But this cannot be blamed on Wang Ye. In this kind of campaign, being on the stage naturally has many advantages.

Especially in a political system like Mao's, the government also has a lot of media and economic resources.

Then the Kremlin can use these resources to build momentum for itself!

Perhaps Kovchenko needs to spend a lot of money to achieve the publicity effect, but the Kremlin can easily achieve it with just a piece of news and the introduction of a policy.

As Kovchenko just said, the deployment of weapons in Kaliningrad was originally a crisis, but with Wang Ye's insistence and strong counterattack, it turned out to be a good thing.

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

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

The recent major infrastructure projects have the same effect...

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

What's the point of continuing to participate in the election? In the end, you will just be like a "walk-in" clown!

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

…………

After figuring out what Hovchenko meant, Wang Ye frowned and thought for a while.

Then he shook his head and said: "My suggestion is, uncle, you continue to run for the election. But don't have any expectations for the results of the election. Just exercise and study. After all, you will also be in politics in the future. You can participate in a general election."

, and got the second most votes, which is considered a good qualification!”

Kovchenko smiled bitterly and said: "There are only two candidates in total. What's the point of being second?"

"No, no, no, there were several people who wanted to participate in the election at the beginning, but they didn't even make it to the finals. Uncle, you can make it to the finals, which already explains a lot. Believe me, the official election will be held soon.

Now, what should you do, but remember one thing, don’t attack the Kremlin again, whether it’s people or policies! In this case, it will only benefit but not harm your future development!” Wang Ye said seriously.

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

That is to say, this matter involved the fate of Hovchenko, so Wang Yecai tried his best to "save" him.

At this point today, it can be said that Wang Ye has almost solved the "dead knot", and there is only one last step left...

Wang Ye believes that after the latest poll results come out, the Kremlin will no longer regard Kovchenko as a real competitor, and will no longer consider taking a fatal blow against him.

On the contrary, the Kremlin is happy to see the addition of such an "opposition figure" whose support rate is neither high nor low, but who definitely does not threaten its own status.

After all, it is a "liberal democracy" country. If there is not even a voice of opposition, it won't look good.

This situation happens to be the best now!

For this reason, the Kremlin may even secretly support Kovchenko to prevent him from becoming disheartened and no longer participating in politics.

If Kovchenko really withdraws, it will be a "loss" to 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.

The situation in the Kremlin Palace by then may not be as good as it is at this stage!

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

But he did not forget to remind Hovchenko that since there is no hope of winning the election, it is better to be a "good person" and stop attacking opponents. In this way, everyone can compete in a friendly manner and still remain popular...

…………

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

He smiled and said: "Hey, if I lose the election, I will be unemployed in the next few years. If I had known this day, I might as well have served in the Duma. With the number of seats in our faction

Look, at least I can become the deputy speaker and the director of an important committee."

The political system in Russia is relatively complex, and it can be said that it is different from most countries in the world.

According to the provisions of the Constitution, it is a multi-party system. However, from the perspective of the political structure and actual situation, it is also a very unique "party politics without a ruling party"...

This word sounds very difficult to pronounce. To put it simply, the Kremlin belongs to a "super faction"!

Neither he nor his predecessors belong to any faction, but were directly elected by the people.

Therefore, after winning the election, when forming the cabinet, the Kremlin will nominate candidates for the General Assembly, and the Duma will vote to approve them.

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

Among them, including the general manager, as well as the heads of various departments, do not consider his factional background, only whether he is suitable and whether his ability is sufficient.

It could be from any faction...

Of course, under normal circumstances, you must choose from the factions that support you, and you can't support people from the opposing factions!

Therefore, although Kovchenko spent huge sums of money to form a new faction in order to participate in this election.

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

Even if he is qualified, he cannot only appoint people from one faction to serve in the government. Instead, he will comprehensively consider and select outstanding people from various factions to hold important positions.

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

To put it simply, Mao’s political structure at the top is like the “West”.

And the structure of its middle and lower layers is like "Eastern"...

…………

"You...it's too late to join the Duma, otherwise..."

As he was talking, Wang Ye had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he came up with a good idea!

However, this matter is a bit difficult to do and needs to be thought about...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What else?" Hovchenko was still waiting for him to continue with a blank look on his face.

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

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

At worst, he can continue to engage in his charity work.

To be honest, the reason why he had such a high support rate in the previous period is absolutely inseparable from his insistence on doing charity.

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

The reason why Wang Ye doesn't tell him now is because it is more troublesome to operate, and the initiative is not in his hands. The key depends on the Kremlin's thoughts.

So let’s just not talk about it for now, and then tell Hovchenko when we are ready to help.

…………

Time has entered July, and the general election has officially begun.

Sure enough, Hovchenko listened to Wang Ye's advice. Anyway, the hope of a comeback was very slim, and he no longer "stubbornly resisted."

Therefore, it is rare that the two rivals became harmonious in the final stage of the election.

Although it's not as if we were complimenting each other, at least we no longer attacked each other.

Occasionally, he would say one or two words of praise for the other party.

For example, Kovchenko was full of praise for the large-scale infrastructure plan recently launched by the Kremlin Palace, especially the low-rent housing project in Moscow. He believed that this project truly solved the most basic housing problems for young people and was a far-reaching project that benefited the people!

The Kremlin has also said that Kovchenko has standardized the domestic crude oil industry and introduced the most advanced technology in the world for mining, extracting, and transporting crude oil.

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

This makes it difficult for many people to understand.

Originally, everyone was waiting to watch the fun, thinking that at the last moment, both sides would launch a fierce offensive, and it would be best to cause both sides to lose...

But after waiting and waiting, this is the ending?

There is no doubt that if this trend continues, the Kremlin will already have a 100% chance of victory!

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

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

He's been quite unlucky lately.

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

But the problem is, the most important position of committee director is 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.

This greatly reduced Kolov's influence in the Duma.

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

Therefore, even a veteran fox like Koloff has been a little out of balance recently...

Another core figure within the faction, the governor of Moscow, Luzhkov, frowned slightly when he saw Kolov losing his composure.

However, he did not show it, but said in a calm tone: "This is not simple. Have you seen the latest poll results a few days ago? The Kremlin is leading by a large margin, and Kovchenko himself knows that he has no hope.

Since there is no point in fighting for it, he might as well show his kindness to his opponent, so as to gain the favor of the Kremlin. Doesn’t the current situation verify this?"

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