The Crimson Dragon: Autumn Leaves and Begonias

(Hearts of Iron IV, alternate-history world, another world, research slots, development, Qiuye Haitang)

After staying up all night playing Hearts of Iron, Xing Tang wakes to find himself in the early twentieth century, in the Federation of Tastar, where he has become a member of a Chinese tycoon family.

Meanwhile, his father, Liu Xiaoyu, courtesy name Tianwen, throws himself into the revolutionary struggle raging across the ancient cradle of civilization. After thinking it over, his mother decides to cross the ocean and join her husband.

Having awakened a "research slot," Xing Tang displays extraordinary scientific talent at a young age, earning the esteem of the grandfathers back in his ancestral homeland.

At the same time, another celestial star descends on the continent's northwestern corner, stirring the night sky. A chance encounter brings the two of them into a close relationship.

Both of their factions are on friendly terms with the great bear to the north, and together they form a knowledge and industrial trade network spanning the northern continent. Add in the "support" from their ancestral homeland, and it becomes a truly global network of connections.

The tides of a radically changed era continue to surge forward. The red flag has been raised in the Central Plains, and the gears of industrialization are slowly turning in the "cave dwellings."

The crimson dragon from the East begins to roar at the world, revealing its imposing stature.
