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!
An Important Decision For a Later Time
Emperor Meiji thought for some time on what Bruno had said. It would be reckless to declare his support for one faction or the other here and now. But what the German General had said made perfect sense.
It was only a matter of time before some incident set off a global war. And when that happened the war which he was currently fighting would seem like child's play. Still, Bruno had at least been honest with him and said that siding with the British would result in an easy victory against the Germans in the Pacific.
And it would allow him to seize some ground in China and Malaysia that would be a foothold in the region that he currently didn't have. But at the same time, Bruno had also said that siding with the German Reich would allow for even greater gains, especially if he properly prepared his army for the coming war, which many nations were still unaware of being a certainty.
