1796. The real core wealthy family (Part 1)
Tang Xiao looked at the proud matriarch in front of him, smiled faintly, and said, "You know my conditions, Mrs. Sonya."
" It is simply impossible for you to want the Tag family to betray the Galaxy Empire. Compared with the Tag family, my life is not worth mentioning." Sonya Tag said seriously: "Even if I really die like this, I will destroy the family. If left to the eldest son Orman Tagg, the loss he would cause at most would not be greater than the loss of the family betraying the empire and supporting the Dawn Principality - because that would mean complete destruction."
< br>"You seem to have no confidence in yourself, your family, or me..." Tang Xiao said calmly.
The result of her rejection is normal and expected. After all, the Tagg family is no better than the Ulan family of Rendili Interstellar Power Company. The latter is already an outcast of the Galactic Republic and has begun to be squeezed out of the core of power of the Republic.
The Tagg family is different. This family is deeply rooted and has a deeper heritage than the Ulan family. It has also been loyal to the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire for a long time. What's more, they have no internal or external troubles. With their strength, it is almost certain that they will enter the core of power of the Galactic Empire and hold the most critical positions.
How could such a family betray the Galactic Empire?
So, he just said this and did not expect betrayal from the Tagg family.
Sanya Tagg's expression was slightly pitiful, and she said: "Perhaps you would think that the Principality of Dawn has gained the upper hand many times in the war with the Galactic Republic, and even repelled the huge army led by Cassio. Fleet, then the Principality of Dawn will still have the same advantage over the Galaxy Empire?"
"I would like to hear your opinion, Madam," Tang Xiao said.
Sonja Tagg put on her clothes elegantly, and the noble temperament revealed inadvertently by her movements exuded a mature charm. Then she slowly walked to the other side, poured herself a glass of wine, and returned to sit on the sofa. He took a sip, and then said: "In the previous war, the Galactic Republic only mobilized less than one-tenth of its strength."
Tang Xiao's expression was as usual, he was familiar with "Planet" He, who plays the plot of "The Great War", is naturally very clear about this matter.
"The Galactic Republic was dragged into the war in a hurry." Sonya Tag took another sip of wine. She seemed to be very interested in this dry red wine, "We were almost in the morning. Just after Count Dooku signed the secession agreement on the planet Geonosis, the war started in the afternoon. Before that, even though Palpatine had promulgated the "Military Creation" after the conflict on the planet Naboo ten years ago. Act, we actually don't take it seriously at all."
Tang Xiao nodded, he knew that Sonja was talking about the Clone War from the perspective of those wealthy nobles.
“The Grand Army of the Republic was established, but considering the financial situation of the Galactic Republic, it is simply impossible to afford such a huge military expenditure. And Palpatine did not put pressure on us, because we had already He said he would support him... What he is really putting pressure on are those disobedient planets and disobedient congressmen." Sonya Tagg continued, "So, is the Galactic Republic poor? They are really poor. Even the purchase of an additional warship requires a meeting to discuss. But so what? You should know that the cost of the entire war is not even comparable to the birthday party I held last year. Xiao frowned slightly. He knew that the Galactic Republic was corrupt, rigid, and lacked power, but he really didn't expect that the Galactic Republic would reach such a state.
“If we really want to support a war, after the Military Creation Act and ten years of preparation for war, the Republic’s warships of various types will exceed millions!” Sonya Tagg She said in a deep voice, "If that's true, Count Dooku's so-called separatism will not survive for more than a month."
However, she also smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But this is impossible to happen. . We all have our own concerns and considerations, and we absolutely cannot hand over our precious power to the Galactic Republic. The organization of the Galactic Republic fundamentally cuts off this possibility, whether it is the government of the Republic or the parliament. We all have no restraints. Moreover, the separatist commotion is not bad, it just stimulates the market and consumption in this backwater of the galaxy. And... the war..."
The smile on the corner of Sonya Tag's mouth changed. It is a bit unpredictable, "The war has given us countless opportunities... As long as we hold high the banner of war, we can do whatever we want. The output value of Tagg Company increased by 1.2% during the two and a half years of the war. To give you an intuitive Comparison - In two and a half years, Tagge Company has earned a star district."
Tang Xiao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, standing here, she was so beautiful, so weak. , all he needs to do is reach out and hold her lightly, and he can kill her. However, she is so powerful. She only needs to say a word, and thousands of planets will operate according to her will, and countless resources and materials will flow for her ideas.
Like the Ulan family, this is the heritage and domineering power of the oldest wealthy noble family in the galaxy!
However... Although Tang Xiao didn't show it, his heart was filled with ridicule. The Galactic Empire will be the era when they reach their peak, but it is also the beginning of their fall into the abyss.
They are powerful, but also corrupt.
Under that extremely solid shell, there is a mass of decayed crumbs, vulnerable to a single blow.
Sanya Tag took a deep breath and took another sip of wine, with a charming blush on her face, "We know all this, and Palpatine knows it too. And, you know Why do we support Palpatine? ”
She leaned on the back of the sofa, looking a little lazy, "Because we are all tired...tired of playing democratic games with those impoverished outer-ring stars... We are strong, rich, smart, and superior, and those in the outer-ring What qualifications does the primitive planet have to talk to us as equals? Hahahahahaha..."
Taking advantage of this hint of drunkenness, Sonja Tagg laughed, "Before the Speaker election, we just He lightly hooked his fingers. The leader of the Ring faction members at the time, Aoun Freeta, immediately gave up the so-called belief he had insisted on for a long time... because in front of us, he knew deeply that the Rynos he represented The planet... is so small. Hehehehe..."
Sanya Tag stood up again, went to the wine cabinet, and poured herself a full glass of red wine: "The system of the Galactic Republic. , leaving us with such great power but no way to exert it." (End of Chapter)
