Chapter 1087 A road never thought of(1/2)
In fact, Wang Ye's plan is not that simple.
There were still some things that he did not say even in front of Zhirinov.
Whether Rosiana can win this election is actually not important to Wang Ye.
He has done so much behind the scenes, and his real purpose is just to prevent someone from wanting to play "two-person turns"...
Because in that case, the balance in the political arena will be broken in a few years, and the Duma's living space will be severely squeezed. This is unacceptable to Wang Ye.
Silavik Group cannot be the only one company!
If Wang Ye wants to maintain his relatively aloof status, he must balance the balance of power in the political arena.
For him, after he serves as the speaker of the Duma in the next term, his role in the Kremlin should be as weak as possible, so that he can continue to expand the power of the Duma until it is like the old American Congress.
Rosiana fits this role, and so does Meddev in the past. It doesn't matter which one of them can win.
But Meddev, who has the full support and recognition of the Kremlin, has united the entire Shilavik Group, and may even become the Kremlin's "stand-in", does not meet the requirements of the royal family.
Therefore, Wang Ye must take action to snipe him.
After discussing the details with Zhirinov, Wang Ye stood up and left. The next thing was up to Zhirinov.
Wang Ye was not worried that Zhirinov would mess up the matter. He had some considerations in choosing Zhirinov to handle this matter.
First of all, Zhirinov will not betray himself!
Zhirinov was able to return to the Duma and become a powerful deputy speaker, thanks to the strong financial support of Kovchenko, Wang Ye's "uncle"!
Without the support of Kovchenko, Zhirinov alone would never be able to support the entire faction.
And they are about to face the Duma general election. Whether their faction can keep its current seats, or even go further, will still rely on Kovchenko's financial support, and perhaps Wang Ye's "care" in the media channels
.
Therefore, it can be said that Zhirinov's power and status are supported by Hovchenko and Wang Ye, and everyone's interests are tied together.
Secondly, Zhirinov is dissatisfied with the Shilavik Group and wishes to see the other party's strength reduced. Now that he has the opportunity to engage in the Shilavek Group, he will naturally not miss it.
…………
Zhirinov quickly took action.
He found an opportunity and strolled to Gryzlov's office.
It's not out of the ordinary, as the two of them would often visit each other to chat about work and so on.
Seeing Zhirinov knocking on the door and coming in, Gryzlov, who was originally stern-faced, also smiled, warmly invited Zhirinov to sit down, and personally brought him steaming black tea and cakes.
Zhirinov did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Old man, I have been thinking about a big thing recently. I came here today just to discuss it with you and see if it can be done."
Gryzlov smiled and said: "Big things? What big things can the two of us do? Now any big things in the Duma must be discussed with Misha first. Without his nod, no one can do anything big. As for external matters
If it’s a big deal, then it has nothing to do with the two of us.”
It can be heard that Gryzlov is emotional...
Zhirinov sighed and said with emphasis: "Yes... But just because of this, we must cheer up and not sit still! According to my observation, now we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It depends on whether you dare to
Dare to give it a try!"
Hearing him speak so seriously, Gryzlov also became serious.
He frowned and asked: "Good opportunity? Give it a try? Please explain it clearly, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Have you not noticed that in this election, the two most competitive people are actually Meddev and Rosiana. If... I mean if, the two of us join forces and bring together the two of us.
If we declare our participation in the general election with the strength of the faction, what will happen?"
Zhirinov leaned forward and looked into Gryzlov's eyes and said.
After hearing these words, Grezlov really took a breath...
He and Zhirinov join forces to participate in the general election!
This is really a path he has never imagined...
Don't tell me, if they really do this, the competitiveness between the two of them seems to be ridiculously high!
At least there is no problem in overpowering Meddev and Rosiana.
However, why did the old guy Zhirinov suddenly support him...
Thinking of this, Gryzlov looked at Zhirinov suspiciously and asked: "Why are you suddenly interested in the election, and why do you think of asking me to run for the election? Why don't you go and participate by yourself?"
better?"
Zhirinov smiled cheerfully and responded frankly: "Because I have no chance of winning if I participate by myself! In fact, even if you were to participate in the election alone, do you think your winning rate would be high? So, after careful consideration, I
I think that only if we join forces can we have a big enough advantage to make it worth our while!"
Gryzlov had to admit that Zhirinov was right.
Indeed, although he and Zhirinov have stronger qualifications and reputations than Meddev and Rosiana, the problem is that they both have strong support behind them.
As for myself and Zhirinov, they can't rely on others and can only rely on themselves...
But once two people join forces, the situation is completely different!
I have been in politics for so many years and have always been in high positions, so my background should not be underestimated.
Although Mikhail has been too sharp in the past two years and has directly covered himself up. Many people think that he is about to retire, so they slowly no longer take him seriously.
However, as long as you can show the hope of making a comeback, those who have alienated you will soon come back and unite around you!
Therefore, he was able to win over a group of people headed by him and supporting him from within the Duma and the Shilavik Group.
Of course, it’s definitely not possible to rely on yourself alone.
Because his two opponents cannot be underestimated, there are people behind them...
In this way, Zhirinov's cooperation is particularly important.
Even though Zhirinov is usually a secretive guy and doesn't have a strong sense of presence, Gryzlov knows him very well.
Not to mention that the faction led by Zhirinov ranks third in the Duma, has a lot of seats, and has a high support rate among the people.
Also, don’t forget who was the former leader of Wang Ye’s faction...
This time Wang Ye stated that he would not participate in the general election, so some members of his faction would choose to support Zhirinov.
That is also quite a force.
…………
Gryzlov looked at Zhirinov with bright eyes, his eyes were shining, and his waist straightened unknowingly.
"Do you really want to try joining forces with me? And if...I mean if, we win the election together, then..."
Zhirinov simply nodded and said: "Of course! If you win the election, you will go to the Kremlin palace and I will go to the government. You will be the principal and I will be the assistant. Anyway, we are both at this age. If we don't take this opportunity to try
, there will really be no chance in the future. Anyway, even if you lose, you won’t lose anything, so why not just go ahead and do it.”
These words seemed to have reached Gryzlov's heart, and Zhirinov's willingness to help him made him very moved.
Yes, give it a try, there is still hope.
If you don't try, then there is no hope at all. You are already like this, so what else do you have to lose?
The worst outcome would be to lose the election.
Then I can retire and take care of myself...
He stretched out his hands. Zhirinov understood this and stretched out his hands at the same time, clasping his hands tightly together.
Gryzlov said with a loud voice: "Okay, let's give it a try! I will immediately communicate with people in the faction to get as much support as possible, and you will also take action. Then the two of us will
Let’s announce together to the outside world that we will participate in the competition for the general election at the end of the year!”
…………
After the two reached an agreement, they immediately took action with great enthusiasm.
Gryzlov began to contact privately with the key members of their faction, and even visited many people in private.
At first when he said he would run for the election, others thought he was joking. But when Gryzlov said Zhirinov would join forces with him to run, everyone realized he was not joking, but serious.
And it really has enough strength to impact the general election!
In the several general elections after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, there was no precedent for two senior political figures to join forces to participate in the general election. However, such a situation occurred in the last general election in Uzbekistan, and the final result was also well known.
Those who joined forces won the final victory!
Now that Gryzlov and Zhirinov have joined forces to stand up, there will be great changes in the general election that will begin at the end of that year.
Not sure if they really have any hope of winning the election...
In this case, I can really consider betting on Gryzlov.
After all, everyone knows that providing help in times of need is far more popular than adding icing on the cake!
If you give Gryzlov a certain amount of support when he is in urgent need of support, he will naturally keep it in mind and give you adequate rewards after he wins the election.
If he really wants to remain so-called neutral now, or even support his opponent, then how can he expect any good rewards after he wins the election...
To be continued...
