Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

“By the way, what are your plans after you retire?” Wang Ye asked casually.

The adoptive father sighed and said with a wry smile: "You said you are retired, what else can you do, just go and take care of your old age. I just don't know if I can adapt to being free all of a sudden after being busy for most of my life."

It can be heard that he is still a little unwilling. After all, he was born in 1952 and is only fifty-seven years old this year. He is not even sixty. He can still be regarded as a young and powerful age. He suddenly retreated. Naturally. A little uncomfortable.

Wang Ye nodded, thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I will discuss with Gryzlov and Zhirinov and ask the Duma to introduce a new bill. The content is that from now on, if the president If you are not re-elected, you can automatically obtain the status of a senator after retirement, and it will be for life, and you can work on the Federal Council.”

The foster father was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Wang Ye to make such a suggestion.

  Don’t tell me, this suggestion is really attractive to him!

You must know that Mao Zedong has a bicameral system, divided into two houses: the upper house and the lower house. The upper house is the Federal Council, which can also be called the Senate, and the lower house is the Duma!

 In name, the Upper House is more “noble” than the Lower House, but in fact it does not have as much power as the Duma…

  Just look at the scope of the so-called Federal Council of the Upper House’s powers.

 The Constitution stipulates that the Federal Council has the following powers:

  1. Confirm the boundaries between the subjects of the Russian Federation;

  2. Approval of the military and emergency orders issued by the President of the Russian Federation;

  3. Decide whether to use armed military force outside Russia’s territory;

  4. Provide for presidential election matters;

 5. Impeachment of the President (relevant procedures need to be agreed upon and promoted with the Duma);

 6. Appoint judges of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of Arbitration and the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation (nominated by the Kremlin, reviewed and approved by the Upper House).

These powers seem to be very "high", but the problem is that these powers may not be used once for many years.

After all, the practical authority of Article 6 actually has little to do with the House of Lords. Basically, who to appoint and remove is decided by the Kremlin at a glance. In the House of Lords, it is just a show of hands to vote...

But it has to be said that the status of the senators in the upper house is indeed very noble, but they are all useless.

 The reason why the adoptive father's heart is moved is not because of the senator's power, but because there is something very special about the senator!

According to the provisions of the Constitution, the personal rights of members of the Federation Council are sacred and inviolable during their term of office (see Article 98 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation), and they may not be detained, arrested, searched or privately interrogated!

 If combined with the "life-long system" mentioned by Wang Ye just now...

Basically, it means that after the adoptive father retired from the Kremlin, he automatically obtained lifelong immunity!

As long as he doesn't do anything outrageous in the future, basically no one can cause trouble for him.

Moreover, in the Federal Council, from time to time, I can give opinions and criticisms to the Kremlin, the government, and even the Dumaty. This is definitely suitable for someone like the adoptive father who suddenly retires from a high position and is not suitable for retirement life!

Although he was very moved, the adoptive father still said reservedly: "This proposal is okay, but I may not necessarily work for the Federal Council then. I may also follow your uncle Kovchenko's example and do charity work, haha ."

Wang Ye said with a smile:

“Anyway, it’s just that you have the status of a lifetime senator. It won’t affect your daily life. So let’s just say that. I will discuss it with the Duma tomorrow.

 This can be regarded as leaving a way for me in the future. After all, I will retire at some point. "

Of course, the adoptive father would no longer refuse. He nodded and said he had no objection, but he felt much more comfortable in his heart.

 After all, Wang Ye is quite good at life. He did not get carried away. Instead, he arranged the "old leaders" of each faction properly!

Speaking of Kovchenko, his adoptive father said with emotion: "Look now, your uncle is the smartest one. He figured it out early and got away in time to do what he likes. That is no better than participating in the general election and many candidates It’s much better to fight to the death!”

Wang Ye smiled and responded implicitly: "Yes, uncle, he suddenly found a career that is more suitable for him. Doing charity can make him feel more fulfilled. In fact, he originally wanted to join politics, and he also wanted to do more. Fortunately, under your leadership in the past few years, the overall development of the country has been good, so he changed his mind."

He was just complimenting his adoptive father without any trace of it. Kovchenko didn't realize how well his adoptive father had done for two consecutive terms!

The reason why I retreated so quickly was because I felt that my "nephew" Wang Ye had risen too quickly. This kid was far more suitable for politics than me, and he could be regarded as "making way" for Wang Ye.

But of course these royal affairs cannot be discussed in front of the adoptive father...

"By the way, what are your plans for Gazev? I talked with him today and I feel like he doesn't want to retire so early." The adoptive father suddenly thought of something and asked.

Wang Ye replied without hesitation: "Let him continue to hold his current position. After all, he has been working for so many years and is familiar with all affairs of the Kremlin. It is most suitable for him to help me."

 The adoptive father was a little surprised by Wang Ye's answer.

 Because the position that Gorbrev holds is a bit sensitive!

 In fact, Gebrev, the so-called "chief executive of the Kremlin", is not as simple as most people think.

His official title is "Director of the Federal Presidential Administration", and he also serves as "Chief of Staff of the Federal President"!

  He manages almost all administrative work related to the Kremlin Palace and coordinates the coordination between the Kremlin Palace and various major departments, so he is called the Chief Supervisor of the Kremlin Palace by outsiders.

Of course, those who can hold this position are without exception the most die-hard confidants of the Kremlin!

 According to the custom of one emperor and one courtier, this position should be the first one that Wang Ye needs to replace after he takes office. He should be replaced by his confidants, for example...

For a while, the adoptive father really didn't know who around Wang Ye was more qualified for this position. It seemed that Wang Ye's secretaries and assistants were all young girls, and they shouldn't be able to support such a large workload in a short time.

 Perhaps this is also the reason why Wang Ye wants Gebrev to stay in office...

However, does Wang Ye really have that much trust in Gebrev?

To this question, the adoptive father himself did not have an answer, and of course it was not easy to ask Wang Ye.

So he smiled, nodded and said: "This arrangement is very suitable. Godbrev has really worked hard over the years and has done a great job. I believe he will be able to provide you with more help in the future, so that you can adapt to this situation as soon as possible." Location."

Wang Ye’s decision to let Gebrev stay in his post was not just a whim, nor was he trying to trick his adoptive father. He really planned to do this. In a short period of time, he really couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Gorbrev to take this position. Bakova and Nova are too young. They can be assistants or secretaries and let them manage the affairs of the federal president. The Management Bureau is such a huge organization, and they are really not good at it...

Oh, the Federal Administration of Presidential Affairs has 17 secondary bureaus including the General Directorate of Asset Management, the General Directorate of Housing and Social Security, the General Directorate of Medical Management, the General Directorate of Infrastructure Management, the General Directorate of International Cooperation, the General Directorate of Public Food Management, and the Transport Bureau. Staff Thousands of people!

 Secondly, Wang Ye also has great trust in Gebrev. Over the years, Gebrev has helped him a lot and has never harmed him once.

 After he entered the Kremlin, Gebrev had no reason to betray him.

 So Wang Ye dares to let him continue to hold this key position with confidence!

 …

After finalizing the handover process arrangements with Kegong, Wang Ye became busy.

On February 6, the day after the election, he came to the Duma building and had a secret meeting with Gryzlov and Zhirinov behind closed doors.

 What the three discussed was something that outsiders had no way of knowing.

However, in the afternoon of that day, Gryzlov and Zhirinov took action separately and went to talk to the committee members and senior members separately.

On February 8, the Duma convened another general meeting, and the Legislative Committee formally proposed a supplementary bill. It was recommended that from now on, after the president retires, he will automatically enter the Federation Council and obtain the status of a lifelong senator!

This quota will not occupy the existing quota of the committee. It is a special seat because it is lifelong and completely different from ordinary members!

It can be regarded as a small "reward" for the president's great contributions to the country and the people during his several years in office...

This proposal was easily passed unanimously in the Duma. After all, it would not affect the interests of any faction, and it was not an excessive thing. After all, for presidents who normally leave office, every country in the world has this and that. It is not an exaggeration to give some extra treatment to those who receive generous treatment.

After the supplementary bill was submitted to the Upper House and the Kremlin, of course no one raised any objections. The approval was very efficient. It was passed the next day and officially came into effect.

In other words, the outgoing adoptive father will be the first person to enjoy this new law!

 …

While the Duma is pushing forward new regulations, Wang Ye is not idle either.

Since Wang Ye had resigned from all his posts in the Duma and had to hand over complicated work to his adoptive father, he simply moved to the Kremlin to work.

Of course, it was impossible for him to "occupy" his adoptive father's office for the time being, so he chose the small building of the National Economic Affairs Council as his temporary office.

The entire secretary's office also moved here, and the usually deserted small building immediately became lively.

Under Wang Ye's instructions, Nova and Bakova led a group of secretaries and began to send invitation letters to the diplomatic departments of various countries with normal relations through the diplomatic department. Maybe they may not have time to come, but the notice still needs to be notified. , otherwise it would be a loss of etiquette.

As for those dignitaries who are sure to come to support us, such as fraternal countries with good relations with neighboring countries, invitation letters will be sent directly to the individuals.

 In addition, even those respected and respected politicians in the country who have retired but are still alive must also be notified.

It can be said that it is still very troublesome, and there must be no omissions.

As for the royal relatives in Europe, Wang Ye and Rosiana jointly signed the invitation.

Normally, for the inauguration ceremony of a new president like Wang Ye, foreign dignitaries do not need to be invited. Domestic people can just enjoy it. After all, even the president of a superpower can hardly invite many foreign dignitaries to the inauguration ceremony. They are all guests from their own countries, including politicians and celebrities.

 But Wang Ye didn’t think so. It wasn’t for the sake of face or ostentation, but because he wanted to use this opportunity to make friends with as many people in power in various countries as possible, paving the way for active integration into the global society in the future.

For a behemoth like Da Mao to take off economically, it is difficult to say whether it is high or not, but certainly not low!

 It’s not that high because the land here is really vast and abundant!

Just by selling oil and natural gas and selling our own resources, we can live a very good life. After all, the population is not very large and the foundation is so good.

It is not easy to say that it is not easy. Of course, the external situation is too complicated. Even if you want to sell energy honestly, some people may look at you as "unpleasant".

 So after Wang Ye officially takes office, his first priority may not be the development of the domestic economy, but to do a good job in diplomacy and create a good external environment for Mao as much as possible!

 In fact, in this life, Wang Ye has solved the two potential crises in the previous life ahead of time, namely Crimea and Ermao. It can be said that it has greatly eased the tension between Damao and Europe and the United States.

Because as long as those conflicts that attracted global attention no longer occur, Mao will not be subject to so many "restrictions" as in the previous life, and can develop its own economy with confidence and boldness.

If Wang Ye was more "good at dancing" and handled external relations properly, he might be able to completely change some world processes in this life!

 …

With the cooperation of the diplomatic department, invitations to Wang Ye’s inauguration ceremony flew like snowflakes to all over the world.

He didn’t have to wait too long, and responses from all aspects came back quickly.

Of course, the brother countries of the China Environmental Protection Organization and the Economic Mutual Aid Organization had no objections. They all agreed to come on time to attend Wang Ye's inauguration ceremony, and the standards were of the highest standard!

Like Ermao's side, all the "Troika" were dispatched to come together to support Wang Ye.

This was something Wang Ye expected, so he was not surprised.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Wang Ye, with the cooperation of the Kremlin Palace, began to gradually take over various affairs and powers.

 During this period, the whole of Moscow was very peaceful and festive, and everyone was waiting for Wang Ye's inauguration ceremony.

Of course, since the Duma is facing a new election, various factions have also begun to get busy. The propaganda offensive has been launched, and those members who hope to stay in office have also gone to their own constituencies to conduct roadshows and publicity.
