Echelon Zueva with cars and people approached the station, where he was met by the authorities of the naval base. Zampolit was on duty at the window, preparing to present the red banner, conquered on virgin soil. The red banner of the state farm, which he had, as the apple of his eye, stood in the corner of the compartment, next to the case. Everyone entering the compartment saluted the banner, and then turned to the senior officer in the compartment. Everyone understood that the virgin freemen was over, the girls, who had somehow leaked into the train, were immediately disembarked at the first stop. And everyone understood that it was time to bring people to the true meridian of military service.

And Zuev caught himself thinking that he did the right thing, that he didn’t take Faina with him, who, to tell the truth, didn’t really want this, realizing that she had absolutely no need for this vague prospect of her further relationship with Zuev, who in recent days, he lived with very different thoughts, realizing that he had to report to the fleet command for all the problems that had arisen during the harvest, as well as for military discipline and order in the company. The energetic and strong-willed officer suddenly felt a pain in his heart at the thought that he was so free to behave on the virgin soil, changing his wife with the energetic beauty Faina. And that, meanwhile, having forgotten that this dope of love, killed her only from the sight of Zuev himself, but he hardly disappeared from the visual presence on her horizon, as Faina immediately found a new object of languid sighs and hot kisses with the second secretary of the district party committee. No wonder her favorite song was the words "The heart of beautiful women is prone to treason and change, like the wind of May."

When Zuev reported on the successes of the company in harvesting, he suddenly noticed that the deputy commander of the rear of the naval base was listening to him formally, yawning. When Zuev finished the report, the political officer asked:

- And there were no emergencies with the death and injury of people in your company ?!

- Yes sir! It was not, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel!

- Well, well done. The rest is no need to report. As the company is disbanded, you will answer to the commanders of the units about the work of their personnel on virgin soil.

- And here is our advanced standard for the first place in the harvest. Our company donated so much grain that it would be enough for our garrison for 68 years ...

- Oh, that's how it is! Commendable ..., - replied the political officer of the rear.

“And here is our banner,” Zuev assented, seeing as two soldiers from the first platoon of marines entered his office.

- Wonderful banner. And what a great velvet, - confirmed Tanygin, feeling the flag of the banner.

- Comrades sailors. Take this banner to our room of military and labor glory, ”said the commander of the rear to two marines standing at attention at this banner.

The banner was taken away, and the commission sitting at the table continued to “torture” Zuev on the disbandment of the company. But there were no emergencies in the company, so the questions soon stopped. Zuev was released, he approached his warrant officer Babenko and quietly asked: “Stepanych. Did you see where they took the banner? ”

- No, I did not see, But the deputy politician said that in the room of military glory ...

“Let's see how it decorated this room.”

Michman caught one of the standard-bearers and asked:

- And where is the banner?

- Yes, here. Not far away ... Want to see?

“Take us along,” Zuev said.

The sailor, having saluted, led them to the floor above, where there was nothing in the attic. They were taken aback when they saw a bunch of similar banners lying in bulk in the most remote corner of this warehouse. And the banner of their company, someone stuck in a half-empty barrel, so that its cloth touched a pile of lying banners ...

“Is this the room of the Battle Glory?” - Zuev asked the sailor, the purple one, like a cooked crab.

- Yes, you are not angry, comrade captain of the third rank, we didn’t have such a room, and this, - he ran a hand to the side of the property lying on the floor, - our commander jokingly calls this warehouse a room of military glory. Here are all the banners and prizes that were awarded to units of the rear for the performance of combat and labor tasks and the sailors of the rear of the naval base.

- Zuev just shook his head, and then looked at the sailors. Those were embarrassed to see drops of tears on his eyelashes.

- Wrap our banner in his case and take it to my jeep. And you, Stepanych, go and install it in our club immediately at the table of the prizidium on the stage. Yes, so that the golden letters on it were visible to everyone ... Got it ?!

- Yes, Comrade Commander ...

But Zuev did not get away with his decision to take the banner to his unit. The head of the polit-department of the rear of the naval base gritted his teeth at the sight of Zuev. And then Zuev realized that all those conversations about his trip to the virgin lands were not empty gossip envious. His best friend of the family, the head of the organizational department of the rear headquarters, already managed to whisper to the rear commander that the operation of the obstinate commander failed, and advised immediately to send Zuev on a business trip to the Vityaz bay to lead the redeployment of the joint warehouse to Vladivostok and to the rear warehouses of his command .

- And you thought up correctly! - the captain of the first rank smiled, signing Zuev's trip to the new place of his temporary service.

“I decided how,” Captain-Lieutenant Nikandrov explained to him that Zuev had not had the ardor of hard work and he would do it at any cost.

- Yes, and his beautiful wife will be some outlet after a long absence of her husband. He will have time to recover, - grinned the chief, returning the document to Nikandrov. He knew that the whole scam about sending Zuev to the virgin lands had been organized by this drop with a big “banana” so that, without too much strain, lie in Lyudmila’s bed for her husband’s place for such a long period of time than the whole village was whispering.

- This aunt Lyudmila is beautiful with him, isn't he? - asked kapraz.

- No doubt. No one is more beautiful than her in the villages, ”Nikandrov nodded in response.

- Give it to me for the night? - grinned the chief, narrowing his eyes in the direction of Nikandrov.

- There is no question, comrade captain of the first rank, - sweet woman, like honey ...

- tried it yourself?

- Of course. My wife and I are friends. But I did not stay in debt. When her Zuev was already snoring in bed, then my half caressed him. She is so clever with me! ...

- Okay! Act! The meeting place is in my office tomorrow at 22–00. Let the children of your faithful take them away. I will reward her again at the next holiday.Got it? And so that all I would have a “Tip-top” Clear?

- Yes, Comrade Captain of the first rank ... That’s just one question that’s eating me. How and by whom will Zuev be awarded for virgin soil? Yet the first place grabbed.

- This issue is handled by personnel and the first deputy commander of the fleet. I heard that instead of the Order he was promised a medal "For Labor Difference".

- And to whom?

- Do not worry. Not for you. So, one political worker from the retinue of a member of the military council - the head of the political department of the fleet.

Nikandrov did not go home, but flew on the wings of love. In his "diplomat" already lay on the new business trip Zuev, and he dreamed of how to now caress and kiss her crotch, where at the very end of her labia had already been inserted a golden ring, which her husband brought from virgin.

“What's that for news?” - nearly falling off the bed, her beloved husband prayed, when he inserted her standing “banana” into it, which suddenly rested against this ring.

- Do not worry, dear! This is the cry of a new sexual fashion, explaining that you have only one man - your husband.

“And how did you do it so quickly?”

- Valera Nikandrov advised and helped. He has a doctor in these cases in our hospital. Do you believe? His beloved wife already has three such rings ... And all from different "bananas".

- Well, and Lenka gives ?! And one has to think about it ...

- Enlightened Europe helps ...

- Maybe you take off? Not that I will cut off the member and pound it ...

- Okay. Take off ... Only carefully. There is such a small latch ...
