Chapter 370 The joys and sorrows of the White House
"I am just letting someone take your place now, why don't you keep your network? Do you really want me to drive away all your direct relatives in the Intelligence Department?" This is not reserved, right?"
"This..."
Sawyer was speechless for a while, and it was not until a while later that he replied: "Tell the truth, Dai. Inspector General Wei, Director of the CIA Intelligence Division is an important position. Even if I recommend it, if the president does not agree, it may not be possible for Director Elvis to take the position..."
" The President? He only appoints and removes cabinet members. As long as you all agree on the position of Director of the CIA Intelligence Division, he can't interfere."
There is an old saying in France, "The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals."
This sentence is the same in the United States.
The President of the United States is nominally the supreme head of state, but in fact, he cannot appoint or remove any official position at will.
What he can truly directly appoint and remove are only 25 people in the cabinet, which can also be said to be the ministers of 25 departments.
As for the promotion of officials in each ministry, it is handled by each ministry.
The greatest decision-making power is, of course, in the hands of the top officials of each ministry.
So if Elvis wants to be promoted to the position of Director of the Intelligence Division, as long as the CIA approves it, there will be no problem in the process.
Of course, there is another very important factor besides this.
That is, Elvis is his man, and the White House still relies on him, so it will definitely not get into trouble with him just because of the issue of the director of intelligence.
As for other CIA executives, will they agree?
There are examples of Sawyer and Haltz here. As long as these people are not hot-headed, they will definitely not dare to refuse.
"Okay, then I will do what you say."
Sawyer's heart was bleeding, but he could only grit his teeth and agreed due to pressure.
David's eyes turned to Haltz and said: "Deputy Director Haltz, I also need you to recommend someone to replace you, but who it is, I will give you a name when the time comes!"
The CIA's intelligence department must be in his hands.
Therefore, in addition to the position of director of the Intelligence Division, the position of deputy director in charge must also be taken.
It’s just that he doesn’t have a suitable candidate yet, so he should look carefully in the next few days!
Although it had been expected for a long time, Haltz almost didn't have a seizure when he heard that even his position would be assigned to David's people.
Fortunately, Sawyer on the side quickly grabbed his wrist, which made him calm down.
It took about half a minute to calm down, and Haerz gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will do what you asked, but I hope you can keep your promise and will not threaten you again in the future. We are.”
"Of course, thank you for your cooperation!"
David Chai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stretched out his hand towards them.
Although the two people were full of resentment at this time, they could only suppress it and shook hands with David.
"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't bother you!"
David stood up and walked out the door.
After coming downstairs, Elvis said with gratitude: "Inspector General David, thank you very much for your help to me. If it weren't for you, I might have spent 10 or 20 years, but I might not be able to get from one area to the next." The supervisor was promoted to the position of Director of the Intelligence Department!”
His words were really not flattering.
Although he had been the CIA's regional director for Bear Country before, he still had some status in the department.
But for a key position like the Director of the Intelligence Department, countless families, chaebols, and even senior officials are keeping an eye on it.
With no big family behind him and no support from factions, it is basically impossible to win such a key position.
Of course, this is not actually what he is most grateful to David for.
In fact, David did not need to come in person to threaten Sawyer and Haltz, but in order to ensure that he would not tell the truth in the department, he still chose to come and kill this evil man. This is what he did A point of gratitude.
“No need to thank me. If you hadn’t reminded me last time, maybe I would have been dead in the explosion. Let’s consider this as a reward for you!”
Elvis nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going back to rest. I have a lot of work to do next."
"I'll send you Inspector General David..."
...
This time David returned to Washington to deal with the leak of his whereabouts, and now that the matter has been dealt with, so in The next morning, he got on his private plane again and headed to the next planned state to continue promoting the bill.
In the next few days, David seemed to disappear. No matter how many channels the major media used, they were unable to find out any information about him.
Because he was too low-key, gradually, the media's focus shifted from him to other matters.
However, on November 28, a piece of breaking news came out, which suddenly pushed David to the forefront.
“Hello everyone, this is the New York Observer. According to the information we have received, the IRS has recently implemented a bill called the ‘Off-site Tax Avoidance Act’. According to the regulations of the bill, from From now on, major tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands will not enjoy any tax exemptions and will pay taxes according to local tax rates..."
"Viewers friends Hello everyone, this is KTPC TV station. According to the latest news, the IRS is operating a bill called off-site tax avoidance. Once this bill is introduced, the tax rates of major companies will be readjusted..."
“Hello TV viewers, this is the CW TV station...”
Since the last time it was the first to break the news that David was not assassinated, the New York Observer has suddenly become an unreliable media. The credibility has been greatly increased.
And this time, this media broke the news first.
What is even more shocking is that after the New York Observer broke the news, major TV stations across the country also followed up, and the whole country was instantly in an uproar.
“My friend, I’m just wondering why there has been no news about Inspector General David recently. Is he busy with this bill?”
“According to media reports , once this bill is introduced, major companies will no longer enjoy tax exemptions, which will kill them. I think there is something good to watch!”
“David! The Inspector General is really ruthless. This bill has touched the interests of all capitalists at once, and they are definitely going to blow up!”
"..."
The United States is a capitalist country, and this bill can be said to have touched the interests of all capitalists. So after hearing this bill, all the people realized that there might be something good to watch next!
The White House.
In the President's Office, Paden was handling government affairs. At this time, Wilder suddenly opened the door and walked in, and said: "Mr. President, something big has happened."
"What's the big deal?"
For the White House chief executive to say the words 'something big happened', it was definitely not a small matter, so Paden's expression was a little solemn at this time.
“According to major media reports, the Internal Revenue Service is promoting a bill. This bill is tentatively called the ‘Remote Tax Avoidance Bill.’ According to the regulations of the bill, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands ...These tax havens will no longer enjoy any tax exemptions and preferences..."
"What are you talking about!"
After hearing this, Rao is the number one in the United States. The human Paiden was also shocked.
You know, the famous companies in the United States are basically registered in tax havens.
Once this so-called off-site tax avoidance bill is introduced, will it not be like a knife cutting into the arteries of these companies?
“Wait a minute...”
Paiden seemed to remember something and suddenly asked: “Is this news true, or is it fabricated by those guys to put the IRS on fire? Roasted?”
“Although it has not been confirmed yet... I think it is true.”
"How do you say that?"
"When I was handing over work with some congressmen these days, I received a little bit of news from some people, saying that David had talked to them, but what exactly they talked about, But all of them looked embarrassed and refused to say anything. Although I couldn't break the casserole and ask for the truth, I also saw that the discussion must be something that made them embarrassed. Combined with the current media reports on this bill, this is very consistent. ”
Hearing Wilder’s words, the wrinkles on Paiden’s brows deepened.
Yes, such a bill will definitely make it difficult for these congressmen.
Even if David had not used coercion and inducement, he believed that absolutely no congressman would take the risk to support such a bill.
"In addition to the congressmen, the three major groups have indeed been abnormal recently. They seem to be nervous and anxious about something. Combined with this bill, do you think it can be explained?"< br>
"I just said how could David remain so quiet despite being assassinated by three major groups? This is not like his character at all. Now I understand it!"
Paiden He smiled helplessly.
“Yeah, I have to admit, his move is really cruel. If he really succeeds, then the three major groups will bleed a lot.”
“Wyle Germany, how many congressmen do you think he has won over?”
"Although I don't know the specific number, judging from the anxious expressions of the three major groups, there are definitely many."
Hearing this, Paidon's expression dropped.
It is not a simple matter to promote a bill. At least it must be supported by 218 representatives of the House of Representatives and 51 senators of the Senate.
With David's methods, it's hard to say that this kid will definitely not be able to handle the House of Representatives and the Senate.
But what really worries Paiden is that if David really manages the House and Senate and submits the bill to the House of Representatives, will he sign it or not?
If you sign, it will offend all the capitalists in America.
But if you don’t sign, you will offend David again.
If this kid gives up his job in anger, then his idea of promoting other people-friendly bills to win people's support will come to nothing.
This is really a dilemma!
"Wilder, this bill will not only put the IRS on the fire, but it will also put our White House on the fire. What do you think?"
After thinking about it for a while, Paiden couldn't find a way to deal with it properly, so he could only ask his chief of staff.
"Since you asked, sir, let me tell you my opinion!"
"If this bill is really passed, the tax revenue it can bring every year, let alone It’s tens of billions, maybe even more than trillions.”
“And sir, you also know what our current financial situation is in the United States. With such an injection of tax funds, the financial situation will change instantly. It will be solved, it is a real solution, not the kind that quenches thirst with poison!”
“Let’s boldly imagine that with such a sum of money, let alone the childcare bill we planned to promote before, you can forget it! No matter what kind of bill you want to introduce, the finance can afford the money!”
"And by then, our current White House may be the richest in history. With this performance here, I dare say that the next election will be meaningless, because you 100% Baihui is re-elected!”
For Wilder to be able to hold the position of White House Chief of Staff, he is absolutely top-notch in both mind and vision.
He knows very well that this bill will indeed make all capitalists jump, but aside from these factors, if the bill is passed, the biggest beneficiary will actually be the White House.
Of course, the premise is that the White House can resist all pressure and sign the bill to pass.
At this time, Pat also changed from the previous state of frowning to deep thinking. If you look closely, you can find that his thoughtful face has flashes of emotion on his forehead.
Although he is indeed older, after his chief of staff's remarks, he also realized the benefits that this bill can bring.
Yes, over the past few years, the United States has basically run a fiscal deficit every year.
If this situation can be reversed during his term, then this political achievement will not only allow him to be re-elected reliably, but he may even be ranked among the presidents of the United States in subsequent history. Seats near the front.
Why did President Kennedy carry out various reforms and have the idea of nationalizing the Federal Reserve many years ago?
In fact, it is just to get such a merit.
But now he doesn't have to do anything, because David is already doing all the dirty work for him.
He only needs to sign at the last minute to make the bill come into effect. This is much less stressful than President Kennedy.
If President Kennedy knew about such a good thing, he would be eager to crawl out of the coffin.
However, Paden still seemed to have a headache when he thought about facing the pressure from the three major groups and all the capitalists in the United States.
"Well, let Obadiah and Vertonghen from the IRS come over now, I want to talk to him!"
After thinking for a while, Paden finally decided to talk to the IRS and make a decision later.
