Chapter 128
chapter 0086 part 2
You should know that the Federation, as a capitalism, proclaims private property to be sacred and inviolable! In the 1930s, Boss Tang's predecessor, Al Capone, the underground gang boss of Chicago at the time, was famous. He not only controlled a large number of businesses in the area but also had the ability to interfere with government management. Even some Councillors would specifically seek Capone's support. His prestige in the Underworld once disdained the former crime boss and the current Boss Tang.
Although Capone's annual income in the 1930s could reach over 100 million, he was still reluctant to part with his money. After all, if he honestly paid taxes, half of his income would go into the federal treasury. The Hoover administration at the time also turned a blind eye to this. After all, Capone was no pushover; he would ruthlessly kill anyone who dared to obstruct him, and many people in high positions with great power could hardly escape assassination.
But as Capone became increasingly lawless, not only equipping his Subordinates with powerful firepower but also committing multiple bloody attacks, many High-level Staff felt that Capone couldn't be allowed to develop further, or the entire society would panic. So Hoover immediately ordered the FBI to secretly investigate, obtain Capone's criminal evidence and arrest him. But as the boss of a large force, Capone also greatly valued handling loose ends.
Therefore, after much effort, the FBI couldn't find any criminal evidence at all, and the only few clues were not enough to convict.
In the end, this Chicago boss was dramatically sent to prison for tax evasion and never got out until he died.
Unlike tax authorities in other countries, the IRS can conduct armed tax collection. The tax personnel of the IRS carry guns for law enforcement. If tax personnel come to collect taxes from you, and you try every possible way to escape and don't hand it over, they might not say much to you and just put a gun to your head.
The IRS has over 110,000 employees across the entire Federation. Moreover, their weapon level is very high. Among the Federation's agencies, if ranked by weapon equipment level, the highest is the army, followed by the Navy, and third is the IRS's weapons. Their weapon equipment is similar to the army's, basically having all kinds of weapons, including but not limited to planes, tanks, and armored vehicles. Not only are they fully equipped with weapon equipment, but they also have very great law enforcement power.
The IRS has forty thousand personnel who are dedicated tax inspectors. These personnel have very great rights and can freeze anyone's account or property at any time, whether you are a civilian or a high-ranking official with rights! This is also the reason Tang Song doesn't want to provoke the IRS.
"Boss, Willie Gambino requests a video call with you!"
After Tang Song signed the Chinese character 'Reviewed' on the document with his fountain pen, Lane finished organizing them and put them into a document bag. He took out his notebook and, after getting Tang Song's nod, connected Willie Gambino's video.
The video footage was taken by the outdoor swimming pool of a European style villa. The scene was a mess, and a group of people were busy cleaning up the corpses in the villa. On the floor tiles by the pool, there were bloodstains everywhere left by dragging corpses. Six or seven elegantly dressed Mexicans were tied up and kneeling by the swimming pool. Behind each person stood a Hitman aiming a gun.
"Boss, these are core members of the Cartel Group!" Willie Gambino bowed slightly towards Tang Song in the video call, pointing at the kneeling Mexicans by the swimming pool as he explained. "Ferdinand, who participated in the kidnapping, is the younger brother of the Cartel Group's leader!"
"The Butcher just interrogated them. The reason they participated in kidnapping Miss Skye was that they wanted the two secret drug trafficking channels from Mexico to the Federation!"
In the video, The Butcher, passing by with a corpse under one arm, stopped when he heard Willie Gambino mention his name. He happened to see Tang Song's figure on the computer screen and quickly put down the corpse in his hand, bowing towards Tang Song. Tang Song raised his hand to signal him to continue, and only then did he pick up the corpse and continue throwing it into the swimming pool.
Seeing this scene, Willie Gambino's pupils contracted, but his face was still full of respect.
"These two drug trafficking channels were created by Kingpin in partnership with a drug lord in Mexico. They dug out two four-kilometer-long underground tunnels from Mexicali in Mexico to Calexico in the Federation!"
"The drugs transported to the Federation through these two tunnels every year are calculated in tons. It had always been an important source of income for Kingpin!"
"Later, the Cartel Group caught an important Subordinate of the seller during a shootout and learned about these two tunnels!"
"Before, because they feared Kingpin, they didn't take action against these two tunnels, until recently…"
While saying this, Willie was carefully observing Tang Song's look. If Boss Tang showed even a hint of being interested in these two drug tunnels, Willie would definitely offer them with both hands. There was no other way. The strength displayed by the Assassin from the Brotherhood of Assassins sent by Boss Tang to help was truly too formidable. Although Willie Gambino had been a manager at the Continental Hotel for a few years, precisely because he had seen so many Hitmen, as an expert, he understood how formidable the group of Assassin sent by Boss Tang were.
"Boss, how should these people be dealt with?" Seeing that Boss Tang was clearly not interested in these two tunnels, Willie asked cautiously.
Tang Song looked at the kneeling people in the video, slightly raised his hand, and said lightly: "Kill them all."
Gunfire rang out one after another. The Mexican drug dealers in the video, after being hooded, were executed by firing squad. One by one, they fell headfirst into the swimming pool, instantly dyeing the clear pool water red.
……………
After dealing with the core members of the Cartel Group, Willie ended the call with Boss Tang. He picked up a bottle of beautifully packaged tequila from the table by the swimming pool and pulled out the sapphire stopper. Willie casually picked up a crystal glass from the side, about to pour himself a drink.
"If I were you, I wouldn't drink this poisoned tequila!"
A voice interrupted Willie's action. He put down the wine glass in his hand and looked behind him. By the swimming pool, the second batch of people were being executed by firing squad. A thin black man with glasses struggled with his upper body and shouted towards Willie.
Poisoned tequila. Looking at the beautifully packaged tequila in his hand, Willie signaled his Subordinate to bring the thin black man with glasses over.
"You say this is poisoned tequila?"
Facing Willie's question, the thin black man with glasses forcefully broke free from the hands holding him and straightened his suit and tie. He very elegantly extended his hand towards Willie.
"Allow me to introduce myself, Gustavo Fring, Eladio's enemy. This bottle of highly poisoned tequila is the gift I gave Eladio. Unfortunately, you did what I wanted to do one step ahead!"
"Enemy?" Willie played with the wine bottle in his hand, sizing up the black man in front of him. Strangely enough, as an Italian, looking at the black man in front of him, he actually found his behavior and demeanor quite elegant.
Gustavo ignored the dark muzzles of the Gunmen behind him, took out a white handkerchief from the outer pocket of his suit, and wiped his slightly foggy glasses.
"Ten years ago, right here, Eladio killed my brother. This time I originally planned to come for revenge. You eliminated my enemy for me. We can cooperate!"
Cooperate?! Willie scoffed, "Now that you are in my hands, what capital do you have to cooperate with me?"
"You are not from the Federation?" Gustavo looked at Willie, the expression under his glasses full of certainty: "If you want to take over Eladio's business, you will need a partner in the Federation!"
"I have a stable distribution channel in seven states in the Federation. I can help you!"
