"It's the fourth day, Tommy, are you sure you still don't want to try to find out, how the Prime Minister solved the country's problems?" Marduff saw Tommy Hawk sitting on a recliner outside the government gate like a lazy man again, enjoying the afternoon sun, smiling and walking over and asking, "Not every high school student has this opportunity." ”

"I'm not interested in politics, Prime Minister, it's already a headache for me to watch these guys and let them not make too much of a mess." Tommy spoke.

This was a conversation between Prime Minister Marduff and Tommy for seven days, but Tommy was not interested in Marduff's invitation each time.

"Alright, Tommy, then I'll take your chancellor's office for the time being to attend to some real business." Madouf exhaled, patted his belly with both hands, and turned to walk towards the government building.

The Prime Minister and His Excellency the Governor General are recognized by the students as good gentlemen, and they have been playing happily with the students these days, without any shackles.

Kevin completed his plan for the National Games, Dennis held a rock festival, and most of the cadets recovered from the madness of the first three days, gradually calming down, and there were no more strange incidents of chickens and dogs, trying to learn to understand the workings of the country like adults.

"Tommy, you'd better come here." Chris poked his cowboy hat head out of the government building and said with a serious expression.

Tommy walked into the conference room on the second floor, where Chris and a few students who were interested in taxation were constantly looking through the piles of papers and whispering, "What's wrong?" Your casino with David is about to officially open? ”

"Nope." Chris closed the door, and then handed over a document, which was densely packed with various numbers, Tommy looked at it without a clue, looked up and asked, "What is this?" ”

Chris pointed to the numbers above and introduced to Tommy: "We wanted to study how much tax would be levied if we opened a casino, so we looked up the tax information in this country, and then found out that Burton Sugar is probably evading taxes, yes, I suspect that Burton Sugar bullies people in this country who don't understand taxes." ”

"They only pay the most basic corporate income tax, but they don't find a record of paying VAT on agricultural products, and the statement they handed in shows that the net profit of the sugar factory is very low, I asked the previous tax minister, and he said that three years ago, Boton Sugar built a factory here, and it has been paid according to this figure, the reason why the profit is too low, Boton Sugar explained that they have provided them with too many jobs, the expenses are too high, and they have hired more than 6,000 locals to work for the sugar factory, in fact, I have understood, Workers who cut sugar cane or process on the assembly line don't get paid what they write on their reports. One of the students looked up and spoke to Tommy.

Tommy looked at the other person, "How can you be so clear?" ”

"My family has three county tax commissioners, Mr. Prime Minister, and I am preparing to become the fourth, and I think no one here is more sensitive to tax issues than me at the moment." The student said seriously to Tommy.

"Just suspicion, no evidence?" Tommy shook the information in his hand and asked.

The trainee said, "Mr. Prime Minister, if you are in the United States, this level of suspicion is enough for the tax department to come to your door and inspect the records of the sugar factory. ”

"Ashley says you're here, Tommy." Pam, who was about to be browned by the Caribbean sun, walked in from outside: "The sewage from the Bolton sugar industry even poisoned the wild boars......"

"Poor ghost, I'm going to lead the armed forces to blow up the sugar mill of the Burton Sugar Industry!" Before Pam could finish speaking, Catherine outside had already walked in angrily: "Tell me! Where to get the explosives! ”

Tommy Hawke looked at Pam and Catherine, "Queen, take a break, and explain what happened first, why you are all eyeing Burton Sugar." ”

"You know, I have four right-hand and beautiful servants, no, subordinates, they are carefully selected by me, I have never been interested in getting to know them before, but today my favorite black girl among them did not come to accompany me, because her mother is sick, she is going to take the place of her mother in the sugar factory, guess what I know next, almost all the local workers in Burton Sugar owe money to the factory, and their salaries are simply not enough to support their families, and the sugar factory of the son of a bitch has launched a loan service to lend money to the workers, Let them meet their basic needs and not starve to death...... Soon ...... "Catherine was a little emotional:

"Soon...... It turns out that all the workers owe money, and the wages they earn for a month are not enough to pay the interest they owed before, so they can only continue to borrow money from the factory, and the factory tells them that if they work hard, they will not collect the arrears, and will continue to lend them money to support themselves, but if they quit, they will ...... To return all the money, including interest, they have turned the workers into fucking slaves who have owed money for generations and can never pay it off! More brutal than British colonial rule! ”

"Hey guys, I've heard you all in the office next door." Zoe pushed open the door, threw a contract on the table in the conference room, and spoke softly:

"Look what David and I found, this is a contract, the United States originally promised to provide $20 million of support to the country in order to allow St. Vincent to become independent and join the Organization of American Cooperation established by the United States, on the condition that the American sugar mill should come here to invest and build a factory, monopolize the only industry in the country that can still make money, the sugar industry, the word monopoly may be too direct, it is written that it is the exclusive right to cooperate, and within half a year of the signing of the contract, Bolton Sugar came here to open a sugar factory, but the United States said 20 million aid, It's been almost three years, and it still hasn't materialized. ”

David Schaeffer also walked in and looked at the few people in the room with a blank face: "The United States promised St. Vincent that after independence, it would provide financial support to this country for the development of medical care, education and other systems to ensure that this country can get on the right track after independence, but the result is that this country has lost the colonial aid provided by Britain before, and the Americans have not given this country any benefit, they are almost equivalent to blatantly robbing the country's most valuable sugar industry, not giving St. Vincent a cent, This poor country has been played around by the United States, but there is nothing that can be done. ”

"That's what really makes everybody in this country flattering us, and they want us to have enough fun, to discover the heavy stuff that this country hides under the mask of joy, and to help them." Zoe spoke.

Tommy Hawke exhaled depressedly: "I finally understand the reason why Prime Minister Madouf refused to divide the account at the beginning, which is much more complicated than the score, they know that although they are the head of this country, but in the eyes of the United States, their status is not even as good as a group of high school students, this is the real reason why the people of this country play crazy with us, he regards us as real student leaders, but in fact, if we return home, we are not qualified to say a word with Washington." ”

"Tommy, even if we don't have the right to go to Washington, we have to do something." Chris spoke as Tommy walked out the door.

"I know, but I'm always going to ask the former prime minister if that's what he wants to see." Tommy opened the two doors of the conference room, and saw the real prime minister of the country, the governor, two elderly men standing alone at the end of the corridor, looking at Tommy and the American high school students behind him, obviously the soundproofing of the conference room is not very good.

"Sorry, children, we're sorry......" Prime Minister Marduff bowed his head in shame, but then raised his head: "This is the sorrow of a small country, no one wants to listen to us." ”

Tommy Hawke lit a cigarette and turned his head to look at the high school students in the conference room looking at him: "He calls us kids, I want to say, we're not just kids, let them see what it means to be a youth student leader in the United States, our term is still three days away, and in three days, we're going to teach America what a fucking leader is to have a contract spirit!" ”
