Fighting the War of Resistance Across Two Worlds: I’m a Middleman, Backed by the National Team

Chu Ming unexpectedly obtains a portal connecting the modern world with China in 1938. He plans to turn it over to the government and work as a courier, but the System warns him that everything must be exchanged at equal value. Nothing can be taken for free!

The national team hears this and, far from worrying, their eyes light up. “An equal-value exchange? In 1938, China is practically covered in gold!”

The first batch of goods: a truckload of national treasures and antiques looted by the Japanese army, several century-old wild ginseng roots, and a whole truckload of high-purity rare-earth ore.

The modern national team sells the goods at a premium on the international market, brings in a fortune in foreign currency, and promptly clears out the country’s decommissioned weapons stockpiles and compressed-ration factories!

When Chu Ming drives a heavy truck loaded with Type 56 rifles, mortars, and tons of canned pork back to the War of Resistance, the Eighth Route Army commander’s hands tremble. “Xiao Chu, did you rob Yan Xishan’s arsenal?”

Chu Ming grins. “Commander, if you capture more Japanese officers’ swords and gold bars, I’ll bring you a tank tomorrow. Mortars are nothing!”

Nourished by trade across time, modern China’s technology and economy both take off, while wartime China uses the modern firepower it receives to beat the Japanese army senseless.

While the American army is locked in battle with the Japanese in the Pacific, the Eighth Route Army is already sweeping through the Kwantung Army in Sherman tanks, armed with Type 56 submachine guns. Standing atop the walls of Beijing, Chu Ming salutes the flags of both eras.
