    "The Road to Officialdom: Middle East Turmoil," a million-word novel, is now available for reading. The first part, "The Road to Officialdom: Iron-Blooded Conquest," is complete. 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 King of Han, establishing a special forces brigade, and confronting the US, UK, and Japan. His ballistic missiles even 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 court—the protagonist walks a tightrope, every step teetering on the edge of a precipice. All the hardcore action you're looking for is here.
