The whole country is preparing for war and is strengthening its combat power. New air divisions are being created, new mechanized corps appear, new fortified areas are being built from the Baltic to the Black Sea. A fighter of the First Special Reconnaissance and Sabotage Brigade of the General Staff of the Red Army Ivan Zhukov with the call sign "Beetle" is also preparing, increasingly thinking about a military career. But for Major Samoilov - the Commander - the war has already begun. And for the sake of future victory, he is ready to go, if not for everything, then for a lot. Help Bars organize another SWAT base? Easy. Put mortars on tanks? Easily. Initiate a purge among Air Force leadership? Once it is necessary. The summer of the 41st is already close, and it will show whether they are all doing the right thing, not sparing themselves or others.
