Republican Era: A Trillionaire Returns Home with an American-Armed Fleet

During the 1935 North China Crisis, Chen Shaolin, a tycoon secretly backed by American financial powers, returned home in grand style with two armed cargo ships of ten thousand tons each and 300 million in silver dollars.

He had no System, but the Donghua Consortium under his command controlled North American shipping and steel, with assets worth tens of billions of Republican-era yuan!

On his first day back, British constables smashed his elderly clan uncle's head with a gun butt, sneering, "No Chinese or dogs allowed";

Local tyrants and corrupt gentry joined forces with bandits from the Dabie Mountains and Japanese ronin to forcibly demolish his ancestral home. They meant to drag his critically ill, eighty-one-year-old great-aunt from her bed and chop up her coffin!

The next instant, three heavy armored Dodges smashed through the checkpoint. Eight elite guards armed with American weapons appeared out of nowhere, and nine Thompson submachine guns tore through a hundred bandits on the spot!

A British major threatened to open fire. On the river, a ten-thousand-ton vessel tore away its camouflage net, bringing its twin Bofors heavy naval guns to bear on the throat of the British concession!

"You used my creditors' claims to buy guns, then pointed them at my countrymen? Get on your knees!!"

He bought up all the farmland in the county for 100,000 silver dollars, stabilized Jiangnan grain prices with a thousand tons of flour, and armed every young man in his clan with American machine guns!

Jinling was so terrified it sent a special envoy begging for mercy in the dead of night. Every batch of Special Higher Police assassins died to a man, and he shorted Tokyo's financial world so badly they lined up on the rooftops!

In this life, anyone who dares lay a hand on even one of my countrymen will face my American dollars and heavy steel artillery. I'll wipe out his entire family!
