Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 1067: Chapter 934: Avoiding Involution

Wang Ye certainly didn’t underestimate the strength of Rossiyana’s faction.

Not to mention those two "Sleeping Dragons" within it, one in literature and one in the military, were definitely not ordinary people...

The Tsarist faction had tremendous potential among the common people, the ones who found life less satisfactory were more likely to harbor Tsarist ideas.

As it happened, the majority of the population in Russia was not faring well!

Therefore, when the Duma elections came around in four years, Wang Ye felt that the biggest competitors to his faction were only two.

One, of course, was the Hilarwick Group, the faction led by Grezlov.

In recent years, the political elite mostly emerged from this faction.

The Kremlin, Grezlov, the recently appointed Medvedev, and the chiefs of various powerful institutions like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Safety Bureau, the Ministry of Defense, and others.

They were all from the Hilarwick Group!

Although in this term of the Duma, the Hilarwick Group did not have too many seats, and Wang Ye’s faction almost surpassed them.

But that didn’t mean the Hilarwick Group was out of the game!

It was just that at that time, due to special circumstances, the Hilarwick Group chose to focus on securing the Kremlin position and conceded some seats in the Duma.

Next term, if the competition for the Kremlin wasn’t as fierce and everyone reached an understanding to unanimously "promote" Medvedev to power, then the Hilarwick Group, concentrating its resources and energy on the Duma elections, would truly reveal its strength!

By then, Wang Ye really couldn’t afford to be careless, or he would probably suffer a crushing defeat!

Moreover, four years later, Wang Ye’s goal was to aim for the position of Duma Speaker!

To rightfully assume this role, his faction’s seats in the Duma had to rank first—that should be the most basic condition, right...

As for the other competitor, it wasn’t the Moscow Faction nor Khodorkovsky’s New Faction, but Rossiyana’s Tsarist faction!

He estimated that this faction could become the dark horse in the next Duma elections, a sudden upsurge, possibly attaining a position within the top four, even the third Faction.

Although Rossiyana was his fiancée, and in four years could even become his wife.

But as the Faction Party Leader, Wang Ye still had to consider this issue.

This time, promoting Rossiyana to the position of Moscow Governor was also for this reason.

He hoped Rossiyana would follow the government’s development path and not get involved in "internal strife" with him in the Duma...

Only then could the two of them complement each other and mutually support, maximizing the strength of both factions!

......

"Of course, I’ll need your help since you’re not too busy lately anyway, and your faction has just been established and hasn’t experienced any storms or major actions.

This is just the right opportunity to give your faction a chance to train."

Wang Ye gave Rossiyana a simple briefing, not going into too much detail, just to prepare her mentally.

The real action plan would be communicated later.

If Medvedev represented top-down pressure on the Moscow Faction,

then Rossiyana’s faction should start from the bottom up, stirring up public opinion from the grassroots, causing Luzhikov and his group to be overwhelmed and flustered!

As for Wang Ye, he didn’t need to take personal action for the time being.

At the crucial moment, a lethal strike would suffice.

......

Suddenly receiving a "windfall" from the sky, Rossiyana was also excited.

This was the Governor of Moscow State!

Not just for a newcomer like her just stepping into the political arena but even for many with decades of experience, this position was not something they could even dare to think of!

Even one could say that after a few years of experience as Moscow Governor, from a certain perspective, she would be eligible to "contest" for the position in the Kremlin!

Because Moscow State was definitely the most pivotal location in the country, with the most concentrated population and the most developed economy—it was the most important state, bar none!

If she could manage this state well, then it was clear evidence that she could manage the entire country...

Of course, having the eligibility didn’t mean she could replace her father-in-law and take over the Kremlin after four years.

In Rossiyana’s view, the most suitable successor to her father-in-law was unquestionably Mikhail!

If Mikhail wanted to vie for that position, she would support him unconditionally, including with the support of her entire faction.

But if Mikhail wasn’t interested in that position, she wouldn’t hold back...

Originally, her plan was to spend fifteen to twenty years accumulating reputation and experience, while also waiting for her father-in-law to finish his term, followed ideally by Mikhail taking over for two terms.

That way, after fourteen or fifteen years, her own qualifications, reputation, and experience would suffice for a seamless transition!

Calculating that way, from her father-in-law to Mikhail and then to herself...

This sequence would mean their "Family" monopolized the highest political position for thirty years!

Also, starting from the next Duma term, the position of Speaker should also be in their hands.

According to Rossiyana’s plan, next term, with Mikhail heading to the Kremlin, she would lead her faction into the Duma and directly take the role of Duma Speaker!
