Chapter 1004: Chapter 902: Raise an Army for a Thousand Days, Use it in a Moment

After lunch, Yanukovych and Yulia took their leave with good grace.

As they were leaving, Yulia seemed a bit reluctant. She had thought she would have the opportunity to have a deeper exchange with Wang Ye this time.

What a pity...

In front of everyone, neither Wang Ye nor Yulia showed any signs of irregularity.

It was only when seeing the two out that Yulia and Wang Ye shared a perfunctory hug, and she said with a smile, "Chairman Mikhail, when will you be visiting Kiev again? I have many questions to ask you."

Wang Ye thought for a moment and replied, "The General Election starts in February, right? Then I’ll come over then to cheer you both on and help drum up votes."

The start of the General Election would definitely require a visit from Wang Ye because he suspected that there would be troublemakers then!

He must preside over Kiev himself to grasp the situation on the scene at the first time and to make prompt and timely decisions.

He couldn’t afford to take the current high support rate of Yanukovych and his party lightly, or else he would suffer!

Upon hearing that Wang Ye would be coming, both Yanukovych and Yulia were inwardly pleased.

However, the reasons for their happiness were different.

Yanukovych, being more cunning, understood that the current lead in the support rate was only temporary and superficial.

Until the final result of the General Election was out, everything was subject to change.

Even if the General Election results were out, it didn’t mean everything was settled...

With Mikhail in Kiev, even if there were any surprises, it would be easy for him to handle with the resources at his fingertips.

As for Yulia, she didn’t think too much about the election. She was just a deputy after all, and she was very certain that she and Yanukovych would surely win!

Because they had Mikhail’s support behind them...

And it should be known that this was not just Mikhail’s personal will, but it represented the will of the Russian state!

That meant, when necessary, Mikhail could mobilize the entire nation’s resources of Russia.

If they couldn’t win the election with that, it would be quite preposterous.

Therefore, she felt the election was already very stable; she just wanted to further her "personal friendship" with Mikhail.

After all, it was not easy for her to latch onto such a "thick thigh," and whether her future would consist of prosperity or downfall could very well depend on her relationship with Mikhail.

She had learned this lesson the hard way in the past!

She once naively thought that as long as she had influence and financial strength, she could swim through the political arena like a fish in water.

The result? Just because she offended some genuinely powerful people, she, the Vice President, ended up in jail for over forty days before being released...

From then on, she understood a principle.

She, as she was now, didn’t have the capacity to hold her ground in the upper echelons of politics; she had to find a strong enough backer.

Hence, before Mikhail went to Kiev, she had been ready to join Yushchenko’s camp because she believed that Yushchenko had a high probability of winning.

But then Mikhail went, and after communicating deeply with her, Yulia had an epiphany and decisively shifted her allegiance to Wang Ye.

She knew clearly that when Mikhail, representing the will of Russia, intervened in Kiev, there was basically no one who could stand in the way.

At least that was the case at the time!

So she followed Wang Ye’s instructions and partnered with Yanukovych to participate in the election together.

As for the little grievances she and Yanukovych had before, those didn’t count for anything anymore; they were buried with a laugh.

As long as she could firmly cling to Wang Ye’s "thigh," then she would be untouchable in Kiev—maybe not quite walking sideways, but no one would dare touch her!

...

After seeing off Yanukovych and Yulia, Wang Ye did not relax in the afternoon since he had another person to meet.

This time, Wang Ye didn’t ask Angelina and Natalia to accompany him.

He said to the two ladies with a smile, "It’s New Year’s Eve tonight, and Simferopol must be beautifully decorated by now. Why don’t you go out for a walk and take a look? I have to entertain a guest later, and we’ll be discussing matters among men, so there’s no need for you to join."

Wang Ye didn’t hide anything from the women, simply telling them that the upcoming meeting did not require their presence.

Upon hearing this, the two ladies promptly decided to take a drive around the city to see if there were any emergent issues.

Although it was holiday time, those in high positions could be called to work at any moment; there was no concept of complete private time for them.

Just a short while after Angelina and Natalia had left, Wang Ye was still sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and pondering when the doorbell rang.

Xie Liaosha’s voice came through, "Boss, Colonel Androf has arrived."

Perhaps due to Xie Liaosha’s military background, including him, people at Wagner Company habitually referred to Androf as "Colonel."

In Wagner Company, if you mentioned the Colonel, everyone immediately knew who you were talking about.

It had virtually become Androf’s nickname.

Androf was, of course, the current commander of Wagner, responsible for all military-related operations and personnel deployment of Wagner Company.

It could be said that apart from finances, everything else was under his management!

His performance in the past two years had lived up to Wang Ye’s trust.
