Chapter 1420 - 1110: Who is the Sacrifice

Chapter 1420: Chapter 1110: Who is the Sacrifice

Others may not be clear about the situation at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Wang Ye knew it all too well because the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Vladimir, was promoted by him personally and was also fiercely loyal to him.

Thus, over the past week, Vladimir had reported every move at the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Wang Ye.

Just as Wang Ye, Grezlov, and others had predicted, the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn’t catch the gunman who shot at Grezlov that night. Although the Ministry really put a lot of effort and energy into catching the person, the gunmen disappeared into thin air, without a trace.

Having no other choice, Yefrogen had to bite the bullet and find a few "scapegoats," hoping they could somehow be passed off as the culprits.

Of course, he also understood that the final outcome of the matter actually didn’t depend on whether he could catch the gunmen or not, but on the result of the "struggle above," to see if Medvedev could keep him in his position!

After Wang Ye learned of the situation, he also communicated privately with Grezlov.

Grezlov’s stance was very clear; his intention this time was to "eliminate" Yefrogen, cut off one of Medvedev’s "arms," and also serve as a warning to the opposition.

As for the so-called mastermind behind the scenes, he didn’t hold much hope of bringing them to light – those were scores to be settled after he took office, and there was no rush for the moment.

Therefore, Grezlov planned to join forces with several major factions at the Duma Congress today, to challenge the Ministry of Internal Affairs and formally start the accountability process, directly demanding that the Government dismiss Yefrogen from his position!

This was like slapping Medvedev in the face, forcing him to personally dismiss his staunch ally.

As long as it could be done, Medvedev’s reputation within the factions would be damaged, and his prestige would plummet – after all, who would dare to follow him wholeheartedly if he couldn’t even protect his closest confidants...

This approach actually also fitted Wang Ye’s interests because if Yefrogen were dismissed, the person likely to take his position would be the current First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Vladimir!

This meant that as Grezlov and Medvedev fought each other and both suffered losses, the one who would benefit most in the end would be Wang Ye...

The classic case of "When the snipe and the clam grapple, it is the fisherman who profits!"

In fact, Grezlov understood this principle, but he willingly did it because at this stage of the situation, he had no way out.

And letting Wang Ye benefit was far better than letting Medvedev’s side gain the upper hand!

After all, Wang Ye was also a friend with whom he had a good relationship, and his growing strength would not affect the general election situation.

Of course, once he won the election and took over the Kremlin, he might be troubled by the Duma and Wang Ye being too powerful, but those were problems for later. Right now, he couldn’t afford to consider so much – the most important thing was to secure the general election first!

The two happily reached a consensus in private, preparing to confront Yefrogen at the Duma Hearing, and if Medvedev dared to protect someone, they would not give him any face.

There are now three heavyweights in the Duma, in terms of official rank, they are Grezlov, Wang Ye, and Rilinov.

But when it comes to actual power and influence, it’s Wang Ye, Grezlov, and Rilinov.

However, no matter how you look at it, the three of them are currently on the same side, and Rilinov is even teaming up with Grezlov to participate in the election, so as long as Grezlov and Wang Ye have reached an agreement, the outcome of the hearing is virtually decided.

Not to mention Yefrogen just brought a couple of "fakes" to try to muddle through the problem, even if he really caught the gunmen, they wouldn’t let him get off easily this time...

...

On November 3rd, the Duma Building was bustling with activity early in the morning, with groups of Congressmen walking and discussing something.

Usually, the Duma Building wasn’t that lively. Today, everyone came to participate in a hearing, and as for the theme of the meeting, everyone already knew what it was – it was the focus of political discussions lately!

"This time, it’s really too much! Even our good-natured Duma Speaker nearly got assassinated, it’s simply... incomprehensible!

I feel that the public order in Moscow is even worse than it was a decade ago. At least back then, there were no shootings of high-level figures like the Duma Speaker."

"Exactly, in the past two years I’ve often told people that Moscow’s public order has improved a lot, but after this incident, it’s like a slap in my face."

"Heh, have you guys forgotten? The Minister at the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been changed. It’s true that the public order was getting better when Korokolli was in charge, but now that the new person has come in, it’s a different story."

"How could such a person be promoted to such an important position, just because he has a good relationship with someone?"

"Ah, there’s no helping it; who made him cling to such big coattails."

The Congressmen discussed and expressed their dissatisfaction, even though they weren’t necessarily on good terms with Grezlov.

But don’t forget, Grezlov is still the Duma Speaker, representing the face of the Duma. Shooting Grezlov isn’t just about him; it’s about the face of all Congressmen!

If they don’t teach those people a harsh lesson this time, wouldn’t anyone dare to challenge the Duma Members in the future, even risking the personal safety of the Congressmen...

So this time, everyone is united by a common hatred, not only to help Grezlov, but also to help themselves!
