[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.

[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.
SIGN Southern Continent, Unified Year 1926

There are no enemies anywhere to be found!
[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.

[08:02] ---
Well done.
[08:03] ---
You accomplished great things down south.
[08:06] ---
I was extremely impressed
when I read the reports.
[08:09] ---
You honor me too highly.
[08:12] ---
I'm sure there were many unique
difficulties you faced in the desert.
[08:15] ---
By the way,
[08:16] ---
how is your unit?
[08:18] ---
Casualties were minimal.
[08:20] ---
We returned home with no serious losses.
[08:23] ---
How is morale? You've been involved
in a long series of battles.
[08:26] ---
Morale is high. The men are in great spirits.
[08:31] ---
You really are our ace battalion.

How could I have been so stupid?
[09:08] ---
I should've just said the unit had
suffered heavy losses, even if it was a lie!
[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!
[11:02] ---

and the Imperial family!

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.
[12:33] ---

[12:39] ---
Sooner or later, we're not going to be
able to avoid the worst-case scenario.
[12:43] ---
Do everything you can to remain hidden.
[12:46] ---
Check your mid-range radios again.
[12:49] ---
But maintain radio silence
until the absolute last minute.
[12:52] ---
Don't screw up and hit
the keys on accident.

As soon as we confirm them firing
on Imperial territory, report.

[12:58] ---
If they open fire...
[13:08] ---
Th-They fired.
[13:13] ---
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.
[13:26] ---
Switch to the battle response plan.
[13:28] ---
Release magical sealing.
[13:30] ---
All troops,
[13:30] ---
prepare for the assault!
[13:38] ---
Any mages sighted in their troops?
[13:39] ---
Not at the moment.
[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.
[13:52] ---
All troops have formed up!
[13:54] ---
Men, don't let these Communists spread

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
[15:32] ---
is the worst part of human history.
[15:35] ---
It's nothing but a waste of
materials and human resources.
[15:39] ---
But we're fighting Commies.
[15:42] ---
Totalitarians who infringe upon
the freedom of the individual.
[15:45] ---
There's no getting along with Commies.
[15:48] ---
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] ---
Roger.
[17:23] ---
I get to survive, I get to keep myself safe,
[17:25] ---
and I get to fuck with the Commies.
[17:27] ---
Three birds with one stone!
What an awesome plan!
[17:31] ---
It's great.
[17:32] ---
I love it.

[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.

collection that she succeeds.

Sounds like something
a politician would like.
[23:06] ---
As you can see, it's an excellent unit.
[23:09] ---
If you'd like, I can let you take over.
[23:13] ---
I'll admit I'd prefer not to
shake hands with wolves.
[23:16] ---
But I'd rather do that than
lead sheep into battle against a lion.
[23:21] ---
Any interest in being a sheepdog?
[23:24] ---
The world's a stage.
[23:26] ---
Everybody has to play some role.
[23:33] ---
But it doesn't need to be me.
[23:39] ---
You're right.
[23:42] ---
Let me give you one last warning.
[23:45] ---
The Federation purged
every one of its own mages.
[23:49] ---
They all got sent to the camps.
[23:53] ---
So the rumors were true?
[23:55] ---
Communists have no room for
X-factors like mages, it seems.
[24:04] ---
My, my... What a wonderful "ally" we've got.
[24:13] ---
Men, we're moving to a Federation facility.
[24:16] ---
This place is no ally.
[24:18] ---
Be very careful.
[24:22] ---
Yes, sir!
SIGN Somewhere in Moscow: People's Party Meeting Hall
[24:27] ---
That concludes the report from the front.
[24:32] ---
Comrade Secretary, if I may speak.
SIGN Internal Affairs Committee
Comrade Loria
SIGN Party Leader
Comrade Secretary Josef
[24:36] ---
Go ahead.
[24:40] ---
Thank you so much for that
report from the front lines.
[24:44] ---
I cannot thank those comrades who have
brought us this wonderful news enough.
[24:49] ---
But...
[24:51] ---
It's unacceptable that the Empire
was ready for us to begin our attack.
[24:57] ---
Why do you think that is, comrade?
[24:59] ---
I-I haven't the slightest...
[25:02] ---
Oh, you can't even come up
with an idea or two?
[25:05] ---
After all, Comrade Nicolai,
[25:08] ---
weren't you on quite good terms
with the Imperial Ambassador?
[25:11] ---
I... I only interacted with
the Imperialists in an official capacity.
[25:16] ---
You had dinner with him but a week ago,
and you now downplay the relationship?
[25:22] ---
Was that 20-year old wine he served good?
[25:26] ---
No!
[25:27] ---
Comrade Secretary,
[25:29] ---
why don't we ask our comrade
here for more details?
[25:35] ---
Go ahead.
[25:41] ---
W-Wait!
[25:42] ---
Listen to me!
[25:43] ---
I can explain everything!
[25:45] ---
I've never worked with the Empire!
[25:47] ---
Hey, let me go!
[25:51] ---
Comrades, I expect each of you to continue
to give your utmost for the Motherland.
[26:05] ---
Y-You really just want me
to drive around town?
[26:08] ---
Yes. Just another inspection of the city.
[26:11] ---
Even someone like me
needs a break every now and then.
[26:22] ---
How about that one?
[26:31] ---
Not great...
[26:33] ---
So close.
[26:35] ---
If I'd found her just a little sooner,
she would've been ripe for the picking.
[26:40] ---
What group are those idiots with?
[26:41] ---
This is a no-fly zone!
[26:43] ---
Is it that group of multinational volunteers?
[26:46] ---
That's why you can't trust mages.
[26:49] ---
I was right to send every last
one of them to the camps.
[27:09] ---
This is 02!
[27:10] ---
I've succeeded in destroying Moscow Plaza!
[27:13] ---
I've destroyed that ugly bronze statue!
[27:30] ---
03 has destroyed the snakes' nest.
[27:33] ---
I can see the secret police
fleeing in terror!
[27:44] ---
So even the AP rounds we use to
destroy enemy bases won't work?
[27:50] ---
This is 04. Our target isn't taking damage.
[27:53] ---
It's incredibly tough!
[27:55] ---
The goal of this operation is to
blow some stuff up and mock some people.
[28:01] ---
Don't push it. Turn around and go.
[28:04] ---
Roger. Executing order immediately.
[28:06] ---
All members of the battalion, I win the bet.
[28:10] ---
I told you even a teenager
could break through their AA.
[28:13] ---
And you were right, Major.
[28:17] ---
I'm glad you're willing to
accept your defeat like a man.
[28:20] ---
But I will show no mercy.
[28:22] ---
Everyone, when you get back, feel free
to enjoy a bottle of 02's best wine!
[28:27] ---
We haven't had a mission of
that scale since the beach.
[28:30] ---
I won't retreat a single step
in the face of alcohol.
[28:33] ---
You've got guts, you bastards!
[28:35] ---
Yes! Hooray!
[28:40] ---
Men, I'm glad you have
something to look forward to,
[28:44] ---
but work comes before recreation.
[28:47] ---
Continue the attack!
[28:49] ---
Roger!
[28:52] ---
Now, then...
[28:58] ---
So in this world, that thing was completed?
[29:03] ---
Members of 1st Company,
we're taking down the big guy there.
[29:08] ---
As soon as we're done, we'll attack
the other government facilities.
[29:11] ---
Activate magics.
[29:13] ---
Target: that big pile of shit!
[29:15] ---
Target: that big pile of shit!
[29:18] ---
Fire!
[29:23] ---
You might've shot an ally,
Warrant Officer Sue.
[29:27] ---
I-I'm sorry...
[29:29] ---
You really are a terrible shot...
[29:32] ---
Even though you're an
incredibly talented mage.
[29:35] ---
You've got that right.
[29:37] ---
It's the same for the rest of you.
[29:39] ---
You need to get used to the gun!
[29:41] ---
Make it a part of you!
[29:42] ---
Yes, sir!
[29:43] ---
Okay, keep firing!
[29:47] ---
Our equipment's in terrible shape.
[29:50] ---
And we haven't been given
enough ammunition to train with.
[29:53] ---
I'd like to issue a formal complaint.
[29:55] ---
I'll tell the party.
[29:57] ---
Yeah, you do that.
[30:05] ---
Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
[30:16] ---
Wh-What's going on?
[30:35] ---
Looks like their "People's Palace"
was more fragile than it looked.
[30:39] ---
Guess they shouldn't have rushed
the construction so much.
[30:42] ---
Looks like they shouldn't have
rationed the concrete so much.
[30:57] ---
You stupid Commie bastards.
[30:59] ---
You've got your altitude settings
stuck on "bomber."
[31:02] ---
Their aim is terrible, too.
[31:03] ---
Shall we take out the emplacements?
[31:05] ---
Shit or not, an enemy camp is an enemy camp.
[31:08] ---
I can't think of a reason
to take unnecessary damage.
[31:12] ---
I'm sorry!
[31:14] ---
Hey, Lieutenant,
[31:15] ---
you had a special reason to
hate the Commies too, didn't you?
[31:21] ---
I know a little about your background.
[31:24] ---
It was when I was a child.
[31:25] ---
I know!
[31:27] ---
Let's do something a little special for you.
[31:30] ---
If you're familiar with the place,
I'd like you to show me around.
[31:36] ---
Are you okay?
[31:37] ---
An attack?
[31:38] ---
What was that attack?
[31:39] ---
Vivi! Vivi!
[31:41] ---
Are you okay? Vivi!
[31:43] ---
Y-Yeah. I just got hit with some rubble.
[31:47] ---
But you're bleeding!
[31:48] ---
We need a medic!
[31:50] ---
M-Mary, calm down, please.
[31:54] ---
Sir, the whole city's under attack!
[31:58] ---
Is it the Empire?
[32:00] ---
The Empire...
[32:01] ---
We never should've borrowed
a Federation facility.
[32:04] ---
How much damage did we take?
[32:06] ---
Some injuries.
[32:07] ---
That, and we lost our place to sleep here.
[32:11] ---
Get the troops together.
[32:12] ---
We'll stay on standby and
move at the right time.
[32:23] ---
Mary!
[32:29] ---
Warrant Officer Sue, what are you doing?
[32:31] ---
I can't let them get away with this.
[32:33] ---
I'm going out there!
[32:34] ---
You are not!
[32:36] ---
Return to your position!
[32:37] ---
But they hurt one of us!
[32:39] ---
I see. So what?
[32:40] ---
"So what"?
[32:42] ---
The Empire may be killing the people
of the Federation right now!
[32:46] ---
Like I said, so what?
[32:48] ---
Even if they have a different
ideology than us,
[32:51] ---
if our allies are fighting,
we need to be with them!
[32:54] ---
That's what it means to
be a soldier, isn't it?
[32:57] ---
If you want to talk about being a soldier,
then first, follow orders!
[33:06] ---
Attention, citizens of the Federation!
[33:08] ---
What is this broadcast?
[33:10] ---
It's the Empire, apparently!
[33:11] ---
Where do we run?
[33:12] ---
Anywhere downtown is dangerous!
[33:14] ---
Run to the housing projects!
[33:16] ---
What is this warning?
[33:18] ---
Where's it coming from?
[33:20] ---
I don't know! But the Empire is
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!
[33:35] ---
Impossible!
[33:36] ---
The Empire?
[33:39] ---
How could this happen?
[34:51] ---
Wonderful.
[34:55] ---
How beautiful.
[34:57] ---
My blood feels like it's boiling over!
[34:59] ---
I want her!
[35:01] ---
I want her, no matter what!
[35:06] ---
What's this?
[35:10] ---
You bastards!
[35:11] ---
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.
[36:19] ---
Don't try to get near her!
[36:21] ---
Yes, sir!
[36:48] ---
Their training is on a whole other level.
[36:52] ---
Major! It doesn't seem
to be Federation forces.
[36:54] ---
What? But this is Commie airspace!
[36:59] ---
Their appearance and equipment
suggest a multinational force.
[37:02] ---
What?
[37:03] ---
There may be more.
Look for a chance to get out of here.
[37:14] ---
Phil! Keith!
[37:21] ---
She's out of ammo?
[37:25] ---
Give me power, God!
[37:29] ---
For peace! For justice!
[37:32] ---
You're bothering me.
[37:34] ---
This reminds me of something
that happened before.

But I guess that goes for both of us.

can you hear me? Wake up!
[39:16] ---
Warrant Officer Sue!
[39:17] ---
She's awake, it seems,
but she's badly injured.
[39:19] ---
Pick her up. We're heading back to base.
[39:22] ---
Hang in there, Mary!
[39:23] ---
Don't pass out on us!
[39:25] ---
Being shot with a gun hurts.
[39:29] ---
Even more when it's Dad's gun.
[39:33] ---
My dad was so nice...
[39:36] ---
And she killed him.

I'll make that demon pay.

I didn't think they'd destroy every
political symbol of the Federation,
[40:28] ---
put up a flag, and sing our anthem.
[40:37] ---
That's going too far.
[40:41] ---
At least we completely achieved
our goal of a strategic distraction.
[40:47] ---
Lieutenant Colonel,
[40:48] ---
it seems that even you
underestimated the major's powers.
[40:53] ---
It was the perfect distraction, in fact.
[40:57] ---
And the people are saying
it's a historic achievement.
[41:03] ---
The problem is the politicians.
[41:06] ---
We won't be able to submit
a peace proposal for a while.
[41:11] ---
Not after we completely crushed their pride.

[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?
[46:10] ---
I know about your past.
[46:12] ---
Your father died in combat
with the Empire, yes?
[46:17] ---
I can understand your hatred for the enemy.
[46:20] ---
But...
[46:22] ---
We're not murderers or avengers.
[46:26] ---
We're soldiers.
[46:28] ---
We're not fighting this war
out of personal feelings.
[46:37] ---
We're leaving Moscow in the morning.
[46:39] ---
If you're a soldier, don't conflate our enemy
and the object of your vengeance.
[47:01] ---
Within the Empire,
there's a demon I must defeat!
[47:15] ---
Everyone, wake up!
[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!
[53:05] ---
Save our allies!
[53:07] ---
Rescue Tiegenhoff!

Is there a problem?
[54:52] ---
N-No...
[54:53] ---
Thank you for coming!
[54:56] ---
We only survived because you got
here before their heavy guns did.
[54:59] ---
I'm glad we made it.
[55:02] ---
HQ is this way. I'll take you there.
[55:10] ---
Our job will be to protect HQ

[55:14] ---
What about you?
[55:15] ---
We'll use this city as our base
[55:18] ---

[55:21] ---
They're pretty rough on us.

I'd love to have a drink with you...
[55:36] ---
But I'll buy one for your men, someday.
[55:39] ---
I'm afraid my men are heavy drinkers.
[55:43] ---
They might bankrupt you, I think.
[55:49] ---
All right, then!
[55:50] ---
My whole battalion will pay for them!
[55:53] ---
Drink all you like!
[55:56] ---

I'll be going, then.

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!

Or did something leak?

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.

[1:16:29] ---
Oh God,
[1:16:31] ---
grant forgiveness to us sinners.
[1:16:36] ---
I pray that you guide them to your presence.
[1:16:39] ---
No!
[1:17:32] ---
Is she a monst—
[1:19:13] ---
Animal.
[1:19:14] ---
I don't have time for your shit.
[1:19:18] ---
Goodbye.
[1:20:00] ---
Major! Are you okay?
[1:20:02] ---
Yeah. Barely.
[1:20:09] ---
I wanted to kill her if I could.
[1:20:11] ---
No, I should've killed her.
[1:20:20] ---
Sir...
[1:20:22] ---
I can still fight.
[1:20:26] ---
Let me go back.
[1:20:29] ---
Let me go...
[1:20:32] ---
Please!
[1:20:35] ---
Let me kill that demon.
[1:20:36] ---
Shut up.
[1:20:40] ---
Lieutenant Colonel Drake, the Federation...
[1:20:43] ---
The Federation is retreating!
[1:20:45] ---
What?
[1:20:46] ---
It's a rout.
[1:20:47] ---
Everywhere, they're in chaos.
[1:20:52] ---
It's time to go. Let's get out of here.
[1:21:03] ---
Why?
[1:21:04] ---
Why, Daddy?
[1:21:15] ---
We don't have enough stretchers!
[1:21:17] ---
Well done!
[1:21:18] ---
Move him quick!
[1:21:19] ---
How many left?
[1:21:33] ---
Hey, want a smoke?
[1:21:43] ---
Being X once told me
[1:21:48] ---
that he'd throw me into "dire straits."
[1:21:53] ---
And he was right.
A peaceful life seems very far away.
[1:21:58] ---
Even the most veteran soldier gets tired.
[1:22:02] ---
Even an officer who gets promoted
still might not survive.
[1:22:09] ---
I can't even see an end
to this battle anymore.
[1:22:15] ---
A huge war that just keeps
growing and growing...
[1:22:19] ---
If that's the fate I've been given, then...
SIGN 10 Days After the Battle of Tiegenhoff
April 9th, Unified Year 1926
SIGN Imperial Strategic HQ
[1:22:38] ---
Major, what is this?
[1:22:41] ---
A request for transfer, sir.
[1:22:45] ---
I understand that, but...
[1:22:48] ---
You want a mission that doesn't
take you to the front lines?
[1:22:52] ---
Is this some kind of joke, Major?
[1:22:54] ---
No, I am extremely serious.
[1:22:58] ---
That warmonger wants a position in the rear?
[1:23:02] ---
What's going on here?
[1:23:04] ---
Major,
[1:23:05] ---
why do you wish to abandon the front lines?
[1:23:07] ---
To give up your mission?
[1:23:10] ---
Sir, I'm afraid I don't
understand your question.
[1:23:15] ---
Do you think this is some kind of game?
[1:23:18] ---
It's like a child throwing a tantrum.
[1:23:21] ---
I mean, she is a kid, but...
[1:23:23] ---
Don't tell me this is her rebellious phase!
[1:23:26] ---
Major, we have a high opinion of you.
[1:23:31] ---
I'm honored, sir.
[1:23:33] ---
So why would an ace like you
ask for a mission in the rear?
[1:23:38] ---
Tell us what you're really thinking.
[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!

[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?!
