“Sir, you have a call from Moscow on line three, the blinking line.” Sergeant Glasha Yevgenievna spoke through the intercom connection with Colonel Elin Yanovich.

“Hello, Colonel Elin Yanovich, here.”

“Elin, it is me, General Tima Aleskeevich. How are you, my old friend?”

“I am fine, General, so what can I do for you?”

“Nothing for me, but the Marshal of the Russian Federation wants to know how a group of farmers and peasants wiped out one of our companies. He is livid, and his rage was obvious at this afternoon’s meeting. He wants the commander shot.”

“Sir, Moscow presented the commander of that company with three very high medals and even promoted him from the enlisted ranks, and now you want me to shoot him? Not a month ago the Marshal of the Russian Federation was praising his name.”

“The Marshal has no idea what we are fighting there, but I did give him a copy of the recommendations following the attack and I hope that works to sooth his anger. Your Captain Georgiy made some very important and accurate statements in that report.”

“That he did. Moscow must stop sending us complete units made up of new Privates right out of school or off the farm. I am afraid the violence here shocks the hell out of them and if we can get a mix of new and experienced people, we will do much better. The fight has changed, especially since the Chinese are in the game.”

“Have any of their troops been used yet, other than those flying aircraft?”

“Negative as far as we know. I would not be surprised to see a Chinese tank in the field these days, manned by partisans. The resistance is suddenly better armed, but I hear their grenades have faulty delays and can explode early or late, or not at all.”

“Well, old friend, that is the second reason for my call. Satellite images show hundreds of Chinese Type 59-I tanks being shipped and we both know where they are headed. I suggest, very strongly, that you start issuing anti-tank weapons to your squads effective today. The image I saw was an old one from about six months back, but our intelligence thinks the resistance are now ready to use them.”

“Sir, they cannot seriously use tanks until they get more air support, and each tank would need to have enough partisans around to defend it. Where would they refuel them or do maintenance on the vehicles? However, I will follow your advice about the anti-tank weapons, because it would be like them to send a few out just to raise hell. I can tell you our anti-aircraft efforts are moving along smoothly with guns and missiles being installed daily.”

“Other than Captain Georgiy's loss of his company things in Moscow are quiet, and while the war is more or less a stalemate, no bad news is out either. I want the dates and times for the gas delivery moved up by a month. This is being done because of the capture of Colonel Denisovich and the fact that every POW talks eventually.
