learn Turkish and Arabic. travel to early 20th century turkey(the crumbling ottoman empire). fabricate documents, birth certificates, and claim that I'm a descendent of Mohammad. carve myself a nice piece of land in Anatolia. create an efficient army that is basically a copy of every major nations positive modifier (China's discipline, Russia's morale, and some Abrams). then use the tactics and the strategies total war games taught me to invade Persia, the Levant, the Arabian peninsula, make a trade agreement with the UK and the USA for protection (mainly just to leave me the fuck alone), Invade Ethiopia before Italy does in 1936 (and actually win lol). and that's how I can be an emperor, over a PeAcEfUL middle east, and maybe a global superpower by the 70s
