   The books I recommended are all Red Alert. The first one is about conquering and building up armies in various timelines, including urban and post-apocalyptic settings—it satisfies all your needs in one book. The second one is by an older author; I think I read his Red Alert: Great China before. It was quite good. The later books were just things I found on my bookshelf; take a look yourself, I haven't read them much lately.
