1801. Heir
“You should understand that I am not interested in your so-called plan.” Tang Xiao glanced at Alexia indifferently, “However, if you make a big enough contribution, then I will consider giving you a planet, and you will become the queen of that planet."
But Alexia did not comment on Tang Xiao's proposal, she just smiled indifferently and said. : "My proposal is valid at any time, Mr. Grand Duke Li Ming."
After saying that, cicada-like wings sprouted from her back again, and she flew out of the window with vibration.
Tang Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to her, connected to Volgograd-Kanidi's communication, and said: "Sanya Tagg and I have reached an agreement. Next, Casio Tagg will become A member of the navy. As I said before, let him follow you. I have noticed that many interstellar pirates have appeared in the Model sector recently. Let him practice his skills."
Interstellar pirates can be said to be a big problem throughout the galaxy, including the newly established Principality of Dawn. This is why the Principality of Dawn also maintains a large escort fleet at all times.
Some of those interstellar pirates came from other places, and some were criminals and thugs born on the local planet. Once these people get the spacecraft and make some simple modifications, they can immediately become quite popular. Threatening interstellar pirates.
And because of the maturity and popularization of interstellar navigation technology, these interstellar pirates are basically impossible to guard against, and it is impossible to cure them. The only way is to escort, so that these pirates dare not take action, or they can be caught when they do it. repel.
Take the Model Star Sector as an example. There are less than ten planets usually mentioned, such as Annaji, Vathian, and Sonner. But in fact, in the entire Model Sector, if you include planets with some sporadic colonies or inhabited activities, the number ranges from 190 to 450...
Those scattered planets On the scattered planet, in fact, almost no one wants to pay attention to them.
Then if we change the statistical method and compare the developed areas and undeveloped areas of all planets, we will find that at least 83% of the areas are undeveloped. Even the most developed planet Annaji in the Model sector has only about 70% of its developed areas. In other words, the remaining 30% of areas with complex terrain may also be harboring dirt and evil.
Therefore, it is generally believed that an interstellar regime has complete control over the area under its jurisdiction, which is actually false. Including the Galactic Empire, control of the planets under its jurisdiction is also achieved by controlling the administrative centers of these planets. This does not mean that it can control every area of a planet.
Therefore, the Model sector has just experienced a large-scale invasion by the Galactic Republic, and in order to defend the Dawn Planet, it pulled all the surrounding convoys over to fight, although it successfully repelled the Galactic Republic. fleet, but the hidden danger is that with the mobilization and loss of the escort fleet, interstellar pirates in the Model sector began to appear on a large scale and became rampant.
This is Tang Xiao's arrangement. He sent Casio Tagg to fight against pirates, and also asked him to study with Volgograd Canidi, so that this talented man with a lot of theory but no experience could grow up. stand up.
He does not expect Casio Tagg to grow to a high level, he just hopes to keep in touch with Sonya Tagg through him and create a bridge for him to intervene in the internal affairs of the Tagg family in the future. . Moreover, it is obvious that Casio Tag's future growth also shows that he also has many advantages, which is enough for the Kingdom of Dawn, which is undergoing rapid expansion.
However, Volgograd-Kanidi's political thinking obviously did not reach this level. He looked a little unhappy and frowned and said: "With all due respect, Your Excellency, Casio Tagg does have merit in theoretical knowledge. But this man is ambitious, impulsive, and not a qualified general."
Tang Xiao smiled slightly and asked, "Are you serious? Doesn't he have any merit at all?"< br>
In the original plot, Casio Tagg rose to a rare high-level position in the Galactic Empire's military. He was the commander-in-chief of all the army troops stationed on the Death Star and the ship's defense array. Even though he has a strong background in the Tag family, who can reach that level without some background? Being able to stand out is his greatest ability.
And in the original plot, Casio Tag is known for being cautious and rigorous, which is completely opposite to Volgograd Canidi's evaluation. It shows that as he grew up, he also got rid of the irritable shortcomings of his youth.
Therefore, Casio Tagg is indeed a person with great potential. Although he may not be as good as those monster-like characters from major games and movies in the hibernation cabin of the mothership, he is still a very practical talent.
You can't rely on the talents in the hibernation cabin everywhere, right? Sometimes, there will be a lot of conflicts between those geniuses who are amazingly talented but have outstanding personalities. Just like the previous conflict between Ling Liang and Severance Tann.
"In my opinion, I would rather teach the fresh graduates who graduated from the Dawn Planet Naval Academy than be with this outsider." Canidi said honestly.
"Then give it a try, maybe he will surprise you. This matter has been decided, don't let me push this matter in the form of orders." Tang Xiao said lightly.
Kanidi took a deep breath, stopped talking, nodded and closed the communication.
But Tang Xiao’s affairs were not over yet. Soon, Helmut Zemo knocked on the door and walked in. He said respectfully to him: "Your Majesty, if you want to catch up with the endless super As for the maiden voyage ceremony of the aircraft carrier, I think you must set off within today. In addition, from the Secret Intelligence Department, Solomon Lane's first report on the Model sector has been submitted. You said before that you wanted to do it in person. Passing by..."
Tang Xiao exclaimed, "Is time so tight?"
Zemo smiled slightly and said, "I think this is because you spent a lot of time on Sonya Tag. Four whole days. Of course, I believe you should be very happy with what happened in these four days. That woman seems to be to your taste..."
A trace of cruelty appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth. , "What tastes to me is not her body itself, but the aura about her. What else is more pleasurable than holding the leader of the most powerful wealthy family in the galaxy in the palm of my hand and torturing me at will? Moreover, Her spirit is very tenacious, and she can still maintain her consciousness after experiencing such torture, which makes me look forward to the day when she will be destroyed..."
"We are all eagerly looking forward to the arrival of this day, and I will do my best to achieve this goal. Your Excellency..." Zemo saluted respectfully again and said, "Furthermore, what you did to Sonya Tag also made me even more excited..."< br>
"Excited? Where is the excitement?" Tang Xiao asked. "This shows me that you still maintain your interest in women despite your busy schedule." Zemo said with a smile, "In fact, everyone in the principality is also looking forward to the birth of your heir..."
Tang Xiao's expression changed instantly, and the extremely terrifying force of the dark side suddenly pressed forward. This terrifying power made Zemo retreat repeatedly, and finally knelt down on one knee with a pop!
His voice also became eerie and terrifying, "Do you want to say that I should give birth to an heir as an heir? Inherit what? Inherit after my death?! Then should you tell me? , When will I die? "
Helmut Zemo was extremely horrified, and cold sweat continued to drip. At this moment, he understood more deeply the violence hidden in Tang Xiao's heart! Even though he has become much better at controlling his emotions after he has mastered the Death Force, this does not mean that Tang Xiao is an easy monarch to get along with now!
"No... I dare not... I dare not... My lord, there is only you, the Grand Duke! Your eternal life is my greatest and most ardent hope! I dare not have any second thoughts! "Zemo kept kneeling on one knee, lowered his head and explained quickly, "I mean... if you, Grand Duke, can have an heir, after raising it, he will become a great help to our fourth civilization!"
"Hehehehehe..." Tang Xiao walked over with a serious smile and gently helped Zemo up. However, the pressure of the dark side did not go away at all. Zemo was dripping with cold sweat and still did not dare to show any slightness.
"When did you become so incapable of speaking? Zemo." Tang Xiao sneered, his cold hand gently swept across Zemo's throat, "To me, Zisi The meaning is completely different. It is not even a necessary thing. Do you understand? If I really die, I will bring the entire civilization to my death. At the same time, I don’t need an heir. I hope you... can understand this. "
"Yes... everything we have is created by you, sir. It is our honor to die for you..." Zemo said quickly.
Tang Xiao's expression instantly became sunny, and the terrible pressure was immediately swept away, and the cold and stagnant air in the room seemed to immediately become comfortable. He patted Zemo on the shoulder and said: "Of course, I also understand your concerns. I had never paid attention to my personal marriage problems before. It was not until more than ten years after the establishment of the Fourth Civilization that I finally talked to Adele. -Ulan got married, but after the marriage, he ignored her for a long time and didn't touch her at all. After that, until now, Adele and I have had sex many times, but there is no sign of pregnancy. It is natural for you to be anxious. "
"Yes..." Although the pressure was gone, Zemo was still sweating. He was also reflecting on himself. Maybe it was because Tang Xiao was in a good mood and his temper was much better recently, which made him slack off a little.
But the issue of heir is indeed the problem of every king. In addition, Tang Xiao has been exploring the way to eternal life, which makes him even more sensitive to this matter.
To suddenly mention this matter at this time was indeed because he was too carried away.
Zemo just wanted to slap himself twice right away.
Tang Xiao stood there thinking for a while, his smile faded, and he said slowly: "However, in order to consolidate the relationship between me and the Ulan family, I really need to talk to Adele Ulan. In the meantime, I have a child. Please arrange for her to go to the planet Semels with me to participate in the maiden voyage ceremony of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier."
"Yes..." Zemo responded with his head. .
......
The eastern border of the Milky Way, the planet Semels.
This is a planet located at the core of the area controlled by the Federation of Independent Systems, and includes the planet Felucia, the planet Dark, the planet Ossus, the subplanet Laxus, the planet Mulkana, etc. Together, these planets form the main strength of the Federation of Independent Systems.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems was already in dire straits at the end of the Galactic Republic. Specifically, it started after Palpatine, who was still the Speaker of the Republic at the time, issued an order to recover the local defense fleets of all planets.
The Galactic Republic used tens of thousands of recovered warships to launch a fierce attack on the Confederation of Independent Systems. These warships are generally old warships from the local defense fleet, and they are mainly small and medium-sized warships, but the number There were simply too many for the Confederacy of Independent Systems to resist.
At that time, the Galactic Republic gathered various armies and launched a six-pronged attack on the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Principality of Dawn.
In this series of attacks, the Confederacy of Independent Systems basically lost part of the central sector occupied by General Grievous's Festival Offensive in the first year of the Clone War, and at the beginning of the second year of the war The Central Ring and even a small part of the inner ring star area were occupied during the Central Ring Attack operation launched.
At the same time, because in the northeast, the Confederacy of Independent Systems lacked a planet strong enough to support it, it was overwhelmed by the Republic's Ninth Army and Tenth Army, and was eventually completely defeated.
It was also this series of victories that allowed Dunn Wessex, the governor of the Ninth Army of the Republic, to emerge as the King of the North, laying a solid foundation for his subsequent rapid rise.
In addition, in the southeast direction, Wilhuff Tarkin's Fourth Army and the 15th, 16th, and 17th armies attacked all the way to regain the planet Rylos and rebuild the 14th Army. military.
During this process, the only area actually controlled by the Federation of Independent Systems was the eastern region of the Milky Way. And if Severance Tann hadn't launched a battle in the outer star field of the planet Mandalore to destroy the main fleet of the Republic's Second Army taken away by Mace Windu, perhaps their life would have been even more difficult.
Of course, strictly speaking, even if the southwest of the galaxy where the Principality of Dawn is located has made peace with the Galactic Empire alone, the northwest of the galaxy controlled by the Interstellar Banking Association (M), the Fourth Group, and the Geth are still in a certain state. In a sense, it is also within the control range of the Confederation of Independent Systems, but the only area that Count Dooku can really control now is the Eastern Territory.
This star region is naturally the most powerful star region of the Federation of Independent Systems.
The planet Semels is now one of the most important industrial worlds in the Confederation of Independent Systems. (End of this chapter)
