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 Peaceful Spring
It was not long after coordinating three avalanches on as many Boxer strongholds that Bruno was recalled back to the German Area of Responsibility. Throughout the winter, the other officers in his unit had primarily spent the time within the safety, warmth, and comfort of the base.
Bruno however, was in the field, orchestrating the deaths of thousands of rebels. He had gained a reputation in this conflict. A man who was brutally efficient in finding and eliminating the enemy. With only a single engagement, he could sniff out where the others were hiding, and once he got their scent, it was all over.
Because of this, the French soldiers who had served under his advisory capacity gave him a nickname that rapidly spread among the members of the Eight-Nation Alliance. One that he only became aware of when he returned to base, and was greeted by his Battalion Commander.
"Le loup de Prusse" Or in English "The Wolf of Prussia."
