Chapter 1020: Chapter 910: The Entire City Under Martial Law

"Mr. Yushchenko, it’s time to take action,"

The Election Result has just been announced, and those who support us are in the most agitated state; a little instigation can achieve great effect.

If we miss this optimal window of opportunity, when people no longer care about the election, it will be much harder to gather such a crowd again.

Therefore, let’s be decisive. Notify all contacts to proceed according to the established plan."

Within the office of Yushchenko’s Election Headquarters, an Election Consultant energetically stood before Yushchenko, eloquently presenting his ideas.

Yushchenko, on the other hand, seemed hesitant. He was slouching on a sofa, a cigarette between his fingers, his face worn and tired.

He was well aware that once this step was taken, it would be an unending strife between him and the Yanukovych faction!

One could even say, it was a road of no return!

Perhaps this path could allow for a miraculous turnaround, overturning the Election Result.

However, the consequences would be severe. Even if he came to power, he would just be the spokesperson for certain forces.

One might even call it "puppetry"...

But if he didn’t take this step, after his defeat in the election, would Yanukovych let him off once he had consolidated his power...

At this thought, Yushchenko had made up his mind.

To be a puppet, at least he could stand proudly on stage and live a life of dignity!

As for the damage to national interests, the selling of energy resources at low prices, and the worsening day-to-day life of the people, what did any of that have to do with him...

He stood up abruptly, gritting his teeth, "Then let’s get on with it! Notify everyone, gather tomorrow morning in the downtown plaza, bring out our flags and banners!"

With Yushchenko’s approval, his Election Team began to buzz with activity.

The team was huge and highly professional!

Despite the scandals, they had managed to get Yushchenko into the final runoff, gaining over thirty percent of votes, which was no small feat.

The team not only included professionals from Europe and the United States but also local individuals sent by Oligarchic powers.

All of them had "bet" on Yushchenko, investing substantial resources, hoping that a win for him in the General Election would bring them lucrative returns...

Massive funding and enormous resources had been poured in, but they had not achieved the expected outcome. Now, it was actually out of Yushchenko’s control.

If he was "sensible" and willing to issue this command, pushing the plan forward, everyone would still represent him and let him stand at the forefront.

This would naturally justify their actions, sparing much trouble.

But if Yushchenko was willing to accept defeat and didn’t wish to struggle any further, it probably wouldn’t be up to him anymore.

Someone would "represent" him in issuing the orders. Regardless, the plan would proceed as scheduled, following the established agenda without swaying to anyone’s personal will...

...

Through phone calls, the internet, and various other means of communication, Yushchenko’s Election Team disseminated the action orders.

Under the cover of night, countless people began to mobilize.

Dania was a typical resident of Kiev, having graduated from University two years ago and currently working at a small company.

His life could be described as neither good nor bad. He wouldn’t starve; he could maintain basic sustenance, but it was far from prosperous or of high quality.

After all, his monthly income was just over three hundred US dollars, a salary considered quite decent in Kiev, above the average level.

But the cost of living in Kiev was almost as high as in Moscow, so surviving on that salary was quite challenging.

After work, Dania’s main form of entertainment was surfing the internet, which provided the most happiness at the lowest cost.

This was also the lifestyle of most young people in Kiev similar to him.

Through the internet, they broadened their horizons, realized the differences in the world, and made many friends with similar interests.

In one online forum, Dania met many friends who shared his ideals.

They were young people extremely dissatisfied with reality, believing that the current bureaucratic politicians, including Gu Qima, were corrupt and incompetent, only worsening the situation of the country with no hope in sight.

At the same time, Dania and his friends believed that the country should completely follow the Western path, learning from developed countries in Europe and America, embracing full Westernization!

In this regard, they greatly admired Yushchenko, the Western faction, seeing him as a genuine advocate for the people and a politician capable of getting things done!

They despised old-school bureaucrats like Gu Qima and Yanukovych.

During that period, there were many articles online extolling Yushchenko, portraying him as a progressive and enlightened politician highly welcomed in the West.

It seemed that if Yushchenko were elected, Ukraine’s future would be bright!

Thus, during this General Election, Dania and his friends strongly supported Yushchenko, not only supporting him personally but also mobilizing colleagues, friends, family, and neighbors to support him as well.

In the beginning, this fervent enthusiasm did indeed play a significant role.

In the early Polls, Yushchenko actually surpassed Yanukovych, gaining a substantial advantage.

But when Yushchenko’s "scandal" broke out, Dania and his friends were greatly disheartened, as many mocked them for supporting a "convicted criminal’’!
