Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 860 Whimsical
But Wang Ye couldn't be blamed for this. In this kind of election, being on stage naturally had many advantages.

Especially in a political system like Da Mao, the government still has a lot of media and economic resources.

Then the Kremlin can use these resources to create momentum for themselves!

Perhaps Khovchenko needs to spend a lot of money to achieve the publicity effect, but the Kremlin only needs one piece of news and the introduction of a policy, and it can be easily achieved.

As Hovchenko just said, the deployment of weapons in Kaliningrad was originally a crisis, but after Wang Ye insisted and made a strong counterattack, it turned into a good thing.

Many ordinary people believe that the current Kremlin is decisive in his actions and has a tough attitude, which is in line with Lao Maozi's "aesthetics".

So after that incident, the Kremlin's approval rating began to soar.

The recent big infrastructure plan has the same effect...

Therefore, after the latest poll results came out, Hovchenko didn't want to "play" immediately!

What's the point of insisting on running for the election? In the end, it's just like a "playing tricks" clown!

He came to Wang Ye today because he wanted to hear Wang Ye's opinion, and he would admit defeat quickly, which might save a lot of trouble.

…………

After figuring out what Hovchenko meant, Wang Ye frowned and thought about it.

Then he shook his head and said, "My suggestion is, Uncle, you continue to participate in the election. But don't expect anything about the results of the election. It's better to practice and study. After all, you will also be in politics in the future. If you can participate in a general election , and the second most votes, this is also a good qualification!"

Hovchenko smiled wryly: "There are only two candidates, what's the point of being second?"

"No, no, at the beginning, there were several people who wanted to participate in the election, but they didn't even make it to the finals. Uncle, you can make it to the finals, which has already explained a lot of problems. Believe me, the official election will be held soon. Now, what should you do, but remember one thing, don't attack the Kremlin again, no matter whether it is people or policies! If this is the case, it will only benefit and not harm your future development!" Wang Ye said seriously.

This is definitely what he said from the bottom of his heart.

It was because this matter involved Hovchenko's fate that Wang Ye tried his best to "rescue" him.

At this point today, it can be said that Wang Ye has almost untied that "dead knot", only the last step...

Wang Ye believed that after the latest poll results came out, the Kremlin should no longer regard Khovchenko as a real competitor, and would no longer consider killing him.

On the contrary, the Kremlin is happy to see the addition of such an "opposition person" who has a moderate support rate but absolutely does not threaten his own status.

After all, it is a "free and democratic" country. If there is no voice of opposition, it will not look good.

Now this situation happens to be the best!

Based on this consideration, the Kremlin may even secretly support Khovchenko, in case he becomes disheartened and no longer participates in politics.

If Hovchenko really withdraws, it will be a "loss" for the Kremlin.

Because this "vacancy" in the opposition will definitely need to be filled by someone, and when the next candidate appears, there may be another battle between dragons and tigers.

At that time, the situation in the Kremlin may not be as good as it is at this stage!

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Wang Ye persuaded Hovchenko to participate in the election step by step. The result is already doomed anyway, so there is no pressure, just keep a normal mind.

But he didn't forget to remind Hovchenko that since he has no hope of winning the election, he might as well be a "good guy" and stop attacking his opponents, so that everyone can compete peacefully and keep a good relationship...

…………

After listening to Wang Ye's persuasion, Hovchenko nodded thoughtfully.

He smiled and said, "Hey, tell me, if I lose the election, wouldn't I be unemployed for the next few years? If I had known today, I might as well have served in the Duma. Given the number of seats in our faction Look, at least I can be the deputy speaker and the director of an important committee."

Russia's political system is more complicated, and it can be said that it is different from most countries in the world.

According to the constitution, it is a multi-party system, but judging from the political structure and actual situation, it is a very unique "party politics without a ruling party"...

This word sounds like a mouthful. Simply put, it means that the Kremlin belongs to the "super faction"!
Neither he nor his predecessor belonged to any faction, but were directly elected by the people.

Therefore, after winning the election, when the cabinet is formed, the Kremlin will nominate candidates for the General Liberation, and the Duma will vote for approval.

Then the candidates for the heads of other departments were discussed by the Kremlin and the government.

Among them, including the general, as well as the heads of various departments, did not consider his factional background, only whether he was suitable and capable enough.

Any faction is possible...

Of course, under normal circumstances, you must be selected from the factions that support you, you can't help people from the opposing factions!
Therefore, although Hovchenko spent huge sums of money to form a new faction in order to participate in this general election.

But when the general election really starts, he will withdraw from the faction and run as a "non-factional".

Even if he is competent, it is impossible to appoint people from only one faction to serve in the government. Instead, he will comprehensively measure and select outstanding people from various factions to take up important positions.

Even most of the time, the heads of various government departments will not change easily, and will only be changed when necessary.

To put it simply, the political structure at the top of Da Mao is like "the West".

And its middle and lower structure, like "Oriental"...

…………

"It's too late for you...to join the Duma, or..."

As he was talking, a flash of light flashed in Wang Ye's mind, and he thought of a good idea!

However, this matter is a bit difficult to do, and it still needs to be pondered...

"What else?" Hovchenko was still waiting for him to continue with a blank expression.

Wang Ye grinned, and said mysteriously: "It's not sure yet, you can participate in the election first, and I will see how the situation is after a while, and I will tell you when it is almost done."

Hovchenko shook his head helplessly, but he didn't have to do something.

At worst, continue to engage in his public welfare undertakings.

To be honest, the reason why he had such a high approval rate a while ago is absolutely inseparable from his persistence in doing public welfare.

Of course, it is also because many media are overwhelmingly promoting his charity work...

The reason why Wang Ye didn't tell him now was also because it was more troublesome to operate, and the initiative was not in his hands, the key depended on Ke Gong's thoughts.

So let's not talk about it at all, and tell Hovchenko when the help is almost done.

…………

The time has entered July, and the general election has officially kicked off.

Hovchenko really listened to Wang Ye's suggestion. Anyway, the hope of turning the tables is very slim, and he no longer "resists".

So it is rare that the two opponents became harmonious in the final stage of the election.

Although it is not enough to say that they flatter each other, at least they no longer attack each other.

Occasionally, I will say a sentence or two of appreciation for each other.

For example, Hovchenko was full of praise for the major infrastructure plan recently launched by the Kremlin, especially the low-rent housing project in Moscow. He believed that this project really solved the most basic living problems for young people, and it was a far-reaching benefit project!

The Kremlin also said that Khovchenko regulated the domestic crude oil industry and introduced the most advanced international technologies for mining, extracting, and transporting crude oil.

As a strategic resource, crude oil has won considerable diplomatic space for the country...

This makes it difficult for many people to understand.

Originally, everyone was waiting to watch the excitement, thinking that at the last moment, the two sides would launch a wave of fierce offensives, and it would be best if both sides suffered...

But waited and waited, just waited for this ending?

Undoubtedly, if this trend continues, the Kremlin is already a sure thing, a sure bet!

The most disappointed people are none other than the Moscow faction.

"What are they doing! Didn't they fight fiercely before, why did they suddenly become like good brothers?" Kolov said angrily at the meeting of the faction's core members.

He's been pretty rough lately.

Although Kolov is still the deputy speaker, it seems to be the same as before.

But the problem is that the position of the most important committee director has been lost!
Moreover, the Moscow faction has regressed from the original second faction to the current fourth faction, and its seats have also dropped sharply to only fifty seats.

This greatly reduced Kolov's influence in the Duma.

As a big man who was once close to the peak of power, suddenly fell into the abyss, this is definitely the cruelest punishment for him!

Therefore, even an old fox like Kolov, who has been in the field for a long time, has been a little out of balance recently...

Another core figure in the faction, the governor of Moscow, Luzhkov, frowned slightly when he saw Kolov's gaffe.

But he didn't show it, just said in a calm tone: "It's not easy, you read the latest poll results a few days ago, the Kremlin is leading by a large margin, and Hovchenko himself knows that he is hopeless Yes. Since there is no point in fighting for it, he can simply show his favor to the opponent, so as to gain the favor of the Kremlin. Isn’t the current situation a testament to this.”

An old politician is an old politician, and he can see through the inside story at a glance.

But Hovchenko and the others didn't want to hide it from anyone, it was an open and aboveboard "conspiracy"!
Could it be that these people from the Moscow faction can jump out and attack anyone...

"Then what should we do next? Can't we just watch the faction decline?! You also know that our faction is in a very bad situation in the Duma now, and it is extremely difficult to push any new bills." There are only fifty seats, hey, too few!" Kolov said unwillingly.

Luzhkov smiled and said calmly: "The Duma election is over, and no one can change the status quo, so we can only accept the reality. We can't complain about what happened all day long, and we must look forward. Now that our influence in the Duma has begun to decline, we should concentrate our energy and resources on the government side. Moscow Oblast has been firmly controlled by us. In the past two years, many people from Petersburg have also come here to develop .Can we think about infiltrating our forces into Petersburg..."

Kolov's eyes lit up, and he quickly clapped his hands and said, "Good idea! But... that's their traditional sphere of influence, and it's almost impossible for people from our faction to transfer there. It seems a bit difficult."

"Hehe, why should we use our own people? It's not good to just poach some people who are not successful for the time being from the opposite faction. First, choose some suitable people, contact them secretly, and give some secret support. After the authority, you can collect the net!..."

They are still plotting here, and they never thought that they would be copied from their "hometown" soon!
…………

It was still the small restaurant in the Kremlin, and it was still Wang Ye, Rosiana, Gobrev...the four of them.

Today Gobrev is in good spirits, his face is full of joy, and his voice is unknowingly louder.

No wonder, because the national election has come to an end, and according to the current count of votes, Rosiana's adoptive father has firmly won the election!

It can even be said that the subsequent votes do not need to be counted...

"Haha, Misha, have you communicated with Khovchenko? During this period of time, his behavior is different from before. He is much more friendly." Goblev asked with a smile.

Wang Ye smiled slightly, "He figured it out on his own. My uncle thinks that he is not yet capable of helming such a large country. He is far behind! Moreover, our recent series of measures have also been approved by my uncle. He finally felt that we people will still do some practical and good things, and we are not all fooling around, haha..."

There was a brisk laughter in the restaurant, although the joke Wang Ye said was not so humorous...

Gobrev said cheerfully: "It would be great if he can figure this out. After all, he is also your uncle, and he is one of his own. If he really stood on the opposite side of us, it would be quite a headache. It will make people like Kolov laugh at him. By the way, after he loses this time, what is he going to do in the next few years, or continue to build that public welfare fund?"

This is the point of the question. Wang Ye sat up straight and said seriously: "Actually, I have an idea. Luzhkov of Moscow State has been the governor for several years. Under his control, many policies introduced are very It is difficult to implement it down to the bottom. So I thought, should I change someone to be the governor!"

Both Gobrev and his adoptive father were taken aback for a moment, neither of them thought that Wang Ye would actually do something to Luzhkov!
That's a real "local snake"!

From the former Soviet Union period, he was engaged in politics in Moscow State. After decades, Luzhkov managed it like an iron bucket from top to bottom!
It wasn't that Kegong hadn't thought about moving him, but after weighing it over and over again, he still gave up on this idea.

Because I'm afraid of making trouble...

　It hasn't improved yet. I took my body temperature at night and it was still 38.8.This chapter is basically coded before the illness, so it’s hard to say whether it can be updated tomorrow...
