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!
Returning to the Hofburg
Considering it was a time of peace, and Bruno's substantial position within the Central Division of the German Army's high command. He was a man who was more than capable of taking time off when he needed it.
Especially for the sake of diplomatic visits. Even so, he did not immediately go visit the Habsburgs despite his intentions to do so. Instead, he spent the next few months enjoying his peaceful time with his family, all while his new estate was constructed in the background and his economic ventures continued to succeed. Thanks, of course, to his amazing foresight into the matter.
Because of this, it was not until the early months of 1907, that Bruno took his family on a winter vacation to Vienna. First by reaching out to the Kasier Franz Joseph I of Austria, and communicating with the man regularly enough throughout the fall and early days of winter in order to secure a proper invitation.
