Chapter 250 Stevenson appears again
Georgia Hotel, in a suite on the top floor.
Back here, Pips hung his suit jacket on the hanger, picked up a bottle of whiskey from the counter, poured it on the glass, and took a sip.
But when he thought of the embarrassing moment in the court just now, he became so angry that he slammed the cup to the ground.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Peristerdam walked in and said: "Mr. Peoples, Stevenson is here and said he wants to see you. ”
"Stevenson?"
Pips looked suspicious, and then asked: "Are you talking about the former governor of Nevada?"
"Yes."< br>
After receiving the confirmation, the suspicion on Peoples' face became more intense. He had no friendship with Stevenson, he only knew that the other person was the former governor of Nevada.
And he also heard some rumors. It was said that the governor's resignation had something to do with David, who was previously in Nevada, but he didn't know if it was true.
Could it be...that the other party came to him this time because of this?
This is possible. After all, he is now the leader in criticizing the black tax bill. If Stevenson really has a grudge against David, he will follow the principle that the enemy of his enemy is his friend and want to come to him. It's reasonable to deal with David.
Thinking of this, Pips put away his thoughts and replied: "Then invite him over."
Five or six minutes later, Peristerdam pushed the door in, and he Behind him was none other than former Nevada Governor Stevenson.
Compared with the high-spirited man who sat on the governor's throne at this time, Stevenson's eyes were a bit more vicissitudes at this time, but after seeing Pips, he still showed a kind smile and said: " Congressman Peoples, nice to meet you.”
"Governor Stevenson, I'm glad to see you too."
"I'm no longer the governor, just call me Stevenson. Oh, by the way, I believe Representative Pipes You must be curious why I came to see you?"
Pips nodded.
"Actually, it's nothing. I came today just to express my support for you, Congressman Pipes. You are right to criticize the black tax bill. This bill has too much power. It is being used by some people If used, it will sooner or later become a monster that devours everyone and should be abolished."
Stevenson and David have a sworn hatred, and after he was forced to abdicate, he It’s a painful experience.
The reason why he ended up like this was entirely because the power given to the IRS by the Black Tax Act was too great.
So if you want to take revenge, you must get rid of the black tax bill!
But just when he didn't know how to proceed, three congressmen named Peoples gave him a surprise and jumped out to fire the first shot for him.
But it is a pity that both in the subsequent TV debates and now that the Camorra family has been extremely defeated, the three congressmen of Peoples have been disgraced.
The main reason why he came here today was because he was worried that the three MPs would choose to back down after experiencing this bad experience, so he came here to cheer him up.
When Pips heard this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes. After being used by some people, wasn't this referring to David?
It seems that his guess was correct. Stevenson really came to deal with David!
But having said that, although he is now at odds with David because of the black tax bill, Stevenson's attitude of wanting to kill people with a borrowed knife and giving condescending instructions still makes him a little unhappy.
I am a congressman, but you are just a retired governor. Who are you to come to me and teach me how to do things?
Stevenson also saw the unhappiness on Peoples' face, and he immediately explained: "Don't misunderstand Congressman Peoples, this matter not only involves you, but it is also my duty. I will help you!”
Peoples looked at him with disdain: "How can you help?"
Stevenson raised the corner of his mouth and said: "The midterm elections are coming soon, and I have won the party Nominated within the election, he will run for the New York State Senate. "
" New York State Senator?"
Pipps' face changed drastically. He has been re-elected for more than three terms. No one knows better than him the difficulty of running for the Senate.
If the senator was so easy to elect, then he wouldn't have to hang out in the House of Representatives for three consecutive years.
And now Stevenson actually dares to run for office in a state as difficult as New York. The most important thing is that he has also won the party's nomination for election. This is no small matter.
What is Stevenson’s background?
In the United States, there are more than 500 members of the House and Senate alone, and there are as many as a thousand candidates, and there are countless politicians from all over the country. He and Steven I'm not familiar with Sen, so I don't know who or what forces are behind this person.
Stevenson was satisfied with the shock shown by Peeples. He nodded and said, "That's right."
Pips asked sharply: "It's so difficult to run for the Senate. You dare to choose any position, Mr. Stevenson, you must have a big backer, right?”
"To be honest, my mother-in-law comes from the Mogan family."
Stevenson came here just to cheer Pips up, so he didn't mind publishing his network to let the other party know. Take a reassurance.
Sure enough, after hearing about the Mogen family, Pipps was surprised at first, but then he suddenly understood. He said: "No wonder Mr. Stevenson dared to run for the Senate and won the party. It turns out that there is still this relationship between you and me as a candidate for internal election..."
"So, I am here to ask you to continue to stick to your own judgment and not give up easily when encountering some setbacks!"
"Mr. Stevenson, you are right."
If it had been before, when he heard Stevenson use such condescending words again, Pipps would definitely have a fit.
However, when he heard that he was planning to run for the Senate, and most importantly, he was related to the Mogan family, he not only had a seizure, but now he instantly transformed into a person who was listening carefully. Dog licking gesture.
After all, that is the Mogen family, one of the top families in the United States. It is said that they also control such a behemoth as the Federal Reserve, which he cannot afford to offend.
“I watched your TV debate a few days ago. Although you were at a disadvantage, there is one thing I think you should take advantage of. For example, you should lobby the committee responsible for the black tax bill in Congress and report to it. They elaborated on the investigation of you by the Western Suburbs Branch, which will definitely cause concern to the committee members..."
"To be honest, I have had this plan for a long time, but it was just that the members of the Camorra family were The matter has been delayed for some time. Don’t worry, I will go to Washington tomorrow morning to lobby the committee on this matter.”
"Very well, let's call it a day. But Congressman Pipps, you have to remember that we are in the same camp. You can also say that I will always be your backing!" Pips secretly rejoiced. He originally criticized Black It is a surprise that the tax bill has attracted the support of so many criminals.
Unexpectedly, this is the real unexpected surprise.
If things continue like this, as long as Stevenson is really elected as a senator, he will be a major political ally, not to mention the possibility of getting in touch with the Mogen family. !
But soon, he seemed to have thought of something again, and some doubts and entanglements appeared on his face.
Stevenson on the side also saw his doubts and entanglements, and asked boldly: "What, Congressman Pipps, do you have anything else to ask?"
Pipps bit down. Lips, finally said: "Mr. Stevenson, with all due respect, it is rumored that the reason why you resigned as governor of Nevada early was because of David?"
Hearing this, Shi Stevenson's originally quite complacent face suddenly darkened, and he said with hatred in his eyes: "That's right!"
After receiving the confirmation, Pipps' heart was filled with waves.
The rumors are just rumors after all, and now that they have been confirmed by the person involved, the impact this will have on him is naturally not small.
You know, being able to reach the level of governor in the United States is almost like a Turkish emperor, so he doesn't quite understand how David was able to push Stevenson to this point.
What's more, he now knows that Stevenson is supported by the Mogan family, which is even more puzzling for him.
"Forgive me for asking again. David was just a small tax collector in Nevada at the time. How could you, Mr. Stevenson, be reduced to this situation?"
Although exposing someone's scars may cause displeasure to others, Pips is really curious in his heart. Secondly, if Stevenson can't give a reasonable explanation, then he will have to suspect the devil. What happened to the relationship between the Roots and Stevenson.
Stevenson clenched his fists, and finally said slowly: "I have to admit, this bastard is quite capable..."
After a few minutes, Pips finally understood, but at the same time there was a look of shock on his face.
According to Stevenson's personal description, David not only mastered many of his own tax evasion methods, but what is even more shocking is that David actually did not know what method he used to evade Nevada. A series of people including the Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor of the state government instigated rebellion, which resulted in Stevenson being directly sidelined, and if it hadn't been for the intervention of the Mogan family, he would have been almost ruined.
This guy... is a bit scary!
Pips knew that David was a ruthless character, but what he didn't expect was that he was so ruthless and could actually turn the entire state government of a state into a puppet.
If this happens in California...it's impossible!
As soon as this idea came up, Pips rejected it instantly.
California is the number one state in the United States after all, and it is not comparable to the backwaters of Nevada. It’s okay for David to call the shots in his western suburbs, but he still thinks too much about controlling such a huge California. Got it!
"So, Congressman Pipps, you have to be lucky that you are a member of Congress, otherwise if David has the information about you, you might be standing in court now."
Pips came back to his senses after Stevenson's words. On the contrary, if he did not have the talismanic status of a member of Congress, and he criticized the black tax bill and repeatedly opposed David, he would not know what his end would have been. .
But then again, if he was not a member of Congress, how could he dare to stand up and confront the IRS in such a big way?
Of course, his status as a congressman still does not carry enough weight. If he were now a senator, the effect of standing up to criticize the black tax bill would be different.
It seems that since we have chosen to attack the black tax bill, we must increase our efforts so that we can have a chance to be elected as a senator when the mid-term elections come!
……
The next day, the Western Suburbs Bureau, the Director’s Office.
“After the trial ended yesterday, most of the lawless elements in Los Angeles who originally shouted for Pips have ceased their activities, and only a small part of them are still going on...”
Listening to Keanu's report, David nodded. It was pretty much what he expected. As long as he killed the leader of the Camorra family, the lawless elements would become much quieter, and he had achieved the effect he wanted.
While thinking, Nissen walked in, put a few photos on the table, and said seriously: "Director, these are the photos captured by the Intelligence Division, please take a look."
< br>David picked it up and took a look, and saw that he was not unfamiliar with the location in the photo, which was the Georgia Hotel. However, this did not attract much attention from him. What really attracted his attention was the appearance of a black Cadillac. A man walked down.
This man is an old acquaintance of his, former Nevada Governor Stevenson!
“What is he doing here?”
"This is Pipps' stop. He is going to meet Pipps."
David rested his chin on his hand. Since the last time he removed this guy from power in Nevada, He had never paid much attention to the other party. Unexpectedly, he suddenly popped up again this time. It seemed that he was going to collude with Pips.
But then again, as a resigned governor, what confidence does he have to collude with other members of Congress?
Is it just a matter of cheering?
No...
The last time David wanted to kill Stevenson, he received an order from the top management of the General Administration to stop. This proved that Stevenson still had some connections.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Bucky and said: "Let the Intelligence Section continue to pay attention to Stevenson, and also check what this guy is doing during this time!"
“Understood.”
As soon as Bucky left, David’s phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it. When he saw that it was Donald, he immediately answered the call. Get up: "Deputy Director Donald."
"David, let me ask you something, have you really investigated Pips?"
David was startled, and then immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"The three guys from Pips took a flight to Washington early this morning. They went to Congress to find the committee responsible for the black tax bill. , lobbying on the grounds that your western suburbs branch is investigating members of Congress, which has caused us to be very passive now..."
