Lin Rui had transmigrated, finding himself transformed into Lord Arthur Sterling—a notorious, cowardly British aristocratic officer on the French front in 1940. Bad news: It was the eve of the Dunkirk evacuation; the British army was in complete disarray, and he was surrounded by a German armored division in Azhebrew, certain to die. Good news: He hadn't ended up in the Italian army, getting beaten up by natives in North Africa. Even better news: his mind had been loaded with a God's-eye view (RTS) of the battlefield. "I have no loyalty to the British Empire, no respect for George VI." Arthur, or rather Lin Rui, straightened his tie, his eyes cold as he stared at the map covered in dense red enemy markings. "I just don't want to die in the French mire. If the price of survival is sending these Germans to hell, or ousting that arrogant Montgomery… then I'll have no choice but to accept it." Facing the German armored onslaught, he straightened his tie and raised his cane. "There's an old saying in my hometown, 'Manners make a man,' Hans, do you know that?" And so, from Azheim to El Alamein, from Normandy to Berlin, he commanded the most brutal war with the most elegant bearing. "Tank, adjust three degrees to the left; Jerry's ammunition rack is there." "Gentlemen, fix bayonets. Afternoon tea time." Tags: Transmigrating to Britain / Tactical micromanagement / Dark themes / Pseudo-gentleman / Elegy for the Empire

(The first book by a foreign literary master on Qidian with a volume of 10,000 characters) Years later, when Nabokov was teaching Russian literature in the United States, he did it in this way. In the pitch-black room, he first turned on a lamp in the corner and said, "Pushkin is the first guiding light of Russian literature." Then he turned on the middle lamp and said, "This is Gogol." Then he turned on another lamp and said, "This is Chekhov." Then, he strode to the window, forcefully pulled open the curtains to let the bright sunlight stream into the room, and shouted, "This is Tolstoy!" After calming down, a student raised his hand and asked, "Professor, what about the sky outside?" "You all know without me saying it." Nabokov opened the window and looked out at the boundless sky: "The origin of the modern world! Both on a spiritual and a practical level!" The immortal Mikhail Romanovich Raskolnikov! Concise version: Returning to the winter of 1844 in Russia, the story of how Mikhail gradually became a Russian literary giant and even a spiritual leader for the entire European continent.
