In the Name of the People: All In from the Start, Who Else but Me?

I wake up from a nap and somehow transmigrate into Qi Tongwei. From the start, I'm trapped on Yingling Ridge with no way out! Special police surround the place, Hou Liangping is beside them trying to talk me into surrendering with one sermon after another, and Sha Ruijin and the other officials watch the show through the surveillance feed. At this desperate moment, the System comes online. Should I surrender and go to prison, or shoot Hou Liangping and switch to the 1949 route? I'll take the second option! Then I'll turn around and hand the time portal over to the state!
