Gordon opens the doors of Pyotrs study and looks for the young Tsar. Pyotr was sitting at his desk looking at a map. "Pyotr! Bad news I'm afraid, the damned Ottomans are moving on the Caucuses!" Gordon looked quite worried. "Well, it was to be expected..." "What do you propose we do Sir?" Gordon was now looking at the large globe, examining the Caucasus region. "We plan my friend, we plan." Pyotr went back to his maps.
