  He drove lush May grove. The air is filled in late spring. And everything is so joyful in my heart, and forget-me-nots are flourishing.

  The dacha of Oleg Rybachenko"s parents is rather large and elegant. With a fence and a large plot of land. The boy opened the door with an electronic key and invited the girl into the courtyard.

  Oleg was cheerful, and he was impatient to show the discovery to his friend. A boy with a smile on his lips led the girl to the basement. He was excited about his discovery.

  Margarita lingered. She looked at the bizarre paintings in a cubist manner and asked in surprise:

  - What do you have? Scripts by Picasso?

  Oleg shook his head:

  - No, it's my dad indulging. He is not only a famous science fiction writer, but also an artist. Some of his paintings cost a lot of money they were auctioned off.

  The girl whistled:

  - A decent cottage ... Three floors, and there is a kind of underground pool.

  Oleg nodded vigorously with his bright, short-haired head:

  - The pool is so-so - a splash pool. But next to the laboratory, which made great discoveries.

  Margarita expressed quite an adult thought:

  "I"m still afraid if we"re technologically behind the West." Somehow, science fiction is not fashionable!

  Oleg confidently stated:

  - As long as there are guys like me ... That"s not what we can do! For example, I think how to make a weapon that neutralizes a nuclear explosion. Then, for example, to us, any of the missiles will not be terrible!

  The girl giggled wittily and rounded eyes:

  - Neutralization of the atomic bomb? That's cool! The boy walked back in his arms. He was as clever as a chimp. Then he got to his feet opened the doors to the basement for Margarita. They walked along the corridor, Oleg opened another armored door. The children took a few steps and ended up in the laboratory. There was a mass of various devices, sensors, flasks and test tubes. Twisted the wires ...

  And in the very center of the laboratory there was something similar to a widescreen TV, but behind it were a lot of levers and buttons. Looked fancy.

  The boy proudly put his fists on his hips and said:

  - Here it is a time machine!

  Margaret chirped in surprise:

  - And this is a time machine? So much on the TV looks like ...

  The girl went to the unit, pointed at the screen with her index finger. Carefully held on the surface and whispered:

  - Well, you and the inventor ... And how does it work?

  Oleg Rybachenko took a serious look and, turning the lever, replied:

  - It shows parallel universe. We ourselves do not move in it.

  Margarita became even more curious and she asked the boy:

  "Well, show me something."

  The boy smiled and began to turn the levers and push the buttons. An image appeared on the screen ... At first, rather muddy, and then it began to become clear.

  Angular, small tanks appeared. They moved through the spring fields and fired. It was a real fight. Shreds of smoke rose into the sky, trenches burst.

  And planes roared in the air. Someone twisted spirals ...

  The image on the TV now and then jumped, and jumped up ... It was impossible to consider anything.

  The boy turned the lever again ... It became a little clearer. Now you can see how Soviet guns shoot at German tanks. Flashes blaze near German cars. Here is one got a projectile on the tracks. She stopped and began to shoot - a German in a rage. On it again lupanul. The armor cracked, and Hitler's mastodon caught fire ...

  Oleg Rybachenko sang:

  - The brightest flame bonfire,

  My love is burning ...

  Though the enemy is treacherous and cunning,

  But he will be broken!

   Margarita was curious and, she asked:

  - How does this story differ from ours?

  The boy grinned and with a pleasant smile on his lips, answered:

  - It differs a lot! Now I'll show you the last entry.

  And the boy turned the two levers and pressed the button.

  The image has already painfully familiar man with a mustache. He spoke German, which Margarita did not know, but simultaneous interpretation followed.

  The Führer of Germany, as always, pronounced his long monologue:

  - Our troops were already near Moscow itself, and they saw the Kremlin through binoculars. But the hardest frosts forced us to retreat. We won not Russian guns, but nature. Not a Russian soldier, but Russian frost! But spring comes.

  At the cost of heroic efforts, the German people gathered new divisions. And now we are faced with a choice - who should be put out of action first: Britain and the United States, or Russia behind them. So gentlemen, I decided that after all the Leo's empire is much more important to crush. The Russian bear will still not be able to quickly develop its industrial potential. And we, in turn, will be able to quickly overcome the north of Africa and the Middle East from Britain.

  Every day, the British and Americans are releasing more and more tanks and airplanes that press us. No doubt this should be done as quickly as possible.

  Therefore, I command, reflecting the blows of the Soviet troops in the eastern direction, to refrain from conducting large-scale offensive actions, and to concentrate efforts on the Black Continent and the Middle East. It is from there that victory will come to us!

  Rosenberg politely asked the Führer:

  - And if the Russians will attack us?

  Hitler confidently answered:

  - Answer the active defense. We already have the newest T-4s with long-barreled guns that are not inferior to the Soviet T-34s. There is something to answer the Red Army. And soon there will be tanks and heavier, which will decide the outcome of the war in the east. In the meantime, promotion in Africa will decide the outcome of the war.
