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!
It's Show Time!
The Serbian King's face twitched ever so slightly, so little in fact that one might not have seen it if they were not closely examining his face. But Bruno saw it and continued to smirk as he drank his tea. For obvious reasons, the man would not accept this demand.
Though on the surface it seemed like a minor concession, as for all intents and purposes, Austro-Hungary currently already had administrative control over Bosnia and Herzegovina. The reality of the situation was, with the Black Hand's ambitions towards the Balkans which were against the interests of both the Habsburgs and the Romanovs, they would never allow this to take place without some form of conflict taking place.
This was actually one of the reasons why Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Bruno's past life, as the Habsburgs proceeded with annexation of Bosnia in 08, leading to the plot against their presumed heir by the Black Hand.
