Chapter 303: Three Fires for the New Official to Take Office (I)

After a boring conversation without any substance, Caesar led the team to continue to inspect Paradise Island in a lively manner, looking at the team in the distance, Michael was still a little confused, how could the newly appointed governor feel a little chattering?

Caesar's second stop was at my rum distillery, and since I was not there, I had to be hosted by Rockefeller. When he heard that the rum distillery and the tobacco company next door were both invested by Duke Jackson, Caesar was a little surprised, and he said to himself: "I didn't expect the Duke to be so busy, and he actually has his own property on this distant paradise island, it seems that I need to learn from the Duke." By the way, how much tax revenue can this distillery contribute to Paradise Island now? ”

When it comes to tax issues, Rockefeller doesn't know how to speak, because there are reasons why Duke Jackson and James have taken special care of them before, so the rum distillery has not paid taxes at all since its establishment, of course, the revenue of the rum distillery is actually not good, after the Golden Islands thing is yellow, the distillery is even in a state of small loss, but in the British Empire, according to the law, as long as you do business, no matter whether you make money or lose, you need to pay a certain amount of business tax every month, If you make money, you still need to pay additional VAT on goods, so theoretically our rum distillery actually has the illegal act of tax evasion.

"Well, the tax payment is handled by our manager personally, so I don't know much about the monthly tax payment." Rockefeller thought about it for a long time, so he had to prevaricate Caesar with not knowing.

"Oh, you don't know, then this is a problem, your manager has been bombarded to the bottom of the sea by me."

"What?" Rockefeller was shocked when he heard that I had been bombarded to the bottom of the sea by Caesar, but considering that I had escaped death several times before, Rockefeller did not believe Caesar's words very much for the time being.

Caesar looked at Rockefeller, then at the others present, and suddenly said with a straight face: "I don't know what Paradise Island was like before, and I don't want to know it, but from now on, Paradise Island is not allowed to have any exceptions, even the dignified Duke of the Empire is not allowed to make exceptions." ”

Caesar's statement can be regarded as a warning, but also a demonstration, the meaning is obvious, from now on Paradise Island is his final say, although the words are a little uncomfortable to hear, but who made him the new governor of the island.

After leaving the winery, Caesar went to the tobacco company next door, and after the same words, the man with glasses was also on fire, the young governor was so proud on the first day of his tenure, and he did not know how much it would change in the future.

After inspecting for most of the day, Caesar and his party finally returned to the Governor's Palace, where all the cabinet officials were already standing and waiting, and they had also heard about the words and deeds of the new Governor, and the hearts of the people were somewhat uneasy, and they did not know what would await them.

Caesar had all the cabinet officials sit down in order, and then the first cabinet meeting was held.

First of all, Caesar took out his letter of appointment and passed it down to everyone, during which Caesar said to everyone quietly: "I am the new Governor of Nintendo Island, personally instructed by Her Majesty and nominated and approved by the Imperial Cabinet. ”

While everyone looked at the letter of appointment, while carefully listening to Caesar's lecture, no one dared to speak first, Caesar was very satisfied with the performance of the cabinet officials, he continued: "I know that some of you have doubts, that the previous governor was assassinated not too long, how I was appointed so quickly, and have come to Paradise Island to take up his post, what I want to tell you is that even if James is not assassinated, he will be replaced, but by chance, on my way to Paradise Island." , he was assassinated suddenly, so it just happened to save the process of handover. ”

Sandro frowned and asked, "But if according to you, the Empire has long planned to replace Governor James, why haven't we received any notice in advance?" ”

"Does the Queen's appointment of a new Governor of the Island need to greet you in advance?"

"Of course, Her Majesty has the right to appoint officials of the Empire at any time, but the replacement of the Governor is not a trivial matter, even if Her Majesty does not need to greet us in advance, but at least she will notify us after the appointment, right?"

"Hehe, if you really don't understand this question, you can go and ask Her Majesty for advice yourself."

"Well, even if Her Majesty doesn't feel the need to inform us in advance, why didn't Duke Jackson know? Traditionally, in overseas territories such as Paradise Island, the choice of the supreme governor is usually nominated by the Duke. ”

"That was before, and Her Majesty felt that such an approach was really inappropriate, and from now on there will be no such practice."

Caesar opened and closed his mouth to say that His Majesty was the Queen, and as soon as he lifted the Queen out, it was not easy for others to say anything, after all, their level was too low, where could they ask Her Majesty's thoughts, so except for Sandro, the other cabinet officials basically chose to remain silent.

"Alright, that's all for my appointment, and then I'm going to announce another appointment, and from today, Hagrid will replace Sandro as the new commander of the Island Guard, and everyone applauds and welcomes him." After speaking, Caesar took the lead in clapping his hands, but everyone present, except for Caesar's own entourage, all turned their eyes to Sandro with a stunned face, Sandro stood up excitedly and asked, "This is also what Her Majesty meant?" ”

Caesar looked at Sandro and said calmly: "This is not what Her Majesty meant, this is what I meant!" ”

"Why did you remove me? You know, I'm the commander of the Island Guard, appointed by Duke Jackson himself! ”

"So what?" Caesar squinted at Sandro, "Can't I remove the person appointed by Duke Jackson?" Don't forget, I'm the Governor of Paradise Island now, and I'm in charge of everything here! ”

"Not necessarily, right? According to the laws of the Empire, the military defense of the overseas territories is under the unified management of the Imperial Expeditionary Force Command, and Duke Jackson is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, so the commander of my island escort should be appointed by the Duke, even if you are the governor of Paradise Island, you are not qualified to remove me! ”

"What if Duke Jackson is no longer the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and the new commander has granted me this right?"

"What?" As soon as Caesar's words came out, everyone present was stunned, they never expected that the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force was also replaced, but this is not right, Duke Jackson has always been one of the most trusted ministers of the Imperial Royal Family, and he has been the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force for so many years, and has opened up a lot of new territories for the Empire, and has made outstanding achievements, how can it be said that it will be replaced? "It's absolutely impossible!" Sandro raised his voice and said, "How could Duke Jackson be removed from the position of commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, he has been the commander of the Expeditionary Force for so many years, and he has already established great prestige, who can lead the Imperial Expeditionary Force well except him?" I have to be suspicious of your identity! ”

"You don't have to doubt it, if you don't believe what I say, you can immediately write to Duke Jackson to ask for confirmation, this is the appointment letter signed by the commander of the Imperial Trust Expeditionary Force." As he spoke, Caesar asked his entourage to take out a new letter of appointment and circulate it to everyone, which was indeed clearly written, appointing Hagrid as the commander of the new Paradise Island Guard, and Sandro the commander of the Far Guard, making another appointment, and the final signing office was indeed not the signature and seal of Duke Jackson.
