Those journalists and media who are afraid of chaos in the world have made a big deal of it, blaming the relevant generals by name.

In recent years, the country's largest private newspaper in circulation, Huidong Yuebao, published three days later a report by the newspaper dispatching war correspondents to the Seventh Mobile Fleet. The manuscript quoted the statements of many relevant personnel, including the words of Colonel Qin Zhiyun, chief of staff of the 73rd Fleet, saying that the fundamental reason why the 73rd Fleet suffered heavy losses was that the carrier-based aircraft of the 71st Fleet could not reach the airspace above the fleet in time to provide support, so that after the 73rd Fleet faced the attack of more than 10 German torpedo boats alone, it was attacked by more than 80 aircraft of the German Air Force in a short period of time, and in the front of the German Air Force's attack, it lasted for 15 minutes. The F15 fighters of the 71st Squadron were never able to arrive, and the carrier-based aircraft of the 71st Squadron did not arrive until the Germans had completed most of their attacks and inflicted heavy damage on the Hindu.

Therefore, the ineffective command of Rear Admiral Shen Jilang, commander of the 71st Squadron Detachment, was the biggest factor causing the 73rd Squadron in this incident.

At the same time, the newspaper's commentary also hinted that Vice Admiral Zhao Zidong of the Seventh Mobile Fleet also made a major mistake in the process of commanding, and at that time, Vice Admiral Zhao Zidong did not immediately support the 73rd Fleet, but instead ordered the fleet to deploy a defensive formation and sent a large number of warplanes to reconnoiter everywhere, so that he missed the most precious 10 minutes.

Then he criticized Rear Admiral Qian Haoan, chief designer of the Xing'an-class air defense cruiser and director of the Shipbuilding Department of the Ministry of Naval Shipbuilding, accusing Rear Admiral Qian Haoan of one-sidedly focusing on anti-aircraft firepower when designing the ship, but ignoring the underwater protection capability of the ship.

This kind of accusation made Rear Admiral Qian Haoan of the Shipbuilding Department very angry, and he said in an interview with reporters that night: All the warship designs of the Shipbuilding Department and the trade-offs of all surnames are subordinated to the overall development strategy of the navy, and he put down his arrogance, if I am given enough tonnage and there is no limit to the funds, even if I design an invincible warship, there will be no problem at all. The question is, will the Navy promise not to limit tonnage and funding? Impossible things.

Not only was there a lot of public opinion from the outside world, but even a large-scale investigation was carried out within the navy, from the design of the Hung Yen-class air defense cruisers to the various tactical arrangements of the 73rd and 71st Squadrons in the battle, trying to find out the root causes.

In order to alleviate the huge pressure brought by the navy and the country, Vice Admiral Zhao Zidong did not retreat in a hurry when the 73rd Squadron suffered heavy losses, but let the Hindu and several other injured warships return to the Greek port for emergency repairs, and then took the main force of the Seventh Mobile Fleet to continue to approach Venice at night.

In the early morning of the following day, the Seventh Mobile Fleet dispatched the first wave of attack planes, followed by a second wave an hour later, and a third wave at 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

In the three waves of attack planes, the two aircraft carriers of the Seventh Mobile Fleet launched a total of more than 300 sorties of carrier-based aircraft, and concentrated on bombing the port of Venice in northwestern Italy. At the same time, the Air Force also dispatched more than 100 sorties of B11 and B16 bombers and more than 200 sorties of F5E fighters to Venice in the afternoon to bomb.

In the evening, a US aircraft carrier that arrived also sent more than 50 carrier-based planes to attack the port of Venice.

The next day, the bombing campaign was repeated on one side again.

By this time, the last remaining naval port of the Axis powers in the Mediterranean had been bombed into ruins.

Judging from the above actions, the Seventh Mobile Fleet's attack on the port of Venice can be regarded as a success, but due to the sinking of the Zisong and the heavy damage of the Hindu, Zhao Zidong was still under great pressure, and this successful operation only slightly mitigated the negative impact.

As with the Battle of Polycastelon a few months earlier, the assault on the port of Venice was not large, but the impact was enormous.

"Nowadays, there are still too many war correspondents in our army, and there is a lack of effective control means, otherwise these two incidents would not have been linked!" Chen Cai was dissatisfied with the domestic attention to the Battle of Polycastlöm and the air raid on the port of Venice.

"According to me, the current domestic press control is still too lax, and now that the situation is tense, it is necessary to further strengthen the control of the press, especially the control of military news!" Chen Cai said.

As the domestic economy gets better and better, the people's lives are getting better and better, and at the same time, the domestic demand for press freedom is getting higher and higher, and in this case, China actually began to relax press control in the thirties. In other words, among the many institutions of the political axe, there is actually no institution that supervises and controls the news, and this kind of institution is impossible for any normal country to set up openly. There are two institutions that control the news in China, one is the Propaganda Department of the Socialist Party of China, but this Propaganda Department of the Socialist Party is a party-set agency, but it does not have law enforcement power or administrative power, so it is more of a public opinion guidance agency, that is to say, it rarely directly supervises public opinion, but mainly guides.

The slogan of the Propaganda Department is: When a lie is told 10,000 times, the lie becomes the truth!

The other is the Editorial Department under the Investigation Bureau, which was a newly established agency of the Investigation Bureau in the twenties, whose ostensible function is to collect domestic public opinion trends and provide public opinion basis for the central government's decision-making, but they are more responsible for the supervision of domestic public opinion. However, because the constitution clearly stipulates that the people have provisions such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press, most of the means used by this editorial department to supervise domestic public opinion are also in other ways, such as when a newspaper or magazine publishes a bad report, then the investigation bureau will adopt other methods to supervise it, such as arbitrarily detaining a newspaper with a crime of anti-country and endangering social stability, and finally seizing it.

"Now the domestic media is also acting too much, thinking that after more than ten years of news control, they think they want to say whatever they want!" Chen Jingyun maintains a moral high point in front of outsiders, but in front of Chen Cai, he talks a lot, and he doesn't care about any moral image at all.

Chen Cai, as Chen Jingyun's most powerful personal assistant, has been Chen Jingyun's confidant for more than 30 years in charge of the Investigation Bureau. Over the years, Chen Jingyun has done countless dirty things, most of which have been done through Chen Cai's hands, and cleaning again and again is Chen Cai's specialty.

It can be said that if you want to say that the person who knows Chen Jingyun the best in the world, it must be Chen Cai.

The relationship between these two people has always been very special, Chen Cai never regarded himself as a subordinate in front of Chen Jingyun, but regarded himself as a domestic slave, and now in the whole of China, he Chen Cai alone still calls Chen Jingyun a young master.

And Chen Jingyun also treats Chen Cai as a family member, and several of Chen Jingyun's children have to respectfully call Uncle Chen when they see Chen Cai.

It is precisely because of the relationship model between the two of them that they have been supporting each other for more than 30 years, Chen Jingyun has blocked countless attacks for Chen Cai, and in the past few decades, there have been many people who shouted that Chen Cai is a butcher and a terrorist leader, and countless people in the military and political two terms want Chen Cai to die without a place to be buried. If Chen Jingyun hadn't been protected, Chen Cai would have asked the people of the military and political positions to divide the bodies of the five horses.

As for Chen Cai, as always, he gave Chen Jingyun a black cauldron, using his monstrous power to do all kinds of disgraceful things for Chen Jingyun.

Chen Jingyun continued: "From now on, we must strengthen the guidance of domestic public opinion, and everyone in the whole country will know about it!" ”

In Chen Jingyun's view, whether it was the Battle of Polycastel at the beginning of the year or the Battle of Venice a few days ago, they were just small-scale battles that could not attract his attention, and what could make Chen Jingyun pay attention was the battles of the entire front, such as the Ninth Army's attack on Yugoslavia and Romania now, and in these two major battles, he did not need to know about many small-scale battles under his subordinates. Whether it is victory or defeat, he doesn't need to know, what he wants is very simple, that is, the final victory.

As for the slight losses in this process, it would not have made him frown at all, if it were not for the vigorous reporting of the domestic media, Chen Jingyun would probably not have known that there were 400 soldiers who died for the revival of China in Polycastelon, not to mention the small-scale naval battles in which there was only one destroyer battlefield and one cruiser heavily damaged.

At the beginning of the Amami naval battle, several battleships and many large cruisers were disabled, two aircraft carriers were heavily damaged, and a large cruiser was sunk, and destroyers and cruisers lost even more, but such losses could not move Chen Jingyun, it can be seen that it is difficult to attract Chen Jingyun's attention when a destroyer is sunk and a cruiser is heavily damaged.

"Understood!" Chen Cai said: "The editorial department is already planning relevant actions, and there will never be such a large-scale influence of public opinion in the future, but the actions of our investigation bureau still need the cooperation of the military!" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "I will say hello to the military and let them take care of those war correspondents!" ”
