Chapter 1450: Chapter 1125 Nationwide TV Speech

After what felt like an eternity, Wang Ye’s father finally asked with disbelief written all over his face: "Wang Ye... he’s really going to be the... that position?!"

It can’t really be blamed on him, especially since for generations in the Wang family, before Wang Ye, the most accomplished was him, reaching Deputy section level!

Other than that, they’re all just ordinary folks...

It was even thanks to the "poor peasant" household registration that Wang Ye’s father was able to leave the countryside and attend University.

Now suddenly someone is telling him that his son is going to sit in the "highest" position, and not just any country, but a Major Powers worldwide!

This made it really hard for him to accept...

But fortunately, because Wang Ye had been upfront with his parents about his experiences in Moscow, it served as preparation for today.

Otherwise, after hearing Wang Xueqing’s words, Wang Ye’s parents would have definitely thought this girl either had gone mad or was a scammer, and would have directly called the police!

Wang Xueqing laughed and said: "Not yet, he’s just running in the General Election now. However, his chances of winning are very high, but as long as things are not yet confirmed, there are always variables."

Wang Ye’s mother also came back to her senses and tentatively asked: "If Wang Ye really becomes that... that what, will it affect us? Why in the world has the country sent so many people to protect us, is someone trying to assassinate us? Oh, and is Wang Ye currently in danger?"

Clearly, she was recalling some scenes from TV series, where during the struggle for the throne, the princes would resort to any means possible – assassinations, poisonings, all too common!

Now that Wang Ye was participating in that General Election, it was pretty much like "competing for the throne", right?

And with the country specially sending people to protect them, it seemed as if the situation was incredibly perilous...

Initially, the father thought she was talking nonsense, about things like assassinations – such things were impossible. However, after thinking about it, he hadn’t participated in a presidential election either and had no understanding of these matters. Perhaps there really were dangers, so he chose to keep silent...

Hearing Wang Ye’s mother’s concerns, Wang Xueqing hurriedly explained:

"That won’t happen, please be assured.

Wang... I mean Mr. Mikhail’s status is very high, and with the strong security forces around him, there’s no chance of any personal safety issues.

Moreover, the protection provided for the two of you is not because someone is trying to assassinate you, but rather just in case."

In front of Wang Ye’s mother and father, Wang Xueqing was a bit unsure how to refer to Wang Ye – calling him by his name was certainly not okay, but Mr. Mikhail also felt a bit strange...

After much persuasion, she finally convinced Wang Ye’s parents that there was no danger to Wang Ye and nobody was trying to assassinate them either.

However, the news of Wang Ye soon participating in the General Election, and even quickly assuming the presidency, was indeed too shocking; who knows how long it would take for the parents to digest this information...

...

Wang Ye was unaware of his parents’ situation because they knew their son was recently very busy, so they did not call to disturb him.

After feverish preparations over the past few days, all procedures were completed, and another round of the General Election commenced.

With the previous two rounds of elections laying the groundwork, there was almost no need for re-preparation – polling stations, organizing groups, personnel, etc., were all ready to go.

Even the voters, after going through two rounds of voting, had become quite familiar with how and where to vote...

There weren’t many candidates in this round of the election; besides Wang Ye, there were three others who had been eliminated in the first round of the election.

Actually, these three didn’t even want to participate at all. Everyone knew that the so-called new round of elections was just to clear legal obstacles for Mikhail’s accession to the Kremlin; no one could really compete with him.

Let alone fair competition, even if you wanted to pull off some sneaky tricks, there was no chance now – haven’t you seen the Duma, Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Safety Bureau all busy with something these past days?

Naturally, no one was willing to engage in thankless tasks.

However, after Wang Ye met with each of them separately and "gently persuaded" them, all three agreed readily to join Wang Ye in the election.

The outcome didn’t matter, participation was what counted!

On the evening before the official start of the General Election, Wang Ye made an important TV Speech that was broadcast live on nationwide TV news programs, big and small.

Through this little detail, one could discern the "terrifying" strength Wang Ye held now!

You should know that even when the Kremlin wanted to push Medvedev into power, they never managed to get all the TV stations nationwide to broadcast his interview program during the same prime time slot.

But Wang Ye did it effortlessly...

...

At seven o’clock in the evening prime time, the TV screens across the nation all changed to a single image – Wang Ye’s figure appeared on the TVs of millions of families.

Tonight, he was dressed in a dark, tailored Suit, sitting in his office at the Duma, with the National Flag displayed next to his desk, and the golden, glittery, giant National Emblem on the wall behind him – the scene was solemn and dignified.

Wang Ye sat upright, resolute, and began his speech:

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
