Welcome Back from the Desert
Well, as you can see, the Mandarin is back to work. And he had great news for the Czar: the, um, experiment is totally ready. Tests concluded that the Mandarin was able to land his product in the exact center of Ground Zero every time!
He added that in a couple of days, he will have General MacArthurs special visitor to the Yalu River ready, buffed, and painted.
The Czar did not have the heart to tell him the Korean War ended a few years ago.
Or rather, the Czar has a heart, but it is filled with dust.
![The Czar of Muscovy](https://www.gormogons.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/42543-128x128.jpg)
Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
