Tyranny of Steel

While Berengar and his army may be at war. The scientists and engineers of the Reich were hard at work within the safety of the fatherland. Their job was to research new technologies, and develop new methods to not only wage war but also to advance their civilization. Within the research and development department of the Kufstein Royal Armory sat a young scientist who specialized in researching radiocommunications.

For some time now this young man who went by the name of Reichart Banwartz had been working with his department to improve upon the radiotelegraph that Berengar had invented which was currently employed by the German Government, and was the primary means of communication within the borders of the Reich.

While the Radiotelegraph was a useful invention, and helped relay information across the vast territory of the Empire, it had several disadvantages, among them was the length of time it took to convey information.

Recently Reichart helped develop the portable radio-telegraph which was used in limited capacity among Jaegers and Jagdkommandos. However, this method of communication between units embedded in the field and the Command HQs had proven troublesome.

The lack of instant communication between Jaegers and HQ was becoming a problem in the field. Specifically regarding artillery strikes and relaying intelligence. It took some time to type out the information necessary to report an enemy ’s position. Because of this artillery was not as effective as it could be.

Reichart sought to remedy this by devising a way to use verbal communication across radio waves. He had been hard at work on this project along with his friend and fellow researcher in his spare time, and together the two scientists made use of different technologies that were still being researched by other departments. However, after concluding his research into the portable radiotelegraph, Reichart was now working full time on this project.

Today, the young scientist would finally have a breakthrough in his efforts. In order to create the two-way radio, Reichart had first needed to make use of telephones. Luckily for him, such technology was already being researched and developed by another department. At least in the form of wired communications.
