Bab 195: A Grim Reminder of the Cost of War

Bruno came out a fortnight after his father's retirement on a public radio broadcast, speaking about his father's achievements, both on the battlefield and within the field of politics, throughout his lifelong career of service to the German Reich and the Kingdom of Prussia. 

The radio broadcast went on for some time, and it was only thanks to the substantial investment in both German infrastructure, as well as scientific talent, that such things were able to occur across the country so early in the 20th century. 

But eventually, the subject came to the recent retirement of Bruno's father, as well as the award he had been granted personally by the Kaiser for his decades of service to the German Reich. 

However, there was a third question mixed in, one which Bruno suspected was arranged by the Kaiser for Bruno to advocate for Ludwig to fulfill the role, a man who had yet to be even considered a candidate for the newly vacant position.
