That was it! He would not get blamed for the loss of these men under his command if he could pin the blame on those hooligans over there.
a hero who had slacked off would look nice in the records book for his ability to bring disciplinary actions!
This would be a good way to make sure he didn;t get the blame for losing the men
what an hole.

With parts of the enemy routed, the Khadrovian forces took time to clean up, and recognize that they had won. This city that was to be their ambush, the death trap that would break them, had turned into a victory instead. Vasily and his men were sitting on one of the enemy turrets that had landed on the street level,(after they had made it explode off the tank behind it) and had broken out the stash case and were celebrating, this time they were all there, and unscathed, minus a few minor burns and scratches that is.
Vasily spotted the kommissar speaking to a wildly gesticulating platoon officer, occasionally, he would point and she would look their way. He was starting to not like the amount of times this was happening, and was about to walk over to see what all the fussing was about when the officer turned and left as she started in their direction in a gait that meant she was about to be all business like with them.
"Sgt. Vasily", she said, here eyes looking hard as steel. "The Lieutenant of the first platoon has asked that I look into charges he has brought against you and your men!"
All stood up at that. Staying calm, he asked, "What charges Teona?" he used her first name to help defuse any anger she may have towards him and the gang.
"Sgt Vasily, you and you men are charged with dereliction of duty, endangering your fellow soldiers, and being drunk on duty!" she said calmly, "I hereby remand you to in house arrest and off duty until further notice, restriction to your billets until further notice as I investigate these charges."
"What about the next fight? you know we never shy away from battle Kommissar!, you know these charges are bogus!, well except the last one, but that helps us fight better, as we ignore the burning and stinging of the explosions like this." he argued.
She closed her eyes, bowed her head for a moment, then she looked him in the eyes. "I have made my declaration of investigation, do not make this hard for both of us." she said.
Meanwhile, from his vantage point Lt. Igor Troucesceau sniggered behind his field glasses. "What is so amusing lieutenant?" came a deep grumbling voice behind him, He lowered the lense piece and turned, towering over him was the massive battle priest., a large bottle in his hand, he smiled at the priest, "Oh just seeing things aright in the world is all brother." Orlov stood to his full height,(just how big was he?) and he smiled, "Well, as long as we can celebrate the defeat of our enemies in battle, we can toast!" the bigger man said, 'Oh and that's Father Orlov by the way."
"ahem, Lt. Troucesceau, father, hehehe!" hje replied as the father poured some vodka for him, (such an unrefined drink, he preferred the rarer Amasec himself) "you aren't the nervous type are you Lt? We need a strong platoon leader for the kinds of battles we get into! This is one of our better fights, and the way Vasily and his men cleared those tanks! of course, I couldn't take all of the kills myself, that would be a prideful thing to do, best let them do it!" he cheerfully said.
"Uh which one is Vasily?" the Lieutenant asked. Orlov craned his neck over the trench, Oh, he is talking with Kommissar Zvedvedov over there." he pointed and he saw it was the hooligans he wanted to have punished, now he realized that he had made charges of a severe kind against the most decorated hero of the entire Konfederacy Ground Forces! he was sweating as he gulped down the harsh, burning liquid. "oh that is Vasily, huh?" he said. "Doesn't look all that big from here." he said.
Orlov straightened up, I will figure that your recent transfer hasn't allowed you the proper time to know of these guys, they are the best tank killers with an unimpeachable record sir."
"Oh, well then, I hope that he can also deal with all kinds of problems then." he replied to Orlov. "Indeed he can." the priest replied. "I have others of the flock to see to." and with that he was gone, he saw the way the Lt paled when he looked at Vasily speaking with the Kommissar, he did not like that look, and he would find out why.

After the area was secured, Vasily and the "Violators" gathered around so he could brief them. They were chatting loudly as usual, and he had to get their attention, "LISTEN UP!, word is the new lieutenant has it out for us!" they grumbled, "Fortunately, all we have to do is stay put for a bit as our Kommissar does her investigation and not give him any more ammo, or her anymore grief than she has already having to deal with this situation. Seems he didn't like the losses, saw us celebrating after cleaning the tanks out, and decided to save his own ass with us as a scapegoat." he let that sink in.
Rostove was first to speak up. "So what you are saying is we are "grounded" from further ops till this clears?"
"Exactly right, and we have to behave ourselves as well, no getting hammered 'till further notice." Vasily replied.
"Oh no, I will die of thirst without my precious vodka!" said Rat as he feigned fainting backwards. The group laughed.
Vasily said, "That is correct, we have to drink Recaf or water for the meanwhile, We'll be pulling guard duties to stay busy."
Meanwhile Kommissar Zvedvedov wandered about the base, her mind trying to see what would defend Vasily and the men best against Troucesceau's charges, she wound up where she would normally go when troubled, the chapel. Father Orlov spotted her, "Ah Kommissar! to what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" he boomed.
"Oh, Father Orlov, I was wandering about, clearing my head." she admitted. "What has Vasily done to concern you so? is he on another of his dates with the nurse staff, that boy is incorrigible!, and blind!" he asked?
She blushed when she realized what he had said, and recovered fairly quick, "No that's not it Father, I am dealing with charges brought against him and his unit." She told him.
"Charges? what kind?" Orlov asked.
"The kind that could get men shot or sent to a Penal unit." she answered.
Orlov gave her an appraising look. "Our new Lieutenant was acting odd earlier, was it he that brought these charges to you on Vasily?" She nodded silently. He knew that while it was impolitic to have kommissars and soldiers have any sort of relations, something existed between her and Vasily, oh Vasily may be hiding behind the whole "fraternization" codes and such, but he could see how she had grown fond of that man in spite of the rules, Kommissars lead lonely lives it seemed and Vasily somehow had managed to crack that armor. He then spoke,
"Listen, I have faith that you will find the legal edge to get Vasily and the others off the hook while maintaining discipline in the ranks, of course Vasily get's a tad hard to control with being a beloved hero of the Konfederacy and all, but has he ever failed in his duty?"
She shook her head, "No, and that is the main crux, He has such a fine record, but is also usually earning it dangerously with that cache of booze they carry to battle."
"HA! who doesn't have something on them in battle to soothe their nerves?" the big priest laughed aloud. "I think that if you are to investigate one, then also look at the record of Troucescaeu as well! See why he is so worried about his record being tarnished and why he has it in for Vasily." He then added, "In my profession, it is usually the ones with guilty minds that lash out the most at those who are worthy of praise my dear."
She smiled, she knew that all of this would have an impact on her dealings with Vasily in the future, but she would investigate the Lieutenant as well. "Thank for your advice Father. I have much to think about that may help me."
"Anytime, now where is that cloth? I need to clean my weapon!" and he wandered off to leave her alone.
Lt. Troucescaeu was sipping a small glass of amasec, a good 12yr old variety, and eating fresh foods from a table He was looking at the map of the area, and likely zones that 1st platoon could avoid enemy panzer units. "Hmm, with that valley, there is no way the tanks could be used by either side, brilliant! we will be able to avoid using Vasily and his hooligans!" and at that he smiled a broad smile.

I'm dissapointed vasily won't be up to any action for a while (or will he? ), but that's all part of a good story's plot- you need a break from it until the big stuff happens.

I like complications for characters, makes for a more interesting plot!^^
