Chapter 1333: Chapter 1066: Go All Out_2

"Perhaps the only thing I have over him is a ’good husband’..."

But they also have a good senior brother!

"That said... will Medvedev really run in the General Election in three years? Maybe he won’t even participate!" Rossiyana suddenly thought of something and spoke with a bit of excitement.

Constantin helplessly massaged his forehead, not knowing what to say.

Wang Ye patiently explained to Rossiyana, "Maybe a few months ago, Medvedev didn’t have the idea, but now, he definitely does. People change, and the more power they have in their hands, the more they crave even greater power. Moreover, Medvedev has already begun to establish his own stronghold within the Hilarwick Group, with many people turning to him. So, even if he doesn’t want to, he has to consider those under him, or rather, those people will also encourage him to run in the General Election..."

After listening to Wang Ye’s explanation, Rossiyana had an ’aha’ moment. She nodded emphatically and said,

"Yes, sometimes when you’re in such a position, you really can’t help yourself.

Just like me, at the beginning I didn’t even dare to dream of my father-in-law’s position; it was too far out of reach, I hadn’t even thought about it!

But since I became the Faction Party Leader and the Moscow Governor, and surrounded by a large group of people, things changed.

Du Jin and others would occasionally speak to me, saying the General Election in three years was a great opportunity, perhaps even the best one.

If I missed that chance, there would be much more uncertainty later on, so they advised me to run in the General Election in three years.

They made sound arguments, and gradually I also began to think that maybe I could give it a try..."

Wang Ye nodded with a smile, understanding that it wasn’t easy being the head of a faction.

If you enjoy the benefits and glory that position brings, then you must also shoulder the corresponding responsibilities, bringing benefits for your subordinates and maintaining the development of the faction.

Sometimes, even if you’re reluctant, you’re compelled by factional interests to keep moving forward.

Of course, for Rossiyana it wasn’t just about factional interests; it involved family interests and family glory as well, so she couldn’t possibly stop.

Sometimes, Wang Ye thought Rossiyana was quite pitiful.

Such a young girl, carrying too much on her shoulders; her family expecting her to restore their lost glory and her faction looking to her to lead them to the highest positions.

But no one considered that Rossiyana was just a girl in her twenties, who had been in the political arena for only two or three years...

Constantin, on the other hand, wasn’t too moved; he thought Rossiyana was still not strong enough and needed to continue to toughen up.

Perhaps, in his view, since Rossiyana enjoyed the glory brought by her family, she must contribute accordingly to the family.

All of this was what she was supposed to do!

The so-called pressure was just the worries of happiness, after all, most people didn’t even have the opportunity to bear such pressure...

Indeed, if Rossiyana hadn’t been born into the Romanov family, how could she have a father-in-law like that, inherit the Title of Grand Duchess of Romanov, find such an outstanding fiancé, or become the head of a major faction and the Moscow Governor at such a young age...

All of this wasn’t because she was outstanding herself, but because she had Romanov blood flowing through her veins!

So, before Rossiyana finished speaking, Constantin interrupted her and said with furrowed brows, "Actually, it’s quite simple: the two candidates with the most competitive force in the Election three years from now will be Rossiyana and Medvedev. What we need to consider now is how to defeat this most threatening opponent and ensure Rossiyana wins the election! Misha, what do you think?"

As he spoke, Constantin looked toward Wang Ye.

The question was ultimately thrown to Wang Ye, something he had been psychologically prepared for, so he replied calmly with a smile:

"The General Election is still three years away. How many things can happen within three years, no one can say for sure right now.

I think we should take it one step at a time. We should still do the necessary preparations, just respond flexibly to unchangeable circumstances.

It’s possible that by the time the competition comes, the opponents will make mistakes on their own, and without us having to do anything, they will be eliminated..."

He had given this explanation at the Kremlin as well.

Indeed, what Russia would look like in three years, what changes would occur in the political arena, whether one or two rising stars would emerge—no one could say for certain.

After all, three years prior, who would have thought Mikhail and Rossiyana, these two youngsters, would come to prominence, or that even Medvedev was just a nobody!

Time changes everything.

And these years were witnessing a period of rapid changes in Russia’s internal situation, where opportunities and risks coexisted, naturally leading to many talents standing out.

Rossiyana and Medvedev had merely taken an early advantage, but in another two or three years, one or even both of them might fall from power...

For example, if Medvedev encountered a conflict with the Kremlin in certain matters, losing the Kremlin’s trust, or if he made a significant mistake in an important affair, leading to the complete loss of his reputation, it could happen.

Then, without any action from the opposition, he would naturally lose his eligibility for the election!

The same applied to Rossiyana, but from the "bigger picture," her situation seemed to be somewhat better than Medvedev’s; she also had Constantin and Wang Ye helping her, making her less prone to mistakes.

Therefore, Wang Ye’s final advice was, "Keep a low profile, adapt as necessary!"

...

After listening to Wang Ye’s words, Constantin pondered for a long time, then slowly nodded in agreement, saying:

"Misha is right, we indeed cannot rush to accomplish things, nor can we disrupt our own formation.

Although Medvedev seems to be in the limelight for now, he also has many personal issues, and his support is not solid. Plus, being in such a position requires balancing his own interests with those of the Kremlin, which is a real test of his capability.

But we cannot afford not to prepare at all. Regardless of the opponent, we must give it our all!

Misha, your election as the Speaker in three years should be a sure thing, almost without any pressure.

So, try to spend more time and energy to help Rossiyana, who after all has just entered the political arena not long ago and is still lacking experience.

Although she has many assistants around her, how could they compare to you?

Not to mention their vision and scope fall far short of yours; at the very least, you are Rossiyana’s fiance, part of the same family, and you two will naturally consider each other’s interest without reservations.

Others will invariably have their own motives."

Rossiyana nodded vehemently, affirming her grandfather was correct; she would definitely work hard.

What more could Wang Ye say? He simply nodded along.

Little did he know, Constantin hadn’t "let him off the hook" yet. After concluding the topic of the election three years later, Constantin shifted the subject, looking at Wang Ye with a smile and saying:

"Misha, you and Rossiyana aren’t getting any younger; truth be told, not being married at twenty-five is already quite late.

Moreover, in three years, both of you might advance further; if you hold such important positions while still single, that wouldn’t be appropriate.

Even during the election, voters seeing that neither of you has settled down might think you are unreliable and not vote for you.

So, I think it’s time to schedule your wedding!"

Wang Ye was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Constantin to be waiting for him on this issue, but it was something he couldn’t "escape" sooner or later.

Just as Constantin said, not just in three years, even now, their statuses were not befitting of being single.

Being young and unmarried would definitely have an impact during the election.

Wang Ye himself didn’t mind; his election as Speaker was an internal vote at the Duma, but it was different for Rossiyana.
