Soviet Union, 1920: My Steel Tide

After transmigrating into the protagonist Pavel Korchagin from How the Steel Was Tempered, am I supposed to relive the tragedy of burning through my life and persevering despite being crippled?

No! In this life, I have a [Steel Body], and I'll never tire or get hurt! My mind is also filled with a blueprint for the next century of warfare, industry, and politics!

My first love, Tonya? No longer the unattainable beauty I let slip away, but a red queen I'll personally train to help me command the European diplomatic stage!

The Cheka is the stepping stone to my rise, Zheleznyak is my blade, and Tukhachevsky is my brains! While Stalin is still purging his own people, my secret design bureau has already unlocked the technology tree for the T-34, jet fighters, and even nuclear weapons!

1941? Operation Barbarossa?

No, it's 1940. My red lightning will tear Europe apart first! Beneath the walls of Berlin, a thousand cannons will roar, and the whole world will tremble before my steel torrent!

This time, this is how steel is tempered: I will forge my throne from the bones of my enemies and make the whole world witness the rise of a red empire!
