Chapter 366: Chapter 366: The Nation Has Hope, The Country Has Strength_1

Today, the real intention behind Wang Ye’s discussion with Gavriil was to convey his thoughts to The Emperor through Gavriil!

Because the ultimate decision maker is not Gavriil, but The Emperor.

Wang Ye also believes that even though The Emperor, a strategic mastermind, might still harbor illusions about The West.

He should still have a backup plan at hand!

The things Wang Ye plans to do should please The Emperor, and therefore should receive his support!

...

Sure enough, the next morning after Wang Ye had dinner with Gavriil.

While Wang Ye was discussing the grand opening of the Xiao Ying Gambling Center with Yuri, Kaja, and others, Gavriil called him from the Kremlin.

"Misha, I told The Emperor about our conversation last night, and he was very impressed with your ideas.

You can mine the gold in Chukotka without worry, but don’t pocket the money you make. Instead, genuinely invest it in the Crimea Peninsula.

Most people on that peninsula are Russians, and their lives are indeed quite difficult.

No matter how things change in the future, having a Russian company invest locally and bring better lives to the people will surely be remembered." Gavriil further instructed Wang Ye during the call.

Gavriil listened attentively and nodded along while Wang Ye reassured him by saying, "Don’t worry, Uncle, I know what to do. Just wait, you’ll hear big news soon!"

Now that he has the support from the Kremlin, Wang Ye can move forward boldly.

He already had a detailed plan in his mind, but he did not yet have enough money at hand, so he had been hesitating to execute it.

Now, with the goldmine in Chukotka and the support of The Emperor, Wang Ye has nothing to fear!

......

On December 5, the new Duma member election officially began.

Voting started in each city and region.

Wang Ye returned to Chukotka once again. After all, the final result is about to be announced, and as a candidate, he must be present.

In Russia, there are two origins for Duma members, one is directly allocated proportionally to each party.

However, the internal competition within parties is fierce, favoring the nurturing of veterans, which is why Wang Ye did not consider this route when he decided to run in the election.

The other way is through public voting!

The quota is assigned by the population of each region, then directly elected.

While Chukotka has a small population, its large area grants it two public seats in the Duma.

Wang Ye is competing for one of them!

...

The benefit of a small population is that the voting process can be swift.

In just one day, voting in all towns in Chukotka was completed, while in other regions, voting may have just begun...

Inside the Chukotka Government Building, under the supervision of the National Election Commission staff, the voting results began to unveil.

This rare occasion drew quite a number of media reporters to Chukotka.

As the tallying process approached its end, Wang Ye was already leading by a significant margin and was undisputedly elected as a new national Duma member!

The moment the result was announced, A Bu accompanied Wang Ye and another elected member to the administrative hall to prepare for the press conference.

Thunderous applause filled the room as the staff and media reporters on-site congratulated both elected members.

Both Wang Ye and the other elected member were beaming, continuously waving at the crowd.

The other elected member was a well-known entrepreneur in the region, but he was already in his forties.

Moreover, his image fell far short of Wang Ye’s....

Therefore, within the administrative hall, all eyes were on Wang Ye!

Because at this moment, this young man named "Mikhail" has set a new record.

That is, the youngest Duma member in Russian history...

According to the birth date listed on Mikhail’s passport, he is only twenty this year!

A Bu was the first to take the stage, congratulating the two elected members. He said with a smiling face: "These two members are chosen by the people of Chukotka, through their own votes! They also represent the public opinion of Chukotka! Ukof is a reputable entrepreneur in Chukotka, who is kind-hearted and treats his employees like family members. His election will undoubtedly boost the commercial development in Chukotka.

And for Mikhail, being the youngest Duma member represents the finest young generation of Chukotka!

Through him, not only can the Duma understand the thoughts of the young generation in Chukotka, but also those of the entire Russian youth.

I hope they can both fulfil their duties as Duma members and do their best to help the people of Chukotka..."

After he finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause, followed by Ukof taking the stage for his speech.

However, the middle-aged man, who had a friendly face, was somewhat inarticulate. He stuttered a few words on stage, his face flushed red, looking quite tormented.

Obviously, the attention of the numerous media reporters was not focused on him.

Everyone’s focus was on Mikhail!

The youngest Duma member...

Walking to the center of the hall with a smile, Wang Ye first casually greeted everyone.

As soon as he stood there, he outshone Ukof from earlier.

Young, handsome, tall and sturdy, well-dressed...

This wasn’t the traditional image of potbellied Duma members, but that of an idol-like star!

And so, as soon as he stood there, the flash of the camera did not stop.

The reporters’ cameras continuously captured every movement and expression of Wang Ye like their film was free.

After a while, when the flashing subsided, Wang Ye began to speak: "I am honored to have won this election, which indicates that the people of Chukotka generally agree with my campaign policy."

And what was his campaign policy?

Perhaps it was free Vodka...

Of course, the other part of it was his promise to the people to provide more job opportunities, better benefits, and improved infrastructure!

Wang Ye continued: "Our country has seen both glory and low points. The past decade may have been the most difficult time for the whole country and all its people!"

His words resonated with everyone present, except for A Bu...

Most ordinary people did not live well in recent years, but there were a few individuals like A Bu, who rose dramatically during this period!

Without waiting for the reaction below, Wang Ye raised his voice and, swinging his fist, said passionately: "However, I always have complete faith in our country!"

"As long as we, the people, possess ideals and beliefs, then our nation has hope, and our country is powerful!"
