Chapter 1091: Chapter 945: Hidden Trump Card_2

This is betrayal!

A compelled betrayal!"

His words sounded righteous and just, as if he had already positioned himself on the moral high ground.

Those unaware might think this fellow was a core member of the Moscow Faction...

But the problem is that he’s a Congressman from the Hilarwick Group!

Thus, after being accused by him, members of the Moscow Faction couldn’t hold back anymore.

A Congressman stood up and responded loudly:

"Please be aware that we are not some ’Moscow Faction,’ we are the Liberal Party!

Furthermore, although Luzhikov was once a member of our party, after he became Governor, he resigned from the faction, so he currently has no relation to our faction.

Additionally, I would like to remind this gentleman Congressman to be aware of one thing.

As Duma Members, during any voting, at all times, we must adhere to fairness and impartiality, and not side with injustice due to personal relationships or factional interests!

So, the members of our faction who voted in support didn’t consider as much as you think.

We merely listened to Miss Dania’s account and believed that what she said made sense, that Luzhikov was no longer suitable for the role of Moscow Governor.

Therefore, we cast this sacred vote..."

His words were even more filled with righteous indignation, leaving the accusing Congressman red-faced and speechless.

Indeed, even though everyone refers to the Liberal Party as the Moscow Faction, the faction’s official name is certainly not "Moscow Faction"...

On the surface, there really wasn’t any connection to Luzhikov either...

Just like the relationship between the Kremlin and the first faction, you could say they aren’t connected, but everyone knows that the first faction fully supports the Kremlin.

But if you said there was a relationship, there really isn’t any overt evidence to prove any connection between them.

Because my father-in-law is a nonpartisan...

......

Dania, who had retreated to the side after her statement, was also watching the scene unfold in the hall with a shocked expression on her face.

At the start, when only a few members of the Hilarwick Group raised their hands in support, she was so anxious she nearly stamped her feet.

Because that almost meant the recall had failed!

But what happened later left her somewhat dazed.

Is this what political struggle is?

Is this what calculation is...

Stealing a glance at Wang Ye, seated on the podium, she noticed that his expression hadn’t changed at all throughout the entire process, exuding a sense of calm as if he were at ease watching the scene play out!

Dania sighed to herself. It seemed there was much she still had to learn from the Boss!

......

Watching the chaos unfold below, Grezlov had finally come back to his senses.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He firmly struck his gavel, quieting everyone down.

Once things settled down below, Grezlov turned to the secretary in the chamber, inquiring whether the voting results were available.

After receiving a positive response, Grezlov instructed the secretary to officially announce the results.

The voting results of the various factions quickly appeared on the large screen behind the podium, the tally clear and concise.

Out of 155 votes from the Hilarwick Group, there were only 15 in support and 140 against!

All 150 votes from the Mikhail Faction were in favor, with 150 supporting votes!

All 80 votes from the Rilinov Faction were in favor, with 80 supporting votes!

The Moscow Faction, also known as the Liberal Party, had a total of 60 votes, with 52 supporting and 8 against!

The minor factions’ 5 votes were all in support!

Overall results: 302 in support and 148 against.

The support votes exceeded 60%, and the motion passed!

......

Before Grezlov could even announce the results, chaos erupted below again.

This time it was "infighting" within the Moscow Faction...

A total of sixty Congressmen, and Rossiyana had bribed 52 of them, casting their votes in support.

But what about the eight who cast dissenting votes? They are the unbought diehards of the faction.

The events that just transpired must have exceeded their imaginations.

It’s like you’re driving on a road, thinking you’re in the right direction, but suddenly, you’re faced with a swarm of oncoming traffic in your lane, while behind you the road is empty.

At that moment, wouldn’t you feel panicked, wondering if you had taken the wrong path...

That was exactly what those few Congressmen were feeling!

However, after a moment of stunned confusion, they finally snapped out of it and began to grow angry and embarrassed.

They understood that after this vote, the Moscow Faction was completely finished!

Their years of faith had crumbled, their "home" was gone...

No one knew who started it, but suddenly one rose, waving his hand, unable to pinpoint a specific target—with traitors all around!

He burst out:

"You bastards!

Despicable, shameless traitors!

You’ve betrayed Mr. Luzhikov, betrayed the faction!

Pat your chests—how many of you relied on your own funds for the election campaign, and how many of you secured your own promotional resources!

Weren’t they all provided by the faction?

Weren’t they money that Mr. Luzhikov himself took out of his own pocket for you all!

And now you see that he’s in trouble, he’s stepping down, and you can’t wait to kick a man while he’s down, can you?

How can you sleep at night after doing this?

Aren’t you afraid... afraid of retribution!"

His outburst emboldened the remaining die-hard faction members, who all stood up to join him in berating the other fifty or so people.

The fifty plus were obviously unwilling to swallow the insult—how could they stand being cursed to their face!

Besides, everyone had already shown their true colors; even if they were still technically in the same faction procedurally, they were no longer on the same side!

Rossiyana had said that during this term, they would all follow Chairman Mikhail!

To align with Mikhail, to adhere to the "two whatevers."

Whatever Chairman Mikhail approves, they would support unconditionally.

And whatever Chairman Mikhail opposes, they would resolutely resist to the end!

As for the Moscow Faction, as for Kornov, let them all go to hell...

...

So, after being harshly scolded by those few Moscow Faction diehards, the fifty-something Congressmen exploded!

They too stood up and shouted back.

The scene was a cacophony of voices, and their retorts were inaudible, but in essence, they accused those few of taking benefits from Luzhikov, being Luzhikov’s lackeys, while they themselves proclaimed to be selfless, would not demean themselves to collude with villains...

As the two sides hurled insults, no one knew who threw the first punch, but the scene quickly descended into chaos.

Water glasses, laptops, folders flew through the air, and even a leather shoe sailed towards the main stage—if Grezlov hadn’t been quick enough, that shoe would have hit him squarely in the face...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Grezlov’s gavel was on the verge of shattering as he bellowed for order, demanding the crowd below to stop their brawl.

Unfortunately, the assembly was in a melee, completely disregarding Grezlov’s commands, not a single person paid attention to him.

Wang Ye frowned slightly and gestured to the side with a wave. Yelena understood immediately. She stood up, opened the back doors of the hall, and called out to something outdoors.

Then a squad of Guards rushed in.

Wang Ye ordered, "Take those who started the trouble out of here!"

Guided by Yelena, the Guards worked hard to part the crowd and lifted the few Congressmen who were being pummeled.

They strictly followed Wang Ye’s orders, bearing away the eight diehard Congressmen of the Moscow Faction...

Seeing this, Kornov, who had been struggling to keep his cool, could no longer hold back.

He glared at Wang Ye, demanding, "Deputy Speaker Mikhail, by what right do you have someone carry these Congressmen out? Didn’t you see that they were the ones being attacked? Why aren’t the assailants being taken out instead!"

Wang Ye gave a faint smile and feigned surprise, "Vice Speaker Kornov, are you mistaken? These Congressmen are from your faction, aren’t they? You are the Faction Party Leader; are you not going to stand with the majority of your faction members and instead side with the minority?"

Kornov
