go out of it personally to dispose about evacuation of children, to check the performance of the order. The bullet hasovertaken him when he was already convinced that everything is executed precisely. Already then his sonwho has remained the orphan didn't doubt that he will carry on the family tradition and will become themilitary. And now he, John Parkers, the general ordering the American contingent of NATO in Europe. He was proud of the position and carried the officer's rank with honor.
From the grandfather and the father, and in general from a habitual working environment which was madegenerally military pathological hatred for Russia and all Russian was transferred to Parkers. He saw in herthreat, the enemy who needs to be crushed to save all free world from imperial ambitions of the Eurasianpower. The policy changed over time, but he considered that in military science it is better to be the mostconservative, otherwise become the hostage of the charm of the enemy behind whom war and deception arenecessary. Determination helped it to remain to the right principles. But recently in Parkers's soul in relationto Russia there was a fight. It has been connected with two events. First, sorting during the last holiday stuffon an attic of the house of the great-grandfather, John has found several old notebooks. On their turnedyellow pages he has found the memoirs of Hugh Parkers ordering separate crew of allied forces in Europe on the western front. He couldn't say that as the orphan needed care of relatives, the army relations havehelped to find to his new fathers and grandfathers, strong and clever, own commanders. But memories of thefamily have woken up in his feelings which have reminded him of their care and that love which only thehealthy child can feel. Adults not so often face the defended peace of the childhood. Even talented militaryin it weren't an exception. In the records Hugh's old times mentioned meetings with the Soviet soldiers morethan once. Rereading lines of the ancestor, John couldn't stop own curiosity. It forced it to understand whythe contemporary of the author of Little Prince saw in people from the country of his constant opponentsalready not only the Wednesday full of threat to peace, and loving people. The war, which has made alldefenders of the world has forced them all to unite for the sake of a vzhivaniye, forgetting for a while aboutthe conflicts between the countries. Foreigners were interesting to Hugh Parkers, he tried to understandtheir intentions and a way of actions. In his memoirs they were similar to Europeans, but preferred to keepmuch more modestly.
He described them very courageous, quiet, cheerful and benevolent people. As if summarizing the generalimpression, Hugh Parkers wrote: "The Russian soldiers are an internal force, and at the same time force – kind! These are simple peasants and workers who have had freedom and an opportunity to become at leastthe small heads loyal to the country. People who want to come back home somewhat quickly, to thefamilies, to the peaceful occupations. Unless we differ from them in this desire? It is necessary to be on friendly terms and cooperate with Russians, though it is necessary to be for this purpose cleverer, then we have got used. And then the West in the union with Russia, as if it wasn't called there, will be able to makecivilized the rest of the world!". Parkers has been shocked. Never he happened to speak with the great-grandfather about war. His grandfather and the son of the author of these lines has died when John was onlytwelve years old, in two years after death of the father. But his opinion concerning Russians has set thegeneral Parkers thinking.
Intelligence data became the second reason of change of the attitude of Parkers towards Russia. It hasturned out that in the conditions of the world fever of arms which has become possible thanks to sellingpoliticians, Russia spends the budget not for developments of new arms and means of protection, and forprograms for the disarmament of marauders. For most of news dealers they were called systems for spaceexploration. The clever general has understood at once that the paramount purpose of Russians in thisprogram is not the development of asteroids, but change of priorities of mankind at all. Has understoodParkers and the fact that the Russians have specially leaked information in NATO, as if in absentia invitingthe potential opponents to cooperation or, at least, rivalry, but out of Earth and finally to the benefit of mankind.
John didn't believe in accidents. And the fact that he with a difference in a month has learned about theRussian two facts which characterized them from especially positive side were from him he is familiar fromabove. He and his assistants have spent a month in hard work, finding out details of the Russian programs forchange of priorities and to the development of space. With surprise, he has found out that initiatives of Russians really cause in the spirit of sports passion is mute. He has noticed the same mood at ownsubordinates who as obliges followed the developments. Only a week he convinced himself that it is necessary to become neutral and to be engaged in something else. But then he has abused himself forcowardice. Why Russians have thought up how to be got involved in a fight with the bandits, wishing to winagainst everyone, including the one who hasn't chosen a way of destruction and marauding yet, and the armyof the USA has to concede to them, like the crew of a special purpose capable to work only in policeoperations under their beginning? The thought of submission by the Russian in strategic plans has made himthe fighter. He has understood that the officer shouldn't be a coward, even in such difficult situation as thisnew approach to the immorality of mankind, escalating in number.
The general has chosen for himself the only way which has become his credo the next years, to be engaged in re-education of people, but make it better, than the opponent. Two high ranking from command havewillingly listened to his arguments in favor of deployment of new programs. It even seemed to him that thegenerals are attracted by new developments which will help to bring up the real patriots of the country andwill give additional allocations. All his analytical departments already collected materials for the argumentof new plans above. At last, the obtained data have allowed Parkers to prepare as it seemed to him, theconvincing report. He has arrived in Sweden only after several hours prior to the meeting. The protocolprovided only one meeting therefore before it it has decided to pass a little on foot. Then it seemed to himthat on the street of the capital, he too draws attention when strides with two security guards on the almostempty street. He has changed the car and has included news. Televised reports on events at the last meeting, then about wars and judicial proceedings. Exchange quotations have again replaced shots from the place of the conflict in one of the African countries. If he also had doubts in the correctness of the chosen way, feelings from a spirit of TV channel have dispelled them completely. "The world has become better and it will be more human", –
