A Thousand Tons of Gold from the Start in Republican-Era China, Forging a Military Powerhouse

In 1916, China was beset by turmoil. Warlords fought among themselves, while foreign powers circled like vultures. The protagonist transmigrated by chance, bringing with him a thousand tons of gold and a vast collection of technological and military-industrial texts. In chaotic times, gold was capital, and books were sparks. He gathered refugees, established workshops, smelted ore, and laid the foundations of his own industry. Starting with rifles and artillery, he built up a complete military-industrial system and trained a modern army. At home, he crushed the warlords and repelled foreign invasions, defending China's territory. Abroad, he stood tall and reclaimed the rights that rightfully belonged to the nation. With gold, he ignited industry; with guns and cannons, he protected the people. Amid the chaos, he would rebuild the land and forge a powerful China anew.
