Chapter 547: Chapter 547: The Result Was Already Predetermined_1

Hearing the representative of the Energy Department on stage speaking confidently, brazenly slandering him.

Wang Ye showed no signs of panic, his face still adorned with a smile, seemingly listening attentively.

On the presidium, the eyes of several presidents and vice presidents were also focused on Wang Ye, but the expressions on their faces were not the same.

Grezlov was curious, he wanted to know how Wang Ye would respond to today’s situation.

This youngster has always performed exceptionally well, as if any difficult problem could be easily solved when it comes to him.

For example, the United Aviation Group, a big problem that no one dared to take on for so long.

But after he pushed it on Wang Ye, Wang Ye first injected capital into it and then helped to secure a big order, saving the group straight away!

This was indeed beyond Grezlov’s expectation.

Now, even though Grezlov could not figure out what Wang Ye could do to save the situation, he still held a glimmer of hope.

If Wang Ye could still turn the tide today, making a great comeback.

Then his future achievements are undoubtedly limitless, and he will not merely show admiration but will seriously consider some matters...

......

The ideas of Rilinov are quite simple.

Even though this oil and gas pipeline dispute has nothing to do with him, being purely a business matter between Wang Ye and the Yukos Group.

He did not stand idly by.

In this period, Wang Ye was eerily calm and not lobbying other congressmen, seemingly unconcerned.

But Rilinov has done a lot of work for Wang Ye privately!

For factional congressmen, Rilinov has already given his order, everyone must support Wang Ye!

At the time of voting, if it is found that someone had voted for Wang Ye’s opponent, then sorry, there won’t be a place for him within the faction in the future!

These words do seem a bit improper.

Even as the helmsman of the faction, he shouldn’t coerce its members, or else it might breed resentment and be detrimental to unity.

But Rilinov straightforwardly said so.

Because in his mind, this is not just about Wang Ye alone, but a battle between the third faction and the second faction!

Although Wang Ye did not hold any positions within the faction and had just joined.

But in the eyes of others, Wang Ye has indeed represented the Third Faction!

If he was to lose, it would mean the failure of the Third Faction!

In the Duma, the first faction is firmly seated at the top, with no faction able to challenge its position!

But between the second faction and the third faction, there has always been competition, because the gap between the two is not that big.

......

"Alright, the representative of the Ministry of Energy has made clear of the matter and the opinion of the Ministry of Energy. Now, we would like to invite the other party with a different opinion, that is, the joint representative of the Yukos Group and the Russian Gas Industry, Congressman Mikhail. Mikhail, please come up to the stage."

Grezlov announced calmly.

It was Wang Ye’s turn to perform, he had to go on stage to tell everyone about the opinions of Yukos and Russian Gas Industry, that is, the reasons why they insisted on the Anda Line and didn’t agree with the Anna Line!

This is actually just like in the court.

The "plaintiffs" and "defendants" appearing in court, with lawyers debating fiercely on their behalf.

And the congressmen present are the "jury".

Winning over more congressmen means getting more support votes.

And the final victory belongs to whoever!

The "plaintiff", that is, the Ministry of Energy has already made its appearance, now it’s "defendant" Wang Ye’s turn...

......

Wang Ye calmly stood up, first briefly sorting out his suit that had become a little wrinkled from sitting for a long time.

Then he took steps onto the presidium.

First, he nodded to the several chairmen and vice chairmen, then turned around, facing the hundreds of congressmen below.

He didn’t hastily start defending himself, but instead, with a smile on his face, he scanned around the meeting hall.

The first thing he said shocked the whole house.

"I won’t talk about the empty words of ’national interests’, but I would like to remind the Ministry of Energy of something, that the Anna Line scheme that you presented is illegal!"

There was a commotion below the stage!

Many people were staring at Wang Ye in disbelief, feeling incredulous.

This is a plan brought up by the Ministry of Energy!

How could this be illegal, given that it too is a state entity...

The representative of the Ministry of Energy on the side of the presidium got anxious instantly, abandoning all rule and decorum.

He stood up with a "swish", angrily saying: "Congressman Mikhail, please stop talking nonsense! I really don’t understand how a pipeline plan could be illegal. Can you tell me which law it violates?"

Just now, he gave Wang Ye the label of "disregarding national interests."

As a result, Wang Ye returned the favor and slapped a label of "illegal" on their department...

Moreover, this accusation is more serious.

After all, ’disregarding national interest’ is just a moral attack and does not cause any actual damage.

But ’illegal’ is different. If it is actually the case, then there are repercussions!

Wang Ye turned his head and looked at him calmly, with a smile on his face.

"In your eyes, there is only the money of Benzi Country, right? So did you have a legal expert thoroughly review it before passing this scheme?"

The representative of the Ministry of Energy was a little unsure of how to respond.

This plan was not proposed by their Ministry of Energy, but by the energy department of Benzi country when their Prime Minister visited!

How could it possibly be illegal...

No one would think in this direction, after all, it is a matter of negotiation at the highest level of the two countries, completely unrelated to ’illegal’!

His face sullen, he asked sternly: "Please, Congressman Mikhail, directly answer my question, what law has been violated?"

Just now, Wang Ye did not directly answer, but countered with an intimidating question, which made the representative doubtful.

He thought Wang Ye was playing tricks!

However, this time, Wang Ye didn’t avoid the question, and said loudly:

"This plan, violates the Natural Resources Protection Law!

I have consulted the Department of Natural Resources, and they clearly told me that because the pipeline of the Anna Line is less than 30 kilometers away from Lake Baikal, there is a very serious risk of leakage and pollution.

This is absolutely not allowed!

In addition, several states in the Lake Baikal drainage area have also discussed this matter at their state councils.

They have made resolutions, that is, they do not allow the execution of the Anna Line!"

Everyone was taken aback.

If what Wang Ye said is true, does it mean that this so-called vote decision, which has not even started yet, has already ended...

The result is already set, that is, there is no feasibility for the Anna Line from the beginning.

Whether from a legal or practical standpoint...
