    About this ebook

    What are the relations between the state and its army? Reasonable person would say that the army is in the service of civil society. But in some places it happens vice versa: the army sets the rules of life for ordinary citizens. I know a very nice city with unique sea coves and magnificent ancient architecture. Many years ago navy selected the City for place of permanent residence. This Navy so likes City that he doesn't want to leave it. He put his ships with thousands of tons of explosives into the picturesque bay of City.
    In terms of military strategy it will be advantageous if Navy will leave the city to place in the sea deserted bays. But Navy likes comfort and attention. Any sailor is interested in watching beautiful girls on the city's waterfront than to admire the sunset from a desert island. A sailor, getting off his ship, immediately get at the center of City with its boutiques and restaurants.
    But City is choking with the military neighbor. He can not build beaches for children in his unique bays. He can not invite foreign investors to set up a modern production.
    What can City do and how to change the thinking of military commanders? I tell about this in my novel. To accompany the text I drew seven humorous illustrations. Have a nice reading!

      Prologue

      What are the relations between the state and its army? Reasonable person would say that the army is in the service of civil society. But in some places it happens vice versa: the army sets the rules of life for ordinary citizens. I know a very nice city with unique sea coves and magnificent ancient architecture.

      1. The Commander of the Missile Cruiser

      At the hour of summer morning Peter Smeltsov was walking to work. Peter lived in the legendary city and held the position of The Commander of Missile Cruiser. The cruiser based in one of the bays of the city, so that it was impossible to go to it on foot. But Peter was walking. He stood on the deck of the motor boat that was swimming across water of the bay. He stood without the slightest motion but sailors of the cruiser were pointing the fingers at him, saying: Commander is walking!. Never a sailor say: Commander is swimming. The verb to swim is used by them for a smutty subject.

      Peter followed with interest the work of the sailor Ilya Kuznetsov. Ilya, dressing in climbing equipment, hung outside the cruiser and painted over a big crack on the cruiser's broadside.

      Eh, I'll not make it, thought Peter. "They can put me overboard, but
