Chapter 401: The Angsa people’s petition for peace
“Mr. President, why don’t you just tell me directly, under what conditions will you help us reject this bill?”
Seeing it Paiden did not agree to such conditions, and Augustine's tone became a little impatient.
Paiden replied calmly: "As I said, as long as you can help me get rid of David and stop him from manipulating the media to attack me, then this matter will naturally be easy to solve. If you can't get him If so, then I have no choice..."
Augustine was choked by these words. If they could get rid of David, there would be no need to spend so much money on the House of Representatives, the Senate, and even the president. effort?
This seems to be in an infinite loop again!
"Sir..."
"..."
In order to make Paiden change his mind, in the following time, the three of them took turns lobbying.
But no matter how much they lobbied, even if they exerted a lot of pressure, Paden remained unmoved, acting as if he had no choice. In his last words, he even tactfully addressed the three of them. An eviction order was issued.
The three of them had no choice but to stand up helplessly and then left the White House.
......
In the afternoon, when David was in the office dealing with follow-up matters, Keppel knocked on the door and came in, and said: "Inspector General, there is a man named Lei Zhe outside. The gentleman wants to see you."
"Lei Zhe..."
David was a little surprised, but soon seemed to think of something, and then replied: "Then let him come over. .”
"Okay."
Not long after, Lei Zhe was brought in. After seeing David, he showed a friendly smile and said as if he was meeting a good friend: "Inspector General David , Long time no see, how are you doing lately?”
“Everything is fine, Mr. Lei Zhe, I wonder what brought you to our IRS?”
After hearing this, Lei Zhe also cursed secretly in his heart, "You bastard, can you still not understand why I came here?"
Isn’t this asking questions knowingly?
Although he was cursing in his heart, he still pretended to be indifferent and replied: "Inspector General David, as your former friend, and we are all in Washington, I came to have a chat with you, my old friend. You won't welcome it, right?"
"Welcome, of course!"
"That's good..."
In the following time, Lei Zhe began He chatted with David about his previous cooperation, such as supporting the W bill, helping him to gain power, and dealing with the Freemasons. He obviously looked like he wanted to bring back the previous relationship.
The reason why Lei Zhe did this was because he couldn't help it.
The off-site tax avoidance bill has now passed the House and Senate, and they also went to the White House not long ago. Paden can no longer resist the pressure and is on the verge of getting the bill signed.
Once this bill is signed into law, it will be a serious blow to the Masonic group, but this group of people also controls a hen that can lay golden eggs - the Federal Reserve .
But their Angsa Group does not have a ‘blood-enhancing capsule’ like the Federal Reserve.
So if this bill comes into effect and their strength is weakened, who can guarantee that the Masonic group, which now seems to be forming an alliance with the same front, will not take the opportunity to continue to corrode their influence?
After all, before David was born, the relationship between the Freemasons and the Angsa Group was not harmonious, and there was only one fuse left before a full-scale war.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This sentence is always true in this real world!
Coming to make peace with David is a very embarrassing thing for the Angsa Group, but as long as the current situation can be saved, it is absolutely worth it!
“Well, I also miss the time when we worked together. With your help at that time, everything I did was much easier...”
David also expressed his nostalgia. The way it was before.
“Then again, Inspector General David, we did have some minor differences before, but this difference can be resolved, and we may be able to become friends again in the days to come. , what do you think?”
"Mr. Lei Zhe, you might as well speak more clearly."
"Do you know that in the United States, when it comes to tax avoidance, where is the most avoided place?"
"Where is it? ?"
"Fed!"
"Fed?"
"Yes, the Federal Reserve was founded in 1913. Since its establishment, they have taken over our American currency. Today, more than 100 years later, they have become a financial monster that affects the world. But what is interesting is that because of this institution, Its financial status has caused it to become an emperor-like existence in our United States. Let alone ordinary law enforcement agencies, as powerful as your IRS, no one has dared to touch this agency for so many years, right? ”
David didn't mean to refute what he said.
Yes, since the establishment of the Federal Reserve, it has never paid even a dime of tax to the IRS. This is something that everyone at the IRS knows very well.
Of course, it’s not like the IRS has never had an idea of the Federal Reserve in these many years.
According to the historical files of their IRS, in the 1960s, a director of their IRS had an idea for this agency.
The director later even told the idea to then-President Kennedy, who greatly agreed with the plan after hearing it.
What happened next is well known.
After receiving the support of the IRS, President Kennedy immediately launched a plan to nationalize the Federal Reserve.
But what he didn't expect was that the Freemason's solution would be so crude, which directly gave him a 'brain blow'.
After seeing President Kennedy meet this end, their director at the time naturally did not dare to have such an idea again.
So in the years that followed, although the Fed's behavior of not paying taxes disgusted countless people at the IRS, the IRS could only hold its nose and acquiesce.
It wasn’t until the birth of the powerful and capable David that the IRS began to think of completing the plan again!
"Mr. Lei Zhe, as far as I know, you are now allies with the Freemasons. If you openly talk about their counterfeiting of the Federal Reserve here, aren't you afraid that their relationship will be affected if they find out?"< br>
David looked at each other meaningfully.
“Haha.”
Lei Zhe smiled slightly disdainfully and said, "There is actually no relationship between us."
Although Angsa Group and Freemasonry are now allies, that is just a forced relationship. We had no choice but to stand together because of this bill. And when this bill is resolved, it is estimated that both parties will not even cover up, and will directly return to the previous tit-for-tat state!
Of course David also knew very well that the two major groups were forced to stand together just to deal with him, so he did not solve the problem again. He changed the subject and said: "Okay, since you have talked about it Now that we’re at the Federal Reserve, what else do you want to say?”
“If I’m not wrong, you will definitely attack the Federal Reserve next, right?”
"Mr. Lei Zhe, the tax issue of the Federal Reserve is our Internal Revenue Service's business. It seems to be none of your business."
"Yes, the tax issue is indeed none of our business, but the Federal Reserve, as our America’s financial emperor, it’s not easy for you to engage in them. What I want to say is, if you are willing, we are willing to help you!”
“What are the conditions?”
< br>"Hey..."
Lei Zhe showed a sly smile and replied: "The remote tax avoidance bill is too harmful to our group. We hope you can show your noble hand and give up this bill."
David was not surprised when he heard this, and replied with a disdainful expression: "Mr. Lei Zhe, your group is really good at calculating."
"What do you mean?"
"The Federal Reserve is the lifeblood of Freemasonry. If we really succeed, it will be equivalent to helping you weaken Freemasonry. In addition, you want me to give up this bill, and you will take all the benefits."
"This..."
Lei Zhe was choked, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with David's words.
First of all, if the foreign tax avoidance bill is cancelled, it will naturally avoid heavy losses for their Angsa Group.
In addition, if the Federal Reserve is hit again, the biggest beneficiary is not just the IRS. As a direct competitor, the Onsa Group will also benefit a lot.
"Ahem..."
Lei Zhe showed an awkward smile and said: "You can't say that, the foreign tax avoidance bill seems to bring a lot of benefits to your IRS. Taxes, but compared with the Federal Reserve, this tax is actually only a drop in the bucket. With our help, it will be smoother for you to move the Federal Reserve, which is not a loss."
"I will handle the Federal Reserve matters. Yes, it’s not your turn to point fingers. As for the remote tax avoidance bill, there’s no need to talk about it. This bill must be enacted and come into effect!”
He had put so much effort into this bill, and now it was almost finished. How could David give up?
“Okay Inspector General David, since you are unwilling to give up this bill, then we can settle for the next best thing. I hope that some changes will be made in the bill to allow companies under our group to enjoy immunity. Is this okay?”
“Sorry, this bill has gone through all the improvements, proposals, and covered regulations. There are definitely no changes at this time.”
“Why? There will be no way to change it. The bill has not yet been enacted. With your influence, if you want to make some changes, does anyone dare not agree? "
Lei Zhe sounded a little anxious. He was joking. Now there are two members of the Senate. Most of the members of the House of Representatives and even the president wanted to see David's face.
It is just a bill, let alone amending some of the regulations. Even if it is directly sent back to the House of Representatives for improvement, how many people would dare to oppose it?
“The regulations of this bill have been finalized, and making any new changes is a direct denial of the bill, and it is not in line with the process, so I can only say I’m sorry.”
With David’s current control over both chambers, he certainly has the ability to make some changes to this bill.
However, if the regulations are amended to allow companies under the Angsa Group to enjoy immunity, what will others think?
Other people will think that the IRS is doing something special, or that it has received some benefits from the Angsa Group to allow its companies to enjoy immunity.
In addition, he has not forgotten the previous assassination. The Angsa Group is also one of the participants. How can he not avenge such a life-and-death hatred?
As for the matter of the Federal Reserve, although it will be easier with the help of the Angsa Group, with David's current reputation in the United States and his control over Congress, it is not necessary to need the Angsa Group.
"David, this is our bottom line, aren't you even willing to agree to this?"
Lei Zhe was really anxious, and he called him Inspector General without being polite. , and called David by his name directly.
“I think there is no need to continue talking about this matter.”
"Okay, okay, okay! David, I hope you won't regret it!"
After saying three good words in a row, Lei Zhe, filled with anger, stood up, slammed the door and left.
......
In the remaining two days, the issue of the foreign tax avoidance bill is still the focus of the entire United States.
In view of the fact that the White House sent the bill back to the Senate and a scandal broke out, many people naturally vented their grievances on Paden and continued to curse on major social software.
Finally, after the third day, the White House seemed unable to withstand the pressure and announced that it would hold a press conference to give an update on the bill.
At ten o'clock in the morning, David Obadiah Vertonghen and other senior officials of the Internal Revenue Service collectively walked into the conference room and focused their eyes on the big screen.
At this time, the big screen was showing the White House press conference hall, and a large number of media had gathered in the hall at this time.
A few minutes later, the White House press secretary walked out of the aisle, came under the spotlight, and said: "Hello everyone, the matter of the foreign tax avoidance bill has become the focus of the country these days. Today, I will make the latest statement on this bill on behalf of the White House!”
“First of all, the reason why the bill was sent back to the Senate by the President is because it is of great importance and the President also voted for it! I was worried about some of the regulations, so I called back to the Senate and asked the Senate to make a report first to explain it. It was not a direct refusal to sign as the outside world said!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar on the scene.
"It turns out that the president didn't want to refuse to sign, but just wanted to know more about the bill?"
"If that's the case, that would be great, as long as the president is willing to understand it Sign it, then we still support him!”
“Then what are you waiting for? Get the bill back from the Senate and sign it!”
“…”
Since the president sent the bill back to the Senate, everyone subconsciously believed that this was a direct refusal to sign.
And they really ignored one issue, that is, neither the White House nor Paden himself directly publicly stated that they would refuse to sign.
Now that the spokesperson of the White House said this, things turned out to be turning around, which naturally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
