Chapter 1461: Chapter 1130 Federal Security Conference_2

Six, coordinate the efforts of federal and federal subject administrative authorities in executing resolutions related to national security issued by the President of the Federation.

Seven, assess the performance of federal administrative authorities in ensuring national security, and formulate evaluation standards and indicators.

...

To put it bluntly, this department was set up for the Kremlin to conveniently control military power!

At today’s meeting, the father-in-law intends to hand over the chairmanship of the Federal Security Conference to Wang Ye. This is also one of the most important parts of the job handover between the two before Wang Ye officially takes office!

Inside the meeting room, everyone found seats along the large, long conference table. The number of people was small, the table wide and long, with small flags and flowers placed in the center, and people familiarly found their own places to sit according to their positions and seniority.

For someone like Vladimir, who had just taken office not long ago and didn’t have as much actual power as others, his seat was naturally at the outermost...

And Grezlov and Gavriil were seated at the most front positions.

Of course, the father-in-law’s place was still empty, as the important figures always appear last.

Taking advantage of the lull before the meeting, some committee members were whispering to each other while others were resting with their eyes closed, saying nothing.

Vladimir was sitting next to Korokolli and he turned his head to ask in a low voice, "The meeting today is to hand the position over to the Boss, right?"

Privately, Vladimir liked to call Wang Ye "Boss," and of course, Korokolli understood what he meant.

He nodded slightly, also speaking in a low voice, "Yes, according to the schedule it’s time for the handover, especially since the formal inauguration ceremony will take place in a few days. The position must be handed over before the inauguration ceremony, it’s just a matter of whether today is just a formality or if there are other matters to discuss."

Vladimir chuckled with a happy expression, saying, "Given the Boss’s style of doing things, I guess he’s going to light three fires as the new official! It’s just a question of which department will get burned this time. Anyway, our Ministry of Internal Affairs has already been reorganized two or three times, it should be your turn now."

Indeed, when Wang Ye served as Vice Speaker, he had already reorganized the Police System.

It was during those few rounds of reorganization that Vladimir had stood out and seized the opportunity to rise in rank!

While the two were quietly conversing, the meeting room door was pushed open by the guards, and the father-in-law and Wang Ye walked in one after the other.

All the people in the meeting room immediately stood up in unison.

The father-in-law walked to the front end of the long conference table and didn’t sit down, but instead announced very straightforwardly: "Effective immediately, I resign from the position of Chairman of the Federal Security Committee, and Mikhail will take over. Today’s meeting will also be chaired by Mikhail."

Saying this, he smiled and gesturally invited Wang Ye to take the primary seat.

Wang Ye, with a smile, scanned the conference hall and nodded to everyone.

Warm applause immediately filled the meeting room.

During the applause, the father-in-law turned and walked out of the meeting room; this place no longer had a spot for him...

...

Watching the father-in-law leave, the guards closed the doors of the meeting room, and then Wang Ye sat down and signaled for everyone else to sit as well.

After watching everyone settle into their seats, Wang Ye spoke in a measured tone, "Everyone here is already an old acquaintance of mine, so I presume there’s no need for any self-introduction."

Although Wang Ye’s joke wasn’t particularly funny, there was still a smattering of light laughter in the meeting room.

Wang Ye continued, "Today is my first time chairing the Federal Security Conference. Everyone’s time is precious, so let’s not dwell on the introductions and directly discuss the key issue.

With the need for change in the international and domestic situation, I propose the establishment of a new military institution, which is the Interior Troops, tentatively named the Federal National Guards Command.

The scope of its powers includes...

Of course, this proposal is still up for internal discussion, and its official implementation will wait until after the inauguration ceremony.

Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts."

Wang Ye briefly explained his idea and then turned his head and waved at the staff standing behind him. Immediately, the staff brought over a stack of folders and distributed them to the committee members present.

Inside the folders was a detailed proposal drafted by Wang Ye regarding the establishment of the "Federal National Guards Command."

It included the positioning of its departmental level, staff composition, and the scope of authority, among other aspects.

Clearly, this proposal was not some spur-of-the-moment inspiration from Wang Ye, but rather the result of thorough consideration.

The attendees in the meeting room looked at one another, aware that Wang Ye was known for decisive action and was expected to make big moves upon taking office.

But no one had anticipated that before even officially taking office, Wang Ye’s first move would be such a groundbreaking proposal!

After all, this so-called Imperial Guard General Administration was no ordinary institution. Just by its name, it was evident that it would at least be on an equal footing with powerful departments like the Safety Bureau!

In the political arena, power is like a big cake—it’s not unlimited. Everyone had tacitly divided the cake amongst themselves before, and at most, they might take a larger or smaller piece from each other.

Now, with the sudden addition of a major department, it was certain to be staffed with Wang Ye’s own trusted personnel, effectively cutting away a large piece from the original cake!

How many factional forces’ pieces of the cake would this touch upon...

Did Wang Ye really have the confidence to make all factions firmly stand by his side?

...

Silence fell in the conference hall as everyone lowered their heads to examine the materials distributed, though it was obvious from their increasingly furrowed brows that some were perturbed.

This even included Vladimir!

After a good while, Vladimir was the first who couldn’t hold back and took the initiative to speak up: "Chairman Mikhail, I see that this proposal mentions the removal of the National Guard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and its incorporation into the Imperial Guard General Administration?"

No wonder he was the first to be restless—according to the proposal, this equated to slicing away a significant portion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ power.

Even if Vladimir was "loyal," he couldn’t just remain silent; otherwise, he would have no way to justify this to his department’s Davarichs...

Wang Ye nodded and answered succinctly: "Yes, the primary responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be focused on social security, without the need to retain the National Guard—this would lead to confusion of duties and the Guard’s effectiveness would not be fully realized."

Vladimir looked at Wang Ye with a frown, struggling to speak.

He thought that with Wang Ye’s rise to power, his good days were about to come.

Who knew that the Boss would be the first to "operate" on him...

Wang Ye, of course, understood Vladimir’s thoughts and said with a slight smile, "Actually, establishing the Federal National Guards Command is just the first step; there will be other departmental adjustments to follow. For instance, I plan to revoke the independent federal agency status of the Federal Narcotics Regulatory Agency and the Federal Immigration Bureau, and have them both report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Vladimir’s eyes immediately lit up, and his distressed expression instantly vanished!

He blurted out: "This proposal is good. I support it!"

Wang Ye had given him a beating with the stick and now offered him not one, but two sweet dates!

By integrating two departments with no small scope of authority into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this would be much larger than the piece of the cake "cut" away by the National Guard. Naturally, Vladimir supported it.

With this, Vladimir no longer had any problems and he expressed his firm support for Chairman Mikhail’s proposal, deeming the establishment of the Federal National Guards Command necessary and urgent!

However, Medvedev had something else to say.

He asked with furrowed brows: "I have no issues with the rest, but establishing such a military-oriented department will definitely require a massive amount of funding to support, won’t it? You know as well, Mikhail, although our Economic Development has been rapid in recent years, the places needing funding are even more plentiful. Where will we squeeze out such a substantial sum of money for this new department?"

This question was indeed valid. According to Wang Ye’s proposal, the newly established Federal National Guards Command was not just any military institution, but one that focused more on "special operations"!

Everyone is also clear that the military is a "gold-devouring beast," and if you associate it with words such as "special," "Mechanical," and "Intelligent," the needed funding would be even greater.

The country’s Finance has only so much money each year—already allocated to its respective needs—there was simply no way to squeeze out a large sum for this new department!
