    🔥 [Highly Recommended] "The Iron-Blooded Journey of Officialdom" and "The Middle East Turmoil of Officialdom" The protagonist, Chen Feng, rises from a lowly town mayor to lead over 300 men to the Middle East, capturing a rebel king, fighting in the royal palace, being crowned the King of Han, establishing a special forces brigade, and confronting the US, UK, and Japan head-on. His ballistic missiles directly penetrate an Israeli hangar, forcing the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to the negotiating table in Abu Dhabi. This isn't a mindless wish-fulfillment novel; it's full of political intrigue, ruthlessness, and geopolitical maneuvering. Great power rivalry, Middle Eastern chaos, and undercurrents in the imperial court—the protagonist walks a tightrope, every step teetering on the edge of a precipice.
