American tax officials

"Alright, in that case, I'll join!"

"I'm joining too!"

"I'm in!"

"I'm sorry, Inspector General David, but I still don't feel I'm up to the task..."

"Me too……"

"..."

In the following period, most of these financial elites expressed their willingness to join the team, while only two or three remained hesitant and chose to withdraw.

David didn't make things difficult for those who didn't want to join, and expressed his respect for their choice.

And so, a preliminary team was formed to discuss the nationalization of the Federal Reserve!

And the various tasks began the following day!

……

The third day has arrived.

The Thompson father and daughter arrived at David's office, and the former spoke first: "Inspector General David, I heard you've established a task force regarding the nationalization of the Federal Reserve?"

These days, IRS personnel have been lobbying in countries around the world, and there are also a lot of rumors circulating domestically. He has seen and heard all of this.

"That's right."

"But Inspector General David, what about the matter we discussed before, the nationalization of the Federal Reserve during my term...?"

Nationalizing the Federal Reserve was something even Kennedy hadn't accomplished, and Thompson was naturally worried that such a huge achievement would fall on Kaczyla's shoulders.

"The Federal Reserve involves a wide range of issues, and it cannot be nationalized immediately just because you want to. I am only doing preliminary work. It will probably take at least a year and a half to actually draft and submit it to Congress."

David wasn't just giving Thompson the runaround, because after the Federal Reserve nationalization team was established, according to the schedule they provided, it would indeed take at least a year and a half to implement all aspects of the work.

"That's good!"

Upon hearing this, Thompson and his daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ivanka quickly realized something and asked, "By the way, Inspector General David, I've heard that the White House has been quite active lately. Next year is an election year; will our agreement change?"

The father and daughter came here today mainly for two things.

The first thing is the timing of the Federal Reserve's nationalization.

The second thing is about next year's general election.

David had made an agreement with them beforehand, saying that he would fully support them to rise to power in 24 years.

However, due to the major changes in the White House, Peddon stepped down and Kaczyk unexpectedly came to power. Having enjoyed the presidency, how could Kaczyk be willing to give it up so easily?

Through the recent actions of the White House, the father and daughter have realized that, due to David's actions, the two sides cannot directly engage in a major battle, but the covert struggle will certainly be significant.

Of course, the most crucial question is: who will David ultimately support?

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will support you!"

"That would be wonderful!"

After receiving this affirmative answer, the father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.

……

In the days that followed, the work on nationalizing the Federal Reserve proceeded smoothly, and David entered his longest hibernation period since his rise to power.

This has made the vast American population somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Since David's rise to prominence, he has consistently produced a major news story every ten days or so, making headlines.

Examples include infiltrating a place with armed forces, apprehending a major drug lord, or carrying out a major purge of tax evaders in a certain state.

Since the midterm elections, there have been no major developments for more than half a year, which has naturally made most people feel uncomfortable.

And so, the peaceful days continued until January 1, 2024.

On this day, a heated argument broke out in a council chamber of the Capitol Hill Hotel.

"President Kathleen's achievements during her six months in office are undeniable, therefore I support her continued tenure in the White House!"

"That's right. According to preliminary opinion polls, President Kaczyk's approval rating is as high as 56%, which is what the people want, so I support President Kaczyk!"

"During President Kathleen's tenure, she has helped maintain America's prestige in Europe and has also successfully mitigated the negative effects of the turmoil within the three major blocs. She deserves to continue in power!"

"..."

"Heh, it's just a few beneficial bills they've introduced; anyone who didn't know better would think they'd taken over the Federal Reserve!"

In the hall were members of Congress from both houses, officials from various departments, members of the Illuminati from the Onsa Group, and local powerful families from various states.

In addition, Sean, Thompson, Kachira, and others from David's camp were all here.

And the person who finally said those words was none other than Masco, a loyal supporter of Thompson!

"Masco, what do you mean by that!"

Upon hearing this sarcastic remark, those who had supported Kachira were furious. As for Kachira herself, although she did not express her opinion, a hint of anger appeared on her face.

As the election draws near, the two main candidates, Kaczynski and Thompson, have been engaged in a covert struggle.

The reason they met here today was actually to have a debate and see how much support they received from within the group.

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just the literal meaning!"

"you……"

"alright!"

Kachira's chief of staff, Windsor, stopped their supporters and turned to the silent Sean, asking, "Mr. Sean, what is your family's view on this year's election?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Sean.

It's important to know that within the entire group, Sean is not only the executive vice president, but also has the closest relationship with David.

Therefore, his statement is naturally of great significance.

Sean pondered for a moment before replying, "President Kacilla's achievements over this period have indeed been remarkable. However, it seems that Inspector General David had an agreement with Mr. Thompson beforehand, so I cannot comment on this election."

Kachira frowned.

In order to gain Sean's support, she has given the Kennedy family a lot of benefits and even personally promoted several of the Kennedy family's rising political stars.

However, at such a crucial juncture, Sean is playing coy, which is not very fair!

"Betsy, Gotha, Charlie... what are your thoughts on this election?"

Windsor then inquired with the local powerful families in each state.

These families control a significant number of seats in Congress, and securing their support would greatly increase the chances of winning this election.

"President Kaczyla's achievements during her time in office are indeed remarkable, so our family supports President Kaczyla."

"I also support President Kaczyk."

"support."

"..."

Kaczynski is still the current president and holds considerable power. The benefits she can offer to the group members are naturally incomparable to those of the ousted President Thompson.

So when they heard Windsor hinting at taking sides, these local powerful families stepped forward to state their positions.

Seeing the growing popularity of Kaczyla, Thompson's side became increasingly anxious. Ivanka even stepped forward and shouted, "I would like to ask everyone to remember one thing before supporting President Kaczyla: Inspector General David has clearly stated that he will support my father in this year's election. Are you trying to go against Inspector General David?"

Upon hearing this, the room fell completely silent.

Just kidding, David is the head of their group. With such a big label of "singing a different tune" stuck on him, who would dare to act recklessly?

"That's right, Inspector General David previously expressed his support for you, but that's all ancient history. He might have already changed his mind, otherwise, with the election approaching, why hasn't he made any statement yet!"

"Chief of Staff Windsor is right. Given President Kaczynski's performance over this period, Inspector General David has definitely changed his mind!"

"support."

"..."

After Windsor said this, his supporters immediately perked up again.

This time, it was Thompson's turn to go silent.

That's right. More than six months after David told him that he would keep his promise, he never made any further statements about it.

What's even more serious is that he has been going to David several times during this period, hoping that he will make a public statement on the matter so that Kachira and the others will behave themselves.

But for some reason, David hasn't made any further statements, which inevitably makes him uneasy.

Otherwise, why would the two sides even need to engage in this debate?

While tensions were running high between the two sides, David was in a service hall at the IRS, talking with Yulman and others.

"The drafting of the bill is one-third complete. If all goes well, it will be finished in the second half of the year. Here is the preliminary draft. Please take a look."

David took the symbolic document, looked at it for a few minutes, and then replied, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you all from now on!"

Just then, Nissen walked in and said to David, "Something's up."

"Let's talk outside."

The two returned to the tax inspection department's office, and after sitting down, David asked, "What's going on?"

"Kakira and Thompson held a debate at the Capitol Hill Hotel, inviting Sean, Masco, local powerful families from various states, and... According to reports from the scene, the two sides argued fiercely and almost came to blows!"

David frowned upon hearing this.

He knew perfectly well what the two sides were arguing about; it was nothing more than this year's election.

He had previously promised to support Thompson's rise to power, but later considered that if he made a direct statement, Kaczyla's side would give up and abandon the project, which would affect the work of the Federal Reserve Nationalization Act.

Therefore, he did not comment on the matter again in the following period.

So, the reason why the two of them are arguing like this ultimately lies with him.

"With the election approaching, Thompson and Kaczynski's groups have gone beyond just arguing; they've even started using their respective media outlets to smear each other. I think you need to step up and make a statement on this, otherwise, it will cause a division within our organization!"

David nodded, clearly agreeing with Nissen's words.

Anyway, the foundation for the Federal Reserve nationalization bill has already been laid, so if Kachira insists on going all out and giving up, it won't have much of an impact.

It's definitely time to make a statement on this matter!

"Get ready, I'm going to the Capitol Hill Hotel."

……

At the Capitol Hill Hotel, the two camps of Thompson and Kachira were still arguing when a special agent walked in, whispered a few words in Kachira's ear, and her expression changed instantly.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down. Inspector David is here!"

Upon hearing Windsor's loud reminder, the people who had been arguing heatedly were startled and then fell silent.

A few minutes later, the doors to the council hall were pushed open, and David walked in. He glanced around the room and finally fixed his gaze on the members of the Onsa Group and the Illuminati who had arrived.

Although these two groups managed to pull back from the brink and preserve their strength, they still couldn't help but shudder at the sight of David's cold gaze.

"Friends of the Ansar Group and the Illuminati, this seems to be an internal matter for us, and has nothing to do with you, right?"

The Ansar Group and the Illuminati have reached an agreement with David, but now they want to interfere in the election, even though both candidates are his people. This is intolerable.

Upon hearing this, the Illuminati members of the Ansar Group who had been invited felt their hair stand on end.

Their participation in this election is, of course, aimed at rebuilding their influence in the political arena.

Their original plan was that since Kachira and Thompson, whom they supported, were both members of David's camp and not people from their own camp, David probably wouldn't pursue the matter too much.

But now it seems their plan backfired.

"Please leave, we have something to discuss!"

Hearing that David didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter further, the members of the Ansar Group and the Illuminati finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to leave.

"I don't care who invited the Ansar Group and the Illuminati, but I must warn you that they were once our enemies, so you should be more careful when dealing with such people."

"Inspector General David, I admit I acted improperly in this matter, and I apologize for it."

"Me too, I apologize for that..."

Thompson and Kacilla both stepped forward to apologize.

In fact, Thompson understood that getting involved with the Onsa Group might displease David.

But there was no other way, mainly because Kachira had already colluded with the Illuminati, so in order to maintain balance, he had no choice but to rely on the influence of the Onsa Group.

But in hindsight, both of them made a terrible move. (End of Chapter)
