“What the hell? You call this British and American gear?”
Top military-industry mogul Chu Xiao had just signed off on an acceptance report for a sixth-generation fighter when he opened his eyes and found himself in the Savage Mountain jungle in 1942.
From the start, the Expeditionary Force is in full retreat, with thirty thousand elite Japanese troops in pursuit. The incompetent Allied troops have long since vanished without a trace. All he has left are ragged, starving soldiers short on clothes and medicine, plus Leng Muqing, the haughty heiress of an American arms dynasty, now fallen on hard times.
Looking at the rusty Hanyang rifle in his hands and the Type 38 rifle whose barrel is almost worn smooth, Chu Xiao laughs in disbelief.
No guns, no cannons? Then I’ll build them myself!
He hand-builds a Gatling gun using a jeep’s driveshaft, giving the Japanese Type 94 armored car a taste of a metal storm! He turns the mountains of bird droppings and fertilizer in Southeast Asia into thermobaric bombs, vaporizing an entire Japanese battalion along with the hill they stand on with a single blast!
While Chiang Kai-shek still expects him to serve as cannon fodder and American generals arrogantly try to control his supplies, Chu Xiao is already leading a heavily armed combined-arms battalion. He blows the Japanese headquarters to pieces, plants his boot on Yamanashita Tomoyuki’s head, and tramples both the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack beneath his feet.
“I’m not going back. From now on, I’m the one who calls the shots in Southeast Asia!”
From blood-soaked battles in the Savage Mountain jungle to sweeping across the Indochinese Peninsula, witness how a military-industrial tyrant forges a Southeast Asian Chinese empire that stands at the pinnacle of the world amid the tropical rainforests!
