The Fall of the Third Reich and the Birth of a New Empire

April 1945, on the eve of Berlin's fall. The death knell of the Third Reich has sounded. A steel tide rolls over the ruins, and endless darkness is about to devour everything.

Lin Tian, a 21st-century strategic advisor, awakens at this darkest hour in the body of a German infantry division commander on the verge of defeat. A System interface called Hearts of Iron awakens alongside him. Before him lies a routed army, and the thunder of Soviet artillery fills his ears. He has only hours left to live.

Will he become dust in history and be buried alongside the Nazis, or use his last bullet to carve out a new future for Germany?

He does not choose to surrender. He chooses to conquer.
