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 II
It was not surprising to Bruno that Russia had spent the last half a decade focusing on rapid industrialization efforts and modernization of its industry. In fact, as a Prince of Russia, Bruno himself had invested heavily in at least one of these things.
When it came to the extraction, refinement, and manufacture of natural resources into usable goods, Bruno had spent a pretty sum acquiring all the means to do so within Russia, contributing to the growth of its economy, and more importantly, providing many employment opportunities to the millions of people displaced by the Russian Civil War.
He did not realize it yet, but Bruno was more beloved in Russia than he was in Germany at the moment by the people, the Orthodox Church, the nobility, and even the House of Romanov; he was seen as an exemplary man of virtue and might—a rare combination in this world.
