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!
Protecting the Consulates
Bruno entered the headquarters of the German Army's Central Division where he found that for the first time in a while, things seemed rather exciting, with calls being connected and telegrams coming in from all over.
Having not been aware of the declaration of war between the Young Turk rebels and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, he was surprised to find that war broke out in the near east several months earlier than it had in his previous life.
On January 12th, 1908, a formal memorandum was drawn up by the Committee of Union and Progress, which was the largest of the Young Turk groups rejecting foreign intervention and nationalist activism. They also called for constitutional government and equality amongst Ottoman citizens.
