2685. Death of Silas
The anger in Orman-Tagge's heart has reached its peak. He really wants to throw all the power in his hands at Druckenwell planet and smash the planet into pieces! Including his younger brothers Silas-Tagge!
He no longer wants to take into account any family ties at all, all he wants is for Silas to die! Go to hell!
This stupid brother, he ruined everything!
However, despite being furious, Orman-Tagge regained his composure. He knew that there were some things he couldn't do.
In fact, as the new Imperial Marshal, Orman-Tagge has a lot of power in their hands, and the most powerful one is the so-called prototype ship.
Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance currently basically manages the entire cutting-edge technology research and development of the Galactic Empire, and the strength of this alliance continues to expand. Galactic Empire Hundreds of the most advanced and cutting-edge technological research and development are all completed in this alliance, and Galactic Empire's three major industrial giants, Kuat Drive Yards, Corellia Engineering Company, and Sith Fleet Systems, have also sent their best technical teams to settle in it.
And the one that consumes the most resources in all aspects is naturally Death Star's plan!
The funds used for these projects have reached over one trillion Imperial credits, and 70% of the entire Galactic Empire annual military expenditure is spent on this!
So despite the fact that Orman-Tagge, Imperial Marshal does not have direct military power, but the resources he really controls are actually the most among the twelve marshals.
Now, two other technical Imperial Marshal - Mateo Bacchi and Demetrius-Zaarin - have also been merged into this alliance, which makes Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance even more powerful.
Emperor Palpatine's move was mainly to divide the power of Orman-Tagge, but in fact, a force dominated by technical officials gradually formed within the Galactic Empire - the scientific research faction.
With such huge resources in hand, Orman-Tagge certainly has a lot to mobilize. Among them, there are many prototypes of new warships!
Generally speaking, in order to develop a new type of warship, after completing technical verification, Research Department will start building prototype ships, with the number ranging from two to ten. Because they are faced with the latest technology, these prototype ships are built according to the highest standards, and all materials and components are of the latest models.
Next, after completing the construction of the prototype ship, verify whether these new technologies are feasible on the prototype ship, and finally make subtractions on the basis of ensuring feasibility, and continue to reduce the configuration until the optimal solution under the existing technical conditions is reached.
So normally, the combat capability of a prototype ship is at least twice that of the mass-produced model!
What Orman-Tagge now owns includes three Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer prototype ships, six Dreadnought Commander III-class prototype ships, and one Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer (Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer) prototype ship. Among these prototype ships, one Eclipse-class and four Commander III-class ships have basic combat capabilities.
In addition, there are four Onager-class Star Destroyer (Onager-class), five Broadside-class Missile Heavy Cruiser, ten Raider-class corvette (Raider-class corvette), ten Razor-class frigate (Razor-class frigate), ten Class II frigate (Class II frigate) and other prototypes of new warships.
If all these battleships are added up, Orman-Tagge can even piece together a powerful fleet including one Super Star Destroyer, four dreadnoughts, more than thirty Star Destroyer, and more than 260 small and medium-sized battleships!
As long as he sends this force out, there is no doubt that Druckenwell planet will be directly crushed!
However, he didn't dare.
Because once the prototype ship is sent out to fight, it will be equivalent to a serious military leak. Those frigates are okay. If Orman-Tagge really dares to send Eclipse-class's prototype ship out, I'm afraid Imperial Intelligence Bureau will have tea with him the next day.
After calm thinking, Orman-Tagge decided to look for foreign aid.
So, he found Niel-Declan who was also Imperial Marshal. This one is the one with the least presence among the twelve Imperial Marshal, because he comes from a humble background. Before becoming a marshal, the only qualification he could find was that of TIE fighter pilot.
However, he still had a few years to spare before serving as a fighter pilot and becoming a marshal. No one knows where he went. There are rumors that he has received personal training from His Majesty the Emperor in the past few years, so he is from the emperor's side.
These rumors have not been verified, so even if they become Imperial Marshal, Niel-Declan still lacks real power.
This is what Orman-Tagge is interested in. He thinks that he can form an alliance to some extent with Niel-Declan. Because his Tagge family is rich and powerful, but lacks a foundation in the military, while Niel-Declan is neither deeply rooted in the military Noble House, but has certain military connections, and he also has the position of Imperial Marshal, which is very suitable.
So after receiving the news that his family fleet suffered a disastrous defeat and Rear Admiral Dolla, who participated in the war in his own name, was killed, Orman-Tagge immediately contacted Niel-Declan and asked him to come over and help him solve the problem of Silas-Tagge.
Niel-Declan readily agreed, and he soon came to Milagro planet, and began to assemble the fleet on the grounds of pacifying the rebels.
At the same time, Silas-Tagge was not idle either, he finally started to take action.
With this victory in the Druckenwell planet battle, he began to ask other members of Tagge family to surrender to him and respect him as the family patriarch.
However, the call of Silas-Tagge was ignored at all. The powerful people in the family saw very clearly that Silas defeated the fleet of Orman-Tagge only after colluding with the pirates of Hutt Space.
The angry Silas-Tagge was furious in his command center. He threatened those family members that if they did not recognize him as the head of the family, he would send a fleet to kill them all.
But still no one paid attention.
There are undercurrents surging within Tagge family. The failure of the Druckenwell planet battle has made many people in the family believe that Orman-Tagge is not suitable to continue to be the head of the family. But the head of the family is not Orman, which does not mean it must be Silas. Many people who think they are qualified to become the head of the family have become active.
Silas-Tagge now wants to leave Druckenwell planet and return to his hometown Tepasi. However, he was surprised to find that Galactic Empire Navy had blocked the border, and the surrounding hyperspace channels, including Druckenwell planet, were closed!
It is equivalent to Silas-Tagge being locked outside the border of the Empire!
Silas still doesn't know how big a mistake he has caused!
After he released the hyperspace channel at the border and led Calamity Legion into the within the Empire, a large number of interstellar pirates entered within the Empire because all the border outposts in the direction of Hutt Space were ineffective.
Calamity Legion did not get money from Silas-Tagge, but he did not dare to directly confront Silas 0 because of Kingdom of Dawn and Ni Yongxiao behind his back. took action, so the angry Roan rushed directly into the Empire. With the super mobility and firepower of "EVE" Minmatar ships, he burned, killed and looted within the Empire.
In just one week, Calamity Legion ravaged three planets. Not only did it cause huge casualties, but almost all the wealth of these planets was looted!
And if you include other spaceships looted by pirates, this number will increase to hundreds!
Not only that, within this week, countless immigrants and people entered illegally! It's not even possible to check whether Kingdom of Dawn's spy is mixed in!
Marshal Niel-Declan agreed to Orman-Tagge's request. This is also an important reason - he also has a mission to destroy these interstellar pirates.
So, when Niel-Declan led the fleet to arrive at Druckenwell planet, Silas-Tagge was horrified to find that they had already betrayed their relatives!
He could not leave Druckenwell planet, and the family members also avoided him. Although he exposed Orman-Tagge's financial fraud, proving that Orman was wrong did not prove that he was right. And colluding with interstellar pirates to destroy Orman's fleet is also unacceptable.
Because these fleets belong to Orman-Tagge, but they also belong to the family!
Not only that, when Marshal Niel-Declan led the regular army to blockade Druckenwell planet, even Silas-Tagge's most loyal subordinates - people from the scientific research and technology department also left him.
The future described by Cassio-Tagge did not happen. Silas-Tagge defeated Orman's fleet, but still lost everything.
This is natural. Everyone knows that Orman-Tagge leads only one Empire-sanctioned reserve family fleet. This is the strength of a very large escort fleet. If this fleet is really thrown into the frontal battlefield of Kingdom of Dawn and Galactic Empire, I am afraid it will not even be able to cause a splash.
Druckenwell planet's battle is a loser for both Silas and Orman!
Orman-Tagge, who was carried away by anger, asked Marshal Niel-Declan to capture Druckenwell planet immediately. All the traitors on the planet, regardless of life or death!
Niel-Declan is of course very happy. He also knows that he lacks foundation and support, so he will not let go of such an opportunity to show his face.
He leads a squadron of Galactic Empire Navy, including 40 Imperial-class Star Destroyer and 300 small and medium-sized warships. Such a force can easily crush the escort fleet of Silas-Tagge. As for the Calamity Legion, I don't know where it has gone!
At this moment, in the Druckenwell planet command center, the place has fallen into chaos.
Everyone was thinking about escaping or surrendering. And Silas-Tagge had completely lost his opinion at this time. He frantically called his second brother Cassio-Tagge, but there was no response.
The fleet of Niel-Declan has arrived at the outer edge of the planet, and everything is over.
"No! Impossible! Where is Cassio! Where is Cassio!! You said it! You said you just need to win!!" Silas-Tagge shouted wildly.
"Mr. Silas... Calm down! Surrender!" One of Silas's subordinates came over and said, "This is Marshal Niel-Declan! He is from the army!"
"No! Call Cassio-Tagge over here! Quick! He must have a way!" Silas-Tagge hugged the subordinate's shoulders and said loudly.
"Mr. Cassio?" The subordinate was stunned for a moment and said strangely, "Didn't Mr. Cassio die ten years ago? Why are you mentioning him?"
"What are you talking about? He was still here before! He was the one who won that battle!!" Silas's expression suddenly changed.
"Mr. Silas, don't fantasize about this. That battle was commanded by Fleet Commander Siqiangke of Druckenwell planet..." His subordinates continued to persuade, "Surrender! This is the only chance..."
"No... impossible... impossible! Second brother is still here! Second brother is still here..." Silas-Tagge was completely confused.
Seeing him like this, the subordinate didn't care much, turned around and started running away.
However, just when everyone was trying to fend for themselves, all the communications on Druckenwell planet, HoloNet, and even the TV station began to broadcast the same picture at the same time.
Only black men wearing white marshal uniforms, gold spiked epaulettes, and dark blue cloaks - Niel-Declan - appeared on the screen. He said coldly: [Led by Silas-Tagge, Druckenwell planet colluded with overseas pirates and caused serious losses to the Empire. Now, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I issue Extermination Order to Druckenwell planet!]
"What did he say? Extermination Order?" A pedestrian pointed at the huge screen in the square and said loudly, "What does the fighting here have to do with us? Why did we order Extermination Order!!"
"Run! Run quickly! Run quickly!!!"
"Help... I don't want to die, I don't want to die..." Almost all the people were in chaos.
Even Silas's fleet on the outer edge of the planet received the news, and the communications they sent to Imperial fleet were all in vain, without any response at all.
"He's going to kill us! He's going to kill us all!!" an officer from Tagge family shouted.
"They didn't even give us a chance to surrender..."
"No matter what, you will die!! Fight with them!!"
At this moment, a Turbolaser cannon was suddenly fired from somewhere! However, the shot missed and hit a space station.
However, this shot ignited the war again!
I don't know who said loudly in Silas's fleet's communication channel; "the Empire wants to kill us! We can't just sit back and wait! Rather than being killed by them like chickens, it's better to fight them to the death!!"
"Yes! Fight with them!"
"Fight them!!"
People all follow the crowd, and in extreme despair, they finally burst out with their final strength!
At the same time, Niel-Declan looked at Druckenwell planet very strangely, "What on earth are they doing? They have reached this point, why don't they surrender?"
"Continue to call on the public channel and ask them to surrender!" The adjutant conveyed the order from the side, "Where are Silas-Tagge? Still not contacted? Let him come with us. It is better to be punished than to die!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Lord Marshal! It has been detected that the opponent's warship has opened fire!!" the sensor department officer said loudly.
Niel-Declan was startled suddenly, and then a surge of anger ignited from the bottom of his heart, "In that case, you are asking for this!!"
He stood up suddenly, opened his arms, and a powerful and dark the Force instantly expanded, covering the entire fleet! All I saw was that his eyes were red, and he said ferociously, "Then, this is your choice! Battle Meditation!"
With the expansion of Dark Side Force, the eyes of Imperial Navy officers and soldiers at all levels in the entire fleet turned blood red! They felt a furious and bloodthirsty power deep in their hearts! Now, everyone in this fleet just wants to tear their enemies to pieces!!
Battle Meditation!
This is why Palpatine appointed Niel-Declan as marshal!!
