[Handcrafted, No AI]+ [Reverse Money-Burning]+ [Republican-Era Wang Duoyu]+ [The Foreign Powers Are Me]+ [Reverse Farming]+ [Infrastructure Maniac]+ [No Frustrating Setbacks]
After transmigrating into the warlord-torn Republic of China, Zhang Xuehan is bound to the [Max-Level Money-Burning System].
Losing money lets him exchange it for immortality and assets worth tens of billions in the modern world.
But making money only forces him to accept top-tier military technology and territory of equal value!
Desperate to go bankrupt at lightning speed and return home, he launches into a Republican-era version of Wang Duoyu’s madcap self-destruction:
From the start, he steals his elder brother’s unwanted older fiancée, hoping to cement his reputation as a lecher.
He heads to a barren, poisonous pool and recklessly spends a fortune building a useless factory.
He thinks the bandits are too poor, so he forbids infantry charges and bombards them with outrageously expensive shells just to hear them go off.
But he underestimates how easily the “brilliant minds” around him can talk themselves into things. The whole lot starts stabbing him in the back!
His first wife, Yu Fengzhi, tears up: “My husband has planned so far ahead. There’s endless black gold beneath those poisonous waters, the Daqing Oil Field! I’ll go and take over the foreign powers’ entire economic pie!”
Marshal Zhang slaps his thigh: “My son’s artillery bombardment was actually meant to sound a warning and intimidate those Japanese devils! Give him the entire Fengtian Army’s trump cards!”
His battle-hardened subordinates roar with fervor: “The Young Marshal has given away a fortune to save the people from danger. We swear to serve him to the death and sweep across the Far East!”
A few years later, when the foreign powers look up at skies darkened by Stuka dive bombers and an unstoppable tide of steel, they’re completely terrified.
Looking at his invincible army, which has conquered half the world, Zhang Xuehan wants to cry: “Heaven is my witness, I never wanted to become a foreign power! I just wanted to squander my fortune!”
