Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 844 Order
"Okay. Tell Shangluo and he can decide when to take action. Leave the rest to the court. I will be fully prepared."

Zhu Xianfen put down his cell phone and grabbed the red phone on the table: "How is Shuilong?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty. The Water Dragon has been on standby since 48 hours ago, and hydrogen fuel is being replenished continuously. The pilot Zhang Xuanling has entered the cockpit an hour ago and is ready to launch at any time."

"Send my order to launch. The target is New Antioch. In addition, send a message to the front line and issue Victoria's warrant, asking the entire city of New Antioch to evacuate the current position immediately. No waiting until the expiration date."

"understand!"

"Then, pick up Marquis Yanping for me. I want to speak to him." He took a sip of tea. Although the next thing was very important, everything was progressing step by step and he did not panic.

Overseas Pontianak, on the equator. The two aviation teams of Lanfang Navy [Jie Sheng] and [Cheng Sheng] are on guard at the edge of the launch site.

Yanping Marquis Zheng Shijie stands in the command tower of the Jiesheng armored aircraft carrier. This ship is also the flagship of the Lanfang Navy. According to the navy's tradition, many signal flags are hoisted - the top layer is the "duty flag" with a red sun on a yellow background, which is a small triangular flag. The flag language means "the ship is operating" "Mid", this is a functional flag. Under the duty flag is the huge Big Dipper flag with a long tradition. This flag retains the shape of the sailing battleship era, and the flag slogan is "The entire fleet listens to my order." The Big Dipper flags used in major battles will be collected in museums and commemorated as auspiciousness.

Before going to sea this time, the Victory also specially changed into a new Big Dipper flag. Because everyone familiar with the matter knows that this mission may affect the entire course of human history.

The Big Dipper with white stars on a black background is fluttering in the equatorial sea breeze. On the horizon, a tall black tower standing abruptly on the sea is breathing white mist, like a dragon god controlling the sea. The black color is heat-insulating paint, with the word "水龙" on it, which is as wide as the "tower" body. This is the fully prepared Water Dragon launch vehicle, a complete doomsday weapon.

"Bring it here." He took the phone, motioned for others to get out of the way, and walked to the terrace outside the command tower. "Your Majesty, it's me."

"What should I say? Just launch it or what to do?"

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor wants to speak directly to the Marquis."

"Guo surname! The big one is here!" The messenger who ran over holding the phone said the previously agreed password.
If he directly said "launching a doomsday weapon", even Zheng Shijie, who was the Marquis of Yanping, would be frightened. So he asked the messenger to use a more tactful way and said to him, "The big one is coming" and asked him to think about it as a buffer.

"Yanping Hou Shijie." He said.

Similarly, Zhu Xianfen also used his professional title to refer to him.

On such a serious occasion, he didn't call him "Brother Ye" or "Brother Huohua" like before. In formal situations, he used his professional title.

In formal occasions, in addition to calling these military vassals their positions, there is an ancient tradition of calling them by family name instead of surname.

Zhu Xianfen did not use either the original surname Zheng or the national surname Zhu. Yanpinghou is the surname of Zheng Shijie - Yanpinghou Shijie. This title, like Qin Wangzheng and Qi Wangxin, has a long history.

At the same time, according to the rules of the respectful speech system, the degree of respect of the title also has levels. You should not call your superiors by their first names. The higher the degree of respect, the more you should avoid names in various ways.

Zhu Xianfen directly called Zheng Shijie by his "name", which was an order from above. Combined with the surname "Yanping Hou", it means that the next thing is a sacred order issued by the emperor to his vassals.

Just the title "Yanping Hou Shijie" made Zheng Shijie understand 80% of the current situation.

What happens next will be very important. At the same time, it is also very serious. These words may even be recorded in history - the historian may even be listening on the other end of the phone, preparing to write them down in a daily note.

"I'm here." Zheng Shijie answered the emperor's words, and then waited for Zhu Xianfen's further instructions.

"The scene is left to you. Prepare to launch the Water Dragon."

"Understood. Prepare to launch the Water Dragon launch vehicle - and its payload - into orbit above New Antioch."

"As for the payload, you and I know what it is. It may be a doomsday weapon. As the name suggests, it can make the sky collapse and the earth collapse, mountains and rivers change color, city walls turn into mounds, rich soil turns into scorched earth, and creatures turn into powder. ”

"clear."

"So, I know that as the commander of the scene, you may have some hesitations - you may be thinking about what the ordinary people in New Antioch should do."

"Kindness has no power, and I know that. If a trolley is going to kill a person or a row of people, I know what to choose."

"No, I am calling you to tell you, and I want you to tell all the participants in this mission that you do not need to make a moral choice. All of you do not need to. Because I will be responsible."

"Huh?" Zheng Shijie was a little surprised. He originally thought that Zhu Xianfen called him to do ideological work and persuade him not to be "feminine" and not to have "baggage". I didn't expect to say this.

"If you haven't understood it yet, let me make it clearer - no matter what impact this operation has, I am responsible for the whole thing. In other words, my entire lineage, my descendants The emperor and all my ancestors will be responsible for this."

"No, no, you don't have to."

"To accept the country's filth is to be the ruler of the country, and to be the country's ominous is to be the king of the world. I know what I am doing. As the emperor who is destined by heaven, I hold the power of the world on behalf of Emperor Taizu Gao, so I can not only represent my own heirs, I It can also represent Taizu Emperor Gao himself and my other ancestors. I am responsible for this matter, whether it is karma or resentment - and I know how to take responsibility."

"Is there any way?" Zheng Shijie was so shocked that he even forgot his title. Because he could tell from Zhu Xianfen's words that he didn't just say that he was responsible. In other words, Zhu Xianfen seems to not only bear moral responsibility, but also practical responsibility. He seems to actually have a way with this whole thing.

"Of course, there is a way. I am not a balloon. How can I just say that I will accept the karma and resentment? If I said I will be responsible, then of course I have a way to take responsibility - I declare that even if [Heaven and Earth are unified] in Shin'anjo at this moment No one would be permanently harmed by the explosion without warning."
