Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Chapter 847 Tough guy image

The reason why Wang Ye suggested a tough counterattack and deployed strategic weapons in Kaliningrad was not to completely break up with the West.

This is also the safest way that he thinks after careful consideration!

First of all, although Russia has been very poor in recent years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, it is a big country that has "inherited" most of the "heritage" of the former Soviet Union.

If it fails to make a strong counterattack in the face of other people's provocations, Russia's international prestige will be completely destroyed!

Secondly, counterattacks are counterattacks. It doesn’t matter if you are tougher, but you can’t be so reckless.

Are we really going to go to war with Bei Y...

Without using a big killer, it can't be defeated at all!

More than 20 developed countries are united together, accounting for more than 60% of the world's economic aggregate!

Not to mention weapons and equipment. In terms of conventional weapons, the United States and the United States can defeat Da Mao.

All things considered, how to fight back requires a lot of skill.

Russia's current economic situation is not good, and its conventional weapons are also very low-end because there is no money to update the equipment.

The international influence is also very average, and there are not many die-hard brothers left.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a poor word!

The so-called international relations is very simple to say the least.

Most countries are also full of people who dislike the poor and love the rich, who bully the weak and fear the strong.

Da Mao's economy is still ineffective, and conventional weapons are not enough. The only thing that can be used is those "big killer weapons"!

That's why Wang Yecai proposed this plan.

And there are many hidden benefits of doing this, just like Rakloff said, you can move forward and retreat freely, and bargain with the other party!

It only requires mobilizing mobile troops and deploying some strategic weapons to Kaliningrad, which will not cost much money, manpower and material resources.

But on the North Y side, everyone will be in danger, as if facing a formidable enemy!

They will inevitably come to negotiate, hoping that Russia can withdraw these strategic weapons.

Otherwise, it would be like having a Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads!

I couldn't even sleep well.

But if you want Da Mao to withdraw these weapons, you must show enough sincerity. Isn't there room for negotiation here?

Wang Ye's doing this is almost equivalent to replicating the "Cuban Crisis"...

Wang Ye did not explain the things behind these things clearly, but Rakloff analyzed them immediately.

It seems that the Foreign Minister still has a keen eye and a strong insight.

…………

Seeing that Raklov also supported Wang Ye's proposal, Gebrev frowned and thought for a moment. The Kremlin also discussed this matter several times.

The pros and cons have also been analyzed. The reason why we haven't made a final decision yet is because we are afraid that Europe and the United States will overreact and it will not end well.

So after hesitating again and again, he turned to look at Wang Ye and asked: "What if... I mean what if, after the weapons are deployed, the other party does not negotiate with us, but takes targeted measures, such as deploying corresponding weapons in the Baltic Sea area." What to do with the weapons and equipment?”

This issue should be what worries the Kremlin the most.

Their worries are not unreasonable, because Russia's current economy really cannot support a large-scale confrontation.

In addition, the presidential election is coming soon. At this juncture, the adoptive father still has to consider whether it will affect his own campaign!

Of course Wang Ye understood the concerns of the Kung Palace, so he patiently explained: "Don't worry, they can't do this."

"Why?" Gebrev blurted out.

"Because no country in Europe has the strength! They don't have the will or interest to do it. The most they can do is protest verbally. But the countries that really have the strength to do it, they can't spare their hands to take care of things here. , after all, their most important tasks at the moment are fighting against K and grabbing oil..." Wang Ye said meaningfully.

Gebrev was thoughtful, and Raklov obviously understood the meaning of Wang Ye's words better than him.

He nodded in agreement: "Director Mikhail is right. This matter seems very risky on the surface, but in this time window, it happens to be the least risky!"

With the two of them singing along, Gebrev was also convinced.

He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Then I agree, otherwise, wouldn't it appear that I am too weak! However, this matter will ultimately have to be approved by the Kremlin before notifying Party J to carry it out."

Wang Ye agreed.

Although their committee is indeed very powerful, it cannot be said that the important policies formulated can be implemented immediately and unconditionally, and their hands cannot reach the other side.

If you want to implement it, you still need the cooperation of all parties, especially for such a major matter.

That night, Wang Ye received a call from Puding.

On the phone, Puding only asked him one question, that is, in the name of which department the deployment of weapons to Kaliningrad was announced.

Wang Ye only answered one sentence, that is, the announcement of this news can be recognized by the vast majority of the people, help to create a "tough guy" image, and it is estimated that it can attract a lot of votes...

As soon as he said this, the adoptive father understood and knew what to do.

Wang Ye didn't want to steal the "limelight". He thought it would be better to let his adoptive father be the tough guy.

Because I will be responsible for foreign affairs in the future, I cannot establish a "hawkish" image right from the start. If my methods are too tough, I will not be welcomed by others.

At least for ten years, Wang Ye does not want to be labeled a "hawk" or a "dove".

What he has to do is to play both sides, advance and retreat freely, and not appear domineering, but he also cannot appear weak and bullyable.

In short, it is necessary to have a good standard. It is best to prevent others from guessing his thoughts, so as to gain the maximum benefit.

…………

on April 28, just two days before the May general election.

The Kremlin issued a formal televised speech, announcing that in response to the actions of some unfriendly countries, a mechanized heavy equipment division and a strategic D bomb unit would be deployed in the Kaliningrad region!

The most eye-catching thing is that this strategic D-egg unit is equipped with the Iskander D-egg that has just been officially put into use...

And he emphasized in his speech that this move was not intended to target any country or region, but was only to safeguard national security and cope with the increasingly complex surrounding environment.

This speech immediately caused a great sensation at home and abroad.

Many domestic people took to the streets and shouted "Ula!"

Obviously, this move by the Kremlin was recognized by the general public.

The reaction from abroad is much more complicated.

Small neighboring countries, especially those near the Kaliningrad region, were shaken and uneasy.

No one is stupid, everyone knows what Russia’s actions are for.

It is said that some countries quickly convened emergency meetings after the Kremlin's televised speech.

What exactly was discussed at the meeting is unknown. It will probably take a few days to truly see their reactions...

…………

There is another person who was shocked by this televised speech, and that is Kovchenko!

Because according to some expert estimates, Kremlin's support rate among the people has soared by nearly 20% due to the influence of Kremlin's televised speech!

Originally, the Kremlin's and Hovchenko's approval ratings were about 60 to 40. The Kremlin had a certain advantage, but it cannot be said that Hovchenko had no chance.

After all, the election hasn’t started yet. During the election process, anything can happen.

But now, the support rate of the two people is 82%. What is the point of running? Hovchenko can just admit defeat and surrender!

I don’t know where he found out about it, but Wang Ye was the first to bring it up and advocated for it.

For a moment, Hovchenko didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Anyway, he felt quite complicated.

For this reason, he specially called Wang Ye to come over for dinner and planned to have a good chat with Wang Ye...

…………

Still in the apartment where Hovchenko lived, the two sat opposite each other.

There were no outsiders this time, just their uncle and nephew.

The two of them smoked cigars in silence for a while, as if they were competing to see who could keep calm.

Of course Wang Ye knew why Hovchenko was looking for him, but he also had troubles that he couldn't tell, and there were some things that he couldn't directly showdown with Hovchenko.

Moreover, I have persuaded Hovchenko many times, hoping that he would give up the situation, but it did not work.

Although I have never agreed to Kovchenko or Puding in person, who will I support in the election.

But what he did in the past can be seen by everyone. He belongs to the neutral faction. No one supports it. It can be said that everyone supports it...

But this time when things happened, it was equivalent to Wang Ye supporting Pu Ding in disguise, greatly increasing his approval rate!

So when Hovchenko came to him, he must have had some intention of calling an army to hold him accountable...

It's just that Hovchenko didn't seem to have figured out how to speak.

After a while, after smoking most of a thick and long cigar, Kovchenko raised his head and said, "Is there no hope for me in this election?"

There was bitterness in his tone, and he was also somewhat unwilling.

Hearing Hovchenko's direct question, Wang Ye was too embarrassed to pretend to be confused anymore.

Putting down the cigar in his hand, he responded seriously:

"Hope...it's really not that big.

Uncle, you have to understand that this is not because you are incompetent. The main reason is that everyone in our country hopes to have a stable and powerful government that can lead everyone to glory again...

So far, he is doing a pretty good job, and he has shown a tough side when dealing with the crisis this time.

You know, the image of a tough guy is very popular in our country.

But precisely in this aspect, uncle, it is not your advantage.

There is no way, who made this happen so coincidentally? Facing the complex and severe surrounding environment, we need someone with his personality and work style..."

Also, the impression that Hovchenko has always left on everyone is that he is gentle and has a kind personality.

Even in publicity, the emphasis has always been on economic aspects and so-called humanistic things.

He really doesn't understand military diplomacy and the like...

If placed in a peaceful environment, Hovchenko may still have hope.

But the problem is that Da Mao is now suffering from internal and external worries.

It can only be said that Hovchenko was born at the wrong time...

After listening to Wang Ye's words, Hovchenko fell into deep thought again, and smoke curled up from the cigar held between his fingers.

Sighing, Wang Ye spoke again: "Take your time. In fact, it's good to be an opposition leader. You can't all have the same voice. Uncle, the faction you just formed this year will be able to get With so many Duma seats, we have done very well.”

Perhaps Wang Ye's comfort had an effect. Hovchenko grinned, shook his head and said, "I can still accept it when others say it. But when you say it, I always feel weird. The seats your faction won this year , there are many more than our faction!"

Wang Ye spread his hands and said helplessly: "Actually, I didn't expect that. I originally thought that getting one hundred and twenty seats would be enough. Who knew that thirty more seats would suddenly appear."

His behavior of taking advantage and being obedient is obviously a bit hateful.

Hovchenko pointed at him, not knowing what to say.

However, being "disturbed" by Wang Ye, at least the atmosphere has relaxed and is no longer so heavy, and Hovchenko's mood has also improved.

"Forget it, let's just focus on participation this time and don't have any hope for the results." He said helplessly.

Wang Ye smiled and said: "As long as you can think openly, this is the highest position, how can it be so easy. If it doesn't work this time, then prepare for the next time."

Kovchenko leaned on the back of the sofa and said a little depressed: "Why do you think you should pass regulations to extend the term for so long? The next time will be six years later!"

Wang Ye laughed dumbly, thinking that this matter had something to do with him!

It was under his leadership that the Duma amended the constitution through a direct motion and directly extended the term to six years!

This also includes the term of office of Duma deputies.

Officially effective from this election...

It originally only had to wait four years, but now it suddenly has to wait six years. No wonder Hovchenko complained.

Wang Ye could only say vaguely: "Actually, it's very fast, six years. During this period, uncle, you can participate in more social activities and continue to accumulate strength and influence. Next time he will not participate in the election, then No one else can match you."

Speaking of this, Hovchenko became interested.

He sat up and excitedly discussed with Wang Ye who else would be his competitors in the next election.

Counting over and over again, there is really no one who is qualified to compete with Hovchenko in the next election.

Of course, if you really want to say it, there is still one person.

This person is Wang Ye who is sitting in front of Hovchenko!

"Misha, tell me the truth, will you participate in the election in six years?" Hovchenko asked, staring at Wang Ye with bright eyes.

Before Wang Ye could answer, he quickly added: "If you want to participate, there's nothing to say, I will take the initiative to withdraw!"
