Story of myself

Chapter 1Story of Myself

The source material for the film Arrival manages to cram in an entire life story on the edges of your vision as you focus on the sci-fi puzzle at the center of the page. The twisty ending forces you to go back and read it a second time in order to catch that story and see just how deeply Chiang sketches out someone's life while distracting you with the big shiny spaceship.

Reborn in Soviet Union 1991

A cynical 21st-century historian, contemptuous of the Soviet Union's collapse, is inexplicably reborn as Gennady Yanayev in the heart of Moscow, August 1991. Armed with future knowledge and a ruthless determination, he hijacks the impending coup, not to preserve a dying system, but to forge a new, terrifyingly efficient Soviet superpower poised for global domination. Following a freak accident, Alex awakens not in a hospital, but in the body of Gennady Yanayev, Vice President of the USSR, on the eve of the infamous August Coup of 1991. Initially disoriented, Yanaev quickly grasps the monumental implications. This isn't just a second chance for a forgotten historical figure; it's a chance to rewrite history on an unimaginable scale. Discarding Yanayev's hesitant, fumbling persona, Alex – now Yanayev – moves with a chilling decisiveness. He knows the coup is doomed to fail in its original form, a pathetic whimper before the inevitable collapse. He intends to make it a roar. Using his intimate knowledge of the key players, their fears, and their secrets, Yanayev systematically neutralizes his rivals within the State Committee on the State of Emergency. Where persuasion fails, veiled threats and, when necessary, swift, brutal assassinations clear his path. With the Soviet Union now firmly in his iron grip, Yanayev implements radical reforms – not towards democracy, but towards a hyper-efficient, technologically advanced, and ideologically re-energized state. He purges corruption with an iron fist, revitalizes the military-industrial complex by leveraging future technological concepts (albeit with 1990s resources), and masterfully manipulates nationalist sentiments to unify the fracturing republics under a new, stronger Soviet banner. The West, initially confused by the coup's unexpected ferocity and success, watches in dawning horror. The United States and its allies, anticipating a Soviet implosion, now face a resurgent and far more dangerous adversary. As Yanayev's USSR begins to project its power outwards, reasserting influence in Eastern Europe, forging new alliances in Asia and Africa, and challenging American dominance at every turn, a new, more perilous Cold War ignites.

Reincarnated: Vive La France

France, 1934. The scars of the Great War still shape the military minds of the Third Republic. Trapped in the past, its generals place their faith in fortifications and defensive warfare, while across the Rhine, a new German army rises, faster, deadlier, and ready to crush everything in its path. Into this world awakens Captain Étienne Moreau, a man who should not exist. He remembers another life, one where France falls in 1940, where German tanks storm through the Ardennes, bypassing the Maginot Line. One where his country surrenders in a matter of weeks. But here, now, he has a chance to stop it. As an officer in the 2nd Armored Division, he fights for reforms: pushing for mobile tank warfare, warning of Hitler’s growing ambitions, and challenging the high command’s obsession with World War I tactics. Yet, his ideas are dismissed as radical, madness from a young officer who "thinks he knows war." Surrounded by political intrigue, military infighting, and rising fascism, Moreau must carefully navigate the system, winning allies among future leaders like Charles de Gaulle, while avoiding suspicion from the French High Command. His knowledge is a double-edged sword, if he is too aggressive, he risks being labeled a traitor. If he does nothing, he will live to see France burn. As war draws closer, Moreau faces a terrifying question: Can history be changed? Or is France doomed to fall, no matter what he does? Time is running out. The Blitzkrieg is coming. And he may be France’s last chance to fight back. -------------- Join my Discord Server. https://discord.gg/jma9zt3eNs
