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.

Reincarnated: Vive La France

What a journey it has been watching Moreau rise, step by step, through fire and politics. This novel has grown alongside me, and I'm deeply grateful to every one of you who stood by, encouraged me, and made this story what it is today.

But this past month has been one of the hardest for me and this novel. Piracy has taken a toll and while I understand that many readers genuinely can't afford subscriptions, the impact on me as the author has been devastating. Last month, what I used to earn in a single day now takes four. Despite steady readership, very few are subscribing anymore.

As a student, this novel has been more than just a passion it's also my livelihood. Watching it collapse due to piracy has been crushing. I never thought I'd have to write something like this, but here I am, torn between continuing and giving up.

Still, I haven't dropped this story. Not yet. And I don't want to. But I need your help.

If you've loved Moreau's journey if you've found something special in these chapters please consider subscribing. If piracy continues to drain the story's life, I may have no choice but to reduce updates to 1–2 chapters per week, solely for the readers who've supported me from the beginning.

I'm not asking for much just a little support from those who can afford it. Let's keep this world alive, together.
