Lin Zhiyuan is an ordinary foreign-trade clerk in 2025 who wakes up transmigrated to Los Angeles in 1940.
The family business is on the brink of bankruptcy. His grandfather leaves him with a final charge, and there are only eight thousand dollars in the account. From the start, it’s hell mode.
Just as he’s about to lie flat, the [War Economy Analysis System] activates!
“Warning: The U.S. military urgently needs .30 rifle cartridges. A warehouse east of town has cheap stock.”
“Warning: Scrap steel is about to be banned from export, and prices will soar by 40%.”
“Warning: Penicillin is about to become a drug that will change the war...”
While others hoard gold, he stockpiles canned food, scrap steel, and rubber.
While others flee the war, he buys a secondhand ammunition-loading line on the cheap and builds a secret munitions factory in the Philippines.
Using the System’s warnings, he resells military supplies and makes a fortune.
Then he sends all the money and ammunition to Yan’an.
The Juntong keeps an eye on him, Japanese agents want him dead, and the FBI investigates him.
Lin Zhiyuan acts like an old friend to Claire Chennault while secretly dismantling the ammunition production line and shipping its parts along the Hump route to the Communist base area.
From his first fortune to his first bullet, from the first dose of penicillin to the first complete ammunition production line.
Over six years, he sends the Chinese Communist Party more than three million dollars, millions of rounds of ammunition, and countless medical supplies.
The Flying Tigers call him the “King of Logistics,” the Kuomintang denounces him as a “Red merchant,” and Yan’an calls him a “hero of the people.”
It instantly transports people back to the war-torn years. The wonderful parts are full of emotions and worth watching.
Quite eye-catching. I hope there will be ups and downs in the follow-up
So far so good, I just don't understand what the American KMT could do at that time
