Konev, surrounded by the crowd, his eyes radiated resolute fighting spirit.
He grasped the microphone, his voice booming and firm as he shouted, "Comrades, today we stand united here, together we will defeat those Western forces who seek to destroy our homeland!"
As soon as his words echoed, cheers erupted from the audience below.
Though Konev had just appeared before them.
But whether it was reclaiming the mining companies or upholding the will of the Soviet Bear Alliance, it filled them with immense excitement and satisfaction.
In Konev's towering figure, they saw the hope of the Soviet Bear Alliance's future!
Amidst the cheers, the faces of the surrounding crowd were a mixture of excitement and anticipation.
Konev, his emotions running high, continued, "We cannot allow external forces to interfere in our internal affairs, nor can we tolerate any traitors working behind the scenes!"
“Ural!”
His eyes blazed, scanning every citizen present, as if transmitting an invisible but powerful force.
Inspired by him, the people gradually raised their fists, responding with a chorus of shouts:
“Ural!”
“Ural!!”
“Ural!!!”
The cheers from the square reverberated like a wave, spreading outwards.
People a kilometer away, hearing the invigorating and powerful unison chant, instinctively stopped in their tracks, voicing their own unyielding spirit and fighting will!
Within a few minutes, the entire city of Moscow echoed with the majestic Ural chants.
This unadulterated patriotism ignited the spirits of the demoralized people of Moscow. The long-suppressed emotions transformed into a fighting spirit that spurred the Soviet Bear people to strive for greatness.
The atmosphere in the entire venue had reached a feverish pitch.
“Konev!”
“Konev!”
The surrounding crowd chanted Konev's name in unison, and more and more people began to trust this new iron-fisted president!
Konev adjusted his stance slightly and continued to address the crowd with unwavering determination, "I promise to do everything in my power to protect our country! This is my responsibility, and it is the responsibility of every citizen. Let us stand together to defend this homeland!"
As he shouted passionately, the cheers from below grew louder, many even shedding tears, feeling an unprecedented sense of unity and belonging.
Konev's speech ended amidst the fervent cheers of the crowd. He nodded slightly, a hint of a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
…
Back in the Kremlin conference room, Konev's face had lost the excitement from his speech.
Now, he appeared even more composed and steady.
Upon his entry into the conference hall, a wave of applause erupted from the entire room.
Everyone excitedly glanced at Konev.
This political prodigy had won over a significant number of Russian citizens in just one day.
More importantly, Konev not only established a highly reliable image in the eyes of the public, but he also became a pragmatic president who was willing to take action in the eyes of the Soviet Bear Alliance's high-ranking officials.
With such a strong and decisive president in office, the Soviet Bear Alliance's policies and military actions would no longer be as weak as they were under Gorbachev's leadership.
What the Soviet Bear Alliance leadership and the people wanted now,
was a strong, iron-fisted hero who could step up and turn the tide when the Soviet Bear Alliance was on the verge of collapse.
As Konev walked down the corridor of the Soviet Bear Alliance Parliament Hall, his ears were buzzing from the applause.
He could sense the Soviet Bear Alliance's heart beginning to beat strongly again, judging from the enthusiasm in the eyes of the surrounding officials.
Upon arriving at the Parliament Hall, all of the Soviet Bear Alliance's high-ranking officials in Moscow saluted Konev in unison.
Marshal Yazov, the Minister of Defense, was stunned as he praised Konev, "President Konev, you have shown us hope."
"Your decisive cleansing operation has pulled the entire Soviet Bear Alliance back from the brink of collapse!"
"I, Yazov, swear on my life that I will forever be loyal to you."
Simultaneously with Yazov's salute to Konev, a synchronized sound of clothes rubbing against each other echoed through the hall.
Swish!
In a solemn salute, over a hundred pairs of eyes focused on Konev.
They were all filled with enthusiasm and fighting spirit, a stark contrast to just a few days ago.
Konev felt the passion in everyone's eyes and also felt the weight of his responsibilities on his shoulders.
The presidency was more than just a title; it was the supreme leader responsible for the rise and fall of the Soviet Bear Alliance's hundreds of millions of citizens!
But as Konev continued walking forward, the surrounding sounds began to take on a different tone.
"Dear President Konev, I am your uncle, do you remember me?"
"Ah, great Konev, it's all thanks to you for leading us."
"Konev, I knew you could do it. You're bound to become the greatest president in the world!"
"The iron-fisted president. I truly admire you. You're the most successful and greatest president in the history of the Soviet Bear Alliance, bar none!"
Konev didn't respond to these voices. He walked straight to the front, then turned to face the crowd with a serious expression.
Praise might sound pleasant, but these insincere compliments wouldn't help the Soviet Bear Alliance escape the stranglehold of the Hawk Sword.
It might even lead the Soviet Bear Alliance into a new predicament.
With a serious look, Konev addressed the officials who were flattering him, "Today is my first official day in office."
"Although I am a provisional president, while I am in office, you need to remember this.
"Playing favorites and taking shortcuts, a dead end!"
"Wasting time and compromising, instant dismissal!"
"If you want to be promoted, if you want to do more, there's only one way, let me see that you are truly capable, that you are truly capable of doing real work and working for the good of the people."
This was Konev's first warning.
A mere icy glare directed at those officials seeking shortcuts was enough to make them tremble.
On the other hand, those high-ranking officials who truly possessed the ability and desired to contribute to the Soviet Bear Alliance, to work tirelessly for its betterment, felt a surge of warmth within them.
Just based on this attitude, they had already confirmed in their hearts that Konev was a wise ruler worthy of their trust in the Soviet Bear Alliance.
With Konev in office, and maintaining such a style of governance and attitude, the Soviet Bear's resurgence would not be a possibility, but a certainty!
As everyone took their seats, Konev addressed the high-ranking officials in a loud voice, outlining the current situation,
Then he continued,
"Besides these good news, we also have to face a very urgent problem."
"So far, the splits in Liwan and Gru countries have had a significant impact on the overall atmosphere of the Soviet Bear Alliance."
"And there are a few other countries that may also propose to become independent from the Soviet Bear Alliance this month."
"We must act before they do. We must not let such independence continue to develop!"
