What's wrong with a novelist opening multiple pseudonyms?

Chapter 78 Chapter 78

Many years later, when Fyodor recalled what happened that day, he would have a feeling that "the world really favors Oleg."

If it wasn't Maxim Gorky who came, then no one else would have rejected his proposal so decisively.

No one wanted to stay in Siberia. In any case, as long as they could leave, it would not be wrong to use any despicable means to obtain as much intelligence as possible.

But Maxim Gorky took the initiative to apply for transfer to Siberia. If this general had any expectations about leaving Siberia, then he must have expected the end of the war.

Obviously, for some reason, Gorky did not think that a Japanese who almost froze himself to death on the shore of Lake Baikal could decide the direction of the war.

He also did not think that a Russian child who was in a worse situation than the Japanese could do anything, even though his attitude at the moment was not like that of an ordinary child.

"In the Kremlin, I made a promise to all Russians in front of the president that every moment the Pan-Slavic tricolor flag was flying, I would defend this land and all the citizens on it."

This was undoubtedly a rejection.

Fyodor coughed twice again, without commenting on it, and just whispered, "You will agree."

Now is not a good time to take out the translator, and Fyodor happened to press Matsumoto Seicho's coat pocket.

Seicho could only listen to their conversation in confusion, guessing that perhaps Fedka was asking about his brother, and began to wonder if he should really start learning Russian.

It was pure luck to meet someone who could speak Japanese. If there was really a language barrier, life would be difficult on one hand, but the main thing was... even if there was an opportunity to collect materials, I couldn't grab it!

Moreover, the disadvantage of language barriers is that there will be a huge difference in culture and thinking.

After learning English, reading the original English book and not understanding English but just reading the translation can be said to be completely different.

Texts with different contexts give people from different countries very different feelings.

But speaking of it, if your life is not exposed to the bitter cold at any time, Siberia is actually an excellent place to collect materials, and the excitement here is no less than Yokohama.

Yokohama is more about the struggle between "people and others", and Siberia is even more complicated.

"People and others", "people and themselves", "people and nature", all kinds of contradictions collide with each other. If the balance between them cannot be adjusted, collapse is a matter of time.

So here there are mysterious shamanism rooted in the shores of Lake Baikal, there are soldiers who are crazy enough to lose their humanity and reason, there are steel-like defenders of the front line Maxim Gorky, and there are brothers like Mikhail and Fedka who were blown to pieces by the wind...

There is a microcosm of all living things here, and even Matsumoto Seicho, who strayed into this place, became one of them.

"War" is the sword of Damocles from top to bottom, hanging high in the sky of Siberia, and no one knows when it will fall.
