The Last Battle
based on the tale by O.Kravchenko
Damn it!
Cursed cockroaches!
Disarmament...
Infantry is outdated, apparently.
I, a distinguished general, am of no use to anyone!
Damn!
I need to find a more radical solution!
What? Nothing works against the cockroaches?
I can offer you the newest invention!
With the help of this device,
by sending a signal on the appropriate wavelength,
one can control the behaviour of cockroaches and other insects!
Look carefully: with this button, we turn on the device,
and by manipulating the buttons, we give them various orders.
For example: you can order the cockroaches to get into a pile, and destroy them!
I guarantee untouchable obedience!
I'll take it!
Right... uh-huh...
To me, all of you!
Stop!
Forward, March!
Just look at them go, eh? Hup, two! Hup, two!
Left turn!
Right turn!
Dig in!
Attack!
Withdraw!
Stop!
Excellent!
My army is ready for combat.
But where shall I find an enemy...?
Soldiers!
In light of the constant threat to our safety
from our potential enemy,
our brilliant high command (that's me),
has decided to carry out a pre-emptive strike!
The following task lies before you:
take the enemy's stronghold by storm,
and after destroying the food reserves, force the enemy to capitulate!
Heroes!...
I believe in your courage and valor!
Ready!
Attack! March!!!
You are broken, general.
Kindly capitulate.
You expect me to capitulate for someone in civilian clothing?!
Not on your life!
We're all in civilian clothing now.
Not long ago, I was a general of the air force.
