Tsar Nicholas II took Bruno into his war room, where the German General was surprised to find that they were all alone. Afterward the Tsar shut the door behind him, and closed the blinds, before turning on the lights, where he revealed after pulling off a large blanket a miniature map of Western Russia, whose borders at this point in time were shared with that of the German Reich, as well as that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
On the map were little figures that were incredibly detailed, which represented the plans the Tsar had for the modernization of his forces. There were also figures based upon the changes the Germans and Austro-Hungarians had made thus far to their armed forces, or at least insofar as the Tsar was aware of.
