Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Chapter 1106 Shooting Incident

　I didn’t talk much about the topic, and watched the atmosphere become more and more tense. This was not in line with the purpose of inviting two people to dinner today.

 So, even though Gryzlov retorted, the adoptive father still smiled and relaxed the atmosphere.

He said: "That's true. In fact, not only you and Meddev are very happy to work with Misha, but also me. This guy has helped me solve a lot of difficult problems. I really want to say Get up, how do I feel that it doesn’t matter who is sitting in my position, as long as Misha is there..."

 Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, as if he had some realization.

 Meddev and Gryzlov also looked at each other, picked up the knife and fork at the same time in a tacit understanding, and started eating.

 Because after the three people discussed for a long time, they suddenly discovered that it didn't seem to matter who was sitting in the Kremlin Palace, because the most critical person in Moscow's political arena has now become Mikhail!

 As long as Mikhail is here, no matter who wins this election, it will not have much impact on the development of the country...

　It’s quite ironic when you look at it this way.

The most crucial person did not participate in the general election, and those who fought to the death could not affect the overall situation at all...

Of course, although they are aware of this fact, Meddev and Grezlov have not given up the idea of ​​​​election. After all, they have already been unable to help themselves until now. The election is not only related to their political future, but also It is also related to the future of the large number of people behind them who support them!

If they suddenly say that they want to give up now, it will basically be equivalent to completely ruining their political career, and they may even be retaliated by those who originally supported them...

 …

After finishing the meal without any taste, Gryzlov stood up and left, but Meddev stayed. He still wanted to talk to his adoptive father and Gazev about some things.

 Obviously, the three of them are standing together, while Grezlov is standing opposite them.

Looking at Gryzlov's leaving figure, Meddev's face was gloomy, and he said angrily:

"unacceptable!

Grazlov doesn't even listen to you now. Does he really think that after being the Speaker of the Duma for a few years, he can really be equal to you in the faction?

Looking at the seats in the Duma this term, our faction originally had all the advantages in the Duma, but in the end, he lost them all.

 Such a mediocre person, if he really wins the general election, then I am really worried about the future development of the country..."

Although these remarks are complaints, they also truthfully reflect the views of Meddev, the Kremlin and some people in the Shilavik Group. Otherwise, even with the support of the Kremlin, Meddev would not be qualified to compete with Gray. Zlov competes.

 After all, their qualifications, connections, and status within the faction are all very different!

Grazlov is one of the giants in Moscow politics, and has been one of the top people for more than ten years. As for Meddev, who knew him a few years ago...

It is because Gryzlov lost too many seats in the last Duma election, which resulted in this Duma being firmly controlled by Wang Ye, so some people within the Shilavik Group were quite vocal about this, thinking that It's Grezlov who is too incompetent.

 Therefore, when the Kremlin proposed Meddev as a candidate to represent the faction during this election, there was not much opposition.

Even Grezlov participated in the general election and has been working together privately for so long. He is evenly matched with Meddev. Even within the faction, his number of supporters is not as high as Meddev's.

Otherwise, his poll support rate would not be tied with Meddev. Don't forget, there is also Zhirinov's faction on Gryzlov's side who is joining forces with him to run for office. Their influence is Not too small either.

In other words, Meddev has the support of most of the members of the Shilavik Group and the support of the Kremlin, while Gryzlov has the support of a small half of the members of the Shilavik Group and the full support of the Zhirinov faction. In this way, the two sides ended up in a tie.

As for Rosiana, she has her own royalists, old and new Moscow factions, family influence, and some members of the Wangye faction. It can be said that the factions supporting her are relatively complicated. Together, these are currently able to compete with Medje. The husband and Gryzlov fought against each other.

　　After hearing Meddev’s complaint, the adoptive father smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything.

Gebrev sighed and responded: "What can be done? Our faction was originally a merger of several parties. It was originally to win the election, so we could unite as one. Now we are in power. In the past ten years, everyone is no longer what they were before, and each has its own interests and demands, so it is difficult to unite everyone again."

 In fact, to put it simply, “it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it”!

  When several factions jointly formed the Shilawik Group at the beginning, everyone was "poor and ignorant", and their biggest desire was naturally to win the election and become the ruling party.

 That’s why we can get rid of some discordant voices internally, unite and twist into one, and act in unison to the outside world.

  But now, each faction within the faction has "occupied" some important positions and each has its own ideas. Some vested interests will firmly follow the Kremlin and support the candidates proposed by the Kremlin.

 While another group of people who are not satisfied with the status quo choose to support Gryzlov, because they understand that choosing to support Meddev is just the icing on the cake, while supporting Gryzlov is providing help in a timely manner!

  Anyway, you support whoever you support, so why not choose a candidate who can bring you greater benefits after winning the election...

Meddev patted the dining table and gritted his teeth and said: "It's a mess! I think it's time for our faction to be cleansed and integrated. Those who only care about their own interests and ignore the interests of the faction should no longer be retained!"

The adoptive father felt the same way and nodded slightly, but he had no time to do this.

Although he was re-elected for two terms, due to his weak foundation and the country's internal and external difficulties in the past few years, all aspects were in chaos. Therefore, he had no energy to sort out the faction's internal affairs. Of course, he did not dare to easily disturb the faction's internal affairs. After all, he had to rely on They use the support of factions to deal with "foreign enemies".

The situation has been eased in the past few years. The economy has developed very well and a new world has been opened in diplomacy. It is supposed to be the time when he can flex his muscles to rectify the factions, but unfortunately his term has expired...

The reason why he chose to push out his "junior brother" Meddev was to prepare himself for running for election again in a few years, because he felt that he still had many things that he had not yet had time to do!

Meddev is considered a transitional person, so he does not allow anyone to disrupt his plan, not even Grezlov!

 …

While Meddev and the three of them were still discussing how to rectify the faction, Gryzlov's car had already left the Kremlin Palace and was driving along the long street in the direction of his home.

Since he was coming to the Kremlin Palace for a banquet tonight, he did not bring any security personnel with him. Only a driver and an assistant were in the car.

 It was getting late now, and it was snowing heavily today and it was cold, so there were not many vehicles on the road, and almost no pedestrians could be seen. The dim street lights illuminated the heavy snowflakes flying in the sky. There was a vast expanse of white everywhere, and a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the road.

 Because the road surface was a bit slippery, the driver did not drive very fast.

Grazlov leaned back on the backrest of the rear seat and closed his eyes to meditate. The scene from the meal was still swirling in his mind. He knew very well that he would not be able to get any help from the Kremlin.

 Including today's dinner, the purpose is to persuade myself to give up the election and support Meddev instead.

 But why?

 I have been in politics for decades, and it can be said that it has been a smooth journey. I even had the opportunity to aspire for the highest position. Unfortunately, the person did not choose me at that time, but chose the unknown current Kremlin.

For the sake of the overall interests of the faction, I have also endured the humiliation and tried my best to cooperate with his work, and have been conscientiously safeguarding the interests of the faction.

Now that he is about to retire, he actually wants to promote another "little kid" whose qualifications are completely inferior to his own. This makes Gryzlov unbearable.

He didn't participate in the general election at first, just because Gryzlov also understood that his influence in the faction has been declining in recent years. On his own, even if he participated in the general election, he would not be able to win over enough people to support him. .

However, Zhirinov's joining changed everything. He finally had the confidence to stand up, and many members of the faction believed that they did have hope of hitting that position, so they chose to support themselves.

Now that the general election is about to officially begin, his support rate is about the same as that of Meddev and Rosiana, but Gryzlov believes that as long as this situation can be maintained, he will be the ultimate winner!

You must know that there is still a silent majority in society. They may not make much noise in ordinary times and just immerse themselves in work and live a down-to-earth life. But when it comes to voting in elections, they will be more inclined to choose themselves who have sufficient qualifications and high reputation!

 After all, I have not been the Speaker for so many years for nothing...

Furthermore, Zhirinov also promised himself that Hovchenko would also provide him with strong financial support!

Perhaps I can't compare to Rosiana in terms of campaign funds. After all, she comes from a wealthy family and has a good husband...

 But there is absolutely no problem in overpowering Meddev.

 …

Gryzlov, who was full of random thoughts, suddenly heard a dull sound of "boom boom boom...", and then the car suddenly jumped forward, throwing his whole body onto the backrest, almost touching his neck.

Before I could even react and ask what happened, I heard the assistant in the front row exclaimed.

 “Speaker, there are gunmen...”

Just when he exclaimed, there was another violent sound from the rear window of the car, as if many small stones were hitting the rear window glass at high speed.

Gryzlov turned around and saw through the rear window a Lada chasing his car. Two men with black hoods leaned out of the car window, each holding a child. He fired an AK rifle at his car.

 But why was my car window not shot through...

Grazlov suddenly remembered that he had just replaced a bulletproof vehicle some time ago, and it was given to him by Mikhail.

 Luckily, I changed to this car. If I was still driving the ordinary Range Rover, wouldn't I have to explain myself here today...

The power of the big Land Rover is still very strong, and the driver almost stepped on the accelerator into the engine, so the black Range Rover galloped forward on the empty street like a giant beast. The car behind must have poor power, and was A distance away.

Coupled with this burst of gunshots, the noise was very loud. It must have attracted the attention of the police patrolling not far away. Sirens were already sounding and heading this way.

So the car the gunman was riding in couldn't do anything about it, made a decisive turn, gave up the pursuit, and got into a small alley.

Seeing that he was safe, Gryzlov was frightened for a moment, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Who is this!

 Want to take your own life...

 …

The news of Grezlov being shot spread throughout Moscow in an instant, as if he had wings!

Wang Ye received the news immediately. It was a phone call from Gryzlov himself. When the call was made, Gryzlov was still in the car.

“Misha, I just met a gunman on the road when I was about to go home. Fortunately, you gave me this bulletproof car. Otherwise, I might not have the chance to make this call to you..."

 As he said that, Gryzlov was frightened again.

Wang Ye was quite shocked when he heard this. Although he had encountered more dangerous things than this on more than one occasion, Gryzlov was different from him.

This is a well-known "good old man" in the political arena. He usually has no hatred against others. How could he suddenly be shot...

 He quickly asked: "Is the Speaker injured? What's the situation now?"

"It's okay. This car is really strong. The glass is not broken, haha. I have asked my assistant to call the police. Now I am going to go directly to the city bureau to call the police. Many police cars nearby are rushing here. There should be nothing wrong next. But I still haven’t figured out who wants my life!” As he spoke, Gryzlov gritted his teeth.

Wang Ye frowned and thought for a while, then said simply: "In this case, you go to the city bureau first, and I will go there later, and we will meet and chat. The most important thing is to ensure your safety, and then to catch the gunman. As long as we can catch When someone gets there, the whole thing will come to light.”

 …

After putting down the phone, Wang Ye put on his clothes and ordered his motorcade to prepare immediately and set off for the city bureau!

Due to the assassination of Gryzlov, Wang Ye became more cautious and brought two more security vehicles. There were more than a dozen large Land Rovers, and there were more than 40 security personnel alone...

With this lineup, no one would dare to come up with his idea at all!
