The interrogation of Samson was very difficult. After all, Samson was a soldier and was killed in a sea of blood. General torture methods could not be used on Samson, so the interrogators had to endure it hard.
, I hope I can pry Samson’s mouth open one day soon.
Regarding his criminal facts, Samson confessed, admitted that he organized the attack on the train, and executed Laurent Bakker on the spot.
But apart from this, Samson refused to answer other questions, such as whether there was anyone behind the attack and the current location of the officials who were abducted.
In fact, it is enough that the interrogation has progressed to this point. Rock does not have to drag Yang Smuts and Louis Botha into the water through Samson. Let alone Yang Smuts, the existence of Louis Botha
, it is still conducive to the internal stability of southern Africa. At least Louis Botha is willing to communicate with Roque.
In early December, the revised "New Tax Law" was finally passed by Congress. In fact, the current "New Tax Law" has already been revised in three drafts. Members of Congress forced the Legislative Council to delete all provisions related to private property, and then "
The new tax law was barely passed.
According to the provisions of the new tax law, private property is still sacrosanct, that is, the federal government has no right to levy any tax on private property. However, in contrast, the proportion of commodity transaction tax is expanding. The previous tax proportion was 5%.
After the implementation of the "New Tax Law", the proportion of commodity transaction tax will be increased to 8%, and the additional 3% will be turned over to the federal government.
The implementation of the "New Tax Law" has the greatest impact on Nyasaland. In the past, Nyasaland hardly needed to pay any taxes when selling goods to external parties. Now, all taxes must be paid in accordance with the regulations of the federal government. For this reason, the federal government has reorganized the tax system.
Bureau, Ada became the new director of the State Administration of Taxation.
This is the result of mutual compromise between all parties. Compared with the British, the French Ada is easier for Bloemfontein to accept, while Nyasaland, Rhodesia, and Transvaal will not accept one.
The Boer became the new director of the General Administration of Taxation, and Ada was still nominally a Cape native, so the Cape had no objection to this arrangement.
As for other states, their opinions don't matter.
The first thing Ada did after taking office was to ask Roque for help. In order to ensure tax collection, the State Administration of Taxation also set up its own law enforcement department.
"It's not necessary. If the State Administration of Taxation needs to enforce enforcement, it can apply for the cooperation of the Ministry of Justice. There is no need to set up its own law enforcement department." It's not that Roque doesn't delegate power, but there is really no one to give it to Ada.
Ada's requirements for talents are completely different from Roque's. Roque is more accustomed to cultivating them slowly by himself, while Ada adopts doctrines, so Roque will establish the University of Nyasaland, while Ada has a strong presence in Europe.
headhunting company.
"You put it simply. The biggest trouble for the State Administration of Taxation now is the Johannesburg Mining Alliance. Can the Ministry of Justice cooperate in this regard?" Ada certainly has her own reasons. If it were other aspects, the State Administration of Taxation could indeed apply for cooperation from the Ministry of Justice.
, but for the Johannesburg Mining Union, not to mention the Ministry of Justice, even the Ministry of Defense is not easy to use.
In southern Africa, the Johannesburg Mining Union is definitely a lawless place. In recent years, several gold mines have been discovered in Johannesburg. Now the number of gold mines in Johannesburg has exceeded 40.
Forty gold mines are backed by hundreds of dignitaries from southern Africa and the United Kingdom. Even France and the United States have invested in Johannesburg. Therefore, the situation of the mining alliance is very complicated, and it is a standard hot potato for the federal government.
When London agreed to autonomy for Southern Africa, Johannesburg's gold was the only sphere of influence that London wanted to retain. London needed Johannesburg's gold to stabilize London's status as a global financial center, so it was impossible to hand over all of Johannesburg's gold mines to Southern Africa.
.
So even though Philip had become the governor of the Transvaal, the head of the tax department in the Johannesburg region was still appointed directly from London.
This is also the only department in southern Africa that requires a person in charge from London.
After Southern Africa gained autonomy, Britain still nominally sent a governor-general to southern Africa. However, the position of South African Commissioner has been abolished, and the governor-general's rights are not as good as before. It has more symbolic meaning and basically has no say in the current southern Africa.
As a result, no one is interested in the position of Governor of Southern Africa. The current Governor, Lord Granston, has been in office for more than a year and has not even come to Southern Africa. Instead, he has been staying in London and seeking to serve in other colonies.
After the implementation of the "New Tax Law", the federal government's tax administration will also start taxing gold mines in Johannesburg. What's funny is that in this regard, the Legislative Council and Congress have maintained a high degree of consistency. It seems that everyone hopes to divest the British government from the southern part of the country.
Africa's last bit of influence.
However, it is not easy to tax the gold mines in Johannesburg. Although the mine owners no longer have their own army, the mine owners and the real investors behind the mine owners still have strong influence, so Ada
I only hope that the State Administration of Taxation will have its own law enforcement department and cannot rely on the support of the Ministry of Justice for everything.
It is said that Roque himself is a member of the Johannesburg Mining Union, and the chairman of the Mining Union is Xiaosi, so Ada does not think that Roque will sincerely support the State Administration of Taxation on this issue.
"Of course, as long as it is the need of the State Administration of Taxation, no matter who or any organization is involved, the Ministry of Justice will go all out." Luo Ke said righteously.
Ada is also worrying too much. The current Locke gold mine is no longer that important to Locke.
The greatest significance of the Rock Gold Mine to Rock is that it enabled Rock to complete the primitive accumulation of capital. Through the Rock Gold Mine, Rock not only gained a large amount of wealth, but also found a reason to immigrate to southern Africa in large numbers.
Now these premises no longer exist. The profit of Rock's industry in Nyasaland has far exceeded that of the Rock gold mine, which is still limiting production. Rock no longer needs to immigrate from the Qing Dynasty in the name of recruiting miners. Nyasaland
Saran has no restrictions in this regard.
So Roque is not joking. If the State Administration of Taxation needs it, Roque will really support Ada wholeheartedly.
"Really?" It's not that Ada doesn't trust Roark, it's the nature of capitalists that she doesn't trust.
"Really -" Rock was decisive. Seeing Ada's still hesitant expression, he immediately added: "I swear in the name of Arthur and Jessica!"
This reason was so good that Ada immediately stopped worrying about the issue, but she still said unforgivingly: "Ha, then you must first obtain the consent of Arthur and Jessica."
Really, Rock is really not used to the ethical relationship in white families. Everything has to be discussed. Chinese families are much simpler. If they don't obey, they will be beaten.
This meant that he was having fun. Roark didn't dare to resort to violence against Gavin and Alvin at home. Phyllis was very tough in this regard and didn't even let Roque get involved in education.
Of course, Phyllis promised that she would not neglect Gavin and Alvin's Chinese education. This was the prerequisite for Rock to let go.
After dealing with Ada, Rock went back to do Stoudemire's work.
I just found out that Ada is the director of the federal government's tax bureau. Xiaosi is still relatively optimistic. After all, the relationship between Xiaosi and Rock is here. Ada does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face, so she has to give Xiaosi more or less.
take care of.
However, the development of things obviously caught Stoudemire off guard. The richest person in southern Africa is not Roque, but the South African company that owns the entire Rhodesia. Although after the establishment of the federal government, most of the South African companies in Rhodesia
The privileges have been revoked, but through the Rhodesian state government, Xiao Si still maintains a strong influence in Rhodesia, so Ada struck at Xiao Si with the first blow, hoping that Xiao Si would set an example and support the work of the General Administration of Taxation.
"Impossible! It's simply a wishful thinking. I don't pay any tax that I should pay, and I will never pay the taxes that I shouldn't pay. The current business situation of the South African company is very difficult. It is losing money every month. There is really no extra money.
Ability to support the State Administration of Taxation." Xiao Si directly rejected Ada's request in front of Rock.
On the surface, the South African companies, as well as Roque's businesses in Nyasaland, must be good citizens who abide by the law and pay taxes, and there is no tax evasion or evasion.
The actual situation cannot be said to be that businessmen are naturally resistant to taxes. No one is willing to pay their hard-earned money to the vampires of the tax bureau. Although they will not evade taxes, legal tax avoidance is inevitable.
Sometimes unconventional means are used, not just in southern Africa, but across the world.
However, if these so-called legal tax avoidance behaviors can be hidden from others, they certainly cannot be hidden from Ada.
Ada is also a businessman herself and the executive director of Rand Bank. Many of Rock and Stoudemire's transactions were conducted through Rand Bank, so Ada has a clear understanding of this situation.
Ada does not require Xiaosi to pay full tax, but just make up the amount due. As for Xiaosi's legal tax avoidance activities, Ada will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.
There is nothing you can do if you see it, Rock did the same thing!
"Cecil, calm down -" Rock took the initiative to calm down the atmosphere. After all, we are all good friends and we can't make an unpleasant fuss over this matter.
Xiao Si looked at the smiling Ada, and then at the helpless Roque, and suddenly smiled freely: "Okay, no problem, of course I will support the work of the State Administration of Taxation, so be it, Nia
If companies in Saran can pay full tax, then South African companies can certainly do the same."
These words were said so harshly that Roque immediately changed his face and said, "If you want to die, stay away and don't get involved with me."
