Chapter 1184: Chapter 992: Greatness Redefined

Constantin looked at Rossiyana somewhat speechlessly, feeling that the girl must be joking with him!

"Mikhail not coveting power?"

If that were true, then how did he climb to his current position step by step!

Look at his string of titles; he’s now extending his reach into the realms of economic, foreign affairs, and military. If this is not considered coveting power, then I guess other politicians might as well jump off a building...

However, Rossiyana has more contact with Mikhail, and her words carry a great deal of credibility, leaving Constantin a bit puzzled because he could not guess Mikhail’s true intentions!

Furrowing his brow, Constantin sought confirmation again, "Did Misha really say that to you? That he wants you to run for the position in the Kremlin someday?"

Rossiyana nodded decisively, "Yes, that’s why I need to keep my reputation spotless now. I can’t do anything that could damage it because it would give my competitors an entry point for attacks during the General Election."

Constantin slowly nodded his head; if things were as Rossiyana had said, and Mikhail would sit in the Duma, backing Rossiyana fully in her run for the General Election, that would be perfect!

He would need to readjust many of his plans to coordinate with Rossiyana’s campaign.

All the hopes of his family were now fully entrusted to Rossiyana...

As long as she could smoothly take over the Kremlin, all his efforts would have been worthwhile, and the Romanov family would once again ascend to glory!

Therefore, he earnestly admonished, "This matter is of utmost importance. You need to find an opportunity to probe Misha’s real thoughts, to see whether he genuinely supports you or if it’s all just a charade."

Seeing that her grandfather didn’t believe her, Rossiyana pouted in dissatisfaction, "If you don’t believe it, then you talk to him yourself."

Constantin said helplessly:

"He is your fiancé, and you two are going to get married; of course, you can be open with each other.

There is still a barrier between him and me—how could I rashly discuss such a sensitive topic?

Silly girl, it’s not that I don’t trust you or Misha.

It’s just that this matter is too important; there is no room for error!

If we make a lot of effort and sacrifices, coordinating relationships in preparation for your future General Election campaign,

and then Misha suddenly decides to run, what do we do?

Do we just withdraw and yield the way for Misha?

The loss for our family would be too great!

But if we don’t withdraw, and you two compete against each other, how would you manage your marital relationship afterward?

Therefore, the two of you must decide in advance who will take that position.

So, in the next few years, both of your resources, including all the resources of our family, will have to be directed toward that chosen candidate.

The position in the Kremlin is not easy to attain!

Of course, I would prefer if you were the one to run for that position, since you are the Grand Duke of Romanov after all.

This country originally belonged to our family.

Now we are just reclaiming what our family once lost!"

By the end, Constantin’s voice was rising, clearly becoming emotional.

Rossiyana, on the other hand, didn’t share her grandfather’s sentiments—what glory of the Romanov family, what lost possessions, what did they have to do with her...

But she understood her grandfather’s feelings; after all, as the clan chief for several decades, with the family maintaining a low profile all these years, he was suddenly seeing hope, which is why he was so stirred.

Although it’s now impossible for a Tsar to reappear, the position in the Kremlin was nearly equivalent, so it must hold significant importance for her family!

Besides, she was also very curious about what it would feel like to sit in her father-in-law’s position...

So even if not for any family glory, but for her own sake, this was not a bad thing at all.

She nodded and responded, "I understand, Grandfather. I’ll find an opportunity to have a good talk with Misha about this, but I still hold the same view—I truly believe Mikhail isn’t that interested in the position in the Kremlin."

Constantin nodded resolutely, emphasizing his words, "That would be for the best! If you need anything in the future, the family will provide unconditional support. Whether our family can rise to greatness again all depends on you now."

Looking at her grandfather’s eyes brimming with hope, Rossiyana suddenly felt overwhelmed by the pressure...

...

Rossiyana’s family meeting was unknown to Wang Ye; he had been away on public affairs for the past few days.

But he wasn’t overseas; rather, he was in Siberia.

In recent years, on behalf of Yukos Group and Russian Gas Industry Group, Wang Ye had signed a Century Order with a certain country. After finalizing the deal, construction of the pipeline had been underway in full swing.

Such a super project it was!

After four years, the construction was finally complete, and the pipeline was ready to transport natural gas and crude oil.

Since the two contracts were signed simultaneously, it simplified things—the two pipelines could be built at the same time, saving much time and effort compared to constructing them separately.

Still, it took over four years to complete the work, showing the sheer magnitude of the project.

Building these two pipelines cost upwards of twenty billion US dollars, with the initial funding provided by Chinese partners. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to afford such an endeavor.
