2500. Great Purge (Part 2)
That's right, those senior officials and Elder Council members who really have the ability to prevent this from happening are silent! The ones making the biggest fuss now are actually just some relatively marginalized people!
Even Adelaide-Tagge is difficult to judge whether these people are really opposing or just acting.
There is really no way, Orman-Tagge now has too much power in the family.
Orman-Tagge is the eldest son of Sanya-Tagge, and was originally the first heir to the family. In addition, he was already known as a super genius at a young age. At the age of 17, he independently designed the L8-L9 combat robot that could compete with the B-1 combat robot. Not only that, he is also a Super Soldier, possessing extraordinary power.
He originally had a high reputation in the family, and the fact that he was the first heir made many elders and senior officials in the family stand by him, for no other reason than to hope to climb this big tree as soon as possible.
Because relatively speaking, the team around the current head of the family, Sanya-Tagge, was basically fixed, and it was even more difficult to get involved. Therefore, those who have no room for advancement but are outstandingly capable and ambitious people mostly gather around Orman-Tagge.
And as time went by, Orman-Tagge also began to constantly accuse Sanya-Tagge of his vacillating policies that prevented Tagge family from reaping the dividends of the war. He kept comparing it with the rise of Sith Fleet Systems, believing that it was because of Sanya's conservatism that he missed the opportunity. Otherwise, Tagge Company could easily take all of Sith Fleet Systems's current share. By that time, Tagge Company will be able to compete with Kuat Drive Yards just by taking out the military industry sector, let alone adding other fields.
Tagge Company will become the largest economic entity in the galaxy.
This prospect is too tempting, making Orman-Tagge's statement extremely provocative, and many people have joined him. In addition, Galactic Empire completely defeated Confederacy of Independent Systems later. At that time, Kingdom of Dawn, who was hiding in a corner, became the only enemy in the entire galaxy.
No one would think that Kingdom of Dawn had the slightest chance at that time, including most people in Tagge family.
Therefore, when Sanya-Tagge asked the family to keep a distance from the war and not invest a lot of resources in the war, and advocated war, advocated binding with the Galactic Empire, and advocated standing on the side of the winner, Orman-Tagge, his supporters completely overwhelmed Sanya.
Coupled with the fact that Palpatine was secretly fueling the flames behind the scenes, Orman-Tagge had the support of the emperor, so he was able to take action against Sanya-Tagge, eventually killing her and inheriting the position of patriarch.
In the original plot, Orman-Tagge did it. He brought Tagge family and the company to deeply bind Galactic Empire, established Corporate Administrative Bureau, rectified Galactic Empire's internal affairs, and gained Palpatine's appreciation, and his status rose. Although he has not reached the status of Empire's Second-in-Command that he desired, he is still one of the most powerful people among the Empire.
Then, he took Tagge family and fell into Abyss along with the Empire. In the end, what was preserved by Domina-Tagge was only a drop in the bucket of the power of Tagge Company in its heyday.
Tagge family, the former Galactic Empire first family, also declined.
Of course, now Sanya-Tagge did not die silently as in the original plot. Therefore, with a more mature and far-sighted mind, when she went to see Tang Xiao for treatment, she saw a side that no one else had seen -
Kingdom of Dawn's truly powerful side!
Sanya-Tagge, Galactic Empire has long since ceased to think that Galactic Empire has the ability to win this war. It is true to be on the side of the winner, but the winner will not be Galactic Empire.
But these are things that people at Tagge family cannot see now. Includes Adelaide-Tagge.
At this family summit, all she could see were the hands of Orman-Tagge covering the sky, and the whole family's deep sorrow.
Sure enough, after those people had enough noise, Orman-Tagge stood up and gave a passionate speech. He painted a very grand picture to everyone, building Death Star, which was recognized by His Majesty the Emperor, and commanded Death Star to help the emperor and the Empire eliminate all enemies. Then the family power naturally entered the military. The fourth brother Yuri - Tagge will become Imperial Marshal along the way, and the younger sister Domina - Tagge will enter the Order of the Sacred Circle and become a saint of the religious order.
Then, Tagge family will blossom in the fields of economy, politics, military, religion and other fields, becoming the actual controller of the entire Galactic Empire.
At that time, the guarantee for everyone here will be Sector Governor!
Sure enough, after Orman-Tagge's speeches ended, the real senior leaders of the family and Elder Council finally stood up and spoke.
Although the expression methods were different, they still expressed their agreement to this crazy plan of Orman-Tagge! The atmosphere at the summit venue became extremely heated, and almost everyone was discussing that glorious future. Not only that, they also expressed their kind words to Orman-Tagge who proposed this grand plan.
At this moment, Orman-Tagge stood in the center of the venue as if a king was coming, accepting everyone's worship and praise. The previous voices of opposition have all disappeared at this moment. This very clever atmosphere has made those who originally opposed sincerely no longer dare to speak at all.
Adelaide-Tagge sighed lightly. In the end, is it still you who holds the family's last line of defense?
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then pressed the speakerphone and shouted at the top of her lungs, "I object!"
The voices of everyone present disappeared, and countless pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, as if countless sharp swords pierced Adelaide's body from all angles.
"Oh, it seems that Finance Department finally wants to participate in our grand cause. Welcome." Orman-Tagge showed a bright smile and made a very artificial invitation gesture.
"Finance Department is opposed to this plan." Adelaide's expression returned coldly. At this moment, she was like an ice goddess, cold and beautiful, but her words were sharper than ice spikes!
"If this plan is implemented, then only destruction awaits Tagge family!" Adelaide said loudly, "We do not have enough funds and resources to complete the Death Star project. If we want to pass If Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance let Kuat Drive Yards and other military-industrial complexes share the responsibility, whether they can achieve their goals is a small problem. What is really fatal is that if these military-industrial complexes suddenly withdraw their investment in the later stage, then our company's assets will face the risk of being harvested!"
These very direct words made Orman-Tagge a little embarrassed. He said casually, "None of what you said can happen."
"Do you need me to analyze it for you from a more professional perspective?" Adelaide-Tagge responded tit-for-tat. She took out a memory and shook it.
Orman-Tagge stared at the memory with an ugly expression. His eyes unconsciously glanced several times at Felix-Tagge who was sitting behind Adelaide.
Of course he knows that his claim cannot withstand scrutiny, and he is also very aware of Adelaide's professional capabilities. Therefore, if Adelaide-Tagge really comes up with detailed data analysis, even if the essence of his project is hidden under the guise of falsehood, it will be exposed.
This will cause him to lose the support of his family immediately!
Orman-Tagge stared at Adelaide-Tagge. If possible, he even wanted to grab this bitch from the stage right now and kill her on the spot!
But no.
I only saw Adelaide-Tagge placing the memory in the playback device in front of them, preparing to project the content inside to everyone.
She glanced at Orman-Tagge and said coldly, "Your conspiracy will not succeed."
There was a snap, Adelaide-Tagge, press the projection button.
"Ah~~~~~~Oh~~~" A bone-numbing groan came, and then an unsightly image appeared on the giant holographic projection that could be seen by everyone in the entire venue.
Two unknown men and women, naked and entangled together... There is no doubt that this is a love action movie!
Seeing this scene, Adelaide-Tagge's slender eyes seemed to lose their sparkle in an instant. Such a huge blow and change caused her whole body to fall into a sluggish state, as if she had truly become an ice sculpture.
The assistant on the side had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly took down the memory, and then the ugly projection disappeared. However, before that, it had been played for more than ten seconds.
There were murmurs and then laughter.
"Oh, it seems, Mrs. Adelaide, do you want to tell us that you had a good time last night?" Orman-Tagge said very viciously. Although it was obvious that the two people on the projection just now were not Adelaide, his words made everyone think in this direction.
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!" The laughter gradually became unscrupulous. After seeing Orman-Tagge's attitude, those people began to laugh crazily. Even if they usually see Adelaide-Tagge like a mouse seeing a cat, but now, seeing that the once aloof cat has suffered such a major blow, they will naturally be very happy to come and add insult to injury.
Amidst countless ridicules, Adelaide-Tagge seemed to be a naked girl, at a loss in front of everyone.
"Things are out of control! This bastard Orman-Tagge, he really bribed Felix!!" In an inconspicuous corner, Sanya-Tagge said angrily.
"Their plans were all completed outside... Damn it!" Luna-Huan was a little unwilling, "Do you want us to do something now?!"
"Don't." Luna-Meng stopped his sister in a rare move, "It's hard to guarantee that there won't be the Empire's eyeliners at such a summit venue. If we act rashly, we might be exposed."
"Don't be impulsive, things can still turn around... At least, we are still in the dark." Sanya-Tagge said in a deep voice, "Now that Orman-Tagge's ambitions have been completely exposed, now, I have to start taking action."
But at this time, Felix-Tagge, who had been sitting quietly behind Adelaide-Tagge without saying a word, suddenly stood up!
It's not enough to just make Adelaide-Tagge embarrassed. Now that you've made a decision, you have to follow through! Let this woman who has always been aloof from above be able to crawl at my feet from now on!
Felix-Tagge cleared his throat and said in a loud and magnetic voice, "I object to Mrs. Adelaide's statement, because in fact, our family's finances can fully meet the requirements for building Death Star. Everything she said is false."
With that said, he walked directly out of his position and walked towards Orman-Tagge. He needed to avoid the people on the Finance Department side. Then, he came to Orman-Tagge, placed a memory on the projector over there, and projected a long list of data.
"Adelaide-Tagge has been falsifying the company's financial statements for a long time, creating the illusion that the company's finances are tight. But in fact, this is just a way for her to monopolize power and strangle other departments through finance. Because only financial constraints can show her importance, right?" Felix-Tagge said coldly.
Adelaide-Tagge just came back to her senses. Her beautiful eyes almost burst out of fire. She stared at Felix-Tagge and almost bit her silver teeth into pieces! A word came out from deep in his throat, "You... you actually..."
Her body shook and she fainted!
But Felix-Tagge raised his hand and said loudly, "Now that Adelaide is involved in a scandal and cannot be a director, I will take over the position of minister Finance Department. Now I announce that Finance Department will fully support Mr. Orman's plan!"
Bang bang bang bang! Orman-Tagge were the first to applaud, "Mr. Felix, you have proven your wisdom and loyalty to the company. On behalf of the entire company and family, I would like to thank you for your support. I believe that when we move towards glory in the future, your support will be a highlight!"
The entire venue burst into applause, almost everyone was applauding, laughing, and reveling!
In the midst of this carnival of demons, Sanya-Tagge sighed and said, "Now, I must get help from Tang Xiao. Orman-Tagge, who monopolizes administrative and financial power, will cause devastating harm to us."
"Oh! Have you finally decided to take refuge?" Luna-Huan turned to look at her with a joking smile.
"I can't let Tagge Company become the second Rendili StarDrive. We don't have the foundation to support such a huge change. However, there are many things I can do... Master Dream, I need your full help." Sanya-Tagge said sincerely.
