Red Alert Nation-Building in Another World (MTL)

In “Red Alert,” Le Hong Phong, a Red Alert enthusiast and former sociology student, is suddenly transported to an alternate timeline where Vietnam has disappeared, Baghdad is a lost patch of sand, and history is rewritten in a “do-it-yourself empire” style.



With the unique “Red Alert” system, I can summon troops, tanks, and all sorts of “military toys” without having to wait for software updates. But not everything is as I dreamed: the terms, logistics, and “military” cuisine make life so ironic and sarcastic that you have to laugh and shake your head at the same time.



While building an underground base and providing resources for the entire empire, I had to struggle with the “absurd” terms of the system – from strictly limited population summoning to maintaining tanks so they don’t turn into scrap metal.
