Chapter 1376: Chapter 1088: Laying the Cards on the Table

Wang Ye was not joking; after pushing Grezlov and Rilinov to the forefront, he genuinely intended to stand by as an observer.

Just like he said before, his relationship with Medvedev, Rossiyana, Grezlov, and Rilinov, whether public or private, was quite good. So, whom should he help?

Since helping any of them would be problematic and offend others, he decided not to assist any of them!

If Rossiyana and her faction had the capacity to leverage Wang Ye’s influence or that of his faction, Wang Ye would not stop them; it all depended on their personal abilities...

Of course, in this matter, Rossiyana naturally had a certain advantage—after all, she was Wang Ye’s official fiancée!

The media channels under Wang Ye’s TV Station, without needing his word, would also be biased towards Rossiyana in their coverage.

As for his power within the Duma, it was likely to be "borrowed" by Grezlov and Rilinov—close to the water tower gets the moon first, as they say.

Medvedev was in a bit of a tough spot, unable to borrow any help from Wang Ye, but with Kremlin support behind him, he was not at a disadvantage.

With this, the end-of-year General Election was set to be exciting.

Three equidistant forces, all determined to win, it was natural for a brutal fight ensues, then the headache would not fall on Wang Ye, but others...

...

Gavriil also seemed to have thought of this outcome, so when he came back to his senses, he said with a grin, "Misha, this... this isn’t good. You don’t want to see the Moscow political arena in chaos either."

Wang Ye spread his hands, feigning helplessness: "What can I do about it? I have no position to persuade them to give up. But I think the Kremlin could privately communicate with Rossiyana or Grezlov. After all, relationships are what they are, it’s best if everyone speaks candidly and negotiates an outcome that everyone can accept in advance."

Indeed, while Wang Ye was closely connected with the three factions in the General Election, don’t forget that the Kremlin’s relationships with these factions were also special!

Not to mention Medvedev, who is the core of the core, the closest of the close within the Kremlin’s Faction!

He is the candidate officially introduced and robustly supported by the Kremlin, second to none.

Rossiyana, when in the Kremlin, even has to call someone Father-in-law!

As for Grezlov, he and the Kremlin are both part of the Hilarwick Group, insiders, and it’s not easy for family to disagree...

Thus, Wang Ye saying that the Kremlin should step in to coordinate instead of him, made sense.

But in doing so, this put the "hot potato" back in the Kremlin’s hands, which was definitely not Gavriil’s purpose in coming today!

Gavriil scratched his head, trying to find some reason to get Wang Ye involved; he couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.

Because he was well aware that when it came to competing for that position, sentimentality was scarcely a factor.

Even if the Kremlin stepped in, trying to persuade Rossiyana and Grezlov to back down would be like daydreaming, completely unrealistic!

Instead, Wang Ye seemed more suited to take on the role of the "mediator"...

But after much thought, Gavriil really couldn’t find any reason to get Wang Ye to wade into these troubled waters—and Wang Ye had already made his stance clear: he was indifferent to the outcome and could accept any result.

This was going to be difficult...

After all, with Wang Ye’s current status, if he didn’t want to do something, no one could force him to, not Gavriil, not even the Kremlin.

Honestly, the Kremlin should be thankful that Wang Ye decided to maintain a relatively neutral stance and not interfered with this General Election.

...

Feeling frustrated after leaving Wang Ye’s office, Gavriil turned to go to Rilinov, planning to communicate with him first before finding Grezlov.

Gavriil felt somewhat guilty about Grezlov.

Because when it came to the status within the faction, as well as political experience and prestige, Grezlov overwhelmingly dwarfed him!

No matter what, Gavriil was only a "manager" for the Kremlin, and frankly speaking, his rank wasn’t that high.

But Grezlov was the Duma Speaker!

After many years in politics and always in high positions with countless disciples and old friends, he wielded immense influence both within and outside the faction, a figure who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Kremlin!

Therefore, even representing the Kremlin, Gavriil still had to speak politely to Grezlov.

If Grezlov didn’t give him face and gave him a few harsh words, Gavriil could only listen, not even showing any displeasure.

Casually walking into Rilinov’s office was a relief; thankfully, he had called Rilinov before coming over, or he might not have found him.

After all, these days Rilinov was also extremely busy, not as free as before.

Seeing Gavriil, Rilinov greeted him with a smile, sitting down without too much enthusiasm, but without a stern expression either.

In fact, the relationship between Gavriil and Rilinov wasn’t very strong; they hadn’t interacted much before, only on a professional basis.

So in front of Rilinov, Gavriil couldn’t be as direct as with Wang Ye; he circled around, probing cautiously:
