Aleksander, the commander of the Russian Air Force, is in the sky above the city of Goryokaku. He's looking for a dance partner, but he can't find one. He doesn't have time to dance, he says, because he's too busy with his own business. He thinks that if he were a woman, he'd be able to dance with anyone, but now that he has the upper hand, he thinks that he'll have no choice but to fight. He says that he can only fight one man at a time, and that's not good enough for him. He also says that the air force's best weapon is the sword, but it's no use to him right now. He knows that kharfenov blundered through the attack on the city, and he knows that the city's population is too small to support such a large army. He adds that stron-gest man, handruyev, probably saw everything that happened, and probably killed the girl who was in the way of him.
