Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 1460 - 1130 Federal Security Conference

Chapter 1460: Chapter 1130 Federal Security Conference

Don’t think that Anton and his team’s display of loyalty seems a bit exaggerated, or deliberately "acting." In reality, this truly reflects their innermost thoughts!

Including Anton, everyone in the Tsar’s Guard has a military background. They had been discharged during the major military downsizing, experiencing quite straitened circumstances before joining the Tsar’s Guard.

It can be said that it was Wang Ye who provided funds to establish the Tsar’s Guard, offering them job opportunities and better living conditions.

If it were just that, they would still be grateful to Wang Ye but wouldn’t necessarily express their willingness to sacrifice their lives for him in person. Of course, if Wang Ye were indeed in danger, they would probably still be willing to lay down their lives.

Today, Wang Ye suddenly announced that he would transfer them all to the National Guard, which meant something significant to these former soldiers, and each one of them was well aware of what it implied.

That is, from now on, not only will they no longer have to fight on the frontlines of the battlefield, living days without knowing if they’ll see tomorrow!

Although none of those present were afraid of death, who wouldn’t want to live many more years...

Beyond that, Wang Ye also granted them identity and status!

The National Guard, which can be said to be the bona fide "Imperial Guard," stands above all sibling units.

Enjoying the best treatment, equipped with the finest gear, appearing in the most eye-catching events, protecting the most important people...

Moreover, their ranks are high. The managers of the Tsar’s Guard present here, after "regularization," would at least mix into ranks like "Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel," and Anton, the highest among them, might even be directly referred to as "General"...

For someone with a military background, this is surely the biggest dream of their lifetime – without a doubt!

Wang Ye had also contemplated about incorporating the Tsar’s Guard.

This newly established security company was essentially his "direct line of troops," wholly loyal to him. Therefore, it was perfect to incorporate them into the National Guard once he assumed power.

He was soon going to take over the military power from his father-in-law, so this could be considered a part of his power too!

With nearly ten thousand elite troops for protection, Wang Ye believed that at least in Moscow, there should be no one daring to harbor any ill intentions.

After all, power grows out of the barrel of a gun. To have a secure position, one must firmly control several Power Departments, and in fact, Wang Ye had started preparing long ago.

The current Power Departments were either on good terms with him like Shao Yigu or already part of the same faction as Korokolli and his staunch confidant Vladimir!

Coupled with the Tsar’s Guard, which would soon be reorganized into the National Guard, Wang Ye felt that things should be secure.

In fact, Wang Ye felt that he was now the true representative of the Hilarwick Group, as the term itself conveyed the meaning of powerful institutions, including departments like the Ministry of Defense, Safety Bureau, Ministry of Internal Affairs, among others.

And now, these Power Departments had almost entirely fallen into his hands; the original Hilarwick Group was, in essence, name only...

Since these powerful institutions were already under Wang Ye’s control, why then would he need to create a new powerful institution, that is, the National Guard?

Perhaps the answer to this question is known only to Wang Ye himself!

...

One day at the end of February, an important meeting was convened in a large Conference Hall in the Kremlin.

The attendees were all members of the Federal Security Conference, including Medvedev, Grezlov, the Director of the Federal Presidential Affairs Office and Chief of the Presidential Administration Gavriil, Minister of Defense Shao Yigu, Minister of Internal Affairs Vladimir, Director of the Safety Bureau Korokolli, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and others - in total eleven people.

Although Medvedev and Grezlov had resigned from their respective Prime Minister and Duma Speaker positions, they still retained their membership in the Federal Security Conference, so they were entitled to attend today’s meeting.

Speaking of the Federal Security Conference, this too is a quite important department, which, in a way, could be seen as analogous to the military committees of certain countries.

Traditionally, the charmain of the Federal Security Conference is personally taken on by the Kremlin, while the vice chairman could be anyone – perhaps the Prime Minister, the Senate President, or even the Duma Speaker.

However, this hardly matters because having a "vice" in front of a position, especially in such an institution, is truly just a form of honor.

One can understand what kind of department it is by looking at the duties and functions of the Federal Security Conference.

One, to provide all necessary conditions for the exercise of national security powers by the President of the Federation.

Two, to develop national security policies that ensure the security of the country and supervise their implementation.

Three, to predict, identify, analyze, and assess threats to national security, evaluate the risk of war and military threats, and develop measures to eliminate dangers and threats.

Four, to provide the President of the Federation with recommendations on the following: measures to prevent and eliminate emergency situations as well as overcome their consequences; to employ special economic measures to ensure national security; to implement, extend, and revoke a state of emergency, to implement or repeal military conditions; to reorganize existing national security agencies, to establish new national agencies in this field; to approve and revise the national security strategy of the Russian Federation and other concepts and doctrines in the field of national security and defense.

Five, to formulate the basic guidelines of the country’s foreign policy and military policy.
