1801. Heirs
"You should understand that I am not interested in your so-called plan." Tang Xiao glanced at Alexia lightly, "However, if you make a big enough contribution, then I will consider gifting a planet to you. And you will also become... Queen on that planet."
Alexia, however, did not comment on Tang Xiao's proposal. She just smiled indifferently and said, "My proposal is valid at any time, Mr. Grand Duke of Dawn."
After saying that, cicada-like wings sprouted from her back again, and she flew out of the window while vibrating.
Tang Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to her, connected to Volgograd-Kanidi's communication, and said, "Sanya-Tagge and I have reached an agreement. Come down, Cassio-Tagge will become a member of the navy. As mentioned before, let him follow you. I have noticed that many interstellar pirates have appeared in Modell Sector recently, let him practice his skills."
Interstellar pirates can be said to be a big problem in the entire galaxy, including the newly established Duchy of Dawn, which will also face the same problem. This is why Duchy of Dawn also maintains a large escort fleet at all times.
Some of those interstellar pirates came from other places, and some were criminals and thugs born on the local planet. Once these people obtained the spacecraft and made some simple modifications, they would immediately become threatening interstellar pirates.
And because of the maturity and popularization of interstellar navigation technology, these interstellar pirates are basically impossible to guard against, and a radical cure is impossible. The only way is to escort, so that these pirates dare not take action, or they can be repelled when they do.
Take Modell Sector as an example. The commonly mentioned planets are Annaj Planet, Vaxian Planet, Sonell Planet, etc., less than ten. But in fact, in the entire Modell Sector, if you include some sporadic colonies or planets with inhabited activities, the number ranges from 190 to 450...
In fact, almost no one wants to pay attention to those scattered planets.
Then if we change the statistical method and compare the developed areas and undeveloped areas of all planets, we will find that at least 83% of the areas are undeveloped. Even Modell Sector, the most developed Annaj Planet, has only about 70% of its developed areas. In other words, the remaining 30% of areas with complex terrain may also be harboring filth and evil.
Therefore, it is generally believed that an interstellar regime has complete control over the area under its jurisdiction, which is actually false. Including Galactic Empire, the control of the planets under its jurisdiction is also achieved by controlling the administrative centers of these planets. This does not mean that it can control every area of a planet.
Therefore, Modell Sector has just experienced a large-scale invasion by Galactic Republic, and in order to defend Dawn Star Planet, it pulled all the surrounding escort fleets to fight. Although Republic Fleet was successfully repelled, the hidden danger is that with the mobilization and loss of the escort fleet, Modell Sector's interstellar pirates began to appear on a large scale and became rampant.
This was Tang Xiao's arrangement. Cassio-Tagge was sent to fight against pirates, and he was also asked to learn from Volgograd-Kanidi, so that this talented man with a lot of theory but no experience could grow up.
He didn't expect Cassio-Tagge to grow to such a high level, but he just hoped to keep in touch with Sanya-Tagge through him and create a bridge for those who would later intervene in Tagge family's internal affairs. Moreover, it is obvious that the future growth of Cassio-Tagge also shows that it also has many advantages. For Duchy of Dawn, which is expanding rapidly, this is enough.
However, Volgograd-Kanidi's political thinking obviously did not reach this level. He looked a little unhappy, frowned and said, "With all due respect, Your Excellency. Cassio-Tagge does have merit in theoretical knowledge, but this person is too ambitious, impulsive and irritable, and is not a qualified general."
Tang Xiao smiled faintly and asked, "Are you serious? Doesn't he have any redeeming qualities at all?"
Cassio-Tagge in the original plot, but all the way to Imperial military's highest level, he is the commander-in-chief of all the army troops stationed on Death Star and the ship defense array. Even if he has a strong Tagge family background, who can reach that level without some background? Being able to stand out is his greatest ability.
And in the original plot, Cassio-Tagge is known for being cautious and rigorous, which is completely opposite to the evaluation of Volgograd-Kanidi. It shows that as he grew up, he also got rid of the irritable shortcomings of his youth.
Therefore, Cassio-Tagge is indeed a person with great potential. Although he may not be as good as those monster-like characters from major games and movies in the hibernation cabin of the mothership, he is still a very practical talent.
You can't rely on the talents in the hibernation cabin everywhere, right? Sometimes, there will be a lot of conflicts between those geniuses who are amazingly talented but have outstanding personalities. Just like the previous conflict between Ling Liang and Sefrans-Tann.
"In my opinion, I would rather teach the fresh graduates who graduated from Dawn Star Planet Naval Academy than be with this outsider." Kanidi said honestly.
"Then give it a try, maybe he will surprise you. This matter has been decided, don't let me push this matter in the form of orders." Tang Xiao said lightly.
Kanidi took a deep breath, stopped talking, nodded and closed the communication.
However, Tang Xiao's affairs were not over yet. Soon, Helmut-Zemo knocked on the door and walked in. He said respectfully, "Grand Duke, if you want to catch up with As for the maiden flight ceremony of Endless-class Super Carrier, I think you must leave within today. In addition, for the Intelligence Department, Solomon Lane's first report on Modell Sector has also been submitted. You said before that you wanted to go there in person..."
Tang Xiao groaned, "Is time so tight?"
Zemo smiled slightly and said, "I think this is because you spent a lot of time on Sanya-Tagge, for four whole days. Of course, I believe you should be very happy with what happened in these four days. That woman seems to be very to your taste..."
A trace of cruelty appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "What I like is not her body itself, but the Halo in her body. Is there anything more pleasurable than holding the patriarch of the most powerful wealthy family in the galaxy in the palm of my hand and torturing her at will? Moreover, her spirit is very tough, and she can still maintain her consciousness after experiencing such torture. This makes me look forward to the day when I destroy her..."
"We are all eagerly looking forward to the arrival of this day, and we will do our best to achieve this goal. Grand Duke..." Zemo saluted respectfully again and said, "Moreover, what you have done for Sanya-Tagge also makes me even more excited..."
"Excited? Where is the excitement?" Tang Xiao asked.
"This shows me that you still maintain your interest in women despite your busy schedule." Zemo said with a smile, "In fact, everyone in the principality is also looking forward to the birth of your heir..."
Tang Xiao's face changed instantly, and the extremely terrifying Dark Side Force immediately pressed forward. This terrifying power made Zemo couldn't help but retreat, and finally fell to one knee with a pop!
His voice also became eerie and terrifying, "You want to say that I should give birth to an heir as an heir? Inherit to what? Inherit after my death?! Then should you tell me when I will die?"
Helmut-Zemo was extremely horrified, and cold sweat kept dripping. At this moment, he understood more deeply the violence hidden in Tang Xiao's heart! Even though he has become much better at controlling his emotions after Death Force became a master, this does not mean that the current Tang Xiao is an easy monarch to get along with!
"No... I dare not... I dare not... My Lord, you are the only one! Your Immortality is my biggest and most ardent hope! I dare not have any second thoughts!" Zemo kept kneeling on one knee, lowered his head and explained quickly, "I mean... if you, the Grand Duke, can have an heir born, after training, it will become a great help to our Fourth Civilization!"
"Hehehehe..." Tang Xiao walked over with a serious smile and gently helped Zemo up, but Dark Side's pressure did not go away at all. Zemo was dripping with cold sweat and still did not dare to show any slightness.
"When did you become so incapable of speaking? Zemo." Tang Xiao sneered, his cold hand gently swept across Zemo's throat, "To me, the descendant's The meaning is completely different. It's not even necessary. Do you understand? If I really die, I will bring the entire civilization to death! I don't need an heir. At the same time, I hope you can understand this."
"Yes... everything about us was created by you, sir. It is our honor to die for you..." Zemo said quickly.
Tang Xiao's expression instantly became sunny, the terrifying pressure was instantly swept away, and the cold and stagnant air in the room seemed to immediately become comfortable. He patted Zemo on the shoulder and said, "Of course, I also understand your concerns. I had never paid attention to my personal marriage problems before. It was not until more than ten years after Fourth Civilization was established that I finally got married to Adele-Ulan. After the marriage, I ignored her for a long time and did not touch her at all. From then until now, I have had sex with Adele many times, but there is no sign of pregnancy at all. It is natural for you to be anxious."
"Yes..." Although the pressure was gone, Zemo was still sweating. He was also reflecting on himself, maybe it was because Tang Xiao was in a good mood and his temper was much better recently, which made him slack off a little.
But the issue of heir is indeed the problem of every king. In addition, Tang Xiao has been exploring the way of Immortality, which makes him even more sensitive to this matter.
To suddenly mention this matter at this time was indeed because he was too carried away.
Zemo just wanted to slap himself twice right away.
But Tang Xiao stood there thinking for a while, his smile faded, and he said slowly, "However, in order to consolidate the relationship between Urlan family and I, we really need to have a child with Adele-Ulan. Please make arrangements and let her go to Semirres Planet with me to participate in the maiden flight ceremony of Endless-class Super Carrier."
"As ordered..." Zemo responded with his head lowered.
Eastern Outer Rim, Semirres Planet.
This is a planet located at the core of the Confederacy of Independent Systems control area. Together with these planets including Felucia, Dak Planet, Osus Planet, Raxus Prime, Mulcana planet, etc., it forms the main strength of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Confederacy of Independent Systems was already struggling at the end of Galactic Republic. Specifically, it started after Palpatine, who was still Chancellor of the Republic at the time, issued an order to recover the local defense fleets of all planets.
Galactic Republic used tens of thousands of recovered warships to launch a fierce attack on Confederacy of Independent Systems. These warships were generally old warships from the local defense fleet, and were mainly small and medium-sized warships. However, there were too many for Confederacy of Independent Systems to resist.
At that time, Galactic Republic gathered various armies and launched a six-pronged attack, launching a fierce counterattack against Confederacy of Independent Systems and Duchy of Dawn.
In this series of attacks, Confederacy of Independent Systems basically lost part of the Mid Rim sector occupied by General Grievous in launching Festival Offensive in the first year of Clone Wars, as well as Mid Rim and even a small part of Inner Rim Territories captured in the Mid Rim strategy operation launched in the beginning of the second year of the war.
At the same time, because Confederacy of Independent Systems lacked a strong enough planet to support it in the direction of Northeastern Territory, it was overwhelmed by the Republic Ninth Army and Tenth Army, and finally fell completely.
It was also this series of victories that allowed Governor of Republic Ninth Army Dunn-Vesex to first shine as King of the North, laying a solid foundation for his subsequent rapid rise.
In addition, in the direction of Southeastern Territory, Fourth Army of Wilhuff-Tarkin attacked all the way with the 15th, 16th, and 17th armies, recovered Ryloth, and rebuilt Fourteenth Army.
During this process, Confederacy of Independent Systems's actual control area was reduced to the Eastern Outer Rim area. And if Sefrans-Tann hadn't launched a battle in the outer star area of Mandalore to destroy the Republic Second Army main fleet that Mace-Windu had taken away, maybe their life would have been even more difficult.
Of course, strictly speaking, even if the Southwest Territory where the Duchy of Dawn is located has made peace with the Galactic Empire alone, the Northwest Territory of the galaxy controlled by the InterGalactic Banking Clan (M), Fourth Group and Geth is also within the control range of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in a sense. However, the only area that the Count Dooku can really control now is indeed the Eastern Territory area.
This star area is naturally the star area where Confederacy of Independent Systems is the most powerful.
And Semirres Planet is now Confederacy of Independent Systems one of the most important industrial worlds.
