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!
A Long Forgotten Offer Finally Accepted
Bruno's predictions had more or less come true… Especially in regards to Nikola Tesla. Fearing the idea of leaving the "land of opportunity" which was the United States behind, especially in this booming era of free enterprise in the region. The genius inventor had declined to initially accept Bruno's invitation to move to the German Reich and work for him.
Despite Bruno acquiring many of the era's greatest inventors, Tesla remained firm in his decision. But as Bruno also expected, nobody else was really willing to invest in his ideas that were just "not profitable" from the perspective of businessmen who could not grasp the bigger picture of Tesla's brilliance and what it meant for the world, and humanity as a whole.
Money began to dry up very quickly, and when the War broke out, that only further become a matter of complication, as US companies began to infringe on his patents, or at least those that were still giving him some monetary compensation.
