1936. Bombay, India.
General Sir Michael Keating, head of the Imperial Afghanistan Operations Department sits at his desk, reading a report with a heavy frown on his face. One hand smoothes his moustache obsessively as his eyes dart back and forth from the papers before him, to a large map of India and Afghanistan pinned to the wall.
There is a knock at the door and the General raises sad and weary eyes. ”Come in”. The door is opened by his young secretary Gladys who looks noticeably flushed.
”There is a gentleman to see you Sir.” She announces.
Before the General can ask who, a tall and well built man enters the room and upon seeing the old army officer strides forward and extends his hand. ”General Keating Sir! It’s been a long while!”
Keating stares at the hand in astonishment, but only for a second. Standing abruptly he lets out a exclamation of surprise. ”Great Scott! Young Mansfield! ...but what the deuce are you doing here?”
Mansfield smiles broadly as they shake hands vigorously (the General wincing slightly). ”Orders sir. Sir Hugh sent us a wire and told us to report to you at the first possible opportunity, seems you’re having problems with our old friend Korsakov.”
The Generals eyes flicker to the report lying upon his desk and come alive.
”My God!” he cries out suddenly. ”You don’t mean to tell me you’re the secret agent Sinclair promised me!”
”The very same!” Mansfield chuckles.
”You’re the rocket man?”
”Yes, but...” Mansfield glances over his shoulder theatrically,”It’s all a bit hush hush you know.”
General Keating nods gravely. ”Of course, of course. I didn’t mean to burst out like that, but I didn’t have the first notion of what Sinclair meant when he wired he was sending a ‘rocket man’, some sort of dashed code word I assumed, I certainly didn’t expect to see you walking into my office as proud as Punch.”
Mansfield walks over to the map of Afghanistan and after offering a cigarette to the General, lights a Pall Mall.
”So what’s afoot Sir?”
”Well, you may know more about the business than I do seeing as you’ve apparently had dealings with this fellow before!”
”Korsakov?”
”Yes indeed. It seems this damned Bolshevik’s taken up residence in Northern Afghanistan and he’s making a big stink with King Shah and some of the northern tribes. Our man in Afghanistan, Cartwright, has sent me this report and I’ve been turning the whole thing over and over in my mind and I can’t for the life of me make head or tail of it. It’s a rum business d’you see? ...and London wants it dealt with in double quick time.”
”Why doesn’t the King just chase him out then?”
The General sighs and passes a sheet of paper to Mansfield. ”Look at the numbers. This Korsakov fellow has his own private army, with tanks, armoured cars and even a bally armoured train!”
”No aircraft though?”
”No... Not that we know of but our information is sketchy. Here’s what we know so far; some time earlier this year Korsakov came down south through Uzbekistan to the Afghan border on an armoured train. None of the locals had ever seen such an item and it naturally got around. Our man in Kabul decided to go north and find out more but he had no luck. He returned to Kabul only to find that in his absence the King had learned that Alim Khan had...”
“Alim Khan?”
”The old ruler of Bukhara, he was ousted by the Bolsheviks in 1920 and he’s been living in Kabul ever since. I understand he’s something of a thorn in the Kings side, but too rich and influential with the northern tribes to risk alienating. According to Cartwright, Alim Khan is some how involved with Korsakov, but we don’t know exactly how. We think Korsakov may be getting ready to take over Afghanistan and use Alim Khan as a proxy ruler, but we can’t be sure. Alim Khan is a cunning devil and he could simply be milking the Russian for funding, selling him favours with the Northern Tribes.”
”Who are the northern tribes?”
”There are quite a few, mostly Turcoman, but with a few Pashtun scattered amongst them. We’re not sure where Korsakov is, but he seems to be operating some where in the Kunduz region.”
The two men regard the map doubtfully.
”It’s a quite a distance from Bombay” Mansfield notes.
”Quite, and I haven’t got the first idea what to do about it. If Korsakov is as well armed as he appears to be, then he may very well upset the balance of power in Afghanistan and things could get a bit sticky for all of us. The Communists won’t allow Afghanistan to become a threat to their southern border, and I’ve no doubt they’ll attack and take the whole country for themselves.”
”That could be what Korsakov is counting on” Mansfield replies. The General glances at the younger man sharply.
”What do you mean? Who is this Korsakov fellow anyway? The only thing Hugh Sinclair’s told me is that he used to be head of some kind of special experimental military project called ONB7. I’ll be blessed if I know what that is”
”He’s a dangerous character” Mansfield replies as he shakes his head ruefully. ”He had an entire army at his disposal in Kazakhstan, light and heavy armour units, special guards, aircraft, and some kind of death ray he was preparing to use against Moscow:”
”A death ray?”
”Yes. Thankfully we put an end to it, but Heaven only knows what else the man has up his sleeve. He was impossible to kill you know. He was wearing a suit of bullet proof armour would you believe!?”.
”A what?”
”Like a sort of motorized knight in plate armour”
”The Devil you say!” General Keating pours himself a stiff glass of whiskey and settles down behind his desk. ”That settles it. You’ll have to go up there and deal with him again, but I won’t send you alone. As it happens, Sir John Napier is in Lahore with his special operations boys. They’ve been dealing with a nasty Thuggee cult but I gather that’s all done with now. I’ll drop him a line and let him know your own your way.”
”Excellent” Mansfield stubs out his cigarette. ”I’ll gather my lot and we’ll fly up there at once”

“So, let me get this straight...” Mitchell aims a finger at Mansfield as they recline on padded seats in the back of a chartered de Havilland Dragon. “...that damned Bolshie jumped on a train with a load of tanks n’ men, and headed south to another secret base, in Afghanistan?” Mansfield nods as he lights a Pall Mall.
“Correct”
“And now we’re being asked to stop him, again?” George interjects from his seat behind Mitchell.
“Yes.”
“How?”
Mansfield smiles slowly. “Oh, I’m sure we can think of something. This chap we’re to meet, Sir John Napier, has a few resources up his sleeve I believe. We won’t be going in alone and we won’t have to rely on a few Russian soldiers this time either.”
“What’s he got, that’s so special this here Napier fellah?”
Mansfield turns to grin at the big Texan.
“Tanks”
“Tanks?”
“Tanks. Four of them to be precise. Vickers, Mark II’s. They’re not the latest thing, but they’re better than anything the Afghans have and they’ll give Korsakov a run for his money if we use them right.”
“Tanks is good” Mitchell concedes, “But we need troops as well.”
“We’ll have them. Napier runs some kind of local operations group and they specialise at solving awkward situations along the frontier. They’re going in as our main force. The tanks are their support.”
“British soldiers?” George asks
“Locals from Lahore, but with a few specialists too. Colonials mostly I expect.”
Twelve hours later the Dragon lands on a dusty airstrip just north of Peshawar. Mansfield peers out of the window at as the plane taxis towards a hanger. A tall fair haired man in a colonial uniform is standing on the turret of a Rolls Royce armoured car watching with one hand shading his eyes from the setting sun.
“We there?” Mitchell mutters opening his eyes and peering about.
Mansfield leaves his friends gathering the baggage and as the Dragons engines splutter into silence, he strides across the dusty airfield. The fair haired man hops down fro his vantage point and saunters closer.
“Captain Mansfield?” he asks in a clearly British accent.
“The same” Mansfield shakes the offered hand.
“Pleased to meet you” the other man is taller and stands with the causal air of the English gentry abroad. “I’m Gerald Leftbridge-Smythe, but usually every one just calls me Lefty”.
Mansfield nods, noting the polished lieutenant’s pips on Leftbridge-Smythe’s shoulders. “It’s been a while since I was addressed as Captain” he smiles.
“Those were days eh?” Leftbridge-Smythe smiles thinly as he watches the plane being unloaded. “Tell you what. Why don’t you let my chaps help yours and I’ll give you a ride back to the camp?”
Mansfield glances over at the Rolls Royce and Leftbridge-Smythe catches his eye. “Oh, not in the Roller. We have a slightly more comfortable conveyance for officers, what d’you say?” Mansfield smiles as he notes a dull grey touring car parked beside a nearby hanger. “Certainly. I’m sure George and Mitchell can manage without me”
“That’s the spirit. So tell me, where did they call you Captain then?”
Leftbridge-Smythe drives the anonymous car across the airfield to where a small military camp has been set up amongst a grove of tall trees. Daniel Mansfield, having dozed for the last few hours feels the tiredness growing upon him again regardless but just as he begins to yearn for a comfortable bed, his fatigue evaporates as four Vickers Mk II tanks come abruptly into view, he is about to comment on the sight when his eye catches three smaller tanks beyond them. Noting the abrupt change in his companion’s posture, Leftbridge-Smythe smirks well naturedly. “Warms the heart eh?”
Mansfield nods and the car suddenly swerves to halt before a large tent with a heavy set man in a khaki uniform standing before it.
“Lieutenant Colonel Sir John Napier” Leftbridge-Smythe introduces the man who lifts his hat to Mansfield revealing close cropped iron grey hair above a kindly face.
“Captain Daniel Mansfield, former fighter pilot in France and later Iraq and now... how shall we say it? A specialist working for her Majesty?” Napier opens the flap of his tent to reveal comfortable seats and a table of food.
Mansfield shrugs and enters the tent. “Perhaps Sir we shouldn’t mention it?”
Napier laughs as he follows the younger men into the tent. “Perhaps your right. I’m sure Keating wasn’t exaggerating when he said we might need you, and I understand you’ve had dealings with this Korsakov fellow before?”
“You could say that. He kidnapped my fiancé so I destroyed his death ray and scuppered his plan to obliterate Moscow.”
Mansfield sits at the table as a small Indian man-servant begins to open and proffer various exotic dishes. Napier and Leftbridge-Smythe glance at each other in astonishment.
Later, after Mitchell and George have arrived, Sir John gathers his most trusted men about him to go over the mission.
“Gentlemen, tomorrow we begin a most hazardous endeavour. Our orders are to enter Afghanistan and make our way to Kabul. There we will rendezvous with a local regiment of the Kings guards, and together we will make our way to Kunduz. Once in Kunduz we will conduct operations against a renegade Bolshevik named Korsakov, and his private army... Yes Rogers?”
At the back of the tent, a short, dark haired man with a stumpy beard stands up.
“Pardon me sir, but will we driving north or taking a train?”
“We shall have to drive north I’m afraid. Once we’re in Afghanistan we have to be as inconspicuous as possible, so no trains or major roads. Not that there are any. It’s going to be hard slog but with luck we should be able to reach Kabul quickly.”
“Correct”
“And now we’re being asked to stop him, again?” George interjects from his seat behind Mitchell.
“Yes.”
“How?”
Mansfield smiles slowly. “Oh, I’m sure we can think of something. This chap we’re to meet, Sir John Napier, has a few resources up his sleeve I believe. We won’t be going in alone and we won’t have to rely on a few Russian soldiers this time either.”
