The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2286. Fierce reaction

"Baron Sonya, the patriarch of the Tagg family, one of the most powerful families in the galaxy, died of a sudden heart attack recently. Orman Tagg, the eldest son of the Tagg family, inherited the title of Baron Sonya and became the new patriarch of the Tagg family."

"The Galactic Empire, headed by the Tagg family, has established a consortium including top industrial technology companies such as Xina Fleet Systems, Corellia Engineering Company, Quat Power Dockyard, and Nubian Power Company. This consortium will Gather the cutting-edge technology and industrial power of these companies to research more powerful and advanced weapons for the Galaxy Empire." Tang Xiao read out the information in his hand, then threw away the micro-terminal and sneered.

"What is this? The second Technology Alliance? How stupid. After the real Technology Alliance surrendered to the Empire, they just didn't know how to deal with themselves, and now they gave them the final blow? Is this another attempt to force the Technology Alliance to rebel?" Tang Xiao He mocked, "Is this a plan that carbon-based organisms can think of?"

"Your Excellency, shouldn't the more critical point in this matter be the death of Sonya Tagg? This is too strange. Once Sonya dies, all the influence we have exerted on the Tagg family will be completely destroyed. Yeah." Helmut Zemo said with great concern.

"Sanya's death is the least thing to worry about. I can arrange it freely." Tang Xiao knocked on the table with his knuckles and asked: "This thing created by the Tag family... what should I call it? Well, industry Alliance. What do you think about this?"

Helmut Zemo's face showed excitement, and he quickly said: "As expected of the Grand Duke! Everything is under your control!"

He paused and then said: "As for the Technology Alliance, I think that in the Tagg family's plan, they are treated as food. After the Technology Alliance surrendered to the Galactic Empire, its position has been very embarrassing, and the official orders within the empire have been queued up. It's not their turn, and their own assets are still being acquired, so they have no other value to the Galactic Empire except as food. In the past, it was not easy for the Empire to deal with them because of their proactive surrender attitude. Now that Allman Tagg is here to be the villain, Palpatine is naturally happy to see it happen."

He added: "As for this industrial alliance, I think it is an inevitable choice to deal with our technological advantages. As for why the leader is the Tagg family, this is very interesting..."

"You mean, the Tag family is not qualified?" Tang Xiao asked.

Zemo said: "I think they are qualified, but not qualified... The reason why they are qualified is because the size of Tag Company is indeed large enough. The reason why they are not qualified is because after all, they are only a half-military and half-civilian company. , as an alliance with purely military purposes, it is actually no more suitable than the Quat Power Shipyard or the Xina Fleet System, so I think it is just that the other companies do not want to be taken advantage of. "

"Take advantage of yourself?" Tang Xiao asked.

Zemo nodded and said: "To maintain such a loose alliance, how can we make those industrial giants who are strong and qualified enough to be on an equal footing with them obedient? The answer is - money. Only Tag Company is the leader of those projects. , Provide enough start-up capital, and several other industrial giants will follow suit. Otherwise, Allman Tagg, a young man with a stupid head, cannot command anyone. "

"It's not without its benefits. At least now, Allman Tagg must be a popular figure under Palpatine." Tang Xiao thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

It seems that something good is about to happen.

"Actually, by giving the Tagg family some illusory status and promises in exchange for their real funds and resources, Palpatine's business is really too profitable." Zemo said, "Now we have to consider , with the Tag family investing all their resources into the Galactic Empire, how much strength will the Galactic Empire gain as a result.”

Tang Xiao smiled coldly and said: "It's not that simple... The Tagg family's miraculous creation of more than 200 years was simply given to Palpatine by Allman Tagg in exchange for some nothingness. Promise? Allman is a fool, but the Taggs are not.”

"This is indeed very possible." Zemo lowered his head and said, "So, do we need to respond to this matter?"

Tang Xiao stood up and said slowly: "No, we are not the ones who need to react."

…

The Imperial Center, the capital of the Galactic Empire, is 1,000 floors underground.

In this place where some workers and civilians should have lived, there is an extremely luxurious palace hidden deep in countless buildings.

A tall and strong Farin man was leaning against the gorgeous silk fabrics, enjoying the service of more than a dozen female slaves. His face was sinister, and there was a black sun mark printed on his gorgeous clothes.

Black sun!

The identity of this person is naturally coming out. The former leader of the Black Sun, Xommit Glenset, was killed by Darth Maul, and the original guard captain Zydon Moji became the new leader of the Black Sun.

But the problem is that at that time, six of the nine Vigors of the Black Sun were killed in Narshada along with Xommit Glenset. However, there were three Vigos who were not in Nar Shaddaa at the time.

This person is one of the three Vigos, Prince Xizor of House Sizhran, a Falinite.

During the Clone Wars, Black Sun relied on Palpatine's secret support to grow. Prince Xizor was naturally Palpatine's ally. He basically never went back to the planet Falin, but lived in the center of the empire for a long time. In the dark world, serve Palpatine.

A subordinate in combat uniform walked in, knelt on the ground and presented a memory device to Prince Xizor. At the same time, he said: "Your Highness, this is information sent from unknown channels. I hope you will check it personally."

Prince Xizor waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to hand over the memory. He pressed the button to open the memory, only to hear an extremely arrogant voice coming from inside, "If I can get closer to His Majesty, I think, maybe I can do it." Provide more advice to His Majesty in the fields of business and technology... People like Darth Vader who only blindly spread fear but know nothing about other aspects will only make His Majesty's work busier...]

Hearing this voice, he was stunned for a moment.

Hearing this voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst out into a burst of wild and terrifying laughter, "Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!! Orman Tag, you idiot, you actually said this to the emperor Your Majesty said that? Hahahahaha!"
