Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1111: A Busy December_2

Seeing the reaction of the audience, Wang Ye reached for the microphone, his face filled with grief, and said:

"Alas, I truly did not expect, Minister Yefrogen, that you would do something so absurd!

This is simply an unprecedented scandal in our Russian political circle!

If there isn’t enough time, if it’s too late to catch the real culprit, you could have just told the truth. The Duma is not unreasonable; they might have given you more time to investigate the case.

But now...

I really don’t know what to say..."

Of course, Wang Ye’s words weren’t sincere; he knew more than anyone else!

Even this Delovich, who had been turned, was handled by Wang Ye’s confidante, Vladimir.

After following Yefrogen to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this guy felt untouchable and started acting recklessly, but once Vladimir got hold of his misconduct, he betrayed Yefrogen.

Because if he didn’t testify against Yefrogen today, he would have to go to court and end up in prison tomorrow!

Moreover, Vladimir promised him that as long as he testified in the Duma today, his past would be overlooked, and he would be transferred to a relaxed department with the same rank, where he could comfortably wait for his retirement and pension.

After weighing the options, he made the right choice. After all, he was just a minor character; getting caught up in a fight between two major players, preserving his life was the best outcome...

Grezlov angrily slammed the table and thundered, "Shameless! This is our Minister of Internal Affairs, with such a minister, no wonder the security situation has worsened lately!"

Rilinov immediately picked up the cue, "I propose that we immediately initiate a responsibility pursuit procedure and remove Yefrogen! Such a person should not sit in this position."

The three of them together directly set the tone.

Now, Yefrogen didn’t even have the energy to defend himself, he clearly understood, the trend was over, no need to struggle anymore.

On the other side, Medvedev and Gavriil, who were sitting in attendance, quietly left the venue, obviously, neither wanted to stay to see the final result, because the outcome was already determined!

The meeting ended, and all the Congressmen present at the Duma unanimously agreed to formally initiate the responsibility pursuit procedure, asking the Government to remove Yefrogen from his position and to bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

Because his actions involved not just dereliction of duty but also illegal activities!

Given the conclusive evidence, it was impossible for the Government to protect Yefrogen, and his career was effectively over!

Actually, Yefrogen and Wang Ye had no personal grudges; if it weren’t for the fact that Yefrogen was Medvedev’s right-hand man, he might not have faced such consequences.

But, there’s no helping it, this is politics...

Throughout the entire process, Wang Ye always stayed behind the scenes, it was Grezlov who coordinated the Congressmen, and Rilinov who turned Yefrogen’s confidant, all seemingly unrelated to him.

But without his support, clearly, Grezlov and Rilinov alone couldn’t have accomplished this.

Even if Grezlov holds a higher rank than him, when it comes to real power, he falls far short of Wang Ye.

Once the process is concluded, and Yefrogen steps down, Vladimir will rightfully take over, which essentially means Wang Ye has once again "secured" control over a key department!

The Ministry of Internal Affairs may not seem significant, but it’s actually very useful, even sometimes more so than key powerful agencies like the Ministry of Defense.

Because if the Ministry of Defense needs to get involved, that truly means big trouble...

After this incident, Grezlov’s side has completely turned against the Kremlin and Medvedev, and their differences have become irreconcilable.

The General Election has almost turned into a "life and death game", determining the superior and sorting life from death!

Whichever side loses, their fall from grace is predictable, and the winning side will likely not spare them...

Grezlov has openly declared within the Hilarwick Group that this faction no longer needs to exist, and he will truly break away with those who support him, forming a new faction.

This has caused a great shock within the Hilarwick Group, even affecting the entire Moscow political arena.

Although many people had already seen that due to its overly large size and mixed personnel, the Hilarwick Group has been on a downward trend for the past two years, showing signs of splitting.

But today, it has truly come to this step, and it was proposed by Grezlov, a veteran of the faction and Duma Speaker, which is truly shocking!

Regarding Grezlov’s actions, although the Kremlin was incredibly angry, they were helpless.

Because nominally, the Kremlin does not participate in any faction, nor are they members of the Hilarwick Group...

Now, Grezlov is following the proper procedure, taking a group of his supporters to break away from the faction and establish a new one, which is in accordance with the law and regulations, and there’s no way to stop it.

Because if you really talk about procedure, process, and regulations, Grezlov is the real expert, don’t forget what the primary duty of the Duma is!

...

In December, Wang Ye was extraordinarily busy.

On December 2nd, Duma Speaker Grezlov officially announced his resignation, and the general election officially began, now entering the "final sprint phase," and he must resign to devote all his energy and time to the election.

With his resignation, as the First Vice Speaker, Wang Ye has no choice but to temporarily take over as Speaker to maintain the normal operation of the Duma before the elections.

Additionally, the Hilarwick Group officially split, with nearly half of the people following Grezlov to leave the faction, they formed a new political party named "Just Russia"!

The original official name of the Hilarwick Group was "Unified Russia," and clearly, Grezlov’s choice of name was intended to oppose the Hilarwick Group directly.

After the departure of a large number of personnel, the Hilarwick Group was greatly weakened, but given its deep roots, it was still formidable.

Strictly speaking, it is still considered the First Faction in the Moscow political arena!

Of course, previously, Hilarwick Group was vastly ahead of other factions, but now, they are only slightly ahead.

As for which powers constitute the Second and Third Factions, it is still unclear.

Everything will have to wait until the general election and the Duma elections are over to be determined.

But clearly, after next year’s election cycles, there will be significant changes in the Moscow political arena, everything will be different!

...

Besides acting as Speaker, there is another important matter in December.

That is the hedge fund that Wang Ye spearheaded is now ready to be liquidated.

It’s also time for the "shareholders" to receive their dividends.

After nearly a year of operations, the fund, with an initial investment of one hundred billion US dollars, now has a total account balance of eight hundred and twenty billion US dollars!

In the second half of this year under Wang Ye’s guidance, the traders captured another opportunity to make a substantial profit.

By shorting gold and crude oil futures, they successfully achieved Wang Ye’s planned targets within the set timeframe.

Originally, Wang Ye had set two thresholds: the fund’s total amount reaching eight hundred billion, and the beginning of December.

Fortunately, by early December, the hedge fund’s total reached over eight hundred billion.

Wang Ye did not hesitate and immediately ordered to liquidate the positions!

After a series of complex financial operations, the actual amount transferred out was eight hundred billion; throughout the process, it cost nearly twenty billion US dollars...

This was only achieved with the joint effort of all the shareholders; otherwise, transferring such a massive amount of money would have been hellishly difficult.

Now, the money has been dispersed into tens of thousands of anonymous accounts in Swiss banks, thus all the shareholders eagerly gather in Moscow, ready to officially "divide the spoils"...
