Description
"Really, JS, we must speak!" Eve cried.
"Immediately, or you can wait until the evacuation is over?"
"Yes, I mean, when we have carried everybody away. But soon!"
JS nodded: "Check that everybody's on board, and most of all that nobody goes back to look for something".
Eve watched him bustling around fixing wires, and grinned: "Re-furnishing?"
JS grinned back: "A welcome present for the RATs. They'll fly directly to their Great Sun!"
The evacuation went on rapidly and efficently. When the last ranch was empty and "refurbished" everybody heaved a sigh of relief. They'd managed it!
Once again in the op room, JS listened to update intelligence.
"RAT dropships are taking off from the area of the mines in BC1. Two of them've just landed in BC3 and BC11".
"Tune in to RAT frequency 375", JS told the operator.
After a few seconds, they heard a frenzy of RATs'shrill chirrups, mixed with some Rogue low growls.
JS cried: "They unwrapped our gifts, but they didn't like the surprise!"
A shout welcomed the news and everybody slapped his/her neighbour's shoulder.
"Check their movements," JS said. "Eve, come with me to my office!".
They had just opened the office door, that the interphone croaked: "The President on the direct line, sir!"
JS looked at Eve ruefully.
"I'm going to the Martian town to check whether everything runs smoothly. I'm back later," she announced, and slipped away.
"Sir?" JS began quizzically as soon as the screen showed him a clearly distressed President.
"OMG, I promoted you, I trusted you, and you...you... you started a war, and a few weeks before elections!" JS tried to resist the Great Man's emotional flood, to no avail: "I know, GOD told me," said the President. "But a bunch of Martian oaves are not the same as if an Earthener... I mean, yes they have the same value for me, you understand me... but not for the public opinion. They're not of the same value. They're crucifying me. The opposition encourages hotheads and troublemakers. Look! They've arrived even here!"
The President pointed at the porthole. Then he added petulantly: "And at the GUN Council the Rogues have portrayed you as a criminal. And our media are covering it only to flagellate me. We must retreat from NM, so the Doves will quiet down... and ETHIC too!"
Finally JS managed to interrupt the beleaguered leader's monologue: "They killed two of us. GOD's people will react badly if we retreat with our tail between our legs! And we are tax-payers and voters, too! What do you think the public opinion will react, when the RATs will start the wholesale slaughter of innocent people?"
"Do you think I don't know it?" replied the other with a shrill voice. "What a mess, whatever move I make, I'll lose votes!"
"If I may, sir..." JS uttered suavely, and at the Great Man's nod, went on: "Your administration may donate all the military equipment to the legitimate government of NM as a sign of friendship. Therefore, the Earthener personnel will be made only of counselors, and we'll have the control of Bradburyton for 10 years. Our personnel will perform only training and advisory tasks, and will use weapons only for self-defense".
The President mused on this proposal a few seconds: "Yes, it may work. But don't forget we must NOT be involved in actual fight!"
JS replied: "I promise that neither soldiers nor vehicles with Earthener insignia will engage the enemy, sir!"

the stage described in your comment explains perfectly the duality of powers the elective and the serviceman. He is always so in electoral situations, where the sitting please not give catch to his opposition, near the date of elections the serviceman doing his job and not willy-nilly blinded by ambition others than well do his job; nevertheless, carelessly, govern me confessed to the serviceman one of his weak points among whom this one will be able to use the time come in spite of his promise! VERY GOOD text and picture!!!
