Ways to heaven. Colonization of Mars I
Шрифт:
Only his courage was the cause. The command car was well protected, but he has decided to 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", – he has thought.
And now, going beyond a tribune of the conference hall of the General Assembly of NATO, he felt that in hishands now destiny of the whole world. At a special meeting there were heads of all member countries of Northern Alliance. Journalists in the hall weren't, the meeting was closed. Parker went beyond a tribune andhas begun the performance. His first words have been devoted to his fidelity to duty to gather on theweapon. He hasn't forgotten to remind them that all most glorified battles of the world, including one of them, remained fight of good against the evil where the last has been stopped. Seeing approval of listeners, he has approached a main goal.
– The modern world is in danger! And a source of this danger are not only Russia and China, not radical Islamand terrorists, not dictatorships in Southeast Asia and Latin America today. We get used that the enemy – thisthat group of people, which to us was described in school and institute textbooks. We become conservativesbecause of inability to think, because of internal aging. We cease to see new modern danger and because of fear to lose the place or to become objectionable to the higher commander. We forget that the newproblems arising now demand too from military of protection and the ability to prevent a trouble. Again andagain we forget that the best military are not even those which have won against the enemy, and managednot to allow the conflict. Politicians in difficult situations call troops. The army places a curfew on the citywhere disorders, rage, checks documents it is, more, than the police, interrogates suspicious people.
Everything together has a main goal – to bring rebelled to the normal human state.
Now we had a new opponent. These are the mods not habitual to us or not capable to support in the countrynormal life cruel dictators. The new fighting task is much more difficult, then fight with the armies locatedaround ours. Now it is possible to call rebelled usual people of the Western world, received, despite all bansof the Convention of the UN "About arms", access to the most different types of weapon, including – massdefeat. Yes! You shouldn't do the surprised persons! Thanks to corruption manifestations and short-lived firmsthis weapon promptly extends among any crowd, including – among potential criminals and maniacs of allcolors. Ideas that this weapon will shoot against our enemies, aren't implemented in practice. Even at largeinternational commercial corporations investigation and counterintelligence, their agents in all largeinternational terrorist and criminal groups, perfectly works at borders – rigid control! It is impossible to forget that most of their owners, especially in the territories of the countries of the former Warsaw pact, arethe former staff of intelligence agencies, high military who have stopped being only military and havereceived own situation thanks to abuses of office powers. The wealth does them capable of the means to create the equipment for production of weapons of mass destruction, psychothrone, biological. Thegovernment institutions which are engaged in development and the maintenance of the dangerous types of arms have a lot of controlling structures. With their help even the angry chief of laboratory can't destroy allmankind in a rush of anger. With the advent of new recipes of poisons and frequencies killing the personwhich developments have once been allowed in secret laboratories and are generously paid by ourintelligence agencies, the situation has changed. The recipe cost billions, but after his emergence as thepoison made after it to the recipe will cost only one thousand dollars. Many have such means. And they arewhere control of military any countries won't be able to find danger before it has caused the accident.
Parkers for several seconds has stopped and has taken a view of the audience. It was important for it to understand whether listeners are ready to agree with the beginning of expansion of new programs at once. After obtaining the invitation to a meeting he understood that his colleagues from NATO won't be surprised, having learned about the purpose of the program of Russians. Their own investigation has come to the sameconclusions about their purpose almost along with him. If there were delays, then only because his ownheadquarters transferred information to partners not at once, having own purposes of trade data. Faces of listeners expressed interest and tranquility. He even began to speak more firmly to strengthen the effect of the report, and to offer even more arguments.
