come.

A huge beam of light from the Houyi cannon swept past the side of the Colonization Union fleet, and the high-energy reaction caused many of the instruments in the battleship to appear abnormal.

Fortunately, this anomaly did not last long, and it returned to normal after about a few minutes, but the instrument that measured the energy reaction still showed how terrifying the beam of the Houyi cannon was just now.

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and in just a few seconds, everyone seemed to have walked back and forth between life and death.

"It's over...... Everyone continues to work. The captains said with trepidation.

The launch of the Houyi cannon did not hit the target, but grazed the fleet of the Colonial Alliance, which had never happened before.

The reaction of the Colonial Security Federation was jubilation, especially the high-ranking officials, who knew that Xu Kai's cannon was deliberately empty, otherwise the Third and Fourth Fleets would have disappeared now.

The warlord's side was puzzled, and everyone felt that this matter was very strange, and for some reason, this Houyi cannon would be empty.

Zhang Zhao and several other big warlords immediately contacted Xu Kai and asked about the reason why Hou Yi's cannon was missed.

"Old Xu, what's going on? Why did the Houyi artillery not hit the target? Zhang Zhao shouted angrily.

Xu Kai had already thought of countermeasures, and when he saw Zhang Zhao's anxious look, he pretended to be even more anxious than Zhang Zhao.

"Damn! I don't know what's going on, I'm asking the people below to check it right away, no matter who did the good deeds, I'm going to break him! Xu Kai stomped his feet and scolded.

Zhang Zhao saw that Xu Kai's face was full of anger, his face was swollen and red, and he looked really angry, as if he was about to explode at any time.

"Lao Xu, don't worry, investigate the cause of the accident first, and you must hurry up to repair the Houyi cannon, which is more important than anything else." Zhang Zhao comforted.

Xu Kai kept walking around, waving his hands and saying, "Hell! If something goes wrong at this time, it's almost me off! ”

Zhang Zhao saw that Xu Kai was very emotional, so he persuaded a few more words, and then ended the call.

"How? What the hell is going on? Several other warlord leaders hurriedly gathered around and asked.

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with Hou Yi's cannon, and Lao Xu is investigating the reason." ”

"Really? Somehow, I'm always a little worried......," said one of them.

Zhang Zhao's eyes rolled and asked, "What, do you think Lao Xu is lying?" ”

"I don't know, I always feel that the timing of Houyi's cannon is too coincidental." The man said with a shrug.

Another person said: "Usually the Houyi cannon is rarely used, who knows when it is broken." Maybe it's broken a long time ago, but he hasn't noticed it. ”

Several people discussed it, and no one could say whether it was Hou Yipao who really had a problem, or Xu Kai who had a problem.

In the end, Zhang Zhao said: "I see...... It is unlikely that Lao Xu has a problem, if he really wants to betray, he can have taken refuge in the Colony and Anlian a long time ago, and there is no need to take refuge now. What's more, if he really betrayed, why did he have to fire just now? ”
