Becoming the World’s Hegemon, Starting with the Iraq War

[A modified Red Alert System + overwhelming troop production + economic development + resource infiltration]

On the eve of the 2003 Iraq War, Wang Yi transmigrated to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Just as he was about to despair, he unlocked a modified Red Alert System.

In the System’s shop, ordinary supplies cost only one percent of their market price, while weapons cost just one-tenth of the going rate. What’s more, he could use mineral resources to ramp up the System’s funds and mass-produce troops.

After the Iraq War broke out, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) established by the United States outsourced everything.

Wang Yi’s System shop used its rock-bottom prices and high-quality goods to monopolize Iraq’s infrastructure construction, security, logistics, and supply chains through various channels and shell companies.

From then on, all of Iraq was under Wang Yi’s control, while the heavy combined-arms brigades and air-defense battalions he mass-produced crushed every discordant voice.

A few years later, with his influence spread across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, Wang Yi had surpassed the United States and become a new global power, the undisputed hegemon of the world and an emperor in the shadows.
