Chapter 378 The Eve of the Voting
“Mr. Henrietta, I have helped you delay the legislative numbering issue for several days. This has obviously made the IRS very dissatisfied with me. Maybe David , is already secretly preparing to deal with me."
"If he stands up again at this time, who can guarantee what he will do to me? I am already a person who is about to retire. I don’t want to get involved in too many disputes..."
Nan Xi had a look of embarrassment on his face.
“Nan Xi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, I know you are retiring, but don’t forget that the midterm elections have begun. Now that David has reached an agreement with so many members, the arrangements you have made , can it really be achieved smoothly? ”
Upon hearing this, Nan Xi's face immediately darkened.
But before he could continue his thoughts, Joshua over there added: "As you just said, Josh and David colluded, and who got the legislative number? "
"It's him, Josh!"
"And why would he risk offending you and me to get this legislative number?"
"It must be obtained? David’s promise!”
“As the whip of the House of Representatives, what kind of promise do you think can impress him?”
“As far as I know, he is not an unambitious person. With the position of party whip and David's support, what do you think will happen to the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives left by you?"
After hearing this, Nan Xi's face turned completely gloomy.
Are you going to say that she never thought about why Joey helped code that bill?
This is obviously impossible!
It's just that she wanted to pretend to be confused first, and then slowly think of a way to solve the matter later.
But now, Henrietta and Joshua's words seemed to be reminding her, but how could she not hear the hidden meaning?
That is, if she does not side with the three major groups, then all the political arrangements arranged before retirement may not only be disrupted by David, but even the three major groups will also hinder her. son!
"Join us, Ms. Nan Xi, I can't guarantee anything else, but at least in this midterm election, we can guarantee our human and financial support to your 'disciples', even if Josh gets Dai Wei's full support, but with us here, your chances of winning will be much better."
Henrietta continues to strike while the iron is hot.
As for Nan Xi at this time, after careful consideration, he really didn't have too many choices.
If Josh really gets the support of David, and now David has won so many congressional seats.
When the mid-term elections reach a critical moment, these votes will definitely be used for her previous deployment!
And if she offends the three major groups at this juncture, all the political capital she has left behind may be wiped out in an instant.
But now if we try our best to help the three major groups, with the support of the three major groups, we may be able to make some changes.
After weighing the pros and cons, Nan Xi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Mr. Henrietta, then I will fully intervene in this bill, but you must also fulfill the promise you just made!"
"Of course it is. !”
Henrietta finally showed a smile, and then said: “Okay, that’s it for today’s meeting. You and I must win over the states at all costs before the voting begins. Congressmen, try to get more chances of winning!”
“I understand, Mr. Henrietta!”
Everyone agreed.
With the current Speaker of the House of Representatives helping to lobby, they won't be able to relax too much, but at least they will get twice the result with half the effort!
……
The day after returning to Washington after the meeting.
Nan Xi did not hesitate at all, and immediately summoned a large number of congressmen in Washington to talk in her capacity as speaker.
In this conversation, she changed from her usual softness and directly warned these congressmen in a tough tone, asking them to make the right choice regarding the off-site tax avoidance bill and not to be ' The traitors' use!
Due to her status as Speaker of the House of Representatives and her ruthless tactics, many congressmen who had already talked to David suddenly became hesitant.
Some even couldn't resist the pressure and made various guarantees on the spot, such as saying that they would definitely follow Nan Xi's footsteps.
A short time later, here at the IRS Office of Inspector General.
Elvis walked in and said with a serious face: "Something happened."
"What happened?"
David retracted his attention from the file and looked up at him.
"Nan Xi personally ended up, and now she is crazily intimidating and coercing those congressmen to make the so-called 'correct' decision!"
Hearing this, Dai Wei frowned slightly.
This Nan Xi has controlled Congress for so many years, and her behavior has always been domineering and ruthless. If she personally came to intimidate and coerce, although not all members would listen to her, they would be somewhat unable to withstand the pressure. , and thus will defect.
It seems that keeping Nan Xi here is a disaster, and we should have found a way to deal with her long ago!
But it's too late now, the bill is already imminent and has to be released!
“Forget it, don’t worry about him for the time being, just continue according to the original plan. In addition, tell the people in your department that they have to work more overtime these days. I want to know everyone on our side. Every move of the famous congressman!"
David said solemnly.
“Understood!”
……
over the next few days.
Relying on the operations of Church, Josh and others in the House of Representatives, the committee's dialectical and improvement work went extremely smoothly.
In the end, the chairman of the Legislative Committee personally stood up and announced in front of the media that the preliminary work for this bill has been completed, and the voting process will begin in three days.
Hearing the news, some people were excited and some were worried.
Of course, those who are excited are ordinary people in the United States and audiences around the world.
On the surface, this is just a bill, although some of it may cost the lives of capitalists.
But in fact, this is a battle between the IRS and American capitalists.
No matter which side loses, it may be the beginning of their respective destruction.
So these people and the melon-eating audience are naturally looking forward to seeing this good show.
As for those who are worried, it is the Freemasons, the Angsa Group, the Illuminati and the American capitalists.
Of course, that also includes the IRS and even David himself.
Although both parties have made various efforts during this period, no one can guarantee that they will win before the voting results come out.
The most important thing is that this bill is not like a black tax bill. The unlucky ones who passed it were those insignificant criminals.
If this bill is passed, all capitalists in the United States will be unlucky. Naturally, this group of capitalists who claim to be the 'masters' of the United States cannot lose. For the IRS, even if this bill fails to pass, it does not seem like there will be much loss.
But in fact, if this bill cannot be passed, it means that the group of capitalists headed by the three major groups will have the upper hand in Congress.
With the vengeful character of this group of people, they will definitely retaliate against the IRS.
If the three major groups that have the upper hand in Congress take advantage of the situation and propose to repeal the black tax bill, or reduce the power of the IRS, or disarm it, it will naturally be difficult for the IRS to resist. of.
For the IRS, this is a gamble they cannot afford to lose either!
Under the tense mood of all parties, two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Tomorrow is the time for Congress to vote on the off-site tax avoidance bill, and everyone’s breathing is beginning to quicken.
This side of Nanxi’s residence.
She herself and several members of the three major groups were sitting on the sofa. Although no one spoke, if you look closely at their expressions, you could see that they all looked uneasy.
The only thing that can make Nan Xi, an old political fox who has dominated American politics for decades, so uneasy is this bill that is related to wealth and life.
Not far away from them, the staff was looking through books of information, seeming to be counting some data.
About ten minutes later, a man with glasses nodded, walked to the two of them and said, "Speaker Nan Xi, according to the number of votes counted now, our number of votes is 235!"
Hear With this number, Nan Xi and others' tense expressions suddenly relaxed.
A few days ago on Senado Island, the number of votes counted by the Freemasons was 221. Fortunately, after these few days of hard work, the number of votes counted was 221.
In addition, she, the speaker, stepped down personally; after some coercion and inducement, she received another 14 votes, which is a pretty good result.
“Give me the numbers of those congressmen who still have the intention to sway!”
Nan Xi was still a little worried. After all, voting would begin tomorrow. To be more secure, she decided to make one last effort.
Soon, the staff got the list into Nan Xi’s hands, and she began to dial the numbers one by one and did the final ‘ideological work’!
This is the State Administration of Taxation.
At this time, David was also looking at a list carefully.
But it can be seen that his mental state is a little bad, and the areas around his other two eyes are a little dark. It is obvious that he has not slept well in the past few days.
Seven or eight minutes later, David put down the list and nodded: "So, now our total number of votes is 239?"
"Yes, Inspector General, this is a big deal for us. Advantage, of course, all this is due to your sleepless efforts these days, otherwise, we would not have been able to achieve such an advantage!"
Munson is not a compliment.
In the past few days, he personally prepared a list of swing congressmen for David, and then personally watched David draw each swing congressman into their camp.
All this is not to say a huge effort, but at least it consumes a lot of energy, so it is deserved to achieve this result!
"What about them, what's the number of votes counted now?"
David looked across at Jerry, who was also mentally depressed.
“According to the information from the CIA, the number of votes is probably between 230-239!”
Jerry replied.
“230-239……”
There was a heaviness on David's face.
These three major groups plus Nan Xi, the old fox combination, seem to be really not vegetarians. Under such tough pressure from him, they were able to get so many votes.
Although this is only the number of votes counted on the surface, there will definitely not be so many after the voting.
But no one can guarantee who will get more than 218 votes by then.
It seems that we can only know the outcome when the congressional voting officially begins tomorrow!
"Cluck..."
While David was still deep in thought, there was a knock on the door, and he immediately shouted 'come in'.
"Inspector General David, the director and others are already in the conference room, let you come over!"
"I'll go over right now!"
......
When arriving at the conference room.
At this time, not only Obadiah Donald is already in place, but other senior officials are also gathered here.
After seeing David take his seat, Obadiah didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Okay David, the voting on this bill in the House of Representatives will begin tomorrow, give us a report first Let’s talk about the specific situation!”
Obadiah and the others knew very well that David was busy with this matter without sleep or food during this period, so although he was very concerned and nervous about the progress of this matter. , but in order not to disturb David’s work, he asked as few questions as possible.
But the voting session is coming tomorrow, and they can’t hold back anymore. They must get a rough idea first.
David nodded and said: "These days, through the efforts of me and my department, up to now, we have a total of 239 votes officially counted!"
"239, too many Okay!”
“As long as there are 218 votes, this bill can pass the House of Representatives. Now that we have 239 votes, it should be safe!”
“Even if it’s 239 votes! Zhang’s official vote count, but I really don’t believe that more than 21 members will defect when it comes to voting!”
Many senior officials were instantly excited when they heard this vote count! got up.
Because in their opinion, no matter what the number of votes is, it is definitely considered very stable. .
However, while they were still in a state of excitement, David's next words made them feel like a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads.
“Although we have a lot of votes now, don’t be too happy. According to CIA intelligence data, the three major groups have also counted a lot of votes, ranging from 230-239. Here!”
Hearing this, the senior executives who were happy just now couldn’t laugh out loud.
"This...how come they have so many votes?"
"As a guarantee, they have 230 votes, but this is also very dangerous for us."
"We have 239 votes, and they also have 230 votes. The House of Representatives has a total of 435 votes, which means 34 of them don’t know whether they are humans or ghosts, which is really dangerous..."
Although on the surface, they seem to have some advantage in votes, this advantage cannot form an absolutely overwhelming advantage.
Even if the vote is really lost, it will definitely not be a big surprise.
