This is an absurd and humorous anti-war novel. On the Eastern Front of World War II in a parallel world, the unlucky cook Alexei Korolev was transferred to the front line, but he reached a "trench peace" with the German army on the opposite side - the two sides exchanged fire at regular intervals to fool their superiors, and exchanged supplies and literature in the afternoon. On the Western Front, technical genius Elliot Whitman had no game console to play, so he invented the "Trench Nintendo" using battlefield waste and encouraged the enemy to fish together. The "Salted Fish Party", who had never met on the east and west fronts, accidentally connected through a captured German radio station, setting off an "anti-involution war" that swept across the entire European continent.
