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!
God Will Know His Own...
In Europe, there were more or less four regions that were majority Muslim. Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was currently under Austro-Hungarian Control, Kosovo, which had been under Serbian Control until its occupation by Austro-Hungary and its eventual surrender a week or two prior to Bruno's arrival in Germany.
There was also the European parts of the Ottoman Empire, mainly eastern Thrace, that were currently a Muslim majority. And finally, there was the independent Principality of Albania. Which at this time was in a state of total anarchy after its German prince abdicated the throne upon the start of the war.
His reasons for doing so were simple. Surrounded on all sides by hostile powers, he felt it was better to flee with his life, then wait to be invaded. Because of this, Albania was now enduring a lawless chaos, with multiple factions fighting in all areas of the small Balkan country for control over the land.
