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!
Meritocracy Above All
"Tattered Banners on the Greek Border" were the headlines that appeared throughout international news outlets over the course of the following days, depicted corpses as far as the eyes could see, many of which were grouped together around both national and regimental colours.
To put it simply, after being caught in between the German Army, and their rapid advance, as well as the courageous sons of Leonidas who held their ground long enough against overwhelming odds for it to pay off the Allied Forces in the South of Serbia were completely annihilated.
Annihilation in terms of military context didn't necessarily mean the death or injury of every soldier. It simply meant reducing the enemy military's capabilities to fight to a non-existent level forcing the enemy commanders to surrender.
