Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

There is a famous term in military history called "Molotov Cocktail", which was born in the Soviet-Finnish War at the end of 1939.

In the early days of the war, the Soviet army relied on strong force to crush Finland. It sent a large number of fighter planes to bomb the Finnish cities of Helsinki and Turku. The actions of the Soviet army caused huge controversy. As the mouthpiece of the Soviet government, Molotov gave a shocking explanation: What we dropped in Helsinki was not bombs, but relief food for hungry Finnish workers!

The world was in an uproar as soon as this statement came out, and the Finnish military and civilians even nicknamed the Soviet bomb "Molotov's bread basket."

Subsequently, the Finns stole troops from Spain during the battle with the Soviet army, followed the example of the Spanish in using Molotov cocktails to resist enemy tank columns during the civil war, and produced a large number of Molotov cocktails to attack Soviet tanks. This tactic was simple and crude but always achieved results. Even though the Soviet army had advanced and large-scale weapons, it still suffered heavy casualties. The Finns were furious. They targeted Molotov and called the Molotov cocktail "a cocktail for Molotov." Due to translation errors in Western media, this sentence was misinterpreted as "Molotov Cocktail" and has been passed down to this day.

From 1930 to 1953, Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov had been the "second-in-command" of the Soviet Union, and at different times oversaw agriculture, diplomacy, economics, and transportation.

Although he has no extraordinary talent, he has always played the role of Stalin's number one clerk with his outstanding clerical work ability and rich experience in office politics. However, when Molotov attempted to continue to promote Stalinism despite the political and economic conflicts that already existed in the Soviet Union in the mid-1950s, Khrushchev resolutely captured him. The "No. 2 Chief" could only miss his former leader and soul for the rest of his life, and died quietly thirty years later.

Now the "No. 2 Chief" of the Soviet Union is holding a newspaper in his hand, and the sweat on his face is flowing down as if he doesn't need money.

A devilish smile appeared on Yannick's face. "His Excellency Molotov keeps saying that there is no such thing, so even if this newspaper is published, it will not have any impact? I wonder what Comrade Stalin's reaction will be after reading it? But will this newspaper be published? In your words.”

"!!" Molotov subconsciously looked at the publication time of the newspaper, it is tomorrow!

Molotov shivered and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said with great determination. "I will never betray my motherland!"

Yannick curled his lips disdainfully. "You can't even protect your own wife, so you still have the energy to talk about loyalty."

Molotov's wife, Polina Semenovna Zhemchuzhina, was a Jew who had recently been sent to a labor camp.

What’s interesting is that although there was no gold robbery in the original time and space, this Polina Zhemchushina still suffered from prison.

According to Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan's recollections, in the early 1930s Stalin was very attentive to the opinions of Polina Zhemchushina (she and Stalin's second wife Nadezhda Alliluye Children are good friends). She suggested to leaders that cosmetics manufacturing should be developed because women needed not only soap, but also perfumes and cosmetics.

Zhemchuzhenna initially headed a soap-cosmetics industry trust, and in the summer of 1936 she became the director of the General Administration of Soap and Cosmetics Industry of the People's Commissariat of Food Industry. A year later, she was deputy people's commissar of the food industry.

Mikoyan wrote: "She is a worker, very capable and energetic, quick-thinking, has organizational skills and is fully qualified for her position. Apart from her advantages, I have nothing to say about her. Under her leadership Next, work in this field was going so smoothly that I was able to give her the task of making Soviet perfumes not inferior in quality to Parisian perfumes. At that time, in general, she fulfilled this task: perfume production Starting to have a modern level, our best fragrances are recognized.”

In January 1939, Stalin appointed her as the People's Commissar of Fisheries and ordered her election as a representative of the Communist Party and the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. She was awarded the Order of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, the Order of the Red Star and the Medal of Honor.

But that year, Stalin's attitude towards Molotov changed drastically. Molotov suddenly got an appointment to the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, and his wife encountered all kinds of more serious unpleasant things.

First, the NKVD opened a case against her, accusing her of being involved with "enemies of the people and spies." Although it was Stalin himself who should first be interrogated on such accusations, since it was he who appointed those people to high positions and who later declared them enemies...

On August 10, 1939, the Politburo passed a top-secret resolution that was placed in a "special file." It said that Molotov’s wife (her name is deliberately not mentioned here) “showed carelessness and confusion about the people she contacted, and as a result, many hostile people appeared around Comrade Zhemzhenna. spies, which involuntarily facilitates their espionage work."

The Politburo ordered the NKVD to "carry out a detailed examination of all materials concerning Zhemchuzhenna." Smart people in the NKVD immediately fabricated evidence of her involvement in "harmful espionage work" and submitted it to the Central Committee.

But Stalin temporarily pardoned her and destroying Molotov's authority was enough for him. On October 24, the Politburo re-examined Zhemchushna's behavior. Some of the more serious accusations against her were deemed "defamatory," but accusations that she was "careless and confused" were included in the resolution.

Khrushchev also mentioned this incident in his memoirs. "A strong-willed woman... left the impression of a good worker and a good comrade... Stalin had great respect for her... Zhemchushna's chest is full of medals, but all medals are legitimate It was obtained without causing any gossip. Suddenly Stalin's wrath descended on Zhemchushna, for which even now I can find no explanation... The specific accusation against her was Shkryatovti When it came out... Zhemchuzhena defended herself. Although at the time I believed Stalin was right and was on Stalin's side, I admired her from the bottom of my heart."

Zhemchuzhenna was dismissed from the People's Commissar of Fisheries and her position was reduced to a very low level. She was transferred to the local People's Commissariat of Industry at the level of the Republic as the director of the General Administration of Textile Industry.

Molotov did not dare to say a word for her, but abstained from the vote. This was the only act that was considered brave at the time.
