2619. Civil war breaks out suddenly
"No! This is impossible! Orman-Tagge will definitely let Imperial military intervene in this matter! We are done... all done!" Silas-Tagge almost collapsed and shouted.
"The military intervened?" Cassio-Tagge smiled coldly, "Do you think Tagge Company is Trade Federation? As long as Imperial military's fleet dares to fire a shot at Tagge Company, try and see what kind of trouble Core Worlds will cause?"
"No! I don't want this... No! Orman... He, he is my eldest brother..." Silas-Tagge held his head in frustration.
"Then Sanya is your mother?" Cassio-Tagge subconsciously said something directly, but then he also knew that he couldn't irritate Silas so much, so he changed the subject The head said, "Wake up! How old are you? Don't you have an independent plan for your future? You were controlled by Sanya before, and now you are controlled by Orman. When will you be able to control your own destiny?"
"But... I don't know..." Silas shook his head.
"That's enough, let's plan what happens next." Cassio-Tagge patted him on the shoulder, "You should understand that no matter what Orman-Tagge's plans are, your name has never been in his plans for the future. He not only betrayed you, but also betrayed the company and betrayed the family... You should understand this, and it's not that you betrayed him."
Silas-Tagge nodded, his eyes gradually became cold, and he seemed to have made some determination. But he was still worried and asked, "Second brother, what about you? What have you experienced in these years?"
"After Modell Sector Campaign was defeated, I took the escape hatch and left before the flagship was destroyed. After that, I moved to Outer Rim Territories and lived there. Then I was really short of money, so I organized a mercenary army to make money in Hutt Space." Cassio-Tagge came up with the excuse that he had made up a long time ago, "Actually, I planned to come back, but I heard from my people about the conflict between Sanya and Orman. I sensed that something was wrong, so I started to investigate secretly."
He glanced at Silas and continued, "But I didn't think the matter was serious at the time, so I didn't do much to hide my whereabouts. It wasn't until a killer came to the door that I discovered... Orman-Tagge, he wanted to kill me. Not only that, he also attributed Modell Sector Campaign's failure entirely to my head."
Silas suddenly said, "But this makes no sense! Brother Orman He has been worried about our lack of influence in the military. He has always wanted to join forces with you to create a glorious future for the family!"
"Is what he told you true? Haha... you don't know him at all." Cassio-Tagge said, "In his view, as long as I am still in the family, he will never be able to truly control the family power. It is like throwing away all the family's material and financial resources and gambling Death Star project. If I were still here, then I would never let this plan pass. The reason? You have already seen it."
Silas lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Let's go. I'm back this time to help you." Cassio-Tagge said, "First, we must be able to protect ourselves, and then we can start to win over our own supporters. You exposed Orman-Tagge's financial conspiracy at the family meeting, and now many people are waiting and watching. If you don't take this first step, no one will help you - except me."
Silas then nodded and said, "I understand, second brother. Then, let you command this fleet..."
Cassio-Tagge smiled slightly, this is such a shallow and childish temptation, brother... you are always only suitable to be a technician wearing a white coat.
He shook his head and said, "No, I can't come forward. If I show up, Orman-Tagge will definitely amplify the matter and give Imperial military a reason to intervene. Therefore, this fleet can only be handed over to you and commanded by you. I am only serving as a combat advisor."
Cassio-Tagge put on the half-face mask again and said solemnly, "Come on, third brother. I am a soldier, and I am not suitable to lead the family forward. But... you can! Until Domina grows up, only you can!"
Silas-Tagge's eyes gradually became enthusiastic.
"That's right. This is your last trial before you can truly take control of the family. In addition, I learned the most important information through the military's intelligence network - His Majesty the Emperor, who has been unable to take charge recently due to poor health. In addition, Imperial Intelligence Bureau's major changes are now the best time." Cassio-Tagge patted the third brother on the shoulder again and encouraged. "I have made my choice, now it is your turn."
He looked at Silas-Tagge, who was breathing heavily, and his eyes were full of pity, as if... he was looking at a dead person.
9BBY, April 30.
The third son of Tagge family, Silas-Tagge, arrived at Druckenwell planet, and there was a mysterious man wearing a mask beside him.
Then, Silas-Tagge immediately used their authority to take over Druckenwell planet's fleet. This fleet includes an escort fleet composed of 19 squadrons, with a total of Light Cruiser and more than 1,200 frigates.
In addition, there is a fleet including 50 old battleships and more than 500 old Light Cruiser. This fleet once belonged to Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Druckenwell planet, located in the Milky Way Galaxy Southeastern Territory, Mid Rim Territories. It is on the same core hyperspace channel as Falrin Planet and Christophsis - Corellian Trade Route. Currently, this planet is within the radiation range of Draon defense line, which Galactic Empire has worked hard to manage.
Because the political environment of Southern Galaxy and Southeastern Territory is very complex and liberal ideological trends are widespread, Kingdom of Dawn did not attack in this direction. In fact, Kingdom of Dawn lacks influence on the entire galaxy along Corellian Trade Route. Hydian Way and Corellian Trade Spine are their two core channels.
In the early days, Druckenwell planet was controlled by Trade Federation, so during the Clone Wars period, Druckenwell planet joined Confederacy of Independent Systems, and was also one of the important industrial worlds of Confederacy of Independent Systems. A large number of interstellar shipyards and a large number of processing factories have been built here, and a large number of combat robots and various types of warships have been built.
During the war, this was also the headquarters of a famous robot manufacturer, SGI Systems. The famous IG-series assassin droid was produced by this company.
However, with the end of Clone Wars, Trade Federation and these Mega-corporations giants were liquidated. SGI Systems was also sanctioned by the Galactic Empire due to its unclear relationship with Separatists during the war, and the company was forcibly nationalized.
At this time, Tagge Company took the opportunity to purchase the development rights of this planet from the Galactic Empire, who was financially strapped. It is said that it is development rights, but in fact it is equivalent to buying the planet.
After the end of Clone Wars, many of the planets that Galactic Empire occupied from Confederacy of Independent Systems were dealt with in this way. Because Galactic Empire simply does not have the ability to manage those planets where Separatists is prevalent, it has no effect except for more and more resistance and riots.
For Tagge Company, Druckenwell planet is also an important springboard for them to enter the military industry. Because there are shipyards for building warships on this planet, and there are many retired and scrapped Separatists warships, as well as the backward but complete Heavy Industrial System.
Through the reconstruction of Druckenwell planet, Tagge Company is also accumulating its own experience in the military industry.
Due to the defeat of Confederacy of Independent Systems, the original fleet on Druckenwell planet was also abandoned. Most of the warships were parked in a desert on the planet, waiting to be scrapped and dismantled.
Tagge Company In order to accumulate experience in warship construction, he invested heavily in repairing some of these warships that were in better condition. These include 17 Generous-class frigate, 3 Deceiver-class destroyer, 14 Defiant-class light destroyer, 1 Luukri-Hok-class battleship, 8 Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, 5 Kohl-class Battlecruiser, and 2 Martha-class missile heavy cruiser.
Of course, even the warships Kohl-class and Masha-class produced by Kingdom of Dawn, which are much more advanced than Generous-class, are actually the original old models, and their combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. Not to mention other warships, I am afraid that if a few Imperial-class Star Destroyer come over, this fleet will be beaten to a pulp.
But no matter what, this is also a battleship.
Tagge Company has modernized and modified these warships as much as possible, so that they can keep up with the times and have a little bit of combat effectiveness, but they are still far from being able to truly go on the battlefield.
Of course, the benefits of repairing this fleet are also obvious - that is, Druckenwell planet's industrial system has recovered rapidly with the investment of Tagge Company, and has begun to play a greater role for the company. So later, Tagge Company set up the bases of 19 squadrons of his huge escort fleet here.
In recent months, because of Establishment of the Tagge Sector, most of those planets did not buy Tagge Company's account, so most of the escort fleets stayed at home.
Therefore, this became an important force occupied by Silas-Tagge.
After taking control of the fleet, Silas-Tagge quickly issued a public statement accusing Orman-Tagge of financial fraud, putting Tagge Company in a situation of imminent bankruptcy. He demanded that the company immediately convene the top board of directors to thoroughly investigate Orman-Tagge's economic crimes and remove him from his position.
With the fleet in hand, Silas-Tagge is naturally confident. At the same time, the wall-riding forces within the company began to gradually move closer to Silas. After all, no matter how much Orman-Tagge promised or falsified, the company's financial situation was deteriorating rapidly. This can be felt even by feeling.
Orman-Tagge After returning to Tepasi from Scarif, he faced such a situation that he almost fainted from anger!
His most trusted brother actually announced the company's confidential financial documents at the company meeting, and also introduced Imperial Inquisitorius into the company, and then Grand Judge Latinal-Tobin died in the company headquarters!
In the end, he actually went all the way to the company's most important industrial world, raised his arms and raised the banner - it was the other way around!
Orman-Tagge just felt that even if he used the most horrific punishment in the entire galaxy on Silas, he would never be relieved. He was so angry that his eyes, which were injured by Darth-Vader, burst open and had to receive emergency treatment.
Then, he found that he was facing an isolated and helpless situation - Silas-Tagge The time to launch an attack and rebellion was chosen so well, as if it had been specially arranged.
Because not long ago, Kingdom of Dawn just launched an offensive at Eastern Territory, destroying the super battleship the Eye of Palpatine that Galactic Empire finally built. Then I don't know what happened, which involved Blackhole, causing Blackhole to retire. Even His Majesty the Emperor was in poor health during this period and couldn't do anything!
Now, Silas-Tagge is rebelling within the company, and Orman-Tagge can't even find outside help.
Who to look for? His Majesty the Emperor? He is now unwell and has not even attended Imperial Senate's meetings. military? I just lost face with Wilhuff-Tarkin, and if I try to save my face to go to them again, I'm afraid I won't be able to make even a scrap of the Death Star project. What's more, because of the problems in the Eastern Territory battle, the military now has too much to take care of itself.
Looking for the Imperial Intelligence Bureau? Their leader behind the scenes, Blackhole, retired, Inquisitorius Grand Judge Hydra died in battle, and now another Grand Judge Latinal-Tobin is still dead in his own company! If Intelligence Bureau doesn't cause trouble for Tagge Company, it's a mercy from them!
Das-Vader? This is his enemy, and he is also helping Wilhuff-Tarkin rescue Garrosh-Tarkin who disappeared during the Eastern Territory battle.
Dark Prophet? This group of magicians Celestials is totally unreliable.
Therefore, this matter can only be solved by Orman-Tagge himself. And what about the power he cultivated in the company? I am afraid that in addition to his own die-hard forces, other people who have colluded together due to interests will be dissatisfied with the confidential financial documents disclosed by Silas-Tagge, and thus stand aside.
Orman-Tagge can only declare Silas treason, and report Galactic Empire Commerce Department and Imperial Intelligence Bureau, asking the Empire officials to deal with Silas.
However, Silas-Tagge once again reiterated their loyalty to the Galactic Empire. He publicly stated that resisting Orman-Tagge was just a business behavior within the company. After the company's internal affairs were dealt with, Tagge Company would continue to serve Galactic Empire with a new attitude.
At the same time, Silas-Tagge also claimed that as the head of scientific research, Tagge Company will focus on scientific research under his control and will never reach out to the military, politics, etc., and will absolutely maintain his duties.
This point actually makes Imperial military quite excited. Therefore, Imperial military decisively chose to sit on the sidelines.
Orman-Tagge had no choice but to start organizing his own fleet!
Tagge Company's civil war is about to break out!
