Chapter 1454: Chapter 1127: Too Much Power (Thanks to the leader of "愿平生烛光窗影不厌" for the reward)

This General Election in Russia was not only closely watched domestically, but even more so internationally!

The election process was too twisty and full of gimmicks.

Moreover, the candidate who appeared to be winning the election was Wang Ye, a young man of only 26, which sparked even more interest worldwide.

Although Russia has been a bit "down and out" these years, it is still a major power, and the prospect that a country like this might be steered by a young man in his twenties sounds a bit far-fetched...

Originally, Wang Ye was indeed well-known domestically within Russia, and quite famous throughout Eastern Europe, but globally, his influence was not that substantial.

After all, he had only served as Deputy Speaker of the Duma, with his work mostly limited to domestic or neighboring countries, so major foreign media rarely focused on politicians of his rank.

Since Russia’s "voice" has been quite muted in recent years, distancing itself from the center of the world stage, foreign media seldom reported news from Russia, and if they did, they usually paid more attention to the Kremlin.

At the start of the election, quite a few foreign media began tracking and speculating who would win.

Obviously, most media favored Medvedev, the "rising star".

Because he was already serving as the Prime Minister and his Term in recent years had been good economically, coupled with strong support from the Kremlin, foreign media thought his chances of winning were very high!

However, a series of events that followed confused foreign media.

Three candidates tied in the first round, necessitating a "tiebreaker"!

Election fraud!

A turn of events!

All three candidates disqualified from the election!

Mikhail steps in amidst crisis to participate in the election!

The new round of General Election started, and on the first day, he almost gained 100 percent support...

Although competitions are common in national elections, such a dramatic and bizarre election like this in Russia was rare, and the drama could be directly made into a TV series!

But no matter what, one thing is now certain, the next Kremlin leader will most likely be the exceptional 26-year-old Mikhail!

No exaggeration, the leader of a country like Russia can influence regional and even global situation, being an extremely important matter.

Therefore, foreign media swarmed in, wanting to uncover the "story" behind how Mikhail managed to "secure" the election with overwhelming advantage, his governing philosophy, and the potential global impact after he takes office...

As media reporters dug deeper, Wang Ye’s previous achievements also appeared on major media platforms worldwide, becoming known to the global populace.

Of course, what was exposed were mostly Wang Ye’s remarkable achievements in the business and political world, such as the "China-Russia Century Oil and Gas Contract," "Massive Infrastructure," "Economic Cooperation Organization," "Industrial Fund," "Affordable Housing" and more...

The New York Times published a commentary article on the front page headline on February 3, titled "A 26-year-old Rising Star Politician, What Will He Bring to the World".

It detailed Wang Ye’s bio, highlighting his Russian-Chinese mixed heritage, his parents’ death at a young age, his oligarch uncle, his displayed business talents, heading the century oil and gas negotiations, acquiring Siberian Oil, starting as a Congressman, rapid rise, leading accession negotiations...

They gave Wang Ye a high appraisal, considering him as a politician with a global perspective and long-term vision, performing exceptionally well in both economic and diplomatic fields, and believed that Russia’s overall strength would climb a notch after he assumes office!

Of course, it is regrettable that this rising star politician seems not to have shown his stance towards the United States but has spent more energy and time on regional politics and economics in Eastern Europe.

Once he takes office, he will need to face a bigger stage, and how he will perform remains to be observed...

Other media also had various articles; more formal and serious media comprehensively introduced Wang Ye’s achievements and governance policies, while entertainment-oriented media delighted in Wang Ye’s tremendously wealthy status and various small scandals.

Of course, in Europe and the United States, such scandals are hardly considered a negative; in some ways, they could even be seen as a plus, indicating Wang Ye had a lot of charm...

Regarding these external reports, Wang Ye did not pay attention.

Because from the moment he stepped forward, he knew that from now on, he was almost living under the spotlight, and once he officially assumed office, media coverage of all sorts would increase even more, even observing every move he made under a magnifying glass.

Facing his father-in-law’s statement "I am ready," was not just talk; Wang Ye was truly prepared in all aspects!

...

As everyone expected, this General Election concluded in just three days.

On the evening of February 4, all polling stations across the country closed, and the votes began to be counted overnight.

Although the statistics were not immediately available, everyone knew the result was absolutely without suspense, Mikhail would definitely win by a large margin.
