Edge of Honor
“He had never suspected such a structure existed and the long underground corridors showed none of the decay afflicting the rest of the Russian military. He told the driver of the electrified golf cart whisking him to the operations center to slow so he could take it all in. The respect paid by the officers who recognized him was exactly right; an unsmiling face, an inquisitive look, followed by a little nod. The cart stopped in front of a heavy blast door that led to the ops center.
“So, this i...s where we conduct a war,” Vashin said, still not truly believing he had reached the heart of the Russian military.
The general major, a one-star, escorting Vashin turned him over to the general colonel, a three-star, who would take him inside. Vashin almost laughed when he saw the old-fashioned Plexiglas wallboards where sergeants still posted information in grease pencil. His own Action Room buried in the basement of Vashin Towers made this look like a throwback to the Cold War. The three-star led him to a traditional map table that was surrounded by more generals.MoreLess
