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!
Enraging a True Man of Culture
Throughout all of human history, few rulers received as bad as a reputation as Tsar Nicholas II had. Not because he was particularly brutal, ruthless, and despotic. But rather due to the sheer incompetency he displayed during his reign over the Russian Empire.
To call the Tsar horrifically misunderstood would be the understatement of a lifetime. The sad truth of the matter is he had been thrust into power long before he was fit, or capable of ruling over a small town, let alone one of the world's largest empires and pre-eminent powers.
And this was the fault of his father, a man who had simply performed his role as a monarch poorly, who appeared to be more interested in repressing his people than actually grooming his heir to take over the throne after he had died.
