Chapter 451 bill submitted to Congress
After securing deals with these three major social media companies, and with their assistance, the online panic about the nationalization of the Federal Reserve gradually subsided in the following days.
Following David's instructions, Sean Yvan Kamazco began acquiring these three companies step by step.
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was February 26th.
On this day, David hosted a dinner at the Thompson Hotel, inviting members of both houses of Congress, as well as members of the Thompson and Sean families.
His sole purpose in hosting this dinner was to ensure that everything was ready for the Federal Reserve nationalization bill, which would be formally submitted to Congress tomorrow, and to encourage these individuals to make their own preparations.
The next morning, David and other senior officials from the IRS arrived at the conference room early and focused their attention on the large screen.
Today, the House of Representatives is holding its regular meeting, so as you can see on the big screen, a large number of members are entering the Capitol Hill.
Just then, the camera suddenly switched to a blonde woman.
"Hello everyone, this is reporter Coppola. The House of Representatives will hold its regular meeting today, and the much-discussed issue of nationalizing the Federal Reserve will not only be the focus of today's discussion, but it is said that some members have already drafted a bill, which will be submitted to the relevant committee for review today. Let's wait and see..."
With live media coverage, all members of the House of Representatives had entered the chamber, and the meeting officially commenced.
With many people across the country watching, the time quickly approached 12 o'clock.
At this point, members of the House of Representatives began to leave one after another, and the media swarmed around them.
"Representative Mike, how are the discussions going regarding the nationalization of the Federal Reserve? Is it true, as rumored, that the draft bill has already been submitted?"
"That's right, the Federal Reserve nationalization bill has indeed been drafted and submitted to a special committee for review. The results will be available in a week!"
After years of persistent questioning from reporters, the lawmakers who came out revealed the situation inside.
The news that the Federal Reserve nationalization bill had actually been drafted and submitted to the committee caused quite a stir, both among the reporters present and those following the news online.
Although the nationalization of the Federal Reserve has been confirmed, the specific action plan has not yet been implemented.
Now that the bill has been successfully drafted and submitted to the House committee, it means that the reform of this financial behemoth has truly begun!
The financial history of the United States is about to enter a new era!
Over the next seven days, the Federal Reserve's actions not only attracted attention throughout the United States but also drew the attention of countries around the world.
It is also worth mentioning that, because the Federal Reserve is involved in the global economic lifeline, despite David's extensive preparations, the bill still caused considerable turbulence in the US stock market after its announcement.
Some international speculators did indeed want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, investing heavily in the market. Fortunately, thanks to the early preparations of conglomerates such as Sean Masco, these investors did not gain too much of an advantage.
Seven days passed quickly.
On this day, reporters from major media outlets gathered in the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill, as it was the day the results of the review of the Federal Reserve nationalization bill would be announced.
Whether this bill will pass review and be put to a vote in the House of Representatives depends on the next announcement.
Amidst the attention of numerous media outlets and the public, a black man in a suit stepped into the spotlight; he was the chairman of the committee responsible for reviewing the Federal Reserve nationalization bill.
"Hello everyone, this is Parashear. I believe you've all been following the results of our review of the Federal Reserve nationalization bill this week, and today I'm officially announcing those results!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present, as well as those watching online, were on edge.
"After a week of research and discussion, our committee has unanimously approved the review of this bill, and a vote will be held in the House of Representatives five days from now. Please stay tuned for the vote results!"
"Very good!"
"pretty!"
"It passed the review as expected. I hope we can continue to win in the upcoming voting round!"
When news broke that the bill had passed the committee's review, those online who supported the nationalization of the Federal Reserve naturally cheered.
Meanwhile, on Senado Island, Henrietta and the heads of the seven Joshua families were also keeping a close eye on the progress of this matter.
However, when they heard the result, everyone's faces turned deeply gloomy.
After a long silence, Prescott finally spoke up, "Most of the members of the House and Senate are David's people, so it's a certainty that the committee will approve it. In fact, it's only a matter of time before the bill passes both houses. What other options do we have?"
After he said this, Joshua and the others exchanged glances, but ultimately couldn't utter a single word.
If they had a way, they would have acted long ago. Now that they have watched the bill being submitted to Congress and passed the committee's review, what else can they do?
"I believe that now, there is only one way to save the fate of our families and our group!"
The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Then, a sentence from Eunice, the head of the Schiff family, drew everyone's attention, including Henrietta's.
"Schiff, what is your proposed method?"
Although Joshua didn't have much hope for the so-called solution, he decided to figure it out first.
"In this situation, our only chance of survival is to kill David!"
"Kill David? If he were that easy to kill, we would have succeeded long ago. Since we failed before, it's even more impossible now!"
Those present were taken aback by these words, but Joshua, realizing what was happening, scoffed and replied.
They had used this tactic before, and it was when David's power hadn't yet reached a point where he could control everything.
Now that David's power has expanded to a point where he controls multiple powerful departments, it is even less likely that they will succeed in using such assassination methods again.
"Joshua, nothing in this world is absolute, and things have come to this point, do you have any other options?"
Seeing that Joshua was stumped, Eunice continued, "To put it bluntly, the reason we are in such a difficult situation is simply because of David. As long as he dies, I guarantee that his group will collapse along with him, and our group will regain its former glory."
"Everyone understands the logic, but now the CIA, FBI, NSA, and other major security agencies are all under his control. There's a chance they might be listening in on what we say, let alone assassinating him!"
Joshua was not very enthusiastic about the suggestion, thinking it was just a waste of effort.
"Heh, we've come this far, why not give it a try? If we succeed, it will be the beginning of our turnaround; if we fail, things won't get much worse. Do you really expect David to let us off the hook after the Federal Reserve nationalization bill passes?"
Eunice's words directly countered Joshua's statement.
Yes, for more than a year now, David has imposed all sorts of restrictions on them, just in case they run away.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that they're waiting for the Federal Reserve nationalization bill to pass before they deal with them properly.
If they don't do something now, they won't be able to do it even if they want to once the Federal Reserve bill is passed.
They will only face a tragic end!
"Although David now controls major powerful departments in America, he's not without opportunities, so I think Eunice's plan is worth a try!"
"Yes, that's right. If it succeeds, we'll definitely turn the tide. Even if it fails, the result won't be too bad. It's worth a try!"
After Joshua was unable to refute the proposal, the two heads of the Zadeh and Warburg families present also directly expressed the feasibility of the plan.
Ultimately, everyone's attention was focused on Henrietta.
Because they knew that even if they all approved of the plan, it couldn't be implemented if the group's leader didn't approve.
"At this point, this is the only way. Let's give it a try!"
Henrietta looked at Eunice and said, "Since you proposed this plan, Eunice, we'll entrust this matter entirely to you. We'll accept whatever the cost or price!"
Henrietta was well aware that once the Federal Reserve nationalization bill was passed, David would certainly no longer "keep" them and would inevitably deal with them ruthlessly.
So now, all we have left is to take another gamble and go for broke.
If they win the bet, they can indeed turn the tables; if they lose, David was going to deal with them anyway, so things won't get much worse.
……
The day after the Freemasons made their decision, Elvis went to the IRS and found David.
"Inspector General David, my department has detected some information, so I wanted to bring it up to you."
"What information?"
"According to our intelligence, the Freemasons are planning to take some detrimental actions against you, but we don't know exactly how or when they will do so, so you'd better be careful lately."
David frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Given that things have come to this point, would the Freemasons still dare to pull such a stunt against him?
But upon further reflection, he was able to understand it a little better.
The Freemasons are now completely at his mercy, and they know very well that once the Federal Reserve nationalization bill is passed, their end will come.
But if we can take him down at this moment, everything could take a turn for the better!
If he were one of those people, he would have taken the gamble in the same way under these circumstances.
"Put everything else aside for now. I need to know their every move, understand?"
Although he knew this group intended to harm him, David still knew that it was easier to dodge a spear in the open than to guard against an arrow in the dark, so he should be careful.
"Don't worry, my department will do everything in its power to ensure your safety!"
"Um."
About two hours after Elvis left, there was a knock on the office door. Kepper entered and said, "Inspector General David, there's a Mr. Shabot outside who wants to see you."
"Shabot? Who's that?"
"He didn't say it explicitly, but he said there was something very important to report."
"Something very important..."
David thought for a moment, then ordered, "Have Munson and Larin bring him in."
The Freemasons are now planning to harm him, and he doesn't know if Shabot is an assassin or something, so he called Munson and Larin in just in case.
As for the other party's so-called important matter, it did pique his interest to some extent.
Soon, Munson and Larin brought in the man named Shabot, one on each side.
Upon meeting, the man from Shabot reached out and walked towards him, but was quickly stopped by Larin.
"Mr. Shabot, just say what's on your mind."
Seeing Larin's cold expression, Shabot dared not go any further and could only stay where he was, saying to David, "Inspector David, I have been asked to come and see you."
"Whom are you referring to as being entrusted with this task?"
"A high-ranking and powerful figure within the Freemasons!"
"Oh?"
David's interest was piqued, and he asked, "So, what is the purpose of this so-called important person sending you to see me?"
"He asked me to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
"After the Federal Reserve nationalization bill passed, he hopes you won't purge him and his family!"
"Since your client dares to make this demand, it seems they have some leverage."
"Of course, if I didn't have any leverage, there would be no need for me to be sent here."
"Tell me, what are your bargaining chips in entrusting this matter to you?"
Shabot glanced at Larin and Munson, then said, "According to my client, the Freemasons intend to take some actions against you in the near future."
"Specifically?"
David had just learned the news from Elvis, so he wasn't too surprised to hear it again.
It seems this high-ranking member of the Freemasons is using this as leverage to secure his leniency in the future. (End of Chapter)
