In 1914, Lorin transmigrates into the body of a bankrupt Spanish nobleman, with just 300 pesetas left in the bank.
At the crucial moment, the [Rise of Iberia System] activates:
"Make Spain the hegemon of continental Europe, or be erased!"
Lorin looks at the wasteland he owns, then at the [Commodity Price Charts] the System has just given him...
"Wait, this thing might actually be useful?"
Three months later:
Lorin uses the iron ore on his land to set Germany and Britain against each other in a bidding war:
Germany provides the equipment, Britain provides the loans, and both countries get priority access to the ore.
With nothing but empty promises, he establishes the "Iberian Mining Company" and earns his first fortune in the Great War.
One year later:
Spain faces a food crisis, the people revolt, and the government grinds to a halt.
Lorin has stockpiled a hundred thousand tons of grain and opens low-cost food shops. The people call him the "Angel of Grain."
The king awards him a medal in person and makes him a marquis.
Five years later:
At the Paris Peace Conference, Spain isn't even allowed a seat at the table.
Lorin produces three documents: records of supplies to Britain, evidence of cooperation with France, and a handwritten letter from the German emperor.
"Can we talk about Spain's seat now?"
**Thirty years later:**
From mining to an industrial empire, from commercial warfare to battles to save the nation.
Lorin maneuvers between Germany, Britain, France, and the United States, making friends everywhere and profiting from both sides.
Tsundere duchess × scheming male lead, an arranged marriage that turns to love, with a moderate dose of sweetness and angst.
Others risk their lives in war. I make a fortune.
The great powers fight to the death. I sit back and play the big shot.
See how a bankrupt nobleman becomes the man who saves Spain.
There are relatively few good-looking books on foreign history, and even fewer that produce results. If you have friends who like it, you can support me.
Just like the law... Protect criminals at all times! It's difficult to protect your own rights!
Yeah, it's pretty well written.
Well written, good work, good work
