I do indeed remember the Volkhan's tyranny and the atrocities committed in his name. I was able to escape with Katz and the forces loyal to the True Ikon and the Coalition People.
We did not flee, we simply reorganized our forces..and as you well know, we launched an assault on Volgograd in order to regain control in the end.
I myself was severely wounded fighting Volkhanist rebels while Loyalist forces pushed into Volgograd proper. Because of the Volkhan, I lost a great deal of those who I held dear to me. Many former friends of mine succumbed to his methods and were killed fighting against Loyalist forces, others still, remained loyal, and were killed fighting to take back their homes in the name of the True Ikon, and The Coalition People.
You need not remind me of that period in our history, I know it well.
And, do you think for a minute that I would be foolish enough to have you publicly executed? Do you think for a minute that I have not maintained a tight grasp over the media? His Watchful Eye presides over our Commissariat even now, and has remained loyal to me.
Anyway...Let us forget about that for a moment here...Da?
Simply put, you show up, virtually out of the shadows, a ghost of the past...And you start out by making demands? Would you have attempted that with Premier Katz? or with Grand Admiral McIntosh before him? I do not think you would have.
So why do this now? You are not even acting in a manner befitting a Coalition Militsonyer, let alone the manner of a General and you expect me to trust you, and to instantly reinstate you to your former post?
You must take me for a fool, if you believe that I would make a General of somebody who I do not trust, or who speaks in such a way to his Premier.
Prove to me that you continue to be Loyal to the Coalition, Prove that you will be loyal to me, and prove to me that I have a use for you.
For the Glory of The Coalition, Premier Colonel, Katya Vaschenko, Out.
