Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Rosiana was also unwilling, biting her lip and said:

 “Why!

That position does not belong to their faction, and everyone can compete fairly.

 Even if the Shilavik Group is very powerful, as long as Misha stands up to support me, our two factions will be no worse than them if we join forces.

 It is still unclear who will win the general election. "

Constantine nodded quickly and said:

“Yes, yes, Rosiana’s royalist faction has considerable influence now, and the support rate among the people is quite high, that is to say, the support rate among high-level officials is a bit lower.

 But there’s also Misha, your strength in Moscow’s political arena is as strong as anyone else!

 Now that Meddev has the Kremlin backing him, you can support Rosiana.

And everyone is competing fairly, so I think the Kremlin won’t have any objections to you. Even if they lose, it’s just because their skills are inferior to others.

 I think he will understand this. "

The two of them sang together for one purpose anyway, which was to get Wang Ye to stand up and publicly support Rosiana.

In this current situation, it is no longer enough for Wang Ye to secretly ask his NTV station to increase Rosiana's exposure.

Stronger measures and a clearer attitude must be taken to support Rosiana!

Wang Ye is not unwilling to help Rosiana. After all, if Rosiana really wins the election, it will be good for Wang Ye.

If Meddev really goes up, and the adoptive father seems to have some ideas...

In the future, the power of the Shilawik Group will be further strengthened. Even if it is a royal industry, it will be very difficult to maintain a balance.

 So on balance, he would rather choose to push Rosiana up and suppress the Shilavik Group.

Of course, what Wang Ye hopes most is to "disperse" the entire Shilavik Group into two or three new factions, so that each faction is not too weak, but not too strong.

 In that case, a delicate balance will be formed in the political arena. This is what Wang Ye wants to see.

But Wang Ye also doesn’t want to publicly “break up” with the Kremlin and Meddev. After all, they all have a good relationship and work well together. In recent years, the Kremlin has even taken away some of the power that originally belonged to the Kremlin. When I got it into Wang Ye's hands, I treated him well...

Hence, even if Wang Ye supports Rosiana, he must find ways to do so, preferably without having to step forward himself.

 This will test his skills...

 …

After pondering for a long time, Wang Yecai relaxed his brows, put down the cigar he had been playing with for a long time, and said with a smile:

“There is no need to rush this matter, there is still a year before the real election.

As Grandpa said just now, even within the Silavik Group, whether there is a consensus or not, everyone agrees.

Perhaps after a while, a strong candidate will emerge from within the Shilavik Group to compete with Meddev.

 At that time, we don’t need to do anything, just watch them fight among themselves, and Rosiana can reap the benefits. "

Rosiana looked at Wang Ye with a confused face, as if she didn't understand.

 Because she really can’t understand it.

If there were any strong candidates within the Shilavik Group, there should have been calls by now to start building momentum and so on, but there is no such thing!

I have been paying close attention to every move of all parties, but no matter how you look at it, except for myself and Meddev, the other candidates are just running along and have no competitiveness at all.

Did Wang Ye really place his hopes on such illusory things?

 In other words, this is just Wang Ye's excuse. He doesn't want to have a tense relationship with the Kremlin because of his participation in the general election...

Thinking of this, Rosiana felt a little aggrieved.

However, Constantine was thoughtful. He stared at Wang Ye for a long time and then asked tentatively:

“Would there be such a candidate?

How can I not think of any candidate who has the ability to compete with Meddev..."

Wang Ye smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "Maybe it didn't happen before, but it will soon happen, and it must be there!"

Constantine nodded heavily, with a smile on his face, "Yes, the Silavik Group is such a huge force, with so many mountains inside, it is impossible to really unite and deal with the outside world.

With Meddev’s qualifications, in the eyes of many people within their faction, he is really not qualified to take over the position of the Kremlin. Some people may jump out to oppose or even compete with him.

By then there will be chaos within the Shilavik Group, and even the Kremlin will not be able to suppress all voices, so the pressure on Rosiana will be much less! "

 Obviously, he already understood what Wang Ye meant, and even guessed who the so-called strong candidate was!

Constantine couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Misha is indeed a genius. In fact, he is the one who should participate in the general election.

 His own granddaughter still looks too immature compared to him...

Wang Ye himself did not come forward, but by borrowing his strength, he directly caused internal strife within the Shilavik Group. This would cause Meddev to focus a lot of energy on winning support within the faction and not bother to go any further. There was a tit-for-tat confrontation with Rosiana.

At the same time, the Kremlin should not dare to support Meddev too directly, because he also has to consider the emotions of the elders within the faction!

 The most powerful Shilawik group has two strong candidates, which means that each candidate will take away the support of some factions. In this way, the pressure on Rosiana will be much less.

 Because she no longer needs to face a united and complete powerful faction...

Of course, all this is based on the situation Wang Ye mentioned, that is, a candidate with older qualifications than Meddev emerges, and he must be an old man within the Shilavik Group!

It is actually too difficult to guess who this candidate is. After all, those who can compete with the current Meddev must be from within the Shilavik Group, and there are only a handful of them.

 It’s nothing more than Shaoyigu, Gebrev, Korokoli, and Gryzlov!

Shao Yigu and Korokoli have just been transferred to important positions, and they will probably not participate in this election. And Gebrev... it's hard to say, because although he has a relatively high reputation within the Shilavik Group, his qualifications are also low. He is very old, but after all, he has always held the position of "general manager" of the Kremlin and has never been in charge of his own affairs. Therefore, compared with Meddev, he really cannot say that he has much advantage.

Then there is only one candidate left, that is, the current Speaker of the Duma, Grezlov!

In terms of qualifications and reputation, even Meddev and the others who are "tied together" cannot compare to Gryzlov...

Even the one in the Kremlin palace cannot compare to Gryzlov in terms of qualifications!

Then the question is, why is Wang Ye so confident in persuading Gryzlov to participate in this election even if he offends the Kremlin and Meddev?

This is what Constantine couldn't understand.

 But he also wisely did not ask Wang Ye. After all, since Wang Ye dared to speak out, it proved that he was confident.

And this kind of thing usually involves a wide range of things and is internally complicated, and Wang Ye may not be willing to speak out.

So, just wait and see how the situation will develop...

 …

After celebrating the New Year in Petersburg, Wang Ye did not return to Moscow. Instead, he went directly to Simferopol to stay with Agelina for a few days.

 Then on January 8, he officially returned to Moscow and returned to work.

At noon on the first day of work in the Duma Building, Wang Ye finished his official duties and strolled to Zhirinov's office.

This old man is in better spirits than Wang Ye now. You can see him in the Duma Building almost every day. He is the earliest to arrive and the last to leave!

 Obviously, what he originally said as "tired" and "wanting to retire" were not his true thoughts.

Now that he has returned to the Duma and has considerable power, he is more energetic than anyone else in his work!

Zhirinov was very happy when he saw Wang Ye walking in. He stood up and greeted him, giving Wang Ye a big hug.

"Haha, Misha, I even said that I would invite you to my house to celebrate the New Year, but when I asked your assistant Nova, I found out that you went to Petersburg. How about that, that old guy Constantine didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "How could it be? He treats me and Rosiana very well, without any airs of elders at all."

"Well, speaking of it, you can marry Rosiana, which is the glory of their family! The Romanov family is not the old Tsarist Russia era. Who cares about their so-called noble blood now? Seriously, you More like nobles than them!" Zhirinov said casually.

The two of them sat down on the sofa together, and Zhirinov asked his secretary to bring hot coffee.

His and Wang Ye's styles are different. Wang Ye's secretaries are all beautiful women, while Zhirinov only has two assistants, both of whom are old ladies with waist waists...

However, the work he is responsible for is far less than that of Wang Ye.

After all, for Wang Ye, Duma work only accounts for a small part of his total work. In addition, he also manages several large group companies, as well as the National Economic Council, the Foreign Affairs Committee, the EPPO, Economic mutual aid organizations, etc…

So if there are fewer secretaries, we will not be able to be busy at all!

“I haven’t been here in Moscow in the past few days, has anything happened?” Wang Ye asked casually while drinking coffee.

Zhirinov frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. If I have to say it, it's that old boy Gryzlov seems to be in a bad mood these days. Several members of parliament have complained to him. He was scolded by him when he reported to work. One congressman even complained to me that Gryzlov was in menopause and was moody."

Wang Ye asked with concern: "Has the Speaker encountered any trouble? His usual style is not like this, isn't he quite easy-going?"

Zhirinov shrugged, "Who knows? There hasn't been any trouble in the Duma lately. He's been quite leisurely at work... Oh, I guessed it. He must be too leisurely, so he's in a bad mood. That's it. Just like when I was about to retire, I have been busy for most of my life and suddenly I have to leave my job, so I feel a little uncomfortable!"

Grazlov’s situation was still different from Zhirinov’s at that time.

Zhirinov's "retirement" happened suddenly, and many people didn't know it yet. He left the Duma.

As for Grezlov, everyone in the Duma knows that he will retire after serving this term, and everyone also knows that the person who will take over as the speaker of the next term is Mikhail the First Deputy Speaker!

 Hence, many congressmen naturally respect Wang Ye more and do not respect Gryzlov as much as before.

 After all, you are a retired person, who will rush to curry favor with you...

Gryzlov, who has always been in a high-ranking position, must have felt this atmosphere, and it’s strange that he is in a better mood...

 But the fire that was suppressed in his heart had nowhere to vent, because he knew very well that the position of Speaker of the Duma was indeed to be given up.

As the Speaker of this term, if Wang Ye really wanted to fight with him at that time, he would have no chance of winning!

Wang Ye respected him and gave him enough face, so he took the position of first deputy speaker and gave him the position of chief speaker.

At that time, Grezlov reciprocated and promised Wang Ye that the position of the next speaker would definitely belong to Wang Ye, and he would retire after completing this term.

That’s what I said, but when the real thing comes, it’s inevitable that I’ll feel a little disappointed...

 …

Wang Ye nodded and expressed understanding, but changed the topic: "The Speaker is not too old yet. Will he really retire after this term? In fact, I think even if he does not work for the Duma, he will You can change positions. After all, he has high prestige and qualifications within their faction, so it is not difficult to find a good position."

Zhirinov smiled and shook his head:

“It’s not that easy. Good positions are like carrots and pitfalls.

 Besides, he has been the Speaker for so many years, and his level is here. Even if he changes positions, there are not many suitable for him. He cannot be demoted to a lower position.

 But are there positions at the same level as Duma Speaker?

 The Kremlin counts as one, and the government barely counts. Apart from these two, what other positions can compare with his speaker.

He can’t participate in the next general election and compete for the Kremlin position, right?

Ha ha…"

Before he could finish laughing, Wang Ye said abruptly: "Why not? Who stipulates that you cannot participate in the general election if you have been the speaker?"

Zhirinov's laughter stopped suddenly. He looked at Wang Ye in astonishment, his mind a little confused.

Yes, Grezlov can indeed participate in the general election, and if you think about it carefully, he is actually very competitive!

At present, there are only two most competitive candidates, namely Meddev from the government and Moscow Governor Rosyana!

 These two are "young people", and they are considered "greenhorns" in front of Gryzlov!

If Grezlov really participated in the general election, wouldn't it be...
