Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 460 Molotov (4)

"Perhaps Stalin will suspect our conspiracy based on this newspaper alone, but we are more than prepared for this, Reinhard?"

Reinhardson said. "Tomorrow, a report letter accusing Mr. Molotov of collaborating with the enemy and treason will be sent to Stalin, and the investigation department will search Mr. Molotov's home to find secret letters between him and our Germany."

Seeing the muscles on Molotov's face twitching and the look of horror and despair in his eyes, Yannick smiled proudly. "It seems that Lord Molotov will meet Marshal Tukhachevsky soon. Don't forget to take care of me when the time comes. Tsk tsk, Marshal Tukhachevsky, a generation of armored genius. , if he was still alive, the Soviet armored torrent would have bulldozed Europe long ago."

Marshal Tukhachevsky, a talented man who single-handedly laid the foundation of the Soviet armored force, passed away with his unfinished theory of large-depth maneuver warfare. After his death, the theory of large-depth mobile warfare was completely shelved. All established mechanized armies were dismantled and organized into infantry units in the form of tank battalions. The Soviet armored forces returned to the old path of supporting infantry.

In 41 years, at least on the surface, the Soviet armored forces are still very prosperous, with as many as 20,000 tanks of various types, including the famous T34 medium tank, the heavily armored KV heavy tank... This is a force that will impress anyone. All the forces were afraid of the powerful force, and as the Great Purge subsided, the Soviet army was also making amends for its mistakes.

Four mechanized corps were rebuilt, and the tank battalions that had been dispersed among the infantry units were also gathered together to form tank brigades. However, the Soviet army had already suffered from many shortcomings at this time. Under the seemingly beautiful appearance, the inside was already rotten.

The commanding of tank troops is far more difficult than that of traditional arms (infantry, cavalry, artillery). In the early days of the Soviet-German War, most of the commanders of the Soviet tank troops had no experience in commanding tanks. How could they compare with the battle-hardened German armored forces? A battle!

First of all, in the Soviet armored forces (in fact, this is also true in other forces), the political commissar has higher power than the commander-in-chief of the army. It is good if you meet a political commissar who knows how to delegate power, but it will be miserable if you meet a political commissar who is very expressive. Especially in armored forces, the combat methods of armored forces are completely different from traditional arms. Commanding them can even be called an art, but after the purge, few Soviet military officers knew how to command armored troops, let alone political cadres.

In the early days of the Soviet-German War, countless tank units made unnecessary sacrifices "for Stalin and the Soviets" because of blind command.

Theoretically, the strength of a tank lies in its ability to balance the contradictions of maneuverability, firepower, and protection. During use, attention must be paid to the performance of maneuverability. However, due to the lack of clear and systematic tactical guidance, the Soviet tank force's combat effectiveness relied heavily on the commander. Due to their personal talents, the Soviet armored forces, which lacked excellent commanders, could not exert their combat effectiveness at all in the early stages of the war. They either charged alone and desperately like cavalry, or accompanied the infantry in helpless counterattacks, and then a little bit All is lost...

Yannick continued after sighing in his heart. "I remember that Mr. Molotov also signed when Marshal Tukhachevsky was executed, right? In this way, Mr. Molotov also indirectly helped Germany a big favor. So, as long as Molotov If you are willing to cooperate with us, not only can you save your life, but there will also be huge benefits in the future."

Molotov asked subconsciously. "What's the benefit?"

"The Soviet Union is too big for us to swallow. Except for important places such as Ukraine, I decided to divide the Soviet Union. Probably into a dozen countries. I can give you one of the countries. You may want to be emperor. Whether it’s president or general secretary, it’s up to you.”

"..." Molotov couldn't help but open his mouth, shocked by Yannik's whimsical plan. They have already thought about what to do after defeating the Soviet Union. How could the great Soviet Union be defeated so easily!

Seeing that Molotov was unmoved, Yannik knew that he had made the wrong offer.

Molotov was a "veteran" figure in the Soviet Union, Stalin's close comrade-in-arms and staunch supporter. Although Stalin did not fully trust him and his wife was persecuted by Stalin, he remained loyal to him from beginning to end. In firm support of Stalin. In the mid-1980s, he became a good friend of the famous Soviet poet Chuyev, and Chuyev spoke highly of Stalin in the 139 conversations he had with him.

Moreover, he is the number two figure in Stalin's leadership team and is very likely to become Stalin's successor (the issue of his successor also surfaced when Stalin was seriously ill in 45 years of the original time and space. The recognized candidate at that time was Zhedano, a senior official in Leningrad City) Husband and Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Foreign Minister Molotov), ​​he will control the entire Soviet Union by then, how can he look down on the leader of a small country like Yannik Chengruo.

Yannick decided to find another breakthrough. "I heard that your wife, Ms. Zhemchuzhina, is still alive?"

Molotov loved his wife and daughter deeply throughout his life. Whenever he went somewhere, he always took photos of his wife and daughter with him.

On the day of Stalin's funeral on March 9, 1953 (which happened to be Molotov's birthday), Khrushchev and Malenkov did not forget to wish him a happy birthday. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, he said only a few words: "Give me back my Polina." This request was immediately honored: a few days later, a generous gift (Paulina) came back to him around.

"If I remember correctly, you signed the 'capital punishment' report on the handling of Marshal Tukhachevsky's relatives, right? Tukhachevsky's mother, Mafra Petrovna, His wife Nina Yevgenyevna, his sisters Elizaveda Nikolayevna and Olya Nikolayevna, and his minor children... Tsk, you are so decisive. of."

"Well, do you remember the name of Marshal Tukhachevsky's daughter?" Yannick said slowly, looking at Molotov's confused expression. "I remember her name was 'Svetlana'."

"!!" The muscles on Molotov's face trembled violently, because his daughter was also named Svetlana, which is a quite fashionable name, and Stalin's daughter was also named Svetlana.

Yannick sneered. "Your daughter is also called 'Svetlana', right? What a coincidence. How old is your daughter this year? Fourteen or fifteen? I wonder who will write '' on your relatives' handling opinion report this time? ‘Capital punishment’? I don’t know much about the punishment in the Soviet Union. Can you explain to me what ‘capital punishment’ is?”
