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!
Planning For the Gallipoli Campaign
Bruno would gather daily with the fellow leaders of the Army Groups sent to the Balkan Campaign. At the same time, Montenegro, as expected, fell by the wayside. With Serbia out of the war, and being surrounded by a technologically superior army numbered over tenfold their own forces, the small Kingdom admitted defeat before the final battle had been waged.
In the span of a single season, the two greatest concerns of the Balkans had been taken out with swift and decisive action. Now all that remained was the Ottoman Empire, and it had been a thorn in Europe's side for far, far too long. And Bruno would bring a brutal end to its regime, and in doing so, would allow Greece to reclaim its historical and disputed territories.
Bruno planned to be so thorough in his victory that not a single Turk would remain in the lands of Thrace, Ionia, Cyprus, the Dodecanese Islands, and Crete. So long as a single Turk occupied these lands, they would forever be disputed.
