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!
Negotiating the Enemy's Surrender Part I
Bruno sat in the back of his Kübelwagen, his vehicle was on the very edge of the convoy. Sitting in the rear with other non-combatant personnel. Whether they be logistics personnel, or men beyond the risk of death by enemy fire.
The advance south would have been much more rapid if they were not relying on the terribly slow speed of human marches and the horses which carried their equipment.
As a man who once launched himself into battle via deploying from helicopters within his past life, Bruno had to admit, the critical lack of transportation within the early 20th century no doubt contributed to the brutality of trench warfare and the stagnation it had ultimately caused.
Even so, there were benefits to the slow speed, such as making it exceptionally difficult to advance beyond your means of supply. Even so, Bruno sat and waited, that is until the call came over the vehicle's radio.
