Family history of Feldwebel Nikolai Sovok

[Sturmwind]

During his captivity in the detached house, a high ranking Naval Intelligence officer, Major Fedor Nikolaievits Koslov visited Sasha. The reason for the visit and the relative comfort the prisoner could enjoy was that the secret service already knew of his presence in the Spanish infantry, even before the siege of Madrid started. It was important because the Major assumed it would be easier to turn Sasha "back to the light" than any other regular infantryman, considering his Russian origins. Since the Spanish fleet was still a key component of the Alliance forces, despite the fact that their country was now under Coalition control, the Naval Intelligence had their plans to exploit Sasha's internal knowledge regarding the subject, in short they wanted to turn him into a spy.

At that point, the outcome of the war was starting to become obvious. The Coalition was close to taking Earth and already captured almost the whole inner rim. The only choice of Kuznetsov was to aid the communist expansion if he wanted to assure that his evacuated family is given a pardon, preferably even higher circumstances of living once the war was over. Needless to say, he was generations behind the national bolshevik ideas, forgetting what the communists did to his ancestors. He was also enraged how his former comrades treated him. Given a throughout persuation, he decided to aid the Coalition forces.

His first assignments were rather basic. He did not yet go undercover, but had to decrypt transmissions between the Hispanic fleet and the final milestones of Spanish resistance. He played a key role in disabling the Portuguese air defense system aswell, then taking down the chain of command during the Lisbon siege. Fortunately for him, the Portuguese army was in strong cooperation with the Spanish one, even using the same coding setups for transmissions, most of which he already knew. He kept reporting to Major Koslov and eventually won his loyality in the eyes of the Coalition commanders themselves as the whole of Europe was captured.
