Deputy Division Commander Mayor Domitian

Schon zu Zeiten des Großen Krieges begann Domitian seine Karriere bei den Streitkräften des russischen Zarenreichs. Aufgrund seiner hervorragenden Sprachkenntnisse wurde er umgehend als alliierter Soldat zur mit dem Zarenreich alliierten Streitmacht entsandt, um diese bei ihren Bemühungen zu unterstützen. In der Streitmacht diente Domitian bis ins Jahr 1938/39 in der Kriegsmarine und arbeitete sich vom einfachen Soldaten bis zum Offizier hoch. Vor allem die Zeit mit dem jetzigen Admiral größenwahn prägte die Zeit, des damals noch jungen Soldaten. So war es eben jener Admiral, der den jungen Domitian aufnahm, wie einen seiner eigenen Soldaten.

Gemeinsam dienten beide auf dem Schweren Kreuzer Prinz Eugen und deckten den gemeinsamen Vorstoß der Streitmacht-Truppen in Norwegen. Trotz herber Verluste wurde die Prinz Eugen allen Ansprüchen gerecht, genau wie die gesamte Streitmacht selbst. So zog der Weg des noch jungen Soldaten immer größere Bahnen innerhalb der Streitmacht. Während die Streitmacht weitere Unternehmen in Afrika und Westeuropa startete, konzentrierte sich die Kriegsmarine darauf, die britischen Handelswege zu stören. So gelang es der Kriegsmarine unter dem tapferen Heldeneinsatz all seiner Mitglieder, die teilweise Vermienung der Themsemündung, das Absichern der Kriegseinsätze in den Benelux Ländern, wie auch Frankreich aber auch zahlreiche Versenkungen vor der britischen Küste. Auch die Störung des Konvoiverkehrs mit U-Booten schien langsam seine Wirkung gegen das Britische Empire zu entfalten, doch wurde die Marine, wie auch die gesamte Streitmacht von der einseitigen Kapitulation der eigenen Regierung überrascht. Der ehemals junge Soldat, nun gedienter Offizier hatte nun, im Jahre 1927 keine andere Wahl, seine Heimreise nach Russland anzutreten. Jedenfalls fürs erste.

Doch das was er dort sah, das was er dort antraf überraschte ihn. Der Große Krieg, oder jedenfalls seine Auswirkungen, hatten das Zarenreich mindestens genauso hart getroffen, auch wenn es selber nie am Krieg teilgenommen hatte. Die Oktoberrevolution hatte seine Heimat ergriffen! Prompt wurde Domitian Mitglied der KPdSU und schloss sich als Überläufer der Roten Armee an. Während sich die Lage in der Heimat immer weiter stabiliserte, lernte Domitian was es heißt ohne richtigen Einsatz an der Front zu leben. Denn so ruhiger die Lage wurde, umso weniger Einsätze hatte er. Genau zu dieser Zeit lernet er auch, in einem Leningrader Cafe, die junge Bardame Masha kennen, mit der sich schnell eine romantische Beziehung entwickelte. Diese hielt auf Grund der Rastlosigkeit und Frustration Domitians über seine Lage, jedoch nicht lange. Ein Thema, das die Beziehung rückblickend von Anfang an belastete. Getrieben von seinem Verlust und seinem verlorenen Glück steigerte sich Domitian immer weiter in seine ungeliebte Arbeit am Schreibtisch.

Im Jahre 1938 kehrte Domitian schließlich in den Dienst der Kriegsmarine zurück, dieses Mal jedoch als alliierter Offizier der Roten Armee. Hier traf Domitian auch Admiral größenwahn wieder, der inzwischen das Amt des Oberbefehlshabers der Marine innehatte. Dort nahm Domitian an den Unternehmen Fasanenjagd und dem Unternehmen Troll teil. Beim zweiten Unternehmen kam es jedoch zu einem einschneidenden Erlebnis, da sein eigenes Schiff von der HSwMS Wrangel zerstört wurde. Domitian kann sich dabei nicht mehr an viel erinnern, nur dass eine unglaubliche Explosion sein Schiff erfasste und danach alles dunkel um ihn herum wurde. Nach einigen Disziplinarmaßnahmen und Versetzungen auf Grund der Vorfälle, die mit der Operation zusammenhingen, begab sich Domitian auf seine eigene Mission. Er floh wieder zurück in die Sowjetunion, wo er umgehend vom NKVD aufgeschnappt wurde. Da die Rote Armee ihn nie zurückgerufen hatte, hatte man natürlich seine Zweifel beim NKVD, welcher eben jene Situation auch prompt ausnutzte, um ihn in ein Himmelfahrtskommando in die Vereinigten Staaten zu schicken. Dieses Unternehmen wurde als absolut geheim eingestuft, sodass es auch keine Akten zu der Operation oder der Wiedereinreise Domitians gibt. Der Plan sah vor, dass er dort auf offiziellem Wege einreisen und über die kommenden Jahre Informationen für den NKVD sammeln sollte. Trauen taten die Amerikaner ihm jedoch nie. Zwar sperrten sie ihn nie offiziell ein, oder konnte ihm offiziell Spionage vorwerfen, doch lebte Domitian dort ein Leben in totaler Überwachung. Kein Schritt blieb unbeobachtet und das bis ins Jahre 1946, als Domitian mit einem selbst organisiertem Transportflugzeug und der Hilfe eines alten Freundes endlich über Alaska die USA in Richtung Sowjetunion, seiner Heimat, verlassen konnte. Ob der Genosse in dieser Zeit geheime Informationen sammeln konnte, bleibt bis heute unbeantwortet.

Mayor Domitian enters his office in the new command post of the soviet army for the first time. After all this time he is looking forward to finally being able to go back to work full of energy. Since there are still no orders or documents to be found on his desk, the Mayor goes to the shelters of his regiments.
There the Mayor gets a picture that he knows only too well. Soldiers who drink, play with cards or just do their duty, cleaning their weapons or stacking boxes for loading and transport to the next command post. In general, there is currently a very lively activity there and the Mayor can not help sinking into it for a moment. Only the rain that started slowly brings him back to his senses.
He fixes his voice and suddenly his voice echoes with one blow:


Stand still comrades! Line up for appeal!

Some soldiers may seemed surprised, but only until they saw who was standing in front of them. Within a few moments, most of his regiments were gathered before him

My comrades! Genosse.....
I am glad to see you all gathered here. I thought I would take advantage of this wonderful moment to introduce you to the new commander of your regiments, namely the 42nd Guards Rifle Regiment, the 32nd Guards Artillery Regiment, the 4th Guards Anti-Tank Battalion and the 14th Reconnaissance Company. From this day I will take over command of those regiments. Together we will lead your regiments to new ideals and new bestforms. Together we will show the whole division what we are made of. This work will cost sweat my comrades and it will cost blood, but be assured that in the end it's going to be worth it. Expect severity! But always expect an open ear for the concerns of your regiments!
In the coming days I will inspect your regiments very carefully so that we are always ready to leave as soon as possible. So keep ready at any time my comrades.
You're dismissed! Genosse.....

The mayor salutes his soldiers, turns on the heel of his boot and walks through the starting rain, back towards the command post. It occurs to him that he urgently needs an adjutant and he immediately thinks of the right person for this job

In the early evening, Comrade Mayor Domitian is going through some of his newly arrived files, when suddenly there is a knock on his door and his secretary Anastasija, who he had met shortly before, enters.

Comrade Mayor Genosse.....
you had been looking for suitable applicants for the position of your adjutant. I have already gone through the division's files and have already invited any suitable applicants, graded according to their qualifications. You can find the files with the applicants on the left section of your desk and as I can see, you already found them... By the way, fresh coffee is also ready. Is there anything else I can do for you, Comrade Mayor?

Comrade Mayor Domitian looks surprised towards his secretary while he has to grin

Excellent work, comrade Anastasija! I hope we have some good and competent applicants, but with your knowledge I don't seem to have to worry. And yes... you can bring me the coffee, preferably the whole pot of coffee, at the speed that you set. You're dismissed Anastasija, and send me the applicants as soon as they arrive!

Anastasija gives the comrade a smile, salutes and leaves the office while the comrade Mayor continues to devote himself to his files and starts checking the applicants before they actually arrive.

After countless discussions with the applicants for the position of adjutant, the last applicant, Comrade Leytenant Popov, has now entered.

After a very constructive discussion, the mayor lights a cigarette and lets all applicants go through his head. Leytenent Popov has so far proven to be the most capable of all. Not only his countless war experiences could be an advantage, but also his collegial and jovial manner could help to weld the troops even closer together. Most of the other applicants didn't seem to have convinced him. They were all specialists in their fields or had long served in the Red Army, but none of them get close to the first impression that Leytenant Popov made on the Mayor. The Mayor takes another drag from his cigarette, puts it thoughtfully in his glass ashtray, grabs his notepad and hastily writes a short note for his secretary before he makes his way to his comrade Comrade Barankin.

Late in the evening Mayor Domitian goes through some of his files about the regiments' supply situation. He notices that the 32nd Guards Artillery Regiment and the 4th Guards Anti-Tank Battalion still have to build up ammunition reserves, in order to be able to practice effectively, but also to be ready for combat.
Things are looking better at the 42nd Guards Rifle Regiment and the 14th Reconnaissance Company. These regiments appear to be fully equipped, but some of the soldiers are just fresh out of their basic training. Accordingly, it must be considered here, to expand the number of courses and, if necessary, to tighten the time of the courses. Mayor Domitian decides to write the new findings briefly on a piece of paper and then to hand them over to Anastasija for a final copy, as this knowledge can prove to be valuable for further communication among the regiments, but also for the preparation of combat readiness.
Finally the Mayor gets up, adjusts his uniform for a moment and goes out the door to finally go to sleep after a long day.

Mayor Dome takes a look at the right one at his division. First he goes to Mayor Domitian, who has already introduced himself to his units and has checked the ammunition capacities.

Comrade Mayor, Russe...
I hope I do not disturb you. a Chines....

Mayor Domitian looks up from his desk in surprise and is pleased to see Mayor Dome

Comrade Mayor Dome Genosse.....
No, you aren't bothering. Can I offer you something to drink or don't you plan to stay here longer?

Dome looks at the comrade happily when he offers him something to drink. Outside, the temperatures have just reached -10 °, so something to drink is just right.

With pleasure, comrade, do you have some tea for me?

Of course comrade, Anastasija will make you a tea as soon as possible.

The Mayor calls his secretary over and tells her his and the comrade's drinking requests, whereupon she reappears after a very short time with a coffee and a tea.
After the Mayor has taken a strong sip from his cup, he turns his attention to comrade Dome again


So what brings you to my office comrade? Definitely not just the miserable temperatures outside.

Anastasija?

Dome is lost in memories when he was still on guard in Yekatarinburg. At that time he had to guard the tsarist family, and he got along particularly well with his daughter Anastasia.
She was 17 years old when the 20 year old Dome was in Yekatarinburg. Despite the circumstances, it was a rather happy time, which was mainly due to the Tsar's children and their happiness.
At that time he felt a close connection to Anastasia, although he was already married. Through a Cheka soldier who was friends at the time, he knew what was going to happen and reacted accordingly to save the young princess. The last thing he knew was that she was going to France and Dome hasn't seen her since. Only one chain remained, which he still wears today ... Then Dome went back to the present.


Well, comrade, of course I didn't just come to you because of the weather. I wanted to take a look, have you already gotten to know the troops?

Then Dome took a sip of his tea, which directly warmed him inside.

You mean my secretary? For my part: I don't know how she got here. When I moved into my new office, she wasn't there, it wasn't until I was about to leave my office at noon that she was sitting at the desk in front of the door and honestly I have to say, that I am absolutely impressed of her. I've never had a secretary as competent as her.

Mayor Domitian recognizes the fact that the comrade seems a bit quieter and more thoughtful for a moment, but decides to put the knowledge behind and to answer the comrade's question

In fact, I've already dealt with the troops a little. I am definitely convinced of the mental attitude of my men, but some still lack experience in the service of the weapon. In addition, two regiments still lack ammunition stocks to prepare for combat readiness. I have already addressed this problem. So I am convinced and also willing that we can restore the regiments to combat readiness as quickly as possible.

Dome looks at Domitian in amazement.

Was she there all of a sudden? I hope you checked your background, we don't want any spies here.

Then he makes a few notes.

2 Regiments lack of ammunition? Propably the logistics haven´t noticed the transport from Stalingrad.
I'll see that something like that doesn't happen again, comrade.

Yeah experience is unfortunaly nothing we can buy, but we can train the troops.
This will be very important for the coming tasks a Chines....

From what I can see in the files and find there about her, her curriculum vitae is flawless and, strangely, extremely detailed. Born in Leningrad, started studying at the Zhdanov State University, but dropped out. There she worked as a secretary for a Industrial State Coorperation. This was followed by a brief assignment as a secretary in the party's central office, but this time in Kiev, before she was drafted into the service of the Red Army with the mobilization. I only know nothing about her childhood or youth, which I dind't asked about either, because after all, her curriculum vitae doesn't raise any essential questions. Even if she may not have been assigned to me directly, I have decided to keep her here for the time being.

The mayor decides to change the subject of the discussion

As for the condition of the regiments, I'm glad the ammunition is arriving soon. This is the only way we can guarantee to be able to carry out all training courses on the weapon and to maintain our combat readiness.
Our soldiers' experience will increase in time, comrade. I think that the first courses will certainly have an impact on our soldiers. Everything else comes from the first exercises and battles.

Dome listens carefully to Mayor Domitian's statement. His thoughts are buzzing around in his head. "Is it possible?" he wonders.

Comrade, I would like to speak to your secretary in my office soon. Please give me the files so that I can get an overview later. a Chines....

Then Dome first comes back to the essentials.

You are absolutely right and it seems that it will not be long before the soldiers are needed. Time is against us Comrade Mayor.
