    My eyes!
[01:06] Soldiers
    Medic! Someone get me a medic!
[01:08] Soldiers
    It's no good! The reinforcements are
    just a random group of mages!
[01:30] Soldiers
    A mage?
[01:36] Soldiers
    What are you doing, Visha?
[01:40] Soldiers
    We can't provide air support anymore!
[01:42] Soldiers
    What are the platoon commander's orders?
[01:44] Visha
    Sh-She cannot allow us to retreat.
[01:47] Visha
    We are to continue delaying
    the enemy till the end.
[01:58] Tanya
    Believers, have faith in the Lord's blessings.
[02:02] Tanya
    For the Lord will not abandon us.
[02:07] Tanya
    Give me the power to destroy
    the enemies of the Fatherland.
[02:25] Visha
    An explosion spell...
[02:30] Tanya
    If you have time for idle chatter,
[02:33] Tanya
    spend it doing all you can to survive.
[02:40] Visha
    Platoon Commander?
[02:42] Tanya
    We are soldiers.
[02:44] Tanya
    If the brass tells us to
    do something, we do it.
[02:54] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant Tanya Degurechaff.
[02:57] Tanya
    Amidst the downpour of shells and bullets,
[03:00] Tanya
    she flew high and nobly.
[03:03] Tanya
    Like a fairy of the battlefield.
[03:15] Narrator
    In a cursed world,
    always engulfed in the flames of war,
[03:18] Narrator
    there was a nation known as the Empire.
[03:22] Narrator
    Its vast military and industrial power
    made it virtually synonymous with victory.
[03:29] Narrator
    It possessed a large number of
    brilliant military minds and mages,
[03:33] Narrator
    but it was surrounded on all sides
    by strong potential enemies.
[03:40] Narrator
    For this reason,
    its military formulated Plan 315,
[03:46] Narrator
    wherein border forces carried out
    delaying actions in all theaters,
[03:50] Narrator
    buying time for a highly mobile,
    concentrated main force to travel
[03:53] Narrator
    to each area and defeat the enemy there.
[03:55] Narrator
    At least, that was the plan.

[04:13] General
    What is the situation in the Rhine theater?
[04:16] General
    When will the main force be deployed there?
SIGN    Vice Director of Strategy and Operations
    Lieutenant Colonel Erich von Rerugen
[04:20] Rerugen
    Movement from the northern areas
    is being delayed.
SIGN    Deputy of Strategy and Operations
    Brigadier General Kurt von Rudersdorf
[04:24] Rerugen
    We must adjust the rail and ship schedules,
[04:27] Rerugen
    so the deployment
    will take another two weeks.
[04:31] Kurt
    We must pull back the lines even more?
[04:34] Kurt
    The western industrial areas
    will be endangered.
[04:37] Erich
    We don't even have enough reserves
    to send reinforcements.
[04:42] Erich
    We've been caught totally off-guard.
[04:46] Kurt
    From the start, a major offensive against
    the Entente Alliance was a mistake!
[04:52] Kurt
    If we'd kept ourselves to
    a limited mobilization...
[04:58] Hans
    We were the ones who failed to convince
[05:02] Hans
    the higher-ups that they were wrong
    about the Republic's not mobilizing.
SIGN    Vice Director of Strategy and Operations
    Brigadier General Hans von Zettour
[05:08] Hans
    Plan 315 is no longer viable.
[05:12] Hans
    Since our attempts to delay
    the enemy aren't working,
[05:15] Hans
    we'll have to move to a mobile defense, right?
[05:19] Erich
    But that will be difficult,
    given the state of the Rhine theater.
[05:23] Erich
    Our forces are depleted and exhausted,
    so it's beyond their capacity.
[05:26] Hans
    We've already grabbed every
    spare soldier we could to send there.
[05:32] Hans
    That will buy some time.
[05:35] Kurt
    I suppose it helps to have
    a talented contemporary, huh?
[05:40] Hans
    Isn't that statement premature?
[05:43] Erich
    What?
[05:44] Hans
    Reports say we've lost over half
    the units we've deployed.
[05:49] Hans
    They say the Rhine theater
    is now a living hell.

    Come with me, Harald!

[06:53] Tanya
    Both of you corporals, get back here.
[06:55] Tanya
    Our mission is to delay the enemy
    via flanking attacks.
[06:59] Soldiers
    Let us go, please.
[07:00] Soldiers
    Now's our chance!
[07:02] Tanya
    Your chance to what?
[07:03] Tanya
    Get back here!
[07:04] Tanya
    This is an order!
[07:05] Soldiers
    Take this!
[07:08] Soldiers
    All right!
[07:09] Soldiers
    Did you see that, Commander?
[07:11] Soldiers
    We'll keep going and crush the artillery!
[07:32] Soldiers
    Too tired to eat, huh?
[07:35] Soldiers
    Force it down if you have to.
[07:37] Soldiers
    You won't last otherwise.
[07:44] Visha
    They say the 202nd and 203rd Companies
    were wiped out.
[07:50] Soldiers
    I volunteered to come to the front lines.
[07:54] Soldiers
    And now I've gotta work for that lieutenant?
[07:57] Soldiers
    Platoon 3, of the 205th.
[08:00] Soldiers
    Your captain is calling you.
[08:04] Soldiers
    We're being sent back home?
[08:06] Tanya
    I would say you're getting off lightly.
[08:08] Tanya
    Be grateful.
[08:11] Tanya
    The army has no need for officer candidates
    who disobey orders.
[08:15] Soldiers
    But we were trying to take out the artillery!
[08:18] Soldiers
    You know how many of our infantry
    they took out, don't you?
[08:21] Tanya
    Is that all you have to say?
[08:24] Tanya
    An army is an organization.
[08:25] Tanya
    And organizations are nothing without rules!
[08:28] Tanya
    Dismissed.
[08:32] Soldiers
    I... I refuse to accept this!
[08:36] Soldiers
    I volunteered to come to the front lines!
[08:39] Soldiers
    My only choices are victory or death!
[08:43] Soldiers
    Me, too.
[08:45] Soldiers
    I agree with Corporal Kurst.
[08:47] Soldiers
    A man of the Empire is expected to be brave!
[08:51] Tanya
    Then you're saying you'll disobey
    your superior officer's orders again?!
[08:57] Visha
    Lieutenant!
[09:06] Tanya
    I'll take your opinion under advisement.
[09:09] Tanya
    But you'd best be prepared
    to face some punishment.

    Corporal Serebryakov,
SIGN    Imperial Army 205th Assault Mage Company Commander
    First Lieutenant Ihlen Schwarzkopf
[09:40] Soldier
    is something wrong?
[09:42] Visha
    Sch... Lieutenant Schwarzkopf!
[09:45] Visha
    Um, I don't see Corporal Kurst
    or Corporal Harald.
[09:49] Soldier
    That's right.
[09:50] Soldier
    You were in their class, weren't you?
[09:52] Soldier
    They've been transferred
    to the rear as of today.
[09:55] Visha
    To the rear?
[09:58] Soldier
    Yeah.
[09:59] Soldier
    They must be standing by in a pillbox now.
[10:04] Soldier
    This was at the suggestion of
    Lieutenant Degurechaff.
[10:09] Soldier
    I heard they made her angry.
[10:12] Visha
    Y-Yes.
[10:13] Visha
    I was sure they'd be harshly punished...
[10:20] Visha
    I see.
[10:22] Visha
    They're being sent to the rear,
    where it's safe.
[11:03] Tanya
    If you're wearing that uniform,
    contribute to your country.
[11:06] Tanya
    The Empire doesn't have resources
    to waste on weak soldiers.
[11:10] Visha
    R-Right.
[11:13] Tanya
    Corporal Serebryakov!
[11:14] Visha
    Yes?
[11:15] Tanya
    Call an emergency meeting.
[11:20] Schwarzkopf
    Bad news, everyone.
[11:24] Schwarzkopf
    Our 403rd Mage Company suddenly encountered
[11:27] Schwarzkopf
    and entered combat with
    two companies of enemy mages.
[11:30] Schwarzkopf
    And they can't use artillery because
    the observer mages were targeted,
[11:34] Schwarzkopf
    meaning they can no longer spot the shells.
[11:37] Tanya
    Enemy observer-hunters?
[11:39] Schwarzkopf
    Oh, right.
[11:40] Schwarzkopf
    You've encountered them in the north,
    Lieutenant Degurechaff.
[11:44] Tanya
    And I never want to go through that again.
[11:47] Schwarzkopf
    We will leave immediately
    to rescue the observers.
[11:51] Schwarzkopf
    Any questions?
[11:54] Tanya
    We can perform a delaying action,
[11:56] Tanya
    but rescuing them will be difficult.
[11:59] Schwarzkopf
    Even with that Type-95?
[12:02] Tanya
    I can still fight,
    but Corporal Serebryakov is at her limit.
[12:07] Tanya
    I don't want to be the kind of incompetent
    who goes to rescue someone,
[12:12] Tanya
    only to lose them and her soldier.
[12:15] Visha
    Company Commander, I volunteer for this!
[12:18] Visha
    I volunteer for the rescue mission!
[12:21] Tanya
    Stop.
[12:22] Tanya
    You can't do it.
[12:23] Visha
    I-I'm an Imperial soldier, too.
[12:27] Visha
    I'm certain I can complete the mission!
[12:30] Tanya
    Corporal!
[12:30] Visha
    Company Commander!
[12:32] Visha
    Please, please let me go!
[12:36] Schwarzkopf
    You heard her, Second Lieutenant.
[12:38] Schwarzkopf
    I understand your concerns,
    but she says she's all right.
[12:43] Tanya
    Roger.
[12:45] Tanya
    I'll do the best I can.
[12:50] Visha

[12:55] Visha
    Thank you.
[12:56] Tanya
    Corporal,
[12:58] Tanya
    you're really ready for this, right?
[13:01] Visha
    Yes, ma'am.
[13:02] Tanya
    Understood.

[14:15] Soldier
    I've been trying, but they appear
    to be hiding in the trenches.
[14:20] Soldier
    Then blow away anywhere
    you think they might be.
[14:23] Soldier
    But a wide-area explosion spell
    will drain our magic.
[14:28] Soldier
    It doesn't matter.
[14:29] Soldier
    Maximum firepower.
[14:40] Soldier
    "A-Attention, all units.
    We've lost contact with friendly observers."
[14:44] Tanya
    What a mess.
[14:46] Visha
    Sh-Should we turn back?
[14:47] Tanya
    No, it's a shame we weren't in time,
[14:50] Tanya
    but we're inside enemy firing range.
[14:52] Tanya
    We've gotta earn our pay.
[14:56] Visha
    W-We only have one platoon.
[14:58] Visha
    We can't fight a whole company.
[15:01] Tanya
    You said you were ready for this.
[15:05] Tanya
    Our enemy is on an exhausting,
    long-range mission.
[15:09] Tanya
    And they've used a lot of firepower
    to take out our observers.
[15:13] Tanya
    There's a good chance we can win.
[15:18] Tanya
    But I guess losing new troops already
    would hurt my promotion chances.
[15:24] Tanya
    You are to rendezvous with
    Lieutenant Schwarzkopf and provide support.
[15:28] Tanya
    I'll go ahead and destroy three platoons.

SIGN    2013 AD, Tokyo
[00:16] Man
    I'm aware of my deficiencies as a human.
[00:20] Man
    My personality is twisted in various ways,
    and I have every complex imaginable.
[00:24] Man
    But...
[00:26] Man
    I'm superior to the incompetent before me.
[00:29] Man
    No...
[00:30] Man
    Why?
[00:32] Man
    In terms of cost-benefits,
    I've made myself quite valuable,
[00:36] Man
    unlike this incompetent.
SIGN    Talented Employee Award

    You are receiving this award in recognition of
    your contributions to the company through
    the establishment of business processes.
[00:39] Man
    P-Please...
[00:41] Man
    I have my daughter's tuition to consider,
    and the loan on my house...
[00:45] Man
    You've missed work without
    permission multiple times,
[00:48] Man
    and you've ignored company orders
    to improve your work.
[00:52] Man
    Now, then...
[00:53] Man
    What reason does the company have
    to continue employing you?
[00:59] Man
    W-Wait a second... Please!
SIGN    Improve Your Skills More Than Ever

    What You Need To Work the Way Only You Can
[01:03] Man
    Please leave.
[01:05] Man
    As long as I'm being paid for my labor,
[01:08] Man
    I'll do my job and tell people
    they're laid off, even if it's a pain.
[01:11] Man
    Obeying company rules is
    the easiest thing in the world.
SIGN    Freedom of Choice
[01:27] Man
    One need not look to
    the Chicago school to understand
[01:30] Man
    that a system requires rules
    to function smoothly.
SIGN    Train Arriving
[01:33] ---
    If I follow the rules,
[01:37] Man
    I can ride the rails right to
    the department chief's chair.
[01:43] Man
    And life will become nice and easy.
[01:52] Man
    At least, that was the plan...
[01:56] Man
    I guess the kind of person who gets laid off
[01:59] Man
    will prioritize an immediate,
    emotional impulse over reason.
[02:28] Man
    What?
[02:32] Man
    What happened?
[02:34] Man
    What is this?
[02:37] God
    I'm getting tired of this.
[02:41] God
    Humans these days
    have no sense of right and wrong.
[02:46] God
    They've strayed too far
    from the laws of the universe.
[02:49] Man
    What are they saying?
[02:51] God
    They have no ability to empathize with others.
[02:54] God
    And not a trace of faith in their Creator.
[02:58] Man
    The Creator?
[03:00] God
    Indeed.
[03:02] Man
    I see.
[03:03] Man
    So I am to understand that
    the being known as "God"
[03:07] Man
    has stopped time in the moments
    before my death,
[03:12] Man
    appearing as people around me?
[03:15] God
    Indeed.
[03:17] Man
    Listen...
[03:19] Man
    I'm sorry to say this after
    you came all the way down here,
[03:22] Man
    but I reject God's existence, from both
    realistic and rational perspectives.
[03:27] God
    What?
[03:29] Man
    Thinking logically,
[03:31] Man
    only God or the devil could exist
    beyond our knowledge of the world.
SIGN    Prices Rise Sharply The Invisible Hand of God
[03:35] Man
    But hypothetically, if God were to exist,
[03:38] Man
    he would never let this absurdity happen.
[03:43] Man
    In other words, you must be...
[03:45] God
    The devil?
[03:46] Man
    Or perhaps something similar,
    which we could call "Being X."
[03:51] God
    Apparently, you truly do lack faith.
[03:55] Man
    It's senseless to start lecturing me on faith.
[03:59] Man
    If a thing like this is going to happen,
[04:01] Man
    you need to submit the details to me
    in advance and in writing.
[04:05] God
    I am that which returns people to the
    wheel of reincarnation, initiating rebirth.
[04:09] God
    But I shall make an exception for you.
[04:13] Man
    The wheel of reincarnation?
[04:15] Man
    You're saying that you cause
    people to be reborn?
[04:19] God
    That is no longer your concern.
[04:21] Man
    Are you unfamiliar with
    the concept of "duty of disclosure"?
[04:26] Man
    And if you claim to be God,
[04:29] Man
    you should try to put
    more thought into your decisions.
[04:31] God
    Administering seven billion people
    is already beyond my capacity.
[04:37] God
    Reincarnating people without faith
    is a waste of my time.
[04:42] Man
    Overwork is the sign of a
    failed business model.
[04:46] Man
    You failed to sufficiently analyze
    consumer consciousness.
[04:49] Man
    In a world with advanced science,
    where one's needs are met,
[04:53] Man
    there will be no faith.
[04:55] Man
    Only the weak, when they're in
    dire straits, cling to someone.
[05:00] Man
    A salaryman like me would never do that.
[05:04] God
    So, basically, your lack of faith is because
[05:07] God
    you live in a world where needs are met,
    science is advanced,
[05:10] God
    you have a strong social position,
[05:12] God
    and you are not in dire straits?
[05:15] Man
    W-Wait a second!
[05:18] Man
    I think you may be jumping to conclusions.
[05:21] God
    If I put you
[05:22] God
    into the "dire straits"
[05:23] God
    you speak of,
[05:24] God
    your faith
[05:25] God
    will awaken?
[05:27] Man
    C-Calm down!
[05:29] Man
    I don't intend to break any rules!
[05:32] God
    Try to live as long as you can.
[05:35] God
    If you die again,
[05:38] God
    there will be no second reincarnation.
[05:42] Man
    W-Wait—
[05:59] Nun
    There, there.
[06:00] Nun
    Okay, open up...
[06:03] Nun
    Oh, my...
[06:09] Nun
    Now, don't be a picky eater,
[06:12] Nun
    Tanya.
[06:19] Tanya
    What?
[06:20] Tanya
    What's going on?
[06:22] Tanya
    Tanya?
[06:24] Tanya
    Me?
SIGN    Episode 02 Prologue
[06:25] Tanya
    I'm Tanya?
SIGN    Unified Year 1913, Outskirts of Imperial Capital Berun
[06:35] Tanya
    As a result of my absurd
    reincarnation by Being X,
[06:38] Tanya
    I was abandoned in a poor nunnery
    in another world.
[06:44] Kid A
    Give that back!
[06:45] Kid B
    No.
[06:46] Kid A
    That's mine!
[06:46] Tanya
    It was very similar to a certain
    European country and era
[06:50] Tanya
    from the world in which I'd lived before.
[06:53] Nun
    There's nothing left?
[06:55] Nun
    No, and we have no money
    to go to town for more.
[06:58] Nun
    What do we do?
[06:59] Nun
    At this rate...
[07:01] Tanya
    Perhaps due to the times, there was
    a huge gap between rich and poor.
[07:05] Tanya
    A painful, difficult life was unavoidable.
SIGN    Destroy the Enemies of the Fatherland
[07:08] Tanya
    And the country was gripped with
    the madness that precedes war.
[07:14] Mob
    Punish the Fatherland's enemies!
[07:17] Mob
    Now is the time to show our wrath!
[07:19] Tanya
    In a time when war seemed unavoidable,
[07:23] Tanya
    I'd thought it would be impossible for
    a poor, powerless girl to survive.
[07:28] Tanya
    But in that world,
    the power of magic did exist.
[07:33] Tanya
    And during the orphanage's physical,
[07:36] Tanya
    my magical aptitude was noted.
[07:39] Tanya
    The army always conscripted
    those with aptitude as mages.
SIGN    Tanya Degurechaff Magical Aptitude A
[07:46] Tanya
    And if I were going to be
    conscripted someday,
[07:48] Tanya
    it made more sense to volunteer,
    receive officer training,
[07:51] Tanya
    and attempt to get onto a career path.
[08:02] Tanya
    Of course, war is an unproductive
    and therefore wicked act.
[08:08] Tanya
    And I hated the idea of
    killing or being killed.
[08:12] Tanya
    But if I could just
    get on the military's rails,
[08:16] Tanya
    my future would be assured.
SIGN    Imperial Army Officer Training School
[08:20] Officer
    You have aptitude as a mage,
[08:23] Officer
    but why volunteer at your age?
[08:26] Tanya
    I have no other path.
    That is the only reason.
[08:32] Tanya
    While this world was similar
    to the one I used to be in,
[08:36] Tanya
    that didn't mean this country
    was doomed to lose in the future.
[08:40] Tanya
    With my next reincarnation not guaranteed,
[08:43] Tanya
    my priority was to survive and protect
    myself in this environment.
[08:52] Officer
    Wow, she's flying!
[08:58] Tanya
    And in terms of getting
    my revenge on Being X...
[09:05] Tanya
    I could live a nice, easy life in
    the rear echelon, where it was safe!
[09:15] Tanya
    New soldiers, welcome to hell.
[09:18] Background
    No matter how difficult the military is,
[09:18] Tanya
    The Imperial military was
    a champion of meritocracy,
[09:21] Background
    we seek only the best results.
[09:21] Tanya
    and in less than a year,
[09:23] Background
    Thus, my task is to eliminate the
    incompetent from our ranks.
[09:23] Tanya
    I was entrusted with training
    the second-class students.
[09:26] Soldier
    That's our instructor?
[09:27] Soldier
    She's younger than my little sister.
[09:30] Soldier
    I don't know if a voice like that
    can scare me...
[09:32] Tanya
    From now on, I'll be your teacher.
[09:35] Tanya
    I don't expect anything from you maggots.
[09:38] Tanya
    But at least don't drive me to despair!
[09:42] Soldier
    She's just trying to scare us.
[09:44] Soldier
    She doesn't mean it.
[09:48] Erich
    Okay, submit a report about it
    to the investigative division.
SIGN    Chief of Personnel Affairs
    (Then) Major
    Erich von Rerugen
[09:53] Erich
    Next year, I plan to move from
    Personnel Affairs to Operations,
[09:57] Erich
    but my successor will handle the rest—
[10:03] Erich
    What's going on?!
[10:12] Tanya
    What's wrong?
[10:14] Tanya
    You're twitching like a shrimp.
[10:17] Tanya
    Want me to feed you to the pigs,
[10:19] Tanya
    you maggots?!
[10:22] Soldier
    Wh-Why is this happening?
[10:28] Tanya
    Why?
[10:29] Tanya
    You can't be ready five minutes
    before it's time to go,
[10:32] Tanya
    and you don't know why the Fatherland
    is better off without you?
[10:36] Soldier
    Y-You little brat—
[10:42] Tanya
    You're free to hold whatever
    opinion of me you like,
[10:46] Tanya
    but resisting a superior officer
    should be harshly punished.
[10:50] Soldiers
    That's enough, right?
[10:51] Soldiers
    That's going too far!
[10:52] Soldiers
    Stop it!
[10:54] Tanya
    I'll open up that brainless skull of yours
[10:57] Tanya
    and carve the damn rules inside!
[11:00] Erich
    What are you doing?
[11:02] Tanya
    I'm just doing my job as a soldier.
[11:06] Tanya
    It's an officer's duty
    to discipline her troops.
[11:10] Soldier
    Hey, what are you doing?!
[11:12] Soldier
    Let him go!
[11:13] Tanya
    There were minor issues.
[11:15] Tanya
    But afterward, I finished my training.
SIGN    Northern Theater Force Garrison
[11:18] Tanya
    The only thing missing before
    graduation was to finish
[11:21] Tanya
    my training deployment in the North.
[11:31] Tanya
    Warrant Officer Tanya
    Degurechaff, heading out.
[11:43] Tanya
    But it was there that I learned...
[11:50] Tanya
    The unexpected can happen in any world.

    I never thought I'd see battle
    during my training.
[12:21] Tanya
    Damn you, Being X.

    This is Norden Control.
[12:26] Norden Control

[12:32] Norden Control
    Your call sign is Fairy 08.
[12:36] Tanya
    Fairy, huh?
[12:37] Tanya
    That's an ironic name.
[12:41] Tanya
    This is Fairy 08.
[12:43] Tanya
    Entente Alliance infantry crossing
    the border confirmed.
[12:46] Tanya
    Over.

[13:15] Norden Control
    Out.
[13:27] Soldiers
    Run to the forest!
[13:29] Soldiers
    Retreat! Retreat!
[13:33] Tanya
    This is the result of the Entente
    Alliance's brinkmanship, huh?
[13:37] Tanya
    Why would you cross a border
    without being prepared for war?
[13:40] Tanya
    The Empire would never do that.
[13:42] Soldiers
    Medic! Are there any medics?!
[13:44] Soldiers
    It hurts!
[13:45] Soldiers
    Damn it!
[13:46] Soldiers
    Where are they firing from?
[13:48] Soldiers
    Help me!
[13:49] Soldiers
    Damn it! I can't move!

    Damn those upper-brass politicians!
[14:02] Anson
    How is this a just a
    "somewhat tense military exercise"?
[14:05] Anson
    Cunningham!
[14:07] Anson
    What's our allies' status?
[14:08] Cunningham
    No good... I can't get through.
[14:12] Anson
    We'll just do what we can to
    lessen enemy area suppression!
[14:15] Cunningham
    B-But...
[14:16] Cunningham
    With these numbers, we can't
    touch the artillery camp!
[14:20] Anson
    I know that.
[14:21] Anson
    But we can go after the artillery observer.
[14:29] Tanya
    Norden Control, this is Fairy 08.
[14:32] Tanya
    Enemy infantry is beginning to scatter.
[14:35] Tanya
    Over.
[14:36] Norden Control
    Norden Control, roger.
[14:38] Norden Control
    Fairy 08, proceed to patrol line 2,
[14:41] Norden Control
    and guide area suppression
    for the infantry there.
[14:44] Norden Control
    Over.
[14:45] Tanya
    Roger.
[14:51] Tanya
    Any more of this is just a waste of shells.

    She looked younger than my daughter.

[15:37] Tanya
    Engaging the enemy.

[15:59] Norden Control
    Allied air units will arrive
    within 600 seconds.
[16:02] Tanya
    600 seconds?
[16:03] Tanya
    That's enough time to cook
    an instant meal, eat it, and clean up.
[16:07] Tanya
    I can't hold out against a company that long!
[16:10] Tanya
    Permission to leave battlefield immediately.
[16:11] Tanya
    I repeat, requesting permission to
    leave battlefield immediately!
[16:14] Norden Control
    Unfortunately, we can't permit that.
[16:16] Norden Control
    Delay the enemy until
    the response team arrives.
[16:21] Tanya
    Roger.
[16:23] Tanya
    I'll do the best I can.
[16:25] Norden Control
    Good luck.
[16:26] Norden Control
    God is on our side.
[16:32] Tanya
    God...
[16:33] Tanya
    Did she say God?
[16:35] Tanya
    I refuse to accept the existence of God!
[16:42] Anson
    She turned around.
[16:44] Anson
    Does she intend to take us on by herself?
[16:46] Company Commander Ragald
    I'll hit her at close range! Back me up!
[16:49] All
    Roger!
[16:50] Anson
    Company Commander! That's foolish!
[17:12] Tanya
    I get to be the hero of
    the battlefield all by myself...
[17:15] Tanya
    What an honor!
[17:17] Tanya
    People sometimes say,
    "It's a good day to die."
[17:20] Tanya
    And damn, this is amazing!
[17:22] Company Commander Ragald
    She's coming!
[17:24] Company Commander Ragald
    Fire!

    Making it seem you fought hard,
[19:37] Tanya
    while leaving the battlefield
    in a natural way.
[19:40] Tanya
    That is the best way to protect

    During the battle with the Entente Alliance,
[20:00] Tanya
    Not good... This is not good.
[20:01] Officer
    you detained the enemy until
    reinforcements arrived.
[20:03] Officer
    Despite serious wounds, you had four
    confirmed kills and two unconfirmed,
[20:07] Tanya
    I didn't think they'd be so impressed.

[20:11] Tanya
    They're treating me like an ace.
[20:15] Officer
    In recognition of your efforts,

    we award you the Silver Wings Assault Badge.
[20:24] Officer
    Wonderful.

    Congratulations.
[20:28] Tanya
    Of course, it's great to see
    your work rewarded.
[20:32] Tanya
    It's great, but...
[20:35] Tanya
    But I hope they don't use this as an excuse
    to send me to the front lines.

    I wonder if there's a child protection

    Awarded the Silver Wings Assault Badge
    at the young age of nine.

    The young ace known as "White Silver"...

    Her magical capacity and output
    are both incredible.
[21:07] Scientist
    With those capabilities,
    she won't be easily broken.

    It was just a propaganda photo shoot

    The stench of blood and gunpowder
    has yet to disappear from my nostrils.
[01:14] Tanya
    But right now,

    I'm enjoying my studies.
[02:50] Tanya
    There's a sizable difference between
    their education policies,
[02:53] Tanya
    but a military university isn't that
    different from a normal one.
[02:56] Tanya
    No, in some ways, you're treated even better.
[03:00] Tanya
    Part of it may be because I'm back from
    the front lines with a medal on my chest.
[03:04] Tanya
    But even in the body of a little child,
    I've had no trouble fitting in.
[03:08] Tanya
    All that's left is to use signaling theory
    to show my human resources value,

    Yes, sir.

    To clarify the question,
    are there any senior officers present?
[03:53] Officer
    We'll say there aren't.
[03:55] Tanya
    A commander who's neglected his duty
    to stop any such deviation
[03:58] Tanya
    has failed in his legal duty.

    Maximum penalty may include

[04:06] Tanya
    As long as the officer in question

    Yes, sir. Excuse me.
[06:52] Zettour
    Actually, I wanted to ask you something.
[06:58] Zettour
    What are your thoughts on the war?
[07:01] Tanya
    Imperial soldiers are nearly
    obsessed with precision.
[07:06] Tanya
    Sir, I'm sorry,
    but your question is too broad.
[07:10] Zettour
    Let me change it, then.
[07:13] Zettour
    What do you think the next
    developments in the war will be?
[07:16] Zettour
    I'm afraid I don't believe
    I'm in a position to say.
[07:21] Zettour
    This isn't an inquiry.
[07:23] Zettour
    Give me your personal perspective.
[07:25] Zettour
    Speak freely.
[07:27] Tanya
    I guess refusing any more would be rude...
[07:31] Tanya
    Then, with your permission to speak freely.
[07:34] Tanya
    I'm certain that this war
    will grow into a world war.
[07:39] Zettour
    A world war?
[07:40] Tanya
    A global war, involving the majority of
    the world's most powerful countries.
[07:45] Tanya
    That is a world war.
[07:49] Zettour
    And what makes you think so?
[07:50] Tanya
    The Empire is a relatively new addition
    to the ranks of the world powers,
[07:54] Tanya
    but it maintains military superiority.
[07:57] Tanya
    Its military power is incredible.
[07:59] Tanya
    In a one-on-one fight,
    it could defeat the Republic.
[08:03] Tanya
    If we do defeat the Republic
    and restore peace,
[08:07] Tanya
    our country will be in a position of
    absolute superiority on the continent.
[08:12] Tanya
    However...
[08:13] Tanya
    I don't think the other major powers,
[08:16] Tanya
    the Allied Kingdom and the Russy Federation,
    will ever be willing to ignore that.
[08:21] Tanya
    They're being forced to make a choice.
[08:24] Tanya
    Will they allow a new ruling country's birth,
[08:27] Tanya
    or will they reject it?
[08:30] Zettour
    Ah. I'm starting to see what you're saying.
[08:33] Tanya
    An intellectual conversation,
    spent establishing a common understanding.
[08:37] Tanya
    This is wonderful.
[08:40] Tanya
    Thus, the interference of
    other countries is inevitable.
[08:43] Tanya
    It may begin with monetary loans
    to the Republic
[08:45] Tanya
    and eventually lead to the sharing
    of weapons or volunteer forces.
[08:48] Zettour
    An interesting opinion.
[08:50] Zettour
    How would you handle it?
[08:51] Tanya
    I would try to start talks at an early stage.
[08:54] Tanya
    If that fails, I would focus on limiting
    our own resource expenditure.
[08:57] Tanya
    Now, this is how you give a presentation.
[09:00] Tanya
    It's one of the best parts of being an adult.
[09:02] Zettour
    In other words,
[09:04] Zettour
    you wouldn't try to win?
[09:06] Tanya
    Crap!
[09:08] Tanya
    Not good!
[09:09] Tanya
    Really not good!
[09:10] Tanya
    I want to shoot myself in my stupid mouth!
[09:12] Tanya
    Th-That may be what I said,
[09:15] Tanya
    but by limiting our losses
    while shedding enemy blood,
[09:18] Tanya
    I believe the Empire would
    win in the long run.
[09:23] Zettour
    Do you have a practical plan?
[09:25] Tanya
    Cowards get the worst front-line jobs.
[09:28] Tanya
    I need to say something
    as brave as possible!
[09:31] Tanya
    I would suggest a combination
[09:33] Tanya
    of defensive infantry tactics and
    offensive strategies with mages.
[09:36] Zettour
    Mages are powerful,
    but there aren't many of them.
[09:40] Zettour
    They aren't good for capturing enemy bases.
[09:43] Tanya
    I agree.
[09:44] Tanya
    However,
[09:45] Tanya
    mages excel in firepower and agility.
[09:48] Tanya
    They're ideal for hunting enemy forces.
[09:51] Tanya
    This is it! This is where I must
    show my aggressiveness!
[09:54] Tanya
    Without national power and human resources,
    no country can maintain a war.
[10:00] Tanya
    In the sense that you win the battle
    while limiting your losses,
[10:05] Tanya
    you could call it a loss-restriction doctrine.
[10:08] Tanya
    I believe this may be the best use of mages.
[10:13] Zettour
    Interesting.
[10:14] Tanya
    I made it through!
[10:16] Tanya
    That speech even surprised me!
[10:18] Tanya
    Once the war ends, maybe I should go
    for some kind of legal certification.
[10:23] Zettour
    And?
[10:23] Zettour
    If we wanted to put this into practice,
[10:26] Zettour
    how large a force of mages
    would you need?
[10:29] Tanya
    I... I believe a battalion
    would be sufficient.
[10:32] Tanya
    That would strain resources less
    and meet the minimum for combat value.
[10:36] Tanya
    If you wanted a trial run,
    it would be the best option.
[10:40] Zettour
    I see.
[10:41] Zettour
    I'll look into it.
[10:43] Zettour
    Put together a formal proposal.
[10:46] Tanya
    R-Roger!
[10:48] Tanya
    Excuse me!
[11:09] Erich
    W-World war?
[11:11] Erich
    An all-out war involving the entire country?
[11:17] Erich
    The author's identity is confidential.
[11:19] Erich
    But this paper was given to me by Zettour.
[11:23] Erich
    I'm sure you're busy inspecting
     all the various theaters.
[11:26] Erich
    But read it on the train or something.
[11:36] Erich
    A war of madness, which expends human
    lives as if they were just numbers...
[11:40] Erich
    And it'll continue until
    the country's collapse?
[11:44] Erich
    But why?
[11:46] Erich
    Why can't I say it's impossible?
[11:48] Erich
    What is this strange feeling I have?
[11:51] Erich
    Also, the feeling I get from
    this logic and writing...
[11:55] Erich
    I recognize it!

    Is there something wrong, Captain?
[12:47] Uger
    First Lieutenant Degurechaff,
    this may be rude to ask,
[12:50] Uger
    but why did you volunteer for the military?
[12:54] Uger
    With your talents,
    you could have done anything.
[12:58] Uger
    So why?

    Then...
[13:09] Tanya
    My mother abandoned me,

    and I became an orphan.
[13:13] Tanya
    There was nothing for me to do

    But... I don't know how to say this...
[13:19] Uger
    You're still a child.
[13:21] Uger

    When I look at you,
[13:41] Uger
    I ask myself if my own daughter
    will have to go to war.
[13:46] Uger
    Sending cute little kids to
    the battlefield is insane.
[13:51] Uger
    Don't you think so?
[13:54] Tanya
    Captain, you're a nice person.
[13:57] Tanya
    You're rational, and you have a conscience.
[14:00] Uger
    But...
[14:02] Tanya
    But that's why you should get to the rear
    before the madness truly begins.
[14:07] Uger
    I... can't do that.
[14:10] Tanya
    Captain, you need to fight battles to live.
[14:15] Tanya
    So that your daughter isn't
    sent to the battlefield, too.
[14:21] Tanya
    Want to have lunch?

    The redeployment of our central

    has caused a lull in the battle.
[15:12] Zettour
    But it's also true that the forces in the

[15:17] Zettour
    It's critical that we reorganize
    and reinforce them.
[15:21] Zettour
    But doing a large-scale military
    reorganization now will be difficult.
[15:25] Zettour
    I'm well aware.
[15:28] Zettour
    And so, I want to suggest something else.
[15:31] Officer
    Do you have a plan?
[15:34] Zettour
    The creation of a new rapid-response force.
[15:37] Officer
    But that would create a force we aren't using.

[15:49] Officer
    that you and your people
    submitted a few days ago?
[15:52] Zettour
    Indeed.

[17:48] Officer
    I'm sure you know this,
[17:50] Officer
    but we've asked you here to discuss
    your post-graduation deployment.
[18:03] Tanya
    These are all safe stations
    within the Empire.
[18:06] Tanya
    And after two years of experience,
[18:08] Tanya
    I can join Strategic HQ, huh?
[18:11] Officer
    In light of your past exploits,
[18:13] Officer
    Personnel will not intervene
    in your selection.
[18:16] Officer
    Pick whichever you like.
[18:18] Tanya
    I have lots of good choices, don't I?
[18:20] Tanya
    I'm not sure.
[18:26] Tanya
    What's this?
[18:27] Officer
    There's actually another one
    from Strategic HQ.
[18:31] Officer
    I'll be on my way.
[18:33] Officer
    Good luck, Degurechaff.
[18:35] Tanya
    Yes, sir. Thank you, Colonel.
[18:37] Zettour
    Thank you, Colonel.
[18:50] Tanya
    The stuff from Personnel was just for show.
[18:52] Tanya
    I never had a choice.
[18:57] Zettour
    Knowing you, I'm sure you'd prefer
    we get right down to business.
[19:01] Zettour
    First Lieutenant Degurechaff,
[19:03] Zettour
    I intend to put you in charge of
    a new rapid-response mage battalion.
[19:09] Tanya
    A battalion?!
[19:12] Tanya
    I... I believe a battalion
    would be sufficient.
[19:17] Tanya
    Was that it?!
[19:19] Tanya
    Leading a rapid-response battalion is
    a bigger risk than the front lines!
[19:23] Zettour
    Due to its rapid-response nature,
    it would answer directly to Strategic HQ.
[19:28] Zettour
    Essentially, you would have
    no superior officer.
[19:30] Tanya
    B-But I'm only a first lieutenant.
[19:33] Tanya
    I'm not qualified to command a battalion.
[19:36] Zettour
    Don't worry. I'll put in an order to
    make you an organizer immediately.
[19:40] Tanya
    An organizer?
[19:42] Tanya
    The position of organizer has
    been obsolete for a long time,
[19:45] Tanya
    but it's still available.
[19:47] Tanya
    When you graduate, you'll be promoted
    to captain and become an organizer.
[19:51] Tanya
    And, once you've "organized" the battalion,
[19:53] Tanya
    we'll reward you by forcing through
    a promotion to major.
[19:55] Tanya
    I have all the preparations ready.
[20:06] Tanya
    That's a very enticing offer.
[20:08] Tanya
    Why?
[20:09] Tanya
    Why did this happen?
[20:12] Tanya
    So, how much time do I have to organize it?
[20:14] Zettour
    The sooner, the better.
[20:16] Zettour
    Pick up to forty-eight people
    of your choosing.
[20:19] Tanya
    Roger.
[20:21] Tanya
    I'll be going, then.
[20:23] Zettour
    Lieutenant...
[20:25] Zettour
    I'm told that you can be
    very difficult to work with.
[20:28] Zettour
    I don't question your ability,
    but you have a bad reputation.
[20:32] Zettour
    Keep that in mind.
[20:33] Tanya
    Thank you for your warning.
[20:36] Zettour
    Good luck!
[20:46] Zettour
    Sending a kid to war, huh?
[20:53] Tanya
    Damn it!
[20:54] Tanya
    I'll have to take as much time as possible
    with the selection process
[20:58] Tanya
    and delay our shipping out.

    Second Lieutenant Viktoriya Serebryakov,
[00:06] Visha
    reporting in as your assistant
    as per Strategic HQ orders.
[00:12] Tanya
    You're my assistant?
[00:15] Visha
    Yes.
[00:16] Visha
    It seems I was assigned this post because
    I already knew you, and we're both women.
[00:21] Tanya
    Gee, the brass sure is being
    awfully considerate.
[00:24] Tanya
    Belated congratulations on your promotion,
    Second Lieutenant.
[00:28] Visha
    Thank you!
[00:29] Visha
    I'll get to work right away, then!
[00:33] Tanya
    Don't bother. This isn't something
    two people can handle.
[00:37] Visha
    Don't worry.
[00:38] Visha
    I've already spoken with Garrison Command.
[00:40] Visha
    They'll send dozens of unoccupied
    MPs and other personnel.
[00:44] Tanya
    What?
[00:45] Visha
    I wanted to contribute to clearing
    the organization work as fast as possible.
[00:49] Tanya
    Having an assistant who's too talented
    is also a problem.
[00:52] Tanya
    I should have left her on the Rhine Front!
[01:04] ---
    First Lieutenant Aisha Schubert, reporting in.
[01:08] ---
    First Lieutenant Klein Balhelm, likewise.
[01:11] ---
    Good to see you.
[01:12] ---
    I am Colonel Gregorio von Turner, head of

[01:17] ---
    You are to head to

    But that's the fourteenth pair.
[02:02] Tanya
    Jeez...
[02:04] Tanya
    I was sure at least four of them would pass.

    Actually, Strategic HQ just sent a demand
    that we speed up the selection.
SIGN    Episode 5 My First Battalion
[02:17] ---
    So the creation of the mage battalion
    is nothing but propaganda?
[02:21] ---
    And I'm supposed to shut up and leave?
[02:23] ---
    Sorry.
[02:24] ---
    I'm glad to see you're so ambitious.
[02:26] ---
    If there's another opportunity,
    please volunteer.
[02:30] ---
    I understand.
[02:32] ---
    Excuse me.
[02:40] Tanya
    It's an illusion created by
    a normal optical spell,
[02:43] Tanya
    and the voice is a magical synthetic.
[02:48] ---
    I can see why you keep failing people.
[02:52] Tanya
    A mage should be able to
    see through this easily.
[02:56] Tanya
    But out of thirty-nine sets,
[02:59] Tanya
    thirty-three have been deceived and
    sent back to their home units.
[03:04] Tanya
    Only twelve people have passed.
[03:06] Tanya
    That's only enough for a company.
[03:09] ---
    You'll have to lower
    the standards for passing.
[03:11] Tanya
    Then I'll need time for reeducation
    and to devise an acceptable new standard.
[03:17] ---
    How long, exactly?
[03:20] Tanya
    A month.
[03:23] ---
    Only a month?
[03:24] ---
    Training a new soldier takes two years.
[03:28] Zettour
    I don't care.
[03:29] Zettour
    Reeducate them, even if you
    have to get a little rough.

[03:49] ---
    What happened?
[03:52] ---
    I-It's so cold...
[03:54] Visha
    I figured this would happen.
[03:57] Tanya
    There's your wake-up call!
[03:58] Tanya
    No need for thanks!
[04:01] Tanya
    I got word that the artillery unit
    running exercises in this area
[04:05] Tanya
    had old shells they needed to dispose of.
[04:09] Tanya
    Let's give them a chance for some fun.
[04:14] Tanya
    Also, I'm very sorry to say this,
[04:16] Tanya
    but they don't have much ammo
    stored for the exercise...
[04:20] Tanya
    They'll run dry in about
    thirty-six hours, maximum.
[04:25] ---
    Th-Thirty-six hours?
[04:28] Tanya
    Let's begin!
[04:30] Tanya
    Time to start defensive training!
[04:46] ---
    R-Retreat!
[04:50] ---
    Hurry!
[04:51] ---
    Move your hands!
[04:56] ---
    We should be able to block
    training shells with magic—
[05:01] Tanya
    That's strange.
[05:03] Tanya
    I guess they screwed something up,
    'cause real shells are mixed in there.
[05:07] Visha
    Did...
[05:08] Visha
    Did you have to go that far?!
[05:11] ---
    They're coming!
[05:12] ---
    Concentrate!
[05:15] ---
    Get down...
[05:18] ---
    Dodge...
[05:39] ---
    It's over.
[05:41] Visha
    I hope so...
[05:45] Tanya
    Those thirty-six hours just flew by, huh?
[05:48] Tanya
    Knowing you're all warriors,
    you haven't had enough fun yet, right?
[05:53] Tanya
    And so,
[05:55] Tanya
    it's time for you to move to the next point.
[05:59] Tanya
    You have forty-eight hours.
[06:01] Tanya
    No defensive spells or flight magic.
[06:04] Tanya
    If I detect any magic, I'll launch
    a magical artillery strike of my own!
[06:08] Tanya
    I'll give you one warning.
[06:11] Tanya
    Be very careful on your way.

[06:42] ---
    What's that?
[06:45] ---

[06:48] Visha
    We should probably go around them.
[06:58] ---
    N-Nothing's really happening.
[07:01] ---
    Was she just trying to scare us?
[07:03] Visha
    It's possible...
[07:05] Visha
    Knowing the captain, it's totally possible.
[07:10] ---
    Damn it.
[07:11] ---
    She's rotten to the core!
[07:14] ---
    That bitch!
[07:26] ---
    Retreat! Retreat!
[07:48] ---
    H-Help me.
[07:49] ---

[08:02] Tanya
    Now you're napping during training, huh?
[08:07] Tanya
    Want to face a firing squad
    for dereliction of duty?
[08:10] ---
    Hang in there!
[08:10] ---
    Hey!
[08:11] ---
    Are you okay? Breathe!
[08:13] ---
    Hey!
[08:14] Visha
    N-No...
[08:18] ---
    Too useless to even dodge an avalanche—
[08:24] Visha
    C-Captain, that's going too far!
[08:31] Visha
    H-He came back to life?
[08:34] ---
    I can't believe it.
[08:35] ---
    That isn't human...
[08:38] ---
    If I try and drop out,
[08:41] ---
    I'll meet a fate worse than death.
[08:48] Tanya
    So that's all of you?
[08:50] Tanya
    Even though this was unexpected,
    training is training.
[08:54] Tanya
    At this rate, you'll never reach the
    designated point before time expires.
[08:58] Tanya
    If you're going to quit, then now is—
[09:01] ---
    I will continue the training!
[09:06] ---
    Me, too.
[09:07] ---
    Leave it to me.
[09:07] ---
    And me.
[09:08] ---
    I can keep going.
[09:09] ---
    Let me do it.
[09:10] ---
    Hurry!

[10:57] Tanya
    Thank you.
[10:58] Tanya
    I've heard your name many times.
[11:01] Tanya
    I thought you were inspecting
    the forces in theater?
[11:05] Erich
    Yes, I returned a few days ago.
[11:10] Tanya
    Is something wrong?
[11:11] Erich
    No, nothing.
[11:13] Tanya
    I'll ask you a question, then.
[11:16] Tanya
    This order says we are to depart at once
    for the southeastern garrison,
[11:20] Tanya
    and it's given the highest priority level.
[11:23] Erich
    I was told your 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion
    had been assembled.
[11:28] Tanya
    But we're still basically a training battalion.
[11:31] Tanya
    I'd like six months, at least,
    to get everyone trained.
[11:35] Erich
    The inspector said
[11:37] Erich
    they had reached the level where
    they could be deployed immediately.
[11:40] Erich
    All of them are using prototypes of
    next-generation Elenium Type-97.
[11:46] Erich
    And they have completed
    adaptation training at 8,000 meters?
[11:50] Tanya
    I just got them the requisite equipment
    to balance their fighting strength.
[11:55] Tanya
    Engineer Schugel owed me a favor.
[11:58] Erich
    Our military has nothing to spare!
[12:01] Erich
    To the west, the Rhine theater is a stalemate,
[12:04] Erich
    and we haven't finished things in the north.
[12:06] Tanya
    That's why I'm so confused...
[12:08] Tanya
    Why are we being deployed to
    the southeastern garrison?
[12:12] Erich
    It was Strategic Headquarters' decision,
    after my inspection of various theaters.
[12:19] Tanya
    Understood.
[12:21] Erich
    If you'll excuse me now.
[12:26] Erich
    Oh, right...
[12:28] Erich
    This is just a personal bit of advice,
[12:31] Erich
    but since you are headed to
    the southeastern garrison,
[12:34] Erich
    why not take the opportunity
    to learn Dakian?
[12:38] Erich
    Dakian?
[12:45] Tanya

[13:28] ---

    Unencrypted?!
[13:37] Tanya
    Those must be fake...
[13:39] Tanya
    I can't believe the enemy has no air forces.
[13:42] ---
    But all communications we've picked up
    in the area are the same type,
[13:46] ---
    so that should be accurate.

[15:11] Tanya
    All battalion soldiers, move out.
[15:14] Tanya
    Teach them what war is all about.
[15:17] Tanya
    Bring the hammer of civilization
    down upon them!
[15:20] All
    Roger!
[15:23] ---
    Advance!
[15:24] ---
    Don't break formation!
[15:35] ---
    A live-fire exercise is
    an apt way to describe this.
[15:38] ---
    It's basically a bunch of scarecrows.
[15:41] ---
    If we miss, we'll be a laughingstock.
[15:42] ---
    Penetrating spells... Fire!
[15:51] ---
    Sheesh, we can't let them beat us.
[15:54] ---
    Follow their lead.
[15:55] ---
    Prepare artillery spell!
[15:57] ---
    Fire!
[16:00] Tanya
    Well, this sucks.
[16:02] Tanya
    I have nothing to do.
[16:03] Visha
    I was sure this would be a tough battle.
[16:09] Tanya
    What, scared of a mere three divisions?
[16:12] Tanya
    It's hard to believe you survived the Rhine.
[16:15] Visha
    Major, um...
[16:17] Visha
    Three divisions is a lot!
[16:20] Visha
    I've thought this before, but your idea of
    what constitutes a threat is a little...
[16:25] Tanya
    A little what?
[16:26] Visha
    Oh! It's nothing!
[16:29] Tanya
    I'm sorry, Second Lieutenant Serebryakov.
[16:32] Tanya
    Looks like you're right.
[16:34] Visha
    Um, I'm sorry?
[16:36] Tanya
    We should define them as a horde or mob,
    a little under 50,000 strong.
[16:42] Tanya
    I can see why calling them "divisions"
    could lead to misunderstandings.
[16:46] Tanya
    How silly of me...
[16:53] Tanya
    Well, it's the first world war in this world.
[16:58] Tanya
    Few soldiers truly understand
    the threat that air power represents.
[17:08] Tanya
    What's that?
[17:10] Tanya
    What are they doing?
[17:13] Visha
    I believe they're lining up to fire a volley.
[17:16] Tanya
    You're kidding.
[17:17] Tanya
    What year do they think this is?
[17:19] Tanya
    This isn't the era of cavalry.
[17:22] Tanya
    Lieutenant Weiss?
[17:24] Tanya
    Why are you falling back?
[17:26] Tanya
    Why are you breaking attack formation?
[17:28] Visha
    Enemy infantry has gotten
    into AA formation.
[17:32] Visha
    So as doctrine dictates, he's trying to
    fall back to the limits of his range—
[17:36] Tanya
    Doctrine? That idiot can't
    act without a manual?
[17:38] Tanya
    Does he really think an infantry
    bullet can hit a flying mage?
[17:44] Tanya
    If any mage is shot down by one,
    I'll kill him before the enemy does!
[17:50] Tanya
    Very well! We'll join in, too!
[17:52] Tanya
    Company, follow me!
[17:55] ---
    Th-The enemy!
[17:56] ---
    Fire! Fire!
[18:02] ---
    That isn't fair!
[18:04] ---
    Come down!
[18:05] Tanya
    Man, I didn't expect I'd be unable
    to even hear the machine guns.
[18:10] Tanya
    Drop grenades!
[18:18] Tanya
    It's so strange.
[18:20] Tanya
    Aren't we the ones being invaded?
[18:23] Tanya
    Jeez, what a bunch of morons.
[18:35] Visha
    This looks like the invading army's
    real HQ, not a decoy.
[18:40] Tanya
    They're broadcasting communications in
    the clear, without even dropping output?
[18:43] Tanya
    I'm starting to think we actually mowed
    down a bunch of tourists, not soldiers.
[18:51] ---
    Y-You bastards!
[18:53] Tanya
    Welcome to the Empire.
[18:55] Tanya
    What is the purpose of your visit?
    Do you have a visa?
[18:59] ---
    Sh-Shut up!
[19:03] Tanya
    No visas?
[19:05] Tanya
    Would you like to enter the country
    as prisoners of war, then?
[19:09] ---
    K-Kill them all!
[19:10] ---
    Fire!
[19:14] Visha
    This is a waste of time, huh?
[19:15] Tanya
    Yeah.
[19:16] Tanya
    Kill them all, except the commander.
[19:18] Visha
    Yes, ma'am.
[19:29] Tanya
    Presents for Strategic Headquarters.
[19:31] Tanya
    Take everything but the bodies!
[19:33] Tanya
    Hey, you.
[19:34] Tanya
    Put a booby trap on that corpse.
[19:37] Tanya
    Has the unit rendezvoused?
[19:40] ---
    Yes.
[19:41] ---
    Shall we wipe out the remaining troops?
[19:43] Tanya
    Where are our allied air fleets?
[19:45] ---
    The 7th Air Fleet will arrive shortly.
[19:48] ---
    As soon as they've reloaded their bombs,
    they'll launch a full-scale attack.
[19:51] Tanya
    Then we'll let our allies annihilate
    the enemy, and we'll advance.
[19:56] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[19:57] ---
    Where will we go?
[19:59] Tanya
    The capital.
[20:01] ---
    The capital?
[20:03] Tanya
    Forward... Farther forward.
[20:06] Tanya
    Let's try this, and see how far we can go.
[20:10] Tanya
    Our battalion is capable of moving forward.
[20:21] Tanya
    Target sighted.
[20:23] Tanya
    Looks like a Republic-backed arms factory.
[20:27] Tanya
    It's probably filled with flammables.
[20:30] Visha
    But I don't see any air defense.
[20:35] Tanya
    No...
[20:36] Tanya
    They're using last century's paradigm.
[20:38] Tanya
    They seem to still be living in
    two dimensions.
[20:41] Visha
    This is our chance. Let's attack.
[20:44] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant,
[20:45] Tanya
    we aren't the kind of barbarians
    who'd ignore international wartime law.
[20:51] Tanya
    In adherence to the laws the ethicists made,
[20:53] Tanya
    we must destroy nothing but the enemy factory
    and warn them to evacuate.
[20:58] Visha
    But, Major, we'll lose the chance
    for a surprise attack.
[21:02] Tanya
    First Lieutenant Weiss...
[21:03] Tanya
    I saw this earlier, but you play
    by the book a little too much.
[21:07] Visha
    I-I'm sorry!
[21:09] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant,
    give the warning immediately.
[21:11] Tanya
    On the international channel,
    just like the rules say.
[21:14] Visha
    But, um... You're sure you want me to?
[21:25] Tanya
    Oh...
[21:26] Tanya
    Yeah. Looks like it would be better for me to.
[21:33] Tanya
    Instructor! We swear that
    we will conduct a fair war,
[21:39] Tanya
    in accordance with international law!
[21:45] Tanya
    We warn you now!
[21:46] Tanya
    The Imperial Army is about to launch
    an attack on your military facility!
[21:52] Visha
    Wonderful!
[21:53] Visha
    They seem to think it's a kid's prank!
[21:57] Vanguard
    I didn't know you had
    theater experience, Major!
[22:04] Tanya
    Now, everyone,
[22:05] Tanya
    we have fulfilled our duty
    under international law.
[22:08] Tanya
    Let's get to work.
[22:10] Tanya
    All units, prepare ultra-long-range spells!
[22:14] Vanguard
    Target the Carbelius Weapons Factory!
[22:17] Vanguard
    All companies, match your
    fire to the commander's.
[22:34] Tanya
    In God's name, bring down his wrath on
    all who would violate the Fatherland.
[22:40] Tanya
    Manifest the miracles of God on Earth.
[22:44] Tanya
    Open fire!
[22:56] Visha
    Sixteen direct hits.
[22:57] Visha
    The rest are near hits.
[22:58] Tanya
    Hmm, not bad.
[23:06] Vanguard
    Secondary explosions!
[23:08] Vanguard
    Wow.
[23:09] Tanya
    Tamaya!
[23:12] Tanya
    Just an expression of joy.
    Don't worry about it.
[23:16] Tanya
    Looks like we owe Dakia big time.
[23:18] Tanya
    Not only did they help with
    our live-fire exercise,
[23:22] Tanya
    but they even treated us to a
    post-exercise fireworks show.
[23:25] Tanya
    Halt! We've achieved our objective!
[23:28] Tanya
    Now, let's head back, my battalion.

SIGN    Several Days After the Battle with the Dukedom of Dakia
[00:02] Erich
    The southern region reports that,
[00:04] Erich
    with the 7th Air Fleet's aid, we have
    broken through the Dakian central lines.
[00:11] Erich
    We are now beginning a mop-up operation
[00:15] Erich
    to cut the enemy's comms lines
    and destroy them.
[00:18] ---
    Overwhelming a force of 600,000
    with only 70,000?
[00:21] ---
    Splendid.
[00:24] ---
    We should be able to occupy Dakia by winter.
[00:30] Zettour
    But our country still fights on two fronts.
[00:38] Erich
    The Republic and the Entente Alliance.
[00:41] Erich
    There's a lull in the fighting
    in both theaters, but...
[00:45] ---
    We are worrying about a world war.
[00:48] ---
    The fewer fronts we must
    fight on, the better.
[00:56] ---
    Our only choice is to start wiping out
    the weaker enemies, like Dakia.
[01:02] Erich
    We attack the Entente Alliance, then?
[01:04] ---
    They're probably more fragile
    than the Republic.
[01:07] ---
    The problem is supply.
[01:10] ---
    Our supplies in the central Norden Region...
[01:13] Zettour
    I'd like a little time to stock
    supplies before an assault.
[01:18] Zettour
    The snow's slowing railway development.
[01:23] Erich
    We've known each other a
    long time. Out with it.
[01:27] Zettour
    We're already taxing the northern rail
    and port systems to their limits.
[01:33] Zettour
    No dramatic change can be
    effected in a short time.
[01:38] Zettour
    Making it through winter is all we
    can do with our current supplies.
[01:42] Zettour
    We don't have any to spare for an offensive.
[01:48] Erich
    I get that our current
    supply lines have issues.
[01:53] Erich
    But I have a suggestion.
[01:57] Erich
    I would like to use your ace in the hole...
[02:00] Erich
    The 203rd Battalion,
     which attacked the Dakian capital.
SIGN    Imperial Army Southeastern Theater, Military Garrison 5
[02:13] ---
    Attention!
[02:16] Tanya
    Good work in Dakia, everyone.
[02:19] Tanya
    As I'm sure you've already heard,
    the 203rd has received a transfer order.
[02:26] Tanya
    We're heading north, to Norden.
[02:28] ---
    First the south, then the north.
[02:30] ---
    No rest for the weary.
[02:31] ---
    It's perfect. I've been wanting to ski.
[02:33] Tanya
    We were always intended as
    a rapid-response force,
[02:36] Tanya
    but it looks like HQ wants to
    work us like draft horses...
[02:41] Tanya
    I'm sure they have quite the carrot for us.
[02:46] Tanya
    But horses aren't lucky enough
    to get food for free.
[02:52] Tanya
    Strategic HQ specifically requested us.
[02:55] Tanya
    Our opponent in this snowball fight is
[02:57] Tanya
    the Triple Entente, which has launched
    several attacks on our territory.
[03:01] Tanya
    We're expected to test a new type of tactic.
[03:05] Tanya
    We have to show them that our battalion
    has its act together enough for hiking.
[03:10] Tanya
    Do not forget your duty as soldiers!
[03:14] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:15] Tanya
    Good...
[03:16] Tanya
    We will now relay to you the orders from HQ.
[03:20] Tanya
    Lieutenant Weiss.
[03:23] ---
    At 1800, we will start the long,
    overnight journey north.
[03:28] Visha
    Major, about the flight plan to Norden...
[03:31] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant Serebryakov,
    don't you think it's strange?
[03:35] Visha
    Wh-What is?
[03:38] Tanya
    Even without the central forces,
[03:40] Tanya
    we should be more than capable of
    defeating the Entente Alliance.
[03:45] Tanya
    That war should've been over by now.
[03:48] Tanya
    That means someone is poking
    their nose where it doesn't belong.
[03:52] Visha
    One of the other major powers
    is intervening?
[03:55] Tanya
    Yeah.
[03:56] Tanya
    The Republic... The Allied Kingdom...
[04:00] Tanya
    Perhaps both.
[04:02] Tanya
    But the whole world will be
    watching as we go hiking.
[04:07] Visha
    Understood.
[04:08] Visha
    I'll pass it on.
[04:12] Tanya
    I knew a world war was a possibility,
    but things are moving faster than I expected.
[04:17] Tanya
    Dakia's sudden invasion was also inexplicable.
[04:21] Tanya
    It's possible...
[04:23] Tanya
    That the insane, self-proclaimed "God"
    is using his invisible hand here.

    It's still in the early stages,

[04:41] ---
    but we've begun the process
    of working with our allies.
[04:44] ---
    That is good to hear.
[04:47] ---
    But aren't they afraid that
    we'll end up like Dakia?
[04:51] ---
    They're afraid that we'll fall,
[04:52] ---
    and then the Empire can direct
    its full force toward the Republic.
[04:56] ---
    That news makes us sound pitiful.
[04:59] ---
    Not only the Republic,
    but the Allied Kingdom will aid us, too.
[05:04] ---
    They've also begun secretly
    monitoring the Empire.
[05:08] ---
    I'm envious they have resources to spare.
[05:12] ---
    We have nothing left to spare at all.
[05:16] ---
    We're forced to ask the other
    major powers for aid.
[05:19] ---
    It's pathetic,
[05:21] ---
    but we have few other options.
[05:25] ---

    There are more of them, too.

[06:36] ---
    Emergency message from

    Observation teams have spotted
    two company-sized units of mages.
[06:41] ---
    Additional forces?
[06:42] ---
    Where were they hiding until now?
[06:45] ---
    We've confirmed foreign mages
    of unknown nationality.

    Contact lost with forward units!

    M-Multiple bombers sighted.
[07:21] ---
    Send interceptors immediately!
[07:24] ---
    Wait five minutes.
[07:25] ---
    We'll discuss it with command.
[07:26] ---
    Can you intercept?
[07:27] ---
    Hell no!
[07:28] ---
    Our altitudes are too different.
[07:30] ---
    And we haven't wiped out
    the enemy mages!
[07:36] ---
    That base holds mountains of our supplies.
[07:38] ---
    If it's bombed, we won't last the winter.
[07:41] ---
    Please... Just hang in there.
[07:44] ---
    Bombers are at an altitude over 9,000.
[07:49] ---
    Only fighters can go that high.
[07:53] ---
    Not good.
[07:54] ---
    We'll be wiped out!
[07:57] ---
    What? Is that true?
[07:59] ---

    there isn't any need to wait for me.

[09:45] ---
    No, it's still increasing!
[09:47] ---
    What?
[09:48] ---
    It must be some mistake.
[09:50] ---
    Those are mages, not fighter planes.

    They're certain. Present altitude is 8,500.

    Speed is 300!
[09:57] ---
    Is their gear working?
[09:59] ---
    They're working fine.
[10:01] ---
    Everything is working properly.
[10:03] ---
    I can't believe it.
[10:04] ---
    It seems Strategic HQ had an
    unexpected ace up its sleeve.
[10:15] ---
    Prepare for close-quarters combat!
[10:17] ---
    We'll wipe out the enemy's forward units!
[10:26] ---
    The enemy's computation jewels
    are better than expected.
[10:29] ---
    Don't get cocky!
[10:37] ---
    They're fast.
[10:43] ---
    They can hit accurately with
    this altitude difference?
[10:46] ---
    Seems like it's those foreign mages.
[10:48] ---
    They're tougher than we'd thought.
[10:51] Tanya
    So, everyone, how are you
    enjoying a real war?
[10:55] Tanya
    The other day's battle against Dakia
    was just a live-fire exercise.
[10:59] Tanya
    I want to let you fight
    to your heart's content this time,
[11:02] Tanya
    so I turned down reinforcements.
[11:04] Tanya
    Be proud. You've been given a chance
    to pass a trial of iron and fire.
[11:09] Tanya
    Our battle is being watched
    by the other major powers
[11:12] Tanya
    and the entire world.
[11:14] Tanya
    Our nation's honor is at stake,
    and failure isn't permitted!
[11:17] ---
    That's just like the major...
[11:20] Tanya
    Also, the company that contributes least
[11:23] Tanya
    will pay for the post-victory celebration.
[11:26] Tanya
    I ordered some fine
    twenty-five-year-old booze.
[11:29] Tanya
    If you don't want to go bankrupt, fight hard.
[11:33] ---
    Company 2, maximum altitude!
[11:35] ---
    Everyone, fly like death's at your heels!
[11:37] ---
    Don't bankrupt me!
[11:42] Visha
    All companies are fighting hard.
[11:44] Tanya
    It's hard to show off how good
    a commander you are.
[11:52] Visha
    It's them! The bombers!
[11:55] Tanya
    They're finally here, huh?
[12:06] ---
    Enemy mage company below us.
[12:09] ---
    Twelve of them. Altitude 6,500.
[12:11] ---
    What do we do?
[12:12] ---
    Leave them to the rear mage units.
[12:15] ---
    We're too high up for them to do anything.
[12:20] Visha
    Enemy escorts are here, too.
[12:22] Visha
    Two mage companies.
[12:27] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant, lead the
    company and take them out.
[12:30] Tanya
    Sorry, but I'm taking all those for myself.
[12:33] Visha
    A-All those bombers?
[12:36] Tanya
    I actually want to become the air force's
    ace, too, and this is my big chance.
[12:41] Visha
    I'm afraid you'd need to do it in a plane
    to stand any chance, ma'am.
[12:44] Tanya
    Really?
[12:45] Tanya
    I wish I could go back and get one, then.
[12:49] Tanya
    But I guess I can't turn
    my back on them now.
[12:53] Tanya
    Don't want them thinking I retreated
    when I faced the enemy.
[12:56] Tanya
    Guess I'll work enough to earn my salary.
[13:04] Visha
    Company 1, we're advancing!
[13:10] ---
    O-One mage incoming!
[13:12] ---
    One mage?
[13:13] ---
    Impossible!
[13:14] ---
    That's suicide.
[13:15] ---
    S-Speed is 250.
[13:17] ---
    Altitude is 7,500.
[13:18] ---
    What?
[13:20] ---
    They're still climbing!
[13:22] Tanya
    I'm up against some slow,
    heavy chunks of steel.
[13:25] Tanya
    I won't be able to dance with them.
[13:27] ---
    Altitude 8,000... 8,500.
[13:30] ---
    At this rate, she'll match us!
[13:32] ---
    Climb!
[13:33] ---
    Everyone, lay down some fire!
[13:39] ---
    She's too fast!
[13:40] Tanya
    It's only times like this when
    I'm happy to have this tiny body.
[13:44] ---
    A-Altitude is 10,000!
[13:45] ---
    Who is this girl?
[13:47] ---
    Damn it... Hit her! Hit her!
[13:52] ---
    Stop.
[13:53] ---
    Don't fire randomly!
[13:54] ---
    Calm down and aim—
[13:59] Tanya
    Good day, gentlemen.
[14:02] Tanya
    And goodbye.
[14:14] ---
    The formation leader's plane...
[14:15] ---
    C-Call off the mission!
[14:17] ---
    Turn around, fast!
[14:18] ---
    Release all bombs and lighten the planes!
[14:30] Tanya
    This is as easy as hitting
    fixed-gun emplacements.
[14:33] Tanya
    Lord, hear my prayer,
[14:37] Tanya
    and grant my desire.
[14:43] Tanya
    Bring down the hammer of
    your wrath from Heaven.
[14:57] ---
    Mayday! Mayday!
[14:59] ---
    This is—
[15:10] Tanya
    Pixie 01 to all units.
[15:13] Tanya
    The metal birds are
    heading back to their nest.
[15:16] Tanya
    Begin your pincer attack
    on the remaining mages.
[15:19] Tanya
    I'm going to recover prisoners
    from the prey I shot down.
[15:41] Tanya
    I wanted to get some information from them,
[15:44] Tanya
    but I can't just cut out their brain
    and take it.
[15:53] ---
    It's a joyous thing.
[16:05] ---
    Everyone in this world is out for
    your blood, you of so little faith.
[16:11] ---
    A great crusade to punish
    the blasphemer has begun.
[16:16] Tanya
    Being X...
[16:18] Tanya
    I knew you were screwing with me!
[16:21] ---
    How does it feel to fight the entire world?
[16:32] Tanya
    Damn it!
[16:33] Tanya
    I'll show you!

    It's the named mage we saw in the west.

[16:49] ---
    So she's real?

[16:51] ---

[16:59] ---
    She took out those bombers by herself.
[17:02] ---
    She really is a devil.
[17:04] ---
    You have the recorded data, right?
[17:07] ---
    Yes, no problem.
[17:08] ---
    What about communications intercept?
[17:10] ---
    Unfortunately, they used an unknown
    encryption algorithm...
[17:15] ---
    I'd love to put up a control plane,
[17:18] ---
    but our priority now is taking
    this equipment back, huh?
[17:23] ---
    It's from Alpha Unit.
[17:26] ---
    The named is emitting a powerful
    magical-energy signal.
[17:29] Tanya
    Your light is like the morning sun.
[17:32] ---
    All right.
[17:33] ---
    This is our chance for good data.
[17:34] Tanya
    Use it to illuminate the darkness,
    hidden in the ground.
[17:38] ---
    What is she doing?
[17:40] ---
    I can't even imagine.
[17:44] ---
    Turn off power to the equipment!
[17:46] ---
    She's tracked us back!
[17:47] Tanya
    Praise the Lord, who is now born unto us!
[17:52] ---
    I-I've detected an artillery spell!
[17:54] ---
    Does she realize how far away she is?

    Observation waves are gone.
[18:13] Visha
    Splendid work, Major.
[18:18] Visha

    Congratulations on your promotion.
[20:46] ---
    Don't be stupid.
[20:47] ---
    You can tell where our country's headed
    by the fact that I was promoted
[20:50] ---
    because my superior officer was killed.
[20:53] ---
    If you survive till next year,

[00:41] Man
    I'm aware of my deficiencies as a human.
[00:45] Man
    My personality is twisted in various ways,
    and I have every complex imaginable.
[00:50] Narrator
    But...
[00:51] Narrator
    Obeying company rules is
    the easiest thing in the world.
[00:55] Narrator
    I can ride the rails right to

    And life will become nice and easy.
[01:07] Narrator
    At least, that was the plan...
[01:12] Narrator
    What?
[01:14] Narrator
    What happened?
[01:17] Narrator
    Apparently, you lack faith.
[01:20] Narrator
    And not a trace of faith in the Creator.
[01:24] Narrator
    The Creator?
[01:26] Narrator
    I'm sorry to say this,

[01:34] Narrator
    In a world with advanced science,

    They're treating me like an ace.

    Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,
    here are your deployment orders.
[05:04] ---
    Head to the General Supply Staff.
[05:07] ---
    Is this for technology testing?
[05:11] ---
    Yes, they need you to test
    a new type of computation jewel.
[05:15] ---
    I understand.
[05:18] ---
    My long-held dream of a safe,
    rear-echelon deployment...
[05:22] ---
    No, there wasn't going to be
    any problem at all.
[05:26] ---
    Elenium Type-95?
[05:28] ---
    By synchronizing four computation jewel cores,
[05:31] ---
    this prototype grants revolutionary abilities.
[05:34] ---
    It uses tremendous magical energy,
[05:36] ---
    but with the amount you have,
    that shouldn't be a problem.
[05:39] ---
    There are all kinds of problems!
[05:41] ---
    These crystals aren't stable at all.
[05:43] ---
    If this keeps up, they'll explode again!
[05:44] ---
    If this keeps up, they'll explode again!
[05:46] ---
    Can't you go any higher?!
[05:48] ---
    Doctor?!
[05:50] ---
    Theoretically, you should be able
    to reach 18,000 meters!
[05:54] ---
    A standard computation jewel's
    maximum altitude is 6,000!
[05:57] ---
    The load is within acceptable parameters!
[05:59] ---
    Those are theoretical numbers!
[06:01] ---
    For use as military-grade items,
    keep durability in mind!
[06:05] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:06] ---
    That would ruin the jewel's
    optimized synchronization!
[06:09] ---
    I don't know when this
    defective junk will explode!
[06:19] ---
    I am done with this crap!
[06:20] ---
    This thing's as defective as
    an Italian Red Devil!
[06:25] ---
    And after ten years,
    I was reunited with Being X.
[06:32] ---
    This is a serious problem.
[06:35] ---
    You haven't developed even
    the tiniest bit of faith.
[06:38] ---
    B-Being X...
[06:41] ---
    Indeed.
[06:42] ---
    Your attitude is as unacceptable as ever.
[06:45] ---
    Perhaps I should give you a blessing.
[06:49] ---
    A blessing?
[06:53] ---
    A miracle.
[06:54] ---
    Miracles are illusions caused by
    insufficient observation and understanding.

[07:50] ---
    Let us both pray to God!
[07:54] ---
    You set me up, Being X!
[08:05] ---
    I have blessed your computation jewel
[08:07] ---
    and performed a miracle.
[08:09] ---
    A miracle?
[08:10] ---
    You call strapping a bomb to me a miracle?!
[08:14] ---
    Now, you must pray to God
[08:16] ---
    each time you use your computation jewel.
[08:20] ---

[08:22] ---
    Go now,

SIGN    Unified Year 1924, Rhine Theater
[09:25] ---
    With the double-edged sword called
    the Elenium-95 and a bunch of raw recruits,
[09:31] ---
    I was sent west to fight on
    the Rhine Theater's front lines.
[09:38] ---
    A mage?
[09:44] ---
    What are you doing, Visha?
[09:48] ---
    We can't provide air support anymore!
[09:58] ---
    An explosion spell...
[10:02] ---
    How much longer will reinforcements take?
[10:04] ---
    The 205th Mage Company is en route.
[10:07] ---
    Company Commander,
    we only have one platoon.
[10:10] ---
    We can't fight a whole company.
[10:13] ---
    Our enemy is on an exhausting,
    long-range mission.
[10:16] ---
    There's a good chance we can win.
[10:20] ---
    But I guess losing new troops already
    would hurt my promotion chances.
[10:27] ---
    You are to provide support.
[10:29] ---
    I'll go ahead and destroy three platoons.
[10:32] ---
    Man, it's rough being a salaryman.
[10:35] ---
    S-Salary...?
[10:38] ---
    I pray unto God.
[10:41] ---
    Lord, save my Fatherland.
[10:50] ---
    As the documents you see on
    Second Lieutenant Degurechaff state...
[10:54] ---
    After contributing to development
    of a new computation jewel,
[10:56] ---
    she was sent on emergency deployment
    to the Rhine theater.
[10:59] ---
    While in the Rhine theater, she wiped out
    an entire enemy mage company on her own.
[11:03] ---
    And she's still carrying out
    assault missions there?
[11:09] ---
    She's the ideal soldier.
[11:15] Tanya
    "Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,
    you are hereby promoted to First Lieutenant
[11:19] ---
    and are to attend the military academy."
[11:22] ---
    This is the second time I can remember
    that I've been to university...
[11:26] ---
    I'll get a nice easy job studying at the rear!
[11:31] ---
    Be seated.
[11:33] ---
    Yes, sir. Excuse me.
[11:36] ---
    Actually, I wanted to ask you something.
[11:40] ---
    What do you think the next
    developments in the war will be?
[11:44] ---
    I'm certain that this war
    will grow into a world war.
[11:50] ---
    A world war?
[11:51] ---
    A global war.
[11:53] ---
    An interesting opinion.
[11:55] ---
    How would you handle it?
[11:56] ---
    By limiting our losses while
    shedding enemy blood,
[11:59] ---
    I believe the Empire would
    win in the long run.
[12:03] ---
    Do you have a practical plan?
[12:05] ---
    I would suggest a combination
[12:07] ---
    of defensive infantry tactics and
    offensive strategies with mages.
[12:10] ---
    Mages are powerful,
    but there aren't many of them.
[12:15] ---
    I agree.
[12:16] ---
    Mages excel in firepower and agility.
[12:18] ---
    They're ideal for hunting enemy forces.
[12:21] ---
    In the sense that you win the battle
    while limiting your losses,
[12:26] ---
    I believe this may be the best use of mages.
[12:31] ---
    Interesting.
[12:33] ---
    I'll look into it.

[05:14] ---
    Y-You bitch!
[05:16] ---
    Return to the western theater, then!
[05:18] ---
    We don't need cowards here!
[05:19] Tanya
    Is that the consensus of the northern theater?
[05:23] ---
    Shut up!
[05:24] Tanya
    All right.
[05:30] Tanya
    Excuse me.
[05:40] Tanya
    Why won't you stop them?
[05:43] Tanya
    With our present supply situation,
    a full offensive is reckless.
[05:46] Tanya
    Its failure is obvious.
[05:51] ---
    Major, I want you to tell me
    what you really think.
[05:55] ---
    Without the formalities of a proper proposal.
[05:59] Tanya
    Sir, I humbly remind you that
    I am a strategy officer.
[06:05] Tanya
    I appreciate the request,
[06:07] Tanya
    but I believe that, out of courtesy
    for my hosts, I must remain silent.
[06:15] ---
    That's a rather acrimonious way
    to express one's opinion.
[06:18] ---
    Very well. I'll get to the point.
[06:22] ---
    If, hypothetically, the theater forces
    were to proceed with their attack plan,
[06:27] ---
    what benefits would it bring?
[06:33] Tanya
    It would bring some benefits to
    the western Rhine theater.
[06:39] Tanya
    It could blind the Republic to
    our coming offensive against them.
[06:43] ---
    If it went well, isn't it possible it could
    reduce strain on the western front?
[06:48] Tanya
    I'm sorry, sir, but I believe
    that would be difficult.
[06:51] Tanya
    I can't see the Republic sending
    the north enough reinforcements
[06:54] Tanya
    to affect the Rhine front.
[06:58] Tanya
    If you wish to look at things that way,
[07:01] Tanya
    we should consider this full-out offensive
[07:03] Tanya
    nothing more than a decoy to
    distract the Entente Alliance.
[07:07] Tanya
    If we consider the front-line
    offensive a decoy,
[07:10] Tanya
    its true benefit would be in
    opening the rear to attack...
[07:17] Tanya
    The rear?
[07:19] Tanya
    The rear...
[07:21] Tanya
    Behind.
[07:22] Tanya
    Back?
[07:25] ---
    What's wrong, Major?
[07:29] Tanya
    So the goal of this offensive is to
[07:33] Tanya
    create a diversion for our troops
    to land from sea?
[07:36] Erich
    Where did you hear that?
[07:38] Tanya
    Hear what?
[07:40] Erich
    About the landing!
[07:42] Erich
    Did General Zettour tell you?
[07:46] Erich
    I can't believe it.
[07:48] ---
    Well, that's a surprise.
[07:50] ---
    You guessed a plan that only
    a few officers know about.
[07:54] Tanya
    I simply realized that it would be
    an effective plan under these circumstances.
[08:00] ---
    Then we'll use you, after all.
[08:03] ---
    The 203rd Mage Battalion will go in
    advance of the rest of the landing force.
[08:09] Tanya
    Yes, sir. We'll do everything we can.
[08:11] ---
    It goes without saying that, strategically,
    this is close to a surprise attack.
[08:16] ---
    Thus, our landing point needs to be where
    the enemy would never expect it.
[08:22] Tanya
    Which means?
[08:26] ---
    The Orse Fjord.
SIGN    Episode 7 The Battle of the Fjord
SIGN    Entente Alliance, Orse Fjord
[08:39] ---
    Quite a view, huh?
[08:42] ---
    A narrow, labyrinthine fjord,
    covered with capes and islands.
[08:46] ---
    The cliffs are steep,
[08:47] ---
    and twenty cannons in the area
    let us attack from any direction.
[08:52] ---
    No navy in the world could
    pass through this sea.
[08:56] ---
    Truly a natural fortress, isn't it?
[08:59] ---
    Is there any real need for us to be here?
[09:02] ---
    It does need defenders, though.
[09:05] ---
    I don't like the fact that only our battalion
    was sent here as reinforcements.
[09:11] ---
    But it's understandable, really.
[09:12] ---
    The Empire has launched
    a winter offensive on the front lines.
[09:17] ---
    So the brass has their hands full?
[09:20] Tanya
    Men, you have my gratitude for
    rising up to defend our homeland.
[09:24] Tanya
    With the help of youth like you,
[09:27] Tanya
    our victory is assured!
[09:29] Tanya
    You have already been promised honor.
[09:32] Tanya
    So I expect you to fight hard,
    not fearing death!
[09:34] Tanya
    Yes, sir!
[09:37] Tanya
    At this point, all our country can do
    is ask its youngsters to die.
[09:43] Tanya
    That's exactly why we adults
    have to keep fighting, too.

[10:01] Tanya
    I guess it's possible, huh?

    Cutting engine and preparing to glide.
[10:09] Tanya
    Everyone, get ready to drop.
[10:11] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[10:12] Tanya
    Again, this plan relies on surprise.
[10:16] Tanya
    We have thirty minutes to capture the fjords.
[10:20] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant Serebryakov,
    you're a back-up officer.
[10:23] Tanya
    If you lose contact with me
    and the first lieutenants,
[10:26] Tanya
    command the retreat.
[10:28] Visha
    The retreat?
[10:30] ---
    If the first lieutenants and I go down,
    the mission's a failure.
[10:35] ---
    The rest of you can't beat enemies with
    the kind of equipment that can take us out.
[10:39] ---
    Man, I feel like a canary in a coal mine.
[10:42] ---
    Let's sing them a pretty song, then.
[10:45] ---
    How does a canary sing, anyway?
[10:48] ---
    "Chirp, chirp," right?
[10:50] Tanya
    I don't want to hear you guys sing.
[10:53] Tanya
    Get ready for work.
[11:00] Tanya
    All right, troops,
[11:01] Tanya
    it's time for us aerial mages
    to do what we do best.
[11:06] Tanya
    You're ready, right?
[11:07] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[11:08] Tanya
    Excellent.
[11:09] Tanya
    Jump!
[11:30] ---
    What's going on?
[11:32] ---
    I don't know.
[11:33] ---
    For some reason, we've lost contact
    with a patrol ship.
[11:37] ---
    Equipment trouble?
[11:39] ---
    What about the other ships
    on the patrol line?
[11:44] ---
    The same.
[11:45] ---
    None of the three are responding.
[11:48] ---
    What?
[11:51] ---
    What was that?
[12:00] Tanya
    Next! Hurry!
[12:05] ---

    Fire!
[12:31] ---

[12:33] ---
    Enemy attack!
[12:39] ---
    Wh-Where did they come from?
[12:42] ---
    They paradropped.
[12:49] ---
    Damn it.
[12:50] ---
    Let's get out there!
[12:52] ---
    Coastal gun platforms are engaged.
[12:54] ---
    They're requesting reinforcements.
[12:56] ---
    Get them out there via rail!
[12:58] ---
    Why are they only attacking
    the cannon emplacements?
[13:12] ---
    Battalion Commander,
    enemy reinforcements!
[13:15] ---
    Battalion-sized unit of mages
    is approaching fast!
[13:17] Tanya
    They responded fast.
[13:19] Tanya
    Company 1, prepare to engage!
[13:21] ---
    Major, engaging with a single company
    is too dangerous.
[13:24] Tanya
    We can handle it!
[13:27] Tanya
    You silence those damn guns!
[13:28] Tanya
    You silence those damn guns!
[13:29] ---
    Roger!
[13:30] Tanya
    Company 1, follow me.
[13:36] Tanya
    I don't like it,
[13:38] Tanya
    but it's better than having them
    take out my troops and trap me.
[13:44] ---
    Incoming counterattack.
[13:45] ---
    The enemy is company-sized.
[13:47] Tanya
    Company-sized?
[13:49] Tanya
    They don't see us as a threat, huh?
[13:51] ---
    We're heading in.
    Prepare for close-range combat!
[13:58] ---
    By now, the North Sea Fleet should have
    crossed the enemy patrol line.
[14:03] ---
    If those gun emplacements can't be
    taken out in thirty minutes,
[14:08] ---
    the fleet will have to turn back.
[14:11] ---
    If that happens, we'll have performed
    the largest, most spectacular
[14:14] ---
    "landing training exercise"
    in the history of man.
[14:18] ---
    And our reputation will be ruined.
[14:33] ---
    Trap them!
[14:34] Tanya
    Don't let them trap you!
[14:45] Tanya
    Maintain altitude! Take them out!
[14:48] Tanya
    Do they have those guns down yet?
[15:02] ---
    Are we done?
[15:03] ---
    Not yet.
[15:04] ---
    They're here!
[15:05] ---

[15:12] ---
    We're running out of time.
[15:14] ---
    Just keep firing.
[15:15] ---
    Don't stop for a second!
[15:27] ---
    Multiple casualties! We're being pushed back!

[15:48] Tanya
    I'm dying from overwork here.
[15:51] Tanya
    But I can't bail just because
    this wasn't in the contract.

    What?
[16:49] Tanya
    Wonderful.
[16:51] Tanya
    No overtime today.

    in silencing the guns!

    and aid the defense.

    Thus—

    Mission complete.

    bring down the lightning of judgment.

    I will never let my homeland fall!

    I've seen you somewhere before.
[19:15] Tanya
    Not that it matters.
[19:23] ---
    M-Mary...
[19:31] ---
    It's a little early,
[19:33] ---

    Quite a sight, huh?
[20:26] ---
    It's not over yet.
[20:27] ---
    Our defeat isn't set in stone yet.
[20:43] ---
    The North Sea Fleet's
    landing mission has succeeded.
[20:46] ---
    Orse City railroads are under our control.
[20:51] ---
    Now, we can use the enemy's railways
    to resupply ourselves.
[20:55] ---
    Bold as ever...
[20:59] ---
    So you kicked the enemy's ass
    from behind, huh?
[21:03] ---
    We can attack from both front and rear now.
[21:07] ---
    We can end a battle that's lasted too long.
[21:12] ---
    It feels a bit early to say for certain,
[21:16] ---
    but we have landed a truly decisive blow.

[23:03] ---
    an update on the Norden situation
    from DC Broadcasting.
[23:07] ---
    Last December,
[23:09] ---
    the Empire ran a successful
    landing operation at Orse Fjord,
[23:11] ---
    in the Entente Alliance's northern region.
[23:14] ---
    The coastal defense forces were wiped out,
[23:16] ---
    and many casualties were incurred.
[23:19] ---
    After occupying Orse City,
[23:21] ---
    the Empire launched a large-scale assault
    from the north and south,
[23:24] ---
    which resulted in the de facto occupation
    of the nation's capital.
[23:28] ---
    It's believed to be only a matter of time
    before the Entente Alliance surrenders.
[23:33] ---
    The situation will continue
    to be monitored.

    And what is it?

    Under international law, anyone who
    remains in the city after that order

    Orders from above are to eliminate

    But I can't see regular soldiers
    using civilians as human shields.
[07:50] Tanya
    We're simply taking out an enemy base...
[07:55] Tanya
    Since we'll be following the rules
    and issuing an evacuation order—
[07:59] ---
    Major?
[08:03] Tanya
    I'm sorry, sir.
[08:06] ---
    It is a sad thing, though.
[08:09] Tanya
    Yeah, it's terribly sad.
[08:12] Tanya
    But we are soldiers,
[08:14] Tanya
    and if orders say we must burn
    beautiful Arene to the ground,
[08:18] Tanya
    that is what we must do.
[08:20] ---
    Who would want to be a soldier, huh?
[08:27] ---
    An evacuation order? Ha!
[08:31] Tanya
    Battalion members,
    it's time for a sightseeing trip.
[08:34] Tanya
    The enemy has sent airships.
[08:36] Tanya
    Their mages have joined up
    with the Arene militia.
[08:40] Tanya
    The city has fallen into Republican hands.
[08:43] Tanya
    Of course, we'll take it back!
[08:46] Tanya
    But there's a problem.
[08:53] Tanya
    We must eliminate
    all Republican forces in the city.
[08:59] ---
    All?
[08:59] Tanya
    Well, firing on non-combatants
    is strictly forbidden.
[09:04] Tanya
    But since we're fighting in a city,
[09:06] Tanya
    we have permission to destroy property.
[09:09] Tanya
    Additionally, we'll issue declarations before
    and after combat with enemy mages.
[09:14] Tanya
    If the enemy accepts our terms
    of surrender, then very well.
[09:17] Tanya
    If they don't, we wipe them out.
[09:20] Tanya
    Dismissed.
[09:22] ---
    Wipe them out?
[09:23] ---
    In a city?
[09:24] ---
    Eliminate all enemies?
[09:26] ---
    She can't mean...
[09:28] ---
    Is this really okay?
[09:30] ---
    Wiping out all enemies in the city means...
[09:34] ---
    It means...
[09:36] ---
    I can't imagine them surrendering
    just because we issue a declaration.
[09:41] ---
    And I heard we're even using
    an artillery barrage.
[09:44] ---
    Besides, differentiating between
    militia and non-combatants is impossible!
[09:49] ---
    We might end up—
[09:52] ---
    Don't say another word.
[10:12] ---
    Get in here and stay put!
[10:23] ---
    I didn't expect them to be here
    in just a few hours.
[10:26] ---
    It seems they're taking this seriously.
[10:30] ---
    Bravo Leader to Combat Area Control.
[10:32] ---
    Sending data on enemy mage unit.
[10:34] ---
    Confirm.
[10:37] ---
    The Devil of the Rhine?
[10:39] ---
    They brought out the big guns, huh?
[10:42] ---
    Enemy vanguard has passed
    the IFF boundary.
[10:45] ---
    Approaching airspace above
    the city at high speed.
[10:47] ---
    They're coming!
[10:48] ---
    Prepare for long-distance ambush!
[10:57] ---
    No one's here, huh?
[11:00] ---
    An evacuation order was issued.
[11:02] ---
    So of course not.
[11:12] ---
    Ambushers! We're being sniped at!
[11:15] Tanya
    Engage!
[11:16] Tanya
    Everyone, split up!
[11:24] Visha
    Enemy locations confirmed.
[11:25] Visha
    Four o'clock and seven o'clock.
[11:34] Tanya
    They're fast.
[11:35] Tanya
    You won't escape!
[11:41] ---
    Damn it.
[11:42] ---
    Where are they?
[12:19] Tanya
    Everyone, prepare for close-range combat.
[12:21] Tanya
    Their goal is to buy time!
[12:23] Tanya
    Don't get scared!
[12:24] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[12:25] ---
    Second Lieutenant Grantz...
[12:27] ---
    Sorry, but I'm feeling strangely tired.
[12:29] ---
    Can I get a stimulant?
[12:31] ---
    R-Right!
[12:32] ---
    First Lieutenant Weiss! You've been hit!
[12:34] ---
    What?
[12:35] ---
    You didn't notice?
[12:37] ---
    I'll use a coagulant.
[12:38] ---
    Hurry!
[12:42] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant,
    how does that idiot look?
[12:44] ---
    His life isn't in danger,
    but I don't think he can keep fighting.
[12:48] Tanya
    Fine.
[12:50] Tanya
    First Lieutenant Weiss, get out of here.
[12:53] ---
    But, Battalion Commander—
[12:54] Tanya
    Your leaving won't create problems.
[12:57] Tanya
    I'd rather you take all the wounded
    out of here than slow us down.
[13:02] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[13:03] Tanya
    First Lieutenant Koenig will
    take over as second-in-command.
[13:06] Tanya
    I'll take command of Company 2.
[13:09] ---
    Roger.
[13:10] ---
    Good luck.
[13:12] Tanya
    You think too much.
[13:14] Tanya
    You hesitated, didn't you?
[13:16] Tanya
    You fool!
[13:19] Tanya
    Be prepared for the worst when I get back.
[13:26] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:43] ---
    Enemy mages have scattered!
[13:44] ---
    They're charging us!
[13:46] ---
    Fall back!
[13:48] ---
    Stay at range and keep firing!
[13:52] Visha
    Enemy mages are retreating.
[13:54] Visha
    They're hiding inside a building.
[13:57] Tanya
    Fine, the assault is canceled.
[13:59] Tanya
    Let them go inside.
[14:01] Visha
    Are you sure?
[14:03] Tanya
    If we ensure they can't touch
    the artillery units outside the city,
[14:06] Tanya
    we've basically achieved our objective.
[14:08] Tanya
    What happens later isn't our problem.
[14:12] Visha
    Roger.
[14:13] Tanya
    Let's send our message.
[14:15] Tanya
    Connect me to artillery, too.
[14:22] Tanya
    A message to the irregulars
    engaged in armed rebellion.
[14:26] Tanya
    In accordance with Article 26, Clause 3
    of the Wartime Combat Treaty,
[14:30] Tanya
    we request the release of
    all Imperial civilians in your custody.
[14:34] Tanya
    Release the people of Arene
    that you have unlawfully imprisoned.
[14:38] ---
    Shut up!
[14:39] ---
    We are the people of Arene!
[14:42] ---
    There are no unlawful prisoners!
[14:44] Tanya
    We cannot allow your massacres to continue.
[14:47] Tanya
    In accordance with Article 8, Clause 5
    of the Wartime Combat Treaty,
[14:50] Tanya
    send us your commanding officer.
[14:53] Tanya
    If you fail to heed this warning,
[14:55] Tanya
    we will be forced to consider you combatants.
[14:58] ---
    It's way too late for that.
[14:59] ---
    Damn those Imperial shits!
[15:02] ---
    What do we do? What do we do?
[15:04] ---
    Damn it... Damn it all!
[15:15] Tanya
    Did you get that?
[15:16] Visha
    Yes.
[15:17] Visha
    I recorded it with my computation jewel.
[15:19] Tanya
    Send it to Command.
[15:21] Tanya
    Sheesh... This is the problem with militias
    that don't have a chain of command.
[15:27] ---
    Command to all units involved
    with the operation.
[15:30] ---
    We will move to wipe out the enemy.
[15:32] ---
    Eliminate Republican forces in Arene.
[15:36] Tanya
    Okay, I've fulfilled my duty by
    demanding their surrender.
[15:42] Tanya
    Let's get to work... "protecting our people."
[16:25] ---
    Wha...
[16:27] ---
    What is this?
[16:34] ---
    What the hell is this?!
[16:37] ---
    Commander Bientot!
[16:40] ---
    Protect the Republican citizens
    and withdraw from the combat zone!
[16:44] ---
    Hurry!
[16:47] ---
    Loading complete.
[16:50] ---
    Fire.
[17:09] ---
    This way!
[17:11] ---
    Hang in there!
[17:28] ---
    I'm just saving the prisoners...
[17:31] ---
    I'm just helping people.
[17:40] Visha
    Anyone else?
[17:42] ---
    I think this is everyone.
[17:44] ---
    Attention, Pixie Battalion.
[17:46] ---
    Remaining enemy mages are at point B4,
    serving as a rear guard.
[17:52] ---
    They're interfering with our spotters
    and preventing our artillery from firing.
[17:56] ---
    Can you take them out?
[17:58] Tanya
    I have visual.
[18:00] Tanya
    No problem.
[18:01] Tanya
    It's possible.
[18:03] ---
    As soon as the rear guard is down,
[18:04] ---
    we'll resume the artillery attack.
[18:06] ---
    Try to finish within five minutes.
[18:08] Tanya
    Roger that.
[18:09] Tanya
    I'll do my best.
[18:24] ---
    Battalion Commander!
[18:28] ---
    Please reconsider...
[18:31] ---
    They don't know how to
    escape an artillery barrage!
[18:35] ---
    If... If we take out those mages—
[18:38] Tanya
    The Empire's enemies will be
    wiped out by artillery.
[18:42] Tanya
    Fine by me.
[18:43] ---
    But that's—
[18:44] Tanya
    Second Lieutenant Grantz,
[18:45] Tanya
    the enemy you let go will
    take up his gun again.
[18:50] Tanya
    To shoot us.
[18:58] Tanya
    If we let them go, some will become
    new soldiers who hate the Empire.
[19:04] ---
    So... You want us to kill them
    just for that reason?!
[19:12] Tanya
    This is the order from our superiors.
[19:14] Tanya
    We shoot the enemy, or they'll shoot us.
[19:17] Tanya
    If nothing else, we must shoot
    until we're told not to anymore.
[19:24] Tanya
    I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said.
[19:28] Tanya
    But I'll say this once more.
[19:30] Tanya
    This is the order from our superiors.
[19:33] Tanya
    Take up your gun.
[20:11] ---
    What did you want to discuss?
[20:14] ---
    This paper,
[20:15] ---
    which was submitted last summer
    to the Army Academy's 17th Lab.
[20:21] ---
    The paper deals with ways to
    legalize combat in cities.
[20:26] ---
    It contains a way to interpret wartime law,
[20:29] ---
    to avoid the restrictions on
    artillery bombardment of cities.
[20:34] ---
    Did you use this
    when you planned this operation?
[20:38] ---
    If I did?
[20:40] ---
    Nothing.
[20:41] ---
    I just wanted to know for certain.
[20:48] ---
    The author of the paper was
    Major Degurechaff, wasn't it?
[20:56] ---
    As you say, she seems to be
    an extremely talented soldier.
[21:02] ---
    Not using those talents would be foolish.
[21:07] ---
    I am going to give her an
    extremely important job
[21:13] ---
    to end the war with the Republic.
[22:49] ---
    You're finally awake?
SIGN    Allied Kingdom Humanitarian Aid Group "Peace World Hospital"
[22:56] ---
    I'm told you were found floating
    in a fjord, critically wounded.
[23:00] ---
    You've been unconscious for months.
[23:02] ---
    They only identified you a few days ago.
[23:08] ---
    I saw a light.
[23:17] ---
    The light of God...
[23:22] ---
    Very interesting.
[23:24] ---
    And what did God tell you?
[23:29] ---
    To destroy that devil.

SIGN    A Few Days After the Battle of Arene
[00:06] Tanya
    At Arene, I insisted on
    defending my nation's people,
[00:10] Tanya
    eliminating only the enemy mages.
[00:14] Tanya
    My hands are still pure as
    the driven snow... Probably.
[00:18] ---
    Excuse me.
[00:21] ---
    It's been a long time, Major Degurechaff.
[00:23] Tanya
    Uger...
[00:26] Tanya
    Major Uger!
[00:27] Tanya
    Glad to see you're doing well!
[00:29] ---
    Same to you.
[00:31] Tanya
    You're with the army's railway division now?
[00:34] ---
    Yes.
[00:35] ---
    I've heard a lot about you.
[00:38] ---
    Anyway, are you on your way to Strategic HQ?
[00:41] Tanya
    Yes.
[00:42] Tanya
    You, too?
[00:45] ---
    Lately, I've been doing nothing but
    running errands for General Zettour...
[00:48] Tanya
    If the railway division's busy,
[00:51] Tanya
    then it's a big operation?
[00:55] Tanya
    Looks like you know something.
[00:58] ---
    Well, I guess it's safe to tell you.
[01:01] ---
    I owe you for recommending me
    for a rearguard position.
[01:06] ---
    The railway division has been asked to
[01:08] ---
    make a plan for emergency transport
    from the combat zone.
[01:11] ---
    The planning folks intend to
    pull the Rhine front way back.
[01:15] Tanya
    Pull back our lines?
[01:17] Tanya
    After we've pushed the enemy so far back?
[01:19] ---
    Indeed.
[01:20] ---
    The plan seems to be to draw
    the enemy's main unit in and destroy them.
[01:26] Tanya
    I see.
[01:27] Tanya
    So like Bonaparte at Austerlitz,
[01:29] Tanya
    or perhaps Hannibal at Cannae.
[01:33] Tanya
    That's a surprise.
[01:35] Tanya
    A surround-and-destroy operation
    on the scale of the Rhine front...
[01:38] Tanya
    A bold but fascinating plan.
[01:41] ---
    You've got that right.
[01:42] ---
    The brass wants to end the war with
    the Republic soon, no matter what.
[01:47] Tanya
    But how do we surround the enemy?
[01:50] ---
    I haven't been told the details.
[01:52] ---
    But your unit will be asked
    to serve as the rearguard
[01:54] ---
    so the enemy doesn't learn
    about the retreat.
[01:57] Tanya
    The rearguard, huh?
[02:00] ---
    The battle will be even fiercer
    than what's come before.
[02:04] ---
    Once you get to Strategic HQ,
[02:06] ---
    I'm sure they'll prepare
    everything you ask for.
SIGN    Imperial Army Strategic HQ, Joint Conference
[03:42] ---
    The Arene incident damaged
    our railway network,
[03:46] ---
    making supplying the front lines difficult.
[03:48] ---
    A full-scale assault at this time
    would be impossible to sustain.
[03:52] ---
    Is a landing operation possible,
    like the one against the Entente Alliance?
[03:57] ---
    The Allied Kingdom's response
    would be the issue.
[04:00] ---
    In theory, they're neutral,
[04:03] ---
    but they won't let us pass through
    their territorial waters.
[04:06] ---
    Which means it will take time...
[04:08] ---
    I believe some degree of attrition
    is unavoidable.
[04:13] Zettour
    We need a paradigm shift.
[04:16] Zettour
    We're facing the first world war
    since the dawn of humanity.
[04:22] Zettour
    The pre-war doctrine of entering an enemy
    castle to force them to sign a peace treaty
[04:28] Zettour
    isn't practical here.
[04:31] ---
    How do we win, then?
[04:34] Zettour
    We don't win. We avoid defeat.
[04:37] Zettour
    I think that's the only way to stay standing.
[04:41] ---
    General Zettour, are you saying
    you're opposed to the offensive, too?
[04:46] Zettour
    No, I support the idea of aggressive action.
[04:51] Zettour
    But breaking their lines shouldn't be our goal.
[04:54] ---
    What do you mean?
[04:56] Zettour
    We eliminate as many enemy soldiers as possible
[04:59] Zettour
    and render them unable to continue fighting.
[05:03] Zettour
    That's the one way to end the war.
[05:07] ---
    Do you have a practical plan?
[05:10] ---
    The planning department already has
    a plan to destroy their main force.
[05:15] ---
    A decisive battle? In these circumstances?
[05:18] ---
    Are you serious?
[05:19] ---
    Isn't that reckless?
[05:20] ---
    The first stage of this plan
    is a large-scale withdrawal
[05:23] ---
    from the battle lines, in order
    to lure the enemy forward.
[05:27] ---
    It's the first step toward the rest of the plan.
[05:31] ---
    We must go forward.
[05:34] ---
    You could say a "forward escape"
    is the best path toward victory.

    They seem to think we're engaging
    in a large-scale offensive.
[08:30] ---
    Hey, hang in there!
[08:31] ---
    We don't have enough bandages!
[08:32] ---
    Where are the medic mages?
[08:33] ---
    How much longer?
[08:34] ---
    M-My stomach... My stomach!
[08:37] ---
    Warrant Officer... Warrant Officer Teyanen!
[08:48] Visha
    Lieutenant Grantz, what were
    your grades in classes?
[08:53] Visha
    Didn't you learn in officers' school that
    all responsibility for a unit's actions
[08:58] Visha
    rests with their commanding officer?
[09:00] Visha
    In law class.
[09:02] ---
    I think I did...
[09:06] Visha
    At the Battle of Arene, the major emphasized
    that you were acting under orders.
[09:12] Tanya
    I'll say this once more.
[09:13] Tanya
    This is the order from our superiors.
[09:15] Visha
    She was the commanding officer,
[09:16] Visha
    so there was no need for
    her men to feel responsible.
[09:20] Visha
    Maybe that's what she wanted to say.
[09:27] ---
    I never thought you'd be making me
    feel better, Lieutenant Serebryakov.
[09:32] Visha
    Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[09:36] ---
    Hang in there, Teyanen!
[09:40] ---
    Teyanen!
[09:42] ---
    Plan 1 was a success.
[09:45] ---
    It's all thanks to your unit.
[09:48] ---
    On behalf of Strategic HQ,
    I thank you again.
[09:51] Tanya
    Your words honor me too much.
[09:54] Tanya
    Actually, I wanted to ask you something.
[09:59] ---
    What is it?
[10:01] Tanya
    I'm told our military is distributing
    false propaganda via third countries?
[10:07] ---
    You hear things fast.
[10:10] Tanya
    Supposedly, the mess at Arene
    destroyed our supply lines.
[10:15] Tanya
    Even maintaining our front is difficult,
[10:19] Tanya
    and we're planning a reckless,
    large-scale assault.
SIGN    The Empire on the Brink
[10:22] Tanya
    Republican forces will believe it
    and will concentrate their forces.
SIGN    A Desperate Large-Scale Assault?
[10:26] Tanya
    If we want to draw them in,
    encircle them, and wipe them out,
[10:30] Tanya
    don't we need to disrupt them
    and put them in disarray?
[10:35] ---
    Just like at Norden?
[10:38] ---
    You never cease to amaze me...
[10:41] ---
    Your new orders.
[10:44] Tanya
    Thank you.
[10:47] ---
    The name of the second operation
    is "Shock and Awe."
[10:52] ---
    The plan is to directly take out
    the enemy's HQ
[10:56] ---
    and leave them in disarray.
[10:59] Tanya
    And then capture the enemy units?
[11:02] ---
    Indeed.
[11:03] Tanya
    I see.
[11:04] Tanya
    On a strategic level,
    it makes a good deal of sense.
[11:07] Tanya
    But if it were that easy to
    take out the enemy's HQ,
[11:11] Tanya
    the Rhine theater wouldn't have
    fallen into a stalemate to begin with.
[11:15] ---
    That is quite true.
[11:19] Tanya
    Then we'll need a new tactic.
[11:22] Tanya
    Something completely unexpected.
[11:26] ---
    God has brought us to this moment,
    hasn't he, Major?
[11:31] Tanya
    Doctor Schugel?
SIGN    Imperial Army V-1 Launcher Secret Base
[11:41] Tanya
    What is this?
[11:44] ---
    A special acceleration booster device
    I developed for force recon.
[11:49] ---
    Code named V-1!
[11:52] ---
    It's a new type of recon unit
[11:54] ---
    that flies too high to be intercepted
    and too fast to be pursued.
[11:58] ---
    Use these V-1s to cross their defensive lines
    and attack their HQ.
[12:03] Tanya
    When did you build this?
[12:05] ---
    General Zettour requested
    their development.
[12:09] ---
    He requested a new type of equipment
    to break through heavily defended areas.
[12:13] Tanya
    And a certain mad scientist made something
    that surpassed your expectations, huh?
[12:19] ---
    It's still in the testing stages,
[12:22] ---
    but the fact that we could get a small run
[12:23] ---
    of mass-produced versions ready before
    the decisive battle is truly...
[12:26] ---
    Truly, a blessed message from God!
[12:29] ---
    That's the only way to describe it!
[12:31] ---
    Behold these huge boosters!
[12:35] ---
    It contains five specially-made engines
    that run on hydrogen fuel!
[12:40] Tanya
    Doctor, it's fine to boast about
    their size and numbers,
[12:44] Tanya
    but you can adjust their speed
    and direction, right?
[12:47] ---
    Adjustments? You don't need adjustments!
[12:51] ---
    Just fly straight!
[12:53] ---
    Just keep going straight forward!
[12:58] ---
    That look on your face...
[13:00] ---
    You're worried the boosters
    might be too heavy, right?
[13:03] ---
    Relax! No need to worry at all!
[13:06] ---
    The used fuel tanks can be purged from
    the booster when they're empty.
[13:11] ---
    By lightening the load,
    the final speed gets even higher!
[13:18] ---
    Its final speed is Mach 1.5!
[13:21] ---
    As the first humans to
     break the sound barrier,
[13:24] ---
    we will shake off anyone
    and everyone on our tail!
[13:30] Tanya
    Um, how will you handle the increase
[13:33] Tanya
    in drag and shock waves caused
    by breaking the sound barrier?
[13:36] Tanya
    Vibrations and shocks caused
    by aeroelastic flutter
[13:39] Tanya
    should be something mages can handle
    with their defensive shell.
[13:42] Tanya
    You can do it, right?
[13:44] Tanya
    It would be strange if you couldn't.
[13:47] ---
    I suppose he thinks everything
    comes naturally to everyone.
[13:50] Tanya
    Yeah. He's a natural-born disaster.

[14:48] ---
    We've gathered our main forces
    and started advancing the left flank.
[14:54] ---
    The right flank is staying put.
[14:57] ---
    If we take out the left flank,
    the Empire will give up.
[15:01] ---
    And that will end the war, huh?
[15:05] ---
    Yes.
[15:06] ---
    I want to repay them for
    what happened in Arene.
[15:09] ---
    But I'm reduced to
    a cigarette gofer for a while...
[15:15] ---
    Distribute them among the right flank.
    They aren't doing anything.

    Are you sure?

    Calm down, Lieutenant.
[15:49] ---
    You look kind of pathetic.
[15:51] ---
    Sorry, sir.
[15:54] ---
    Well, I understand how you feel.
[15:57] ---
    To be honest, I don't feel calm, either.
[15:59] Tanya
    Now, you've been specially selected
    for this mission.
[16:02] Tanya
    To be blunt,
[16:05] Tanya
    our mission is to ride rockets
    right into the enemy HQ.
[16:09] Tanya
    I'm sure that only a few of you eleven
    are capable of enjoying a rocket ride,
[16:16] Tanya
    but we have to do this.
[16:18] Tanya
    And if we have to do it,
    we must ensure we succeed.
[16:22] Tanya
    Our current intelligence has
    given us three attack targets.
[16:26] Tanya
    One of them is the enemy's Rhine theater HQ.
[16:30] Tanya
    Once we take it out, the enemy will
    be leaderless and easily destroyed.
[16:36] Tanya
    In other words,
    tomorrow's mission will end the war!
[16:41] Tanya
    We are the head of the entire army!
[16:46] ---
    No soldier in the Empire
    could remain calm after that.
[16:50] ---
    Hell, no soldier in the world could.
[16:59] ---
    I take that back.
[17:03] ---
    The Republic's main force has
    already started its advance.
[17:06] ---
    Only a matter of time before the western
    industrial districts are within firing range.
[17:11] ---
    Preparations for Plan 2, the assault
    on the enemy HQ, are ready.
[17:16] ---
    What is the state of the next plan?
[17:17] ---
    I'm told we're finishing our last
    preparations on the left flank.
[17:21] ---
    Deployments at the target
    point are completed,
[17:23] ---
    and we can begin tomorrow.
[17:27] ---
    We've crossed the Rubicon.
[17:29] ---
    And now, it's all up to
    Major Degurechaff, huh?
[17:45] Zettour
    If we're eating in silence, we must
    be more nervous than I expected.
[17:52] ---
    I thought you never got nervous.
[17:55] Zettour
    You, too.
[17:57] Zettour
    I'm surprised to find you're nervous.
[18:08] ---
    The Fatherland's fate rests on this mission.
[18:11] ---
    If we fail to take the enemy's head,
    the remaining plans will also fail.
[18:16] ---
    Moving forward is the only way we can win.
[18:20] ---
    No, it's the only path we have at all.
[18:24] ---
    Anyone who stands in the way of
    the Fatherland will be destroyed.

    Let me give an update on

[03:53] Zettour
    Our army has moved
    the Rhine front's right flank
[03:56] Zettour
    back to the designated defensive line.
[03:58] Zettour
    We have completed a massive

[04:02] B
    Why did we retreat so far?
[04:04] B
    Isn't this too much?
[04:06] Zettour
    About that... I've been notified that

    On behalf of the military,
    I apologize for worrying the emperor.

    Unfortunately, as it is
    a classified military matter,

    I can provide no further detail.

    Then, may I make a comment
    on behalf of the treasury?
[04:28] B
    Please.

    most of the funding for this war

    At this rate,

    It's a combined force of heavy armor
    and mechanized infantry!
[12:06] Dudes

    If we don't use all the reserves we have,

    set several mine fields

    I see you still lack a way with words.
[13:08] Rudy
    Words of wisdom passed down
    from the days before cannons.
[13:10] Rudy
    I much prefer them to
    displays of one's book smarts.
[13:14] Zettour

[13:33] RR
    Things are progressing, steadily and swiftly,
[13:36] ---
    toward complete encirclement
    of the main force.
[13:40] Zettour
    After this, they'll have to add a page
    about us to books about the art of war.

    No worries there.
[14:50] Weiss
    We may be excited about

[15:04] Tanya
    Good work.
[15:08] Tanya
    Fantastic! So Operation Lock Pick
    was a success?
[15:12] Tanya
    That should get
    the Revolving Door turning, too.
[15:19] Tanya
    Oh, I suppose you weren't
    briefed on the details.
[15:23] Tanya
    It's a top-secret plan that Strategic HQ
    proposed to end the war.
[15:29] Tanya
    The first operation
[15:31] Tanya
    was feigning a large-scale retreat
    to lure the enemy's main force in.
[15:35] Tanya
    The second operation
[15:36] Tanya
    was the attack on the enemy HQ
    to disrupt their chain of command.
[15:41] Tanya
    The third operation
[15:42] Tanya
    was the use of tactical tunneling
    to break through the enemy line.
[15:46] Tanya
    Bringing us to
[15:47] Tanya
    Operation Revolving Door, which will
    surround the main enemy force.
[15:51] Tanya
    Complete annihilation,
    using a large-scale envelopment.

    An example of the ideal
    mobile encirclement.
[15:57] Grantz
    Sounds like it's already been decided...
[16:01] Tanya
    Correct.
[16:02] Tanya
    The enemy's main forces
    are now fish in a barrel.

    We did it!
[16:09] Everyone
    All right!
[16:10] Everyone
    Yes!

    We will now deploy from the submarine.

    The navy's withdrawing?

    Under General Du Lugo's authority,

    Not "an armistice" or "surrender"?
[17:20] Visha

    as opposed to an armistice.

    Oh, Major...
[00:30] ---
    I'm sorry, but the general is away.

    Your contribution to this victory
    was immeasurable.
[02:22] ---
    If you have something you wish to say,
[02:24] ---
    I'd like to hear your unfiltered opinion.
[02:27] Tanya
    My unfiltered opinion, huh?
[02:31] ---
    Is something...
[02:32] Tanya
    It's true that our forces
    have won a splendid victory.
[02:37] Tanya
    The entire world has no choice
    but to pay heed to our gallantry.
[02:43] Tanya
    For this one moment,
    the Empire's glory and victory may be real.
[02:50] ---
    This one moment?
[02:53] Tanya
    Victory.
[02:55] Tanya
    Such a tempting thing.
[02:58] Tanya
    Naturally, everyone wants to savor a taste,
[03:02] Tanya
    but why is Strategic HQ
    not making use of this victory?
[03:13] ---
    The major went to Strategic HQ?
[03:15] Visha
    From the way she was acting,
    she might have gone to yell at them.
[03:20] ---
    Well, no need to worry.
[03:22] Visha
    But she's clearly different than usual—
[03:24] ---
    Don't worry.
[03:25] ---
    I can't imagine the major
    breaking the rules.
[03:30] ---
    Right now, she's probably drinking wine
    in the banquet hall—
[03:33] ---
    Well, maybe not.
[03:35] ---
    Anyone have some lotion?
[03:37] ---
    I got too much sun.
[03:38] ---
    I think there was some in
    Warrant Officer Teyanen's stuff.
[03:58] ---
    Not making use of our victory?
[04:00] Tanya
    If you'll excuse my saying so,
    it seems that our Strategic HQ
[04:03] Tanya
    knows how to win a victory,
    but not how to use one.
[04:10] ---
    What does that mean?
[04:12] Tanya
    I'm told the members of Strategic HQ
    are toasting to victory right now.
[04:19] Tanya
    Of course, the soldiers who did
    their duty on the front lines
[04:24] Tanya
    have the right to celebrate
    a moment's respite.
[04:30] Tanya
    But if even the officers who should guide
    the war's course naively revel in victory,
[04:38] Tanya
    that would be a mistake
    and a dereliction of duty.
[04:41] Tanya
    It would be a criminal failure to act.
[04:45] ---
    Major, enough.
[04:48] ---
    That's going too far.
[04:50] Tanya
    Lieutenant Colonel, you were the one
    who asked my unfiltered opinion.
[04:55] ---
    Even if Mars, the god of war,
    loves you, that is arrogance.
[05:00] Tanya
    I'm afraid, sir, I don't believe
    that God loves me at all.
[05:12] ---
    You are an exceptional officer,
    gifted with foresight and decisiveness.
[05:18] ---
    But I suppose, at their core,
    people do not change.
[05:34] ---
    Western theater forces filed a complaint
    about your attempt to disobey orders.
[05:40] Tanya
    I simply tried to act within
    the authority I've been granted.
[05:46] ---
    I know you aren't the kind of soldier
    who would disobey orders.
[05:50] ---
    But the authority Strategic HQ gave you
[05:55] ---
    wasn't intended to generate
    friction on the front lines.
[05:58] ---
    You are free to be proud
    of your achievements,
[06:01] ---
    but we cannot have you thinking
    you accomplished them alone.
[06:04] ---
    The Republic has lost its capital.
[06:08] ---
    Any further resistance is meaningless.
    And would be harmful, in fact.
[06:15] ---
    What reason is there to continue the war?
[06:20] ---
    A modern state uses its military
    to impose its will via violence.
[06:24] ---
    Sacrificing the nation itself to
    continue the fight is madness.
[06:31] Tanya
    You are completely correct.
[06:33] ---
    Then why do you say that
    the war will continue?
[06:40] Tanya
    If I may be permitted to give my opinion...
[06:43] Tanya
    Generals Zettour and Rudersdorf
    are logical pragmatists,
[06:46] Tanya
    highly skilled in political
    and military matters.
[06:51] Tanya
    They are great soldiers.
[06:53] Tanya
    As are you, Lieutenant Colonel.
[06:57] Tanya
    Our Strategic HQ is a powerful fortress
    of logic and knowledge.
[07:05] Tanya
    And therefore, due to logical reasoning,
[07:09] Tanya
    everyone believes the war is at its end.
[07:12] Tanya
    But it must be said that
    this rationale is incomplete.
[07:19] ---
    Incomplete...?
[07:22] Tanya
    The members of Strategic HQ
    are far too rational.
[07:28] Tanya
    And thus, they have completely
    missed the point.
[07:32] Tanya
    Rationalism isn't the only thing
    that drives human action.
[07:37] Tanya
    We are foolish creatures...
[07:41] ---
    Are you saying that humans are
    still beasts, lacking in reason?!
[07:49] Tanya
    If I may be permitted to speak freely,
    then that is completely correct.
[07:55] ---
    And what evidence do you
    have for this statement?
[07:58] Tanya
    History.
[08:00] Tanya
    Though I mean my own history.
[08:04] Tanya
    My personal experience.
[08:09] ---
    Tell me.
[08:13] Tanya
    I have seen the eyes of men,
    burning with hatred.
[08:20] Tanya
    I have seen the moment
    when my talented men
[08:22] Tanya
    gave in to anger and lost their reason.
[08:26] Tanya
    I have seen a chain of revenge,
[08:30] Tanya
    driven only by hate.
[08:33] Tanya
    And so, I realized...
[08:36] Tanya
    No, perhaps it's more accurate
    to say that I remembered.
[08:42] Tanya
    I have personally experienced
    an insane reaction against rationalism.
[08:50] Tanya
    No matter how much we modernize,
[08:53] Tanya
    no matter how social norms affect us,
[08:56] Tanya
    humans are foolish creatures
[08:59] Tanya
    who sometimes prize feelings over reason.
[09:13] Tanya
    A human being who's overcome
    with hatred will keep struggling,
[09:17] Tanya
    without regard for self-interest or reason,
[09:19] Tanya
    regardless of what they may lose or gain.
[09:24] Tanya
    That is why I cannot help but speak up.
[09:33] Tanya
    We should not become intoxicated
    by a temporary victory!

    there was a nation known as the Empire.
[15:22] Tanya

    it overwhelmed the Dukedom of Dakia,

    The Empire went to such lengths to
    display the sharpness of its sword,
[16:09] Tanya
    it was incapable of imagining
    the terror that its sword inspired.
SIGN    Southern Continent, Chiers Military Port
[16:18] Tanya
    Of course, everyone wants peace.
[16:21] Tanya
    So, to protect peace,
    they take up their guns
[16:27] Tanya
    and thrust themselves into battle,
    hoping to achieve it.
SIGN    Allied Kingdom Capital Londinium
[16:33] Tanya
    So that this cruel war would end,
[16:37] Tanya
    everyone except the Empire wished
[16:40] Tanya
    for the evil enemy called the Empire
    to be eliminated from the world.
SIGN    Near the Federation's Border
[16:54] Tanya
    Could there be any greater paradox?
[16:58] Tanya
    Ironically, their desire for peace
[17:01] Tanya
    caused the war's intensification,
    rather than its end.
SIGN    Somewhere in the U.S., Army Recruiting Office
[17:14] Tanya
    It's true that
[17:16] Tanya
    the U.S. is presently recruiting
    volunteer deployment units
[17:19] Tanya
    to be sent to allied countries.
[17:23] Tanya
    But you're at the minimum age
    for volunteers, Mary Sue.
[17:28] Tanya
    You can take more time to decide.
[17:32] M
    No, I volunteer.
[17:35] ---
    We're very happy you feel that way,
[17:38] ---
    but if you go to the battlefield,
    you may be hurt or even killed.
[17:43] ---
    I'm prepared for that.
[17:45] ---
    I'm sure that your mother
    and your late father
[17:50] ---
    would want for you to live
    in a peaceful place.
[17:56] ---
    I know that.
[17:59] ---
    But that's why
[18:01] ---
    I want to do what I can!
[18:04] ---
    To protect that peace!
[18:08] ---
    You won't change your mind, will you?
[18:12] ---
    I understand.
[18:13] ---
    Then make your declaration
    as you volunteer.
[18:22] ---
    I declare that for sake of
    the peace I must protect,
[18:26] ---
    and for sake of the family I love,
[18:30] ---
    I will give my whole power!
[18:33] ---
    To make a world where no one else
    has to experience the sadness...
[18:38] ---
    of losing their family to the Empire.
[18:42] ---
    And to enact God's justice!
[18:47] ---
    I swear by my good heart,
    which believes in the Lord!
[18:53] ---
    May the Lord's grace be with me!

[20:37] ---
    Attention, everyone!
[20:40] ---
    A message from the battalion commander!
[20:43] Tanya
    Everyone, we've gone from
    an armistice to a sortie.
[20:47] Tanya
    The brass just does whatever it wants.
[20:50] Tanya
    But since it's our job, we have no choice.
[20:54] Tanya
    We must follow our orders
    and crush the enemy.
[20:58] Tanya
    But now, our enemy is the whole world.
[21:03] Tanya
    There's no way to avoid a cruel war,
[21:06] Tanya
    and no end to how long we must fight.
[21:11] Tanya
    That is why I want to say once more...
[21:18] Tanya
    If there is a God who rules this world,
[21:21] Tanya
    it is a stern, solemn,
[21:23] Tanya
    and infinitely good being.
[21:27] Tanya
    A being that is far too great...
[21:30] Tanya
    God keeps forcing us to confront
    these cruel fates.
[21:35] Tanya
    As if those were the rules of this world.
[21:46] ---
    We could only deploy
    two divisions and a support unit.
[21:51] ---
    Even the Republic's local security force
    could handle that number!
[21:55] ---
    If their allies start sending troops, too...
[22:00] ---
    Orders for troops on the ground?
[22:02] ---
    Already sent.
[22:05] ---
    Upon arrival, our forces will maintain
    constant mobility at all times.
[22:10] ---
    The enemy will split up to attack us,
    and we will defeat them in detail.
[22:15] ---
    Major Degurechaff's
    203rd Battalion will take point.
[22:21] ---
    But with a force this size...
[22:23] ---
    Even the major...
[22:26] ---
    I believe that is quite
    a reasonable opinion.
[22:30] Tanya
    Thus, I declare once more...
[22:39] Tanya
    Oh, God...
[22:44] Tanya
    I'll slice you into tiny pieces
    and feed you to the pigs!
[22:50] Erich
    But there's nothing...
[22:53] Erich
    nothing to worry about at all.
[22:57] Tanya
    Our battlefield is no place
    for that piece of shit God!
[23:00] Tanya
    I think it's time we took over God's work.
[23:05] Tanya
    We soldiers will take God's place.
[23:10] Tanya
    We'll put the arrogant ass, God, out of a job!
[23:17] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[23:18] Erich
    If I may speak freely...
[23:22] Erich
    She is a monster in the form
[23:28] Erich
    of a little girl!
[23:30] Tanya
    All right, troops...
[23:32] Tanya
    It is time for war!

SIGN    One Day in Unified Year 1966
SIGN    A Suburb in the Allied Kingdom
[00:41] ---
    In those days, the Empire was
    an unstoppable superpower.
[00:45] ---
    First the Entente Alliance fell, then Dakia,
[00:48] ---
    and then it even defeated the Republic.
[00:50] ---
    And while they let some survivors
    escape to the south,
[00:53] ---
    they'd managed to establish dominance
    over the entire continent.
SIGN    WTN Special Correspondent

[00:55] ---
    Those were the Empire's best days,
    when its territory was at its largest.
[01:01] ---
    And yet...
SIGN    Former Imperial Military Development Chief Engineer
    Adelheid von Schugel
[01:03] ---
    The goddess of fate
    did not smile on the Empire.
[01:08] ---
    How cruel she can be.
[01:11] ---
    Why was the Empire forced to fight
    a protracted battle against the entire world?
[01:16] ---
    Where did they go wrong?
[01:21] ---
    I wish I could answer your question,
[01:25] ---
    but I'm just another lost sheep myself.
[01:31] ---
    I see.
[01:32] ---
    However,
[01:33] ---
    if I were to turn my thoughts
    towards the will of God...
[01:41] ---
    Perhaps what drove the entire
    world to war against the Empire
[01:47] ---
    was their terrible fear of it.
[01:51] ---
    Terrible fear?
[01:53] ---
    Yes...
[01:55] ---
    In the end, it was all about feelings!
[02:00] ---
    Some felt terror!
[02:03] ---
    Some felt hatred!
[02:05] ---
    Some trusted it!
[02:07] ---
    Some were obsessed with it!
[02:09] ---
    The feelings in the hearts of all mankind
[02:13] ---
    were what drove them to
    follow the path of destruction!
[02:17] ---
    Just as all who live by the sword
    must die by it as well.

[02:33] ---
    Shit! We fell for a trap!
[02:36] ---
    Major, what happened?
[02:38] ---
    The report that
    they'd split their forces was false.
[02:40] ---
    The enemy has concentrated themselves!
[02:42] ---
    They prepared a trap of sweet honey
    for us, and we let it lure us out!
[02:47] ---
    If they're not here with us,
[02:50] ---
    the enemy must be concentrated
    in front of our main force.
[02:54] ---
    As planned,
[02:56] ---
    we were able to lure the enemy out of
    their holes with false information.
[03:00] ---
    Now all that remains is to wipe them out.

    I should've just said the unit had

[09:16] ---
    Attention!
[09:20] ---
    Men, early this morning,
[09:22] ---
    the Eastern Theater Forces'
    437th Tactical Special Recon Platoon
[09:26] ---
    sent out an emergency report.
[09:28] ---
    Federation units were seen
    actively moving along Warning Line 1.
[09:34] ---
    Thus, due to an accidental error
    during training exercises,
[09:39] ---
    our forces will be crossing into Federation
    territory to conduct reconnaissance.
[09:42] ---
    We will observe their forces' activities,
    and if necessary, issue a warning.
[09:47] ---
    We are not, however, to open hostilities.
[09:50] ---
    If we are forced to fight,
    we are to withdraw immediately.
[09:53] ---
    Of course, until war is declared,
    this is a violation of the neutrality treaty.
[09:58] ---
    You are to be extremely careful.
[10:02] ---
    That's all from me.
[10:03] ---
    Major, may I ask a question?
[10:06] ---
    Of course, Lieutenant Serebryakov.
[10:09] ---
    If combat proves to be inevitable,
[10:11] ---
    are we permitted to use force
    to defend ourselves?
[10:13] ---
    They're Commies. Blow the shit out of them...
[10:16] ---
    Or so I'd like to say,
[10:18] ---
    but we need the Federation
    to fire the first shot.
[10:21] ---
    Until that happens, you are not permitted
    to fire under any circumstances.
[10:25] ---
    That... puts us in a pretty bad position.
[10:28] ---
    I agree with Lieutenant Grantz...
[10:32] ---
    The plane is taking us to
    the mission area at top speed.
[10:36] ---
    Nobody here's dumb enough to pass up an
    adventure in the kingdom of secrets, right?
[10:40] ---
    My battalion's gone through hell itself,
    so I believe you're all better than that.
[10:47] ---
    Okay, let's do this,
    just like we do every time!
[10:50] ---
    First the desert, then the snow, huh?
[10:52] ---
    Fine with me!
[10:58] ---
    I expect you to handle this mission
    like you do every other!

    and the Imperial family!

[11:49] ---
    And tanks.
[11:51] ---
    And those stacks are...
    live ammo and vehicle fuel?
[11:57] ---
    Over here, Major.
[12:02] ---
    Look at that.
[12:17] ---
    Okay! Be careful with this stuff!
[12:20] ---
    Look at the size of that thing.
[12:21] ---
    They brought a railway gun?
[12:24] ---
    That's practically a declaration
    of war right there.
[12:26] ---
    Captain Weiss!
[12:28] ---
    Remind all the troops on standby
    that we are not to open fire first.

[12:52] ---
    Don't screw up and hit

    on Imperial territory, report.
[12:54] ---
    M-Major...
[12:56] ---
    The barrel is moving.
[12:58] ---
    If they open fire...
[13:08] ---
    Th-They fired.

    The Federation is attacking on all fronts!
[13:15] ---
    This is a declaration of war!
[13:17] ---
    The Federation has declared war
    on the Empire.
[13:19] ---
    What does HQ say?
[13:20] ---
    All units, regardless of designation,
    are to begin combat immediately.

[13:41] ---
    Very good.
[13:42] ---
    We can assume the Federation is already in
    combat with our eastern theater forces.
[13:46] ---
    We will attack the enemy's infantry
    as well as their rear lines.
[13:50] ---
    Be watchful for enemy reinforcements.

[14:14] ---
    That's impossible!

    Aim for the shells before they're loaded!
[14:44] ---

[15:09] ---
    Doesn't look like there's much for us to do.
[15:13] ---
    Big. Fragile. Highly flammable.
[15:16] ---
    It's the ideal target!
[15:19] ---
    Yeah.
[15:26] ---
    Honestly, I hate war.
[15:29] ---
    I think humans killing each other

    is the worst part of human history.
[15:35] ---
    It's nothing but a waste of

[15:39] ---

    There's no getting along with Commies.

    If I want a nice, safe life in the rear,
[15:52] ---
    I need to take up my gun.
[15:55] ---
    The 2nd Company has completed destroying
    the enemy railway gun.
[15:59] ---
    Well done.
[16:01] ---
    Still, it's weird that
    we haven't seen any mages yet.
[16:09] ---
    Major...
[16:10] ---
    We've been ordered to reinforce
    the eastern forces.
[16:12] ---
    They've given us full discretion on how.
[16:15] ---
    What's the situation on the front lines?
[16:17] ---
    Fighting a delaying action, I believe.
[16:19] ---
    Waiting for forces from the continent.
[16:21] ---
    They're holding on strong,
[16:23] ---
    but they don't have the forces
    to hold them back, huh?
[16:26] ---
    How shall we help?
[16:30] ---
    If we want to return to the border,
[16:33] ---
    we need to break through
    the enemy's rear lines.
[16:35] ---
    Let's take the easy way this time.
[16:38] ---
    We take the long way back, huh?
[16:39] ---
    So we head for...
[16:40] ---
    We burn their capital!
[16:42] ---
    Call it a strategic diversion.
[16:45] ---
    Their capital?
[16:46] ---
    We're not in Dakia anymore!
[16:50] ---
    You're a funny guy, Captain.
[16:52] ---
    Everybody knows the Commies
    have shit for AA defense.
[16:56] ---
    I guarantee that you could land
    a Cessna in Red Square.
[17:00] ---
    A Cessna?
[17:00] ---
    Red Square?
[17:02] ---
    Uh, forget that.
[17:02] ---
    But even an average teenager
    could break through their AA defenses.
[17:08] ---
    Then you're serious?
[17:10] ---
    Of course.
[17:11] ---
    It's a diversion. That's why
    we really target their capital.
[17:15] ---
    Run it through HQ first.
[17:17] ---
    See if there are no
    political considerations.
[17:20] ---

[17:23] ---
    I get to survive, I get to keep myself safe,
[17:25] ---
    and I get to fuck with the Commies.

    What an awesome plan!
[17:31] ---
    It's great.
[17:32] ---

[18:06] ---
    What's your opinion,
    Lieutenant Colonel Rerugen?
[18:12] ---
    A strike on their capital.
[18:14] ---
    It's the perfect diversion.
[18:17] ---
    I think it's worth letting her try.
[18:19] ---
    What? Are you serious?
[18:21] ---
    You're kidding!
[18:22] ---
    That's ridiculous!
[18:25] ---
    In a sense, we succeed even
    by making the attempt.
[18:29] ---
    If the Federation is forced to divert forces
    to the rear to protect their capital,
[18:33] ---
    that limits the forces they can
    bring to bear on our lines.
[18:37] ---
    Easier said than done.
[18:38] ---
    Who knows if she'll even get the chance?
[18:40] ---
    It's the sort of insane adventurism
    front line officers are prone to...
[18:42] ---
    It's impossible.
[18:43] ---
    Not even worth discussing.
[18:45] ---
    Think about it.
[18:47] ---
    It's Degurechaff we're talking about here.
[18:50] ---
    Degurechaff?
[18:52] ---
    The one with the Silver Wings?
[18:54] ---
    She's a talented warfighter.
[18:57] ---
    And as a hunting dog,
    she's a combat officer of the highest class.
[19:01] ---
    Her attack on the Dakian capital...
[19:03] ---
    Her decapitation strike at the Rhine...
[19:06] ---
    She also destroyed the enemy HQ in the south.
[19:09] ---
    This is coming from a woman with experience.
[19:12] ---
    She must believe she will succeed,
[19:14] ---
    and is only confirming
    whether the politics allow it.
[19:18] ---
    You seem to trust her an awful lot.
[19:21] ---
    I cannot agree to this, regardless.
[19:23] ---
    This is the enemy capital
    we're talking about!
[19:25] ---
    It's obviously impossible!
[19:27] ---
    You don't think she's just mistaken?
[19:29] ---
    Enough.
[19:31] ---
    We don't have enough time
    to enjoy a lengthy debate.
[19:35] ---
    Indeed.
[19:36] ---
    We're wasting time here.
[19:39] ---
    I judge that it's okay to give permission.
[19:42] ---
    Sir?!
[19:43] ---
    Are you serious?!
[19:44] ---
    It's reckless!
[19:46] ---
    If she thinks she can do it, let her try.
[19:49] ---
    I bet a bottle from my personal
    collection that she succeeds.

    Dear Mother and Grandmother,
[20:08] ---
    How are you doing?
[20:10] ---
    I've joined a certain unit as part
    of an overseas volunteer force.
[20:16] ---
    The military rules mean
    I can't write down any details,
[20:20] ---
    but I'm doing well.
[20:22] ---
    I've finally figured out how to use a gun.
[20:25] ---
    And I have friends who
    I can call comrades-in-arms.
[20:29] ---
    But honestly,
[20:30] ---
    the one thing I can't handle is the food.
    It's quantity over quality.
[20:34] ---
    I miss the pies I used to bake with you.
[20:38] ---
    Lately, I've even been dreaming of them.
[20:43] ---
    I'm sorry for being weak!
[20:46] ---
    I need to grow up to be
    a great soldier like Dad, don't I?
[20:51] ---
    To bring about God's justice
[20:54] ---
    and destroy the Empire that
    is the enemy of the world,
[20:58] ---
    I'll keep doing my very best!
[21:06] ---
    P.S...
[21:08] ---
    I did something that was kind of
    a big deal when I joined the military,
[21:12] ---
    but I did it to show I was
    serious about being a soldier.

    fleeing in terror!
[27:44] ---
    So even the AP rounds we use to
    destroy enemy bases won't work?

    addressing it to the citizenry!
[33:24] ---
    That's ridiculous!
[33:25] ---
    Nobody's going to trust what the Empire says!
[33:28] ---
    Just seal off the plaza!
[33:30] ---
    The Empire may bomb it again!
[33:33] ---
    Yes, sir!

    Wait! Warrant Officer Sue!
[35:18] ---
    Shit! That idiot!
[35:44] ---
    You ruined the mood.
[35:47] ---
    Major, enemy reinforcements!
[35:49] ---
    Two companies' worth of mages, from our rear!
[35:53] ---
    Did you really get permission to engage?
[35:55] ---
    Yes!
[35:56] ---
    Your kind uncle got us the okay!
[35:58] ---
    We get caught up in this mess
    as soon as we get here?
[36:01] ---
    Now we've got extra work to do, damn it.
[36:05] ---
    How is she so fast?
[36:07] ---
    Is her magical power overflowing?
[36:09] ---
    Mary's latent magical ability is incredible.
[36:11] ---
    She was far better than any of her class.
[36:14] ---
    So she's incompetent, and a hard worker.
[36:16] ---
    That's a bitch.
[36:17] ---
    Fall back and support.

    Don't try to get near her!
[36:21] ---
    Yes, sir!

    to be Federation forces.

    suggest a multinational force.

    There may be more.
    Look for a chance to get out of here.

    Hang in there, Mary!
[39:23] ---
    Don't pass out on us!

    And she killed him.

    it seems that even you

[45:41] ---
    We're not going to help them?
[45:43] ---
    It's their fault for not being
    able to properly protect it.
[45:47] ---
    We did nothing wrong.
[45:49] ---
    You want us to just be observers?!
[45:52] ---
    We came together to destroy the Empire,
    our common enemy!
[45:57] ---
    For humanity! For the world!
[45:59] ---
    We should all fight together!
[46:04] ---
    You want revenge that badly?

[46:22] ---
    We're not murderers or avengers.

    out of personal feelings.
[46:37] ---
    We're leaving Moscow in the morning.

    and the object of your vengeance.

[47:15] ---

[47:21] ---
    What's going on?
[47:24] ---
    Captain Weiss! Is Captain Weiss here?
[47:26] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[47:28] ---
    Captain Weiss, Strategic HQ
    sent us a love letter.
[47:31] ---
    Get the battalion together.
[47:33] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[47:35] ---
    Hurry!
[47:36] ---
    We'll begin the briefing as soon you're done.
[47:42] ---
    It's been 10 days since the start of the war,
    and the borders have moved a lot.
[47:45] ---
    Look at how the enemy's moving.
[47:51] ---
    There are three general groups.
[47:53] ---
    Group A, moving to the north.
[47:55] ---
    Group B, readying for
    an attack on the Empire itself.
[47:59] ---
    And Group C, which has started
    to move towards Dakia.
[48:04] ---
    It's believed that Group B,
    the one in the center, is their largest.
[48:08] ---
    But there's no reason
    to just face it head on.
[48:10] ---
    Strategic HQ wants to start at
    the north and strike them first,
[48:14] ---
    then head down to strike and encircle
    the main force from their flank.
[48:18] ---
    Then what's our job?
[48:22] ---
    To act as a mobile flying column.
[48:24] ---
    We'll be going ahead of the main units from
    central command that are heading north.
[48:28] ---
    But we can't ignore the pressure
    Group B is putting on us.
[48:32] ---
    Their sheer numbers make them
    difficult to deal with.
[48:35] ---
    Can the center hold while
    we're destroying Group A?
[48:40] ---
    Captain Weiss...
[48:42] ---
    Remember this.
[48:44] ---
    It's not the numbers on paper.
    It's what's inside that counts.
[48:49] ---
    Communists believe that
    the party is always right.
[48:52] ---
    They put politics above military logic.
[48:56] ---
    And if you go against that, you're purged.
[48:58] ---
    Do you want to tell me an army
    like that is a real army?
[49:05] ---
    Come in.
[49:06] ---
    Excuse me.
[49:07] ---
    Emergency request from the eastern forces.
[49:10] ---
    What?
[49:13] ---
    The 3rd and 32nd Divisions that are serving
    as the rear guard for withdrawal
[49:18] ---
    are being surrounded at Tiegenhoff.
[49:21] ---
    What about the eastern forces?
[49:22] ---
    This is their job.
[49:24] ---
    They've expended their strategic reserves
    in the battles so far.
[49:28] ---
    So they've come begging to the unit
    under Strategic HQ's direct command?
[49:32] ---
    Urban combat, huh?
[49:34] ---
    If the enemy has it heavily encircled,
    won't it be difficult to rescue them?
[49:38] ---
    Aerial photography from the area
    doesn't show any heavy guns.
[49:43] ---
    All we've been able to confirm is
    a small number of field artillery pieces.
[49:46] ---
    Heavy guns are incredibly slow.
[49:49] ---
    The Federation's got the same problems
    moving the things as we do.
[49:53] ---
    But it's possible that there are long-range
    railway guns deployed near the border.
[49:59] ---
    That's true.
[50:00] ---
    Something their size could
    cause serious damage.
[50:06] ---
    You're right to not
    underestimate your enemy.
[50:10] ---
    But even railway guns
    aren't a serious threat.
[50:14] ---
    In all our battles against the Federation,
    we've yet to see a single observer mage.
[50:20] ---
    Even if their infantry
    have observers with them,
[50:24] ---
    its not realistic for them
    to adapt on the fly.
[50:27] ---
    You're right, come to think of it.
[50:29] ---
    So it's possible to save them.
[50:31] ---
    But the 203rd Battalion has already
    received orders from Strategic HQ.
[50:38] ---
    We report directly to Strategic HQ.
[50:43] ---
    So both of them need our help, huh?
[50:46] ---
    But a partial victory that leads
    to an overall defeat is worthless.
[50:51] ---
    I hate to do this to the eastern forces,
[50:53] ---
    but for the sake of our whole army,
    we should do the flying column mission.
[50:57] ---
    I hate to say it, but you're right.
[51:00] ---
    We'll just have to pray for Tiegenhoff.
[51:08] ---
    Major?
[51:10] ---
    What's wrong?
[51:11] ---
    This is an interesting position.
[51:14] ---
    Lieutenant Serebryakov...
[51:16] ---
    Bring me a more detailed map.
[51:17] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[51:18] ---
    A railway map, too.
[51:28] ---
    Tiegenhoff is in a good position.
[51:31] ---
    You could say it's a critical point in
    Strategic HQ's northern operations.
[51:36] ---
    I see!
[51:38] ---
    Aerial photography shows
    the rail lines are undamaged!
[51:41] ---
    We'll be able to resupply for our flying
    column mission at regular intervals.
[51:46] ---
    It's on a river and easy to defend,
[51:48] ---
    and also a fair distance away
    from the eastern borders.
[51:51] ---
    And we should be able to apply pressure to
    strategic transit points from there as well.
[51:55] ---
    It's the perfect base!
[51:58] ---
    Wonderful.
[52:01] ---
    Rescuing Tiegenhoff is
    the ultimate aufheben.
[52:04] ---
    We can give both the eastern forces
    and Strategic HQ what they want.
[52:09] ---
    We're gonna do it.
[52:11] ---
    Right!
[52:14] ---
    So we're saving people, huh?
[52:17] ---
    Lieutenant Serebryakov,
[52:18] ---
    have the troops load up
    all the medical supplies they can carry.
[52:21] ---
    Roger that!
[52:22] ---
    It would be nice if we could take
    some whiskey and cigarettes,
[52:25] ---
    but we barely have any to begin with.
[52:28] ---
    Don't worry about that, Major.
[52:31] ---
    Actually...
[52:33] ---
    We won a bunch from the eastern
    forces playing cards yesterday.
[52:36] ---
    I was going to put them in
    the battalion's warehouse,
[52:39] ---
    but we should share them with our allies!
[52:42] ---
    I can't believe you, Captain Weiss.
[52:44] ---
    I thought you had more discipline
    as an officer.
[52:49] ---
    No, it was Lieutenant Serebryakov,
    not me, who took their stuff.
[53:04] ---
    We're counting on you!

    Our forces are advancing with

    There's no need to wait for

    Comrade Secretary, I have
    some other good news.
[57:06] ---
    Speak.
[57:08] ---
    Yes.
[57:10] ---
    That enemy unit is in Tiegenhoff right now.
[57:16] ---
    "That enemy unit"?
[57:17] ---
    The ones who did that,
    if you follow my meaning.
[57:24] ---
    An unforgivably barbaric offense!
[57:27] ---
    Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!
[57:31] ---
    There's no reason to let them live.
[57:35] ---
    The overwhelming numbers
    given to us by the Motherland!
[57:40] ---
    And the air planes birthed
    by our technology!
[57:45] ---
    And then...
[57:47] ---
    While they are a filthy
    imperialist curse...
[57:51] ---
    We can also send in
    the multinational volunteers!
[57:56] ---
    We'll send everything we've got at them!

    We get to fight too, right?

[59:20] ---
    You think it's a stupid order?
[59:22] ---
    That's right.
[59:24] ---
    The politicians back home must really want
    to get in the Federation's good graces.
[59:28] ---

[1:00:12] ---
    An attack! The Federation is attacking!
[1:00:15] ---
    How many?
[1:00:17] ---
    Eight divisions at a minimum.
[1:00:19] ---
    Eight divisions?
[1:00:21] ---
    That's the initial report
    from our air fleet.
[1:00:23] ---
    That's four times what we have!
[1:00:24] ---
    Yes. And that's the most
    optimistic estimate.
[1:00:31] ---
    They shouldn't have realized how
    important Tiegenhoff is yet!
[1:00:35] ---
    But they're abandoning their plans
    for a bold offensive?
[1:00:40] ---
    Commies aren't allowed to be that adaptable!
[1:00:43] ---
    Did they figure out my plan?
[1:00:44] ---
    Or did something leak?

[1:00:48] ---
    How?

    W-Well, the enemy is human, too.
[1:00:56] ---
    They can't get their heavy
    equipment here in time.
[1:00:58] ---
    They'll use their light forces
    to execute an attack first.
[1:01:02] ---
    At this rate, we might lose our new base.
[1:01:05] ---
    Wake everyone up, now!
[1:01:29] ---

[1:01:33] ---
    The answer is simple.
[1:01:35] ---
    We did nothing.
[1:01:37] ---
    Nothing.
[1:01:39] ---
    But the Federation is attacking us.
    They want to kill us.
[1:01:43] ---
    It's impossible for us to be good neighbors.
[1:01:46] ---
    This world isn't fair at all, it seems.
[1:01:50] ---
    If they wish to violate our rights,
[1:01:53] ---
    we must fight!
[1:01:57] ---
    I love freedom above all else.
[1:02:00] ---
    I will secure freedom,
[1:02:01] ---
    I will protect freedom,

    will not be allowed!

[1:23:42] ---
    If you say so, sir.
[1:23:45] ---
    Right now, we won't be able to win this war.
[1:23:51] ---
    We can't defeat the Federation, you say?
[1:23:53] ---
    Correct. As far as I know.
[1:23:57] ---
    Your personal opinion will suffice. Speak.
[1:23:59] ---
    At the present time,
    our forces are eking out
[1:24:02] ---
    meager victories not due to the
    strength of our organization,
[1:24:05] ---
    but due to the contributions
    of individual soldiers.
[1:24:08] ---
    This will not be sufficient
    to conquer the huge territory
[1:24:10] ---
    and vast space of the Federation.
[1:24:13] ---
    Without improvements to the organization,
     we will not win.
[1:24:17] ---
    In the last battle,
[1:24:19] ---
    we encountered something called
    a multinational volunteer force.
[1:24:23] ---
    What's particularly concerning
[1:24:24] ---
    is that soldiers from the Unified States
    were participating in this.
[1:24:28] ---
    So you're saying at some point,
    the Unified States will join the war?
[1:24:34] ---
    Yes.
[1:24:34] ---
    But the Empire presently has no
    plans for the strategic environment
[1:24:39] ---
    that would result if the US
    joined the war, do they?
[1:24:42] ---
    I'm unaware of any.
[1:24:45] ---
    You're concerned over nothing, Major.
[1:24:48] ---
    They are, and have always been,
     isolationists.
[1:24:50] ---
    You think they'd cross an ocean to involve
    themselves in the continent's doings?
[1:24:55] ---
    Of course, ideally, they won't.
[1:24:59] ---
    But is a World War without them possible?
[1:25:04] ---
    The answer is clear.
[1:25:06] ---
    It's not.
[1:25:11] ---
    So you're saying that in
    order to win this Great War,
[1:25:15] ---
    we need a reevaluation of our entire
    set of strategic assumptions?
[1:25:19] ---
    You're correct, sir.
[1:25:22] ---
    Instead of focusing too much on
    the victories we've had so far,
[1:25:25] ---
    we must engage in tactical research and
    training to use our forces as a single whole.
[1:25:30] ---
    I believe that's what will
    give us a chance at victory.
[1:25:35] ---
    And you want to be the one
    to lead that research?
[1:25:39] ---
    Yes. I would like to work in the rear,
[1:25:43] ---
    finding ways to strengthen our military
    and properly utilize our forces.
[1:25:46] ---
    I've come up with this specific proposal.
SIGN    "Unit Operations and Operational Mobility in the Great War"
[1:25:53] ---
    It's laid out so logically,
[1:25:55] ---
    with every possible objection answered...
[1:25:58] ---
    I never thought that
    could seem so eerie.
[1:26:05] ---
    You're taking the situation very lightly.
[1:26:08] ---
    You seem to have forgotten something.
[1:26:11] ---
    When you want to fight a war...
[1:26:14] ---
    This is how you do it!
[1:26:23] ---
    Shock power!
[1:26:24] ---
    And the Empire has that power.
[1:26:27] ---
    War isn't about tricks.
    It's a question of will.
[1:26:32] ---
    Remember that.
[1:26:36] ---
    The Empire is just like your fist. Wounded.
[1:26:41] ---
    Too much blood is being shed.
[1:26:43] ---
    Even a fist like this is
    still good for boxing.
[1:26:49] ---
    I must fight to the end, even if I'm alone.
[1:26:54] ---
    Sir,
[1:26:56] ---
    what awaits you after that battle?
[1:27:03] ---
    War is politics.
[1:27:05] ---
    Another means of foreign diplomacy.
[1:27:07] ---
    Thus, if you cannot bring the war
    to an appropriate conclusion...
[1:27:12] ---
    All that awaits you
[1:27:15] ---
    is a preparatory period for the next war.
[1:27:19] ---
    It may be the beginning
    of a new foolish mistake.
[1:27:27] ---
    Or perhaps the flames of destruction
    will envelop everything,
[1:27:32] ---
    and all that will remain is a wasteland.
[1:27:43] ---
    Even if you conquer the whole world
    and become a superpower,
[1:27:48] ---
    it will only mean that
    the conflict takes on a new form.
[1:27:56] ---
    In this world,
    even in the midst of your triumph,
[1:27:59] ---
    a single stab from behind may
    cause you to lose everything.
[1:28:07] ---
    As you said, victory is everything.
[1:28:11] ---
    But the war must be won properly.
[1:28:14] ---
    Otherwise,
[1:28:16] ---
    someday history will laugh at you.
[1:28:20] ---
    What matters with war is how you win it.
[1:28:29] ---
    I'll give you two months.
[1:28:32] ---
    I'll have you deployed to
    the west under my authority.
[1:28:36] ---
    What happens after that
    depends on your results.
[1:28:39] ---
    Get to work immediately
    examining the combat records
[1:28:41] ---
    and seeing what new tactics
    we can learn from them.
[1:28:43] ---
    Does that mean...
[1:28:48] ---
    Yes. The rear echelon mission you want.
[1:28:54] ---
    Understood!
[1:29:07] ---
    Tanya von Degurechaff...
[1:29:09] ---
    Warmonger, strategist...
[1:29:13] ---
    And child.
[1:29:15] ---
    Is this the ultimate form of
    the soldier that our Empire wanted?
[1:29:22] ---
    Major, in this insane world of war,
[1:29:26] ---
    what are you thinking?
[1:29:49] ---
    The rear echelon deployment I've dreamed of!
[1:29:52] ---
    Peace is finally mine!
[1:29:55] ---
    There's no reason for me to accept
    the cruel fate that God gave me!
[1:30:02] ---
    I refuse to get on my knees
    and beg God for salvation.
[1:30:07] ---
    Use the cards you've been given
    to get the future you want!
[1:30:12] ---
    That's the right that only humans have!
[1:30:14] ---
    That's what makes you human!
[1:30:19] ---
    Too bad for you, Being X!
SIGN    Two Months Later
SIGN    Imperial Western Garrison Warfare Research Institute
[1:32:06] ---
    From west to east, and then back west...
[1:32:10] ---
    But this time we're safe in the rear.
[1:32:13] ---
    I'd love to get some rest, but...
[1:32:17] ---
    It's hard to feel relaxed.
[1:32:19] ---
    Front lines syndrome, they call it.
[1:32:22] ---
    Really, how did this happen?
[1:32:32] ---
    The right person for the right job.
    That's how it should be.
[1:32:36] ---
    I'm going to keep doing such a
    good job that nobody can complain,
[1:32:39] ---
    and spend the rest of my
    life doing desk work.
[1:32:58] ---
    Yes, this is Lieutenant Colonel Degurechaff
    with the Warfare Research Institute.
[1:33:02] ---
    Hello, Lieutenant Colonel.
[1:33:04] ---
    Sir!
[1:33:05] ---
    I'm so grateful for
    the opportunity you gave me.
[1:33:08] ---
    I simply gave your abilities
    the recognition they deserved.
[1:33:13] ---
    You honor me too highly.
[1:33:15] ---
    Strategic HQ has decided to accept
    all of your suggestions.
[1:33:20] ---
    I'm so happy to hear that!
[1:33:23] ---
    We need to do practical research
    to learn how to best utilize our forces.
[1:33:28] ---
    And we'll have the proposer carry out
    that research on the front lines.
[1:33:37] ---
    Congratulations.
[1:33:38] ---
    We're giving you an entirely
    new combined arms unit.
[1:33:41] ---
    Oh, don't worry.
[1:33:43] ---
    The 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion
    will still be at its center.
[1:33:48] ---
    We won't take them from you.
[1:33:50] ---
    We'll also be giving you
    an infantry battalion,
[1:33:52] ---
    a mobile armor company,
[1:33:54] ---
    an artillery unit,
[1:33:55] ---
    as well as the ability to requisition
    some additional forces for yourself.
[1:33:59] ---
    This is the Empire's first
    combined arms unit.
[1:34:04] ---
    Officially,
[1:34:05] ---
    it'll be known as the Strategic HQ's
    Experimental Combat Arms Unit.
[1:34:09] ---
    But that's a bit of a mouthful.
[1:34:11] ---
    So we've given it the code name "Salamander."
[1:34:17] ---
    The Salamander "Kampfgruppe,"
    as you called it.
[1:34:21] ---
    I see.
[1:34:23] ---
    So that's what you were thinking
    when you gave her a mission in the rear?
[1:34:28] ---
    I wasn't thinking anything.
[1:34:31] ---
    She's the one who asked for it.
[1:34:47] ---
    How...
[1:34:51] ---
    How did this happen?!
