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!
Echoes of the Forthcoming War Part I
Whether it was the war in Libya or the upcoming American election, Bruno had kept a close watch on world affairs. War was coming, and much quicker than he had previously thought it would. And it was perhaps because of this that he was now in close communication with allied generals who he could trust had a level of competency.
Russia was not particularly well known for its brilliant military commanders. Even Marshal Zhukov, who was praised for the victory over the Wehrmacht in the Second World War of Bruno's past life, had about as much subtlety and nuance as a blacksmith's hammer.
But in the Great War, there was one General who stood above the rest among the Stavka, which was the name for the Russian Empire's military high command. General Mikhail Alekseyev was also a man Bruno had some friendly ties to.
