Moscow

Three-star General Larkov was sitting at his office desk and savouring a small bowl of borsch. He put down his spoon and lifted his head to glance at the scenery outside his window. The view of the Kremlin was spectacular, especially during the early Russian spring. He smiled and sat back in his chair to relax.

"Sir! General!" came a shout and the door burst open. Nikolai, his assistant came rushing in with a piece of paper in his hands "Sir, a telegram from the President. Read it, now." he said and anxiously handed the paper to Larkov. He stretched his hand and took the paper from Nikolai. "Calm down, Nikolai. We aren't at war." Larkov said.

"We are now." replied Nikolai.

Larkov's eyes scanned through the whole paper, and after what seemed like hours, he slowly looked up at Nikolai. Getting up from his seat, he said softly "Does America know?"

"No, sir. It is regarded as top secret."

Larkov took a deep breath and glanced outside at the Kremlin again "Know this, if this war will cost us the motherland, know that I never wanted this. But I will do my duty to Mother Russia." Nikolai nodded his head slowly.

Larkov turned to his waiting assistant "Get the troops ready."
