Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 900 - 851: He Will Take Action

Chapter 900: Chapter 851: He Will Take Action

During the time on the plane, Wang Ye was not idle.

He was flipping through a thick folder in his hand, which contained the resumes of Ukraine’s political elite, pre-collected for him by Yelena.

From the president to the prime minister, to the Speaker and Vice Speaker, as well as the leaders of various factions.

Even the opposition figures with relatively high public prestige were included—all of them!

Because in Ukraine, next year the General Election would begin as well!

The incumbent, Gu Qima, had already served two terms, totaling ten years.

This guy was also quite a character.

In his decade of office, he had managed to find favor in all quarters, swinging back and forth, maintaining fairly good relations with both Russia and Europe and the United States.

And though the national economy was not great, at least there was still annual growth, which was passable.

If there was a flaw to be found, it was that during his tenure, numerous oligarchs had emerged, even more so than in Russia...

It was said that he had already announced he would not participate in next year’s election, nor endorse any "successor," instead leaving it to the major faction forces to freely compete. Whoever won did not matter to him anymore.

The candidates currently with the highest support were three: Yushchenko, Yanukovych, and Kimoshenko!

To put it simply, Yanukovych belonged to the Pro-Russian faction, while Yushchenko was Pro-American, and Kimoshenko had not shown any clear inclinations.

Before the visit, on behalf of the Kremlin, Gavriil had a conversation with Wang Ye.

He hinted that during this visit, he should try to create momentum for Yanukovych as much as possible, giving him advice and the like.

Because "he" hoped that Yanukovych would win next year’s election!

Wang Ye understood the hint and indicated that he would try his best to help Yanukovych.

But to be honest, the current situation was not optimistic.

According to the data, some parties, in order to help Yushchenko win, had already sent an enormous "advisory group" of more than two hundred people to Kiev to directly assume core roles in Yushchenko’s election team!

As for funding, there was no need to say more, as secret injections of cash had been made into the election accounts through various channels and funds.

The latest voter support rate investigated by the local media showed the two candidates neck and neck, too close to call. It was hard to say who would win the General Election next year.

Even the two candidates and the forces behind them probably had no assurance.

But Wang Ye knew!

Because in the memory of his "previous life," the 2005 Ukrainian General Election had left a deep impression.

Or rather, it was that year’s Ukraine, and because of certain events, suddenly became the focus of the whole world.

It was from that year that the "Orange Movement" became a synonym...

If it weren’t for Wang Ye’s intervention, the initial outcome of next year’s election would probably be Yanukovych’s victory. But Yushchenko would not concede defeat, or rather, some people behind him were unwilling to accept it.

A massive protest movement was sparked.

Under various pressures, the result of the first election was annulled, and another round was held.

This time, Yushchenko won...

Yanukovych was not satisfied either, but unfortunately, he did not have the same support as his opponent, so in the end, it came to nothing.

When Yushchenko took office, he angered both heaven and man.

The "brotherly" countries also fell out with each other, and their bond was gone.

It could be said that from the moment Yushchenko took office, Ukraine’s future fate had been sealed...

Oh, it’s worth mentioning that when Wang Ye came to visit, Yushchenko was serving as Ukraine’s prime minister—a political heavyweight not to be overlooked!

......

While reviewing the information and reminiscing, after finishing, Wang Ye closed the folder and became lost in thought.

To solve Ukraine’s election dilemma, merely supporting Yanukovych’s victory was not enough, because even without his support, Yanukovych would have won.

The key was to prevent Yushchenko from causing trouble after losing the election!

To achieve this, there were two possible approaches.

The first was to ensure Yanukovych’s victory was resounding, receiving a far higher percentage of the vote than his opponent!

This way Yushchenko would struggle to find a valid reason to cause trouble, or his reasons would be insufficient.

The second was to "cut off" the "invisible hand" behind Yushchenko!

That hand was reaching too far, lacking in decorum; this was not their domain...

Wang Ye did not understand why the Kremlin did not decisively intervene in his previous life.

Perhaps the Kremlin had not anticipated the seriousness of the situation.

It could also be that the Kremlin was itself facing an election and had no energy to focus here, with the desire but not the means.

It was also possible that the Kremlin had underestimated the determination and ruthlessness of its opponents, and by the time the situation blew up, it was too late!

But now it did not matter, because Wang Ye was here.

He would take action!

......

The silver-white jumbo jet landed at Kiev International Airport, and the cabin door opened as Wang Ye led the delegation members in preparation to disembark the plane.

Standing at the cabin door, Wang Ye saw the welcoming party below already arranged and ready.

Ukraine was taking Wang Ye’s visit very seriously, with a high level of reception!

According to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, for Wang Ye’s visit as the Vice Speaker, Ukraine only needed its Vice Speaker to meet him briefly.

It would even be acceptable for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to come to the airport for the reception.

But the problem was, Wang Ye had another identity.

Chairman of The National Foreign Affairs Committee and Chairman of the National Economic Affairs Committee!
