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!
Serbia's surrender came as no surprise to the other nations of the world. They had fought, lost repeatedly in a series of disastrous battles, and were caught between their enemies on both sides. The Kingdom immediately became occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Army, who would, for the duration of the war act as Gendarmes.
As for The remainder of the newly reconstituted Central Powers were concerned, the war in the Balkans had yet to fully end. Montenegro had yet to sue for peace despite being surrounded on all sides by their enemies. While the Ottoman Empire still remained defiant.
Montenegro was naturally the first cause for concern, but Bruno believed they would surrender within the week. Most likely by the start of the new year. Because of this, he set his eyes on the Ottoman Empire and the lands that they still occupied in Europe.
