While Bruno had petitioned the Kaiser for formal retirement. The reality was that he did not retire immediately after returning home.
He was needed after all for the great victory parade that the Kaiser had planned for the entirety of the Reich, and the world beyond to witness.
But such preparations took time, time to plan, time to organize, and more importantly time for logistics to be set up.
While Bruno was a master of logistics, he was retired in everything but name. And Heinrich who had followed in Bruno's footsteps his entire life was on a similar career path.
If anything, the Victory parade and its completion would be the first major test of the Reichsheer and how it would function after Bruno had left it behind.
But none of that bothered Bruno; he was certain he had left Germany's military in a place that would secure its future as the dominant world power and global hegemon for the next century.
