A Fateful Encounter is a major event in Chapter 1.
Overview[]
As the Czechoslovak Legion arrives to Sukhnichi, another train blocks their path. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a Red Army train.
The Red leader, Adam Morozov greets the Legionaires. As Major Gazdík enters into a conversation, he appears to be on high alert, and with reason: Morozov demands the Czechs to hand over their weapons in return for safe passage in Vladivostok. Gazdík refuses, implicating that they would be shot on sight. Morozov reinforces that his Legion is not the first to come through, as those having come earlier have complied. Gazdík firmly stands his ground.
Seeing his ploy has not worked, Morozov's intimidating posture passes and tells Gazdík that they are free to go, leaving a menacing but fleeting memory.
