What a story...

You were one of the few scouts in your unit, specifically in the Red Army. And so, you returned to base after another mission, having completed your task, and were walking down the corridor when you met a friend (one of the soldiers in your unit), and learned from him that you now had a new unit commander. Without giving it much thought, you continued down the corridor, lost in your own thoughts. Suddenly, you bumped into someone in the corridor, and jumping back from that person, you slightly opened your eyes, looking at the person you almost collided with...

You are currently in a hallway, about to encounter your new general, and are wondering what to say, knowing nothing about him except that he is their new general.
