Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

In the next few days, Kasyanov's matter not only did not calm down, but became an uproar.

In an exclusive interview with reporters, Kasyanov said something that caused great controversy.

He said: "Russia is on the wrong path!"

As for why he said this, he also had an explanation.

“Although in the past few years during my tenure, the economy seems to be doing well, the country’s finances have become healthier, the international debt problem has been resolved, everything seems to be looking up.

But in fact, I think the real situation is not as optimistic as everyone sees.

According to the data, it can be analyzed that the dependence of national fiscal revenue on the energy industry has become greater!

Taxes from the energy industry alone accounted for nearly 40% of the country's overall fiscal revenue last year!

This is a terrible ratio.

Because this also means that once international energy prices drop, our national fiscal revenue will drop sharply, which will also bring about a series of problems.

However, the new national pillar industries have not been effectively established..."

If we were just talking about economics, it wouldn't cause much controversy. After all, this is something that everyone can see.

But the problem is that when he talked about the issue of national system, it became very controversial.

Kasyanov said this, “The reason why our country is like this now is because there is no real separation of powers, no independent judicial system, no media freedom, and no protection of private property!

Before, the Duma was just a decoration and did not play its due role.

Of course, in recent times, the Duma has begun to get better and is slowly doing what it should do.

At this point, I think Deputy Speaker Mikhail played a big role.

Among the top leaders of Russian politics, Mikhail is also the real politician I admire the most, bar none!

Since he became the deputy speaker, he has been promoting some policies that are truly beneficial to the country and the people, and has also begun to slowly cultivate some pillar industries outside the energy industry. Unfortunately, I no longer hold a government position. Otherwise, I would have been with him. There is good cooperation..."

After the interview was aired, it caused considerable repercussions in Moscow's political circles.

Some people say Kasyanov is talking nonsense and venting his personal anger at being dismissed from his post.

Some people, however, agreed very much with what he said and believed that he was a sober politician and that he was removed from office just because he had political disagreements with the Kremlin and was suppressed in revenge...

…………

Wang Ye watched this interview immediately.

After reading it, he was also speechless.

How to put it, he could understand Kasyanov's mood.

Originally, I had been working as a general manager for four years, and my results were quite good, so I was considered conscientious.

However, he was immediately dismissed from his post with an official document from the Kremlin. It was inevitable that he was a little psychologically unbalanced, and it was understandable that he would complain.

But the problem is, you can't say these words on TV!

If you do this, wouldn't everyone know that the conflict between you and Kremlin is irreconcilable?

The Kremlin was also made disgraced and embarrassed by him.

In particular, if you want to "spray" Kegong, just go ahead and spray him, and Wang Ye won't say anything.

Don't take me with you...

He also said that he is the only "politician" he admires...

This hat is too big, Wang Ye is a little afraid to pick it up!

However, the program has already been broadcast and the impact has been caused. Wang Ye has no better way.

He could only wait and see what happens. Anyway, even if Kasyanov didn't praise himself, many people would already be dissatisfied with him.

Having already sat in this position, I can only say that it is mediocre not to be envied by others!

I have already become my own group, and I no longer need to look at anyone else's face to survive.

Those who are jealous or even jealous of themselves are those who belong to rival factions. Even if they don't cause trouble for themselves, they will "mess" with them if they have the chance.

Of course, those factions or forces that cooperate with him or are attached to him will not be affected by this interview.

…………

"Nova, please invite Deputy Speaker Zhirinov to my office...forget it, I'd better go there myself."

Wang Ye changed his mind mid-sentence.

In terms of real power, influence, and even status, Wang Ye had no problem letting Zhirinov come to his office.

But he changed his mind and planned to go to Zhirinov's office by himself.

Although this is just a small detail, Wang Ye thinks it is still necessary.

Because Zhirinov can be said to be his "old leader" and he took care of him a lot in the past. Although his status is now lower than his own, he still has to show due respect to him instead of treating him as an ordinary person. Treated like that by subordinates.

Sure enough, when Wang Ye came to Zhirinov's office, Zhirinov was very happy.

The old man came forward with a smile on his face and said cheerfully: "Misha, why are you here? If you need anything, just call me."

Wang Ye also responded with a smile: "It's nothing urgent. I remembered that I haven't been to your office for a while, so I came over to take a look."

After they both sat down, they chatted for a while, and the topic unknowingly turned to the "Kasyanov Incident" which has been quite popular in the past two days.

After all, they are both politicians, and both of them know Kasyanov. In addition, this matter has been the focus of the past few days, so it is impossible not to discuss it.

Zhirinov sighed and said in a sympathetic tone: "Hey, I understand Kasyanov. After all, I... forget it, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it. But Kasyanov It is really a pity that a person who is obviously so capable was suppressed just because of his different political views."

His words also revealed some information, that is, when he took the initiative to resign and gave up the faction leader to Wang Ye, it may not be simple behind the scenes!

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to come back, team up with Kovchenko to create a new faction, and return to the Duma.

But there were some things that he couldn't elaborate on in front of Wang Ye.

After all, when he resigned, the biggest beneficiary was Wang Ye...

Wang Ye smiled and said noncommittally: "It is indeed a pity. Kasyanov is doing well in the economy, and the government's fiscal revenue has also increased visibly in the past two years. Now that he has retired, it is said that he does not intend to hold the post again. Public office is indeed a pity.”

Zhirinov slapped the coffee table, shook his head and said:

“Who says it’s not!

Obviously there are not many economic experts in Moscow. Apart from you, Misha, I think Kasyanov is the one.

Especially in dealing with international debt, he is definitely an expert.

Since the government doesn't need him, why not turn around and drag him to the Duma side? Once he comes here, he won't have to suffer anymore. "

It could be heard that Zhirinov's words were full of emotion.

He doesn't care now and doesn't need to look at anyone's face.

As the leader of the new faction, he doesn't have many entanglements or conflicts with other major forces. As long as he doesn't want to fight for power, then of course he can be strong without desire!

Although he doesn't have much power in his hands and his influence in the Duma is mediocre, he can definitely be said to be high-spirited now and his life is much happier than before.

There is nothing others can do against him, except to drive his faction out of the Duma during the next Duma election.

There is no other way...

…………

Wang Ye had better not follow Zhirinov's words, otherwise, the old man would probably become even more unscrupulous and start attacking the Kremlin...

He seemed to ask casually: "Are you familiar with Kasyanov?"

"Of course, I went to the government a few days ago to do business, and I had dinner with Kasyanov. We discussed how the Integrity Commission supervises the work processes of government departments. He also greatly appreciated our establishment of the Integrity Commission, thinking that this is what we The Duma should do its job,” Zhirinov responded.

Now that you are familiar with it, things will be easier to handle.

Wang Ye smiled and said: "Actually, I think there is a job that is suitable for Kasyanov, but I don't know if he is interested."

"What job?" Zhirinov asked blurtly.

"National Economic Council! Isn't he good at economic work? So which agency is the most focused on economy and has the most power in the country now? It's not a government department, but the National Economic Council." Wang Ye solved the mystery with a smile.

Zhirinov thought for a moment, yes!

Although the government controls everything and seems to have great power, if it is broken down into the economic field, the recently established National Economic Council will definitely be ranked above the government.

Because this organization can gather important officials from the Duma, the Kremlin, and the government, and it also has the power to formulate corresponding regulations, coordinate resources from all parties, appoint relevant officials, allocate special funds, and lead specific projects!

If you really want to be economical, you will definitely feel at home here!

Looking at Wang Ye suspiciously, Zhirinov rolled his eyes and said slyly: "You can't... want to take advantage of Kasyanov! That's someone who has been the general L, and it's impossible for him to be willing to give You will be an assistant or something, unless you agree to give him the position of director of the committee, then that is still possible."

Wang Ye shook his head with a wry smile, spread his hands and said helplessly:

"How could I ask him to be my assistant?

However, I cannot give him the position of director. After all, without me sitting in the position of director, the work of the committee cannot proceed.

However, the position of deputy director can be given to him, and he is the executive deputy director. When I am away, he can directly exercise the power of the director! "

In order to win over Kasyanov, Wang Ye was quite willing.

National Economic Council, the position of Executive Deputy Director!

To be honest, in terms of level, it is lower than Kasyanov's previous general L position, but not too much lower.

Especially when exercising the power of the director, that is not bad.

You must know that the position of the President of the Government has "breadth" but not "depth" in power.

In other words, you can manage a little bit of everything, but you can’t make the final decision.

He has to obey the instructions of the Kremlin and accept the supervision of the Duma. Sometimes he is caught in the middle, like a doormat.

But as for the National Economic Council, as long as a few directors sit down and discuss the matter, basically no one can stop it!

Maybe Kasyanov will be more comfortable after joining the Economic Council than he was with the government.

Zhirinov stared at Wang Ye for a long time, as if he wanted to judge whether he was serious or joking.

Wang Ye looked calm, that was what he thought and said, and he was not talking nonsense.

As long as Kasyanov is willing to come, he dares to appoint Kasyanov as the executive deputy director of the National Economic Council and delegate power to him!

After a long time, Zhirinov let out a long breath and nodded: "Since you dare to use him, I am willing to help you talk about it, but I can't say whether he will agree."

Wang Ye smiled heartily and said: "Haha, if you come forward to lobby, it should be a certainty. To be honest, apart from this position, Kasyanov will not be able to find a better opportunity for a long time!"

In fact, if Kasyanov misses this opportunity, he will "disappear" from the political arena.

Because I won't give him another chance to play the "Return of the King" thing!

…………

Wang Ye also lamented that these days, there are not many people in the political arena who are actually doing things, but there are quite a few people who are making trouble!

Over there, Kasyanov had just finished doing something. When he turned around, someone was doing something again.

This time, Wang Ye can't just sit back and watch, because the person causing trouble is Du Jin, the "strategist" Rosiana has just recruited!

After receiving financial support from the Rosiana family, the Imperial Russian faction was very active during this period.

The formation of Rosiana's new faction has also gone smoothly, and a faction founding meeting has been held in Moscow. Although Wang Ye did not attend, he was also paying attention.

It is said that more than a thousand people came, and they were all relatively well-known people from various states, including grassroots officials, state legislators, and celebrities from various industries. Many people came.

Rosiana also officially announced the establishment of the new faction. She herself served as the party leader. Both Stekov and Dukin served as permanent members of the faction to assist Rosiana in managing faction affairs.

Among them, Stekov is relatively low-key, just immersing himself in work and rarely speaking to the outside world.

However, Du Jin has become the faction's "external spokesperson" and has recently been frequently interviewed by various television stations, taking the opportunity to promote the new faction's political ideas and win over voters in advance.

I have to say that he is very eloquent and really has something in his stomach.

With a thin body, a thin face, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, coupled with messy hair and a big beard, he looks like a philosopher, thinker or something...

In an exclusive interview with TV One, Dugin threw out a new concept.

"New Eurasianism"!

This concept puts forward the view of "diversified world" and believes that the center of the world is not in developed countries in Europe and the United States.

But in Eurasia, especially Russia, which spans Eurasia, is the real center of the world.

In other words, Russia seeks to become the new pole of the world!
