2495. Orman-Tagge's ambition
Orman-Tagge walked quickly in the Tagge Company headquarters building, with hurried steps. He was wearing a pair of funny-looking red lens sunglasses, and his body was a little fat, so he looked like an uncle traveling on the beach.
The oppressive feeling that he once had after undergoing transformation, with a muscular body and a burly body, disappeared with the sunglasses and weight gain.
Since his eyes were completely burned out by Darth-Vader using Lightsaber, he tried every means to restore his eyesight. However, the damage caused to him by Darth-Vader was accompanied by Dark Side Force, making it impossible for him to heal his eyes no matter what. Even installing a prosthetic eye cannot be done because the remaining Dark Side Force will immediately destroy the electronic components of the prosthetic eye.
In the end, he had no choice but to put on these sunglasses for himself. In fact, this is a very sophisticated instrument that can form a simulated biological magnetic field and then transmit optical signals directly to the optic nerve, allowing Orman-Tagge to see things.
Therefore, he should never be able to leave these sunglasses in his life.
And during the treatment process, Orman-Tagge neglected to manage his body because of anger and hatred. Being easily defeated by Darth-Vader also shook his faith, and he began to reflect on whether his power was really so unbearable.
This made him gain weight and look more like a playboy.
However, this appearance is just an illusion. At this moment, Orman-Tagge is at the peak of his life. He got His Majesty the Emperor's approval to establish Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance, and he served as Alliance Chairman. Through this alliance, he gained the power to mobilize the resources of many military-industrial complexes, including Kuat Drive Yards, Corellia Engineering Company, and Sith Fleet Systems.
It can be said that Orman-Tagge at this moment controls half of the Galactic Empire industrial system!
The many projects currently being carried out by the Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance basically represent the development direction of the Galactic Empire's future military technology, which is completely in full swing.
Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer, Dark Trooper, TIE Interceptor, Star Killer... and other super technologies are now hosted by the Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance. The resources they have in their hands are terrifying!
Orman-Tagge is fulfilling his ambition step by step - to replace Das-Vader and become the number two figure of the Galactic Empire!
The power and resources in his hands are getting bigger and bigger. Coupled with his noble and wealthy background, and his behavior of never interfering in the affairs of front-line officers, although he belongs to the technical officer faction, on the contrary, he is very close to the traditional aristocratic officer class of Imperial military.
In fact, from the differences between the major factions of Imperial military mentioned before, we can also see that the contradiction between Orman-Tagge and Das-Vader is actually completely irreconcilable.
Orman-Tagge belongs to aristocratic and wealthy families, while Das-Vader woos low-level officers; Orman-Tagge is an officer of ordinary people, and Das-Vader belongs to Dark Followers.
Their positions are completely opposite from any angle.
The seemingly unrealistic ambitions of Orman-Tagge are actually, from a deeper perspective, a counterattack by the aristocratic officer group that has been in control of the military power since the Galactic Republic era against the Dark Followers and lower-level officers who have just emerged in the Galactic Empire era.
A person's ambitions can be comical or unrealistic. But if this person's ambition is still being implemented step by step, then you have to consider the hidden interest entanglements behind this funny ambition.
The reason why Orman-Tagge is able to unite into super military-industrial complexes such as Kuat Drive Yards and Corellia Engineering Company is not only because he now controls Tagge Company, which is currently one of the top economic entities in the Galactic Empire, but also because his ambitions are supported by a large number of noble families.
And now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lies in front of Orman-Tagge!
He quickly walked into the headquarters of Tagge Company and found his third brother, who was also the director of the research department of Tagge Company - Silas-Tagge.
The relationship between Orman-Tagge and Silas-Tagge is the closest. Orman will often consult Silas about any plans. And their positions and opinions can remain consistent most of the time.
Silas-Tagge are busy among a bunch of strange machines, seeming to be preparing a very unique reagent formula. The readings obtained by scanning the sunglasses of Orman-Tagge show that the temperature of this light blue reagent can be maintained at minus 273°C!
However, he Orman-Tagge was already used to the novelty gadgets that his third brother often tinkered with. He directly grabbed Silas-Tagge by the shoulders, pulled him out of the study, and said in a deep voice, "I have good news here, Silas."
Silas-Tagge was startled, and the control of the instrument also stopped. The temperature of the bottle of reagent quickly rose to minus 250°C, and the test failed.
However, although he was very unhappy that his experiment was interrupted, he did not dare to show any disobedience to his elder brother. He turned around and followed Orman's words and asked, "What good news makes you so excited? Brother."
"The DS-1 combat space station project, also known as Death Star, was attacked! Geonosians betrayed, they colluded with Separatists! Now Death Star is seriously damaged!" Orman-Tagge said.
"If I remember correctly, many of Death Star's key systems were developed by us. Now that Death Star project has been attacked, I don't think this is good news." Silas-Tagge said.
"You have to know that His Majesty the Emperor was furious because of Geonosians's betrayal. Today on Imperial Senate, he cursed almost everyone who appeared in front of him bloody, and even executed four members of the council." Orman-Tagge said with great excitement, "You can't imagine the atmosphere in the parliament today. Bail-Senator Organa, who used to oppose His Majesty the Emperor all day long, didn't even dare to fart today."
Silas-Tagge shook his head and said, "I still don't understand why you would regard such a bad disaster as good news?"
"Because this time is our best chance to take control of Death Star!" Orman-Tagge said loudly, "Didn't you notice? Governor Tarkin was kicked out of the project by Orson-Krennic! And Krennic's own incompetence led to Geonosians's betrayal. Now, the Empire's most powerful and largest super project is actually in a power vacuum! As long as we seize the opportunity, we can definitely obtain the command of Death Star!"
