Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 1442 - 1121 I Am Ready

Chapter 1442: Chapter 1121 I Am Ready

The Chief Justice had just finished speaking when Rossiyana eagerly began, "If it’s Misha... Mikhail, then I support him unconditionally! He truly is the most suitable candidate, without a doubt."

Of course, she supported Wang Ye because if Wang Ye were elected, it wouldn’t be much different from her own election.

Now that she no longer had the chance to continue in the General Election, the best outcome for Rossiyana was for Wang Ye to "take over."

The reason she hadn’t been the first to jump out in support was simply because of her relationship with Wang Ye; it wouldn’t look good to be too eager...

By now, Rilinov, Korokolli, Vladimir, Grezlov, and Rossiyana—these five people had clearly expressed their support for Wang Ye to step forward in the General Election.

Although the Chief Justice hadn’t explicitly supported him, from his words, it was clear he wasn’t opposed.

The remaining few immediately felt a significant pressure...

Removing Wang Ye himself from the equation, that leaves just Father-in-law, Gavriil, Medvedev, and Shao Yigu—four people.

The situation was quite delicate.

If one were to carefully analyze the current situation in the Moscow political arena, it could be divided into several major factions.

The First Faction, also the most powerful, is led by Father-in-law, part of the split Hilarwick Group, naturally represented by Father-in-law, Medvedev, Shao Yigu, and Gavriil.

The Second Faction, undoubtedly, is headed by Wang Ye with the Duma Faction. This faction is somewhat complex, comprising Wang Ye’s own party, some from the original Moscow Faction who have "defected," members of the new faction formed by Khodorkovsky, and even some original Duma Members of the Hilarwick Group.

Core figures in this faction include Wang Ye, Rilinov, Korokolli, and Vladimir.

It could be said that in recent years, Wang Ye’s strength has grown too rapidly; many have sided with him, giving a sense as if he is on the rise.

The Third Faction is led by Grezlov, a split from the original Hilarwick Group.

The Fourth Faction is Rossiyana’s Royalist Party...

Besides, there are neutral figures like the Chief Justice who don’t belong to any faction but are a force not to be underestimated.

...

Having understood the factional forces within the political arena, the meeting has taken on a subtle air.

Except for the Kremlin Faction, all other factions have now united, clearly declaring their support for Wang Ye to "come out of retirement" and turn things around!

If comparing the individual factions, aside from Wang Ye’s ability to compete with the Kremlin, the other factions fall far short.

But if all other factions unite, even a powerful Kremlin wouldn’t dare provoke public outrage...

Wang Ye looked troubled, his lips moved a few times, but he said nothing.

It seemed he wanted to refuse, but couldn’t bear to disappoint everyone...

Sitting at the head of the meeting table, Father-in-law expressionlessly sipped his coffee, Medvedev looked around cluelessly, seemingly unaware of why the situation had suddenly shifted.

Today’s meeting was supposed to discuss election fraud, how had it suddenly turned into so many people jointly recommending Mikhail for the Kremlin position!

Shao Yigu and Gavriil exchanged silent glances; it could be said that the other four who hadn’t yet stated their positions probably shared similar thoughts.

In principle, they shouldn’t approve of the suggestion for Wang Ye to ascend, as Wang Ye wasn’t a member of their Hilarwick Group, and considering factional interests, they shouldn’t just disapprove but should try to stop it!

However, from a personal standpoint, they were actually pleased to see Wang Ye ascend; privately, they got along very well with Wang Ye, and if Wang Ye were successful in ascending, they wouldn’t be let down.

Even compared to Medvedev ascending, their hearts leaned more towards Wang Ye...

It’s understandable— as the saying goes, "A new emperor brings his own courtiers." Once Medvedev ascends, he would likely try to position his confidants in significant roles, potentially worsening the situation for original "beneficiaries" like Gavriil and Shao Yigu.

But if Wang Ye were to ascend, it would mean the current Kremlin and Medvedev would no longer occupy significant positions, their core status within the original Hilarwick Group would be shaken, and Gavriil and Shao Yigu might become representative figures of the Hilarwick Group!

That also provides a "united front" value; both publicly and privately, Wang Ye would likely try to win them over, rather than suppress them...

...

After the first few had spoken, silence began in the Meeting Room, the atmosphere growing somewhat heavy.

Shao Yigu hesitated a moment, then finally, with resolve, began to speak.

"I think...

Rilinov’s proposal is reasonable!

Considering all aspects, Mikhail is currently the best, even the only choice.

After much thought, I can’t think of anyone else more suitable.

So, I also support this proposal!"
