China’s Sea Spirit: Born to Face the Ocean

No System, no golden finger.

The protagonist bides his time and builds up his strength in the early stages. After the Qing dynasty collapses, he begins to emerge, carrying the national grievances and personal vendettas of the Beiyang Fleet. Trained by Admiral Sa, he establishes the Fleet of Existence to build China's navy during the Republic of China era. After fighting a bloody battle at Shanghai, he leads the surviving remnants of the navy south to wage commerce-raiding warfare across the South Seas.
