A modern office worker's soul transmigrates into Lin Feng, the son of a Guangzhou landowner during the Daoguang era. From the start, after being bullied by foreigners, he awakens the Red Alert System, summons engineers, builds tanks and establishes a base, vowing to tear apart the decaying sky screen of the late Qing!
He protects refugees, wipes out opium dens, and burns unequal treaties. Using Guangdong and Guangxi as his foundation, he produces steel, manufactures guns and cannons, and builds industry, carving out a path through the narrow gap between foreign powers on all sides and the Qing court's campaigns to crush him.
When the Green Standard Army surrounds the city, he breaks through with machine-gun bunkers. When the British army launches a raid, he uses Apocalypse Tanks to blast their warships to pieces. When officials at court frame him, the support of the people gives him a foothold. He also has beautiful women by his side, medical teams saving lives, ingenious craftsmen improving mighty weapons, and a battle-hardened rebel army sweeping across Guangdong and Guangxi!
When a hundred thousand Qing troops bear down on him, when shells fly toward the woman he loves, Lin Feng raises his saber in fury. “These two provinces belong to our Huaxia! This land won't let foreign barbarians and Qing demons run wild!”
Amid the clash of iron and blood, with home and country to defend, see how an ordinary man with no official title, branded a “Cantonese bandit,” uses the fire of Red Alert to burn away the late Qing's deep-rooted decay and forge a new republic!
This is the first time I read a book of this type. It's well written. I like playing Red Alert, and this book is also in line with my wishes.
