A senior expert from the National Heavy Equipment Office accidentally traveled back to the spring of 1945. At this time, the Japanese army in French Indochina launched a coup, and thousands of remnants of the French army invaded Yunnan in embarrassment.
As the much-suspected second son of the Yunnan Army, Long Shengzu, he knew very well that in the coming era, a separatist regime without the support of heavy industry would be just a mirror image. Faced with Chiang Kai-shek's rise and fall, the Japanese army's desperate counterattack, and the slowly rising Iron Curtain of the Cold War, he chose the most difficult path: using three thousand French troops as technological seeds and surrendered materials as the industrial cornerstone.
Starting from forcibly detaining precision machine tools in front of the boundary marker at the mouth of the river, he concealed the truth and exploited others' power. In the deep mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang, he forcibly lifted up the steel backbone of the Nanyang Chinese. He is the largest underground arms dealer in Southeast Asia and a shadow trader in the cracks of the Cold War. When the smoke of the Korean War ignited, the whole world was shocked to realize that on the forgotten border of southern Xinjiang, an industrial empire that could influence the structure of the Far East had already taken shape.
