I've not looked at the histories lately, but Zeppelin was a retired army general who did not get along with The Establishment. He was not a Prussian and therefore felt (perhaps justifiably) that his career was stunted due to parochialism. Anyway, he became more influential in naval circles than the Old Boy Network in his own service.
