Legend of the Galactic Heroes 1x11

Directed by

Susanna von Benemünde, a former favorite of the Emperor, wants to get rid of Annerose and win back the Emperor's love. She teams up with Flegel, who hopes that a scandal involving Annerose will lead to Reinhard's downfall. Annerose is abducted: she is to be killed and found with a supposed lover from the lower class. She is rescued by Kircheis, Reuenthal, Mittermeyer and Oberstein. Benemünde is forced to commit suicide. Flegel has been smart enough to leave no proof of his involvement, but Oberstein and Reinhard suspect him anyway.

2. OF THE

3. Admiral Yang Wenli captured the impregnable Iserlohn Fortress...

4. without spilling a single drop of allied blood.

5. The military victory was like a narcotic.

6. The bloodless occupation of Iserlohn Fortress produced a sweet intoxication...

7. which engulfed the hearts of the Free Planets Alliance.

8. Almost immediately, the public began greedily seeking total victory.

9. I was naive, too.

10. I thought that if we won Iserlohn, the desire for war would recede.

11. Your Excellency, the invasion into Imperial territory hasn't been decided yet.

12. Of course not. Just getting any firm decision is hard.

13. But it's not for us to decide. That's for the politicians.

14. I'm not happy trusting our fate to that lot, are you?

15. What's going on?

16. Hey, you!

17. Huh?

18. Well, well. Aren't you Admiral Yang?

19. Imagine meeting you in a place like this.

20. This is usually...

21. Uh, yeah.

22. So, why is everyone stopped?

23. Oh yes. The control center's computer is down.

24. The computer's down?

25. No, it's not the hardware. Someone probably fed it some bad input.

26. How soon will it be restored?

27. Sir, it will be about 4 hours.

28. Four hours?

29. Then we'll be late for the staff meeting.

30. How about this...

31. there's a public park just past here.

32. We could get a helicopter sent there.

33. Indeed. Good idea.

34. You, please arrange it at once.

35. Yes, sir. Very good.

36. Let's go.

37. As this rate, I'll be late for the council.

38. I'll be absent.

39. All this is because you didn't get me there earlier.

40. Still a late riser.

41. What?

42. Joanne Lebello

43. Well, if it isn't the great warrior.

44. What are you doing here? Taking a walk?

45. It's too bad I'm not a person of leisure.

46. Me, either. I'm so busy my head spins.

47. Generally, you soldiers are impossible.

48. You took 500,000 prisoners at Iserlohn.

49. Couldn't you just finish the matter cleanly?

50. Where will we raise the funds to support them?

51. Then you're suggesting we should have just killed the prisoners?

52. Of course not. This is a democracy.

53. We can't do anything that barbaric.

54. Admiral...

55. our ride.

56. Lebello, don't be angry. Come with us.

57. Where to?

58. I'll show you soldiers can be of use on some occasions.

59. I didn't know you and the Treasury Secretary were childhood friends.

60. We just happened to live in the same neighborhood.

61. Hey, hey. What a thing to say.

62. And I took such pains to get you aboard.

63. It's to be expected. It's important that I get to the High Council meeting.

64. Look down there. All from a dumb mistake.

65. Ridiculous!

66. It's because of this war that there are shortages of trained personnel.

67. Because there aren't 30 or 40 veteran engineers available...

68. this kind of simple mistake happens.

69. It's the military's fault for taking too many people?

70. That's right. Think about it a minute and you'll see.

71. There are still many people who don't understand that.

72. Sorry to trouble you, soldier.

73. Thanks for your help.

74. Lebello!

75. What?

76. It's true that the military presented the Imperial invasion plan to the council.

77. But not every soldier thinks of war as fun.

78. Yes, I know.

79. The Free Planets Alliance High Council.

80. All important decisions are made in that secret room.

81. How can we call this an open government?

82. What do you think our founding father, Heinessen, would think?

83. He's weeping in his grave.

84. Free Planets Alliance High Council

85. I hereby open this session of the High Council.

86. Today's agenda has been introduced by the military.

87. The plan to dispatch troops to Imperial territory.

88. Mr. Chairman!

89. Mr. Joanne Lebello.

90. As Secretary of the Treasury, I want to say one thing.

91. It's strange to say, but until now...

92. the Galactic Empire and our Alliance have fought a continuous war...

93. at a level that our economies can barely sustain.

94. But that has now become obsolete.

95. What do you mean?

96. If we escalate the war any further, in our financial state, our economy will collapse.

97. Suppose we increase the amount of paper money?

98. How long can we go on doing that?

99. Soon paper money will be worthless, and traded by the bushel.

100. I do not want to leave a legacy of debt to our posterity...

101. and be remembered as an incompetent during an age of historic inflation.

102. But if we don't win the war, there will be no future generations.

103. Then we should stop the war, shouldn't we?

104. Thanks to Admiral Yang, we've acquired Iserlohn Fortress.

105. The Imperial Fleet has lost its invasion base.

106. I think that now we can conclude a peace treaty on favorable terms.

107. Am I mistaken?

108. Hey, hey. Don't go too far.

109. The Secretary of the Treasury has a point.

110. But this is a war against tyranny and injustice.

111. Are you saying that because it's expensive, we should stop?

112. I think so, too.

113. The economic problems must be solved by internal effort.

114. Huang Louis

115. Speaking as Chairman of Human Resources, apart from the problem of the economy...

116. the problem of keeping talented people is also critical.

117. Too much talent is being consumed by the military.

118. Among the civilians, there are none but the elderly and children.

119. The way things are going, the social fabric of the Alliance will unravel.

120. This is not a time to expand the war.

121. Very well said.

122. Thanks.

123. Job Truniht

124. I understand what the Secretary of Human Resources is saying.

125. But, in the case of national defense, this is the moment of truth.

126. I'd like even one person's help.

127. But, Mr. Defense Chairman, won't it strain the principles of democracy...

128. to force the citizens to make further sacrifices?

129. The citizens can't bear the burden.

130. That's not the point.

131. Cornelia Windsor

132. It's our great duty to topple despotic governments.

133. We can explain it to the citizens and appeal to their patriotism.

134. There's never been anything great accomplished without some sacrifice.

135. The citizens have begun to wonder if the sacrifice is too great, Mrs. Windsor.

136. No sacrifice is too great.

137. We must try, even if we all die.

138. That's no longer a political argument.

139. We have a noble obligation to overthrow the Galactic Empire.

140. It is our duty to save the human race from the menace of that oppression.

141. This is no time to become intoxicated with cheap humanitarianism.

142. Which of us is intoxicated?

143. Let's see. There's some data here.

144. Please direct your attention to the screen.

145. This shows the proportion of the general population that supports this Council.

146. It continues to drop, and shows no sign of rising.

147. Meanwhile, there is a growing number that doesn't support us.

148. While this is regrettable, it is the trend.

149. As it stands, we have little hope of winning in the election next year.

150. It seems certain the Council will split with the majority.

151. But if we win a huge victory over the Empire in the next 100 days...

152. the opposition will barely reach 15%.

153. It will hinge on this vote on the military's plan.

154. I agree. We must.

155. Wait a minute! We have no right!

156. How can we dispatch troops solely as a means of maintaining political power?

157. Oh, my. How naive.

158. That woman...

159. Please don't lose your temper.

160. Well then, shall we put it to a vote?

161. Those who approve of the plan to invade Imperial territory, please signify by standing.

162. It appears to be a majority, then.

163. The Free Planets Alliance High Council hereby approves...

164. the military's plan to invade Imperial territory.

165. Sorry, Sitolet.

166. Admiral.

167. The High Council has made its decision.

168. It doesn't look like good news, then.

169. No sir. To discuss the matter, my father...

170. I mean, Chief of Staff Greenhill, has sent for you.

171. Chairman of Defense Truniht...

172. has the decision been made to invade the Empire?

173. I can't answer that. Please understand.

174. Is it true that you opposed the dispatch, Mr. Chairman?

175. I take pride in being a patriot.

176. But that doesn't mean I always stand with the war advocates.

177. So, that means it's true?

178. I officially announce that I'm opposed to the dispatch.

179. Chairman Truniht's quite an actor, isn't he?

180. Yes, but his decision is probably right, isn't it?

181. It's ridiculous to think we can win this time.

182. What?

183. Um... Excuse me, but who are you?

184. Commodore Andrew Fork

185. Commodore Andrew Fork.

186. Commodore Fork?

187. Vice Admiral Yang, this is Commodore Fork, the man who drafted the invasion plan.

188. Oh, that's...

189. It's a shame Vice Admiral Yang is opposed to this dispatch plan.

190. Given the Alliance's current strength, it's impossible.

191. Wasn't Vice Admiral Yang's capture of Iserlohn Fortress also called impossible?

192. Well, that's...

193. Or do you think that only Vice Admiral Yang can plan an Alliance victory?

194. Commodore Fork, you're not needed here.

195. You may leave.

196. That wasn't the reason, but I'd like your 13th Fleet to participate, too.

197. I wanted to tell you that I'm reorganizing it formally as a fleet...

198. by combining it with the surviving forces of the 2nd Fleet.

199. Yes, sir.

200. Do you support this operation, sir?

201. We must carry out our government's decisions.

202. Even when we think they are stupid decisions.

203. Isn't that the fundamental principle of the nation?

204. Besides, the people elected this government, didn't they?

205. Sometimes I have my doubts.

206. The Empire, with a few nobles ruling the masses, is bad government.

207. The Alliance, with a government chosen by the people, is badly governed.

208. Which one do you think is wrong?

209. Forgive me.

210. That's not proper talk for a soldier.

211. No, it's all right. I sometimes have doubts myself.

212. But that's not the kind of question we can easily answer.

213. Yes, sir.

214. Well, take care of your fleet organization.

215. And hurry.

216. Well, thanks to my fine Adjutant, I have a wealth of talent for organization.

217. So I'm pretty well off.

218. Will she be useful for that?

219. Yes.

220. One of the two navigation routes that connects the Free Planets and the Galactic Empire...

221. is the Phezzan Corridor.

222. Phezzan Dominion

223. It is controlled by the autonomous fief of Phezzan.

224. While Phezzan is officially an Imperial territory, it has a degree of autonomy.

225. Diplomacy and trade with the Alliance is given tacit permission.

226. Since Phezzan is caught between these two powers...

227. it has never sought to be the equal of either.

228. Rather, it is the center of 3 way trade including both the Alliance and Empire.

229. Also, it is natural that both information and refugees flow through here.

230. As part of this, both the Alliance and Empire maintain Commissioners in residence.

231. Phezzan was founded by Leopold Laap, a great merchant and native of Earth...

232. with the permission of the Empire.

233. At present, it is governed by the fifth autonomous feudal lord, Adrian Rubinsky.

234. So, this is Your Excellency's country home?

235. No, it's hers.

236. Mr. Rubinsky, how many lovers do you have?

237. Well, there are so many, I've lost count.

238. My, my, you are energetic.

239. Well, Your Excellency, I assume you invited me here to discuss something?

240. Yes. I think, as the Imperial High Commissioner, you will find it of great interest.

241. I was given this information in strict confidence.

242. The Alliance is planning a full scale military invasion against the Empire.

243. The Alliance? No, I mean those rebels.

244. Now that they've captured the Empire's important Iserlohn Fortress...

245. the Alliance's spirits are high, don't you think?

246. However, no matter how many Iserlohn Fortresses they steal, it's not enough.

247. No, the Alliance is clearly preparing a large scale invasion.

248. How large scale?

249. A military force of over 30 million soldiers.

250. 30 million men?

251. That's right.

252. I don't think they even have the skill to control that large a force.

253. Besides, why does Your Excellency give me this information?

254. Your Excellency, you embarrass me with that question.

255. After all, Phezzan is an Imperial Territory.

256. Have we ever not profited the Empire?

257. No, not that I can recall.

258. It is as you say, Your Excellency.

259. So, the Imperial invasion plan has been approved by the High Council.

260. First of all, we should get an assessment from the Chief Staff Officer...

261. concerning the organization of the troops.

262. Rear Admiral Cazellnu, will you explain?

263. Yes, sir.

264. First of all, the Commander in Chief of the Space Fleet will be...

265. Fleet Admiral Lazzll Lobos.

266. Fleet Admiral Lazzll Lobos

267. Chief of Staff will be Admiral Greenhill.

268. Operations Staff Officer, Vice Admiral Konev and 5 assistants.

269. Information Chief of Staff, Rear Admiral Borainen and 3 assistants.

270. There will be four Rear Staff officers.

271. Leading the fighting units, Vice Admiral Lufeber, 3rd Fleet.

272. Vice Admiral Bucock, 5th Fleet.

273. Vice Admiral Hoghwood, 7th Fleet.

274. Vice Admiral Appleton, 8th Fleet.

275. Vice Admiral Al Salem, 9th Fleet.

276. Vice Admiral Ulanfu, 10th Fleet.

277. Vice Admiral Borodin, 12th Fleet.

278. And Vice Admiral Yang, 13th Fleet.

279. All told, we'll send 8 fleets.

280. The general mobilization will amount to 30,227,400 men.

281. The detailed plan of attack for this expedition is still unsettled.

282. The purpose of today's meeting is to decide that.

283. I ask for your active suggestions and critiques.

284. Your Excellency.

285. I'm Operations Staff Officer Commodore Fork.

286. I believe this expedition is the most daring undertaking in the history of the Alliance.

287. As a staff officer, I'm honored to be allowed to participate in it.

288. A soldier could not ask for more than this.

289. I have a question to ask, Commander in Chief.

290. Because we are soldiers...

291. if there is an order to go, we will go, no matter where.

292. We must do so, because we're going to advance deep...

293. into the heart of the Goldenbaum Dynasty's territory.

294. We have to be thoroughly prepared.

295. First of all, I would like to know the strategic objectives of this expedition.

296. Operations Chief of Staff, explain.

297. Yes, sir.

298. The objective is to strike deep into Imperial territory with a large force.

299. With that alone, we will make the blood of the citizens of the Empire run cold.

300. Then you mean we are to invade without fighting, and then withdraw?

301. That's not the case.

302. We must maintain a high degree of flexibility, and react to events as the situation demands.

303. Please be a bit more specific. That's a little abstract.

304. He means we're supposed to look for a good chance.

305. Is there anything else?

306. May I?

307. Go ahead, Vice Admiral Yang.

308. I want to hear the reason why it was decided to invade the Empire at this time.

309. Isn't it for the upcoming election?

310. In war, there are opportunities.

311. If we miss this opportunity, we are at fate's mercy.

312. So what you're saying is, now is our chance to take the offensive against the Empire?

313. It's not just an offensive!

314. It's a great crusade!

315. Using Iserlohn Fortress as a bridgehead...

316. we'll invade deep into Imperial territory.

317. Faced with that, the Imperial Fleet will panic, and not know what to do.

318. The unprecedented, massive fleet of the Alliance will advance...

319. flying the flag of righteousness for the Free Planets Alliance.

320. There can't be anything other than victory!

321. However, in this operation, our supply lines will be very long.

322. It will cause difficulties with supplies and communications.

323. Furthermore, by merely attacking our long thin flank...

324. the enemy can easily cut our forces apart.

325. Why do you stress this possibility? The enemy will then be caught between our fleets.

326. Trapped from front and rear, we'll bombard them from all sides.

327. There is no doubt we will deal them a crushing defeat.

328. What Vice Admiral Yang imagines is an insignificant risk.

329. No. The commander of the Imperial Fleet will probably be Count Lohengramm.

330. Considering his demonstrated military genius, we must draw up a little more cautious plan.

331. Vice Admiral Yang, I know you think highly of Count Lohengramm...

332. but he's still young.

333. He may also fail.

334. That may be.

335. But if we make a bigger mistake than he does...

336. then he'll win, and we'll be destroyed.

337. That's no more than speculation, Vice Admiral Yang.

338. I'm afraid you overestimate the enemy.

339. As a warrior, that's disgraceful.

340. Furthermore, you lower our allies' morale, weakening their resolution.

341. I think you're helping the enemy...

342. Commodore Fork!

343. You're being rude.

344. How so?

345. Accusing anyone who questions your ideas, or advises caution, of aiding the enemy...

346. that's impolite.

347. I'm speaking generally.

348. I didn't intend to slander anyone.

349. Well, now...

350. the goal of this noble cause is to liberate 25 billion citizens of the Galactic Empire...

351. who are oppressed by its totalitarian government.

352. Anyone opposing this can't help but be seen as aiding the Empire.

353. Can anyone say I'm wrong?

354. Suppose they have a geographical advantage...

355. or even have a new weapon beyond our imagination...

356. We must not shrink from our duty!

357. If we act for a just cause, as a liberation force...

358. the citizens of the Empire will rush to greet us, cheering and aiding our advance!

359. And then...

360. Do you want to say you should have quit the military after all?

361. No.

362. But it's a good thing I turned down your resignation.

363. Even though I didn't expect a situation exactly like this...

364. your presence in the military is more important now than ever.

365. Especially while there are men like Fork.

366. He proposed this operation as his personal route to a seat on the High Council.

367. It's clear that his motive is greed for that promotion.

368. Yes, sir.

369. He graduated at the head of his class from the Officer's Academy.

370. He's aiming to hold the highest rank in the military one day.

371. But, in this situation, he's trying to eliminate his rivals.

372. We should be able to do better than that.

373. Indeed.

374. You can be slow sometimes. The only rival he has is you.

375. Me?

376. But, Chief, I...

377. It's not what you want that counts. It's what Fork thinks you want.

378. Besides, you've seen his personality.

379. He's trying to prove his genius with his eloquence, but without any actual results.

380. He discredits others to make himself look important.

381. But he isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

382. It's too dangerous to trust the fate of 30 million men to him.

383. So what you want me to do is stand against Commodore Fork?

384. You don't have to worry about Commodore Fork.

385. If you held the highest rank in the military, you could keep people like Fork in their place.

386. That's what I'm hoping will happen.

387. But you don't need me...

388. You're the only one we've got.

389. Your Excellency.

390. When this operation is over, I'll have to resign.

391. If we fail, I'll take the responsibility and resign.

392. If we succeed, I'll still retire and pass my position gracefully to Lobos.

393. Whichever way it works out, my future is decided.

394. But you're different.

395. Your Excellency, you always expect too much of me.

396. Just like at Iserlohn.

397. But you carried it off splendidly.

398. This time, you must do so, too. I'm counting on you.

399. This is a report from Count Remscheidt, our Commissioner on Phezzan.

400. And so the true source of the information is?

401. Probably Rubinsky.

402. What is the Black Fox of Phezzan planning?

403. Whatever, a force of 30 million men...

404. who shall we assign to intercept it?

405. Shouldn't it be given to that brat?

406. But that man... If he wins, he'll be even more full of himself.

407. Then let him be full of himself.

408. We should make use of his power while we can.

409. We can deal with a brat like that whenever we want to.

410. Yes, that's true.

411. The Free Planets Alliance Imperial invasion force using Iserlohn as its base of operations...

412. was dispatched with 8 fleets of 200,000 ships and 30 million men to Imperial territory.

413. I'm sure he'll come out. Count Reinhard von Lohengramm.

414. The situation is that all our fates depend on him.

415. Against that, the Kaiser gave Count Reinhard von Lohengramm...

416. an Imperial Command to intercept and repel the Alliance invasion.

417. Once again, the galaxy would be smeared with blood.
