Wang Zhong arrived in an alternate world and became embroiled in this world's global war. What he gained was a cheat, akin to a real-time strategy game's overhead perspective, and he could even see through the eyes of his subordinates' units! So, he decisively started micro-managing, "Shift the machine gun position five centimeters to the left! Place the anti-tank cannon in the forest on the right!" Three years passed in this manner, and Wang Zhong looked at the marshal's baton in his hand, then at the double-headed eagle flag behind the emperor's envoy. "In my hometown, there's an old saying, 'Princes and generals, are they not sprung from the masses?' Envoy, do you know of it?"
The story is quite interesting, and I really like the duality between Joan of Arc and Napoléon, Joan who is very valiant but lacks of any political sense and wants to fight while preserving the code of chivalry, and Napoleon, who is talented in terms of war strategy and politics but seems very cynical and disrespectful of the chivalric spirit. I find that the two counterbalance each other well and mutually prevent each other from exacerbating their respective flaws, especially when Joan tells Napoleon not to go too fast and to go to Reims before going to Paris. And Napoleon makes Joan understand that war is not just a matter of honor and chivalry and that victory must be achieved even if the methods are orthodox and contrary to some medieval principles. But as for the development of the story... im afraid that the story will remain too close to the historical timeline, knowing that Napoleon returned to Reims at the exact same time. Or that on Patreon it's stated that the real Napoleon (of 1804) wasn't the first to crown himself and that Charles VII had already done so (a rather cool passage that shows Napoleon still has a big ego ^^). This could indicate that the events in this story won't change the future of France at all, which would be very disappointing. Will Napoleon end the war much sooner? Joan d'arc will survive ? Will he succeed in his goal of forming a permanent royal army? Will he go back to war to establish the natural borders and perhaps even take Corsica? In any case I can't wait to see what happens next.
