From the Start, Simulating the Rise of an American Tycoon

Set a small goal: three years of hard work, five years to build a nation, ten years of development, and twenty years to become a leading power in the Americas.

The founding of the People's Republic of China was a great event in 1860.

What kind of cheat code is this? In 10 years, he annexed Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay, built his own ships, instantly achieved secondary industrialization, built railways and factories in an instant, and immigrated 3 million Chinese. He didn't need a talent pool, looked down on white people, and expected them to invent things for him.

I don't understand why we needed to fight Britain. From the moment Russia occupied Constantinople, I felt there was something wrong with this book. It's completely self-indulgent. Why not just maintain a balance of power in Europe like Britain did? Why are you so far away in South America, thinking of Britain and not America?

With your cheat-like abilities, you're doomed to nothing but death. What kind of protagonist is this, supposedly abandoned by heaven and earth? He's died countless times in just the first few chapters. Putting aside the cheat code, the book is not bad, but it's essentially a cheat simulator, which is a flaw. I think if they changed it to a different cheat code, the book would be even better.

The protagonist's use of the Ming dynasty's descendants as a pretext is purely self-defeating and morally reprehensible. Those descendants aren't even extinct; what if suddenly a few pop up beckoning you for wealth and power? What if they use the guise of imperial relatives to commit crimes?

It's not even in the same league as the great heroes of the Xinhai Revolution; it lacks any logic, is all fluff, and is just a rambling, self-absorbed account.

I can accept everything else, but I have one question: would you allow Chinese Americans to rule the United States after it becomes independent? Personally, I feel that becoming a tycoon or doing business wouldn't be a problem, improving the status of Chinese Americans wouldn't be an issue either, and even establishing a state as a Chinese American stronghold would be possible.

After watching for so long, I've noticed the protagonist is increasingly putting the cart before the horse. Instead of unifying the weaker South American nations, he's conquering colonies worldwide. Isn't that absurd? He should first unify South America, then massively immigrate to build a solid foundation.

To be a leader, one needs intelligence, sound mind, charisma, a strong sense of shared interests, effective leadership skills, and a robust system of rules and regulations. The protagonist, however, is just a complete idiot.
