Chapter 293: Properly Rewarded After Far Too Long



There were a series of awards Bruno was to be given for his performance in the Great War. Like any Field Marshal of the era, it was not uncommon for the man to be granted decorations from allied nations.

But the Kaiser was adamant to be the first one to award his greatest general, and give Bruno what he felt the man had been owed for far, far too long. Because of this, it was a day of celebration for the German Reich and its allies.

Not just because of Bruno's victories, but rather because of the scale of them. Whether it be the Boxer Rebellion, the Russo-Japanese War, or the Russian Civil War. All paled in scope when compared to the ongoing Great War, which involved nearly every continent of the planet in some capacity or another.

It had not been since Napoleon that a war of such magnitude had been waged. And yet, nobody could deny that the victory in the Balkans, and the lands east of it had been accomplished by a single man.

Bruno had not only led the charge in the Theater against Serbia, Albania, Bulgarian and the Ottoman Empire, but his defensive strategy which replaced the poorly thought out Schlieffen plan of his past life had proven to be a winning formula.
