"So negative? Then let me ask you, if Freeman and his grandmother knew your plan, do you think they would regret risking their lives to save you? Do you think it was worthy of them?"
Precisely because he knew Adam's "weaknesses", Malashenko chose Adam to attack him and was speechless. Adam, who had no idea what the problem was, just looked helpless and embarrassed when he heard this.
.
"But what can I do? Look at the scene on the street outside the window. I personally ordered the troops not to retreat and fight to the end to fight like this with you. Although my troops and I failed, the responsibility ultimately belongs to me.
The soldiers who died on the streets, whether they were Germans or Soviets, in the final analysis can be said to have died because of my order."
"There may be many ways to explain and understand this. I don't deny it, but you can't deny it. If I had given the order to surrender instead of fighting to the end, then those cold corpses on the street outside would be alive now.
people, whether they are Germans or Soviets.”
"I'm not saying this because I regret my decision at the time. I still think that I just did what I should do in that position. If I had to do it over again, I would still choose that way. The important thing is that it will lead to the future.
The result comes."
"So many of your outstanding soldiers died because of my orders, and the innocent civilians who were not evacuated from the streets lost their lives because of my orders. I don't think this is a crime that can be escaped.
, from your perspective, the perspective of the winner, I am a pure guilty person and must be punished."
"Prisons and labor camps are places I will definitely go to. If I can still escape from there alive, what big things can I do with my body and age at that time? I won't even have a boss to go to the construction site to rebuild a new Germany.
If you are willing to hire an old man like me, what would you do if it were you? Do you have any better way?"
Malashenko did not expect that this "Adam-style philosophy" could still be said one after another.
It's true that it makes sense, but it doesn't know how to be flexible. Such rigidity and rigidity is also part of the nature of a pure German like Adam. Malashenko, who has been dealing with Germans all year round, has seen this a lot.
Of course there is a solution, otherwise Malashenko would not have continued to talk nonsense here. What Malashenko really wants to say has just begun.
"What if you don't have to go to jail and instead continue to do your job to atone for your sins? What would you choose if you were given such a chance?"
"Don't you have to go to jail? Keep doing your job?? Make atonement for your sins???"
Adam, who had not thought about this at all, was completely stunned. He didn't even understand for a moment what Malashenko meant or what kind of situation he was describing. He just looked at Malashenko with a mysterious smile.
Ko spoke again.
"You said you are only suitable for fighting as a soldier. Well, I will give you another opportunity and a job."
"As far as I'm concerned, I can maximize your use value so that you won't be wasted in jail. For you, you can also live a more meaningful life, at least not letting the person who saves you save you to prison or
In the labor camp, if you really want to do that, I would rather let you die."
"."
Faced with the "horse-style vulgarity", Adam was speechless sitting on the bedside with a dazed look on his face, because this was a rough statement, but it was true. On the other hand, Malashenko continued to talk endlessly.
"As you said, peace will eventually come to this land again, and war is just a specific episode in a specific period."
"The local side needs someone to fulfill their duties. I think it would be better if experienced people do it at that time rather than training new people."
"I haven't thought about the specific details yet, and I have to think about it again, but I leave this job offer letter to you today."
"Whether you go to jails and labor camps and count potatoes for more than ten or twenty years, and build beautiful Siberia? Or listen to my advice, find a more meaningful path for yourself, and atone for your sins in exchange for freedom. The choice is yours.
Yes, I only provide this opportunity and do not force you."
"Think about it carefully. I will give you enough time to think about it. It is not suitable for you to continue to discuss too much now. Take a good rest first. I will come to you again when the time is right. Think about it for yourself. Such an opportunity is good for you.
It's only once, no one will give you the right to choose like today again, just don't make a choice that you regret."
"."
Without waiting for Adam to say anything in reply, Malashenko, who had already stood up and stood at the door, opened the door and walked away, leaving Adam, who was constantly being impacted by the stormy wave of thinking, alone and messy in the waves.
As Malashenko said, he does need time to think about it. This is not a hasty decision that can be made easily in a few words.
Malashenko opened the door and walked out, but he didn't expect that a "surprise" came directly from the door.
Arsim, who was wearing a steel plate and carrying an AK on his shoulder, was actually standing at the door. Fortunately, Malashenko didn't move so fast, otherwise he would have been hit head-on.
"Comrade Division Commander, there is an urgent message from the division headquarters. The correspondent just sent it. I was just about to knock on the door and give you a message, but unexpectedly..."
"."
With people so close to the door, people with a little more active thinking will inevitably forget about "eavesdropping" and can't help but think more about it.
Alsim didn't know whether Malashenko had thought about it, but he was afraid that his comrade would think so, so he had to explain it in advance to avoid misunderstandings.
Fortunately, Malashenko didn't mention this at all in his next words. Seeing that Alsim was still holding something, he just stretched out his hand.
"Telegram to me."
"Oh oh oh, here you go, comrade teacher."
There are rare times when Alsim is dull and stupid, like now.
The company officer who was not far away from Alsim couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he saw this scene, thinking that someone could really catch you, a "Siberian barbarian". It was really quite surprising.
After receiving the telegram, Malashenko walked and read, preparing to go downstairs. Alsim followed suit and walked downstairs with Malashenko.
Before Malashenko could say anything while reading the telegram, Alsim, who had something on his mind and couldn't hold himself back, had already spoken first.
"Comrade Commander, I. I just happened to hear something. It was just a coincidence. I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. You know I don't have that habit."
"Well, what then?"
Malashenko behaved extremely calmly, as if he was asking "What are we going to have for lunch tonight?" His daily routine was as calm as ever. His attention was still focused on the telegraph newspaper in his hand, and he even took the initiative to speak, a bit "unable to get off the stage."
"Alsim could only continue speaking in line with his strong curiosity.
