The Man Behind the Scenes: I Stirred up Troubles in the Republic of China

In 1937, the artillery fire of the Battle of Songhu tore through the night sky over Shanghai. Ling Yun, a national industrialist, was forced to leave Shanghai and go south. He used Hong Kong as a chessboard to start a silent war concerning the lifeline of the country's economy. On the surface, he is an elegant overseas Chinese businessman from Nanyang, but secretly he is the core of the anti-Japanese economic network code-named "Pangu". Faced with the capital stranglehold of the Japanese military's "Shadow Warriors" system and the increasing pressure of super-high-level courses, Ling Yun used "industry to save the country" as a blade, connecting Chinese businessmen in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Yunnan to fight back simultaneously on the three fronts of finance, material and technology. Financial secret war: He teamed up with overseas Chinese and secret allies to cut off the Japanese military's strategic capital flow and protect the country's gold reserves through cross-border capital operations. Material Game: His subordinate "Shen Nong Tang" engineers and the "Xuanwu Guard" action team opened a secret road from Yunnan to Burma, hid medicine and ordnance parts in cotton yarn ore, and sent them directly to the front line through the blockade. Technical Breakthrough: Jiangnan Plant Engineer Zhao Shichen guarded the ship blueprints with his life. In the Kunming Laboratory, Ye Zhiqiu, who had returned from studying in France, led his students to crack the alloy process under the oil lamp, allowing the damaged guns to roar again. In the dark, the "Venom Plan" of Japanese economic adviser Yuichi Nakamura is quietly approaching. British and American capital are swinging between interests and morality, and former colleagues may turn into poisonous snakes... Ling Yun must stay on the overturned island, using wisdom as a cable and faith as a sail, to guard the nation's last blood transfusion line in the darkest moment. This is a war song about sacrifice, wisdom and perseverance—— "The way of business is also the way of war. Silence is better than sound. Thousands of gold can be scattered, but the country cannot be invaded!"
