Chapter 378: On the eve of voting

"Mr. Henrietta, I have helped you delay the issue of the legislative number for a few days. This obviously makes the IRS very unhappy with me. Maybe David is secretly preparing to deal with me."

"If I stand up again at this time, who can guarantee what he will do to me with his methods? I am already a person who is about to retire, and I don't want to get involved in too many disputes..."

Nan Xi looked embarrassed.

"Speaker Nanxi, I know you are going to retire, but don't forget that the midterm elections have already begun. Now that David has reached an agreement with so many congressmen, can the arrangements you have made really be implemented smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Xi's face immediately darkened.

But before he could continue thinking, Joshua on the other side added: "You just said that Josh and David are in collusion, and who got the legislative number?"

"It's him Josh!"

"And why would he risk offending you and me to get this legislative number?"

"It must be a promise from David!"

"Given his position as the whip of the House of Representatives, what kind of promise do you think would impress him?"

"From what I know, he is not a man without ambition. With his position as the whip in the House of Representatives and David's support, what do you think will happen to the Speaker's seat you left behind?"

After hearing these words, Nan Xi's face became completely gloomy.

Are you going to say she didn't wonder why Joey helped with that bill coding?
This is obviously impossible!

She just wanted to pretend to be confused first, and then slowly think of a way to solve the problem.

But now, Henrietta and Joshua's consecutive words seemed to be reminding her, but how could she not hear the hidden meaning.

That is, if she does not stand on the side of the three major groups, then all the political arrangements made before retirement will not only be disrupted by David, but even the three major groups will make things difficult for her!
"Join us, Ms. Nanxi. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least for this midterm election, we can guarantee human and financial support for your disciples. Even if Josh has David's full support, your chances of winning will be much greater with us here."

Henrietta continued to strike while the iron was hot.

As for Nan Xi at this time, after careful consideration, she really didn't have many choices.

If Josh really got David's support, and now David has won so many seats in Congress.

When the midterm elections reach a critical moment, these votes will definitely be used to target her previous deployments!

And if she offended the three major groups at this critical juncture, all the political capital she had left might vanish in an instant.

Now, if we try our best to help the three major groups and get their support, there may be some chances of a turnaround.

After weighing the pros and cons, Nan Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Henrietta, I will do my best to intervene in this bill, but you must also fulfill your promise just now!"

"Of course!"

Henrietta smiled slightly and continued, "Okay, today's meeting ends here. And you, before the voting begins, you must win over the legislators from various states at all costs to try to get a better chance of winning!"

"Got it Mr. Henrietta!"

Everyone present agreed.

With the current Speaker of the House helping with lobbying, although things won't be much easier for them, at least they will get twice the result with half the effort!
……

The day after returning to Washington after the meeting.

Nan Xi did not delay at all. She immediately summoned a large number of congressmen in Washington for a talk in her capacity as Speaker of the House.

In this conversation, she changed her usual conciliatory tone and directly warned these congressmen in a tough tone, asking them to make the right choice regarding the tax avoidance bill and not be used by the "evil people"!

Due to her status as Speaker of the House of Representatives and her ruthless methods, many congressmen who had already talked to David suddenly became hesitant again.

There were even some who couldn't stand the pressure and said on the spot that they would definitely follow Nan Xi's footsteps and made various assurances.

Soon after, here at the IRS Office of Inspector General.

Elvis walked in and said seriously, "Something went wrong."

"What's the situation?"

David withdrew his attention from the documents and looked up at him.

"Nan Xi has personally taken action. She is now madly intimidating and coercing those congressmen to make the so-called 'correct' decision!"

Upon hearing this, David frowned slightly.

Nan Xi has controlled Congress for so many years, and has always acted in a domineering and ruthless manner. If she personally steps in to intimidate and coerce the congressmen, although not all congressmen will listen to her, some will not be able to withstand the pressure and will defect.

It seems that keeping Nan Xi around is a nuisance, and we should have found a way to get rid of her as soon as possible!

But it's too late now, the bill has already been enacted!

"Forget it, don't worry about him for now, just continue with the original plan. Also, tell the people in your department that they will have to work overtime these few days. I want to know every move of every councillor here!"

David said in a deep voice.

"understand!"

……

over the next few days.

Thanks to the operations of Church, Josh and others in the House of Representatives, the committee's dialectic and improvement work went exceptionally smoothly.

Finally, the chairman of the Legislative Committee personally stepped forward and announced in front of the media that the preliminary work for the bill had been completed, and the voting process would begin in three days.

When hearing the news, some people were excited and some were nervous.

Of course, the people who are excited are ordinary Americans and spectators from all over the world.

On the surface, this is just a bill, although some of it will kill the capitalists.

But in fact, this is a battle between the IRS and American capitalists.

No matter which side loses, it may be the beginning of their own destruction.

So naturally, these people and spectators are looking forward to seeing this good show.

As for those who are worried, they are the Freemasons, the Ansa Group, the Illuminati and American capitalists.

Of course, this also includes the IRS and even David himself.

Although both sides have made various efforts over this period of time, no one can guarantee that they will win before the voting results come out.

The most important thing is that this bill is not like a black tax bill. If it is passed, the ones who will suffer are just a group of insignificant criminals.

If this bill is passed, the unlucky ones will be all the capitalists in the United States, and these capitalists who claim to be the "masters" of America naturally cannot lose. As for the IRS, even if this bill is not passed, it does not seem to be a big loss.

But in fact, if this bill cannot be passed, it means that the group of capitalists headed by the three major groups have the upper hand in Congress.

Given the vengeful nature of this group of people, they will definitely retaliate against the IRS.

And if the three major groups that hold the upper hand in Congress take advantage of the situation to propose the abolition of the black tax bill, or to reduce the power and disarm the IRS, then it will naturally be difficult for the IRS to resist.

For the IRS, they can’t afford to lose this gamble either!

Amid the tense atmosphere among all parties, two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Tomorrow is the time for Congress to vote on the tax avoidance bill, and everyone's breathing has begun to quicken.

This is Nanxi's residence.

She and several members of parliament from the three major groups were sitting on the sofa. Although no one spoke, a closer look at their expressions revealed that they all looked uneasy.

The only thing that could make Nan Xi, an old political fox who has been active in American politics for decades, so uneasy is this bill that concerns his life and property.

Not far from them, staff were flipping through books of information, apparently compiling some data.

About ten minutes later, a man with glasses nodded, walked up to the two of them and said, "Chairman Nanxi, according to the current count, we have 235 votes!"

Hearing this number, the tense expressions of Nan Xi and others suddenly relaxed.

A few days ago on Senado Island, the Freemasons counted 221 votes. Fortunately, after a few days of hard work.

In addition, she, the Speaker, stepped down personally; after a round of intimidation and inducement, she won another 14 votes, which is a pretty good result.

"Give me the numbers of those congressmen who are still willing to waver!"

Nan Xi was still a little worried. After all, voting would begin tomorrow. To be on the safe side, she decided to make one last effort.

Soon, the staff handed the list to Nan Xi, and she began to dial numbers one by one, doing the final "ideological work"!
This is the IRS.

At this time, David was also carefully looking through a list.

But it can be seen that his mental state is not good, and the areas around his other two eyes are a little dark, obviously he did not sleep well in the past few days.

Seven or eight minutes later, David put down the list and nodded, "So, now our total votes are 239?"

"Yes, Inspector General, this is a great advantage for us. Of course, all this is due to your sleepless efforts over the past few days. Otherwise, we would not have been able to achieve such an advantage!"

Munson didn't mean it as a compliment.

Over the past few days, he personally prepared lists of swing congressmen for David, and then personally watched David bring each swing congressman to their camp.

All of this may not be a herculean effort, but at least it consumed a lot of energy, so it is well deserved to achieve this result!
"What about them, what is the number of votes being counted now?"

David looked across at Jerry who was also in a depressed state.

"According to the data from the CIA, the number of votes is probably between 230 and 239!"

Jerry replied.

"230-239..."

A heavy look appeared on David's face.

It seems that these three major groups plus the old fox Nan Xi are no pushovers. Even under such strong pressure from him, they can still get so many votes.

Although this is just the number of votes counted on the surface, there will definitely not be that many when the voting begins.

But no one can guarantee who will get more than 218 votes by then.

It seems that we can only know the outcome when the congressional voting officially begins tomorrow!
"Cuckoo..."

While David was still thinking, there was a knock on the door and he immediately shouted "Come in".

"Inspector General David, the director and the others are already in the conference room. Please come over!"

"I'll go right away!"

……

When I arrived at the meeting room.

At this time, not only Obadiah Donald was already in place, but all other senior executives had also gathered here.

After seeing David sitting down, Obadiah didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Okay David, the vote on this bill in the House of Representatives will begin tomorrow. Please report the details to us first!"

Obadiah and the others knew very well that David had been busy with this matter day and night, so although he was very concerned and nervous about the progress of the matter, in order not to disturb David's work, he asked as few questions as possible.

But the voting process is coming tomorrow, and they can’t wait any longer. They definitely want to get a general idea first.

David nodded and said, "Over the past few days, through the efforts of me and my department, up to now, the number of votes counted has reached 239!"

“239 photos, great!”

"As long as we have 218 votes, the bill can pass the House of Representatives. Now that we have 239, it should be safe!"

“Even if these 239 votes are the number on the table, I really don’t believe that when it comes to voting, more than 21 members will defect!”

Upon hearing the number of votes, many senior executives became excited instantly.

Because in their opinion, no matter what the number of votes is, it is definitely very stable.

However, just as they were still in an excited state, David's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads.

"Although we have a lot of votes now, don't be too happy. According to CIA intelligence data, the votes counted by the three major groups are also not small, ranging from 230 to 239!"

After hearing this, the senior executives who were happy just now could no longer laugh.

"How come they have so many votes?"

"Let's say they have 230 tickets as a minimum, but this is also very dangerous for us."

"We have 239 votes, they have 230 votes, and the total number of votes in the House of Representatives is 435. This means that 34 of the members are unknown, which is really dangerous..."

Although on the surface they seem to have some advantage in votes, this advantage does not constitute an absolutely overwhelming advantage.

Even if I really lose the vote, it would definitely not be a big surprise.
