Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Seeing that the two "leaders" had spoken, other faction members spoke one after another.

"In the final analysis, our faction's voice in the current Duma is too low and has no say! You guys in the Duma should be responsible for this responsibility. Look at our side, we have never lost in every general election!"

"Haha, are you kidding? Last year, the factions concentrated all their resources and funds on state elections. The Duma did not allocate much funds and resources at all, and the opponents all invested heavily. Next, we will naturally have fewer seats, so you can’t blame us for this.”

"Don't you still know the reason why we concentrated resources on the state campaign at that time? It's not because the Duma has shown signs of decline and no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain. It's better to concentrate our superior resources and firmly hold on to the basics of the state. The result is that our choice was correct. Both the governor and the state assembly won a resounding victory."

"Okay, just say a few words. Don't think that the Duma side is unimportant. Now you have seen the consequences. If the Duma side wants to cause trouble in the state, it will just set up a joint investigation team, because our Duma side There are not many horse seats, so you can’t stop me even if you want! No matter how powerful your state is, do you still dare to resist in front of the joint investigation team?”

…

The living room was in chaos, and everyone was divided into two groups and attacked each other.

Veteran factions like the Moscow faction are not harmonious internally. Everyone is roughly divided into two major factions due to different interests and positions.

That is, in the Duma and in the states, people on both sides often have different ideas or choices.

At the same time, Konov is naturally the representative of the Duma, while Luzhkov is the representative of the forces in the state...

Of course, for the entire faction, the power in the state is much greater than that of the Duma!

Of the dozen or so people in the living room now, only four were from the Duma, including Konov, and the rest were from the oblast.

This numerical comparison also illustrates the balance of power between the two sides within the faction.

Hearing everyone's noise, Luzhkov felt a headache again. It seemed that as the faction declined, internal conflicts would also arise.

Generally, when a faction is developing vigorously, there will be few internal conflicts and problems will be covered up.

Because everyone knows that the cake of the faction will get bigger and bigger, and everyone will be able to get enough in the future.

But when a faction goes downhill, internal conflicts will begin to intensify.

In the same way, the faction cake will only get smaller and smaller, so everyone must rush to take a bite first. If you are late, you may not be able to eat it!

…………

Konov couldn't stand listening anymore and scolded him with a straight face:

"okay!

Even if we don’t say a few words, what time is it now and we are still quarreling? "

Everyone stopped, but their faces were not good-looking, and it was obvious that some people were still unconvinced.

Konov turned to look at Luzhkov, "You summoned everyone here today, maybe you didn't want to see everyone quarreling, right? Now the faction is facing such a difficult situation, so we all put aside our personal selfishness, unite as one, and first Let’s get over it and think about other things.”

Luzhkov nodded and said:

"Konov is right, what we need now is unity and concerted efforts!

Otherwise, they will be defeated by the joint investigation team one by one. Everyone will be in danger and no one can escape!

Obviously, the target of this joint investigation team is our faction!

To be more precise, it's us in this room.

Of course, Konov and the others may not be included, but it is obvious that once something happens to these people in our state, Konov and those of you in the Duma will not end well. "

Konov nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Luzhkov's opinion.

He opened his mouth and added: "Let me add a few words, that is, the ultimate goal of this joint investigation team is most likely to point to Luzhkov.

But at the beginning, we may target individual members of our faction, such as all of you here now.

If this happens, I'll warn you in advance.

Don't think about throwing dirty water and blame on Luzhkov just to protect yourself!

Everyone must understand that as long as Luzhkov is still in the position of governor, things are not too bad.

Even if one of your colleagues here is arrested or something, our people outside can still bail you out.

However, if something happens to Luzhkov, our faction will face real disaster!

No one can escape then, and they will all pay a heavy price! "

Konov is not stupid, of course he understands the meaning of death.

Everyone is attached to the Moscow faction, or under the "big tree" of Luzhkov.

Usually, for the benefit of Xiaoshantou, I can still compete with Luzhkov to share more resources or something.

But at a critical moment, everyone else in the faction may give up temporarily. The only one who cannot give up is Luzhkov!

As long as Luzhkov can be saved, it will be worth paying any price!

It may not be convenient for Luzhkov to say some things in person, so he can only say them.

Konov was also very refreshing. At this critical moment, he put aside his personal gains and losses and stepped forward to speak out those words for Luzhkov.

The two have been partners for most of their lives. Although they occasionally have disputes, they have never lost touch at critical moments!

Luzhkov glanced at Konov gratefully. His old friend really did not disappoint him.

These words were actually what Luzhkov was thinking, but it was not convenient for him to say them out.

Otherwise, if these people under my command heard this, they would probably murmur in their hearts.

I think Luzhkov would rather sacrifice everyone in order to protect himself!

That would be counterproductive...

But if Konov said it, it would seem very reasonable and everyone would be able to listen to it better.

…………

Sure enough, after Konov finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room changed.

The atmosphere that was originally a bit tense and depressing has relaxed a lot.

The dozen or so key members of the faction also expressed their loyalty to the faction and to Luzhkov, saying that they would never betray the faction. Even if they were sent in, they would not be able to involve Luzhkov!

"Don't worry, Governor and Speaker, I can definitely withstand the test. No matter how the people in the investigation team deal with me, I will never expose any comrades in the faction!"

"That's right! We are all old guys who have seen the world and experienced ups and downs. I don't believe that I can't handle this small scene."

"I don't know about others, but I dare to swear to God that no matter what the situation is, I will never say anything detrimental to our faction to the investigation team!"

"Me too, I dare to swear..."

The atmosphere suddenly became heated. Luzhkov and Konov looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The purpose of calling everyone here for a meeting today is this!

Let everyone have a unified tone first, so that everyone can be mentally prepared. When they actually face the investigation team, don't talk nonsense!

…………

"Haha, let me tell you an interesting story. I heard that the female lawyer who was once bribed by us to deal with Mikhail was now recruited by Mikhail and served as his secretary. Moreover, this joint investigation Team, Mikhail sent that female lawyer as his representative to investigate us!"

A member of the faction suddenly smiled and said to everyone.

The reason why he is so well-informed is because he was the one who planned to block the demolition of the CBD project and bribed Dania to incite the owners to demonstrate!

To be honest, at first he did think about finding someone to "kill" Dania after the demonstrations were over!

This not only silenced Mikhail, but also put a huge blame on Mikhail that even he couldn't shake off!

Unfortunately, things change so quickly.

The demonstration, which was originally thought to last for several days, ended in just one morning.

Then Dania, that damn traitor, actually went to Mikhail's side that day and helped him persuade the owners to sign demolition contracts.

He suddenly changed his identity and became the secretary of the First Deputy Speaker of the Duma...

In this way, there will be no way to attack Dania.

If you kill an unknown little lawyer, no one will care, and the police department will probably just open a case and handle the matter.

But if the secretary of the First Deputy Speaker of the Duma is killed, things will become big!

Besides, if you try to kill Dania at this time, there will be only huge risks and no benefits. As long as you are not crazy, you will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

…………

Upon hearing the news he said, everyone in the living room was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, does Mikhail have no one available, so he asked a young lawyer to preside over the investigation team? I was a little worried at first, but now I'm fine, I'm not scared at all."

"Hey, isn't this female lawyer very beautiful? I have heard that Deputy Speaker Mikhail is young, handsome and rich. He is very popular with girls. His team of beautiful assistants is very famous in the Duma of!"

"You should have told everyone about such an important thing earlier! If you had known earlier, the atmosphere wouldn't have been so solemn just now, haha."

"This is nonsense! After all, Mikhail is still too young. He holds great power and starts to act randomly."

…

Even Luzhkov was stunned for a moment, then turned and asked Konov: "Is this really true? Are you guys in the Duma doing such nonsense?"

Konov shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"I don't know either. But when the investigation team was established, Mikhail was the team leader himself. Based on his position, there was nothing anyone could say.

As for the young lawyer, he was probably assigned by Mikhail to take charge of the daily work of the investigation team.

That is, replacing Mikhail himself as his representative.

Although it is indeed a bit nonsense, from a procedural point of view, there is no problem. "

Luzhkov nodded and said with a smile:

"In this case, I have a guess.

That is, regarding the investigation team, Mikhail wanted to warn us, but he did not intend to completely break up with us until death.

That's why he raised the board high, but then put it down gently.

On the surface, the investigation team appears to be of high standard and aggressive.

But he himself only had a name on the investigation team, but sent a young secretary to preside over the work of the investigation team.

You should understand the meaning of these abnormal actions..."

When Konov heard this, his eyes lit up. He patted his thigh and blurted out: "Yes! It is indeed possible... No, it should be said that it is like this!"

The conversation between the two of them made the people next to them confused and confused.

"Governor, Speaker, what are you two talking about?" a member couldn't help but ask.

Luzhkov smiled slightly and patiently explained to everyone:

"From what Mikhail asked his new secretary to go to the investigation team, I speculated that maybe this time the matter was not as serious as everyone thought.

Maybe he came out with the investigation team just because he knew someone from our faction was behind his back.

Although it did not cause any substantial harm to him, since he knew it, he had to respond!

Because it is impossible for a person of his status to remain silent after being provoked, otherwise his reputation will be damaged!

But, I don’t know why, maybe I just don’t want to make things big.

He doesn’t want to have a fight with our faction and have a complete falling out.

So, he took the lead in setting up a high-level investigation team with a very clear goal, which was to investigate officials in Moscow State. The meaning was very clear, it was to target our Moscow faction.

In this way, both in our eyes and in the eyes of outsiders, we will think that Mikhail is going to attack us!

But very cleverly, he just asked a young female secretary to preside over the daily work of the investigation team.

And this female secretary is someone we will definitely pay attention to, so this detail will definitely be noticed by our faction, but it can easily be ignored by outsiders.

This is very interesting!

If this is true as I think, then Mikhail is really not a simple person.

It seems that the reason why he has climbed to the high position he is today is not entirely due to his uncle and finding a good wife. He himself is also very smart and thoughtful! "

Konov added next to him:

“The governor’s point is that Mikhail may not actually have as much ill will toward us as he lets on.

There is no need to be too nervous, the investigation team is probably just going through the motions. "

The analysis of the two of them sounded very reasonable, and the backbones of the faction also suddenly realized it, and nodded to express that they understood...

However, is it really as Luzhkov guessed that Wang Ye set up such an investigation team just to scare them?

If he had heard what Luzhkov said just now, it is estimated that Wang Ye would only use one word to evaluate it.

That is, being sentimental!
