1793. Madam, you don't want your son to...
"Lead the family defense fleet... to fight against pirates..." Cassio-Tagge trembled. "Who doesn't know that our family's main business is in Inner Rim and Core Worlds! Who doesn't know that although our family's defense fleet has been constantly updated for thousands of years, it has never been dispatched!"
"You should feel honored, Cassio." Sanya-Tagge said, "Our family's defense fleet has always maintained a scale of 5,000 warships, although it is composed of small and medium-sized warships. Lord, but this scale has exceeded that of most planets in the galaxy. Moreover, there are 1 million family defense armies, all of which will be under your leadership. In this way, you are not buried as a top student in the military academy Halo."
When she said this, she actually said half of it to Tang Xiao next to her.
That's right, Tagge family is one of the founder families of Galactic Republic when it was founded 25,000 years ago. It can be said to be one of the oldest and most noble families in the galaxy!
Their family runs a giant comprehensive enterprise, Tagge Company. It can be said that its hundreds of subsidiaries are involved in all aspects, and its business covers the entire galaxy Core Worlds and Inner Rim.
And as Sanya-Tagge said, in order to protect the interests of their family, Tagge family has a fleet of up to 5,000 warships and an army of 1 million people! And this force, whether it was when Clone Wars was at its most intense, or later when Palpatine issued a decree as the speaker to cancel all Planetary Defense Fleet, it had no impact on this force!
Palpatine would not be stupid enough to challenge the intricate forces of such an ancient and powerful family, not to mention that Tagge family actually has a very upright ass. As soon as the war broke out, they cut off business ties with the five major corporate giants participating in Confederacy of Independent Systems (Trade Federation, InterGalactic Banking Clan, Corporate Alliance, Technological Alliance, Merchant Guilds), and stood firmly on the side of Galactic Republic.
After the Empire was established, Tagge family was also one of the first families to come out to express support for Palpatine to become emperor.
This is why Modell Sector Raid failed so miserably before, but whether it was Palpatine or Dunn-Vyssexx, even Dunn-Vyssexx is very uncooperative Wilhuff-Tarkin, and has never thought of making a fuss about Cassio-Tagge, Fleet Commander, in order to attack the other party politically.
On the contrary, they tacitly defended Cassio-Tagge's battle and tried every means to downplay his failure. Even in every sense, Cassio-Tagge is definitely to blame for this fiasco.
Tang Xiao faced Sanya's words and just smiled slightly. There are only 5,000 warships, most of which are small and medium-sized warships. Nothing can threaten him. The only thing he is curious about is why Tagge family, who has always firmly supported the current government of the galaxy, both in the original plot and now, suddenly became interested in him.
Even patriarch of the family came secretly.
You must know that for people of Sanya-Tagge's level, every move they make receives widespread attention. She has to come to Dawn Star Planet in person, and the various preparations for disguise must be made. It can be said that the cost is huge and the movements are precise, which is unique!
But he didn't speak, because on the other side, Cassio-Tagge quit first.
"I refuse!" Cassio-Tagge said loudly.
"What did you say?" Sanya-Tagge had an angry look on his elegant face, "What on earth are you thinking about? Are you used to being a prisoner?"
"I refuse!" Cassio-Tagge still insisted, "If I go back now, what difference will it make to death!! If you ask me to lead the family defense fleet, does that mean Imperial military has given up on me!?"
"Do you think Imperial military will still use you after suffering such a disastrous defeat? No. Because you are not even a the Empire soldier now! You are just a captured former Galactic Republic general!" Sanya-Tagge said in a higher tone. It can be seen that she is also very disappointed with this son.
"This failure should not be blamed on me!" Cassio-Tagge shouted loudly.
"Do you think the support given to you is not enough? Do you think that with your qualifications, why do you Commander take charge of this battle? Why do you think Dark Jedi Knight led by Jan-Droga and the others came to support you so easily? Do you still Don't you understand? After giving you so much support, you still gave Palpatine a disastrous defeat! Don't you think our family has suffered enough from you?" Sanya-Tagge said loudly.
"No! Things shouldn't be like this!! I... my ability is by no means limited to this!!" Cassio-Tagge said loudly.
He has dreamed of being a soldier since he was a child, dreaming of galloping among the stars and the sea! Dreaming of commanding an army to conquer the east and west to make achievements! To this end, he worked harder than others, and with very excellent results, he was ranked first in the military academy, far behind the second place!
He thought that he could still achieve this without relying on the strength of his family. He believed that he definitely had such ability!
But... all this ended completely after Modell Sector Raid!
Modell Sector Raid, was his peak, but also his end?
"This is absolutely impossible!!" Cassio-Tagge said his thoughts loudly.
Tang Xiao touched his chin and watched the quarrel between mother and son with interest, not knowing what he was thinking.
"This is non-negotiable!! If you stay here as a prisoner for one day, the shame of the family will be one more day!" Sanya-Tagge flushed with excitement. If the person in front of her was not her son, she would have turned away and left him to fend for himself.
She turned around suddenly and looked at Tang Xiao, and said, "I made you laugh, Your Excellency. It's still the ransom just now, one billion Imperial credits in cash, plus a road leading to Inner Rim Territories's right to use the secret channel. Your spacecraft can use this channel after we check that no people or materials for military purposes have entered. Don't worry about what he thinks. I have a security robot and I can carry him back."
"Besides that, how do you plan to cooperate with me? Lady Tagge. As high as you are, you shouldn't know that sooner or later there will be another war between Palpatine and I, right?" Tang Xiao said with a sneer.
"I just hope that there will be more cooperation opportunities with Duchy of Dawn. I believe that with Tagge Company's strength, we can easily achieve any cooperation you want." Sanya-Tagge said.
"How about hedging your bets... Haha, interesting..." Tang Xiao touched his chin, "In that case, I have a suggestion..."
"Please tell me."
Tang Xiao crossed his hands to support his chin and said slowly, "Madam, you don't want to see your son sink to this level, right?"
