Chapter 159 Become a tax bureau commissioner! (2 in 1)
In the mid-1880s, the first high-rise building in the United States was designed and built by Sullivan's teacher, designer William Baron Jenny.
It was also during the same period that subways were built and expanded in several cities in the United States.
In the following decades, after experiencing World War I and World War II, the United States relied on its unique geographical advantages. First, it declared neutrality and would not participate in the war. It sold weapons to both parties to make a fortune in the war. Then it reviewed the situation and found an enemy at the right time.
Using the right excuse to join the war, he can directly plunder the wealth and even important talents of other countries, and by the way, he can also attract talents from other countries in the name of "Pure Land". In just a few decades, unimaginable material resources and talent reserves have been accumulated, thus
Become the world's most powerful country.
It can be said that the entire country of the United States made its fortune based on war. It is no wonder that they also want to be the world's policeman and provoke wars everywhere in peaceful times. This is their old profession, and it has passed the test of time and has many fruitful results ahead.
of!
In short, since the first high-rise buildings and subways, along with the rapid accumulation of capital, these buildings have sprung up in most cities in the United States. In the 1920s and 1930s, the United States at that time
It already has the scale of a modern city, worthy of its position as the world's most powerful country...
Then the problem came. Eighty or ninety years later, the buildings here are still the same.
High-rise buildings are still high-rise buildings, and subways are still subways. However, no matter how glamorous, high-end, and classy things were from 80 or 90 years ago, they will become dilapidated and decayed over time, even the surface of high-rise buildings.
Even a fresh coat of paint can't hide the cracks underneath.
Even if the subway is constantly being renovated... Sorry, this is not the case. Although the subway is still running normally, the environment is dirty, garbage, used syringes and even excrement are everywhere. Strictly speaking, the subway is still cleaned every day.
Clean, but it doesn't matter. Let's not talk about how clean it is. The speed at which those people create garbage is enough to turn this place back to its original state within a day.
The iron sheets are mottled and old, the lights are dim, and with the vagrants, gangsters and other members who like to appear in such places, it is doomed to be unsafe.
From the small to the big, chaos abounds.
Anxi is very happy to see such a scene. Anyway, it is happening in the United States. No matter how chaotic it is, he can accept it happily and expects this kind of chaos to be more violent. It is difficult to say that the chaos that has happened in the United States during this period has not happened without him.
A share of the credit is included.
"Wait, what does this have to do with me? I'm just a kind and sunny young man. As a person... what is my status now?" Anxi protested and then asked.
"SHIELD's special external temporary commissioner has level six authority." Natasha, who was driving, said, "But this identity cannot be easily exposed, so we also need to give you a clear identity so that you can travel in New York.
Free time...do you have any ideas?"
"Idea? I mean, whatever I say will work? What about the President of the United States?" Anxi suddenly became interested, "Or the Secretary of Defense? The military boss? That is, you know, he can master the nuclear weapons code and give orders.
The kind that launches directly!"
"If we could do that, our current situation wouldn't be so difficult..." Natasha rolled her eyes, "And even the people you mentioned don't have the power to launch nuclear weapons on a single order."
"What about those people?" Anxi asked curiously.
"Generally speaking, the president needs to first submit a launch application, and then the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the president will confirm and discuss it, and only after reaching an agreement with the general staff headquarters can the next stage be entered," Natasha said, "This kind of
Of course, it is impossible for a weapon to be fired at the command of one person. In that case, the world would have been in chaos, or even the end of the world."
"That's not necessarily the case." Anxi raised his eyebrows. In a normal world, Natasha's words would not be a problem. After all, intercontinental missiles carrying nuclear warheads that can rise into space and then accelerate downward are so fast that there is no way to intercept them.
However, in the Marvel world... there are so many things that can be intercepted. You can find a lot of them casually, not to mention the members of the Avengers, and any second- or third-tier small characters as long as they can detect them.
It is estimated that the landing point can be solved.
In this place where technology and mutation are everywhere, it's not surprising that all kinds of weirdos appear.
"What do you know?" Natasha frowned upon hearing this, realizing that the matter was not simple.
"Everything is possible, I just hold this view," Anxi said, "Let's go back to the things we are going to discuss. If you can't give me some higher positions, at least give me
A range that can be chosen so that it is easier for me to make a decision."
"Basically all middle and low-level positions in official organizations, as well as some company employees are not impossible...First of all, I need to tell you clearly that this is just a disguised identity. What you really need to do is to help me investigate.
Something." Natasha said, "In return, you can make some conditions."
Natasha's tone of voice was a little more official. She obviously recognized Anxi's identity as a member of the Spear Bureau. She talked purely in terms of the communication method between SHIELD and the Spear Bureau. Anxi was not surprised.
It certainly cannot be said that Natasha ignored the personal friendship between the two. It is definitely much better to discuss business matters in a business manner than to mix up personal feelings. It can be said that Natasha's choice is quite wise.
"Of course there are conditions, but I haven't thought about it yet... let's talk about the issue of concealing one's identity on the surface first," Anxi waved his hand, indicating that he was not in a hurry about this matter for the time being. After all, he was completely unaware of conditions.
You can wait until later to assess the situation before adding more. If you decide now, there will be no chance to change it then.
The main reason is that Anxi considers himself a good young man who keeps his promises and is sunny and kind-hearted. Setting conditions first and then going back on his word is something that cannot be done unless necessary. It would be better to not be sure from the beginning and then speak loudly...
Oh no, reasonable requests, reasonable requests are appropriate.
"Since we need to investigate something, I think it should involve some organizations and companies, right? If that's the case, then arrange one for me..." Anxi thought for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he said,
"Then arrange for me to be a tax bureau commissioner!"
"Inland Revenue Department?" Natasha was stunned.
"Yes, IRS, I think this is a good disguise." Anxi nodded.
"Yeah... people from the tax bureau can justifiably investigate all organizations and companies... What a great idea!" Natasha also figured this out.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service, IRS, is a private agency in the United States... Yes, you read that right. It is responsible for all companies, organizations and even individuals in the entire United States, including the presidential office, except for tariffs.
The tax collection agency is a private organization with its own armed army, which is quite powerful.
There is a saying that goes like this, "In the United States, only death and taxes are eternal." As an institution specially established by President Lincoln for the Civil War, people at that time took out their guns before the taxman came to the door before they opened their mouths.
, the Lincoln administration gave the IRS considerable power - "armed tax collection". For this purpose, they specially established new tax police, equipped with armed forces, as well as independent prisons and courts, and could directly enforce property rights without applying.
The frozen power... in short, is ridiculously powerful.
With such a powerful force, it is necessary to achieve corresponding performance to avoid being cancelled. The IRS fulfills this very well. Unless it is a reasonable tax avoidance through tax laws, any tax evasion will be detected by them once it is discovered.
, there is basically no good fruit to eat.
In the United States, even illegal and criminal activities, including drug trafficking, require tax. Even robbery must pay tax... Otherwise, we will arrest you!
And the most interesting thing is this. Since they are independent from other police organizations, as long as you pay taxes, they will ignore you. "Catching criminals is the police's business, what does it have to do with us collecting taxes?"
They implement things, so even if you are a criminal, you have robbed or stolen, sold drugs and made profits, as long as you pay the corresponding taxes reasonably and legally according to the prompts on the IRS official website, then even if the IRS has evidence of your crime, it will
Don't worry.
No matter whether the CIA or FBI goes to the IRS to ask for this evidence, they will not give it to them because according to regulations they have the obligation to keep this information confidential. Even if you can get evidence that they handed this information to people in other organizations,
You can also sue them...
Yes, this is the IRS in the United States, a rather legendary organization. As long as you pay taxes or avoid taxes in full compliance with the law in the United States, you will not have any trouble at all. You will not see the slightest trace of this group of people. But if
It was tax evasion and then it was discovered...The IRS will show their combat effectiveness, which ranks third among the domestic armed forces in the United States. Yes, third. The first is the US military, the second is the Coast Guard, and the third is them. Compared with
In the movie, it seems that the CIA or FBI, which are both very powerful and powerful, are even more powerful!
There was once a gang boss who did not believe in evil, the Chicago drug lord Al Capone, who was so arrogant that the FBI could not catch him but he was directly targeted by the IRS and then arrested. With only some detailed evidence and the IRS
(The FBI failed to send in the undercover agent, but the CIA sent in)
, directly conduct a search and obtain irrefutable evidence - according to the principle of a suspicion of innocence in the American judicial system, such a search should be illegal, so it cannot be carried out, but the IRS has always treated criminals with a suspicion of innocence... Who allowed them to have it?
What about fully independent prisons, courts, and even police and armed forces systems?
Of course, although the IRS is tyrannical, generally speaking, it will not be too unscrupulous in launching such "suspicious" searches on official organizations and even companies. After all, if something goes wrong and angers the real boss, then
The IRS can only take advantage of others, such as DuPont, Rothschild and other families, and even various corporate organizations under them... But these are also smart people, everyone is in the same circle, and they don't know how to do it.
If you make things difficult for each other too much, you can basically make each other live without being too cruel. More often, you are the kind of scapegoat or common citizen who has no foundation... This kind of thing is the same everywhere, but it doesn't need to be too much.
Word.
But what does this have to do with Anxi? He is just a person who uses this identity to do things. Oh no, to be precise, he is a person who assists SHIELD in doing things. Everything is the instruction of SHIELD!
Anxi's eyes began to sparkle with excitement. He had already begun to think about what he could do with this in the future. He could even go to the back to check SHIELD? The money that the braised man was greedy for was an extraordinary amount, and Jiu
Who has embezzled the most is unknown, so it wouldn’t be too much to investigate, right?
Natasha noticed Anxi's performance, but after hesitating for a moment, she still didn't say anything more. After all, she really knew how chaotic New York was at this moment.
"Bang!" Natasha's thought had just flashed through her mind when a ball of fire exploded in front of the right side of the street where the vehicle was driving. The broken glass was scattered around along with the fire and sound of the explosion. For a moment, there were screams and
Vehicles braked and horns honked one after another.
Natasha made a sharp turn to get out of the way of an oncoming car, then stepped on the accelerator to accelerate, taking advantage of the gap between the cars to dodge away, quickly leaving the explosion behind.
Anxi sensed the situation at that location with the biological force field that had been spreading out, and was not surprised. He had already noticed something strange here when the vehicle was still more than a hundred meters away from this place, but it was obviously not directed at him.
, so Anxi did not speak.
Of course, you still need to disguise yourself on the surface to maintain your personality.
"I thought that 'Free America, shooting every day' was an exaggerated rhetoric, but didn't expect that the reality turned out to be 'Free America, bombing every day'?" Anxi asked, "Or did your calm expression give me an illusion?"
"This brings us back to our original topic. Not long ago, New York was still in the same situation you mentioned at the beginning." Natasha patted the speaker angrily.
"Then I still have to reiterate that this has nothing to do with me... or does it?" Ancillo looked a little "confused."
"The exposure of Hydra made Fury very nervous. He directly took the lead in encircling and suppressing Hydra within the CIA. However, before his operation started, he was attacked. He disappeared, and then
...This is what it is now, the situation is quite chaotic in all aspects, but it maintains a strange balance." Natasha said.
"Fury disappeared? Didn't he leave any information?" Anxi asked curiously.
"The last message he left... was very strange." Natasha frowned, "He said, 'What's the use of such a good air conditioning system!'"
