The against-all-odds rise of a modern military enthusiast. This is not an invincible power fantasy. A modern military buff transmigrates to the Republican Era and, relying on a System and family connections, starts by forming a local militia. He modernizes its training and equipment, fights bandits, smelts steel, builds up the army, opens a secret arsenal, quietly lays the groundwork for industrial development, and throws himself into political struggles. Step by step, he grows into a regional power ruling over Bashu. When the War of Resistance Against Japan breaks out, he leads his troops through Kuimen and takes aim at the Japanese invaders, using a torrent of steel to crush their dream of conquering China.
