   They all meet your requirements. The first book is new, hence the low rating, but I think it's quite well-written and has a complex plot; those who like this kind of story can check it out. For modern military themes, read 2 and 3—they're classics. I don't read many gamer-themed books, but I highly recommend the fourth one—it's truly excellent. For behind-the-scenes stories, I recommend the fifth one; I think it's pretty good.

    Book 1: The protagonist transmigrates to Shanghai during the Republic of China era, summoning a police station at the start. He's decisive and ruthless, preferring action to words. Book 2: In the apocalypse, the protagonist summons an infantry squad. Again, he's decisive and ruthless; this isn't a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. Book 3: The protagonist starts in a bizarre instance where defeating monsters earns him Red Alert units—airplanes, tanks, artillery, and even Red Alert heroes. All fear stems from insufficient firepower, which the protagonist overwhelming with sheer firepower. (I personally enjoy summoning and lord-themed novels; I have many more of these on my bookshelf. Wish-fulfillment novels require some thought to enjoy!)
