2679. Tagge family civil war breaks out
The greatest significance of the military operation against Naboo is to directly tell Galactic Empire that Kingdom of Dawn's military strength in the direction of Southwest Territory has been enhanced.
In this way, if Galactic Empire wants to attack Fondor Planet, it has to think carefully.
Fondor Planet's troops have not been directly reinforced, but once Galactic Empire uses troops against Fondor Planet, the fleets of Eriadu and Kira planet will immediately crash into it and outflank Imperial fleet's retreat.
Although the enhanced Kingdom of Dawn fleet has a combined strength of less than half of the Galactic Empire's troops stationed at Denon Planet, the eliteness of the Kingdom of Dawn battleship is enough to pin down the Denon Planet defenders on Homeworld with the support of the stargate's mobility.
But at this moment, Galactic Empire is caught up in the carnival of victory under the exaggeration of the the Empire propaganda machine. Almost no one cares about this military threat from the flanks.
As for Imperial Supreme Strategic Command, their most important focus is still on the war at Northern Territory.
After all, the people of Supreme Strategic Command knew full well that the counter-insurgency war that took place in Southern Territory was just a military and political show. The real main battlefield for both sides was still Northern Territory.
As for the senior officials of the Empire and the dignitaries of Core Worlds, what they are concerned about is another major event that happened at the same time——
Tagge family's civil war finally broke out!!
Two months ago, Tagge family's third son, Silas-Tagge, who was responsible for the family's scientific research work, chose to fight against his eldest brother to the end because he was dissatisfied with the profit distribution of the current head of the family, Tagge family's eldest son Orman-Tagge.
He believed that the arrangement by Orman-Tagge to promote Felix-Tagge, a villain who betrayed his wife, to Tagge Sector Governor was an injustice to himself and an attempt to exclude him from the center of family power. So when his head got hot, he chose to fight to the death.
Silas-Tagge first directly exposed in the family meeting that Orman-Tagge had misappropriated family resources under various names to provide support for the Empire's Death Star project, which also led to a large-scale deficit in the family's finances.
He then continued to accuse Orman-Tagge of using the family's resources to pursue his own ambitions and interests, which would eventually lead to the entire family being sacrificed for his own sake.
Silas-Tagge's actions were supported by some high-level Tagge family officials, but because Orman-Tagge's influence was too deep-rooted in the family, he had to find a way to escape from the family's headquarters Tepasi.
And in the process of escaping, Silas-Tagge had no idea what happened. He only knew that Grand Judge Latinal-Tobin of Imperial Inquisitorius died inexplicably on Tepasi, and Galactic Empire reacted particularly violently to this incident.
After the deaths of Latinal-Tobin, even Kadan, the leader of Dark Prophet, also went!
Silas-Tagge has no idea that he has unknowingly stood at the center of a Galactic Empire core power storm!
When he felt that the situation seemed to be out of control, the situation had really gotten out of control long ago. There is no way he, a family director of scientific research, can calm it down!
This storm of power struggle involves the struggle between Dark Theocracy and secular forces within the Galactic Empire, and also involves the struggle between Imperial military technical officers and traditional military officers. The struggle also involves the struggle within Dark Theocracy, between the remnant forces of the emperor's Dark Advisor'Blackhole' and the emperor's apprentice Das-Vader.
Tagge family's civil strife is like a detonator, igniting the fuses of bombs that have been laid long ago and are scattered all over the mountains and plains!
Many years later, people will look back and discover that the starting point that led to the complete collapse of the Core Worlds elite class established during the Galactic Republic period for 25,000 years was the impulsive and stupid riot of Silas-Tagge!
At this moment, Silas-Tagge are in the command center of Druckenwell planet, staring at the holographic star map in a daze.
In fact, he's been doing this for a week straight. He has been staying in the command center, looking at the highlighted star map of Tagg Star Sector on the holographic star map.
On the star map, Tagg Star Sector extends continuously along the two core channels of Hydian Way and Perlemian Trade Spine. It is extremely sparse and scattered, but there are also a huge number of 3,000 habitable planets.
If he can become the governor of this star region and integrate the resources and industrial systems of these planets, then the strength of Tagg Star Sector will far exceed that of ordinary Sector Governor. As a result, the scope of influence that Tagge family can control will be second only to the Galactic Empire's twenty legions, and even larger than Corellian Corridor controlled by Corellia!
Coupled with the fact that the twenty legions are now dead and disabled, there are at most twelve legions left with some strength.
In other words, although Tagge Sector Governor is currently running into walls and has many conflicts with Sector Governor everywhere, as long as these problems are solved, he will become the most powerful faction in the entire Galactic Empire ranking!
Yes, what a tempting prospect this is!
For such a huge authority, some sacrifices must be made. As long as I can defeat Orman-Tagge and take control of the family, then everything will be mine! It's all mine!!
Silas-Tagge's body trembled with excitement. The desire for power was like a glass of mellow liquor, anesthetizing his brain, making him constantly excited and addicted.
Only in this way can he forget his fear and tell himself that all the efforts are worth it.
"... I'm right! I'm right... right! Orman-Tagge is betraying the family's interests... The only one who can lead the family forward is me... only me!" Silas-Tagge murmured to himself He said to himself, "Research Department is the foundation of the family! This guy Orman, doesn't he know that Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance, who led him to the top of power, was pulled up by me? Without me, he can't do anything!"
"Yes... yes... yes! Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance is my thing! Orman-Tagge, you actually use my things to please His Majesty the Emperor! Why... why!!" Silas-Tagge said as if they were in a daze.
After he escaped from Tepasi and came to Druckenwell planet, although he successfully took over the fleet here with the help of his second brother Cassio-Tagge who returned secretly, the news coming one after another from Core Worlds frightened him.
Imperial Inquisitorius Grand Judge Latinal-Tobin died mysteriously, Dark Prophet settled in Tepasi, and then his eldest brother Orman-Tagge led the family fleet to Denon Planet.
Denon Planet is now the most important line of defense for the Galactic Empire, and it is also the key area to guard Inner Rim. The family fleet of Orman-Tagge is actually qualified to enter Denon Planet. This fact directly proves that Imperial military supports Orman.
At the same time, Silas-Tagge found that the support they received from within the family was also very limited.
First of all, he originally thought that his younger brother Urrrk-Tagge would support him, because Urrrk told him before that he was raped by Imperial military was expelled because Orman-Tagge offended Das-Vader and Wilhuff-Tarkin.
But when he actually attacked Orman-Tagge at the family meeting, Urrrk-Tagge was pretending to be stupid and seemed completely unaware of it.
Then after escaping to Druckenwell planet, Silas-Tagge calmed down and asked people to investigate the situation. They were surprised to find that Urrrk-Tagge was staying well in Imperial military. Not only had they not been driven away, they were even prepared to be promoted to Major General Imperial Navy in the near future!
In this case, how could Urrrk-Tagge possibly support him?
Silas-Tagge felt that he had been tricked by Urrrk-Tagge, and he thought that Urrrk-Tagge did not have such bad intentions to do such a conspiracy, so the result must be that Orman-Tagge was behind it!
It must be Orman-Tagge teaming up with Urrrk to play tricks on him, seduce him, and finally force him to rebel, and then take this opportunity to completely eliminate him!
And once this idea began to take root in his heart, Silas-Tagge became more and more frightened! He felt that since he was being plotted by Orman-Tagge, the most severe blow would follow and eventually, he would be killed!
And now the Blaise-Tagge-Falcon couple of the Human Resources Department door have also remained silent. Although they have always been at odds with Orman-Tagge, they chose to sit on the sidelines this time.
What's even worse is that Finance Department is unwilling to stand up and oppose it!
You must know that Qidian, who is responsible for this series of events, was the one who exposed the financial fraud of Orman-Tagge! Moreover, Finance Department's former person in charge, Adelaide-Tagge, even fiercely resisted Orman-Tagge.
The voice that had whispered in Silas-Tagge's ear to analyze the secret financial statements for him at the family meeting was now missing.
So in the end, only Silas-Tagge and his Research Department were resisting...
The balance of power between the two sides is not on the same level.
Next, Silas-Tagge also heard a very bad news. The fleet of Orman-Tagge had left Denon Planet and went to Milagro planet (Milagro), where he also got more than ten Hunter Class Battlecruiser!
Although Hunter Class Battlecruiser is far behind this era of rapid development of battleship technology, it is still a capital ship anyway. Compared with the fleet in Silas-Tagge's own hands, it is not at the same level at all!
No matter how powerful and wealthy Tagge family is, after all, they are still just a family and a company. They can have a huge fleet of 5,000 warships, but they are mainly used to protect the company's waterways, so they are basically light warships for escort.
Although Tagge family's fleet looks down upon all Core Worlds Noble House wealthy families, but from another perspective, this actually means that they cannot ask Imperial Navy fleet to help, so they can only do many things by themselves.
If you really encounter a battleship-level fleet, you will be completely vulnerable!
"I'm not wrong... This is the inevitable test to reach the top... I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong..." Silas-Tagge was still thinking.
At this time, the door of the command center was opened, and a tall figure walked in.
It's his second brother, Cassio-Tagge.
Cassio-Tagge has been wearing a mask since he suddenly appeared, not showing his true face, and keeping a very low profile.
"Your Excellency, Orman, he got a batch of retired Hunter Class Battlecruiser, but I have made targeted arrangements. Those Hunter Class Battlecruiser, Orman-Tagge are basically Without the ability to exert their full combat effectiveness, first of all, he does not have enough fighters and pilots. Once the fighter planes are lost, Hunter Class will be vulnerable," Cassio-Tagge said seriously.
"Are you telling the truth? Can we defeat Big Brother's fleet?" Silas-Tagge suddenly raised his head, with a look of hope in his eyes.
"I have been in the military for many years, and I have long known the weaknesses of Hunter Class Battlecruiser. This kind of battleship has weak armor and uneven firepower distribution. Even if it is used as an aircraft carrier, the crowded Hangar Platform has abandoned a lot of ground support equipment in order to accommodate more aircraft. So for Hunter Class As for E, those fighter jets can only take off from above. "Cassio-Tagge said, "Don't worry, Sir. In my opinion, a Hunter Class is not even as much of a threat as a cruiser."
Cassio-Tagge speaks to you as the head of the family, which makes Silas-Tagge feel greatly relieved. During the recent period, it was because of Cassio-Tagge's constant encouragement that Silas-Tagge persisted without collapsing.
And the most important thing is that Cassio-Tagge always puts his position in the right place. As he promised before, he has no interest in power, and he is his master at all times. And except for military matters, they don't care about anything else. At the same time, their professional level is very good. After training this ragtag fleet of Druckenwell planet, they can be more or less able to see through it.
"Fortunately, it's great to have you here! Second brother." Silas-Tagge said with emotion, "People like Orman-Tagge only have cold interests in their eyes and don't care about them at all. Family love! He was the one who forced me to join him, and he was responsible for the murder of my mother. Don't worry, as long as we can kill Orman-Tagge, you will be the Supreme Military Commander of our family!"
Cassio-Tagge nodded noncommittally and said, "Orman's fleet is heading towards Milagro planet, which means that he is about to launch an attack. As long as we destroy his fleet, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give up on him as a loser and support you."
"That's right! That's right! That's it! That's it!" Silas-Tagge nodded hurriedly.
Cassio-Tagge frowned again and said awkwardly, "However, after all, Orman has a batch of Hunter Class in his hands, which is very troublesome..."
"Didn't you say you've already planned it?" Silas-Tagge was shocked.
"I still need your help." Cassio-Tagge said directly, "Do you still remember that I told you before that I lived in Hutt Space as a mercenary for a long time? I plan to take it. Call the comrades I met at Tatooine. As long as the border channel is released, I can let them attack directly behind the Orman fleet. Then we can attack from both sides and the battle will be over in less than a day!"
"Then contact them quickly!" Silas-Tagge said eagerly.
"I said that we need to open up the border channels and give them our authorization code. In this way, their fleet will not be noticed by the Empire's border outpost."
