Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1684 Biting is wrong
It is normal for politicians to accept political donations, and it is normal for various foundations to donate to politicians, but if it is an American foundation donating to a British MP, then this is very abnormal.

Political donations are all for profit. If you take other people's money, you have to do things for them. After breaking the rules, you will not be able to survive in this industry.

So what does the Rockefeller Foundation hope to gain from Abe Hamlet by donating to Abe Hamlet's office?
Reminiscent of Abe Hamlet's proposal in Congress to grant the Chinese in southern Africa the title of "Honorary White Man".

Thinking hard.

It seems that Americans are also very capable of mixing sand, and they really deserve to be the father and mother.

"A hundred thousand dollars has never been donated to my office—" Abe Hamlet argued vigorously.

"Of course, the donation will be remitted to your account, and it must be in the form of pounds." Willie Barry pressed on step by step.

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing—" Hamlet resisted forcefully.

"Then do you dare to disclose your account?" Barry chased after him fiercely.

"Boring, I don't want to talk to you, what you say is not true—" Hamlet wanted to run away.

"Don't try to run away from Hamlet, explain this problem clearly, what happened to that donation?" Robin Chelsea hadn't left yet, with a face full of vengeance.

"Yes, explain this problem clearly, otherwise you will never want to leave—"

"Why did the Americans give you money, did you betray the British Empire?"

"Don't ask if you have it, be confident and ask how much you have!"

The audience in the speaker's corner is not so easy to fool. Those who have time and ability to participate in this kind of activities are mostly related to interests, and they will not easily let Hamlet go.

"I said it, I didn't, this guy is talking nonsense!" Hamlet denied it three times, and he really didn't dare to just walk away.

Don't forget that London is the capital of the United Kingdom. It is the place where the emperor is at the foot of the emperor. Chelsea is also a rich area in London. The people who live here are either rich or noble. There are several old nobles and even a member of the House of Lords. , if Hamlet cannot give a reasonable explanation, then Hamlet will wait for the sanction of the House of Lords.

Although the House of Lords has lost most of its power, the influence of the House of Lords on Britain cannot be ignored. Many members of the House of Commons are themselves white gloves of the nobles of the House of Lords.

Including many Labor MPs.

This is not surprising, the aristocrats have pervasive penetration of the British Empire. The aristocrats are also big businessmen, with numerous family businesses and strong economic strength. Although Lloyd George ranks third in the history of the British Prime Minister, second only to Attlee and Churchill, in fact, are also stunned.

When Lloyd George was in power, the domestic and international situation faced by Britain was getting worse and worse. Therefore, when Lloyd George weakened the power of the House of Lords, the nobles of the House of Lords followed suit, transferred most of their power to the House of Commons, and retreated behind the scenes. Conduct remote command to the United Kingdom.

In this way, the nobles in the House of Lords are very happy. The power is in the House of Commons, so the responsibility for the poor development of Britain lies with the House of Commons. If it develops well, the nobles in the House of Lords are the biggest beneficiaries.

"You do, do you think you can hide the truth by setting up your account in Switzerland? Dreaming—" Barry continued to reveal that depositing property that is not convenient to disclose in Swiss banks is also a routine operation.

The "Swiss Banking Act" stipulates that the bank must keep the confidentiality of the third party's dealings with customers and the status of the customer's property. Violators will not only bear relevant civil liabilities, but also be punished by criminal law if they are serious. Customers from all over the world can safely deposit their assets in Swiss banks or entrust them to handle relevant business on behalf of them without worrying about being informed by a third party.

This rule is indeed an insight into human nature, and firmly grasps the weakness of human nature, which makes people have to obey.

However, this is not absolute. If you walk too much at night, you will always overturn. In recent years, Swiss banks have suffered serious accidents of leaking customer information, and their reputation has been greatly affected.

The "recent years" refers to the period after the end of the First World War.

Before the outbreak of World War I, Swiss banks were known for their absolute secrecy for customers, and many wealthy people deposited their money in Swiss banks.

As a result, after a world war, many Swiss bank customers died in the world war, and their property became a mystery, and their relatives and even their children had no way of knowing.

At this time, if you want to take the money away from the Swiss Bank, the "Swiss Banking Act" becomes the best excuse. God knows how much money the Swiss Bank made through the world war.

This situation has attracted the attention of European countries. Under the joint pressure of Britain and France, Swiss banks had to hand over some customer information, with a total property of more than [-] million pounds.

These are only customers from Britain and France, and only part of them. The world war caused the direct demise of the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. How many other customers are from the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire?

This question will probably never be answered.

"Nonsense, I don't have a Swiss bank account at all—" Hamlet firmly denied.

This matter must not be admitted, otherwise it will not only be a matter of benefit transfer, concealing income will be investigated by the British tax department.

And once the tax department intervenes, Hamlet will peel off his skin even if he is not dead.

"Then can you explain why you went to Switzerland in March this year?" Barry was not in a hurry, peeling Hamlet layer by layer like peeling an onion.

"I'm going on vacation, it's my right—" Hamlet's face was livid, and he now realized that if he didn't say please, his political career might be over.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you still have a holiday villa in the Alps, it seems that the salary paid by the parliament is quite a lot—" Barry teased, the salary of British MPs is indeed very high, probably the income of ordinary people About 50 times, but it is not so high that you can just buy a holiday villa in the Alps.

The Alps is the top resort in Europe. British aristocrats of average strength have to rent a house to live in the Alps. Hamlet bought it directly, and the economic strength is still very strong.

"I earned the money to buy the villa from my business—" The panic in Hamlet's eyes was fleeting.

"You lost £1913 in 15, nearly filed for bankruptcy, and then partnered in a coal mine in Cardiff, where you only held [-] per cent of your share - oh, and your coal mine has been destroyed by the coal miners' strike. You are closed and closed, where do you get your income from? Have you paid taxes?" Barry's question became more and more acute, and Hamlet looked terrified.

Unless the state power is used, the Swiss Bank will indeed not hand over Hamlet's account.

However, tax records can be checked. The British tax department has always been very strict with the supervision of the rich.

Only then did Hamlet notice that Jackson Swinburne, Deputy Commissioner of the London Inland Revenue, was present.

When Barry asked if he had paid his taxes, Jackson Swinburne whispered a few words to a young man beside him. The young man looked at Hamlet with mocking eyes, and got up to leave.

"Every penny of my income has been taxed. These are well-documented, and you have no right to ask me these questions. If you want to interview me, then go to my office and make an appointment—" Police Hamlet Suzu made a fuss, and wanted to leave as soon as he pushed away the person in front of him.

"Stop, you haven't answered the question yet!"

"Mr. Congressman, are you going to run away in embarrassment like a lost dog?"

"You chicken out!"

The audience talked a lot, and some people cursed directly.

Chicken out means timid and weak in English, and the extended meaning is "white chicken". .

During the World War, in order to encourage British men to go to the front, some British women insulted men with white feathers, put white feathers on men face to face, or sent them to men in letters. This is the so-called "white feather movement".

Without living in that era, it is difficult to understand the humiliation that this behavior brought to men. Hundreds of men committed suicide because of the humiliation, some even children who were not yet adults.

Before the First World War, the British were still very bloody. Most of the men who did not join the army stayed in the UK because they could not pass the medical examination.

The hateful thing about British women's rights is that even those wounded soldiers who returned to the British mainland to recuperate because of injuries, as long as the wounds are not visible on the surface, they will be sent.

So much so that the British government specially designed a silver brooch for identification to protect those wounded soldiers from harassment.

Politicians always have thick skins.

Hamlet didn't care about the audience's questions and insults at all, and was eager to escape from the speaker's corner that had fascinated him in the past.

"Wait a minute Mr. Hamlet—" Swinburne stopped Hamlet.

"Hehe, Lord Swinburne, good morning, I'm in a hurry right now, we'll talk about it later—" Hamlet tried his best to force a smile, and the tax collector couldn't be easily offended.

"No, I don't want to chat with you, but I want to ask you some tax questions. You can refuse, but next time I look for you, I will bring a police search warrant and a court summons." Swinburne The words made Hamlet shudder, and he dared to evade taxes.

Hamlet was dumbfounded. He still hadn't figured out how things could have turned to this level.

"Member Hamlet, if I want to interview you now, do I still need to make an appointment in your office?" Barry put his hands in the pockets of his vest with a leisurely expression.

"Of course, I welcome your appointment at any time—" Hamlet said viciously, and jumped out word by word through his teeth. Not to mention the interview, he really wanted to bite Barry.
