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!
Unintentional Intimidation
As was only common courtesy, Bruno was given a full tour of the Romanian King's estate, as well as a lengthy, albeit interesting, explanation of his family's history. The Kingdom of Romania was young, established as a kingdom as far back as 1881. But the family's house was naturally much older, being the Swabian Branch of the House of Hohenzollern, which now ruled over the German Reich.
Many people in his place might find such a lecture to be a dull affair, but not Bruno; he was quite an avid enjoyer of history. And naturally, such ancient houses possessed knowledge that one might say was more difficult to dig up through conventional means, either in this life or in his past life.
Either way, Bruno had more or less proved his interest to the Romanian King, both in terms of his family's history and his attempts to establish proper ties to them. Bruno was, after all, rather charming when he could be compelled to socialize.
