Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

  Chapter 945 Polar Reversal

  Standing by the small podium, Dania took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.

  It was the first time for her to speak on such an occasion, especially the distinguished Duma MPs sitting on the stage...

  But she didn't have stage fright. The bigger the scene, the more calm she became, and even a little excited.

  Maybe this is also born, born suitable for big scenes...

   Turned around and bowed to the four speakers on the rostrum, and then bowed to the members of the audience, and then Dania began her own narration.

  As a representative of the joint working group, the main content of what she said today is naturally why the removal of Luzhkov was initiated, what were the specific reasons, and the necessity of this removal procedure.

  About Luzhkov’s suspected crimes, Dania didn’t make it too clear, but only mentioned “corruption, forming a party for personal gain”, which completely failed the trust and expectations of the voters in him!

   Then she described in detail that under the leadership of Luzhkov, the development of Moscow in these years seems to be not slow on the surface, but in fact it is seriously inconsistent with the resource tilt given to Moscow by the state!

   In other words, the development of Moscow should have been much better than it is now!

  So, the re-election of Luzhkov's governor in these years not only failed to make any real political achievements, but hindered the development of Moscow...

   This is not off topic, but her joint working group, although it was established because of several reporting letters.

  But when it was established, the powers and responsibilities assigned by Wang Ye to this joint team were not limited to corruption investigations, but also included due diligence on the entire Moscow state bureaucracy. Otherwise, there would be no need to bring in so many departments to form a joint team.

  The Duma originally also had the duty of supervising the work of government departments.

  The state government, that is also part of the government agency...

  Of course, the reason why Danya talked so much about how Luzhkov hindered the development of Moscow State was to win the support of the members of the audience.

  At the same time, she knew very well that her speech was just a formality, and it was almost impossible to affect the voting results, because the real voting results might have been determined before the meeting started!

  The contest in the audience should have already been decided. Today's vote is just to show the result.

   I just don’t know whether my boss is really sure, or whether he doesn’t care about the result at all.

  ...

After Dania spoke, Gryzlov didn't waste any time, turned sideways and whispered to the deputy speakers of Wang Ye. If the deputy speakers had nothing to add, the voting would begin immediately. Anyway, he himself There is nothing more to say.

Before Wang Ye could speak, Konov said first: "I have a proposal. In order to make all the members take this vote seriously, we will vote in order according to the seat area. First, the first district will vote, and the results will be counted. Then start the second, third, fourth..."

  In fact, Konov’s original intention was to vote separately by faction!

Because in the Duma Hall, there are a total of four major areas. The first area is full of MPs from the Kraveko Group, the second area is full of MPs from the Wangye faction, and the third faction is naturally the MPs from Zhirinov’s faction. up.

  The Moscow faction and members of the remaining small factions are sitting in the seats of the fourth district!

  So, hearing Konov's proposal, Gryzlov was obviously taken aback, and then his face became gloomy.

  Obviously, he also roughly guessed why Konov made such a proposal.

   It is obvious that this guy has taken care of some of the members of the Kravico Group. Now let the members of the Kravico Group vote first, just to let everyone see clearly. This is also making yourself look ugly!

   Grezlov also knew about Konov’s meeting with the core members of his faction yesterday, but he didn’t ask those members in private what he had talked with Konov about.

  Because there is no need to ask, you know what was discussed, but whether those congressmen have reached an agreement with Konov, this question cannot be asked!

   After all, what happened this time has nothing to do with the Hilavik Group, but a struggle between Mikhail and the Moscow faction.

  Even if I have a good personal relationship with Mikhail, I can only support him personally, and I cannot let all the members of the faction follow me to support Mikhail.

   After all, the Hilavik Group is very powerful, but the faction is also very complicated. No one can fully control this huge power. Even the current Kremlin is just a representative of this interest group...

  ...

   Gryzlov looked at Wang Ye, wanting him to express his thoughts, whether he agrees with Konov's proposal.

  Wang Ye looked calm, nodded slightly and said: "I have no objection."

   Zhirinov frowned, but didn't say anything.

  Since even Wang Ye did not object, Gryzlov has no reason to object, so he nodded and said to Konov: "Then do as you say!"

   Sounded the gavel in his hand again, Gryzlov solemnly announced the voting rules, and reminded the members of the audience, please be careful with the votes in your hands!

   "Next, please cast your votes, members of the First District!"

  Accompanied by Gryzlov's loud announcement, all the people in the hall focused their eyes on the members of the first district.

   There are obviously no fools who can sit in this hall.

   It is almost an "open secret" what Konov did behind the scenes, and most of the congressmen have already heard about it.

  Everyone is also very curious about what price the Moscow faction will pay this time to "buy" the votes of the members of the Kravik Group.

   Moreover, will these Kraviko Group members turn their heads to support Luzhkov, an old enemy, for the benefits promised by Konov...

  Actually, before each Duma vote, there will be a "lobbying" link. It is nothing more than interested parties going to various influential senior congressmen in private, and exchanging interests for the votes in their hands.

   This is nothing new.

   This time is no exception, Konov is also familiar with the activities in advance.

   It’s just because the matter this time is more important, and it involves Mikhail and Luzhkov, two top leaders in the political arena!

  That's why it seems so sensitive...

  ...

  The members of the Hillavik Group sitting in the first district looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect that today's voting rules would be like this.

  However, there is no precedent for the removal of the governor, so it is nothing to change the voting rules.

  Since Gryzlov has announced this, he can only vote in this way, and it is impossible to make any changes.

  Because this kind of voting is a real-name system, that is, voting machines are not allowed, but directly raise hands with those who approve, and then the clerk will record all the votes.

   To be honest, being watched by so many people, it is quite difficult to make an open choice.

  Especially when their Hiravik Group and the Moscow faction have always been regarded as deadly enemies in the past...

   "Members who are in favor of the removal of Governor Luzhkov, please raise your hands!" The clerk reminded.

  The councilors in the first district looked at me and I looked at you, all with the meaning of consulting in their eyes, obviously no one wanted to take the lead.

   "Those who agree, please raise your hand!" The clerk reminded again.

  Finally the first person raised his hand, then the second, the third...

  Hand raised means in favor of the removal of Luzhkov!

   There is no need for statistics, as long as you look at it casually, you can see that the number of congressmen who raised their hands is not too many, it can even be said to be very few!

  The meeting hall suddenly became a little noisy, and the councilors in the other three areas saw this scene in the first area, and all whispered.

   You know, the Hilavik Group is the number one faction in the Duma, with 155 seats!

  Roughly counting now, there are no more than fifteen congressmen who raised their hands!

   Isn't it true that there are more than 140 members of parliament who oppose the removal of Luzhkov!

  According to the rules, as long as the number of opposing congressmen reaches 180, the recall procedure will be terminated and declared a failure!

  The Moscow faction itself still has 60 seats and has not yet started voting. With the 60 votes, wouldn’t it mean that the number of opponents has reached more than 200...

  Many congressmen turned their eyes to the rostrum, and the faces of the four speakers were all different.

   Gryzlov’s face was ashen. Before the vote, he knew that some members would choose to oppose the removal of Luzhkov. Because Konov did a lot of work yesterday, he should have promised a lot of benefits.

  But he never expected that so many MPs in his faction would make such a choice!

  This nature is different!

  Because as many as more than 140 people chose to oppose the removal of Luzhkov, this basically announced the result of today's vote, and the Moscow faction won!

   Mikhail's failure is a small matter, but his own faction's embarrassment is a big problem!

   It is estimated that after today, not only Mikhail will bear the consequences of losing the vote, but even his own faction will become a joke among everyone.

  For a little benefit, so many congressmen openly "turned their backs" and defended their old enemy Luzhkov, what is all this...

  ...

  Konov couldn't help but smile on his face.

  His efforts were not in vain!

   Luzhkov's money was not in vain...

  The reason why he proposed such a voting method just now is to give everyone a little shock!

  This is the first faction in the Duma, this is the Kravico Group, and this is the old enemy of the Moscow faction.

   As a result, in the face of interests, there are still so many congressmen who have made choices that make everyone feel incredible!

   One hundred and forty votes!

  Adding 60 votes from his own faction, he won today's vote firmly.

  As for the factions of Mikhail and Zhirinov, to be honest, it doesn’t matter whether they vote or not now, because it is impossible to get dozens of votes out of thin air!

  The result is doomed, haha...

  Zhirinov frowned. He was quite surprised, and he obviously didn't expect that so many people from the first faction would choose to defect and support Luzhkov.

  He looked at Wang Ye with doubts and a hint of blame in his eyes.

   Is this kid too underestimating the enemy, did he not prepare in advance for such an important matter?

  It’s all right now, the voting is basically over, and the consequences of failure, I don’t know if he can bear it...

  From the beginning of the meeting to now, Wang Ye’s expression on his face has not changed, with a smile on his face, looking very relaxed.

   Even after such an astonishing scene now, he still hasn't changed much.

   Among other things, this demeanor and psychological quality alone convinced many congressmen!

  Because if they were Wang Ye, how could they be able to sit still in the face of the coming fiasco...

  ...

   On this occasion, Gryzlov couldn't say anything, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to announce that the members of the second district began to vote.

  The seats in this area are all people from the Wangye faction, one hundred and fifty members of parliament.

   Fortunately, there was no surprise. All the members of the second district raised their hands in unison, expressing their support for the removal of Luzhkov!

  Now the number of votes in favor is 150+15=165 votes, while the number of votes against is 140 votes, which is almost the same.

  Then the third district began to vote, here are the members of Zhirinov's faction.

Although not as fast as Wang Ye's faction raised their hands, all the congressmen still raised their arms, expressing their support for the removal of Luzhkov, which also eased Zhirinov's face, because it shows that there is no "" Inner ghost"!

   The Zhirinov faction has a total of 80 votes. With these votes, the total number of votes in favor has reached 245!

   Temporarily throw off the number of negative votes.

   But Konov's face was normal, and he didn't panic at all, because the Moscow faction would vote next.

  As long as the sixty negative votes are securely obtained, the voting will be over!

   No, there is no need for as many as sixty votes, as long as there are another forty votes, that is enough!

   To be honest, Mikhail has been too calm for the past two days, a little abnormally calm...

  So Konov wondered if he had any backhands, did he buy some members of his own faction?

   It is possible!

   But even if he bought it, so what, can he still directly buy more than half of the members' votes...

   That would be outrageous, almost impossible!

  ...

   Without giving Konov much time to think, Gryzlov has already announced that voting in the fourth region will begin.

Members of the five small factions raised their hands first. They moved closer to Mikhail. Even if the current situation is not good for Mikhail, they have no other choice but to bite the bullet and choose to continue to support Mikhail. Speaker Il!

  The remaining 60 members of the Moscow faction, you look at me, I look at you, everyone's eyes are a little erratic, but no one raised their hands.

   Just when Konov thought the dust had settled and he had won, the situation on the field changed!

   "Please raise your hand if you are in favor of the removal of Luzhkov!"

  Accompanied by the clerk's last reminder, a member of the Moscow faction suddenly raised his hand.

  The member raised his hand as if it was a signal, the second, the third...

  Members of the Moscow faction raised their arms one by one!

   There was an uproar!

   Today's vote was full of drama, and there was a two-stage reversal!

   The first faction that was supposed to support the removal of Luzhkov, but most of them chose to oppose it, die Paul Luzhkov!

   What everyone didn't expect was that at the most critical moment, the members of the Moscow faction chose to collectively betray the faction and abandoned the core figure of the faction - Luzhkov!

   This turn of events left the three speakers sitting on the rostrum dumbfounded except for Wang Ye!

  Especially Konov, he couldn't help standing up, with anger in his eyes, and tremblingly stretched out his fingers to those congressmen who raised their hands...
