A modern military enthusiast unexpectedly transmigrates and becomes Chen Yiwu, the legitimate grandson of the late eldest son of the Chen family, a shipping dynasty in Nanjiang.
Caught in a turbulent age of transition, with foreign powers circling, he has no desire to inherit the family business and pursue profit. His heart is set on building a strong army and a powerful nation.
He studies abroad in Japan and masters the essentials of a modern army.
Returning home, he builds a disciplined, elite force, an invincible army of iron.
He eliminates warlords at home, resists foreign aggression, marches north, sweeps all before him, and unifies a shattered China.
He builds railways, develops industry, strengthens the military, and secures the coast, helping this impoverished and weakened nation truly stand tall, grow strong, and hold its ground on a new historical timeline!
Witness how a transmigrated young marshal, with an iron fist, ushers in a new era of a powerful China!
