The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2499: The Great Purge (Part )

2500: The Great Purge (Part )

That's right, those senior officials and elders who really had the power to stop this from happening, all kept silent! The ones who are making the most noise now are actually just some relatively marginal people!

It was even difficult for Adelaide Tagg to judge whether these people were really opposing or just acting.

There is indeed no way, as Orman Tagg is too powerful in the family now.

Allman Tag is the eldest son of Sonja Tag and was originally the first heir to the family. In addition, he was already known as a super genius at a young age. At the age of 17, he independently designed the L1-L8 combat robot that could compete with the B-9 combat robot. Not only that, he is also a super soldier with extraordinary strength.

He originally had a very high reputation in the family, and the fact that he was the first heir made many elders and senior members of the family stand on his side, not for any other reason, just because they hoped to climb this big tree as soon as possible.

Because relatively speaking, the team around the then current head of the family, Sanya Tag, was basically fixed, and it was extremely difficult to get in. Therefore, those who had no room for advancement but were capable and ambitious mostly gathered around Orman Tag.

As time went by, Orman Tag began to constantly blame Sonja Tag's wavering policy for preventing the Tag family from reaping the benefits of the war. He constantly compared it with the rise of the Xina Fleet System, believing that it was because of Sonja's conservatism that the opportunity was missed. Otherwise, Tag Company could easily take over all of the current shares of the Xina Fleet System. By then, Tag Company would be able to compete with the Kuat Power Dockyard just by taking out the military industry, not to mention other areas.

Tag Corporation will become the largest economic entity in the galaxy.

This prospect was too tempting, making Allman Tag's statement extremely inflammatory, and many people joined his side. In addition, the Galactic Empire completely defeated the Confederation of Independent Systems later. At that time, the Kingdom of Dawn, which was hiding in a corner, became the only enemy in the entire galaxy.

No one would think that the Kingdom of Dawn had any chance at that time, including most of the Tag family.

Therefore, when Sonya Tag asked the family to keep a distance from the war and not invest a lot of resources in the war, Orman Tag, who advocated war, advocated binding with the Galactic Empire, and advocated standing on the side of the victor, and his supporters completely overwhelmed Sonya.

In addition, with Palpatine secretly fanning the flames behind the scenes, Orman Tag, who had the support of the emperor, was able to take action against Sonya Tag, eventually killing her and inheriting the position of patriarch.

In the original story, Allman Tag did it. He brought the Tag family and company into a deep bond with the Galactic Empire, established the Enterprise Administration, rectified the internal affairs of the Galactic Empire, and was appreciated by Palpatine, and his status rose. Although he did not reach his ideal position as the second-in-command of the Empire, he was still one of the most powerful people in the Empire.

Then, he led the Tag family and the empire into the abyss. In the end, what Domina Tag saved was only a tiny fraction of the power of Tag Company in its heyday.

The Tag family, once the first family of the Galactic Empire, declined.

Of course, now Sanya Tag did not die quietly as in the original plot. Therefore, when she went to Tang Xiao for treatment, she, who was more mature and far-sighted, saw a side that others had never seen.

The truly powerful side of the Kingdom of Dawn!

Sonja Tag no longer believed that the Galactic Empire had the ability to win this war. It was right to stand on the side of the victor, but the winner would not be the Galactic Empire.

But these are things that the Tagg family cannot see now, including Adelaide Tagg.

At this family summit, all she could see was Orman Tagg's omnipotence and the dire situation of the entire family.

Sure enough, after those people had quarreled enough, Orman Tag stood up and gave a passionate speech. He painted a very magnificent picture for everyone, building the Death Star, gaining the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, and commanding the Death Star to help the Emperor and the Empire eliminate all enemies. Then the family power entered the military naturally, and the fourth brother Yurik Tag would become the Imperial Marshal, and the youngest sister Domina Tag would join the Holy Circle Order and become the Saint of the Order.

Then, the Tag family will flourish in the fields of economy, politics, military, religion, etc., and become the actual controller of the entire Galactic Empire.

By then, everyone here will be guaranteed to be a star governor!

Sure enough, after Orman Tag finished his speech, the real senior leaders of the family and the elders finally stood up and spoke.

Although they expressed it in different ways, they still agreed with Allman Tagg's crazy plan! The atmosphere at the summit became extremely heated, and almost everyone was discussing the brilliant future. Not only that, they also praised Allman Tagg for proposing this grand plan.

At this moment, Allman Tagg stood in the center of the venue like a king, accepting everyone's worship and praise. The previous voices of opposition had all disappeared at this moment. This very clever atmosphere made those who were originally sincerely opposed dare not speak at all.

Adelaide Tag sighed softly. In the end, is he still the one guarding the family's last line of defense?

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then pressed the loudspeaker and shouted at the top of her voice: "I object!"

The voices of everyone at the scene disappeared, and countless pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, as if countless sharp swords pierced Adelaide's body from all angles.

"Oh, it seems that the Ministry of Finance finally wants to participate in our grand plan. Welcome." Orman Tag showed a bright smile and made a very artificial gesture of invitation.

"The Ministry of Finance opposes this plan." Adelaide's expression returned to being cold. At this moment, she looked like an ice-sculptured goddess, cold and beautiful, but her words were sharper than ice thorns!

"If this plan is implemented, the Tag family will only face destruction!" Adelaide said loudly, "We don't have enough funds and resources to complete the Death Star project. If we want to use the Advanced Technology Alliance to let the Kuat Power Dockyard and other military-industrial complexes share the responsibility, whether we can achieve our goal is a small problem. The real fatal thing is that if these military-industrial complexes suddenly withdraw their funds after the initial investment, then our company's assets will be at risk of being harvested!"

These very direct words made Orman Tagg feel a little embarrassed, and he said casually: "Everything you said can't happen." "Do you need me to analyze it for you from a more professional perspective?" Adelaide Tagg retorted. She directly took out a memory device and shook it.

Allman Tagg stared at the storage device with an ugly expression, and his eyes unconsciously looked several times towards Felix Tagg who was sitting behind Adelaide.

He certainly knew that his claim could not stand up to scrutiny, and he was also very clear about Adelaide's professional ability. Therefore, if Adelaide Tagg really took out the detailed data analysis, the essence of his project, even if it was covered under the false and empty guise, would be exposed.

This will cause him to lose the support of his family immediately!

Allman Tagg stared at Adelaide Tagg. If possible, he even wanted to grab this bitch off the stage and kill her on the spot!

But no.

All I saw was Adelaide Tagg placing the storage device in the playback device in front of him, ready to project the contents in front of everyone.

She glanced at Allman-Tag and said coldly: "Your conspiracy will not succeed."

With a snap, Adelaide Tagg pressed the projection button.

"Ah~~~~~~Oh~~~" A bone-numbing moan was heard, and then an unbearable image appeared on this giant holographic projection that could be seen by everyone in the venue.

Two unknown men and women, naked, entangled together... There is no doubt that this is a love action movie!

Seeing this scene, Adelaide Tagg's narrow eyes seemed to lose their spirit instantly. Such a huge blow and change made her fall into a dazed state, as if she had really turned into an ice sculpture.

The assistant beside him was quick to take down the memory card, and the unsightly projection disappeared. However, before that, it had been playing for more than ten seconds.

There was a murmur, then laughter.

"Oh, it seems, Mrs. Adelaide, you want to tell us that you had a good time last night?" Orman Tagg said very viciously. Although it was obvious that the two people on the projection just now were not Adelaide, his words made everyone think in this direction.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!" The laughter gradually became more unbridled, and those people began to laugh crazily after seeing Allman Tagg's attitude. Even though they usually saw Adelaide Tagg like a mouse seeing a cat, but now, seeing that the once high and mighty cat had suffered such a major blow, they would naturally be happy to come over and add insult to injury.

Amidst countless ridicules, Adelaide Tagg seemed like a naked girl, at a loss as to what to do in the public eye.

"Things are out of control! That bastard Orman Tagg really bribed Felix!!" In an inconspicuous corner, Sonya Tagg said angrily.

"Their plans were all completed outside... Damn it!" Luna-Huan was a little unwilling, "Should we do something now?!"

"Don't do that." Luna Meng stopped her sister in a rare move. "It's hard to guarantee that there aren't spies from the Empire at a summit like this. If we act rashly, we might end up being exposed."

"Don't be impulsive. There is still hope... At least, we are still in the dark." Sanya Tag said in a deep voice, "Now that Orman Tag's ambition has been fully exposed, I have to take action as well."

At this time, Felix Tagg, who had always been silent in meetings and just sat quietly behind Adelaide Tagg, suddenly stood up!

It is not enough to just embarrass Adelaide Tagg. Now that the decision has been made, it must be carried out to the end! Let this woman who has always been high and mighty, from now on, have to crawl at my feet!

Felix Tagg cleared his throat and said in a loud and magnetic voice: "I object to what Mrs. Adelaide said, because in fact, our family's finances can fully meet the requirements of building the Death Star. Everything she said is false."

As he said that, he walked out from his seat and headed towards Orman Tag. He needed to avoid the people from the Ministry of Finance. Then, he came to Orman Tag's side, placed a storage device on the projector over there, and projected a long list of data.

"Adelaide Tagg has been falsifying the company's financial statements to create the illusion that the company is in financial difficulty. In fact, this is just her way of monopolizing power and strangling the necks of other departments through finances. Because only when funds are tight can her importance be shown, right?" Felix Tagg said coldly.

Adelaide Tagg finally came to her senses. Her beautiful eyes were almost spitting fire. She stared at Felix Tagg so hard that her teeth were almost broken! She spat out a word from the depths of her throat, "You...you actually..."

Her body swayed and she fainted!

But Felix Tagg raised his hand and said loudly: "Now that Adelaide is involved in a scandal and cannot serve as a director, I will take over the position of Minister of Finance. Now I declare that the Ministry of Finance will fully support Mr. Orman's plan!"

Clap, clap, clap! Allman Tagg was the first to applaud. "Mr. Felix, you have proven your wisdom and loyalty to the company. On behalf of the entire company and family, I thank you for your support. I believe that when we move towards glory in the future, your support will be a highlight!"

The entire venue was filled with thunderous applause. Almost everyone was clapping, laughing, and partying!

In this carnival of chaos, Sanya Tag sighed and said, "Now, I must get Tang Xiao's help. Orman Tag, who has the administrative and financial power, will cause us devastating damage."

"Oh! Have you finally decided to surrender?" Luna-Huan turned to look at her with a playful smile.

"I can't let Tag become the second Rendili Interstellar Dynamics. We don't have the foundation to support such a huge change. However, there are many things I can do... Master Dream, I need your full help." Sonya Tag said earnestly.
