Zentmeister

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!

Re: Blood and Iron

Bruno stood in the Kaiser's palace, gazing upon the German Emperor with a stern expression on his face. The man seemed quite pleased to see Bruno there, thus alleviating any fears Bruno may have had towards a potential demerit.

As Bruno expected, Kaiser Wilhelm II was quick to salute him, as he himself was dressed in a military uniform, albeit a heavily embellished one. Which Bruno was quick to respond to in kind. Before the man approached him with a small wooden case that contained his new collar tabs and shoulder tabs.

"Generalmajor Bruno von Zehntner, for your exemplary performance acting as a military advisor to the Empire of Japan on behalf of Kaiser and fatherland, I Kaiser Wilhelm II of the house von Hohenzollern hereby reward you for your gallantry with a promotion to the rank of Generalleutnant! I know I myself, and many others within the Army's High Command look forward to your future in the military!"
