Founding the Nation of Austalia: From Kangaroos to Dragons!

On a rainy night in Nanyang, Zhao Anbang, an 18-year-old member of a puppet army, opens his eyes. But hidden in them is the weathered soul of someone from the future. It is 2163 in the Great Qin calendar, and the flames of World War II are sweeping across the globe. This reborn citizen of Huangxia uses his knowledge of history to climb the ranks of the Japanese puppet forces, step by step. From commander of a hundred thousand puppet troops to leader of a six-hundred-thousand-strong expeditionary force, he leads his men ashore in Australia and builds a new homeland for eighty million Chinese amid the flames of war.

As the final bells of World War II are about to ring in 2166, Zhao Anbang resolutely changes sides, and the Sun, Moon, and Golden Dragon Banner rises over the South Pacific. The Republic of Xiahua is founded, and a modern state rooted in Han civilization begins to write its legend. Sweeping reforms follow: political commissars are assigned to every squad and platoon, the commandery-and-county system is adopted nationwide, land reform is carried out with an iron hand, and the spread of Han surnames goes hand in hand with cultural renewal.

Amid the Cold War, Zhao Anbang maneuvers among the great powers, leveraging the campaign to “fight the floods” to secure aid and defeating the Baby Pot fleet during the Coral Sea Crisis. At home, he establishes hereditary rule within his family, laying the foundations for a dynasty that will last eighty-three years. This is no simple tale of conquest, but an epic of a civilization reborn in a foreign land, and the story of a rational ruler leading his people in search of a home.

From rainforest outposts to the presidential palace, from traditional infantry to interstellar fleets, this journey spans two centuries and bears witness to a civilization’s migration south and its rise to greatness, as well as a monarch’s iron will and foresight.
