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!
Establishing Ties to the House of Romanov
Tsar Nicholas II took Bruno into his war room, where the German General was surprised to find that they were all alone. Afterward the Tsar shut the door behind him, and closed the blinds, before turning on the lights, where he revealed after pulling off a large blanket a miniature map of Western Russia, whose borders at this point in time were shared with that of the German Reich, as well as that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
On the map were little figures that were incredibly detailed, which represented the plans the Tsar had for the modernization of his forces. There were also figures based upon the changes the Germans and Austro-Hungarians had made thus far to their armed forces, or at least insofar as the Tsar was aware of.
