This is alternate history and has no reference to real-world events! The global wars have ended, and the precarious balance between three great powers is on the verge of collapse.
The northern super-empire is about to disintegrate. Its nuclear weapons and military-industrial legacy are scattered far and wide, and humanity has entered the most dangerous era in history.
The Western leader, relying on its invincible fleet, dominates the seas and seeks to control the world alone, forging a unipolar hegemony.
The Eastern dynasty rules a vast continent. It supports others while keeping them in check, refusing to let another giant rise at its side.
And I am nothing more than a warlord ruling a tiny corner of the world.
A military coup brings me to power in a storm of blood and iron. With ruthless force, I sweep away my enemies at home and abroad, then ascend the throne!
The Western fleet bears down on my borders, blockading the straits and threatening to flatten my country!
The great powers look on coldly, all convinced I am doomed.
But I order my entire army into formation. Missiles soar into the sky, and from my tiny corner of the world, I take on the global hegemon!
Unify the realm, found a nation, and expand its borders!
Just as the northern empire collapses, I personally lead my closest followers into the ruins and seize its legacy!
Nuclear warheads, intercontinental ballistic missiles, strategic bombers, deep-sea nuclear submarines, cutting-edge military industries...
It all belongs to me!
I also bring countless scientific and engineering geniuses under my command, building ultimate weapons capable of shaking the universe atop the legacy of the old era!
Some fear my rise and try to block my path.
Some want to prop up a strongman and take back everything in my hands.
Some offer aid in public while checking my power in secret, thinking they can keep me firmly under their control.
How ridiculous!
In public, I bow my head and obey, never crossing the line.
In secret, I lay plans overseas, using shadowy conglomerates, offshore forces, and hidden bases to quietly devour resources, control the economy, and seize every vital lifeline!
Whoever dares stand in my way will be
