1796. The real core wealthy family (Part 1)
Tang Xiao looked at the proud female patriarch in front of him, smiled faintly, and said, "You know my conditions, Madam Sanya."
"You want Tagge family to betray Galactic Empire. This is simply impossible. Compared with Tagge family, my life is nothing." Sanya-Tagge said seriously, "Even if I really die like this Go and hand over the family to the eldest son Orman-Tagge. The maximum loss he will cause cannot be greater than the loss caused by the family betraying the Empire and turning to support Duchy of Dawn - because that will mean complete destruction."
"You seem to have no confidence in yourself, your family, or me..." Tang Xiao said calmly.
The result of her rejection is normal and expected. After all, Tagge family is no better than Urlan family, the former Rendili StarDrive. The latter is already the abandoned son of Galactic Republic, and has begun to be squeezed out of the core of power of Galactic Republic.
But Tagge family is different. This family is deeply rooted and has a deeper heritage than Urlan family. It has also been loyal to Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire for a long time. What's more, they have no internal or external troubles. With their strength, it is almost certain that they will enter the core of the Galactic Empire's power and hold the most critical position.
How could such a family betray Galactic Empire?
Therefore, he just said this and did not expect Tagge family's betrayal.
Sanya-Tagge's expression was slightly pitiful, and he said, "Maybe you will think that Duchy of Dawn is in the war with Galactic Republic, He has gained the upper hand many times and even repelled the huge fleet led by Cassio, so Duchy of Dawn will still have the same advantage over Galactic Empire in the future, right?"
"I'd like to hear your opinion, madam." Tang Xiao said.
Sanya-Tagge put on her clothes with graceful movements. The noble temperament revealed in her movements exuded a mature charm. Then she slowly walked to the other side, poured herself a glass of wine, sat down on the sofa, took a sip, and then said, "In the previous war, Galactic Republic only mobilized less than one-tenth of the force."
Tang Xiao looked as normal. He was familiar with the plot of "Star Wars", so he was naturally very clear about this matter.
"Galactic Republic was dragged into the war in a hurry." Sanya-Tagge took another sip of wine. She seemed to be very interested in this dry red wine. "We almost got Count Dooku in Geonosis in the morning. After signed the secession agreement, the war started in the afternoon. Before that, even if Palpatine promulgated "Military Creation Act" after the Naboo conflict ten years ago, we actually didn't take it seriously at all."
Tang Xiao nodded, he knew that Sanya was telling Clone Wars from the perspective of those wealthy nobles.
"Grand Army of the Republic was established, but given Galactic Republic's financial situation, it is simply impossible to afford such a huge military expenditure. And Palpatine did not put pressure on us, because we had already stated that we would support him... What he really put pressure on were those disobedient planets and disobedient congressmen." Sanya-Tagge continued, "So, is Galactic Republic poor? That's really poor. They even have to hold a meeting to discuss the purchase of one more warship. But so what? You should know that the entire war, our Tagge family expenses, are not even comparable to the birthday party I held last year."
Tang Xiao frowned slightly. He knew that Galactic Republic was corrupt, rigid, and lacked power, but he really didn't expect that Galactic Republic would reach such a point.
"If we really want to support a war, after ten years of preparation for war after "Military Creation Act", the number of warships of various types in Galactic Republic will exceed one million!" Sanya-Tagge said solemnly, "If that is true, the so-called Separatists of Count Dooku will not survive more than a month."
However, she also smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But this is impossible to happen. Each of us has our own concerns and considerations, and we must not give our precious power to Galactic Republic. Galactic Republic's organization is fundamentally This eliminates this possibility. Neither the Galactic Republic government nor the parliament has any binding force on us. Moreover, Separatists is not bad at all, it just stimulates the market and consumption in this backwater of the galaxy. And... the war..."
The smile on Sanya-Tagge's mouth became a little unpredictable, "The war has given us countless opportunities... As long as we hold high the banner of war, we can do whatever we want. Tagge Company's output value increased by 1.2% during the two and a half years of the war. To give you an intuitive comparison - in two and a half years, Tagge Company earned a star sector."
Tang Xiao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. Standing here, she was so beautiful and so weak. He only needed to reach out and hold her gently to kill her. However, she is so powerful. She only needs to say a word, and thousands of planets will operate according to her the Will, and countless resources and materials will flow for her ideas.
Just like Urlan family, this is the heritage and domineering power of the oldest wealthy noble in the galaxy!
However...Tang Xiao Although he didn't show it, his heart was filled with ridicule. Galactic Empire will be the era when they reach their peak, but it is also the beginning of their fall into Abyss.
They are powerful, but also corrupt.
Under that extremely solid shell, there was a mass of decayed crumbs that was vulnerable to a single blow.
Sanya-Tagge took a deep breath and took another sip of wine, with a charming blush on his face. "We know all this, and Palpatine also knows it. And, do you know why we support Palpatine?"
She leaned on the back of the sofa, looking a little lazy, "Because we are all tired... tired of playing democratic games with those impoverished Outer Rim Territories... We are strong, rich, wise, and superior. Outer Rim What qualifications do those primitive planets have to talk to us on an equal footing? Rim Faction Senator? Hahahahahaha..."
Taking advantage of this hint of drunkenness, Sanya-Tagge laughed, "Before the election of the Speaker, we just lightly crossed our fingers. At that time, the leader of Rim Faction Senator, Orn Free-Ta, immediately gave up the so-called belief he had insisted on for a long time... Because in front of us, he deeply knew how insignificant the Rynoth he represented... was. Hehehehehe..."
Sanya-Tagge stood up again, went to the wine cabinet, and poured himself a full glass of red wine. "Galactic Republic's system allows us to have such a powerful power, but cannot use it. We are... tired of it."
