2496, Phantoms and Civil Disorder

"Take the command of Death Star? Can such a thing be done?" Silas Tagg frowned and expressed his incredibleness.

"Now the Imperial Army is clearing out those Geonos. No Geonos on the planet Tarasia will survive. In other words, no one can complete the construction of the Death Star in the entire Milky Way... except us!" Allman Tag said solemnly.

"But it takes huge amounts of funds and materials to build the Death Star, and we cannot afford it." Silas Tagg said.

"Building by the cutting-edge technology alliance, this is equivalent to the joint responsibility of many military-industrial complexes, including Quart Power Dock. No problem," said Allman Tagg. "After the parliamentary meeting, I took the initiative to meet His Majesty the Emperor and told him this idea."

Speaking of this, the smile on Allman Tagg's face was completely unstoppable. It is not difficult to imagine the situation at that time. Palpatine, who was extremely angry, scolded everyone and even executed several members of the parliament on the spot. However, Allman Tagg was able to go over and talk to Palpatine alone and was not punished yet.

Doesn’t this alone mean that he has a completely different position in front of His Emperor?

"Although His Majesty was still very angry at the time, he obviously admired my plan very much. He even told me that if I could finally complete the Death Star project, I would get what I wanted! Hahahaha!" Allman Tagg said this and couldn't help but dance.

"Hahahaha... I have mentioned what I want to do with His Majesty many times! Only I can share His Majesty's worries, and I am the one who has the ability and qualifications to serve His Majesty! Hahaha... In other words, once we complete the construction of the Death Star, in the entire Galaxy Empire, I am a person above ten thousand people!" Alman Tagg became more and more excited as he spoke. He clenched his fists and waved hard at the air. "Darth Vader, that crazy 'wizard', can only be abandoned in the corner of no one with his anti-gravity trick! The so-called Force is just a lie! Only industry, only industry is the real power!!"

Silas Tagg nodded and said, "If we can mobilize the power of cutting-edge technology alliances, I think it can."

"Tomorrow, a company senior management summit will be held to announce this matter to everyone. Starting today, all the family and company resources will be invested in the construction of Death Star!" Allman Tagg said sternly.

"Wow! Should I say this guy is really stupid or pretending to know nothing?" A blond girl in a red dress stood behind Allman Tagg, covering her mouth and exclaimed.

"Ah... he has completely sunk under the temptation of power. Now in his eyes, he can't see anything else. All he sees... is power." Sanya Tag was wearing a very simple long dress with very simple materials. He looked at his eldest son in front of him and shook his head and sighed, "Didn't he notice that Palpatine actually didn't make any promises?"

"You will get what you want! Hahahaha!" Luna Huan, impressed Palpatine's tone very exaggeratedly, and then laughed so hard that she fell back and forth.

"I don't think he didn't know it, but his enthusiasm for power made him selectively ignore these bad judgments for him." Luna-Meng said lightly.

Sanya Tagg shook his head and sighed: "But... I think he can still succeed this time."

"Oh? Are all the Tagg family like this?" Luna asked.

Sanya Tag's expression was very heavy, she said: "It's not that they can't see it, but that they have to do it."

She covered her chest with at least E with great pain, feeling heartbroken, "In order to support Allman Tagg to take office, they did not hesitate to murder me, the former patriarch. Allman Tagg also reciprocates and gave them great benefits... They cannot turn back. Once they oppose Allman Tagg, their legitimacy will be questioned. If at that time, what awaits them will be the charge of murdering the patriarch."

"So, compared to being liquidated, they would rather let the entire Tag Company and the Tag family follow Allman Tag's unrealistic ambitions into the abyss." Luna Meng concluded lightly.

"Yes." Sanya Tagg took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

"So, are you going to do it?" Luna-Meng turned her head and looked at Sangya and asked.

Sanya Tagg nodded and said, "Yes. I will do something when Allman Tagg holds a company meeting tomorrow. I cannot let these borers completely destroy the foundation left by our ancestors."

The three of them stood carelessly in front of Allman Tagg and Silas Tagg, commenting on their actions, but the two of them had no sense of consciousness and were just talking about the next action plan there.

"But I think there may be a big obstacle in Adelaide Tagg. She has always been holding on to the company's finances, preventing us from expanding quickly," said Silas Tagg.

"Indeed... she wouldn't agree to this plan." Allman Tagg thought.

Adelaide Tagge is a side branch of the Tag family. She is Sanya Tagge's niece, and Allman Tagge's cousin. Currently, she and her husband Felix Tagge are the finance minister of Tagge and are in charge of financial power.

Moreover, in the management structure of Tagg Company, the Ministry of Finance is a relatively independent department. It will not participate in company decision-making, but it has independent approval authority for all company expenditures.

This is also a structure established by Taalzan Tag, the founder of Tag Company 200 years ago, ensuring that the finances of a family company such as theirs will not result in irreversible results due to the patriarch's temporary incompetence.

After Allman Tagg took over the family affairs, although he used a large number of family companies' resources in the process of creating cutting-edge technology alliances, the project was approved by Adelaide Tagg. She agreed to the huge expenditure because she recognized the investment, not like others, because she was in love with Allman Tagg, so she sheltered each other.

Adelaide Tagg had no involvement in the murder of Sanya Tagg, and naturally she would not have any other ideas about Allman Tagg. For her, there was only company interests.

So Allman Tagg is only having a headache now.

Because to meet Palpatine's requirements and continue to build the Death Star, it is necessary to use a very huge family resource, and the only reason for him to use this batch of resources is for his ambition. In other words, he is selling the interests of the company and the family in exchange for the favor of the imperial emperor Palpatine.

Adelaide Tagg would never agree to such a thing.

"Why... let's kill her..." Silas Tagg made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"You can't kill her directly. This matter... she must let her husband, Felix Tagg, do it... If you plan this matter, I will discuss it with Adelaide Tagg first." Allman Tagg nodded.

"Bastard!! Are you crazy? How could you do such a thing?!" Sanya Tagg could no longer bear it, and he yelled at Allman Tagg.

However, her voice was not heard by Allman Tagg at all. He was just walking out with great worries.

"Bastard...Bastard...Why do I have such a son..." Sanya Tagg fell to the ground weakly, covering his face and let out a dull sob. "He will ruin the company and the family... If this continues, all of us will die in this war...Why! Why is this happening! Why!!!!"

"Then, let's follow?" Luna Huan said, pointing at Allman Tagg's back.

"I know Adelaide. She will never agree with Allman's delusional proposal. What I worry about now is Felix Tagg... Adelaide's husband." Sanya Tagg said. "We must understand what Felix will think, and I don't trust him. For a long time, the one who really takes over the power of the Treasury is Adelaide. Felix is ​​just a useless dandy."

...

"I really doubt what kind of mentality you proposed such a project, Mr. Allman. From any perspective, it is a suicide project. I tell you very bluntly that if you do this, you will ruin the company." On the other side of the headquarters building, a woman's cold voice rejected Allman Tagg's proposal in a very cold voice.

Moreover, the very unfamiliar and indifferent title of ‘Mr. Alman’ also expresses her position and attitude.

This is a tall woman in her early 30s. She has long golden hair, a beautiful and beautiful appearance, but her expression is as cold as ice.

She is Adelaide Tagg, the head of finance department of Tagg.

The expression on Allman Tagg's face was very ugly. He could achieve his goal at a glance, replacing Darth Vader as the highest assistant in front of His Majesty Palpatine and becoming the second-in-commander of the Empire! But now, he was stopped by this bitch and made the last step! It is absolutely unforgivable!

But he still couldn't turn his back directly, so he patiently explained: "The construction of the Death Star is related to the future of the empire, and it also affects the future of our family. I know that this project will almost bring in most of the company's resources and cannot see any short-term benefits... But believe me, the political benefits we get from it are very huge. We will get the command of the Death Star through this project! You know, this is a super weapon that can directly destroy any planet! With this thing in our hands, we are the well-deserved first family in the Milky Way!"

"Sad Mr. Allman." Adelaide Tagg shook his head and said, "All your ideals and expectations for the DS-1 combat space station project are assumptions. His Majesty the Emperor did not promise to hand over the command of the Death Star to you, nor did he promise to give our family and company any practical benefits because of this project."

Her slender fingers, painted with lavender nail polish and white as jade, tapped gently on the table, "So since that's the case, from my perspective, all I see is a huge black hole that will consume family resources."

"It's not just our family! Quart Power Dock, Corella Engineering will be involved! We will promote this project in the name of cutting-edge technology alliances! The cost will be shared, and our strength will be stronger!" Allman Tagg said loudly.

"Two questions." Adelaide stretched out his two fingers coldly, "First, how do you make sure that the military-industrial complexes of Quat Power Dock will listen to you? Second, the cutting-edge technology alliance is an organization directly belonging to the empire. This alliance itself has no assets, but is promoted by the empire and then distributed to an organization of major military-industrial complexes. So, even if the goal is achieved through this organization and the Death Star is completed, what key role can you play in it? Since it cannot play a key role, how do you ensure that His Majesty the Emperor will hand over super weapons like Death Star to you for command?"

"No! His Majesty the Emperor told me! He will meet all my requirements!" Allman Tagg raised his tone, and he was already furious.

"What are your requirements to meet? Will you pay for your salary?" Adelaide Tagg mocked.

Then she stood up, made a call to the door, and said, "Enough, Mr. Allman. The company's Finance Department will not pass this project. Please go back."

"You..." Allman Tagg clenched his fists, his muscular chest fluctuated violently, and he was completely angry.

But Adelaide still looked as cold as ice, looking at him coldly without any expression.

"Hmph!" Allman Tagg snorted heavily, slammed the door and left.

After he left, Adelaide let out a deep breath, and sat in a chair exhausted manner, pressing and rubbing his temples, almost exhausted.

At this time, a boy about eleven or twelve years old ran in. He looked at Adelaide Tagg and shouted: "Mother! Domina is so hateful! I fell in love with the crystal decoration smuggled from the planet Christopher Sith, and she didn't give it to me!"

Adelaide Tagg said tiredly: "That thing is Domina's birthday gift, not for you. And...even if it is really given to you, you will just smash the precious decoration."
