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!
Diplomatic Efforts to Ensure the Arab Revolution Begins
"Wa ʿalaykumu s-salam"
These were the words spoken by Faisal I bin al-Hussein bin Ali al-Hashemi, the third son of the Grand Emir and Sharif of Mecca, who in Bruno's past life had become the First King of Iraq. There was a genuine tone of hospitality in the words of the Arabic leader as he spoke with the agent of the Kaiser.
Maximilian was a Christian, and a European, a descendent of those primitive barbarians that the Arabic world used to look down upon during their glory days. But there were nearly a thousand years removed since then and now.
During the centuries the Arabic world had stagnated, and eventually fallen behind the Christian European nations whose military might combined was more than enough to rule the entire world, and for the most part they did.
