Reborn as Eisenhower

June 5, 1944, the eve of the Normandy landings. The Allied commander is about to issue the order to attack. A thousand ships are crossing the sea, and humanity's fate hangs in the balance. At that moment, a voice sounds in his mind: “Wait. Omaha Beach will become a graveyard.”

Song Yu, a frustrated programmer, history buff, and strategy game fanatic, transmigrates after an accident and finds himself sharing consciousness with Eisenhower.

He knows how history will unfold: which beach will run red with blood, which paratroopers will fall into a trap, and which decisions will change the outcome of the war. But he cannot give orders or show himself. All he can do is quietly steer events from deep within the commander's mind, under the guise of “suggestions.”

The real battlefield extends far beyond Normandy. When the war ends, the game of power, conspiracy, capital, and the Cold War is only just beginning. As Eisenhower, Song Yu refuses the post of commander of the Pacific region and instead becomes NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, gradually taking control of the body of this World War II hero. Drawing on a modern perspective and his knowledge of history, he skillfully brings America's financial elites together and builds a core team. In the 1952 presidential election, he defeats Stevenson by a landslide and enters the White House.

From the bloody, mysterious initiation rites of the Freemasons to strategizing in the Oval Office; from the transfer of power with Truman to an “energy question” spanning time and space with Qian Xuesen, Song Yu carefully advances through the cracks of history. But he has never told anyone his deepest secret: he wants America to play the “bad cop” and plunder resources while the Great East plays the “good cop” and develops peacefully, bringing about his ultimate vision of “sharing equal rank with the emperor and ruling the world together.”
