Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Zhirinov felt that his mind was in a mess. On the one hand, he thought that there was no way Grezlov could participate in the general election. That was outrageous no matter how he looked at it!

But on the other hand, he also felt that what Wang Ye said seemed quite reasonable. In the general election at the end of the year, if Gryzlov stepped forward to run for office, he would still be very competitive...

  After all, in the current Moscow political arena, there are only two people who can stabilize Gryzlov, and that is the current Kremlin and Wangye.

 The current Kremlin has expired for two consecutive terms and is not eligible to participate in the next general election.

Wang Ye has already stated that he will not participate in the general election and will only stay in the Duma to compete for the position of Speaker of the Duma.

 The two strongest opponents do not participate in the general election, so obviously no one can compete with Gryzlov!

 In this case, why doesn’t Grezlov go to the general election? Does he not want to...

Zhirinov suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He seemed to have thought of why Gryzlov had not considered participating in the general election, and blurted out:

“He does have qualifications and prestige, but will their faction support him?

Looking at the current situation, it seems that the Silavik Group has reached a consensus to push Meddev.

By the way, your fiancée seems to be in trouble too. If you don’t directly come to help her, she really can’t compete with Meddev! "

I have to say that Zhirinov’s vision is quite vicious, and he can see the problem at a glance.

It is indeed difficult for Gryzlov to gain support within the Shilavik Group. After all, their factions are divided into several major factions. The more powerful ones include the Petersburg faction, the military faction, the old KGB faction, and the Police Court faction. One faction.

Of course, the members of the Duma side are also indispensable.

What Grezlov can really influence is the factional members of the Duma, not all members...

In the last Duma election, their faction encountered Waterloo and lost many Duma seats, which may have also affected Gryzlov's prestige within their faction.

 Hence, within the Silavik Group, his influence should be far less than that of the Kremlin...

 In addition, he is not a direct descendant of the Kremlin. In the past, he was even on an equal footing with the Kremlin. Therefore, when the Kremlin chose his successor, Gryzlov would certainly not be considered.

 If you think about it this way, all your doubts will be solved.

To briefly summarize, the main reason why the current situation is so chaotic is naturally the general election at the end of the year.

There are currently two most competitive candidates:

The Kremlin has made it clear that it wants to keep Meddev in power, and there is currently no opposition voice within the entire Shilavik Group. It is not yet known whether an agreement has been reached, or whether it is just being suppressed by the Kremlin. Opposing voices.

Rosiana is a representative figure of the emerging royalist forces. She is very popular. She also serves as the governor of Moscow. She is also a high-ranking figure and has strong competitiveness.

In addition to the two of them, there were several other politicians who threatened to participate in the general election, but it was basically impossible for those people to win, and they were simply ignored by everyone.

In addition, there are several people who are capable of participating in the general election, and can even be said to be very competitive. However, due to some other factors, they have not participated in the general election, or have stated that they will not participate in the general election.

 Among them, Wang Ye, Gryzlov, Shaoyigu, Korokoli, Zhirinov, and Gebrev are included.

If we break it down further among these people, Grezlov is the one who is fully capable of attacking that position, but is limited by various objective conditions and is unable or inconvenient to participate in the general election.

 So his mood is understandable, he feels uncomfortable...

 …

Wang Ye smiled faintly and said sincerely: "Uncle Zhirinov, I want to ask you to do me a favor, can you?"

His current position is much higher than that of Zhirinov, but when Wang Ye calls out "Uncle Zhirinov", it means that he is speaking in a private capacity, which directly brings the relationship between the two closer. , because when Wang Ye first became a junior member of the parliament, Zhirinov was his immediate boss and took great care of Wang Ye.

When having private dinner parties, Wang Ye would always call him "Uncle Zhirinov", which seemed closer to him.

Sure enough, when he heard Wang Ye call him that, Zhirinov felt warm in his heart and blurted out: "Of course!"

Perhaps feeling that he agreed too readily, Zhirinov quickly added: "As long as it is within my ability."

Similarly, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if Wang Ye mentioned something that he couldn't do and he agreed so readily, but couldn't really help?

Wang Ye nodded, "Of course it won't be something beyond your ability. So, didn't we just talk about Speaker Gryzlov?

I suddenly thought, what would happen if you support him in the general election at the end of the year? "

Zhirinov was stunned for a moment. He thought Wang Ye wanted him to help, but in the end he was asked to help the old guy Gryzlov?

 Why not help Rosiana?

This matter is making him more and more confused!

　　“This…it’s not impossible to support him in participating in the general election…!

But why? "

Zhirinov said hesitantly.

If it were another person, Wang Ye might not be willing to explain it too clearly, but he is still more trustworthy to Zhirinov.

  explained it truthfully:

“Because if you want to help Rosiana, it would be better for me, or the people on our side, not to directly help her, because that will easily lead to conflicts.

  It means that we are on the opposite side of the entire Shilawik Group.

 We usually get along well with each other, but if the relationship breaks down because of this election, no one would want to see it.

 Even more seriously, when we have a conflict with the Shilawik Group, it will be very detrimental to the development of the country!

 Hence, more clever methods are needed.

For example, if Gryzlov is encouraged to participate in the general election and cause chaos within their faction, wouldn't this be equivalent to weakening Meddev's competitiveness?

 The competitors have become weaker, can it also be regarded as Rosiana becoming stronger? "

Zhirinov was shocked after hearing this. He really didn't expect Wang Ye to come up with such a solution.

Indeed, as Wang Ye said, if Wang Ye himself came forward to help Rosiana go to the platform and help her win the election, wouldn't it be a battle with the Kremlin?

Originally, Wang Ye had a very good relationship with the Kremlin, as well as the representatives of several major factions of the Shilavik Group. Shao Yigu, Korokoli and Meddev could be considered relatively "iron"!

 It is not easy to manage such a network of contacts. If these connections are directly destroyed because of the general election, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss!

 Not to mention the bad consequences of a stalemate in relations with the Kremlin...

It can even be said that even if Wang Ye personally comes to help Rosiana, as long as the Shilavik Group can unite to support Meddev, Rosiana's chances of winning are not high, or even very low!

Since this road doesn't work and he doesn't want to, Wang Ye will find another way.

He came up with the idea of ​​encouraging Gryzlov to participate in the general election and "disintegrate" the huge Shilavik group from within, so that this huge faction would split into two parts. One group would continue to support Meddev, and the other would Many people began to support Gryzlov...

 What will happen then?

 It is the tripartite trio of Meddev, Grezlov and Rosiana!

The Silavik Group, which was originally the most powerful, was split into two parts, consuming part of its energy. However, Rosiana's faction had no one to compete with her, so she could retain her full strength to deal with it.

 As a result, she, who was originally at a disadvantage in the general election competition, suddenly became the dominant party.

As for Meddev, who is about to win firmly, he will have to face a strong challenge from Gryzlov. Let alone the general election, he must first ensure that he gets enough support within the faction!

As for the Kremlin, when Gryzlov stood up to participate in the general election, did the Kremlin still dare to stand firmly on Meddev's side...

Wang Ye’s strategy this time is that if Hard Steel is no match for the “enemy”, then help the “enemy” find a comparable opponent!

 …

But understanding is understanding, and Zhirinov is still confused about how to do it.

He frowned and asked: "Then what do I need to do? Should I just go and tell Grezlov that he should participate in the general election? What if he refuses directly..."

Wang Ye smiled and said unhurriedly:

“Of course it’s not that simple. The reason why he didn’t participate in the general election, or maybe he thought about it privately, but he denied it himself. What’s the reason?

I think the most critical reason is that Grezlov thinks that even if he participates in the general election, he has little chance of winning!

Since there is not much hope, then don’t go into this muddy water and still retain your dignity.

 But what if we could give him a hope of winning the election? "

 Note that Wang Ye said he gave Gryzlov a "hope", not a "guarantee"!

 The difference between the two is huge.

 Give hope, that is, it can make Grezlov ready to make a move, thinking that he also has a chance to win the election, and is willing to give it a try!

 But no one can say what the final result will be, even if it fails, it is normal.

 After all, this is a general election. No one can guarantee that he will win 100%. There are too many unexpected factors. Even if Wang Ye participates in person, the boat may capsize in the gutter.

  But if it is guaranteed, it basically binds Wang Ye, Zhirinov and Gryzlov together, and everyone has to bear the consequences of failure together. Of course Wang Ye is not willing...

 …

 “Hope of winning the election?

How can this be!

How can we give him hope? It’s the general election..."

Zhirinov spread his hands helplessly and said.

Similarly, if Wang Ye or himself is really sure to win the election, why bother making it so complicated? Just let Rosiana, or...

Wouldn’t it be great if Zhirinov himself participated in the general election?

Although Zhirinov has never thought about entering the Kremlin Palace, if this opportunity really comes to him and does not require paying too much price, of course he will "duly refuse"!

 Wang Ye has long been mentally prepared for this problem.

“Although Grazlo has lost some ground within the Shilavik Group, given his qualifications and prestige, there must still be a group of people supporting him.

 Especially when there is hope that he will rise again and even reach the next level. "

Zhirinov nodded, this is natural.

 Wang Ye continued:

“Of course, if you want Gryzlov to show a certain degree of victory, two problems must be solved first.

 The first one is to convince him and give him the confidence to challenge the general election.

 The second one is that he cannot be allowed to fight alone. He will definitely not be able to support the situation by himself. There must be another force to support him..."

Zhirinov suddenly woke up. The emotional king was waiting for him here. No wonder he said so solemnly just now that he wanted to ask for his help.

 Indeed, only I can be busy with this task...

 At this moment, he finally understood Wang Ye's operating ideas.

That was because it was not convenient for Wang Ye to come forward, but he asked Zhirinov to come forward to do this and persuade Gryzlov to "come out" to participate in the general election.

Furthermore, Zhirinov will also promise Grezlov that their entire faction will support Grezlov’s election!

Although the faction led by Zhirinov only ranks third in the Duma, it is a force that cannot be underestimated, especially at this sensitive moment.

 With the support of their power, Grezlov will have enough courage to participate in the general election.

After all, Grezlov can still win over some people from within the Shilavik Group to support him!

 In comparison, Meddev only has the support of some people within the faction, and is at a disadvantage compared to Gryzlov!

 …

Seeing that Zhirinov had some enlightenment, Wang Ye struck while the iron was hot:

“You can tell him then that you want to join forces with him and join forces to participate in the general election.

 After winning the election, he goes to the Kremlin and you go to the government. Isn’t this the best of both worlds? "

To be honest, after hearing Wang Ye’s plan, Zhirinov was a little excited.

 He even wanted to "fake it for real" and really join forces with Gryzlov for a big fight!

But he also understood in his heart that since Wang Ye came up with this plan, he must have a back-up plan. No matter how great Gryzlov's advantage was before or during the election, the final result would not let Gryzlov My husband got his wish!

 Because Wang Ye pushed Gryzlov out just to "snipe" Meddev, but he didn't really want him to win the election...

Thinking of this, Zhirinov nodded heavily, "Okay! Then I will find an opportunity to have a good talk with Grezlov in the next two days. To be honest, I also want to see how lively this year's election will be..."
