American tax officials

"This is the eighth interest rate hike; it's really putting pressure on countries around the world!"

"To be honest, the Fed's method of raising interest rates is really incredibly profitable, and they don't have to pay a single penny in taxes. It's truly enviable."

"On the surface, this interest rate hike seems to benefit the American treasury, but in reality, those damned Freemasons are the ones who are truly making a killing!"

At the Sun Om Resort Hotel, Bucky, Nison, and Simmons chatted while soaking in the hot spring pool.

David, on the other hand, rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, Munson suddenly approached them and reported, "Inspector General, we have news from the CIA. According to intelligence reports, the three major corporations are no longer planning to dwell on the bill and are instead focusing on the midterm elections!"

"Midterm elections!"

David's expression immediately turned serious.

With the three major groups focusing on the midterm elections, what else can they be doing besides trying to regain control of Congress?

However, it must be said that if he were one of the three major corporations, he would probably do the same.

As the saying goes, whoever wins Congress wins the world!

As long as this group regains control of Congress, even if the tax avoidance bill has been successfully passed, they can still work to repeal it!

"Yes, according to information from the CIA, this group is going all out to get their people into power. Basically, every voter who supports them will receive shopping cards, coupons, and cash, which adds up to about $1500!"

David frowned slightly upon hearing this.

一个人1500美金的福利，10个人就是1万5，100个人就是15万……

If there are 100 million people, that would be 15 billion.

Take California as an example. With a population of nearly 4000 million, that would be at least 600 billion US dollars.

But this is only one state.

There are 50 states in the United States. If each state lobbied voters like this, how much money would be spent?

Even the National Tax Service, which controls the nation's tax revenue, would probably find it difficult to come up with such a large sum of money.

It's no wonder the Freemasons announced an interest rate hike; if they didn't raise interest rates to recoup this money, they'd probably have to dig out their life savings.

"It seems we won't be able to take this vacation..."

David sighed helplessly.

Obadiah had just given him a day off yesterday so he could rest, but he didn't expect the three major groups to make moves so quickly. The Freemasons even announced interest rate hikes and were raising funds to try and win the midterm elections. Naturally, he couldn't just sit idly by.

Otherwise, if this group wins the midterm elections and regains control of Congress, the situation of their IRS will be precarious again.

Nixon, Bucky, and Simmons also seemed somewhat frustrated.

Since being promoted to regional supervisor, they have been extremely busy, even though they no longer follow David around as before.

Now that the bill has finally been passed, everyone thought they could relax for a few days, but the three major groups have already started talking about the midterm elections, so they naturally can't let their guard down.

"Contact Thompson, Sean, and... have them all come here tomorrow."

"clear!"

Munsen immediately turned and left.

……

The next day at noon, in a private room at the resort.

Thompson and his daughter Ivanka walked in first, smiling at David and saying, "Inspector General David, I originally thought you would prepare a celebration banquet after the bill passed, but I didn't expect you to be so low-key..."

"I've been a bit tired lately, and all I want to do right now is relax."

"Indeed, you've been working hard on this bill lately, you deserve a good rest..."

As they were talking, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and this time, representatives from the Texas family, including Bethmay, Godard, and Charlie, entered.

In the following hours, local powerful families from other states who had been summoned also arrived at the scene.

About ten minutes later, Sean arrived in a hurry, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Inspector David, gentlemen, I have some family matters to attend to, which has kept you all waiting."

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point!"

David organized his thoughts and said, "You all know about the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike. According to intelligence, the Freemasons are now using these funds to lobby voters in various states in an attempt to win the midterm elections."

"And what they want to do after winning the midterm elections, I think everyone here is smart enough to guess!"

"According to information from the CIA, while most voters are very supportive of our IRS, they wouldn't refuse this kind of free money."

"In other words, with these voters backing them, many members of parliament may find their situation somewhat precarious. I need you to ensure that your families' seats in Congress do not change significantly, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Bessmay was the first to reply: "Don't worry, Inspector David, Texas is our territory, and we will definitely defend this base."

"That's right. We can't guarantee anything in other states, but in Texas, nobody can interfere!"

"..."

After the three major families representing Texas made their promises, representatives from other states also expressed their willingness to do their best to retain voters.

David then made arrangements for some follow-up matters, and the meeting did not end until nearly two hours later.

However, in the end, Elvis, Sean, and Ivanka and his daughter from the CIA were still in no hurry to leave, as if they still had something to say.

"Inspector General David, the midterm elections are a big deal, but there's something else I think we need to address as well."

Elvis was the first to speak.

"What is it?"

"The last time they targeted those senators' families, it was the National Security Agency that did it. And in this midterm election, that agency will definitely play a crucial role for all three major groups. So my idea is to take care of that agency first; that would be more advantageous for us!"

"You have a point..."

David rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "Their director, Edgar, is a member of the Illuminati. Who else could it be?"

"And there's Deputy Director Grantham, Chief of Intelligence Abner..."

Elvis named five or six high-ranking National Security officials in one go.

"Alright, give me a copy of these people's personal information and whereabouts later, and I'll take care of it."

"No problem, I'll go back and get busy then!"

Elvis knew that the remaining two people probably still had something to say to David, so he didn't linger any longer and left the private room.

Sean and Thompson, who were left, exchanged glances. Then Sean looked at David and said, "Inspector General David, the midterm elections are certainly the most important thing right now, but if we can 'cut off' the Federal Reserve's funding, then they will naturally collapse on their own!"

The Kennedy family and the Freemasons have a blood feud, and the tax avoidance bill was a severe revenge on the Freemasons. However, if the Federal Reserve, which these people regard as their lifeblood, could be stripped of its power, it would certainly be incredibly satisfying for them.

"That makes sense, but the off-site tax avoidance bill has just been passed, and our IRS has a lot of things to deal with. We probably can't spare the time to do this right now. Moreover, the Federal Reserve is involved in a wide range of matters, and we must be fully prepared before we can take action. Otherwise, our entire country's financial system will be in big trouble, and we can't take the blame for that."

To reiterate, the Federal Reserve controls the global economic lifeline, yet it is quite volatile.

If he acts rashly, given the Freemasons' cunning and manipulative nature, they could easily put pressure on him and the IRS by manipulating the Federal Reserve.

Before you start working on it, you must make thorough preparations!

"Well... okay..."

Although Kennedy wanted to crush the Freemasons immediately, he could only suppress his impulse after hearing what David said.

David looked at Ivanka and his daughter and asked, "Mr. Thompson, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"hey-hey……"

Thompson chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Actually, I'd also like to hear about the Federal Reserve, but you've already answered Mr. Thompson, so I don't have anything else to ask."

In fact, he was eager to wait until he took office before launching the Federal Reserve reform, so that he could get credit for it. David's answer, of course, satisfied him.

"Alright, let's do it this way!"

……

In the following days, the local power families in each state, following David's instructions, tried their best to control the situation in the midterm elections in each state.

As for David himself, he began collecting dirt on high-ranking National Security Bureau officials, and then gradually released the information through the media channels under his control.

Office of the Tax Inspector General, State Taxation Administration.

"Alright, Elvis, I'll consider this Makunta you mentioned."

"Inspector General David, Ma Kunta is absolutely capable, and he has assured me that if he becomes the Director of the National Security Bureau, he will be completely devoted to us. There is no doubt about that..."

"Yes, I said I'd consider him. Can you give me some time, Elvis?"

"Well... alright, Chief Inspector David, just let me know if you have any ideas."

"Okay, that's settled then!"

Since he released damaging information about high-ranking NSA officials, Elvis has contacted him multiple times and recommended a friend of his, hoping that he could help this friend rise to power.

However, the National Security Bureau is, after all, a law enforcement agency with real power, so David naturally intends to control it indirectly. However, he still needs to carefully consider the candidates.

Elvis is now the CIA's Director of Intelligence, and David plans to gradually promote him to the position of Director. If he were to indirectly control the National Security Agency at that point, the power would be too concentrated, which would not be in his best interest.

Marem, who was eating a pizza, handed David a slice and said, "Looks like Elvis is also keen to infiltrate the NSA!"

"Nonsense, he's already the CIA's intelligence chief. If his people also take control of the National Security Agency, then he'll be incredibly powerful!"

"That's right, Elvis is trustworthy, but sometimes you need to be careful when choosing people, especially in intelligence agencies like this. We have to be even more cautious!"

Simmons and Bucky, who were sitting nearby, also spoke up one after another.

However, after they finished speaking, their gazes turned to David, wanting to see what David would say.

However, before David could say anything, his phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Sean calling, David hesitated for a moment before answering.

"I apologize for calling so suddenly, Inspector General David. I hope I didn't disturb your work?"

"No, Mr. Sean, what is it?"

"I saw the news. You released dirty laundry on those high-ranking officials in the National Security Bureau. I guess their careers are almost over, right?"

David had already guessed it, and now that he heard it, it was exactly as he expected!

The National Security Agency is a powerful department, coveted not only by Elvis but also by the Kennedy family.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, David replied, "There's still some work to be done. Mr. Sean, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"hey-hey."

Sean chuckled and said, "It's like this, if these people fall, I think we'd better put our own people in charge. So, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Not yet.

Upon hearing this, Sean was overjoyed and continued, "Inspector General David, the position of Director of the National Security Bureau is no ordinary one. It must be held by a trustworthy person. If you don't have a suitable candidate, I do have one here who is absolutely trustworthy. Once he takes office, he will definitely be able to quickly integrate this department and help us deal with the three major groups!"

Hearing this, David showed some interest and asked, "Who is this person you've chosen?"

"Tomlinson Sylvester!"

"Tomlinson Sylvester?"

Upon hearing the name, David read it aloud while giving Nissen a wink.

Nissen immediately opened the ancient song, entered the name, and personal information about Tomlinson Sylvester popped up.

Nissen then held the phone up in front of David's eyes.

David soon found out who this person was.

He was none other than the CIA's Director of Intelligence during the time when John Bush was in power!

However, this changed later with the downfall of Xiao Bu Shi.

He was also ousted by the new leaders.

"Yes, he's a good friend of mine. He used to work for the CIA and is familiar with its operating system and rules. He'd be absolutely capable of handling things at the National Security Bureau. Most importantly, he's someone we can trust. Once we help him get to his position, he'll be completely loyal to us. I think he's a very suitable candidate, and we can use him!"

Sean continued his recommendations over the phone. (End of Chapter)
