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!
Plan XVII
Bruno had changed the timeline in more ways than he realized. Not only had things begun to move quicker than they had in his past life, such as the Russian Revolution of 1905 being moved up a year because of the sheer degree of losses which Russia suffered during the Russo-Japanese war as result of Bruno's actions in the region.
But France had begun devising a proper plan on how to invade and defeat Germany in the event of the outbreak of war much earlier in this life than they had in the last one. For instance, currently a group of French Generals were gathered in France to discuss the issue.
And standing among their ranks was the newly promoted Général de brigade, Leon Sinclair. The man had done well to hide his Marxist sympathies over the years, especially during the troubled times that his comrades suffered after the Germans had assassinated the previous French Chief of Staff while successfully pinning the blame for their attack on local French Marxist groups.
