   This is a truly top-tier book. It doesn't have a female lead, and since it's a warlord novel, it's best to avoid excessive female-centric plots. It's a bit slow-paced, but it follows the logic of gradually developing industry. The later naval battles and other elements are well-written, providing a thrilling experience of great power rivalry. It's not one of those mindless, straightforward stories. It's worth reading.

    I recommend two books, five stars ★★★★★: One is a completed novel of over 2.6 Million words, 9.1 Rating, over 1200 chapters, a very enjoyable read. The other is a currently updating novel of 1.2 Million words. The protagonist sells weapons to the Eighth Route Army and incidentally helps the base area develop its industry. Sun Desheng: Regimental Commander, using Tiger tanks to fight those Japanese mini-tanks is really exhilarating, but there are a few too few. Li Yunlong: No rush, use them for now, there are 200 more already on the way. Zhang Dabiao: Regimental Commander, my battalion is almost 5000 men, any more and we won't be able to fit them. Li Yunlong: Dabiao, a corps is still a regiment, the higher-ups don't give us official ranks, there's nothing I can do. Wang Xikui: I just killed a Japanese major general, what's the reward? Li Yunlong: Only a major general, a bit low rank, the reward is half a jin of sweet potato liquor. Chu Yunfei: Brother Yunlong, what do you think about us brothers joining forces to attack Taiyuan? Li Yunlong: Brother Yunfei, after we take this territory, we need to clarify beforehand who gets to own it.
