The raid on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway... All these significant and dear historical events to the heart of any Russian never happened. Instead, the Japanese stopped caring and began a systematic campaign to isolate Australia and take over the southwest Pacific. So much so that there is nothing special to object to. Moreover, “the French battle cruiser Strasbourg, which staged an epic pogrom in the Mediterranean Sea and surrendered to the British at Gibraltar, disappeared without a trace on the approach to St. Helena, where it was supposed to be interned. And it didn’t sink, but simply disappeared... Only to be discovered off the coast of Australia just a day later! And somehow no one had ever heard that the Strasbourg had anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles... Admiral John Tovey, who managed to communicate with the admiral from the mysterious ship, and understand that these were some strange, but still Russian, goes to Alan Turing, who clearly knows something, but, apparently, is afraid of being sent to hell... Meanwhile, the nuclear-powered missile cruiser "Kirov" continues its frantic odyssey through the Second World War and the post-apocalyptic future, arranged by the crooked hands of its fearless crew , in particular, the former manager of Gazprom, Captain Karpov. Meanwhile, navigator Fedorov notices for the first time that the ship’s movements in time occur exactly twelve days later, which means that the point is not that Russian nuclear warheads explode when hit with a sledgehammer. But what? God knows. Another thing is clear: at the end of the 12th day the ship is approaching Darwin, which the Japanese were targeting in 1942... Which means that sakura will soon begin to bloom in the shade of the spreading cranberries! The adventures of cheerful Russians in space and time continue.
