Chapter 364: Lonely Boat in Texas
"I wonder if the USB flash drive that Eberstein's assistant had in his hands fell into his hands..."

Augustine held his chin in his hand and thought,

"What! It would be terrible if this USB drive fell into his hands."

"It's more than bad. Didn't you hear the news from the Freemasons just now? That bastard is working on such a bill. If he really has such a USB flash drive in his hand, how many members of Congress will be coerced by him? Once it is really drafted, it's hard to say whether we can stop it."

Although the Illuminati, the Ansa Group and the Freemasons hold a considerable number of seats in Congress, there are too many congressmen who have been to Loli Island. If David really has that USB flash drive in his hand, perhaps the congressmen who were originally loyal to them will compromise.

After all, now is the critical juncture of the midterm elections, and even a little negative news can destroy the political reputation these congressmen have accumulated throughout their lives.

"There's no point in being anxious now. The Freemasons have notified us to go to their headquarters in two days to discuss this matter. Let's go together!"

If it had been in the past, it would have been impossible for the three backbones of the group to go to the Freemasonry headquarters together.

But now, this matter is too critical and they can't care about so much.

At the same time, after hearing about Loli Island and the bill, the Ansa Group was also greatly shaken.

After a heated discussion for half a day, they finally decided to accept the invitation to attend the trilateral meeting held by the Freemasons two days later to see what the solution of the other two parties would be.

……

Five days later, in addition to David and Sean, three middle-aged men arrived in a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Austin, the capital of Texas.

"Mr. Besel McGuda and Mr. Charlie, since you are here, I will speak frankly. I know that your three families have a lot of power in Congress, so the purpose of asking you three families to come here is very simple. I need to use your power in Congress!"

Among the 50 states of the United States, Texas is a very special state and is also known as the 'Lone Star Republic'.

Its desire for independence ranks first among all states in the United States.

This can be traced back to the fact that Texas was once a Spanish colony and later became part of Mexico.

In the early 19th century, Americans began to immigrate to Texas in large numbers. They were attracted by the vast land, rich resources and free atmosphere here. Mexico was also happy about this, after all, Americans brought high consumption power and development opportunities to Texas.

However, as more and more Americans came to Texas, the American government gradually showed its covetousness for Texas and tried many times to buy this land from Mexico, but was rejected by Mexico every time. After all, this is their money bag.

After that, Mexico implemented high taxes, military control and the prohibition of slavery, which offended everyone in Texas. Whether they were American immigrants or native Texans, they were dissatisfied and resisted Mexico's rule.

In 1835, a revolution broke out in Texas.

On March 1836, 3, Texas, under the leadership of Sam Houston, officially declared independence from Mexico and became an independent republic.

In the days that followed, with the promotion of the United States, Texas was successfully incorporated into the territory of the United States and became a state of the United States.

However, this later intensified the conflict between the North and the South in America, laying the groundwork for the subsequent civil war.

But no matter what, Texas is still the most special state in the United States. It has not completely given up its independence and uniqueness, and has retained its national flag and state flag, a white five-pointed star, representing Texas' freedom and independence. This is also the origin of Texas being called the "Lone Star Republic."

Over the years, Texas has developed rapidly, with a GDP of 2.4 trillion US dollars, second only to the largest state, California.

If Texas were an independent country, it would be the world's eighth largest economy, surpassing the Soviet Union, and would be truly wealthy enough to rival a country.

It is precisely because of its prosperity, coupled with Texas’ previous historical reasons, that in recent years, the state has frequently announced its intention to become independent from the United States.

To this end, the National Guard was mobilized several times, and bloody conflicts occurred with the American military.

Of course, these historical reasons are not the reason why David called these three people here today.

Due to long-standing historical reasons, this state is one of the few states in the United States that has not been deeply infiltrated by the Freemasons, the Anglo-Illuminati, and the Illuminati.

The families behind these three men currently have the greatest influence on the state.

So this is why David called the three of them here.

The faces of the three people who were named suddenly turned bitter.

Sure enough, what they thought was exactly right. David came to them for no good reason and even wanted to borrow their power in Congress?
Are they planning to use it against the Freemasons, Ansa Group, and the Illuminati?
But then again, they don't want to get involved in this mess, nor do they want to become victims of either side.

Then the man named Besemai replied cautiously, "It's like this, Inspector General David. Our family has some influence in Congress, but it's very limited and basically has no effect. Let's put it this way. Apart from Congress, if you need help in other areas, such as taxation in Texas, we can help you."

"Inspector General David, our family's influence in Congress is limited, but we can also provide help in other areas. Please understand..."

"Inspector General David, you know, our family has focused on business over the years, and our influence in politics has gradually declined. We also don't have much power in Congress. You see..."

Gotha and Charlie next to them also echoed the words with a look of grievance.

In fact, logically speaking, Texas is a troublesome state in the United States, and the three major families are the most influential families in the state. There is no reason for them to be so afraid of David.

But there is no way. In recent years, because the state has been jumping around too much, it has been severely restricted by the US government.

David was a tough guy, and the IRS behind him was even more difficult to deal with, so after some discussion, their family decided not to offend the IRS and David unless it was absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, they would be facing great difficulty in moving forward if they were already restricted by the U.S. government and then faced sanctions from the IRS and this powerful department.

David was not in a hurry. He listened to them slowly and asked slowly, "Are you done?"

"Ok?"

The three of them were stunned, then looked at each other, not understanding what David meant.

David turned his head and said, "Mr. Bessemai's memory may not be very good. Why don't I help you recall it? Your family has funded 14 seats in the state's House of Representatives, and one of the only two senators was also funded by you. Is this called limited influence in Congress?"

Beisemai, who was called out, froze when he heard this.

As a member of his own family, he certainly knew how many MPs there were in his family.

And what David said was right, their family did fund so many congressmen.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually found out their background. It seems that they came prepared. This is really difficult to deal with...

Ignoring the stiff-faced Besemai, David shifted his gaze to Charlie this time and said, "Mr. Gotha, as far as I know, Zechariah, Don, Jeremiah... these 13 congressmen were all trained by your family. With such a large group of congressmen, will your family's influence in the political world fade? Or do you think that the current dozen or so congressmen can no longer play any role in Congress?"

"This……"

Charlie, who was named, was also speechless. Even if it was just one congressman, as long as he publicly criticized a bill or policy, it would be enough to cause an uproar in the United States.

Not to mention that their family has more than a dozen of them.

Now that David has pointed it out, it means that what he said before the joke was just a lie.

"And Mr. Gotha, even though your family has no senators this term, it still controls 11 seats in the House of Representatives, which doesn't mean it can't help me!"

Godas, who was called last, just like the two before him, froze in place with an awkward look on his face.

After a while, Besemai finally came to his senses and asked, "Well, Inspector General David, what do you want us to do for you in Congress?"

He wanted to know David's purpose before making a decision.

“I need to push a bill!”

“Push the bill?”

The three of them were shocked, their expressions changing constantly.

After a moment, Besmer asked, "Inspector General David, what bill is it?"

"This bill will target tax avoidance policies in other places..."

David spoke out the bill.

After hearing the bill, the three people all showed shock on their faces.

In other words, after the introduction of this bill, tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands will no longer exist.

All taxes must be paid according to local tax policies, which is like cutting flesh for major companies!

Of course, the same is true for their three major families.

After all, many of the companies they control are registered in these tax havens. If this bill is introduced, they will be doomed!
"Wait a minute, Inspector General David, this bill cannot be passed. Once introduced, it will shake the foundation of our entire America and cause great unrest!"

Besemai, who had come to his senses, gave an urgent exhortation.

"Yes, Inspector General David, you know that we in America practice capitalism. This is digging up the roots of capitalism. No one will agree to this!"

"Inspector General David, you said you want to introduce a bill like the black tax bill. It's not that our family can't help, but this bill... is not suitable for introduction in our America!"

Gotha and Charlie also reacted and gave advice one after another.

They are not fools. If they help to introduce this bill, their family's interests will be seriously damaged.

The three major forces, the Freemasons, the Anzac Group, and the Illuminati, it would be strange if they were not skinned alive!

"hehe."

David sneered and said sarcastically, "Affect the foundation of America? I think it affects the foundation of your family, right?"

"You so-called families."

"We have made a lot of money in America over the years. It's no exaggeration to say that our family's wealth is enough to provide food and drink for dozens of generations!"

"It's just a bill that will make you earn a little less, why do you feel like it's going to cost you your life?"

Besemai continued to bite the bullet and replied: "It doesn't matter if I earn less, but... but..."

What he actually wanted to say was that if they really dared to help promote this bill, the three major Masonic groups would probably kill them, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

Because if they don't do it, David in front of them is not someone to be trifled with, and he will definitely find a way to deal with them.

"Don't bargain with me here. I'll give you two choices. First, help me push this bill. After it's done, I'll introduce a tax policy for Texas to make up for the losses you've suffered. Second..."

David didn't say anything else, but the three of them already heard a strong threat in his words.

"Inspector General David, what if we still don't want to?"

After thinking for a while, Besemai still couldn't agree. He frowned and looked at David and asked.

David didn't say anything. He turned around and came to the table. He opened the drawer and took out a thick document. He turned around and threw it in front of the three people. He said, "After arriving in Texas, I investigated the companies under your family. I don't know whether I am lucky or you are unlucky."

The three of them felt a jolt in their hearts. Could it be that there were problems with their company’s taxes?

With a nervous mood, the three of them picked up the documents on the table, but as the contents came into their eyes, their expressions became ugly.

That’s right, their company was indeed found to have tax problems, and every amount in it was extremely detailed, as if it was connected with the financial and tax affairs of their own company.

If the IRS announces an investigation into them based on this information, I'm afraid even if they hire the best legal teams, it will be difficult for them to explain themselves.

"what do you want?"

Gotha's face turned pale as he stared at David.

"I just said that you have two choices. First, help us pass this bill. Second, our IRS will immediately announce an investigation into your Gotha company and seal it up. Perhaps, we will also impose criminal penalties on your related personnel..."

"you dare!"

Gotha's eyes turned red, and then he said, "Do you know what the situation is in Texas now? It's a powder keg. If you do this, it will be like lighting a fuse. When a new round of conflict breaks out, can you afford to take responsibility?"

"Don't scare me. The confrontation between you and the military in Texas has been going on for a long time. Those useless people in the military may not be able to do anything to you. I really want to try out the armaments of our tax bureau!"

Since David dared to come to Texas, he must have a pretty good understanding of the situation here.

Texas does have frequent frictions with the military, and both its residents and its National Guard are indeed tough. It is also well known that the U.S. Army has always been not very good, so it has never gained any advantage in every conflict.

But just because the military’s ground forces can’t take advantage, it doesn’t mean that the IRS’s armed forces can’t take advantage!
