Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth-Chapter 1018 - 909: Letting Go and Taking a Risk

"Everyone has been arranged, and besides my coming to oversee everything, Androf had arrived in Kiev even earlier. A team of a couple of hundred elites has also been scattered under cover in several major cities across Ukraine.

Most of them, of course, are in Kiev.

However, these people cannot come out into the open; they’re only working behind the scenes to support your work. For things that need to be handled in public, you’ll still need to be the face."

Wang Ye explained the situation succinctly.

This was an operation plan that he and Androf had finalized in Kiev at the beginning of the year, although at that time he hadn’t decided on who to put in charge of the more visible aspects.

Now that Natalia was involved, the plan seemed perfect.

It would not only allow them to capture all of Yushchenko’s associates at once but also provide an opportunity to push Natalia into the spotlight, paving the way for her promotion!

It’s akin to killing two birds with one stone.

Natalia started to understand what Wang Ye meant.

She widened her eyes in shock, staring intently at Wang Ye, and after a long pause asked, "Is this going to be a big deal this time?"

Wang Ye’s expression turned somewhat grave as he nodded and responded:

"Based on the current intelligence, it’s expected to be big!

But as long as we can act preemptively, forestalling any trouble, it won’t escalate.

However, during this process, a large number of people will be arrested, and some might even be killed!

Also, whether the other side can stir up any disturbance afterwards, or if they have any hidden countermeasures, is not yet entirely clear.

That’s why I’ve come personally, so in case of any unexpected developments, I can make decisions on the spot to avoid any missteps."

Natalia took a sharp breath of air. If Wang Ye said it like this, it looked like many people would indeed die this time!

But she didn’t shrink back; instead, she felt a bit eager to try.

Because for her, this was a golden opportunity!

An independent prosecutor investigating a candidate in the General Election for fraud, and even collusion with internal and Overseas Forces disrupting the election!

This would be sensational news around the whole world!

And her name would be spread across the world by the News Media along with this news...

Of course, besides fame, for Natalia the most important thing was the experience.

If she handled this case well, her position and reputation in the entire Ukrainian judicial system would be unmatched!

Once Yanukovych took office, she could rightfully nominate herself for the position of Chief Prosecutor.

To reach the position of Chief Prosecutor in her twenties was extremely rare in the whole world, perhaps even unique!

And with the special nature of the judicial system, her position would almost amount to a ’lifelong’ Chief Prosecutor, unless she planned to move in a different direction.

...

"So what do I need to do now?

However, I’ve just arrived here and have no Contacts, nor do I have any subordinates I can use, so it’s a bit difficult to handle things.

And my independent prosecutor’s office surely can’t hold a temporary recruitment open to the public to have Wagner’s people blend in, right?"

Natalia was excited but also a bit frustrated.

Indeed, although they had enough personnel behind the scenes and there was no doubting Wagner’s strength and capabilities, the problem was that she lacked available personnel in public.

It’s not like she could be the sole commander, and then rely on Wagner’s security personnel for anything that came up; that would be legally problematic and not rigorous!

Wang Ye said unhurriedly, "The solution to this problem is simple. The Presidential palace and the Supreme Rada have given you much autonomy. You need to use it well. For instance, you can transfer public office personnel from any region within Ukraine to join your independent prosecutor’s office.

Even though you’re not familiar with this place and lack available personnel, don’t forget that Crimea is also a region under Kiev’s jurisdiction, and therefore its personnel can be transferred to work in your office."

Natalia’s eyes lit up as she smacked her forehead.

She really was being rigid, not having thought of this solution earlier.

Indeed, the appointment letter of the independent prosecutor vaguely stated that for the purposes of the investigation, any means could be used at discretion, and no other Department should interfere with the work of the independent prosecutor’s office...

These phrases are generally difficult for people to fully understand or to delineate the scope of authority.

But with Wang Ye’s interpretation, none of this was a problem.

Because the whole concept of the ’independent prosecutor’ had been his suggestion in the first place, and the scope of authority was also the result of bargaining with Gu Qima.

So naturally, he held the "final say"...

Besides, with the current chaos in Kiev, who would dare to challenge Natalia?

As long as she wore the mantle of "independent prosecutor," established a "powerful" team of her own, and had the authorization from the Presidential palace and the Supreme Rada to "enforce the law" over anyone or any department, she would surely be unstoppable!

There probably wouldn’t be anyone foolish enough to provoke her.

As for transferring people from Crimea, the opportunities were vast.

Because Wagner had taken on many governmental functions there, like security defense, which were essentially semi-public, semi-private.

The personnel that Natalia transferred would naturally be Wagner’s people.
