After Hardy learned that MacArthur had saved so much gold, he ordered Duncan to investigate how much gold MacArthur had hidden and where it was.
Now that MacArthur is still in Japan, Hardy can't touch him, but he will lose his power one day. According to history, he will be beaten up on the Korean and Korean battlefields, and then he will be dismissed by Johnson and lose the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.
It's less than two years now.
The gold was illegally obtained, and MacArthur did not dare to let them expose it. When MacArthur was dismissed and lost his rights, it would be much easier to deal with.
It doesn't have to be killing.
There are many ways to operate in the dark.
Let’s talk about MacArthur’s cousin Judson, after being arrested by the Federal Taxation Bureau, all accounts and fixed assets in the country were frozen.
As for the lawyer Judson asked for, he did come, but the lawyer said it was very difficult. Obviously, the tax bureau has conclusive evidence. Because of the huge amount, Judson may face high fines and more than 15 years in prison.
Judson was terrified.
Now that he has money, why is he willing to go to jail.
Judson grabbed his lawyer's arm and said anxiously: Floyd, you have to help me, contact my cousin General MacArthur, I believe he will have a way to save me.
The lawyer nodded, I will notify General MacArthur.
MacArthur is in his own manor in Osaka. He not only has manors in Tokyo. Today, Setsuko Hara is wearing a white floral kimono and is chatting with MacArthur in the yard. Someone asked her to make a film, which is an ethical film. She is giving MacArthur narrates the plot.
Just then the adjutant came in quickly.
Commander-in-Chief, there is a telegram from the United States concerning Mr. Judson. The adjutant naturally knew who Judson was.
MacArthur wondered, what did that cousin ask him for? It would be good to do his business well. After taking the telegram and looking at it, he only saw half of it, and MacArthur looked stunned.
Judson was arrested by the IRS and is currently in jail,
Two overseas account funds were found, totaling more than 6 million. Judson's trading company and its properties in the United States have now been seized by the Federal Taxation Bureau.
MacArthur has experienced decades of war, and he will not be afraid in front of guns, but seeing this telegram now makes him terrified.
Judson's trading company, which controls the Japanese black market, secretly owns his shares and can earn him seven or eight million dollars a year.
The money distributed to MacArthur was stored in overseas banks in the name of his wife Joni. If Judson exposed his wife, Joni would also be punished.
And the others are not stupid, so they naturally know that the money is for him. If his bribery is exposed, let alone participate in the presidential election in the future, he will not even be able to keep his current position as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.
MacArthur knew,
This is a distress letter.
Also a threat letter.
Judson was threatening himself that if he was sentenced, he would probably reveal everything.
What happened, my lord?
Seeing that MacArthur's face became very ugly, Setsuko Hara asked subconsciously.
One of the purposes of her serving MacArthur was to collect information from MacArthur.
Actually speaking, this woman is a spy.
Seeing MacArthur's face change, he knew it must be a big deal, and he didn't know if it would be of any use to Japan, so he asked.
MacArthur put the telegram away and put it in his pocket, looked at the woman with gloomy eyes, turned and walked back, this look startled Setsuko Hara, she knew that she must be asking about something that MacArthur was extremely reluctant to disclose.
MacArthur dotes on her very much these days, and she feels that MacArthur has become obsessed with herself, so she has become a little arrogant.
Setsuko Hara hurriedly followed, ready to make amends, when MacArthur said coldly: Aren't you going to study the script? Go ahead. I won't compensate you if I still have something to do.
Setsuko Hara froze in place.
It was the first time in history that a man actually drove her away.
MacArthur now has no time to deal with his lover. He is very upset. If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to overturn, which is definitely not what he is willing to see and bear.
He also knows that no matter whether he is in the military or in the senior officials in Washington, he has few friends and many enemies. If he is investigated, I am afraid that not many people will save him, and many people will come out if he is troubled.
back to the room.
MacArthur smoked his pipe vigorously.
Thinking about how to solve this matter.
tax evasion.
In the United States, it is more serious than a criminal offense. If you kill someone, even if you are in prison, your private property outside still belongs to you.
But if you get caught for tax evasion.
That's embarrassing.
You could end up with nothing.
The tax bureau has the right to fine you, pursue payment, and even auction off all the assets under your name to pay the fine.
In short, they dare to move those who cannot be moved by the courts, and they are capable of doing things that the courts cannot do. The imperial power chartered the Federal Reserve to support them.
Not to mention how great he is MacArthur. In the history of the United States, many ministers and congressmen were taken down because of tax issues, and the president would tremble.
What he is worried about now is not to be implicated. If Judson confesses to him, it will be a big trouble.
Find someone to intercede?
MacArthur found himself more enemies than friends.
Moreover, there are really few people who can talk to the Federal Taxation Bureau.
Finally he thought of Hoover.
Through secret communication channels, MacArthur contacted Hoover, hoping that he would help him rescue his cousin, and he was willing to pay more fines and reduce his sentence.
Hoover smiled slightly after reading the telegram, what a shrewd person he is, the trading company of MacArthur's cousin's main business is Japan, and Hoover can naturally guess that MacArthur must be a part of it.
Judson has overseas accounts.
MacArthur probably got more money.
The main reason for saving Judson was that he was afraid of being implicated.
In terms of relationship, MacArthur and Hoover are far behind. MacArthur has always been a soldier and has little political ties. Hoover has been in the East Factory for decades, and his ties in the United States are much deeper than the old Michael.
He contacted someone acquainted with the Federal Taxation Bureau to intercede, and the other party promised to help Judson hold down the matter, and the matter ended here, but the fines to be paid would definitely be indispensable. Hoover had no objection to this point, anyway, it was MacArthur who took the money.
But things went wrong the next day.
The Global Times suddenly published an article on the headlines of the second page. The six million tax evasion case may involve MacArthur.
The Federal Revenue Service has detected a major case involving the Judson Trading Company in Madison, Wisconsin. The Judson Company mainly exports grain and food, and sells millions of goods to Japan every month.
The investigation by the Federal Taxation Bureau found that Judson, the owner of Judson Company, stored the profits he earned in an overseas account, concealed funds to evade paying taxes, and was found to have 6.08 million US dollars in overseas account funds.
The reporter found that Judson had another identity, the cousin of MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Japan. Before MacArthur went to Japan, Judson was just the owner of a shoe factory. After MacArthur became the commander-in-chief, Judson quickly registered a trading company. Start a grain and food export business, and trade in Japan.
In just four years, Judson became a multi-millionaire. Now Judson has been found to have concealed 6.08 million profit funds. How many have not been found out? Is there any other people involved in this, and whether there is any right to trade in it? We pay attention.
As soon as this news came out, it attracted a lot of attention because it involved MacArthur's name.
Some newspapers reproduced it.
Some reporters went to the Federal Taxation Bureau to inquire, and the answer they received was that it was true. Judson is now in prison and is under further investigation.
In a current affairs chat show on ABC TV, several hosts also talked about Judson's tax evasion incident, and MacArthur was naturally mentioned.
Hoover frowned after reading the newspaper at work, because this kind of thing can still work in secret, once public opinion is formed, it will become extremely difficult to operate secretly.
Darkness is most afraid of light.
Private transactions are most afraid of exposure.
At this moment, the phone on Hoover's desk rang. It was the person Hoover was looking for, This matter was reported by the newspaper, and many people paid attention to it. It is no longer possible to do it in private. I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out what I told you before. go down.
hang up the phone.
Hoover cursed angrily.
But at this time, it was exposed by the newspapers, making the related people dare not operate at all.
MacArthur was notified by Hoover, knowing that the incident had been exposed by the newspapers, and the secret operation could not be carried out, so he also scolded the street.
Now that Hoover can't get it, who else can I find.
Suddenly, Judson couldn't hold on anymore and exposed himself, and he would be finished too. If this matter is not resolved, he will have trouble sleeping and eating all day long.
there is no other way,
He immediately notified his wife, Joni, and asked her to help Judson find the best lawyer, and go to see him in prison, and told Judson that he would try his best to save him, and if he was really sentenced and his property was confiscated, he would help him make up for it all. superior.
After sending the telegram.
MacArthur is still upset.
The sword of Damocles is always hanging above the head, and no one can be comfortable.
correct.
Hoover said it was the news that broke out in the Global Times.
Isn't that Jon Hardy's newspaper.
Oh shit,
Is this Jon Hardy here to beat himself? Since he came to Japan, his life has become more and more difficult.
MacArthur felt uncomfortable, but it was just the beginning, because Judson was involved in tax evasion. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter is likely to have something to do with MacArthur, but it has not yet been revealed.
On this day, MacArthur received an order from the White House.
President Johnson ordered.
In the future, Japan's economic and cultural activities will be in charge of economic special envoy Jon Hardy, and MacArthur will no longer intervene in economic and cultural affairs.
MacArthur was very aggrieved when he saw this order.
You must know that before, MacArthur was the real overlord of Japan, who had the right to handle all affairs of Japan. He could control the life and death of the emperor, dismiss the cabinet at will, appoint officials, formulate the Japanese constitution and laws, and adjust the economic and cultural structure of Japan.
He has more power than anyone else.
can now.
His rights have been deprived bit by bit. Before that, he lost his economic rights, but now he is also deprived of his cultural rights.
If it was before, he would definitely have a big fight with Johnson and fight for his rights based on reason. It's not like he hasn't done this before, but now he is at the cusp of public opinion, and he can only obediently obey orders.
Also to avoid suspicion.
…
at the same time,
Hardy has a new appointment.
He is fully responsible for Japan's economic and cultural management.
In the past, Hardy was an economic special envoy, but he was only responsible for helping the Japanese economy. Many internal economic activities were still in the hands of MacArthur, such as the purchase of Japanese food supplies. He used funds to adjust the economy and had no administrative power. .
Now that part of the rights is transferred from MacArthur to Hardy, along with the cultural rights.
That's exactly what Hardy wanted.
Now that Judson was arrested, the black market supply in Japan was out of stock, and Duncan came to report to Hardy. Now there are fewer and fewer commodities in the black market, and the price has been raised again.
Hardy said,
Isn't this a good opportunity to make money?
Now the right to supply Japanese grain is in his hands. He can sell as much grain as he wants to Japan, and supply as much food as he wants.
Duncan, if I hand over all the goods to you, can you control the black market and then control more gangsters. Hardy asked.
A ruthless look flashed in Duncan's eyes.
Boss, I have the confidence to do it.
Hardy smiled slightly.
Okay, from now on, I will hand over the channels of the black market to you. I want you to control more gangsters. These people will be useful to us in the future.
“As for the money earned, go to the Cayman Islands company account.”
Duncan nodded.
Hardy still has a lot of things to do in the future. The upper level has the role of the upper level, and the lower level has the role of the lower level. He started from the gangsters, so he naturally knows how much the gangsters can play.
Especially in Japan, the freedom of association and the semi-legal status of gangs also make Japan the only developed country with legal gangs.
Gangs make a lot more money than companies do. It is said that later generations of Yamaguchi-gumi earn more than $80 billion a year.
The most important thing is that they are rooted in the people, and their control over ordinary people is stronger than that of the government or even institutions. Some things that the government cannot do, they can do, and the effect is better.
Think about those industries in Japan in the later period.
Automobiles are the number one industry.
Accounting for about 45%-50% of Japan's annual economy, it is Japan's leading industry.
Now it has been completely controlled by the seven major consortiums.
animation industry.
Accounting for about 18%-25% of Japan's annual economy, it is Japan's second largest pillar industry.
It has not yet risen, and Hardy is also in charge of cultural affairs now. There is a comic company under the name of Hardy Group, which can be fully operated in the future.
Then there is the sex industry,
It accounts for about 13%-20% of Japan's annual economy. With a scale of trillions, this industry is more controlled by gangsters, and it is also one of Japan's business cards, which must not be thrown away.
Without those teachers.
It will be a great loss to the enlightenment education of teenagers all over the world.
The world will be much less colorful.
Some places in Japan in later generations are still secretive, and Hardy is going to use the power he has now to make them more open and open.
For the happiness of men all over the world.
