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!
Discussing Counters to German Gains and Advancements
Technological advances, upon technological advancements, one could simply not fathom the degree to which the German Reich had not only shocked their enemies on the global stage but also their allies.
Armored cars were one thing, they had already been developed by nations and deployed as far back as the Italo-Turkish war of 1911. And sure, the ones used by the Germans were far more advanced in pretty much every way. But going against such vehicles was to be expected.
The same could be said for military aviation. Were the German planes significantly more advanced than their adversaries? Most certainly, but given a few years of development, this gap could reasonably be closed, at least to a certain extent.
