Chapter 1147: Chapter 973 Collective Security Organization_2

Otherwise, one could really not control their own destiny.

For roles within the Moscow State system, except for those in the State Council which are elected, Rossiyana had no right to meddle.

As for heads of various other agencies and departments, she could appoint or dismiss them at will!

She didn’t need any excuse, a simple "unable to cooperate in work" was enough.

Of course, under normal circumstances, as long as you kept in step with your superiors and didn’t deviate from the general direction, you wouldn’t be dismissed casually.

Rossiyana’s focus was on the heads of each department; she didn’t have the energy to deal with those underlings.

Wang Ye nodded his head, as he wouldn’t interfere too much with Rossiyana’s work.

Although the two were engaged, in their professional lives, they should be "partners."

They would help each other and provide mutual support, but not interfere with each other.

However, according to what Wang Ye had learned, soon after Rossiyana took office as the Governor, she had firmly established her position and began to "massacre"!

In just over ten days since Wang Ye’s return to the country, dozens of officials within the Moscow State system had been dismissed and sent to court!

It was not Dania’s doing, but Rossiyana’s handiwork...

Clearly, those officials sent to court were the ones who were not very cooperative with Rossiyana’s work.

If Wang Ye had been the one to take the Governor’s position, perhaps he would have been more tactful and not resorted to such harsh measures from the start.

Now, looking at Rossiyana, Wang Ye felt she really did have some of her ancestor "Catherine the Great’s" traits...

...

The second day upon returning to Moscow, Wang Ye came to the Duma Building office as usual to work.

Having been away for over half a month, a lot of work had piled up waiting for him to tackle, with a stack of documents marked as "Urgent" on his desk.

It’s just that the stronger one’s ability, the greater the responsibility.

If Wang Ye had only served as the Deputy Speaker Duma and Faction Party Leader, he could have had a more relaxed time.

What mainly kept him busy were his roles as chairman of those two committees, foreign and economic affairs, intensely demanding daily tasks!

The two areas under his purview were extremely important national matters, and since both committees he led were so powerful, the number of affairs needing his attention was even greater.

While Wang Ye was immersed in his work, Nova came in and reported, "Boss, Mr. Gubliev has arrived."

Wang Ye paused, then stood up and greeted with a smile, "Please, let him in."

What would make Gubliev leave the Kremlin office to come to him at this time...

After Nova brought Gubliev in, Wang Ye embraced him warmly.

Gubliev also patted Wang Ye’s arm, asking with concern, "I heard you just got back, how come you didn’t rest a bit and came straight to work?"

Wang Ye shook his head and replied with a wry smile, "Ah, such is the life of the hardworking, I can’t sit still. Anyway, what brings you to the Duma, something that couldn’t have been dealt with over the phone?"

As they both sat down, Nova arrived with two cups of black tea and then left the room.

Only then did Gubliev explain the reason for his visit.

"Heh, even though I know you’re surely swamped having just returned, but I’ve got no choice, there’s something that requires your personal attention."

Wang Ye laughed lightly, responding offhand, "If it’s worth your personal visit, it must be no small matter."

Gubliev nodded and didn’t beat around the bush, but before getting to the main point, he let out a sigh.

Then he proceeded to say, "With you away from Moscow these days, there’s a matter you may not know about, how should I put this, it can be seen as a military issue, but also a diplomatic one. Hence, the Kremlin thought it best that you be involved."

Wang Ye arched an eyebrow, guessing from Gubliev’s introduction which matter it could be.

He didn’t voice his thoughts, however, just waiting for Gubliev to continue further.

"By the way, do you know about the Collective Security Organization?" Gavriil asked.

Wang Ye nodded, "I do, it’s the one we initiated, and then organized with several neighboring brother countries for... national security purposes?"

He knew of it, but didn’t have a clear understanding.

After all, this so-called "Collective Security Organization" seemed to have been quiet for a long time, and nobody mentioned it usually.

How should I put this, Russia is now too busy to take care of itself, so it doesn’t have the mood or energy to look after its little brothers...

Gavriil explained, "The Collective Security Organization was established by our country in the early nineties, with six initial member countries. Other than Russia, there were Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan!

Later on, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Belarus also joined.

There were nine member countries in total."

Wang Ye was somewhat amazed; wow, that’s quite a bunch of "poor brothers"!

"So many countries? Then it must have quite a strength," Wang Ye said with a smile.

Gavriil sighed again and continued, "However, after a few years, three countries withdrew—Azerbaijan, Georgia, Uzbekistan. So now there are still only six members."

Wang Ye expressed his understanding; it must be that these three countries saw Russia becoming increasingly down and out and no longer wanted to be associated with it.

He gestured to Gavriil to continue explaining what exactly the problem was with the Collective Security Organization.

"The next meeting of the Collective Security Organization is about to be held in Moscow, but there are numerous issues among the member countries, especially Armenia, which is on the brink of war with Azerbaijan over some historical issues.

We are thinking, maybe we could use this meeting opportunity to mediate between the two countries.

Otherwise, if current and former member countries really go to war, wouldn’t that make the whole world laugh at us?

At that time, should we persuade them to make peace or to fight?

Which one should we support!

Although, according to the agreement of the Collective Security Organization, we should support Armenia, Azerbaijan was also once our brother country, and we would like to bring it back too..."

After listening to Gavriil’s lengthy explanation, Wang Ye finally understood what was happening.

In summary, as the leader of the "Collective Security Organization," Russia is having trouble keeping the situation under control!

The poor brothers also have various problems, morale is scattered, and the team is hard to lead.

But Russia doesn’t want to lose face. Although its influence is hard to extend worldwide, at the very least in the surrounding regions, it still wants to maintain the stature of the "big brother"!

If it could settle the disputes between member countries and non-member countries and act as a peacemaker, wouldn’t that bring both prestige and benefits!

However, the Kremlin couldn’t come up with a good solution to settle this matter, so they came to Wang Ye, wanting to ask for his help and have him come up with some ideas.

After all, Wang Ye is the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

The Collective Security Organization, although military in nature, clearly also involves foreign affairs.

Having clarified the situation, Wang Ye then asked with a smile, "So, the Kremlin’s idea is to take this opportunity of the meeting to invite Azerbaijan as well and then everyone sits down and talks it over, in the hopes of reaching reconciliation between them and Armenia, right?"

Gavriil nodded, "Right! Of course, it would be even better if you could take this chance to bring Azerbaijan back into the Collective Security Organization."

Wang Ye suddenly thought of something and asked spontaneously, "Hold on, how come Ukraine is not part of this organization?"

Indeed, up to now, the relationship between Russia and Ukraine is still quite good, so why isn’t Ukraine part of such an organization?

Gavriil responded with a bitter smile, "Ukraine is a special case. They were invited to join initially, but they responded that they were not interested in such a military natured organization. Their country’s primary task is to develop the economy first, to make the country prosperous!"

Wang Ye laughed wryly at this; Ukraine really doesn’t think small, does it?

After so many years of development, has its economy really grown...

He guessed that the leaders at the time were playing it slick, not wanting to bind themselves too closely to Russia and leaving a way out for themselves.
