Re: Blood and Iron
Karl Wagner is a disgruntled middle-aged instructor at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College. He finds himself concerned about the direction which the German nation is headed in—just as he is killed by a terrorist attack. Only to awaken and find himself reborn as an infant, Bruno von Zehntner, the youngest son of a noble family renowned for its part in the German war industry a few years after the founding of the German Empire. Bruno, as he is now known, desires to rewrite history and ensure the German Empire emerges victorious in the coming century. And in doing so, finds himself entrenched in a world filled with Blood and Iron!
The Coming of a Great War
Bruno stepped foot into a room which had a large map displayed across a table of substantial size. It was a global map, or as the world's borders currently stood. And there were pieces displayed upon it representing Russian and Japanese forces.
The Russian Army, as Bruno anticipated had fallen back to Mukden, and was currently building fortifications in the area. Meanwhile, the Japanese Third Army and its supporting elements were on the move to encircle the Russian position as per Bruno's suggested strategy.
When the Japanese generals saw Bruno enter the room, their attention quickly shifted to him. As did Emperor Meiji's who was standing over the map and moving pieces that represented his own forces. His expression seemed stern as he welcomed Bruno into his personal war chamber.
