Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Wang Ye came here today to teach Rosiana a lesson.

Let her understand how to truly control a faction and how to be a real "superior"!

With Rosiana's intelligence, she could understand these things with just a little guidance.

Of course, if you want to be proficient in applying it, you need more practice.

Fortunately, Rosiana basically had unconditional trust in Wang Ye, and she never doubted what Wang Ye said to her.

After a long conversation, Rosiana already had a plan in mind.

In the next period of time, what she has to do is no longer blindly expand the size of the faction, but to unify her thoughts internally.

Du Jin and the others must be restrained to a certain extent, so that they cannot continue to speak nonsense outside...

Because just now Wang Ye had bluntly told Rosiana that the Kremlin was also paying close attention to the Du Jin interview.

What does it mean?

Obviously, it's not appreciation, but dissatisfaction!

And Wang Ye came here specifically to say those words to her today, which in itself represents Wang Ye's attitude.

Wang Ye was also dissatisfied with Du Jin.

Because Du Jin’s words are just for talking within the faction, but if they are said on national television, then they have crossed the line!

To put it bluntly, it is not Dugin’s turn to dictate such major matters related to national strategy!

Of course, Dugin has the right to express his thoughts.

But the premise is that it cannot affect the country's image or affect diplomatic relations. Now it has obviously had a negative impact.

That's why the Kremlin expressed its dissatisfaction in a subtle way.

This is Rosiana. If it were someone else, it would probably not be as simple as expressing dissatisfaction...

After the business talk is over, the next step is private time.

The two hadn't seen each other for several days, and the noise was a bit loud, even Tesova who was working outside heard it...

She quickly stood up and closed the door to the outer office, and specifically asked a young assistant to guard the door and not let anyone in.

If anyone comes to see Rosiana, just say that they are dealing with important business and are temporarily unavailable!

…………

On November 1, the Kremlin officially announced the nomination of Meddev as the new government prime minister!

After the nomination is announced, according to the procedure, it goes to the Duma Congress for a plenary vote.

As long as the number of votes exceeds 50%, it will be passed and Meddev will become the new Prime Minister.

This choice caused an uproar in Moscow's political circles. Not to mention other factions, even many people in Meddev's first faction said they could not understand it.

Because this Meddev is too junior!

Before his nomination, he was only the general manager of Gazprom.

Oh, and he also has the title of deputy director of the National Economic Council.

But this is a bit far from Z theory...

Even Gryzlov expressed his dissatisfaction to Wang Ye.

In Wang Ye's office, Gryzlov was a little excited, waving his arms and complaining:

“I really don’t know what Komiya and the others are thinking!

Why should a young boy like Meddev be allowed to take up such an important position? There are so many candidates with more senior qualifications and more political experience in the faction who are still waiting for the opportunity.

Misha, to tell you the truth, since the nomination was announced, quite a few people within the faction have come to complain to me!

Alas, many senior members of the faction have made it clear that they will not support Meddev in the vote.

By the way, Misha, will you support Meddev when the vote comes? "

This last sentence should be the real purpose of his coming to find Wang Ye!

Wang Ye smiled and said calmly: "I personally have no objection to this nomination... But, I have no control over how other members of my faction choose. After all, Meddev has nothing to do with our faction. relation."

Gryzlov may not know that Meddev’s nomination was originally proposed by Wang Ye...

The Kremlin also considered it for several days and found that there was indeed no more suitable candidate than Meddev, so it came up with this nomination.

There is no problem with Meddev's ability. What's more important is that he is from the Petersburg faction and is someone's younger brother!

In terms of loyalty, it is certainly not comparable to Kasyanov.

After pushing Meddev to this position, the Kremlin will no longer have to worry about the government's lack of cooperation.

After coming up with this nomination, the Kremlin must have considered it comprehensively and thought it over carefully, and also understood that this nomination may be opposed by the Duma, or even fail to pass the vote!

But they will also do their work and lobby various factions. If the nomination fails once, then do it twice; if it doesn’t work twice, do it three times!

Until you can pass...

Anyway, the initiative is in the hands of the Kremlin!

Of course, if nominations are rejected by the Duma one after another, the Kremlin's reputation will not be at stake.

So they still hope to pass it in one go.

…………

Hearing Wang Ye's statement, Gryzlov narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to figure out what Wang Ye was thinking.

Gryzlov is very dissatisfied with this Kremlin nomination.

After Kasyanov suddenly "dismissed get out of class", the Z position became vacant, and Gryzlov had an idea.

He wanted to promote one of his old buddies, who is currently serving as deputy manager. In terms of qualifications, reputation and work ability, after Kasyanov is dismissed, he will be the best replacement!

Grezlov also communicated this idea to the Kremlin Palace. The Kremlin Palace was noncommittal at the time and just said it was still considering it.

He thought he was sure of it, because no matter from any aspect, the candidate he recommended had no competition!

But who knows who Meddev will be after the new nomination comes out!

He was very angry. First of all, he had already boasted to his old friend, saying that he would definitely be able to keep his position.

Secondly, by doing this, the Kremlin showed contempt for the many senior and core figures in the faction.

You know, the Silavik Group is not monolithic, but has many mountains.

There are the Petersburg faction, the KGB-origin faction, the police system, the legal system and so on.

Although everyone has gathered together for a common goal, who can be without a little selfishness?

Therefore, the struggle for power within the factions is also fierce.

In the previous term, Kasyanov was chosen by the Kremlin in order to balance the relationship between internal and external factions.

Now that Kasyanov has stepped down, since he has to be selected within the faction, there will be a lot of hard work.

Everyone knows about the relationship between Meddev and the Kremlin. Maybe some people have not paid attention to Meddev before, but once the nomination came out, his background and background must have been clearly investigated.

After figuring out Meddev's origins, everyone also understood why the Kremlin nominated him to take over the post of Prime Minister.

But if you do this, it will look too ugly!

…………

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Gryzlov raised his head and seemed to have made up his mind.

He looked at Wang Ye and said: "I will clearly express my opposition to this nomination!"

Wang Ye was a little surprised. He knew that many people would oppose Meddev's nomination, but Grezlov should not be included among them!

In any case, Gryzlov, the leader of the first faction, has always stood with the Kremlin and remains consistent.

If even he clearly opposes it, then things will get serious this time!

Wang Ye grinned and said with a wry smile: "Are you really going to do this? Even if I object, maybe nothing will happen, but if you object, then things will be different."

Grezlov is the Speaker of the Duma!

Even though his actual influence and power within the Duma are not as good as Wang Ye, the first deputy speaker, he is still nominally the "number one" figure in the Duma!

If he expresses his clear opposition to the Kremlin's nomination, it basically means that the Duma is on the opposite side of the Kremlin.

Next, if a settlement cannot be reached, then it will be a one-on-one battle...

Of course, the Kremlin side also knows full well that Gryzlov cannot represent the Duma!

It's not like he misunderstood Wang Ye as having "different intentions" because of Gryzlov's objection.

However, Wang Ye does not want the relationship between the Duma and the Kremlin to be so rigid. Many of his plans must be supported by the Kremlin before they can be advanced.

If the two sides really compete with each other, it will also delay their own work.

Grezlov smiled and explained:

"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about.

When it comes to voting, I won't really vote against it. I'll probably abstain from voting.

However, when communicating within the faction, I will hold a clear opposition attitude, let alone help lobby members within the faction.

If they feel they have everything under control, then let them communicate with the MPs themselves.

If the final vote results and this nomination is approved, that is their fault. "

After hearing what he said, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. There was still room for maneuver.

But Gryzlov is not willing to help the Kremlin in lobbying, and he also wants to make his opposition clear within the faction, so it is estimated that the first faction will not have many support votes by then.

In this case, you have to put some thought into it...

…………

There is no doubt that Meddev is the candidate recommended by Wang Ye.

However, there is no friendship between the two, so Wang Ye actually doesn't care too much whether Meddev can successfully ascend to the throne.

He just thinks that according to "history", Meddev should also "come forward"!

He was just following the trend and making suggestions. In the end, it was Kegong who made the decision, and it had little to do with him.

But if Meddev loses miserably in the Duma vote, that will not be Wang Ye's original intention.

Originally, he thought that although there was considerable opposition, with the influence and control of the Kremlin and the work being done in private before the Duma vote, the result should still be passed.

Even if the number of votes is not very high...

It is also possible that the first vote did not receive more than half of the support and it failed to pass.

But if there is a second vote later, as long as the Kremlin's stance is firm, some members may change their minds and vote in favor.

After all, everyone was just angry for a moment, and it was impossible to really fall out with Katsura because of this matter.

But he never expected that even Gryzlov would express clear opposition now!

If this were directly voted on, the result would be conceivable, and it would probably be ugly...

This situation must be avoided!

After a few minutes when Gryzlov left his office, Wang Ye got up and went out to Zhirinov's office.

There are four major factions in the Duma. Gryzlov's first faction has 155 seats, Wang Ye's faction has 150 seats, and the third largest faction is Zhirinov and his friends, with 80 factions.

It was the Moscow faction’s turn in fourth place, with only 60 seats, and the remaining small factions were ignored.

According to the rules, Meddev's nomination only needs to get more than half of the votes in the Duma, that is, 225 votes in favor, to be passed.

Wang Ye originally thought that even if only half of the first faction voted in favor, if another hundred or ten members of his own faction voted in favor, that would be almost half.

As for Zhirinov and the Moscow faction, it goes without saying that they must have voted against or abstained from voting...

In this way, the voting results will be in line with Wang Ye's vision, stuck at about half, and may barely pass, or may not pass by a few votes.

This result may not be ideal for Meddev, and his face is somewhat unsightly.

But this is the best result for Wang Ye!

Because this way he has more room for maneuver...

Now based on what Gryzlov means, he probably doesn't even have the support of half of the people in the first faction. He can't just go out and lobby the members of the faction to get everyone to support Meddev.

That would be counterproductive, making it seem as if Meddev is the candidate he strongly recommends.

Other congressmen and factions who oppose this nomination will look at themselves with strange eyes, and may even transfer their anger to themselves!

Therefore, he cannot go down personally, let alone allow most members of his faction to support Meddev. He must grasp the balance...

…………

After arriving at Zhirinov's office, Wang Ye closed the door and said with a smile: "Old leader, are you free? I have something to discuss with you."

Although Zhirinov is busy with work at hand, but Wang Ye is here, he must be free.

He pulled Wang Ye to the sofa and sat down. Before he could ask what happened to Wang Ye, Wang Ye spoke first.

He said seriously: "Regarding this nomination by the Kremlin, I want to know what your faction really thinks. Do you support or oppose it?"

Zhirinov was stunned for a moment and said without hesitation: "That must be objection! Why does Meddev hold such an important position? He is not qualified!"

Obviously, Zhirinov is also the kind of person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. He is outspoken and says whatever he thinks.

Especially in front of Wang Ye, there is no need to hide one's true thoughts.

Wang Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head. He really didn't know what kind of work the Kremlin did in his "previous life" to push Meddev to the position.

Why are we facing such great difficulties now!

But it's no wonder, because in the "previous life", the first faction had far more seats in the Duma than it does now, and the Kremlin had stronger control.

Who made "Mikhail" such a big variable appear now...
