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!

Desperation was the mother of stupid decisions; when one felt cornered, they tended to become anxious, and when humans became anxious, they generally did not think through their decisions properly before putting them into motion.
And this was the case for the French Army and their leadership. It was a tale as old as time itself, or at least as old as democracy… Politicians hid themselves away while starting wars neither they nor their privileged children had any intent to fight.
At least monarchs generally fought in the wars they started—or they had in years past. In fact, during Bruno's past life, the last national leader to fight in a war was actually King Albert I, who had rallied his forces and fought alongside them in a defensive operation against the Germans at the start of the Great War.
