The King of Hungary stood in his war room. Gone were the generals, and maps of battle lines representing future goals of conquest.
Instead, he was surrounded by architects, engineers, city planners, and a wide variety of other experts in building infrastructure, rather than siege fortifications.
The map in front of him showed the current developments of the neighboring German Reich, from the southernmost reaches of Alemannia and Illyria to the northernmost region of Schleswig-Holstein.
The German Reich had built an interconnected empire where the trains ran perfectly on time.
Naturally, he had been among those invited to the conference in Hanseong, and there he had agreed, like the others, to the grand ambitions of Bruno to connect all of Europe through infrastructure and transportation.
