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!
Despite deploying his troops as quickly as possible to the borders of the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to hold the line, and prevent the Turkish Army from mobilizing into Bulgaria's eastern borders, Bruno himself remained in Sofia, waiting for the representative parties to arrive to discuss the terms of surrender.
It would naturally take a while, as each monarch representing their own nation's interests, and their highest ranking generals were busy elsewhere. This would, after all be a discussion between the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Central Powers as a whole.
Neutral ground was unnecessary as the Royal Bulgarian Army had surrendered in totality, and had accepted their fate as it was.
