   🔥🔥🔥 [Highly Recommended] "The Iron-Blooded Journey of an Official" and "The Middle East Turmoil of an Official" The protagonist, Chen Feng, rises from a lowly town mayor to lead over 300 men to the Middle East. He captures a rebel king, fights a bloody battle in the royal palace, is crowned the King of Han, establishes a special forces brigade, and confronts the US, UK, and Japan head-on. A ballistic missile directly smashes through 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 turmoil, and court intrigue—the protagonist walks a tightrope, every step teetering on the edge of a precipice.
