I’m Just Building a Little Military Hardware. How Did I Become the Fifth Great Power?

That year, Thunder Defense monopolized the global market and dictated equipment prices.

That year, Huaxia’s Dragon Core Arms was placed under comprehensive sanctions, bringing its research and development to a dead end.

That year, the industry’s top giants looked down from above and treated us like we didn’t exist.

Then one day, newcomer Chen Yu arrived with blueprints he had drawn up himself!

Starting with a single piece of steel, he built his own production line and a superfactory deep in the mountains.

Chen-pattern rifles, man-portable rockets, thermobaric warheads, long-range rocket artillery…

He mastered new technologies, integrated supply chains, and found a different path. With cutting-edge products at bargain-basement prices, he tore open the monopolized market by sheer force!

When his rivals’ prized equipment was crushed one piece at a time,

when customers from around the world swarmed in with orders,

when the president of Thunder Defense showed up in person, just to ask for a technology license…

Chen Yu stood atop his own industrial empire, surveying the world below.

“An embargo? Thanks for advertising for me.”

“From now on, I make the rules of the game.”
