SIGN    Legend of the Galactic Heroes [02:34] Na     In the year SE 796, [02:37] Na     there were three opposing     powers in the Milky Way.

SIGN    Dominion of Fezzan [02:59] Na     The Empire and the Alliance were     embroiled in a seemingly endless war, [03:03] Na     and the Dominion of Fezzan upheld its     neutrality as a mere formality. [03:07] Na     The three powers were     indisputably deadlocked. SIGN    Dominion of Fezzan SIGN    Free Planets Alliance SIGN    Galactic Empire [03:23] Kircheis     Doing some stargazing, Your Excellency? [03:30] Reinhard     Yes. Stars are great. [03:36] Reinhard     You've grown a bit taller, haven't you? [03:39] Kircheis     I'm 190 centimeters, the same as     two months ago, Your Excellency. [03:43] Kircheis     I don't think I'll grow any taller. [03:46] Reinhard     I suppose seven centimeters     taller than me is tall enough. [03:51] Reinhard     Anyway, was there something you needed? [03:54] Kircheis     Yes, it concerns the rebel     force's formation. [04:01] Kircheis     According to reports from     three of our patrol crafts, [04:04] Kircheis     they appear to be approaching from     three directions, as we expected. [04:08] Kircheis     The enemy's 4th Fleet is     directly in front of us, [04:12] Kircheis     with an estimated 12,000 ships. [04:16] Kircheis     Distance is approximately     2,200 light-seconds. [04:19] Kircheis     At our current speed, we should make     contact in roughly six hours. [04:23] Reinhard     Their navy has a total of 40,000 ships... [04:26] Reinhard     That's twice what we have. [04:29] Kircheis     And they're attempting to     surround us on three sides. [04:34] Reinhard     Our doddering old admirals     must be turning blue now... [04:37] Reinhard     No, perhaps red. SIGN    Episode 1 SIGN    In the Eternal Night SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy Expeditionary Fleet Supreme Flagship     Brünhild SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy High Admiral     Reinhard von Lohengramm SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy Captain     Siegfried Kircheis [05:18] Merkatz     Your Excellency, we thank you for this     opportunity to voice our opinions. [05:22] Reinhard     I know what you want to say. [05:25] Reinhard     You want to warn me that our navy     is at a disadvantage, correct? [05:30] Staden     That is correct, Your Excellency. [05:32] Staden     The enemy force doubles ours in number, [05:34] Staden     and they're trying to surround     us on three sides. [05:37] Staden     This means the enemy already     has the edge over us. [05:41] Reinhard     In other words, you're saying we will lose? SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy     Vice Admiral Staden [05:44] Staden     I am not, Your Excellency. [05:46] Staden     But it is a fact that we     are at a disadvantage. [05:50] Staden     Please have a look at this. [05:54] Staden     Our situation resembles     the time many years ago [05:57] Staden     when our proud Imperial Fleet suffered     a bitter defeat at the hands [06:01] Staden     of the rebel force that called     itself the Free Planets Alliance. [06:05] Reinhard     The slaughter at Dagon, yes. [06:07] Staden     Correct. It was truly a regrettable loss. [06:11] Staden     Should we repeat the same     mistake in this battle, [06:16] Staden     it would most certainly trouble     His Imperial Majesty the Kaiser. [06:20] Staden     As such, it is my humble opinion that, [06:22] Staden     rather than act in haste, it would be     wise to make an honorable retreat. [06:27] Reinhard     You speak with eloquence, [06:29] Reinhard     but I cannot agree with your view. [06:33] Reinhard     Retreat is unthinkable. [06:36] Staden     But why? Please explain your reasoning. [06:41] Reinhard     Because we have an overwhelming     advantage over the enemy. [06:46] Staden     What?! [06:47] Fogal     That's... [06:52] Reinhard     The advantage I speak of lies     in the following points. [06:58] Reinhard     The enemy is divided into three forces, [07:00] Reinhard     but our navy is concentrated     in one location. [07:03] Reinhard     The enemy's total numbers may exceed ours, [07:05] Reinhard     but our navy outnumbers each of the     three forces they've divided into. [07:10] Reinhard     If these are not conditions for     victory, what else are they? [07:15] Reinhard     We are not in danger of being surrounded. [07:17] Reinhard     We are in the ideal position to defeat     the enemy's forces one by one. [07:21] Reinhard     You spoke of an honorable retreat, [07:23] Reinhard     but where is the honor in retreating     without fulfilling the kaiser's orders? [07:29] Staden     But that is merely     Your Excellency's personal belief. [07:32] Staden     It does not align with common     tactical knowledge! [07:35] Staden     If you cannot point to an     instance of success... [07:39] Reinhard     By tomorrow, you will witness an instance     of success with your own eyes. [07:44] Reinhard     Will that convince you? [07:46] Staden     But is victory truly— [07:47] Reinhard     It is possible. [07:49] Reinhard     But only if all of you act in     perfect accordance with my plan. [08:00] Staden     Impertinent brat! [08:02] Erlache     His sister's relationship with     the kaiser has made him cocky. [08:06] Fogal     Such a reckless strategy     couldn't possibly work! [08:11] Fahrenheit     Are you sure about that? SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy Rear Admiral     Adalbert von Fahrenheit [08:13] Fahrenheit     He is quite a clever man, and I     thought it was quite a clever idea. SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy     Rear Admiral Erlache SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy     Vice Admiral Fogal [08:18] Staden     Don't tell me you've been charmed     by that upstart's indiscretion! [08:21] Merkatz     Fahrenheit, you are still young yourself. SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy Admiral     Willibald Joachim von Merkatz [08:25] Fahrenheit     I beg your pardon. [08:29] Kircheis     Was that really wise? [08:31] Reinhard     Leave them. What can they do? [08:35] Reinhard     Don't worry about it. [08:38] Reinhard     They may complain now, [08:41] Reinhard     but in a day, their attitudes will change. [08:43] Reinhard     I'll give that incompetent Staden     the "instance of success" he wants. [08:47] Reinhard     I'll even frame it for him. [08:52] Reinhard     Care for a drink, Kircheis?     I have some good wine. [08:56] Reinhard     It's a rare bottle, aged 410 years! [08:59] Kircheis     I'd love to. [09:00] Reinhard     Let's go, then. [09:04] Reinhard     By the way, Kircheis... [09:06] Kircheis     Yes, Your Excellency? [09:08] Reinhard     That's exactly it. [09:09] Reinhard     You don't need to call me     "Your Excellency" when no one is around. [09:13] Reinhard     How many times have I told you? [09:16] Kircheis     I know that, but still... [09:18] Reinhard     If you know, then do it. [09:21] Reinhard     Once this battle is over     and we return to Odin, [09:24] Reinhard     you'll be called     "Your Excellency" yourself. [09:28] Reinhard     You're being promoted to commodore. [09:31] Reinhard     Look forward to it. [09:35] Kircheis     I am honored. SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Navy 4th Fleet Flagship     Leonidas [09:52] Pastolle     How credible is that report     from the patrol craft? [09:55] Voice     Level A. Possibility of fraud is zero! [09:58] Pastolle     What is the Imperial Navy trying to do? [10:01] Pastolle     What are they thinking? [10:03] Pastolle     They know we have them surrounded on     three sides, but rather than retreat, [10:07] Pastolle     they're actually making     a move to approach us? [10:11] Pastolle     Their commander has no     knowledge of tactics! SIGN    4th Fleet Commander     Vice Admiral Pastolle [10:14] Pastolle     Who would fight a battle like this? [10:17] Reinhard     An incomplete encirclement is no     more than a division of troops. [10:21] Reinhard     That's why it's a perfect chance     to take them out individually. [10:25] Reinhard     Have we jammed the enemy's data link? [10:29] Kircheis     Yes. [10:30] Kircheis     They weren't expecting us     to make the first move, [10:34] Kircheis     so it should prove very effective. [10:39] Reinhard     I can just see them running     around in panic now. [10:44] Reinhard     Kircheis, we will win this war. [10:47] Reinhard     I can see our victory. [10:50] Reinhard     That's all there is to it. [10:52] Guy     Your Excellency, what shall we do? [10:55] Pastolle     Send an urgent message to the     2nd and 6th Fleet commanders! [10:58] Pastolle     Tell them the enemy has engaged     us, and we need backup! [11:02] Guy     There's no answer! [11:03] Guy     The enemy's jammed our communications!     I can't make a connection! [11:08] Pastolle     Dispatch liaison crafts to     the 2nd and 6th Fleets! [11:15] Kircheis     We're within optical targeting range. [11:25] Reinhard     Feuer! [11:35] Guy     Optical signals confirm enemy fire! [11:38] Pastolle     All ships, full shields! [11:40] Guy     The enemy jam has severed our data link! [11:44] Guy     Shields incomplete! [11:55] Reinhard     Slow to react... [11:58] Reinhard     I guess there are incompetents everywhere. [12:00] Guy     Enemy fire is concentrated on     the center of our front line! [12:03] Guy     Damages are severe! [12:04] Pastolle     Data link off! All ships switch to manual! [12:07] Pastolle     Left-flanked 5th Fleet, right-flanked     7th Fleet, defend our center! [12:11] Pastolle     We'll move forward in the meantime! SIGN    Fahrenheit Fleet Flagship     Heimdall [12:19] Guy     Cruising range for carrier-based     fighter craft achieved. [12:22] Fahrenheit     Trailing aircraft carriers are ordered [12:24] Fahrenheit     to launch the Walküre squadron! [12:32] Guy     Enemy carrier-based crafts approaching! [12:33] Guy     Ready anti-aircraft weaponry! [12:49] Guy     Continue the attack! [13:01] Staden     This is merely a fluke. [13:07] Guy     Transmission from the flagship Brünhild. [13:12] Fahrenheit     The enemy fleet has lost its capacity     for organized resistance. [13:16] Reinhard     Good work. [13:18] Reinhard     Isn't there something you'd like to say? [13:20] Fahrenheit     I don't believe so. [13:22] Reinhard     You're so much more tight-lipped     than the other admirals. [13:25] Reinhard     There's no need for self-restraint. [13:26] Fahrenheit     Regardless of how anyone     behaves, a win is a win. [13:29] Fahrenheit     I am aware that the victor is always right. [13:33] Reinhard     I see. [13:47] Merkatz     Organized resistance has ceased. [13:49] Merkatz     We're ready to begin combat     with the survivors. [13:53] Reinhard     There's no need. [13:54] Merkatz     What? [13:55] Reinhard     We've only finished one     third of the battle. [13:58] Reinhard     Leave any surviving forces where they are. [14:01] Reinhard     We need to save our strength     for the next battle. [14:05] Reinhard     Orders to follow. [14:06] Merkatz     Understood, Your Excellency. [14:11] Reinhard     His attitude has changed a bit. [14:15] Kircheis     Yes, I suppose it would have to. [14:19] Reinhard     By the way, do you think we should strike     the left or the right fleet next, Kircheis? [14:26] Kircheis     It would be possible to get around     to the rear flank of either. [14:29] Kircheis     I believe you have made     up your mind, however. [14:31] Reinhard     True enough. [14:34] Kircheis     The one to the right, the 6th Fleet,     has smaller numbers. [14:39] Reinhard     Precisely. [14:41] Kircheis     The enemy may have foreseen our plan. [14:43] Kircheis     That is the one thing I     find slightly concerning. [14:46] Reinhard     No chance of that. [14:47] Reinhard     If they knew, surely they wouldn't     continue to divide their offensive. [14:52] Reinhard     If their two fleets merged     as quickly as possible, [14:54] Reinhard     they would have a vast advantage over us. [14:59] Reinhard     It proves they haven't yet     figured out our intentions. [15:03] Reinhard     We'll go around to the right rear flank     of the 6th Fleet and attack. [15:07] Reinhard     How long will it take? [15:09] Kircheis     No more than four hours. [15:11] Reinhard     You already had it all     worked out, didn't you? [15:19] Reinhard     Order all fleets to attack the enemy's     6th Fleet from the right rear flank. [15:25] Kircheis     Understood. [15:37] Moore     From four-thirty? SIGN    6th Fleet Flagship     Pergamon - Officers' Dining Hall [15:40] Lapp     Yes, sir. [15:40] Moore     I see. And which four-thirty?     Morning or afternoon? SIGN    6th Fleet Commander     Vice Admiral Moore SIGN    6th Fleet Staff Officer     Lieutenant Commander Jean Robert Lapp [15:46] Lapp     It is undoubtedly the enemy, sir. [15:50] Moore     It can't be. The enemy is fighting     the 4th Fleet right now. [15:55] Moore     We're rushing to the battle as we speak. [15:58] Moore     There's no doubt the 2nd Fleet     is doing the same thing. [16:02] Moore     Then we can attack the     enemy from both sides. [16:05] Moore     We have every opportunity to win. [16:07] Moore     No, we will win. [16:10] Moore     The situation makes that clear. [16:11] Lapp     But, Your Excellency, couldn't the     enemy have moved the battlefield? [16:15] Moore     And left the 4th Fleet? [16:18] Lapp     It pains me to say this, [16:20] Lapp     but I believe the 4th Fleet     has already been defeated. [16:24] Moore     That's a very bold, very unpleasant     guess, Lieutenant Commander Lapp. [16:28] Lapp     We must rendezvous with the     2nd Fleet, and then— SIGN    6th Fleet Flagship     Pergamon [16:53] Guy     Enemy attack from the right rear flank! [16:54] Moore     Switch to manual operation! [16:56] Moore     All ships, turn around! [16:58] Lapp     Your Excellency, turning around     will only create chaos! [17:03] Lapp     I believe we should move ahead at     full speed in a clockwise direction [17:07] Lapp     so that we can come around     behind the enemy. [17:11] Moore     Most of our men will have     been taken out by then! [17:14] Moore     We will turn around and strike! [17:15] Lapp     But— [17:16] Moore     Shut up! SIGN    Merkatz Fleet Flagship     Minerva [17:33] Merkatz     Looks like that youngster didn't     just get lucky after all. [17:38] Merkatz     "Old soldiers just fade away," then? [17:50] Guy     Surveillance system showing damage! [17:52] Guy     Unable to restore monitors! [17:57] Reinhard     Halt the jamming and send them a message. [18:00] Guy     Transmission from the enemy flagship! [18:02] Guy     "Surrender. You will be shown mercy." [18:08] Moore     Release the bridge from its armor. [18:11] Moore     I want to see them with my     own eyes and fight back. [18:13] Lapp     But— [18:13] Moore     Surrender, you say? [18:16] Moore     No, I may be incompetent,     but I will not be a coward. [18:28] Guy     No response. [18:31] Reinhard     Sink them. [18:34] Moore     Shields at maximum output! Return fire! [18:37] Guy     The enemy has fired     armor-piercing ammunition! [18:54] Reinhard     Those without skill are destined to fall. [18:57] Reinhard     This is a given. [19:00] Fahrenheit     Report from our patrol craft. [19:02] Fahrenheit     The enemy's 2nd Fleet has left the     battle sector to aid the 4th Fleet. [19:08] Fahrenheit     We would like to continue our     advance and attack the 2nd Fleet. [19:13] Reinhard     Very well. [19:14] Reinhard     All fleets will proceed to annihilate     the enemy's 2nd Fleet. [19:25] Guy     The 2nd Fleet is directly ahead of us! [19:29] Reinhard     Feuer. [19:30] Fahrenheit     Feuer. [19:31] Merkatz     Feuer. [19:56] Guy     The enemy craft is hit! [20:00] Kircheis     I do hope we will be able     to annihilate them all. [20:03] Reinhard     You really are a worrywart, aren't you? [20:06] Reinhard     Do you have such difficulty trusting me? [20:09] Kircheis     I have never once doubted you. [20:12] Kircheis     It's just that, at times, I am afraid. [20:16] Kircheis     What if the enemy has someone extraordinary     on their side, like we have you? [20:21] Reinhard     You think of the strangest     things, Kircheis. [20:25] Reinhard     If someone like that were to appear, [20:29] Reinhard     I would love to fight them once. [20:31] Reinhard     And if possible, I'd like     to see them face-to-face. [20:35] Reinhard     I'm sure we'd have much to talk about. [20:38] Guy     Analyzing enemy transmission. [20:39] Guy     I believe it to be directed to all fleets. [20:43] Reinhard     Play it. [20:44] Yang     I am Commodore Yang Wen-li, deputy     staff officer to Commander Paetta. [20:50] Yang     Our flagship Patroklos has been hit, [20:52] Yang     and Commander Paetta is gravely injured. [20:55] Yang     Per the commander's orders, I will     take over command of all fleets. [21:00] Yang     Do not worry. Obey my orders,     and you will be saved. [21:05] Yang     Those who wish to survive,     remain calm and follow my directions. [21:10] Yang     Our squadron is losing the     battle at the moment, [21:13] Yang     but all that matters is that we win in the end. [21:16] Yang     We will not lose. [21:18] Yang     All ships, focus on destroying individual     crafts until I give further orders. [21:23] Yang     That is all. [21:26] Reinhard     "We will not lose"... [21:29] Reinhard     "Obey my orders, and you     will be saved," eh? [21:33] Reinhard     I never knew the rebel forces had     such a braggart among their ranks. [21:38] Reinhard     How does he intend to turn his     disadvantage around at this stage? [21:43] Reinhard     Well, no matter. [21:45] Reinhard     Let's see what he's got, Kircheis. [21:49] Kircheis     Yes. [21:51] Reinhard     Reorganize the battle lines. [21:52] Reinhard     Instruct all fleets to move     into a spindle formation. [21:56] Reinhard     Do you understand why? [21:58] Kircheis     You intend to break through their center. [22:01] Reinhard     That's right. I knew you'd get it. [22:31] Guy     Compiling data from patrol crafts. [22:33] Guy     Operating in real time. [22:36] Reinhard     It appears we've won. [22:38] Kircheis     Yes. [22:46] Kircheis     Is something the matter? [22:50] Mircheis     Reinhard? [22:52] Reinhard     It's strange. Something isn't right. [22:55] Reinhard     We're winning. There's no doubt about that. [23:00] Reinhard     But... [23:07] Reinhard     No!

SIGN    Meanwhile     Free Planets Alliance Navy 4th Fleet [05:48] Yang     So they're not making the same mistake     they made in the Slaughter at Dagon. [05:59] Paetta     Commodore Yang! [06:02] Yang     Yes, sir? [06:03] Paetta     How do you view our situation?     Tell me what you think. [06:08] Yang     The enemy must be planning to take     out our fleets individually. [06:12] Yang     The obvious choice would be to target the     4th Fleet first, as it's the smallest. [06:17] Yang     They've exercised their right to choose     which of our scattered forces to confront. [06:23] Paetta     Do you think the 4th Fleet can hold out? [06:27] Yang     The side that has the greater numbers and     makes the first move has the advantage. [06:32] Paetta     In any case, we need to rush to the     battlefield and aid the 4th Fleet. [06:36] Paetta     If we're lucky, it's possible we could     strike the Imperial Navy's rear flank. [06:40] Paetta     That will give us an instant advantage. [06:43] Yang     I don't believe that's possible. [06:45] Paetta     What do you mean? [06:47] Yang     The battle will have ended     by the time we get there. [06:51] Yang     The enemy will leave to strike the rear     flank of either the 2nd or the 6th Fleet. [06:59] Yang     We've lost the initiative. [07:01] Yang     In fact, they've taken it     from us at every turn. [07:03] Yang     It's my opinion that there is no need     for us to play into the enemy's hands. [07:07] Paetta     What do you suggest we do, then?! [07:10] Yang     Change our procedure. [07:12] Yang     Instead of departing to aid the 4th Fleet, [07:15] Yang     we merge with the 6th Fleet     as soon as possible [07:18] Yang     and create a new battlefield     in that sector. [07:21] Yang     The two fleets combined     would total 28,000 ships, [07:24] Yang     so we would face the enemy with higher     than fifty-fifty odds of victory. [07:28] Paetta     You're suggesting we leave     the 4th Fleet to die? [07:32] Yang     If we left now, we still     wouldn't reach them in time. [07:35] Paetta     You can't be certain of that! [07:37] Paetta     The 4th Fleet won't be so easily defeated. [07:41] Paetta     If they can hold out... [07:44] Yang     I've already advised you     that it's impossible. [07:47] Paetta     Commodore Yang, reality doesn't     rely solely on your calculations! [07:52] Paetta     The one leading their expeditionary     force is Count Lohengramm. [07:56] Paetta     He is young and inexperienced. [07:58] Yang     Commander, sir, you say     he is inexperienced, [08:01] Yang     but his strategic ideas are— [08:03] Paetta     Enough, Commodore! [08:05] Paetta     Vice Admiral Pastolle is a veteran. [08:07] Paetta     He will not go down easily! [08:25] Yang     Jean, we were ordered to     halt communications. [08:28] Lapp     The enemy isn't in the area where     we expected to find them. [08:31] Yang     I know. [08:32] Lapp     No hope for the 4th Fleet, then? [08:34] Yang     Most likely not. [08:36] Yang     The enemy will probably go     after the 6th Fleet next. [08:39] Lapp     If so, they'll increase the interference     on our communications. [08:43] Lapp     That means this is the last time I contact you. [08:46] Lapp     Let's both do everything we can. [08:48] Lapp     I'll advise Vice Admiral Moore to     rendezvous with the 2nd Fleet. [08:52] Yang     I'll try advising Vice Admiral     Paetta again, as well, but... [08:56] Lapp     Yang, if anything happens to     me, take care of Jessica. [08:59] Yang     Don't start talking like that. [09:02] Lapp     And you call yourself a military man? [09:04] Yang     It's why I don't really fit     in with the military. [09:08] Yang     Stay alive and go home to Jessica. [09:10] Yang     I don't want to hear dying     requests from you. [09:12] Lapp     All right, Yang. [09:15] Lapp     I wish you luck. [09:19] Guy     Signal lost. [09:20] Yang     Don't die, Jean. SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Navy 6th Fleet [09:23] Guy     Enemy attack from the right rear flank! [09:25] Guy     The enemy jam has severed our data link! [09:28] Guy     Shields incomplete!

[09:53] Lapp     Jessica... [09:58] Yang     Your Excellency. [10:00] Yang     You can see the situation we're in. [10:03] Yang     The enemy is certain to target     our own 2nd Fleet next. [10:08] Paetta     Commodore Yang, do you have any     ideas that aren't passive? [10:12] Yang     I haven't given any advice     that was not proactive.

[11:05] Yang     Commander Paetta is wounded. [11:08] Yang     Ready the sick bay immediately. [11:11] Yang     Are any officers still alive in here? [11:14] Yang     I'm all right. [11:15] Yang     Lieutenant Commander Lao. [11:17] Lao     I told you... I have the luck of the devil. [11:24] Paetta     Commodore Yang, take command of the fleet. [11:28] Yang     Me, sir? [11:30] Paetta     It seems you are the highest ranked     among the surviving officers. [11:34] Paetta     We need your skills as a tactician... [11:38] Lao     I guess he really respected you, deep down. [11:41] Yang     You think so? [11:46] Yang     Message to all fleets.

[11:53] Yang     Our flagship, Patroklos, has been hit, [11:55] Yang     and Commander Paetta is gravely injured. [11:58] Yang     Per the commander's orders, I will     take over command of all fleets. [12:05] Yang     Do not worry. Obey my orders,     and you will be saved. [12:09] Yang     Those who wish to survive,     remain calm and follow my directions. [12:14] Yang     Our force is losing the     battle at the moment, [12:17] Yang     but all that matters is     that we win in the end. [12:21] Yang     We will not lose. [12:30] Yang     All ships, focus on destroying individual     crafts until I give further orders. [12:45] Reinhard     "We will not lose"... [12:46] Reinhard     "Obey my orders, and you     will be saved," eh? [12:51] Reinhard     I never knew the rebel forces had     such a braggart among their ranks. [12:56] Reinhard     How does he intend to turn his     disadvantage around at this stage? [13:02] Reinhard     Well, no matter. [13:04] Reinhard     Let's see what he's got, Kircheis. [13:06] Kircheis     Yes. [13:33] Lao     The enemy is reforming into     a spindle formation. [13:37] Yang     They must be planning to     break through our center. [13:40] Lao     What will we do? [13:42] Yang     I have a plan in mind. [13:44] Lao     But how will you give the order? [13:47] Lao     The enemy is still jamming     our communications. [13:51] Lao     The data link isn't restored yet, either. [13:54] Lao     How can we... [13:55] Yang     Don't worry. [13:57] Yang     Broadcast a compressed data transmission     across all frequency ranges. [14:00] Yang     Tell each ship to open code C-4 on their tactical intel system. [14:04] Yang     Even if the enemy's monitoring us,     they can't figure anything out [14:08] Yang     if that's all we say. [14:15] Lao     Even then, he already... [14:17] Yang     I had hoped this wouldn't     be necessary, but alas...

[14:44] Fisher     It's a strategic plan for countering     a breakthrough to our center. [14:48] Fisher     Commodore Yang Wen-li     prepared this in advance? SIGN    2nd Fleet Squadron Commander     Commodore Edwin Fischer [14:54] Fisher     In accordance with the     Code C-4 strategic plan, [14:57] Fisher     we will henceforth move as a united fleet. [14:59] Fisher     Don't rely on the data link. [15:01] Fisher     All ships, commence retreat independently. [15:04] Guy     Commencing retreat. [15:15] Lao     It's working out so far. [15:16] Lao     The rest depends on whether our     men act as we need them to. [15:20] Yang     Yes, one misstep and we'll lose all control. [15:25] Lao     What will you do if that happens? [15:29] Yang     Pretend I was clueless. [15:40] Kircheis     Is something the matter? [15:47] Kircheis     Reinhard? [15:48] Reinhard     It's strange. Something isn't right. [15:51] Reinhard     We're winning. There's no doubt about that. [15:55] Reinhard     But... [16:02] Reinhard     No! [16:21] Guy     The enemy has split up and is advancing on     us at high speed from both sides! [16:26] Reinhard     They got us. [16:28] Reinhard     They made it look like     they'd been broken up, [16:30] Reinhard     then split into two forces     to come around behind us. [16:39] Reinhard     Our strategy to break through     their center backfired! [16:47] Staden     What?! [16:52] Kircheis     What will you do?     Reverse course and intercept them? [16:55] Reinhard     Don't make jokes.     Are you telling me to be incompetent? [16:59] Reinhard     More incompetent than the     enemy's 4th Fleet commander? [17:01] Kircheis     In that case, our only option     is to move forward. [17:04] Reinhard     Precisely. [17:07] Reinhard     All fleets, full speed ahead! [17:09] Reinhard     Come right up their tails     as they turn back on us! [17:44] Lao     I've never seen a formation     like this before. [17:46] Yang     I'd imagine not. I haven't, either. [17:50] Yang     No, this isn't the first time I've seen it. [17:53] Yang     This has happened in battlefields     everywhere since the dawn of time. [17:59] Reinhard     What a stupid-looking formation! [18:01] Reinhard     This is going to turn into     a battle of attrition! [18:23] Yang     The enemy should begin to pull back soon. [18:26] Lao     Then are we going to pursue them? [18:30] Yang     Let's not. [18:32] Yang     We'll retreat when they do. [18:36] Yang     We're already doing all we're capable of. [18:39] Reinhard     Kircheis, what do you think? [18:42] Kircheis     I think perhaps it's time to end this. [18:45] Kircheis     Continuing this battle will only produce     more casualties on both sides. [18:49] Kircheis     There is no strategic purpose to this. [18:53] Kircheis     Does that frustrate you? [18:55] Reinhard     Not especially, but I would     have liked more of a win. [19:00] Reinhard     It's too bad we couldn't apply     the finishing touches. [19:04] Kircheis     Despite being surrounded by     the enemy on three sides, [19:07] Kircheis     you eliminated two of their fleets with     a strategy to strike them individually. [19:11] Kircheis     Then, with the last of the enemy reversing     course to come up behind you, [19:13] Kircheis     you fought on even footing. [19:15] Kircheis     Is that not good enough? [19:18] Kircheis     To hope for any more than that     would be a bit too greedy. [19:24] Reinhard     I know that. [19:38] Reinhard     The commander of their 2nd Fleet... [19:42] Reinhard     The man who assumed     command during the battle... [19:44] Reinhard     What was his name again? [19:46] Kircheis     Commodore Yang Wen-li. [19:48] Reinhard     Right, Yang. [19:50] Reinhard     He just might be the kind of     person you spoke of earlier. [20:00] Reinhard     Send a message to Commodore     Yang Wen-li in my name. [20:05] Kircheis     Certainly. [20:07] Reinhard     Now I have something new     to look forward to. [20:24] Lao     Acting Commander Yang, there's a message     for you from the Imperial Navy. [20:27] Yang     For me? Read it. [20:31] Lao     "I offer my respect for     your bravery in battle. [20:33] Lao     I pray for your good health     until we do battle again. [20:36] Lao     Galactic Imperial Navy High Admiral     Reinhard von Lohengramm." [20:41] Lao     That's all. [20:42] Yang     Respect for my bravery in battle, eh? [20:45] Yang     How humbling. [20:47] Lao     What shall we do? Will you respond? [20:50] Yang     I doubt he expects that of me. [20:55] Yang     No matter. Just leave it be. [20:57] Yang     More importantly, we must quickly     retrieve any survivors. [21:01] Yang     I want to save as many as we can. [21:04] Lao     Understood.

[10:55] (Flashback) Kid     Man, there's nothing likable     about that noble kid at all. [10:58] (Flashback) Kid     You're sure you called him out here? [11:01] (Flashback) Kid     He should show up soon. [11:02] (Flashback) Kid     Let's bust him up nice and quick. [11:06] (Flashback) Kircheis     Have you seen Reinhard? [11:08] (Flashback) Kid     Some of the older kids     asked for him earlier. [11:16] (Flashback) Kircheis     Reinhard?! [11:31] (Flashback) Reinhard     Bet that taught them a lesson. [11:35] (Flashback) Reinhard     This isn't good, though. [11:37] (Flashback) Reinhard     If my sister finds out, it'll make her sad. [11:43] (Flashback) Kircheis     I have a good idea. [11:49] (Flashback) Annerose     How's that? [11:50] (Flashback) Reinhard     Sis! [11:51] (Flashback) Annerose     Have you warmed up a bit? [11:53] (Flashback) Both     Yes. [11:54] (Flashback) Annerose     I can't believe you fell in a fountain. [11:56] (Flashback) Annerose     I guess you have a little too much energy. [12:03] (Flashback) Annerose     What? [12:05] (Flashback) Annerose     You boys are so strange. [12:08] (Flashback) Annerose     I made a Kelsey plum cake.     Get dressed and help yourselves. [12:19] (Flashback) Annerose     Hey, I told you two to get dressed first. [12:22] (Flashback) Both     Let's eat! [12:28] (Flashback) Reinhard     By the way, Kircheis, [12:30] (Flashback) Reinhard     my sister said she's baking     another Kelsey plum cake today. [12:34] (Flashback) Kircheis     Really? I love those! [12:41] (Flashback) Kircheis     That crest... [12:43] (Flashback) Kircheis     Why are they at your house? [12:46] (Flashback) Kircheis     Reinhard? [12:49] (Flashback) Reinhard     What did you do with Sis?! [12:51] (Flashback) Dad     We had no choice. [12:54] (Flashback) Dad     His Highness wanted her. [12:57] (Flashback) Dad     But this is an honor. [12:59] (Flashback) Reinhard     You sold her to the kaiser! [13:01] (Flashback) Reinhard     You sold my sister! [13:03] (Flashback) Dad     Reinhard, that's enough! [13:09] (Flashback) Dad     The decision has been made. [13:17] (Flashback) Annerose     It's all right. It's all right, Reinhard. [13:23] (Flashback) Annerose     This is right. [13:47] (Flashback) Annerose     Sieg... [13:51] (Flashback) Annerose     I didn't know you very long, but thank you.

[15:22] (Flashback) Reinhard     Kircheis. [15:26] (Flashback) Kircheis     Reinhard... [15:28] (Flashback) Reinhard     It's been a while. [15:30] (Flashback) Kircheis     Where were you?! [15:33] (Flashback) Kircheis     That uniform... [15:34] (Flashback) Reinhard     I joined a cadet school. [15:36] (Flashback) Kircheis     Cadet school? [15:39] (Flashback) Reinhard     I'll be a soldier. [15:41] (Flashback) Reinhard     I can become a real man faster that way. [15:44] (Flashback) Reinhard     Kircheis, come with me. [15:48] (Flashback) Kircheis     To be a soldier? [15:51] (Flashback) Reinhard     That's right. We'll get     my sister back together. [15:57] (Flashback) Annerose     Take care of Reinhard for me. [16:16] (Flashback) Kid     So that's Countess Grünewald's     younger brother? [16:20] (Flashback) Kid     Did you hear about the     red-headed kid? He's a commoner! [16:23] (Flashback) Kid     What's a commoner doing here? [16:25] (Flashback) Kid     He got in because of the     sister's influence, too. [16:31] (Flashback) Reinhard     Those two are sons of magnates. [16:33] (Flashback) Reinhard     They always have servants around     them to do everything for them. [16:36] (Flashback) Kircheis     Can guys like that really     make it on the battlefield? [16:39] (Flashback) Reinhard     They'll never go. [16:41] (Flashback) Reinhard     Even if they get into the military,     most of them get stuck in the rear services. [16:45] (Flashback) Reinhard     They have no intention of going out     and dying on the front lines. [16:49] (Flashback) Reinhard     That's how imperial nobles are. [16:58] (Flashback) Teacher     Come on! Run! Run! Run! [17:05] (Flashback) Kid     Go, go, go, go! [17:08] (Flashback) Kid     Goal! [17:11] (Flashback) Kid     Your horse is so slow. [17:14] (Flashback) Kid     You can say that again. Pathetic. [17:16] (Flashback) Kid     Come on, get up. [17:17] (Flashback) Kid     You, too. [17:21] (Flashback) Reinhard     Those guys didn't earn their     standing on their own. [17:25] (Flashback) Reinhard     There's no reason we should have     to stand downwind of them. [17:32] (Flashback) Kircheis     Yeah. [17:35] (Flashback) Guy     Representative of graduating students, Reinhard von Müsel. [17:39] (Flashback) Reinhard     Yes, sir!

[18:29] Reinhard     Sister! [18:30] Annerose     I'm glad you came, Reinhard. [18:33] Annerose     You, too, Sieg. [18:34] Kircheis     And I am glad to see you     doing well, Annerose. SIGN    Annerose von Grünewald [18:38] Annerose     Thank you. [18:40] Annerose     I've been waiting for     your arrival for days. [18:44] Annerose     Come, let's go inside. [18:50] Kircheis     She hasn't changed at all since then. [18:55] Kircheis     Not even the kaiser himself... [18:57] Kircheis     can do anything to taint these two. [19:04] Reinhard     Kircheis. [19:05] Annerose     Hurry up, now. [19:07] Kircheis     Of course. [19:11] Annerose     Have some Kelsey plum cake. [19:13] Annerose     I made it myself, so I don't know     if it will suit your tastes. [19:17] Reinhard     I'll just make my tastes suit it. [19:19] Annerose     Goodness, you're so mean. [19:23] Kircheis     It's very good. [19:25] Annerose     I'm glad to hear it. [19:27] Annerose     So, Sieg, I'm sure Reinhard has put you     through all sorts of trouble, right? [19:32] Kircheis     No, not at all. [19:33] Reinhard     Go on, you can be honest. [19:35] Annerose     Don't tease him! [19:38] Annerose     Oh, right. I also have some delicious     vin rosé I received as a gift. [19:43] Reinhard     I get the picture, Sister. [19:46] Reinhard     You want me to go get it, right? [19:49] Annerose     Thank you, Reinhard. [19:57] Annerose     You have done so much for my brother. [20:01] Kircheis     Not at all. He's the one     who has done much for me. [20:05] Kircheis     To be a captain at my age... [20:06] Kircheis     It's more than I deserve. [20:08] Annerose     You'll be a rear admiral     soon, won't you? I heard. [20:12] Annerose     Congratulations. [20:14] Kircheis     Thank you. [20:17] Annerose     My brother doesn't say it out loud,     or maybe he just hasn't noticed, [20:23] Annerose     but he truly relies on you a great deal. [20:25] Kircheis     You flatter me. I am nothing special. [20:29] Annerose     Sieg... [20:30] Annerose     You should really value     yourself a bit more. [20:34] Annerose     My brother has talent, [20:36] Annerose     but he isn't as mature as you. [20:40] Annerose     He's like a wild goat that grows too proud     of its agility and falls from a cliff, [20:45] Annerose     and he is in a place just as perilous. [20:48] Annerose     So please, Sieg, I ask you... [20:52] Annerose     Watch over Reinhard so that he     doesn't slip off of that cliff. [20:57] Annerose     If you see him heading in that     direction, tell him so. [21:00] Annerose     I know he would accept a warning from you. [21:04] Kircheis     I will do everything I can. [21:08] Kircheis     Please have faith in my     loyalty to Reinhard. [21:12] Kircheis     I swear that I will not disappoint you. [21:18] Annerose     Thank you, Sieg. [21:22] Kircheis     Annerose... [21:25] Reinhard     You should have put it     someplace easier to find. [21:29] Annerose     Sorry to put you through that,     but it will be worth the effort. [21:33] Annerose     I'll bring the glasses. [21:42] Kircheis     So this is where you went. [21:46] Reinhard     I've come this far from that night. [21:50] (Flashback) Reinhard     Kircheis, have you ever     thought of it this way? [21:55] (Flashback) Reinhard     The Goldenbaum Dynasty hasn't existed     since the dawn of humanity. [22:00] (Flashback) Reinhard     It began with this arrogant     bastard, Rudolf. [22:04] (Flashback) Reinhard     Rudolf started out as no more     than an ambitious upstart, [22:08] (Flashback) Reinhard     but the times were such that he managed     to become a holy and inviolable emperor. [22:15] (Flashback) Reinhard     Hey, Kircheis... [22:18] (Flashback) Reinhard     If Rudolf did it, do you think I could? [22:31] Kircheis     Reinhard... [22:37] Kircheis     Reinhard, please...     make the universe your own. [23:01] Reinhard     Let's go. [23:03] Reinhard     We shall return to the battlefield. [23:08] Kircheis     Understood.

[03:52] Yang     This is embarrassing. [03:56] Jessica     It's nothing to be embarrassed about. [03:58] Jessica     You're pretty strange. [04:01] Yang     How embarrassing... [04:03] Jessica     You really are weird. [04:07] Jessica     Wait, aren't you... "Empty-handed Yang"? [04:12] Yang     How do you know that nickname? [04:13] Jessica     I knew it! I was right! [04:15] Jessica     You moved into your dorm with no     luggage, hence "Empty-handed Yang"! [04:20] Yang     But how do you know who I am? [04:25] Jessica     The answer to that will be along soon. [04:28] Jessica     Let's wait for it together. [04:33] Yang     There are many books here that     we don't have at the school. [04:36] Jessica     Such as? [04:38] Yang     Such as... [04:40] Yang     books on the history of tea, [04:42] Yang     and books on the origin of that     instrument you were playing. [04:45] Yang     With a bit of searching, you can even     find the diary of Rudolf's cook. [04:49] Jessica     For an "empty-handed" guy,     you're certainly diligent in your studies. [04:53] Jessica     You just barely have passing grades in     everything except military history, [04:57] Jessica     but the oddball Yang doesn't     let that get to him. [05:00] Yang     You really do know everything about me. [05:03] Yang     This wasn't what I intended, though. [05:07] Yang     I'd planned to get into the     university's history department, [05:10] Yang     but then my father died... [05:11] Yang     So the only way to learn about     history without financial aid [05:14] Yang     was the Fleet Academy's graduate     course on military history. [05:20] Jessica     You really are unusual. [05:22] Yang     I'm not "really" anything. [05:25] Yang     But that aside— [05:26] Jean     Yang? [05:28] Yang     Jean? [05:29] Jean     I wouldn't have expected     to see you two together. [05:33] Jessica     You're late. We just met. [05:39] Jean     This is Jessica Edwards.

[06:14] Jessica     Hey, tell me something interesting. [06:17] Yang     Well, I can't guarantee     it'll be interesting... [06:21] Yang     When I was a boy, every book I read said the     emperor Rudolf was a heinous villain. [06:27] Yang     I wondered how he became the emperor, [06:31] Yang     so I asked my father. [06:33] Jessica     What did he say? [06:36] Yang     That it was because the people     wanted their lives to be easy. [06:39] Jessica     They wanted their lives to be easy? [06:42] Yang     Rather than solving their     problems on their own, [06:45] Yang     they were waiting for some     superhero or saint to show up [06:51] Yang     and take it all on single-handedly. [06:53] Yang     Rudolf took advantage of that. [06:56] Yang     Now, remember this. [06:58] Yang     It is the people who create the dictator     who have the greater responsibility.

[17:23] Yang     I was just promoted to     lieutenant this morning, [17:26] Yang     but another notice came out at 1 PM that     I'm being promoted to lieutenant commander. [17:30] Jean     Moving up two ranks usually isn't     allowed unless you've died in battle. [17:34] Jean     Must be a special exception. [17:37] Jean     Well, it sounds like even heroes don't get     a break from writing reports and vouchers, [17:42] Jean     but do you wanna ditch     for a bit and meet up? [17:44] Yang     What? Where are you? [17:53] Yang     I'm no hero. [17:56] Yang     I offered Rear Admiral Lynch my opinions, [17:59] Yang     but he wouldn't even listen. [18:01] Yang     He sent me off the ship     before the battle started. [18:04] Yang     That's why I was able to     get the people to safety. [18:09] Yang     Still, who would think to use Rear Admiral     Lynch's flight to save everyone? [18:16] Yang     That's not something just     anyone could come up with. [18:19] Yang     If I may put on airs for a moment, [18:21] Yang     there's nothing more dangerous than being     too set on one's own rigid opinions. [18:27] Jean     This reminded me of the     time you beat Wideborn. [18:35] Yang     I learned from history, that's all. [18:39] Yang     The basic nature of war hasn't changed in     the past three or four thousand years. [18:44] Yang     Before you reach the battlefield,     it's your supplies, [18:47] Yang     and once you get there, it's the quality     of your leader that determines victory. [18:52] Yang     Yes... Fixing your eyes on past battles [18:56] Yang     enables you to predict future battles. [19:00] Jean     Hanging out with you like this reminds     me of being at the fleet academy. [19:05] Yang     It does. [19:09] Yang     How's Jessica? [19:11] Jean     I haven't seen her lately. [19:14] Jean     I heard she's teaching     music in Terneuzen now. [19:19] Yang     Go see her. [19:33] Alex     Cadet Yang Wen-li. [19:38] Yang     Rear Admiral Alex Caselnes! [19:40] Yang     Thank you for arranging all this for me. [19:43] Alex     I've been looking after you since your     Fleet Academy days. I'm used to it. [19:48] Alex     Here. To celebrate your promotion. [19:50] Alex     Welcome to Silverbridge Street. [19:52] Yang     Thank you. [19:55] Alex     Since we're neighbors now and all, [19:57] Alex     I hope you'll work on your     chess skills a bit. [20:09] Alex     Damn, talk about fancy digs. [20:12] Alex     I've got two daughters, but my house     isn't much bigger than this. [20:16] Yang     It's too big for me. [20:19] Alex     I guess you'll have to either     get married or adopt a kid. [20:24] Yang     Adopt? [20:27] Alex     You're as clueless as ever. [20:29] Alex     Just think about it. [20:31] Alex     The Free Planets Alliance has been at war     with the Galactic Empire for 150 years. [20:37] Alex     That's naturally going to bring about     a lot of casualties and war orphans. [20:44] Alex     That's why we have the Special Provision for     the Welfare of Children of Soldiers Law, [20:49] Alex     also known as Travers's Law after     the one who came up with it. [20:54] Alex     Orphaned children can be raised     by other military families, [20:57] Alex     and the government offers a loan     to aid in the expenses. [21:00] Alex     If, when the child turns fifteen, [21:02] Alex     they apply to become a child soldier     or attend a military school, [21:08] Alex     the loan is entirely forgiven. [21:11] Alex     It kills two birds with one stone [21:13] Alex     by saving orphaned children and     securing future military personnel. [21:17] Yang     I see. [21:19] Yang     But I could hardly call a bachelor     such as myself a "military family." [21:25] Alex     It still works if you're single. [21:27] Alex     You can just think of it as a     medieval-style apprenticeship. [21:31] Yang     You're telling me I should     take an apprentice? [21:36] Alex     Even a guy like you would have a lot to     teach a kid, if you lived long enough. [21:42] Alex     Actually, you might have even more     to learn from your apprentice. [21:53] Jean     Looks like your life's finally calmed down. [21:55] Yang     This town has a good library, too. [21:58] Yang     I like it. [22:00] Jean     You never change. [22:02] Jean     I just found out I'm being     sent on an urgent campaign, [22:05] Jean     and... [22:06] Yang     What is it? [22:09] Jean     Jessica and I talked about this a lot. [22:13] Jean     When I come back, we'll be formally engaged. [22:29] (Flashback) Jessica     What is it you're looking at? [22:48] Yang     It's freezing... [22:57] Yang     Yes?

[10:58] Jessica     It's an ethical disgrace. [11:00] Yang     I don't think that's quite right. [11:04] Yang     True, it might have been foolish     to allow that many people to die. [11:08] Yang     But what if we'd won and caused more than     a million deaths on the other side? [11:14] Yang     Should we be praised for that?

[12:06] Julian     I made some of the Irish stew you like. [12:09] Yang     That makes me glad I came home hungry. [12:12] Yang     What made you think that, though? [12:14] Julian     Rear Admiral Caselnes contacted me. [12:17] Julian     He told me you ran out of the ceremony     hand-in-hand with a pretty woman. [12:23] Yang     That jerk... [12:28] Yang     Your future plans? It's that time already? [12:30] Julian     No, but there are some students who get     enough credits to graduate half a year early. [12:35] Yang     I see... And are you planning     to become a soldier? [12:40] Julian     Yes. I'm a soldier's son, after all. [12:43] Yang     There's no law that says a son has     to inherit his father's job. [12:47] Yang     My father was a trader, in fact. [12:50] Julian     But if I don't, you'll have to repay     the loan you took to raise me. [12:55] Yang     I'll repay it. [12:57] Yang     Don't underestimate your guardian. [13:01] Yang     I have enough saved up for that. [13:03] Yang     Besides, you don't need     to graduate that early. [13:06] Yang     Why not enjoy life a bit longer? [13:08] Julian     I couldn't trouble you that much! [13:11] Yang     Don't get smart. You're still a child. [13:14] Yang     Children are supposed to live     by leeching off their parents. [13:19] Julian     Thank you, but... [13:26] Yang     Is it in style lately for groups of clowns     like those to visit people's homes? [13:31] Julian     They're the Patriotic Knight Corps. [13:33] Yang     I don't know any circus troupe like that. [13:36] Julian     They're a radical nationalist group. [13:39] Julian     They've recently become notorious for     harassing people who express anti-war views. [13:45] Julian     It's strange, though.     Why would they come to our house? [13:54] Christian     Commodore Yang! [13:56] Christian     We of the Patriotic Knight     Corps condemn you! [14:00] Christian     Out of arrogance over your own exploits, [14:02] Christian     you have disturbed the unity of our navy     and compromised its will to fight. [14:08] Christian     I know you're aware of what you've done. [14:11] Christian     You disgraced a sacred memorial service! [14:16] Christian     When everyone in attendance responded     to the chairman's impassioned speech [14:20] Christian     by swearing to defeat the Empire, [14:22] Christian     you alone refused to stand [14:25] Christian     and behaved in a way that mocked     the citizens' determination! [14:30] Christian     We condemn your arrogance! [14:34] Christian     If you have anything to say,     step outside and face us. [14:38] Julian     Did you really do that? [14:40] Yang     Yeah, sort of... [14:42] Julian     But why?! [14:43] Julian     Even if you were opposed, [14:44] Julian     you could have just stood and clapped,     and everything would be fine! [14:48] Julian     Others only see how you react     on the outside, after all! [14:51] Yang     You sound a lot like Rear Admiral Caselnes. [14:55] Julian     You don't have to bring him into this. [14:58] Julian     Even a child could have told you that! [15:01] Christian     If you won't come out,     we have our own ideas! [15:05] ---     Get down! [15:12] Yang     Julian, which one is the     switch for the sprinklers? [15:15] Julian     It's 2-A-4. What are you going to do? [15:19] Yang     I just need to teach those     guys some manners. [15:23] Julian     Oh... [15:25] Christian     What's the problem?     Why don't you say something? [15:29] Christian     If you don't respond,     prepare for another— [15:42] Christian     Hey! All of you— [15:53] Yang     Now do you see how scary things can     get when you anger a gentleman, [15:58] Yang     you cowardly bunch of thugs? [16:03] Yang     I'll help with that. [16:05] Julian     No, you would actually just get in the way. [16:08] Julian     I know. Why don't you sit     on that table there? [16:11] Yang     The table? Come on... [16:20] Yang     This is my Wanli porcelain. [16:23] Yang     The one thing my father left me     that was actually genuine... [16:30] Alex     Hey there, son. Could you put     your guardian on for me? [16:34] Julian     He's over there. [16:38] Alex     Were you always into sitting     on tables in your own house? [16:42] Yang     Depends on the day of the week. [16:44] Alex     Well, forget that. There's a matter     that demands immediate attention. [16:48] Alex     I need you to report to the     Integrated Tactical Operations Center ASAP. [16:52] Yang     Right now? [16:53] Alex     It's a direct order from Chief Sithole. [16:57] Yang     What does the chief want with me? [16:59] Alex     All I know is that it's urgent. [17:03] Alex     I'll see you there later. [17:13] Yang     It looks like I'll be out late. [17:16] Yang     You can go on to bed. [17:17] Julian     Yes, Commodore. [17:19] Yang     Julian, I think we'll be able to     laugh off what happened tonight. [17:24] Yang     But before too long, that might     not be possible anymore. [17:30] Yang     It looks like the times     are slowly turning bad. [17:34] Julian     Commodore, I may be speaking out of turn, [17:39] Julian     but please don't worry about that. [17:42] Julian     I want you to walk the path     you believe is right. [17:46] Julian     I believe you are right, above all others. [18:05] Sithole     I see you haven't gotten     any better at chess. [18:08] Yang     So, did you call me out here     at this hour to play chess? [18:13] Sithole     Of course not. SIGN    Alliance Navy Integrated Tactical Operations Center Chief     Fleet Admiral Sidney Sithole [18:15] Sithole     You're here because I needed     to inform you of something. [18:18] Sithole     Officially, the personnel     change is set for tomorrow, [18:22] Sithole     but you're going to be     promoted to Rear Admiral. [18:25] Sithole     This is a formal decision,     not a tentative one. [18:28] Sithole     You know why you're being     promoted, don't you? [18:31] Yang     Because I lost, right? [18:33] Sithole     You really haven't changed a bit. [18:35] Sithole     You say the most scathing things     with such a benign expression. [18:39] Sithole     Just like when you were a cadet. [18:41] Yang     But that is the truth,     is it not, Headmaster... [18:45] Yang     I mean, Chief? [18:48] Sithole     What makes you think that? [18:50] Yang     Ancient military science texts say that     the conferment of more rewards [18:54] Yang     is a sign of desperation. [18:56] Yang     They say it's done out of a need to     distract attention from a loss. [19:00] Sithole     In a sense, you're right. [19:03] Sithole     After our biggest loss in recent history, [19:06] Sithole     both our servicemen and     our citizens are shaken. [19:09] Sithole     What we need to calm them is a hero. [19:13] Sithole     That means you, Rear Admiral Yang. [19:17] Sithole     I suppose it wasn't your wish     to be a man-made hero, was it? [19:23] Sithole     Let's change the subject... [19:25] Sithole     to the strategy you proposed to Vice     Admiral Paetta before the battle began. [19:30] Sithole     Do you think we would have won     if that had been implemented? [19:34] Yang     Yes, I think so. [19:36] Sithole     But might it not be possible to utilize     that strategy at another time? [19:41] Sithole     When that time comes, perhaps we can     have revenge on Count Lohengramm. [19:46] Yang     If this victory has made him arrogant, [19:49] Yang     and he cannot resist the temptation to take     on a massive force with a smaller one again, [19:54] Yang     perhaps the strategy I proposed     could be of use again. [19:58] Yang     But... [19:59] Sithole     But? [20:00] Yang     But it's unlikely that will happen. [20:05] Yang     Defeating a larger force with a     smaller one seems grand at first, [20:09] Yang     but it strays from common     tactical practice. [20:12] Yang     Rather than war strategy, it falls into     the category of sleight of hand. [20:16] Yang     I'm sure Count Lohengramm knows that. [20:20] Yang     He'll most likely attack with an     overwhelmingly large force next. [20:25] Sithole     I see. You're probably right. [20:28] Sithole     Incidentally, one more thing... [20:30] Sithole     And this is a tentative     decision, not a formal one. [20:33] Sithole     There'll be a change to     part of our formation. [20:36] Sithole     The remnants of the 4th and 6th Fleets     will be reinforced with more men [20:41] Sithole     and combined to make the 13th Fleet. [20:44] Sithole     You will most likely be appointed as     the first commander of that fleet. [20:49] Yang     Isn't command of a fleet only given to     those ranked Vice Admiral or higher?

[21:22] Sithole     I believe that if you     can't do it, no one can. [21:29] Sithole     Do you think you can't do it? [21:33] Sithole     If you successfully lead this new fleet     in the capture of Iserlohn Fortress, [21:39] Sithole     Defense Committee Chairman Trunicht will     be forced to recognize your talents, [21:45] Sithole     regardless of how he feels     about you personally.

[03:41] Yang     Your skillful fleet management was a     great help in the Battle of Astarte. [03:46] Yang     Our fleet is comprised of the survivors     of the 4th and 6th Fleets, [03:50] Yang     in addition to new recruits. [03:53] Yang     This necessitates highly     elaborate coordination. [03:58] Fischer     I see. That is a heavy responsibility, indeed. [04:03] Yang     Good to see you again. [04:05] Fyodor     Glad to see you're doing well. [04:07] Yang     As well as ever. [04:09] Yang     I haven't gotten any better at     three-dimensional chess, either.

[05:27] Frederica     I have been appointed as adjutant     to Rear Admiral Yang. [05:32] Yang     R-Right... [05:36] Frederica     Rear Admiral Caselnes ordered me to come. [05:39] Yang     Well, this is unexpected. [05:42] Frederica     Unexpected? What is? [05:45] Yang     Nothing. Never mind. [05:47] Yang     Your name is Greenhill? Would that mean... [05:50] Frederica     Yes, Admiral Dwight Greenhill is my father. [05:55] Yang     You certainly are far superior to me. [05:58] Frederica     Not at all. [06:00] Frederica     I am young and inexperienced,     but I will rely on your guidance. [06:05] Yang     I'm glad to have you here. [06:08] Yang     Have you had a look at my strategy outline? [06:11] Yang     I'd like to hear your honest opinion. [06:14] Frederica     It will be successful. [06:17] Yang     Why are you so confident? [06:20] Frederica     You were successful at El Facil     eight years ago, as well. [06:25] Yang     That's a rather flimsy basis     for such conviction... [06:29] Frederica     But, at that time, you successfully planted     absolute faith in a young girl's mind. [06:39] Frederica     I was at that airport on     El Facil with my mother. [06:45] Frederica     I'm sure you've long since forgotten me, [06:48] Frederica     as well as what you said after     you were saved by drinking [06:52] Frederica     the coffee I gave you. [06:54] Yang     What did I say? [06:56] Frederica     "You're a big help. [06:58] Frederica     I don't like coffee, though,     so I wish you had brought tea." [07:02] Yang     I said something that rude? [07:05] Frederica     Yes, you did. [07:08] Yang     I see. I apologize. [07:11] Yang     But I feel there must be far more beneficial     uses for that keen memory of yours. [07:20] Frederica     Yes, sir. Thank you. [07:26] Guy     Adding new soldiers to the survivors     of the 4th and 6th Fleets... [07:30] Guy     Yang Wen-li is only in his     twenties and lacks experience. [07:34] Guy     Can someone like that really     bring down Iserlohn? [07:38] Guy     What was the chief thinking, anyway? [07:41] Guy     It's been a long time since that former     soldier left the battlefield. [07:45] Guy     Perhaps he's finally gone senile? [07:49] Bewcock     I certainly hope you men     don't feel ashamed later. [07:53] Guy     A-Admiral Bewcock! [07:56] Bewcock     You may be making the mistake of laughing     at a tree sapling because it lacks height. SIGN    5th Fleet Commander     Vice Admiral Alexandre Bewcock [08:07] Alex     Looks like the admiral's on your side. [08:10] Yang     I won't thank him, though. [08:12] Yang     He'd just laugh at me. [08:24] Yang     It is reassuring, though. [08:30] Alex     Oh, right. [08:31] Alex     I finally got your strategy outline. [08:33] Yang     Glad to hear it. [08:35] Alex     It's a pretty reckless plan, though. [08:37] Alex     I can't help feeling exasperated. [08:39] Yang     I'm sorry about that. [08:41] Alex     So... [08:42] Alex     Who are you going to get to carry it out? [08:45] Alex     It'll take a real daredevil     to pull that off. [08:48] Yang     I actually do have someone in mind. [08:58] Frederica     The Rosen Ritter, "Knights of the Rose." [09:01] Frederica     A ground combat force comprised     of refugees from the Empire, [09:05] Frederica     with tactical skills said to be among     the best in all the Alliance. [09:10] Frederica     Its thirteenth regimental commander     is Captain Walter von Schönkopf. [09:18] Yang     His Imperial language won't     be an issue, will it? [09:20] Frederica     No, but there are unfavorable rumors. [09:24] Yang     Rumors? [09:26] Frederica     Of all their past captains,     six defected back to the Empire. [09:31] Frederica     There are concerns that he     may become the seventh. [09:34] Yang     Based on what? [09:35] Frederica     Because the number thirteen     is considered unlucky. [09:38] Yang     So these concerns are basically     groundless, then. [09:45] Frederica     Do you wish to meet him? I can     set up an appointment at once. [09:48] Yang     No. [09:50] Yang     I'll go see him myself. [09:53] Yang     This is a tremendous favor I'm     asking of him, after all. [10:33] Guy     All right. Looks like I win this one. [10:36] Guy     That's what you said the other day, too. [10:44] Guy     Looks like we've got a couple     of fish out of water here. [10:49] Frederica     We are Admiral Yang Wen-li [10:51] Frederica     and Sub-lieutenant Frederica Greenhill     of the 13th Fleet. [10:55] Frederica     We have come to see Captain Schönkopf. [10:58] Guy     You're Admiral Greenhill's     daughter, aren't you? [11:02] Guy     The rumors were true.     You really are a beauty. [11:08] Frederica     Not even a salute. They certainly are rude. [11:13] Yang     Uh... Actually, we're here     on urgent business. [11:18] Yang     We'd like you to introduce     us to Captain Schönkopf. [11:23] Guy     I'd be glad to tell Sub-lieutenant     Greenhill where he is. [11:29] Frederica     Rude behavior in front of an admiral     will only be tolerated for so long. SIGN    That will be enough, Sub-lieutenant. SIGN    How long are you going to keep up that act? SIGN    You're all taking your horseplay too far. [12:00] Yang     You are... SIGN    Thirteenth Regiment Commander of the Rosen Ritter     Captain Walter von Schönkopf SIGN    Captain Walter von Schönkopf. SIGN    Seeing someone as beautiful as you makes them act like little boys again. SIGN    The same goes for me. SIGN    Please forgive us. SIGN    So, what in the world could have brought the hero of El Facil here? [12:37] Yang     I'd like to discuss something with you. SIGN    I assume it's important. [12:42] Yang     Most likely. SIGN    Rosen Ritter Regiment     Commander Kasper Linz SIGN    Rosen Ritter Regiment     Lieutenant Rainer Blumhardt SIGN    Yes, I suppose there is no other way. SIGN    Being in a strong fortress does make people careless. SIGN    But if I become the seventh traitor, like the rumors say, SIGN    it will be all for naught. SIGN    What would you do then? [13:16] Yang     I'd be stuck. SIGN    Well, I'm sure you would. SIGN    But would you stop at that? SIGN    Surely you've already thought up some countermeasure. [13:27] Yang     No, I couldn't think of anything. [13:30] Yang     If you betray me, that'll be the     end. I'll have no further moves. SIGN    Does that mean you place your full trust in me? [13:39] Yang     The truth is, I'm not very confident. [13:42] Yang     But if I don't put my faith in     you, this plan won't work. [13:47] Yang     So I will trust you.     That's the first prerequisite. SIGN    I see. SIGN    May I ask one question? [13:58] Yang     Sure. SIGN    The order you've been given is impossible by its very nature. SIGN    You have half a fleet, quite frankly a ragtag assembly of weaklings, SIGN    with which you're supposed to defeat Iserlohn. SIGN    No one would blame you for refusing to follow such an order. SIGN    Did you agree to it because you already had this plan in mind? SIGN    Even if that is the case, I would like to know your true motive. SIGN    Is it honor you want? Or a promotion? [14:32] Yang     I don't think it's for a promotion. [14:35] Yang     It's enough to be called     "Your Excellency" before the age of thirty. [14:39] Yang     Besides, if I return from     this mission alive, [14:43] Yang     I intend to retire from the service. SIGN    Retire from the service? [14:47] Yang     Yes, well... I would receive     pension and retirement pay. [14:52] Yang     Just enough to support myself     and one other, at least. [14:57] Yang     I wouldn't be left wanting. SIGN    You would retire in the current state of affairs? [15:02] Yang     That's the thing. It's because     of the state of affairs. [15:06] Yang     If our forces occupy Iserlohn, [15:08] Yang     it would cut off what is essentially     the Empire's only route to invade us. [15:12] Yang     So long as we don't attempt something     as stupid as a reverse invasion, [15:17] Yang     neither force will be able     to confront the other. [15:20] Yang     Not on a large scale, at least. [15:24] Yang     It will depend on the Alliance     government's diplomatic skill, [15:27] Yang     but if we can secure a location that     offers a militaristic advantage, [15:29] Yang     perhaps we can forge a peace treaty with     the Empire that would satisfy both sides. [15:35] Yang     And that would give me the     peace of mind to retire. SIGN    But would that peace really be permanent? [15:46] Yang     Permanent peace has never existed     in all of mankind's history. [15:50] Yang     So I'm not hoping for that. [15:53] Yang     But a few decades of peace gave     us an era of prosperity. [15:59] Yang     If we must leave something behind     for the next generation, [16:04] Yang     I would like it to be peace. [16:07] Yang     And maintaining the peace handed to     them by the previous generation [16:10] Yang     would then be their responsibility. [16:14] Yang     If each generation can remember their     responsibility to future generations, [16:18] Yang     perhaps we can have long-term     peace as a result. [16:24] Yang     In short, my hope is for a few     decades of peace, at most. [16:30] Yang     But even that would be tens     of thousands of times better [16:33] Yang     than an era of war lasting     a tenth that long. [16:36] Yang     I take care of a fourteen-year-old     boy back home, [16:40] Yang     and I don't want to see him sent off to battle. [16:44] Yang     That's all. SIGN    Forgive me, Admiral, SIGN    but you must be either the most honest man alive SIGN    or the greatest sophist since Emperor Rudolf himself. [17:03] Fyodor     That strategy sounds like a real gamble. [17:06] Yang     I don't deny that. [17:08] Fischer     There are no words. [17:09] Yang     Perhaps not. [17:11] Murai     And if it fails? [17:15] Yang     We turn tail and run. [17:17] Murai     But that would be... [17:19] Yang     Please, don't worry. [17:21] Yang     This was an impossible     mission to begin with. [17:23] Yang     If we fail, the only ones who'll be     disgraced are myself and Chief Sithole. SIGN    The admiral and I carefully examined this plan yesterday. SIGN    I believe this is the only possible way. [17:35] Alex     Are you sure about this? You would     have the most dangerous role. SIGN    If I fail and get taken prisoner, it would just mean going back home. SIGN    Pardon me. SIGN    I may have taken that joke too far. [17:54] Yang     It may appear foolhardy, [17:56] Yang     but I've thought this through     as rationally as I could. [18:01] Yang     I won't ask anyone to     trust me, by any means. [18:05] Yang     I just want you to think [18:07] Yang     about ways to conquer Iserlohn     with half a fleet. [18:12] Yang     There may be a few possible methods, [18:15] Yang     but I believe we would all arrive     at the same conclusion. [18:20] Murai     Understood. [18:22] Murai     We will begin preparations at once. SIGN    13th Fleet Flagship     Hyperion [19:03] Na     A nonnavigable sector of space exists between     the territories of the Empire and the Alliance.

SIGN    Iserlohn Fortress Commander     Admiral Thoma von Stockhausen [19:23] Na     The other is the commander of the     fortress garrison, Admiral Seeckt. SIGN    Iserlohn Fortress Garrison Commander     Admiral Hans Dietrich von Seeckt [19:29] Na     The existence of two commanders     with identical ranks [19:34] Na     has created a heated antagonism.

[20:11] Hans     I've heard that communications     in the vicinity of the fortress [20:14] Hans     have been disrupted for the past two days. [20:17] Hans     What is going on? [20:18] Thoma     It's clear the enemy is present, [20:21] Thoma     but we are unable to locate     them at the moment. [20:24] Hans     If the enemy is present, we must deploy. [20:27] Thoma     I just told you that we     don't know where they are. [20:29] Hans     Precisely why we must mobilize. [20:32] Hans     To find where the enemy is hiding, as well. [20:38] Guy     Your Excellency, we have a     transmission on one of the lines. [20:42] Guy     It is unstable and intermittent, however. [20:46] Hans     What is it saying? [20:47] Guy     Yes, sir. [20:49] Guy     "We are a force under secret orders to     conduct espionage within Alliance territory. [20:55] Guy     During a mission, the rebels     detected us, so we left the area, [20:59] Guy     but the Alliance fleet opened pursuit     and engaged us in the corridor. [21:04] Guy     Requesting immediate backup from     Iserlohn." It ends there. [21:09] Hans     We may not know where in the corridor     they are, but we must deploy now! [21:15] Paul     Please wait, Your Excellency. [21:17] Hans     Oberstein? Do you have something to say? [21:21] Paul     Yes, sir. [21:22] Hans     Very well. Speak up. [21:24] Paul     Then, I will do so. [21:27] Paul     I believe this is a trap. [21:28] Hans     A trap? [21:30] Paul     Yes, one intended to draw our     fleet away from Iserlohn. [21:34] Paul     We must not deploy. [21:36] Paul     We should wait and see what happens. [21:39] Hans     The enemy is waiting out there. [21:41] Hans     Are you saying we'll lose if we attack? [21:44] Hans     As soldiers, to fight is our duty. [21:48] Hans     Rather than seek a moment's tranquility, [21:50] Hans     we should be thinking about attacking     and defeating our enemy. [21:53] Hans     Besides, how can we abandon our     own men when they're in trouble? [21:57] Thoma     I don't know about that, Admiral Seeckt. [21:59] Thoma     Your officer does have a point. [22:02] Thoma     Since we don't know where they     are, the risk is too great. [22:05] Thoma     Why don't we wait a bit? [22:07] Hans     No! The entire fleet will sortie as     soon as preparations are complete! [22:22] Thoma     I hope he comes back bloodied up a bit. [22:26] Guy     Another message from the same force. [22:29] Guy     "We will soon arrive in     optical range of Iserlohn, [22:32] Guy     but the rebel force is still in     pursuit. Requesting backup." [22:36] Thoma     Very well. Prepare to attack. [22:38] Guy     Sir. [22:40] Thoma     What is Seeckt doing? [22:42] Guy     Ships detected on screen! [22:44] Thoma     Enlarge it. [22:48] Thoma     Prepare to return fire!

[03:29] Mann     I am Lieutenant Mann,     captain of the security force. [03:31] Mann     What happened out there? SIGN    We were carrying out an espionage mission SIGN    in Alliance territory at Fleet Admiral Mückenberger's orders. SIGN    But unfortunately, we were discovered and my unit was annihilated. SIGN    Amid the chaos, I managed to obtain this, SIGN    and only we survived to escape here. SIGN    This contains plans for a certain project. SIGN    It appears the rebels came up with an unbelievable plan SIGN    to neutralize Iserlohn Fortress and pass through the corridor. [03:58] Mann     Is that true? SIGN    It doesn't stop at Iserlohn. SIGN    It may also mean the life or death of the Empire itself. SIGN    You must take me to the commander at once. SIGN    Episode 7 SIGN    The Capture of Iserlohn (Part 2) [04:14] Thoma     A way to neutralize Iserlohn Fortress     and infiltrate the Empire? [04:18] Adjutant     Yes, sir. [04:19] Adjutant     If it is true, the very purpose of     Iserlohn Fortress will be lost. [04:24] Thoma     You don't need to tell me that! [04:27] Thoma     Have you contacted the garrison? [04:29] Adjutant     Our communications remain     hindered by jamming signals. [04:33] Thoma     And times like these are precisely     when we need a garrison force... [04:37] Thoma     That pig-headed Seeckt! [04:41] Thoma     Ready the Thor Hammer and     all cannons for battle. [04:44] Adjutant     Understood, sir! [04:45] Thoma     First of all, bring that ship's     captain here at once. [04:49] Adjutant     Yes, sir! [04:59] (Flashback) Walter     Once we've made it into enemy     territory, what then? [05:03] (Flashback) Yang     Our strategy has one objective: [05:06] (Flashback) Yang     to occupy the Iserlohn     Fortress control room. [05:10] (Flashback) Yang     The problem is that, since the Alliance's     map of the fortress is incomplete, [05:14] (Flashback) Yang     we're unable to pinpoint the     central control room's location. [05:18] (Flashback) Yang     There are five possibilities. [05:21] (Flashback) Walter     So we need to have the enemy     take us to all of them. [05:26] (Flashback) Yang     Yes, exactly. [05:28] (Flashback) Yang     And if we can accomplish that, [05:30] (Flashback) Yang     we can take down any fortress,     no matter how impregnable. [05:34] (Flashback) Walter     The same could be said of a woman's heart. [05:37] (Flashback) Walter     That's all very easy to say,     but difficult to do. [05:44] (Flashback) Frederica     The nearest potential location is     approximately 7,300 meters from the port. [05:48] (Flashback) Frederica     The farthest is 21,600 meters away. [05:52] (Flashback) Frederica     We will have to cover that much distance     in a fortress full of enemies. [05:57] (Flashback) Frederica     This will be the second hurdle. [06:00] (Flashback) Walter     It's going to call for     some acting skill, then. [06:02] (Flashback) Yang     Yes. [06:15] Grandpa     Walter, [06:16] Grandpa     what do you want to be when you grow up? [06:19] Walter     What do you mean? I'm a noble. [06:23] Grandpa     A noble... [06:25] Grandpa     True. [06:26] Grandpa     And does that mean you     can't be anything else? [06:33] Mann     What's that on your arm? [06:36] Mann     It appears to be a tattoo. [06:38] Mann     Tattoos on Imperial soldiers are     strictly forbidden by military law. [06:42] Rainer     No, this is... SIGN    It's for our espionage mission. SIGN    It was necessary in order to blend in with the rebels and gain information. SIGN    Of course, it will be removed once this mission is over. [06:57] Mann     I see. Please forgive my indiscretion. [07:01] Rainer     Not at all. [07:10] Remler     I am Lieutenant Commander Remler,     captain of the control room guard. SIGN    Iserlohn Fortress Control Room Guard Captain     Lieutenant Commander Remler [07:13] Remler     I will take you to the commander from here. [07:18] Remler     Firearms may not be carried     into the control room. [07:21] Remler     You will leave any guns     you're carrying here. [07:24] Remler     Then, you will be examined by the     full-body scanner over there. [07:28] Remler     No exceptions, even if you're operating     under the fleet admiral's orders. [07:33] (Flashback) Frederica     The third hurdle will be the body check. [07:36] (Flashback) Frederica     It's impossible to carry any weapons     into the central control room. [07:39] (Flashback) Frederica     You will be put through thorough checks. [07:44] (Flashback) Walter     So, what do we do? [08:09] Remler     Hold it! [08:13] Remler     Pardon me. SIGN    It belonged to my grandfather. SIGN    I keep it on my person at all times. SIGN    It protects me. SIGN    Is that all right? SIGN    Thank you. [08:35] Remler     Finally, I'll need to see your IDs. [08:38] Remler     We sent those to you when we entered port. [08:42] Remler     These are the rules. [08:51] Remler     Verification failure. [08:54] Remler     I can't allow you to     enter the control room. SIGN    That's odd. Could there be a problem with the machine? [09:00] Remler     I'll check back home. [09:02] Remler     Wait here for a bit. [09:04] Linz     You would waste that much time? [09:06] Linz     We don't know when the     transmission will even work! SIGN    Very well. SIGN    I'd be glad to wait a month or two. [09:19] Adjutant     What are you doing?! [09:21] Adjutant     His Excellency demands haste! [09:23] Remler     But we have— [09:23] Adjutant     Just bring them in at once! [09:28] Remler     Understood. [09:34] Thoma     Where are they? [09:36] Thoma     Finally. [09:39] Thoma     Explain what's going on! [09:41] (Flashback) Yang     In order to take the commander hostage, [09:44] (Flashback) Yang     you'll need to acquire a weapon     inside the control room. [09:48] (Flashback) Yang     You'll borrow it from     the commander himself. [09:52] (Flashback) Yang     In other words, you'll have only your     own strength to rely on at this stage. [09:58] (Flashback) Yang     I hate to ask this of you,     but can you do it? [10:07] (Flashback) Walter     Oh... SIGN    I think I can work something out. [10:14] Remler     You really are a rebel, aren't you?! [10:19] Remler     You— SIGN    Your Excellency Stockhausen, you are now our prisoner. [10:34] Adjutant     Your Excellency! [10:37] Remler     Who the hell are you people?! SIGN    Pleased to make your acquaintance. SIGN    I am Captain Schönkopf of the Rosen Ritter, a regiment of the Free Planets Alliance. [10:49] Remler     The Rosen Ritter? [10:52] Remler     I've heard of you. [10:54] Remler     You're a band of traitors     who abandoned the Empire! SIGN    I'm so honored to know you've heard of us. [11:00] Remler     Don't put Imperial soldiers on     the same level as you bastards! [11:03] Remler     Our commander fears dishonor     more than death! SIGN    He doesn't seem to appreciate you overestimating him like that. [11:13] Remler     What did you do?! [11:16] (Flashback) Frederica     The last hurdle will be how thoroughly     you can occupy the control room. [11:20] (Flashback) Walter     I doubt that just taking the commander     hostage will be enough to fully take it over. [11:26] (Flashback) Yang     True. [11:27] (Flashback) Frederica     Then, what should we do? [11:30] (Flashback) Walter     Karl Seffle, a practitioner     of applied chemistry, [11:33] (Flashback) Walter     invented a chemical for use in     mining and civil engineering on a planetary scale. [11:39] (Flashback) Walter     It's something like a gas that combusts in [11:43] (Flashback) Walter     reaction to heat and energy     exceeding a certain level. [11:47] (Flashback) Frederica     Seffle particles? [11:49] (Flashback) Walter     Yes, Seffle particles. [11:52] (Flashback) Walter     I'll take some into the room. [11:54] (Flashback) Frederica     But... [11:55] (Flashback) Frederica     Using it in normal close-range     combat would be one thing, [11:58] (Flashback) Frederica     but using it in a raid like this is     likely to produce unexpected results. [12:02] (Flashback) Frederica     You could all be caught in     the explosion and die! [12:07] (Flashback) Walter     If you have any other suggestions,     I'd love to hear them. [12:11] (Flashback) Walter     You have known all this time     that there is no other way. [12:16] (Flashback) Yang     Well, I wanted to keep trying     to come up with a safer way [12:20] (Flashback) Yang     until the last possible minute. [12:23] (Flashback) Walter     I just pray that trusting heart of yours     doesn't claim your life one day. SIGN    If you fire, the particles will ignite, SIGN    and everyone in here will be blown to space dust. [12:37] Remler     Seffle particles? [12:39] Thoma     D-Don't do something so foolish! [12:41] Thoma     Doesn't the blood of the Empire     flow through your veins, too?! [12:45] Thoma     If you surrender now, we're willing     to make you an excellent offer! SIGN    Oh? Do you mean that? [12:52] Operator     Ninety minutes have passed since     the task force's infiltration. [12:55] Murai     That's far longer than we anticipated. [12:58] Murai     I hate to think it, [13:00] Murai     but could he have become     the seventh traitor? [13:04] Yang     If that were the case, the enemy     would have taken us all by now. [13:09] Yang     Captain Schönkopf accepted the     most dangerous role of all. [13:14] Yang     I will honor my own word and trust him. SIGN    That is quite the attractive offer, SIGN    but I'll have to refuse this time. SIGN    I need to honor my word to a man who said he would trust me. SIGN    Besides, there are still lots of girls in the Alliance that I haven't seduced yet! [13:34] Remler     Then you'll die with us! SIGN    Have it your way. [13:42] Thoma     Don't, Remler! [13:44] Thoma     Th-That's enough! [13:45] Remler     But, sir... [13:47] Thoma     You win. We surrender. SIGN    You heard him. [13:55] Remler     Damn it! SIGN    A wise decision. [14:10] (Flashback) Grandpa     There is nothing to be done. It's     meaningless to discuss it. [14:13] (Flashback) Grandpa     A noble of fine lineage grew so     power-hungry that he used his wiles [14:18] (Flashback) Grandpa     to steal our family's entire fortune. [14:21] (Flashback) Grandpa     On top of that, he brought a warrant     for my arrest on the grounds [14:25] (Flashback) Grandpa     of thought crimes against the emperor. [14:28] (Flashback) Butler     What will you do? [14:30] (Flashback) Grandpa     Now, there's nothing to worry about. [14:34] (Flashback) Grandpa     We will seek asylum with the     Free Planets Alliance. [14:38] (Flashback) Walter     Free Planets Alliance? [14:44] Rainer     Captain. [14:46] Rainer     I wiped off the blood, but... SIGN    It's fine. Thank you. [14:51] Rainer     It was important to you, wasn't it? SIGN    Hey, come on. SIGN    You have to throw at least one truth in with any false story. SIGN    Men are one thing, but women will always catch you otherwise. [15:15] Murai     Forgive me, Captain. [15:17] Murai     I doubted you. [15:20] Murai     I thought you might betray us. SIGN    Hey, having people suspect me is part of my job. SIGN    It doesn't bother me. SIGN    Admiral, sir. [15:31] Yang     Great work. SIGN    As planned, we've pumped sleeping gas throughout the fortress SIGN    via the air conditioning system. SIGN    When they wake up, all 500,000 of them will be our prisoners. [15:43] Yang     I guess it really did work out. SIGN    It would seem so. [15:54] Seeckt     What?! [15:56] Seeckt     A revolt inside the fortress?! [15:58] Guy     Yes, sir. A revolt has broken     out among some soldiers. [16:00] Guy     Immediate aid has been requested. [16:03] Seeckt     Can't he even keep his     subordinates under control? [16:06] Seeckt     Stockhausen, you incompetent fool! [16:09] Seeckt     We must first stamp out     the fire at our feet. [16:11] Seeckt     We will return to Iserlohn at once! [16:14] Paul     Please wait. [16:17] Seeckt     I don't recall asking for your     opinion, Captain Oberstein! [16:21] Paul     I am aware of that,     but I will give it anyway. [16:25] Paul     This is a trap. [16:27] Seeckt     It seems everything is a trap in your eyes! [16:31] Paul     Your Excellency, please listen to me. [16:34] Seeckt     Enough! [16:35] Seeckt     All fleets, turn around! [16:37] Seeckt     Head for Iserlohn at combat speed two! [16:40] Seeckt     This is a good opportunity to make     those space moles indebted to us! [16:43] Paul     He isn't even suspicious about why     communications are working again [16:47] Paul     after they'd been disrupted for so long? [16:50] Paul     There's no talking to such     a small-minded bastard, [16:53] Paul     full of anger and no courage. [17:04] SoldierA     Enemy fleet has entered firing range. [17:09] SoldierB     Energy charge to the fortress's     main cannon is complete. [17:14] SoldierC     Aim is set. Ready to fire at any time. [17:22] Yang     Change the main cannon's angle. [17:25] Yang     Elevation: seven degrees. [17:28] Murai     Forgive me, but at that angle, the shot     will only graze the enemy's left flank. [17:34] Yang     That's fine. Do it. [17:38] Yang     Fire. [17:54] ImperialA     Why are they firing on their allies?! [17:56] ImperialB     No... It must be the rebels! [17:58] ImperialC     What do we do?! We can't fire back! [18:00] ImperialC     How do we escape the main cannon?! [18:04] Seeckt     Have you gone mad? [18:06] Seeckt     What are you fools doing?! Return fire! [18:08] Seeckt     All fleets, salvo fire     from the main cannons! [18:22] Yang     Change the main cannon's angle. [18:24] Yang     Aim for the enemy fleet's right flank. [18:28] Yang     Fire. SIGN    This can't be called a battle, Admiral. SIGN    It's a one-sided massacre. [18:45] Yang     Yes. You're right. [18:48] Yang     We don't need to do the evil things     that the Imperial Navy does. [18:52] Yang     Advise them to surrender. [18:55] Yang     If they refuse, advise them to flee. [18:58] Yang     We won't pursue. [19:02] Guy     Message from Iserlohn. [19:04] Guy     "The Alliance has occupied Iserlohn." [19:06] Seeckt     The Alliance... [19:07] Guy     "Further bloodshed will benefit no one. [19:10] Guy     Surrender." [19:11] Seeckt     Surrender?! [19:13] Guy     Also... "If you refuse to surrender,     then flee. We will not pursue. [19:18] Guy     Alliance Navy Rear Admiral Yang Wen-li." [19:22] Guy     Your Excellency! [19:23] Guy     We've confirmed an Alliance     fleet behind us! [19:26] Guy     We'll be caught in a pincer attack! [19:28] Seeckt     A pincer attack?! [19:29] Guy     Your Excellency, what shall we do?! [19:32] Seeckt     We cannot surrender to the rebels! [19:36] Seeckt     Facing the kaiser after losing the fortress [19:40] Seeckt     would be a crime worse than     ten thousand deaths! [19:43] Guy     "You fail to understand     the heart of a warrior. [19:45] Guy     We know the path of dying     to preserve our honor, [19:49] Guy     and we know not the path     of living in disgrace.

[20:08] Yang     Then focus all of our fire on it. [20:11] Yang     This will be our final bombardment. [20:14] Yang     If the flagship is lost, the others will flee. [20:22] Yang     Fire. [20:37] SoldierA     Enemy flagship destroyed. [20:39] SoldierA     All other ships are turning     and leaving the front. [20:44] Yang     Sub-lieutenant Greenhill. [20:46] Frederica     Yes, sir? [20:47] Yang     Contact the Alliance. [20:49] Yang     Tell them, "It's over. If you ask     me to do it again, I can't." [20:54] Yang     Take care of the rest. I'm beat. [20:57] Frederica     Understood. [21:02] Yang     The heart of a warrior, indeed. [21:05] Yang     It's because of men like him     that this war won't end. [21:07] Yang     I'm sick of being involved with that type. [21:21] Paul     Does this make me a cowardly runaway? [21:24] Paul     I'll be the ideal target of blame for anyone     who's only interested in self-preservation. [21:35] Paul     Now, then... SIGN    Dominion of Fezzan [21:41] Adrian     Oh? So Iserlohn has fallen     into the Alliance's hands? [21:45] Boltik     That is correct, Landesherr. [21:49] Adrian     I never expected them to be successful.

[06:26] Maximilian     Commence attack! [06:42] Adjutant     The enemy is attempting to surround     us rather than counterattack. [06:46] Maximilian     Using 5,000 ships to surround     10,000? They really are fools. [06:51] Maximilian     They don't know basic strategy! [06:54] Volker     We should counterattack. [06:55] Volker     Our shields can't take any more! [06:58] Maximilian     There's a gap in the enemy's     encirclement at eleven o'clock. [07:02] Maximilian     Have all remaining ships charge into it. [07:04] Guy     Wait, please. Basic strategy     is what the enemy is using. [07:08] Guy     The enemy wants to lure us to that     point and take all of us out at once. [07:13] Maximilian     Some sacrifices are unavoidable. [07:16] Maximilian     To give one's life for his     master is a retainer's honor! [07:20] Maximilian     Give the order to charge! [07:37] Guy     Enemy fleet is relocating to five o'clock. [07:40] Hans     Your Excellency, we need an all-out attack. [07:42] Kircheis     Remain on the defensive. [07:44] Kircheis     When they think we're faltering,     we'll let them pass through. [08:06] Kircheis     Close the gap! [08:25] Kircheis     Bring us in front of the enemy flagship! [08:43] Guy     Message from the Imperial Navy. [08:46] Adjutant     Open the line! [08:48] Kircheis     Message to all Castrop Navy fleets. [08:50] Kircheis     I am Rear Admiral Siegfried Kircheis     of the Galactic Imperial Navy. [08:56] Kircheis     Our objective in this mission     is to detain Maximilian Castrop, [09:00] Kircheis     the leader of the rebellion. [09:04] Kircheis     The officers and soldiers     of the Castrop Navy [09:06] Kircheis     did no more than fight as their     leader instructed them. [09:09] Kircheis     If you resist no further, [09:12] Kircheis     you will be given fair treatment     as prisoners of war, [09:14] Kircheis     and I will give you my word that we will     not take your lives for pleasure. [09:19] Kircheis     The fact that I did not sink a single     ship should prove my sincerity to you. [09:33] Maximilian     The fool! [09:35] Maximilian     Order the ships at the front line     to attack the enemy fleet! [09:39] Maximilian     We'll catch them in a pincer attack! [09:52] Maximilian     What are you doing?! Attack the enemy! [09:55] Maximilian     We aren't the ones in danger! They are! [09:59] Maximilian     Do you not understand?! A pincer attack! [10:02] Maximilian     Fire the main cannons! Fire! Fire! [10:05] Maximilian     Why won't you fire?! [10:07] Maximilian     Fire! Fire! [10:10] Adjutant     Our allies haven't returned. [10:12] Adjutant     If we attack, we'll destroy our     forces within their encirclement. [10:16] Maximilian     How dare you talk back to me?! [10:18] Maximilian     You have some nerve for a former commoner! [10:20] Maximilian     Fire now! Fire, I say! [10:22] Maximilian     I am your master!     I am Lord Maximilian Castrop! [10:36] Adjutant     You said it was a retainer's honor     to give his life for his master, [10:41] Adjutant     but I believe it's a master's job to     give of his own life for his people. [11:04] Guy     Message from the Castrop Navy flagship. [11:07] Guy     "Maximilian Castrop is dead. [11:09] Guy     We accept your recommendation     of surrender." [11:11] Volker     Dead? [11:12] Hans     It can't be... [11:15] Kircheis     We will proceed toward Planet Castrop. [11:19] Kircheis     Caution the men to handle     the prisoners with care, [11:21] Kircheis     and not to engage in looting or other     activity that may harm civilians. [11:26] Kircheis     Any violation of military regulations     will be severely punished. [11:32] Both     Yes, sir! [11:34] Fritz     He put down the rebellion?! [11:36] Fritz     In just ten days?! [11:38] Lutz     No, actual combat only lasted two days. [11:42] Lutz     Proceeding to     Castrop took six days, [11:44] Lutz     and follow-up procedures took two days. [11:47] Wahlen     I guess he does deserve to     be at the count's side. [11:58] Guy     Salute Rear Admiral Siegfried Kircheis! [12:05] Klaus     Vice Admiral Kircheis. [12:08] Klaus     Strive for ever greater loyalty to His Imperial     Majesty the Kaiser in gratitude for his favor. [12:13] Kircheis     Yes, sir. [12:17] Kircheis     For ever greater loyalty, huh? [12:21] Kircheis     The one I swear my loyalty to is... [12:38] Kircheis     Enter. [12:42] Soldier     We've received an urgent     message from headquarters. [12:45] Kircheis     What is it? [12:46] Soldier     Sir, Iserlohn has... [12:50] Soldier     Iserlohn Fortress has fallen. SIGN    Galactic Empire Military Chief of Staff     Fleet Admiral Ehrenberg [13:01] Ehrenberg     What? [13:03] Ehrenberg     Wasn't Iserlohn supposed to be impregnable? [13:07] Steinhof     I can't believe it! SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy Supreme Command Headquarters Chief     Fleet Admiral Steinhof [13:09] Steinhof     Could the report have been mistaken? [13:12] Mückenberger     Seeckt is dead,     and Stockhausen is in enemy hands. SIGN    Galactic Imperial Navy Space Fleet Commander-in-Chief     Fleet Admiral Mückenberger [13:17] Mückenberger     But someone has to take     responsibility for this defeat. [13:22] Mückenberger     Which means... [13:27] Klaus     Imperial territory must be kept     inviolable to outside invasion, [13:32] Klaus     and until now, it has always been so. [13:34] Klaus     The situation that troubles Your Majesty's mind [13:38] Klaus     is entirely the result of my own failures, [13:45] Klaus     and I am deeply ashamed. [13:51] Reinhard     That's a funny argument, Kircheis. [13:54] Kircheis     Yes, sir. [13:55] Reinhard     We aren't supposed to give even an inch of     Imperial territory to outside invaders. [14:01] Reinhard     When did the rebels become an outside     force of strength equal to ours? [14:06] Reinhard     Failing to see reality gives     rise to contradictions. [14:09] Reinhard     And what is the name of the Alliance     commander who took down Iserlohn? [14:14] Kircheis     The Free Planets Alliance     13th Fleet commander, [14:19] Kircheis     Rear Admiral Yang Wen-li. [14:22] Kircheis     It's the man from Astarte again. [14:28] Reinhard     Yang Wen-li... [14:32] Kircheis     Enter. [14:34] Soldier     Someone requests an audience     with Your Excellency. [14:48] Kircheis     We will take him from here. Wait out front. [14:56] Paul     I can't go anywhere without     military police accompaniment. [15:00] Reinhard     Captain Oberstein, correct? [15:03] Reinhard     What business do you have with me? [15:06] Paul     First, please clear the room. [15:10] Reinhard     There are only three of us here. [15:12] Paul     Yes, Vice Admiral Kircheis is here. [15:15] Paul     This is why I asked you to clear the room. [15:18] Reinhard     Vice Admiral Kircheis should     be considered the same as me. [15:21] Reinhard     You don't know that? [15:23] Paul     I do. [15:26] Reinhard     This is something you still     don't want him to hear, then. [15:30] Reinhard     But I'll just tell him later,     and the result will be the same. [15:33] Paul     Of course, Your Excellency     is free to do so. [15:36] Paul     However, achieving supremacy requires     a variety of different people. [15:42] Paul     You tell A things that A needs to know, [15:44] Paul     and you give B an assignment suited to B. [15:47] Paul     I believe this is how certain     matters should be conducted. [15:50] Kircheis     Your Excellency, perhaps I     should wait in the next room. [15:56] Reinhard     Very well. [16:06] Paul     The truth, Your Excellency, is that I     currently stand in a difficult position. [16:12] Paul     I believe you are aware of this. [16:14] Reinhard     You're a deserter from Iserlohn.     It's natural you would be condemned. [16:18] Reinhard     Especially when Admiral Seeckt     died such an honorable death. [16:22] Paul     I'm sure the many commanders see me     as no more than a cowardly deserter. [16:27] Paul     But, Your Excellency, I do have     my reasons for what I did. [16:31] Paul     I would like you to hear them. [16:33] Reinhard     This is absurd. [16:35] Reinhard     If you insist on explaining,     don't explain to me. [16:38] Reinhard     Explain at tomorrow's court-martial. [16:40] Paul     A court-martial is only for show. [16:43] Paul     My punishment has been     decided from the start. [16:50] Paul     Please look at this, Your Excellency. [16:54] Paul     As I believe Vice Admiral     Kircheis informed you, [16:57] Paul     both of my eyes are artificial. [17:01] Paul     Under Emperor Rudolf's rule, [17:03] Paul     I would have been killed as an infant     under the Inferior Genes Exclusion Act. [17:10] Paul     Do you understand? [17:12] Paul     I despise him. [17:14] Paul     I despise Emperor Rudolf, his descendants, [17:17] Paul     and everything he created. [17:21] Paul     I despise the Goldenbaum Dynasty itself. [17:26] Reinhard     That's a very bold statement. [17:28] Paul     The Galactic Empire...     no, the Goldenbaum Dynasty should fall. [17:33] Paul     If possible, I would love to     bring about its demise myself. [17:37] Paul     However, I lack the capacity to do so. [17:41] Paul     All I can do is collaborate in the     establishment of a new supreme ruler, [17:45] Paul     and that is all. [17:47] Paul     I'm talking about you, Your Excellency the     Fleet Admiral, Count Reinhard Lohengramm. [17:52] Reinhard     Kircheis. [17:55] Reinhard     Hand Captain Oberstein over     to the military police. [17:58] Reinhard     He has made rebellious statements     toward the Empire. [18:01] Reinhard     As an Imperial soldier,     I can't overlook this. [18:09] Paul     I guess that's all there is to you... [18:12] Paul     Fine. Depend on Vice Admiral Kircheis     as your only trusted confidant, [18:17] Paul     and continue to walk down your narrow path. [18:22] Paul     Vice Admiral Kircheis, can you shoot me? [18:25] Paul     As you can see, I'm completely unarmed. [18:28] Paul     Can you still shoot me? [18:31] Paul     You can't, can you?     That's the kind of man you are. [18:35] Paul     You're worthy of respect, but that     isn't enough to achieve supremacy. [18:41] Paul     The shadow follows the light... [18:44] Paul     But perhaps the young Count Lohengramm     doesn't yet understand this. [18:55] Reinhard     You're a man who says     what he pleases, I see. [18:58] Paul     Forgive me. [18:59] Reinhard     Seeckt must have hated you. Am I wrong? [19:03] Paul     Admiral Seeckt was not a man who     inspired loyalty in his subordinates. [19:16] Klaus     Military Chief of Staff Ehrenberg, [19:18] Klaus     Chief of Headquarters Steinhof, [19:21] Klaus     and Space Fleet     Commander-in-Chief Mückenberger. [19:25] Klaus     These three chiefs of staff have     submitted their resignations [19:29] Klaus     to assume responsibility     for the loss of Iserlohn. [19:32] Friedrich     Which position would you like? [19:35] Reinhard     Any commendations I've received     were not the result of my own efforts. [19:39] Reinhard     I could not take another's position. [19:44] Reinhard     The loss of Iserlohn was... [19:46] Reinhard     a result of mistakes made by     Admirals Seeckt and Stockhausen. [19:50] Reinhard     In addition, Admiral Seeckt atoned     for his sin through death, [19:54] Reinhard     and the other has been     imprisoned by the enemy. [19:57] Reinhard     I do not feel that anyone     else should accept blame. [20:02] Reinhard     I humbly request that Your Majesty find     no fault with the three chiefs of staff. [20:09] Ehrenberg     I never thought I would owe a     debt to the blond youngster. [20:14] Steinhof     I understand he requested     immunity for Oberstein [20:17] Steinhof     along with his transfer to the     Fleet Admiral's Mansion. [20:21] Mückenberger     We can hardly accept His Imperial     Majesty's generous favor [20:25] Mückenberger     while allowing that man to     be so harshly punished. [20:29] Ehrenberg     Still, to voluntarily give up     a chief of staff position [20:33] Ehrenberg     was a surprisingly selfless act. [20:39] Klaus     Forgive me, Your Imperial Majesty. [20:42] Friedrich     What is it? [20:44] Klaus     I realize this will displease you, but... [20:48] Freidrich     Is this about Lohengramm? [20:51] Freidrich     You want to tell me I've given too much     prestige and power to Annerose's brother. [20:57] Klaus     Your Imperial Majesty is aware of this? [21:00] Friedrich     Since he is fearless, [21:03] Friedrich     he will not simply be satisfied with     the position of senior statesman, [21:06] Friedrich     but might get carried away and     plot to usurp me. Am I right? [21:12] Klaus     I hesitated to put such     thoughts into words... [21:17] Freidrich     I see no problem with this. [21:19] Klaus     Pardon? [21:20] Friedrich     The Goldenbaum Dynasty has not existed     since the creation of humanity. [21:26] Friedrich     Just as no man is immortal,     no country is infallible. [21:31] Friedrich     It would not be unreasonable for the     Galactic Empire to end with my generation. [21:39] Freidrich     If it's going to fall anyway, [21:41] Friedrich     I would hope that it has a magnificent end. [21:53] Reinhard     You look like you want to say something. [21:55] Kircheis     You know what it is. You're being cruel. [21:58] Reinhard     Don't get mad. It's about Oberstein, right? [22:02] Reinhard     You suspect he might be a     pawn of some noble family. [22:05] Reinhard     I suspected the same, briefly. [22:08] Reinhard     But he's not a man the nobles could handle. [22:12] Reinhard     He's smart, but he's too peculiar. [22:16] Kircheis     And could you handle him, Reinhard? [22:22] ---     A good question. [22:24] Reinhard     I don't expect friendship     or loyalty from him. [22:29] Reinhard     He's only trying to use me [22:32] Reinhard     to achieve his own goals. [22:38] Reinhard     So I'm going to use his intellect in turn. [22:42] Reinhard     I don't care what his motives are. [22:45] Reinhard     If I can't control one man, [22:47] Reinhard     how could I ever expect to     rule the whole universe? [22:56] Reinhard     That's enough for today. [22:57] Reinhard     You can go. [22:59] Kircheis     Yes, sir. [23:05] Reinhard     Oberstein will be useful. [23:09] Reinhard     He won't hesitate to take     any means necessary.

[02:47] Lebello     On top of that, feeding the 500,000     prisoners taken in the capture of Iserlohn [02:53] Lebello     will require an enormous budget. [02:56] Guy     It sounds like you're saying our hero     has led us to financial distress. [03:00] Lebello     To remedy this, we can either issue     more bonds or increase taxes. [03:04] Lebello     These have historically     been our only options. [03:06] Guy     Increase taxes? What did you promise     our people in the election? [03:11] Lebello     True, but I'm saying that expanding this war     any further will bring economic destruction! [03:16] Guy     But if we don't win the     war, we have no future.

[04:52] Yang     That isn't what this is, Chief. [04:55] Yang     My life was merely forced to     take a prolonged detour. [04:59] Yang     I will be returning to the     life I intended to live.

[05:13] Sithole     It's your skill as a tactician. [05:15] Sithole     And it's an extraordinary skill, at that. [05:19] Sithole     It sounds as if you're saying capturing     Iserlohn was more than enough for you. [05:24] Yang     I wouldn't say that... [05:27] Sithole     The High Council is meeting today. [05:31] Sithole     They're debating the dispatch     of troops to the Empire... [05:34] Sithole     a strategy to invade the Empire     using Iserlohn as a bridgehead. [05:39] Yang     But that's the opposite of our     intentions! Why Iserlohn? [05:45] Yang     Was it that national defense     secretary's idea? [05:48] Sithole     The proposal came from within the military. [05:52] Sithole     A young officer from the planning division [05:54] Sithole     brought it to the National     Defense Committee directly.

[06:26] Huang     Human resources that should     be devoted to social development [06:30] Huang     going toward the military     instead is disconcerting.

[06:46] Huang     This brings me to my proposal. [06:48] Huang     I would like four million     of the technicians, [06:51] Huang     as well as transportation and communications     personnel currently in the military, [06:54] Huang     to be returned to the private sector. [06:56] Huang     That number is the absolute minimum. [07:02] Trunicht     Don't ask the impossible. [07:05] Trunicht     If we remove that many people     from the rear services, [07:08] Trunicht     our military, as an organization,     will collapse. [07:10] Huang     So you say, but at the current rate, [07:13] Huang     our society and economy will collapse     before the military does. [07:18] Lebello     In other words, we need to allow our     human resources time to recuperate.

[07:37] Windsor     When in history has anything great     been achieved without sacrifices? [07:42] Lebello     The citizens have begun to question whether     they have sacrificed too much, Ms. Windsor. [07:47] Windsor     Some things must be done,     no matter how great the sacrifice. [07:52] Lebello     Politics doesn't work that way! [07:54] Windsor     We have a noble duty... [07:57] Windsor     to defeat the Galactic Empire...

[08:20] Chairman     It appears we need another break. [08:23] Chairman     But first, there are some things     I'd like you all to see. [08:31] Chairman     This is our approval rating     among the citizens. SIGN    High Council Chairman     Royal Sanford [08:36] Chairman     We have 31.9% approval.     Certainly not a very good number. [08:41] Chairman     And this is our disapproval rating. [08:44] Guy     56.2%... [08:47] Chairman     If nothing changes, it's unlikely     that we'll be re-elected next year. [08:51] Chairman     Caught between the pacifists     and the hardliners, [08:54] Chairman     it's likely we will lose our majority. [08:58] Chairman     However, certain barometers indicate that [09:01] Chairman     if we can secure a decisive victory against     the Empire in the next hundred days, [09:06] Chairman     our approval ratings should     rise by at least 15%. [09:13] Lebello     What do you mean by that? [09:15] Lebello     You people want us to fight this     war so you'll be re-elected? [09:18] Windsor     Chairman. [09:19] Windsor     Let's put the military's     proposal up for a vote. [09:23] All     Agreed. [09:25] Lebello     Wait! We don't have that right! [09:29] Lebello     We haven't been granted the authority     to dispatch troops in vain... [09:33] Lebello     for the sole purpose of     maintaining political power! [09:36] Windsor     My, such righteous statements. [09:49] Chairman     Eight in favor, three opposed. [09:52] Chairman     With a majority in favor, [09:53] Chairman     it is hereby confirmed that our forces     will invade the Galactic Empire. [09:58] Guy     This was quite a surprise.

[10:34] Yang     Yeah, not that I expected the chief     to accept my letter with one hand [10:38] Yang     while handing me my severance     pay with the other. SIGN    The military isn't going to let you go. SIGN    In all seriousness, I'd prefer to have a man of your caliber stay in our navy. SIGN    You excel at assessing any situation, and you have strong luck. SIGN    Under your leadership, we may not be hailed for distinguished service, SIGN    but we have a good chance of staying alive. SIGN    I've already made up my mind to die of old age. SIGN    I plan to live to be about 150, grow frail, SIGN    and die listening to SIGN    my grandkids and great-grandkids cry for joy over being rid of me. SIGN    Dying a heroic death in battle isn't my style. SIGN    Please find it in your heart to help me live that long. [11:42] Waiter     I'm sorry, but all seats are booked. [11:47] Yang     Sorry, Julian. I should've     made a reservation. [11:51] Yang     Let's try somewhere else. [11:52] Frederica     Admiral. [11:58] Yang     Sub-lieutenant? [12:01] Frederica     I do own regular clothes, too. [12:04] Frederica     My father has invited you to     sit with us, if you'd like. [12:08] Yang     Admiral Greenhill? But... [12:12] Frederica     Julian, you must be hungry, too, right? [12:16] Julian     Yes, ma'am. [12:18] Greenhill     Hello, Vice Admiral Yang. [12:22] Yang     I'm a rear admiral, Your Excellency. [12:25] Greenhill     By next week at the latest,     you'll be a vice admiral. SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Navy     Integrated Tactical Operations Center Vice Chief     Admiral Dwight Greenhill [12:28] Greenhill     You might as well get used     to your new title now. [12:32] Julian     That's amazing! Is that what     you wanted to tell me? [12:39] Greenhill     Ah, you must be the honor student Julian. [12:43] Julian     Yes, sir. It's good to meet you. [12:46] Greenhill     Have a seat. [12:47] Greenhill     I hear you were the top scorer of the year     in the junior level of flying ball. [12:53] Greenhull     How wonderful that you excel     in both academics and sports. [12:56] Yang     Is that true, Julian? [12:58] Julian     Yes, sir. [13:00] Frederica     You were probably the only     one who didn't know. [13:03] Frederica     Julian is quite a celebrity in this town. [13:12] Greenhill     Your achievements have had a much     larger effect than expected. [13:16] Greenhill     The capture of Iserlohn has divided the     people into pro- and anti-war factions, [13:22] Greenhill     and the dispute has grown quite intense. [13:24] Yang     I hope it's all just simple debate. [13:28] Greenhill     Well, some have taken to     rather violent [13:31] Greenhill     attacks out of hatred     for the anti-war side. [13:34] Yang     The Patriotic Knight Corps, for example? [13:37] Greenhill     Oh, they're just a bunch of clowns. [13:40] Greenhill     They aren't even worth commenting on. [13:45] Greenhill     This gelatin salad is fantastic. [13:47] Yang     I agree. SIGN    Dominion of Fezzan [14:00] Boltik     We have now acquired 41.9% of the shares [14:04] Boltik     in the Alliance's largest     interstellar shipping company, [14:06] Boltik     the Santa Cruz Line. SIGN    Nicholas Boltik [14:10] Boltik     But their ownership has been divided     among twenty shareholders, [14:12] Boltik     so this has not been discovered. [14:14] Boltik     We have already surpassed     the largest shareholder, [14:17] Boltik     a state-owned investment company. [14:19] Rubinsky     Good. [14:21] Rubinsky     But we can't stop until     we own a majority share. [14:24] Boltik     Yes. [14:25] Rubinsky     What about the Empire? [14:27] Boltik     We have decided to invest in the agricultural     development of the seventh frontier starzone. [14:33] Rubinsky     What percentage are we contributing? [14:35] Boltik     Three of our government-owned shell     companies own a total of 84%. [14:40] Boltik     We effectively have a monopoly. [14:42] Rubinsky     Good. [14:44] Boltik     You won't be returning to     your residence today? [14:50] Rubinsky     No, I will. [14:51] Boltik     Very well. Then I will see you soon. [14:57] Dominique     Sounds like all is going well. [14:58] Rubinsky     Yes. [15:02] Rubinsky     In both the Empire and the Alliance,     there are those who think... [15:06] Rubinsky     that war is nothing but two fleets     shooting at one another in space. [15:10] Rubinsky     But that's not true. [15:12] Rubinsky     To rule the universe, you need... [15:15] Dominique     Money. SIGN    Dominion of Fezzan Leader     Adrian Rubinsky [15:17] Rubinsky     The Dominion of Fezzan has bought nearly     half of both countries' war bonds. [15:22] Rubinsky     Fezzan will financially rule over every part     of the universe that mankind has touched. [15:30] Dominique     Yes, of course. SIGN    Dominique Saint-Pierre [15:31] Dominique     So long as a second Rudolf doesn't show     up and start a new Galactic Empire. [15:37] Rubinsky     New Galactic Empire? [15:40] Rubinsky     I see. You have some interesting ideas. [15:45] Rubinsky     Going to work, Dominique? [15:48] Dominique     Please enjoy your stay. [15:51] Rubinsky     You don't intend to quit performing,     even with plenty of money? [15:56] Dominique     I don't recall selling my freedom. [16:06] Rubinsky     A new Galactic Empire, eh? [16:12] Yang     Thank you for letting us     join you, Your Excellency. [16:16] Greenhill     It's been a delightful evening. [16:19] Greenhill     By the way, Vice Admiral Yang,     do you have any plans to get married? [16:26] Yang     Not yet. I'll think about     it when we have peace. [16:32] Yang     I had a good friend who passed     away and left a fiancée behind. [16:36] Greenhill     I see. [16:45] TV     The representative who won the by-election     on planet Terneuzen last week, [16:50] TV     Jessica Edwards, will give     her inaugural speech today. [16:55] TV     Edwards is said to be the vanguard     of the anti-war movement. [16:59] Yang     Jessica? [17:00] Julian     Oh, that's her! [17:02] Julian     She's the woman who visited about     a month ago, while you were away. [17:06] TV     The actions of the anti-war     faction have gained attention. [17:06] Julian     She said she was an old friend of yours. [17:16] Julian     Huh? What's going on? [17:19] Yang     I'm not sure... [17:22] Yang     Wait here. [17:29] Cop     Goodness, if it isn't Admiral Yang Wen-li! [17:32] Cop     I never thought I'd meet our national hero! [17:35] Yang     Uh, that aside, what's going on? [17:37] Cop     It seems the Urban Traffic Control Center's     control computer malfunctioned. [17:43] Yang     Malfunctioned? [17:44] Cop     I don't know all the details, [17:47] Cop     but I heard it was a human     error involving data input. [17:50] Cop     There's a shortage of experienced     workers in all workplaces lately... [17:54] Cop     I suppose this isn't unexpected. [17:57] Yang     So even this happened because of the war... [18:01] Cop     For that reason, all traffic systems in this     district will be down for about four hours. [18:07] Yang     Completely? [18:08] Cop     Yes, completely. [18:11] Julian     Admiral, what should we do? [18:13] Yang     We'll have to walk. [18:16] Julian     Yes, sir! [18:17] Yang     It's good exercise every once in a while. [18:20] Cop     The hero of Iserlohn, walking?!     I won't hear of it! [18:23] Cop     I'll prepare a helicopter for you! [18:26] Yang     Please, don't be dramatic. [18:28] Yang     I can't be the only one to     receive special treatment. [18:30] Cop     But... [18:32] Yang     Let's go, Julian. [18:33] Julian     Aye aye, sir! [18:50] Yang     Jessica said she didn't     have a message for me? [18:54] Julian     Yes, but she seemed a bit anxious. [18:58] Julian     I thought she must have had something     she wanted to discuss with you. [19:04] (Flashback) Jessica     I see... So Yang adopted a child... [19:09] (Flashback) Jessica     Oh, I'm sorry to drop by without warning. [19:13] (Flashback) Julian     Um, shall I relay a message     to the admiral for you? [19:18] (Flashback) Jessica     Thanks, but it's all right. [19:20] (Flashback) Jessica     It was nothing important. [19:22] (Flashback) Jessica     I'll be on my way. [19:25] (Flashback) Julian     Then let me at least give you an umbrella. [19:28] (Flashback) Jessica     Hey, Julian... Do you want     to become a soldier, too? [19:32] (Flashback) Julian     Yes. [19:35] (Flashback) Jessica     I see. [19:36] (Flashback) Julian     But the admiral says that we'll have     peace by the time I'm an adult. [19:47] (Flashback) Julian     May I ask your name? [19:52] (Flashback) Jessica     Just tell him an old friend stopped by. [19:57] Julian     In the end, she just smiled and     said, "Take care of the admiral." [20:06] Yang     So you made up your mind... [20:13] Julian     Admiral. [20:14] Yang     What is it? [20:16] Julian     I was just looking at the same star as you. [20:20] Julian     That big blue one. [20:23] Yang     Yeah. [20:24] Julian     What is that star called? [20:26] Yang     It does have a name... I think... [20:33] Yang     You don't have to look     at the same star as me. [20:38] Julian     Huh? [20:44] Yang     Every person should take     hold of their own star, [20:48] Yang     no matter how unlucky that star is. [21:00] Jessica     I've... [21:06] Jessica     I've made a decision... [21:08] Jessica     to never pretend I didn't see or hear, [21:13] Jessica     to never remain silent. [21:15] Jessica     I'm standing here today for that purpose. [21:20] Jessica     I was undecided about my     candidacy for a long time. [21:25] Jessica     As a simple teacher, I wondered     if I was truly qualified. [21:30] Jessica     But I made up my mind, and I promised... [21:34] Jessica     my late fiancé, who died     in the Battle of Astarte. [21:41] Jessica     I used to think... [21:44] Jessica     that "history" was just "the past"     with extra dust on it. [21:48] Jessica     But that's not correct. [21:50] Jessica     History is something that we create     as we live our lives in the present. [21:56] Jessica     It doesn't only belong to the     people named in history books. [22:00] Jessica     It's something each and every one of     us alive today must strive to create. [22:05] Jessica     Every step we take leads     us toward the future! [22:15] Jessica     Our history up to this point has     been accompanied by many wars. [22:20] Jessica     Whether it will continue     to be accompanied by wars... [22:24] Jessica     is for each of us to decide. [22:27] Jessica     Some are adamant that this     is a war for justice, [22:32] Jessica     that to throw away our lives     for justice is a noble act, [22:36] Jessica     but what is justice? What is a noble act? [22:41] Jessica     Each of us must decide that on our own. [22:45] Jessica     You, who watch members of your family     depart for the battlefield... [22:48] Jessica     You and I, who have lost family     members on the battlefield. [22:52] Jessica     I don't want people who hide somewhere safe... [22:56] Jessica     and never lose anything,     never feel any pain, [23:00] Jessica     to make that decision. [23:04] Jessica     I want to keep asking the     people in power this: [23:09] Jessica     Where are you... [23:12] Jessica     while you send soldiers to their deaths? [23:14] Jessica     Where are you, [23:17] Jessica     and what are you doing?

[00:14] Remscheid     The Free Planets Alliance is planning an     all-out offensive against the Empire? [00:21] Rubinsky     It seems their capture of Iserlohn,     the Empire's pride and joy, [00:24] Rubinsky     has incited the Alliance's drive to fight. [00:30] Remscheid     It is true that the insurgents now     possess the bridgehead of Iserlohn, SIGN    Galactic Empire High Commissioner     Jochen von Remscheid [00:35] Remscheid     but surely that doesn't mean they'll     launch an all-out advance right away. [00:40] Rubinsky     But it is clear that the Alliance is making     preparations for a large-scale attack. [00:46] Remscheid     How large-scale? [00:49] Rubinsky     Thirty million men. [01:08] Dominique     He seemed rather panicked. [01:11] Rubinsky     That information was beyond a mere high     commissioner's capacity to handle. [01:15] Rubinsky     He'll have no choice but to     request instructions from Odin. [01:18] Dominique     How malicious you are. [01:21] Dominique     When you received similar information in     the past, you didn't tell him, did you? [01:26] Rubinsky     You mean when Iserlohn was attacked? [01:29] Rubinsky     I just never expected that     campaign to succeed. [01:32] Rubinsky     I was interested in seeing how     they would go about doing it. [01:36] Rubinsky     But now that Iserlohn has     fallen, things are different. [01:40] Rubinsky     The balance in this war has     shifted toward the Alliance, [01:43] Rubinsky     and we need to shift it back in     the Empire's direction a bit. [01:47] Dominique     You're enjoying this. [01:49] Rubinsky     Does it look that way? [01:52] Dominique     It does. [01:54] Rubinsky     There are many ways to enrich one's life, [01:57] Rubinsky     but nothing is more stimulating than using     whole nations and the very fate of humans [02:03] Rubinsky     as intangible chips in a game     of politics and strategy. [02:06] Rubinsky     Elaborately refined machinations     are an art form. [02:11] Dominique     Unbelievable. You're calling     yourself an artist? [02:15] Rubinsky     Please. It's not just me. [02:18] Rubinsky     There's no doubt that the one     to meet the Alliance's attack [02:23] Rubinsky     will be Count Reinhard Lohengramm. [02:26] Rubinsky     I need him to win, but not     by too much this time. [02:31] Rubinsky     I need both sides to keep fighting and     wounding each other for as long as possible. SIGN    Legend of the Galactic Heroes SIGN    Galactic Empire Capital Planet Odin [04:13] Klaus     We've received word from     Count Remscheid of Fezzan. [04:17] Klaus     It seems the rebels are planning     to invade Imperial territory... SIGN    Minister of State and Acting Prime Minister of the Galactic Empire     Klaus von Lichtenlade [04:21] Klaus     with approximately thirty million men. [04:24] Gerlach     Thirty million?     That sounds extremely serious. SIGN    Galactic Empire Minister of Finance     Viscount Gerlach [04:27] Klaus     It is. [04:29] Klaus     But it could also be called an opportunity. [04:32] Gerlach     How do you mean? [04:33] Klaus     We need to fight and win. [04:38] Klaus     I'm told that a revolutionary sentiment     is growing among the commoners again. [04:43] Klaus     It appears they're beginning to     figure out that we lost Iserlohn. [04:47] Klaus     We must defeat the rebels and restore     the dignity of the Imperial household. [04:52] Gerlach     Should we not allow the     blond boy to handle that? [04:57] Klaus     If he succeeds, his popularity     will grow even greater, [05:01] Klaus     and we will no longer     be able to oppose him. [05:05] Klaus     But if he fails, we'll be forced to fight     the rebels at a tremendous disadvantage, [05:13] Klaus     right in the middle of the Empire, [05:15] Klaus     against a force of thirty     million men high on victory. [05:18] Gerlach     The blond boy is not     completely incompetent. [05:22] Gerlach     Even if the rebels defeat him,     they won't come out of it unscathed. [05:26] Gerlach     We only need to be strong enough to     face them when they're wounded. [05:33] Klaus     I see... [05:34] Klaus     That will be fine if the boy     loses, but what if he wins? [05:38] Klaus     He'll earn the kaiser's favor and the     credit for another heroic feat, [05:42] Klaus     and he'll be beyond our control. [05:44] Klaus     He'll grow even more arrogant. [05:47] Gerlach     Why don't we let him be arrogant? [05:50] Gerlach     We can deal with a single upstart anytime. [05:56] Gerlach     When the rebels are gone,     the blond boy is done for. [06:01] Gerlach     So long as we need him, [06:03] Gerlach     why not make use of his talent?

[07:27] Yang     Good grief. It's overwhelming. SIGN    Episode 10 SIGN    Interlude [07:36] Yang     Maybe the price we paid for Iserlohn     wasn't high enough... [07:41] Julian     Did you say something, Admiral? [07:44] Yang     Hm? Oh... [07:46] Yang     It's said that military victory has     an effect similar to a narcotic. [07:50] Yang     Both the people and the press are openly     calling for an invasion of the Empire. [07:55] Julian     In keeping with our current     momentum, I suppose? [07:58] Yang     But just think about it. [08:01] Yang     If the fall of Iserlohn had shed the blood     of thousands... no, hundreds of thousands, [08:07] Yang     how would you and everyone else feel then? [08:10] Julian     Well, they wouldn't have     an appetite for more war. [08:14] Yang     But they didn't. [08:16] Yang     They got the idea in their heads     that victory comes easy. [08:20] Yang     Ouch... [08:22] Yang     If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't     have taken that kind of victory. [08:26] Julian     But didn't it end up that way because you did     everything possible to minimize casualties? [08:32] Yang     And the result of that is this     completely unjustifiable expedition. [08:37] Julian     They why was this reckless     plan proposed to begin with? [08:45] Yang     Because elections are coming up. [08:47] Julian     Huh? [08:49] Yang     There have been a lot of scandals     within the Alliance lately. [08:52] Yang     The government needs to divert the     people's attention elsewhere. [08:57] Julian     But that's... [08:59] Yang     Just for the sake of staying     in for another four years, [09:02] Yang     they send thirty million     men to the battlefield. [09:06] Yang     I can't understand that     kind of thinking at all. [09:13] Sithole     Gentlemen, [09:15] Sithole     the decision to take our forces     into Imperial territory [09:17] Sithole     was made by the high commissioner,     and it is final. [09:20] Sithole     But no specific plan of action     has been established yet. [09:24] Sithole     This meeting has been     called to decide that. [09:27] Sithole     I look forward to a lively discussion. [09:30] Falk     Chief, if I may. [09:32] Falk     I am Commodore Falk,     an operations staff officer. [09:35] Falk     I believe this expedition is... SIGN    Expeditionary Force Operations Staff Officer     Commodore Andrew Falk [09:37] Falk     the most ambitious undertaking     in the Alliance's history. [09:40] Falk     I can think of no greater honor than to     participate in it as a staff officer. [09:53] Yang     He must be the one the chief     was talking about... [09:56] Ulanhu     I have a question for Your Excellency. SIGN    10th Fleet Commander     Vice Admiral Ulanhu [09:59] Ulanhu     As soldiers, we will go anywhere     we are ordered to go. [10:03] Ulanhu     We are even more glad to depart     if it means striking the heart [10:07] Ulanhu     of the Goldenbaum Dynasty itself. [10:09] Ulanhu     But before we endeavor to undertake     such a large-scale invasion, [10:13] Ulanhu     I would like to know the strategic     purpose of this expedition. [10:17] Lobos     Operations Staff Officer,     if you would explain. [10:19] Falk     Yes, sir. [10:20] Falk     We will advance deep into Imperial     territory with a massive force. [10:25] Falk     That alone should strike terror into     the hearts of the Imperial soldiers. [10:30] Ulanhu     Are you saying we'll retreat     without even fighting? [10:32] Falk     I believe we should maintain a high degree [10:35] Falk     of flexibility and adapt to     the situation as it unfolds. [10:38] Ulanhu     That's far too abstract. [10:41] Bewcock     Doesn't that mean we'd basically     be playing it by ear? SIGN    5th Fleet Commander     Vice Admiral Bewcock [10:47] Lobos     The scale of this operation is unprecedented     in the history of the Alliance. [10:51] Lobos     There's no doubt that such     an ambitious operation [10:55] Lobos     will give hope to Imperial citizens and lead     to an overthrow of its tyrannical government. [10:59] Falk     Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. [11:02] Yang     I'd like to hear the reason for     invading at this particular time. [11:07] Falk     In battle, there is always     an opportune time to act. [11:10] Yang     You're saying right now is the opportune     time for an offensive against the Empire? [11:16] Falk     A grand offensive, Rear Admiral Yang. [11:24] Falk     The Imperial Navy is in a state of     confusion after the loss of Iserlohn. [11:29] Falk     With a gigantic Alliance fleet attacking     in a massive line, [11:32] Falk     under the banner of freedom and justice, [11:35] Falk     how can it end in anything     but victory for us? [11:37] Yang     But this formation takes us too     deep into enemy territory. [11:41] Yang     Advancing in such a long line will hinder     the distribution of supplies, as well. [11:45] Yang     Plus, if the enemy were to strike from the     side, they could divide our forces easily. [11:51] Falk     I fail to understand why you only     emphasize the risk of being divided. [11:55] Falk     Any enemy that enters the center of our     formation will be caught in a pincer attack [11:59] Falk     between our front and rear     forces, crushing them. [12:01] Bewcock     Wait a moment.     Vice Admiral Yang has a point. [12:05] Bewcock     Do you want to repeat the grave     mistake we made at Astarte, [12:07] Bewcock     when we gave up a chance     at a concentrated attack [12:09] Bewcock     and our fleets were destroyed one by one? [12:12] Falk     Such an idea could only come from [12:13] Falk     a noted tactician such as yourself,     Vice Admiral Bewcock. [12:16] Bewcock     What do you mean by that? [12:17] Falk     Strategically speaking, if not tactically,     that battle was not a defeat. [12:23] Falk     Ultimately, our forces     expelled the Imperial Navy [12:26] Falk     and stopped them from invading the     Astarte Starzone, did it not? [12:30] Bewcock     What did you say? [12:32] Falk     This operation itself has a     very different significance. [12:36] Falk     We will be the liberating force that saves     the oppressed people of the Empire. [12:43] Alex     May I? [12:44] Sithole     Rear Admiral Caselnes. [12:46] Alex     As the logistics chief, [12:48] Alex     I have misgivings with regard     to keeping our navy supplied. [12:52] Alex     Having a long supply line [12:54] Alex     on top of managing the territory     we occupy as a liberating force [12:57] Alex     will quickly lead to a supply shortage. [13:00] Lobos     Even if our supplies are delayed a bit, [13:02] Lobos     could we not simply have the people of     the territory we occupy supply us? [13:06] Alex     But I can't calculate such a possibility     into a supply plan... [13:10] Lobos     It's your job to figure something out. [13:13] Yang     But... [13:14] Yang     The Imperial Navy will most likely be     under the command of Count Lohengramm. [13:19] Yang     Taking his military talent into account, [13:22] Yang     I don't think we can be too careful     in formulating our strategy. [13:27] Greenhill     Rear Admiral, I understand that you     hold Count Lohengramm in high regard. [13:33] Greenhill     But he is still young.     He's bound to make mistakes. [13:37] Yang     Yes, of course. [13:39] Yang     But in the end,     victory and defeat are relative. [13:42] Yang     If we were to make a bigger     mistake than he does, [13:45] Yang     it's clear what the result would be. [13:48] Falk     That is mere speculation,     Rear Admiral Yang. [13:52] Falk     To overestimate an enemy and     fear him more than necessary [13:55] Falk     is the greatest disgrace     a soldier could commit. [13:57] Falk     Worse yet, if it dampens     your own navy's morale [14:00] Falk     and dulls its decisions and actions, [14:03] Falk     it only gives the enemy an advantage. [14:06] Bewcock     Commodore Falk,     that comment was disrespectful! [14:10] Falk     How so? [14:12] Bewcock     How dare you accuse someone of     aiding the enemy just because [14:16] Bewcock     they disagree with your opinion     and advise caution?! [14:19] Falk     I was only speaking in general terms. [14:22] Falk     It upsets me tremendously     that you would conceive it [14:25] Falk     as slander against an individual. [14:27] Falk     This expedition is a noble undertaking     to rescue and set free [14:31] Falk     the 25 billion people of the     Galactic Empire who are suffering [14:35] Falk     under the oppression of a     tyrannical government. [14:38] Falk     If we act as a liberating army in     the name of the greater good, [14:42] Falk     the people of the Empire will     welcome us with jubilation, [14:45] Falk     and they will assist us voluntarily. [14:48] Falk     Any who oppose this... [14:48] Yang     What he's saying is the speculation here. [14:51] Yang     It's just a one-sided expectation. [14:53] Yang     What makes him say the people     of the Galactic Empire [14:56] Yang     desire the illusion of freedom and     equality rather than real peace? [15:00] Yang     The idea of this expedition itself     is irresponsible enough, [15:03] Yang     but its execution is proving to     be irresponsible in extremes. [15:06] (Flashback) Julian     They should just not do it. [15:09] (Flashback) Julian     Even if the government ordered     it, it's too reckless. [15:13] (Flashback) Yang     The politicians in our government     were legitimately elected [15:17] (Flashback) Yang     by the thirteen billion     citizens of the Alliance. [15:20] (Flashback) Yang     No matter how reckless it is,     we can't just not do it. [15:27] (Flashback) Yang     Not as long as we're a free     military in a free country. [15:36] Falk     ...a geographical advantage or     greater numbers than ours, [15:38] Falk     or even if they have some     unimaginable new weapon, [15:41] Falk     we cannot let such things discourage us. [15:58] Sithole     I didn't think this through enough, either. [16:01] Sithole     I thought that if we took Iserlohn, [16:03] Sithole     the raging fires of war     would begin to recede. [16:06] Sithole     I brought this upon myself, [16:09] Sithole     but I'm sure it's a tremendous     hassle for you. [16:13] Sithole     Let me just say this now. [16:16] Sithole     I want this expedition to fail     with minimal casualties. [16:22] Sithole     An overwhelming defeat would     cause too much bloodshed, [16:25] Sithole     but what happens if we win? [16:27] Sithole     The war advocates get cocky, [16:29] Sithole     and they end up beyond the control     of the people and the government. [16:33] Sithole     Eventually, riots break out, [16:35] Sithole     and the country hits rock bottom. [16:38] Sithole     There have been countless     countries that fell to ruin [16:40] Sithole     because they won when they needed to win. [16:44] Sithole     I'm sure you know all about that. [16:48] Yang     Yes. [16:49] Sithole     You have contempt for both     authority and military might. [16:52] Sithole     I can't blame you, but no nation can     exist without the influence of both. [16:57] Sithole     So instead of someone     incompetent and corrupt, [17:00] Sithole     we ought to entrust those things to     people who aren't that way [17:02] Sithole     and follow our conscience and good     sense in making use of them. [17:09] Sithole     I'm a soldier, so I can't say     much about the government, [17:12] Sithole     but as far as the military goes... [17:15] Sithole     That Commodore Falk... [17:17] Sithole     is a man who can't be trusted. [17:21] Sithole     He's pushing this operation     in hopes of being promoted. [17:25] Sithole     He probably wants to reach the     highest rank the military has, [17:29] Sithole     but since he has a rival who's too strong, [17:32] Sithole     he wants to do whatever he can     to accomplish something great. [17:35] Yang     I see. [17:37] Sithole     You can be so dense sometimes. [17:40] Yang     Huh? [17:41] Sithole     The rival I was talking about was you. [17:44] Yang     But Chief, I'm... [17:47] Sithole     It doesn't matter what     you think of yourself. [17:51] Sithole     The issue is what Falk thinks of you. [17:54] Sithole     You saw at today's meeting     what kind of person he is. [17:58] Sithole     He'd rather display his talent through     words than accomplishments, [18:01] Sithole     and he'll denigrate others to     make himself look better. [18:05] Sithole     But he's not as talented     as he thinks he is. [18:09] Sithole     It's far too dangerous to entrust the     fates of thirty million men to him. [18:14] Sithole     I think you understand by now why     I rejected your resignation. [18:18] Sithole     I didn't foresee this specifically, [18:21] Sithole     but your presence in this navy     just became even more necessary. [18:29] Yang     Are you telling me to     oppose Commodore Falk? [18:34] Sithole     Not just him. If you earn the     highest rank in this navy, [18:38] Sithole     it'll be possible to restrict     and eliminate people like him. [18:43] Sithole     That's what I want to see happen. [18:49] Yang     You always give me tasks that are     far too heavy a burden to bear. [18:54] Sithole     No one but you can do it. [18:56] Yang     I still consider myself a man of virtue. [18:59] Yang     I don't want to involve     myself in any trouble. [19:02] Yang     I just want to do a job I'm capable of, [19:05] Yang     and then live an easy life. [19:08] Yang     Is that a lazy way to think? [19:10] Sithole     Yes, it's lazy. [19:19] Sithole     I've been through some pretty     rough times myself. [19:23] Sithole     If I'm going to entrust all this to you, [19:26] Sithole     I need you to go through rough times     in proportion to your talent. [19:30] Sithole     It'd be unfair otherwise. [19:34] Yang     Unfair, eh? [19:37] Sithole     Sorry to keep you. Let's go. SIGN    Galactic Empire Capital Planet Odin [19:54] Reinhard     As I'm sure you're all aware, [19:56] Reinhard     the insurgents of the frontier who call     themselves the Free Planets Alliance [20:00] Reinhard     have hijacked and occupied the     Imperial outpost of Iserlohn. [20:05] Reinhard     We have reports that the enemy is     amassing an enormous force there. [20:11] Reinhard     We estimate that they have two hundred     thousand ships and thirty million men. [20:16] Reinhard     They are planning to advance     toward the center of the Empire [20:20] Reinhard     and launch an all-out attack. [20:22] Reinhard     In response to this incredibly     troublesome act of rashness, [20:25] Reinhard     I have been tasked with intercepting them. [20:28] Reinhard     I'm expecting the Imperial     order at any time. [20:30] Reinhard     I hope you will all put up a brave fight. [20:34] Reinhard     In short, all the other fleets are just     ornamental puppets of the Imperial Palace. [20:39] Reinhard     They can't be relied upon. [20:42] Reinhard     This is a good opportunity to rise in     the ranks and earn some decorations. [20:52] Reinhard     Now, I'd like to hear your opinions. [20:55] Reinhard     Tell me how you think we should     intercept the insurgents. [20:58] Reinhard     Hold nothing back. [21:00] Fritz     We strike the moment they     exit the Iserlohn Corridor. [21:03] Fritz     There can be no better strategy. [21:05] Wolfgang     He's right. We can determine     where they'll appear from, [21:09] Wolfgang     then either form a half-encirclement     or strike head-on. [21:13] Fritz     The insurgents will turn tail and run before     they get an inch into Imperial territory. [21:18] Reinhard     I like your spirit. [21:21] Reinhard     But the enemy will expect us to intercept     them as they exit the corridor. [21:25] Reinhard     It's likely they'll put their     best men at the front. [21:28] Reinhard     If we attack them and the rest     never exit the corridor, [21:32] Reinhard     we'll have no chance to     launch an offensive. [21:39] Wolfgang     An offensive... [21:41] Wolfgang     Are you saying that just forcing the     insurgents to retreat won't be enough? [21:46] Reinhard     Obviously. [21:47] Reinhard     Foolhardiness should be rewarded with     bloodshed in equal proportions. [21:52] Fritz     But how? [21:55] Reinhard     We'll draw the enemy deeper     into our territory. [21:59] Fritz     You're saying we should allow the insurgents     to tread on Imperial territory?! [22:03] Reinhard     Yes. [22:05] Reinhard     Once their combat line and supply line     have been stretched to their limits, [22:08] Reinhard     we'll launch an all-out attack. [22:10] Reinhard     The enemy will send at least 60% of     its total forces to this battle. [22:13] Reinhard     We will annihilate all of them [22:16] Reinhard     and completely crush their rebellious will. [22:23] Reinhard     Oberstein. [22:24] Paul     Yes, sir.

[03:55] Adjutant     "To permanently save the     locals from starvation [03:59] Adjutant     will require 180 days' worth of     food for fifty million people, [04:02] Adjutant     forty artificial protein production plants, [04:04] Adjutant     and sixty hydroponics plants. [04:06] Adjutant     These numbers are expected to rise [04:08] Adjutant     as the liberated territory     further expands." [04:12] Alex     That's ten million tons of grain alone. [04:15] Alex     That would take fifty cargo ships     in the 200,000-ton class... [04:18] Alex     Who could come up with a supply plan to feed     twice as many people as our entire navy? [04:24] Adjutant     Even if we emptied every     warehouse in Iserlohn— [04:27] Alex     It wouldn't be enough. [04:29] Alex     We'd run out in the blink of an eye. [04:35] Alex     Forgive me for interrupting. [04:38] Lobos     Ah, you're here. [04:40] Lobos     I heard you had something     you wanted to discuss. [04:43] Lobos     Keep it short, if you would. [04:44] Alex     I'll be brief, then. [04:47] Alex     Your Excellency, our navy is     facing a serious crisis. [04:51] Lobos     What brought this on? [04:54] Alex     You are aware of the request     from the front line, I assume? [04:57] Lobos     I've heard, of course. [04:59] Lobos     It is certainly an excessive request, [05:01] Lobos     but our occupation policy     leaves us no other choice. [05:05] Alex     We don't have that much     food in all of Iserlohn. [05:08] Lobos     So forward the request to our home country. [05:11] Lobos     The bureaucrats may complain, [05:13] Lobos     but there's no way our politicians     won't send the food. [05:16] Alex     Yes, I'm sure they would send it. [05:18] Alex     But how long could they keep it up? [05:22] Alex     The enemy's plan is to place a     massive strain on our supplies. [05:27] Alex     Which means without question, our supply— [05:28] Falk     Without question, [05:30] Falk     they will attack our supply corps [05:32] Falk     in an attempt to sever our supply line. [05:35] Falk     Is that what you believe,     Rear Admiral Caselnes? [05:39] Alex     Precisely. [05:42] Falk     The entire region of space between     Iserlohn and the front line [05:45] Falk     is under our control. [05:47] Falk     We have nothing to worry about. [05:50] Falk     Rear Admiral, we're fighting     this war for the greater good. [05:54] Falk     What victory can be gained     without taking risks?

[06:18] Na     After receiving the massive request     for supplies from the front line, [06:22] Na     the High Council was thrown into chaos. [06:25] Na     Those who favored continuing the war,     represented by Councilor Windsor, [06:29] Na     were locked in a fierce verbal     battle with Councilor Lebello, [06:32] Na     who wished to withdraw the troops.

[08:07] Yang     Sub-lieutenant, call Vice Admiral     Ulanhu at once, please. [08:10] Frederica     Right away, Admiral. [08:15] Ulanhu     Ah, Yang Wen-li. I don't     often hear from you. [08:18] Yang     Vice Admiral Ulanhu,     I'm glad to see you're well. [08:22] Ulanhu     Like hell I am. I'm dealing     with the same problem as you. [08:28] Yang     Anyway, how are our supply     reserves looking? [08:31] Ulanhu     We have enough to last another week. [08:34] Ulanhu     If we don't receive more by then, [08:36] Ulanhu     we may have no choice     but to requisition... [08:39] Ulanhu     No... [08:40] Ulanhu     It's no use mincing words. [08:42] Ulanhu     We'll have to loot it from     the occupied territory. [08:46] Ulanhu     Some "liberating army" we are. [08:51] Yang     I have an idea concerning     that matter, if I may... [08:57] Ulanhu     Retreat?! [08:59] Ulanhu     Before we even exchange the first fire? [09:01] Yang     Yes, while we still have reserves. [09:04] Yang     The enemy is waiting for     us to starve as a result [09:07] Yang     of the strain on our supplies. [09:09] Ulanhu     Are you saying they're waiting for the     right moment to shift to the offensive? [09:13] Yang     With an all-out attack, most likely. [09:16] Yang     They have the locational advantage, [09:18] Yang     and their supply line will be short. [09:20] Yang     We are right in the heart of the enemy. [09:22] Ulanhu     Hmm... But if we retreat carelessly, [09:25] Ulanhu     wouldn't it just invite     the enemy to attack? [09:29] Ulanhu     We'd be stirring up a hornet's nest. [09:31] Yang     We would have to be fully     prepared to counterattack. [09:34] Yang     That is essential. [09:37] Yang     We could manage that right now,     but it'll be too late once our men starve. [09:41] Yang     We have no choice but to     make an orderly retreat. [09:46] Ulanhu     Go on. [09:49] Yang     If the enemy interprets our withdrawal [09:51] Yang     as a total rout, that will     work out just fine. [09:55] Yang     We'll have several possible ways     to fight back if they pursue us. [09:59] Yang     If they think it's too soon, or that     it's a trap, that suits us as well. [10:04] Yang     We may be able to withdraw unscathed. [10:07] Yang     The odds are not high, [10:09] Yang     but with each passing day, they fall lower. [10:13] Yang     The best route we could take [10:16] Yang     would be to retreat as quickly as possible. [10:22] Ulanhu     I understand. I'm sure you're right. [10:26] Ulanhu     I will have our men prepare to withdraw. [10:29] Yang     I'm glad. [10:30] Ulanhu     But how do we tell command and all     the other fleets about this? [10:34] Yang     I intend to ask Admiral     Bewcock to inform them. [10:37] Yang     I think having him talk to all of them [10:40] Yang     would be more effective     than doing it myself. [10:45] Ulanhu     Then I suppose we'd both better move quickly. [10:51] Fyodor     I agree with your proposal. [10:54] Murai     I have no objections, either.

[12:26] Na     Bewcock accepted Yang's     proposal to withdraw SIGN    Alliance Navy 5th Fleet Flagship     Rio Grande [12:29] Na     and pushed for a retreat to Iserlohn. [12:31] Na     To do so, he requested correspondence     with Supreme Commander Lobos. [12:37] Bewcock     Where is the supreme commander? [12:40] Falk     Admiral Bewcock, how can I help you? [12:45] Bewcock     I didn't say I wanted to see you. [12:47] Bewcock     Don't butt in where you     haven't been called. [12:49] Falk     All communications with Fleet Admiral     Lobos will be conducted through me. [12:56] Bewcock     I have no need to speak to you. [12:58] Falk     Then I cannot relay your message to him. [13:01] Bewcock     What? [13:02] Falk     No matter how high your rank, you are     required to comply with regulations. [13:06] Falk     Shall I end this transmission? [13:11] Bewcock     All the commanders of the fleets at     the front line wish to retreat. [13:15] Bewcock     I want to request the supreme commander's     understanding on this matter. [13:19] Falk     Retreat, you say? [13:20] Falk     Admiral Yang is one thing, [13:22] Falk     but to hear the brave Admiral Bewcock [13:25] Falk     calling for a retreat without     even fighting is a surprise. [13:29] Bewcock     Spare me the snide comments. [13:31] Bewcock     This wouldn't have happened if you people     hadn't proposed such a reckless operation. [13:36] Bewcock     Why don't you try assuming     a little responsibility? [13:39] Falk     If it were me, I would not retreat. [13:42] Falk     This is our chance to strike down the     entire Imperial Navy in one attack. [13:45] Falk     What are you so afraid of? [13:50] Bewcock     Fine. Then I'll trade you places. [13:53] Bewcock     I'm returning to Iserlohn. [13:56] Bewcock     You can come to the front     line to take my place. [13:59] Falk     Please don't ask for what     you know is impossible. [14:03] Bewcock     You're the one proposing the impossible. [14:06] Bewcock     And without taking a step from     that safe haven you're in. [14:10] Falk     Are you... insulting me? [14:14] Bewcock     I'm just sick of hearing your big talk. [14:18] Bewcock     If you want to demonstrate your talents, [14:21] Bewcock     do it through actual     achievements, not talk! [14:24] Bewcock     Why don't you get out here     yourself and find out [14:30] Bewcock     whether you're capable of     giving orders to others?! [14:41] Guy     Hey! We've got trouble! [14:42] Guy     Commodore! Commodore Falk! [14:45] Bewcock     What the hell just happened? [14:49] Greenhill     Admiral Bewcock. [14:52] Bewcock     Well, this is quite an honor, Chief of Staff. [14:55] Greenhill     I'm sorry you had to see     that shameful display. [14:58] Bewcock     What happened to him? [15:00] Greenhill     Well, according to our physician, [15:03] Greenhill     he was so overstimulated by his own     intense frustration that he had a seizure. [15:08] Greenhill     Since it's caused by a mental condition, [15:10] Greenhill     if that cause is not eliminated, [15:12] Greenhill     he is likely to have more episodes     like this in the future. [15:16] Bewcock     What should we do, then? [15:20] Greenhill     Don't defy him, don't make     him feel frustrated, [15:23] Greenhill     and make sure everything goes     his way, the physician said. [15:29] Bewcock     Are you being serious? [15:32] Greenhill     As far as treating him goes,     there is one natural course of action. [15:36] Bewcock     That's obvious. We should get rid of him. [15:40] Bewcock     If they knew a man with the     mentality of a child was working [15:43] Bewcock     as the tactician for a fleet     of thirty million men, [15:46] Bewcock     the Imperial Army would have a field day. [15:50] Bewcock     So, what do you say about     the proposal to retreat? [15:54] Bewcock     The men at the front line are in no     condition to fight, mentally or physically. [16:00] Greenhill     Please wait for a bit. [16:02] Greenhill     That would require the supreme     commander's approval. [16:06] Greenhill     Understand that I can't give     you an immediate answer. [16:09] Bewcock     This is an urgent matter! [16:11] Bewcock     I realize I'm being impolite, [16:13] Bewcock     but can't you arrange an audience     with the supreme commander for me? [16:20] Greenhill     The supreme commander is currently resting. [16:25] Bewcock     Huh? What did you just say? [16:28] Greenhill     The supreme commander is currently resting. [16:33] Greenhill     He has given orders not to wake     him unless the enemy attacks. [16:37] Greenhill     I will relay your request     to him once he wakes up. [16:40] Greenhill     Please wait until then. [16:45] Bewcock     Fine. I get it. [16:48] Bewcock     Then, as the front-line commander, [16:51] Bewcock     I am required to fulfill my obligation     to the lives of my subordinates. [16:55] Bewcock     I apologize for taking up your time. [16:57] Bewcock     When the supreme commander wakes up, [17:01] Bewcock     please tell him that Bewcock     hopes he had pleasant dreams.

[18:05] Murai     The enemy is pushing us back with mainstay     equipment in superior numbers, [18:09] Murai     all while supplying their     forces from the rear [18:11] Murai     and hitting with uninterrupted firepower. [18:18] Yang     We'll use a good strategy without pretense. [18:21] Yang     I hear Count Lohengramm has     a brilliant subordinate. [18:29] Frederica     Urgent coded message from headquarters. [18:31] Yang     Read it. [18:33] Frederica     "Gather at point A in the Amritsar Starzone     on the fourteenth of this month. [18:38] Frederica     Cease combat and relocate at once." [18:42] Bewcock     Little late for that now! [18:45] Bewcock     If we could retreat,     we'd have done it by now! [18:48] Yang     He says that like it's so simple. [18:50] Murai     What will you do? [18:55] Yang     Reorganize the fleet into line ahead formation, [18:57] Yang     deploy a concentration of dreadnought     battleships at the rear, [19:00] Yang     and create a diversion while we     find a way to leave the front. [19:04] Yang     Our goal is to turn the fleet around     to head to Amritsar. [19:09] Yang     Assume that leaving the front is     our only tactical objective. [19:14] Yang     Of course, the enemy has probably     guessed what we're going to do. SIGN    If this doesn't work, nothing we try is going to. [19:21] Murai     It's the best option available     to us at the moment. [19:25] Fyodor     I agree. [19:26] Yang     Still, the enemy has thrice our numbers. [19:29] Yang     We will almost certainly     suffer damages ourselves, [19:31] Yang     but I want to minimize them. [19:34] Yang     I'm counting on you all. [20:22] Murai     We've never experienced such losses before. [20:26] Fyodor     But we're almost there... [20:41] Guy     Search system has located multiple ships! [20:43] Murai     What?! [20:44] Fyodor     The enemy had a detached force? [20:47] Guy     We've ID'd their call sign! [20:51] Guy     It's Admiral Hawood's 7th Fleet! [20:55] Hans     That's... [21:08] Hawood     We will back up the     13th Fleet as they withdraw! [21:11] Hawood     Don't worry about how much energy is left! [21:14] Hawood     Fire all we've got at them! [21:33] Hawood     Don't make the wrong choice, Yang Wen-li. [21:37] Fyodor     We can attack if we act now! [21:40] Yang     We'll continue to withdraw. [21:42] Fyodor     But... SIGN    It's a tough decision, but, Admiral... SIGN    You're right. [22:06] Paul     Even as they flee, the enemy is     maintaining order in its own way. [22:10] Paul     It looks like they're headed     for the Amritsar Starzone. [22:14] Reinhard     That's close to the Iserlohn     Corridor entrance. [22:17] Reinhard     But I find it hard to believe     they're merely fleeing there. [22:21] Reinhard     What do you think? [22:23] Paul     I suspect they intend to gather     there and renew their attack. [22:27] Paul     What will you do about it, Your Excellency? [22:30] Reinhard     Obviously, our navy will gather     at Amritsar, as well. [22:35] Reinhard     If Amritsar is the place they     want as their graveyard, [22:39] Reinhard     I think we should grant their wish. [22:45] Na     In the year UC 796, [22:48] Na     or the 487th year of the Galactic     Imperial calendar, on October 14th, [22:53] Na     the Galactic Imperial Navy set a     course for the Amritsar Starzone, [22:57] Na     the place chosen by the Free Planets     Alliance for a decisive battle. [23:03] Na     Yang Wen-li [23:05] Na     and Reinhard von Lohengramm... [23:09] Na     Both heroes will meet once again at Amritsar.
