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!
Introducing Armored Cars
One of the major problems with the Great War, and why it suddenly ended up in a stalemate where millions of men died for the gain of a single mile in static and brutal trench warfare, was because, to put it simply, military weaponry advanced well beyond the means of transportation.
Trucks and armored vehicles weren't really a thing yet. Those were inventions that spawned from the end of the Great War and throughout the interwar period. Hell, the entire oil industry was really not developed enough to sustain a full-scale motorized form of warfare.
And though Bruno had begun making substantial investments in the oil and natural gas industries, if he was being honest, it would be years before Germany had enough fuel stored to properly make use of such advancements in military transportation.
