2. OF THE
Copy !req
3. Siegfried Kircheis' special detachment
established control of the territories.
Copy !req
4. Reinhard's main fleet had just
defeated the Lippstadt Allied Forces.
Copy !req
5. They rejoined at
Geiersburg Fortress.
Copy !req
6. Kircheis...
Copy !req
7. Good work.
Copy !req
8. Admiral Kircheis's military service
is too distinguished, perhaps.
Copy !req
9. Favoritism in a supreme
ruler is unwise.
Copy !req
10. I'll bet you're tired.
Go ahead and sit down.
Copy !req
11. Would you prefer
wine or coffee?
Copy !req
12. It would be better if we had
some of my sister's cakes.
Copy !req
13. We mustn't expect too
much at the front lines.
Copy !req
14. Lord Reinhard,
we have to talk.
Copy !req
15. What about?
Copy !req
16. Planet Westerland, and the two million
civilians who were slaughtered there.
Copy !req
17. What about it?
Copy !req
18. There are those who say you were aware
of the plan, and allowed it anyway...
Copy !req
19. for political reasons.
Copy !req
20. Is it true?
Copy !req
21. It's true.
Copy !req
22. Lord Reinhard, I thought there was a
reason you wanted to control the Empire.
Copy !req
23. That is to bring equal justice,
which the Goldenbaum Dynasty couldn't do.
Copy !req
24. That much is obvious.
Copy !req
25. The high nobles have paid the price
for their 500 years of injustices.
Copy !req
26. In such historic events, it's inevitable
that blood will be shed, I suppose.
Copy !req
27. But you can't
sacrifice innocent lives.
Copy !req
28. Lord Reinhard, the new order you
will establish must be based...
Copy !req
29. on liberating the citizens who have
been unfairly oppressed for so long.
Copy !req
30. To use innocent people as sacrifices
just undermines your own cause.
Copy !req
31. I told you,
I know that.
Copy !req
32. The civil war has ended
sooner than we expected.
Copy !req
33. As it turned out,
our losses were few.
Copy !req
34. Strategically and politically,
it was necessary.
Copy !req
35. Lord Reinhard...
Copy !req
36. If your opponents are the high nobles,
it is a struggle among equals.
Copy !req
37. No matter what means you use,
there is no shame.
Copy !req
38. But if you sacrifice innocent people,
your hands are stained with blood.
Copy !req
39. No matter how you try to justify it,
you can't wash away that stain.
Copy !req
40. Lord Reinhard, of all people, why do you lower
yourself for the sake of a temporary gain?
Copy !req
41. That's enough preaching!
Copy !req
42. Listen, Kircheis, I didn't
ask for your opinion on this.
Copy !req
43. When I want your advice,
I'll ask for it!
Copy !req
44. No, you didn't
ask for it.
Copy !req
45. That's right.
Copy !req
46. You should offer advice
only when I request it.
Copy !req
47. What's done is done.
Say no more.
Copy !req
48. But, Lord Reinhard...
Copy !req
49. If you sacrifice civilians
for mere political convenience...
Copy !req
50. what's the difference between
that and Rudolf von Goldenbaum?
Copy !req
51. Kircheis!
Copy !req
52. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
53. What are you to me?
Copy !req
54. I am Your Excellency's loyal subject,
Marquis Lohengramm.
Copy !req
55. We mustn't waste any time
in dealing with Westerland.
Copy !req
56. We'll have to dispatch a fleet
immediately to prevent the attack.
Copy !req
57. One moment, Your Excellency.
Copy !req
58. We should allow that insane Braunschweig
to carry out his brutal attack.
Copy !req
59. What?
Copy !req
60. That way, by recording the act, we
demonstrate the brutality of the high nobles.
Copy !req
61. No doubt the citizens and common soldiers
under their control will then abandon them.
Copy !req
62. That will help our cause more
than preventing the attack.
Copy !req
63. You want me to leave
Westerland to die?
Copy !req
64. If the nobles win this civil war, that kind
of cruelty will be repeated many times.
Copy !req
65. By showing the whole
Empire their true colors now...
Copy !req
66. it will demonstrate they have
no right to rule the universe.
Copy !req
67. But there are 2 million
people on Westerland!
Copy !req
68. Including women and children.
Copy !req
69. They...
Copy !req
70. Your Excellency,
look at it logically.
Copy !req
71. If you're worried
about 2 million lives...
Copy !req
72. there will surely be far more casualties
than that if this civil war drags on.
Copy !req
73. Please take that
into consideration.
Copy !req
74. Human lives can't
be calculated like that!
Copy !req
75. Your Excellency, you must
become ruler first.
Copy !req
76. For the sake of a greater
good in the future...
Copy !req
77. there are times when rulers must
accept the necessity of sacrifice.
Copy !req
78. Your Excellency,
you must decide now.
Copy !req
79. Weigh the good of the
25 billion citizens of the Empire.
Copy !req
80. Your Excellency...
Copy !req
81. When will the attack
on Westerland begin?
Copy !req
82. In about 6 hours.
Copy !req
83. Put the fleet on alert
for immediate dispatch.
Copy !req
84. Your Excellency...
Copy !req
85. Don't misunderstand.
Copy !req
86. I'll wait to decide until
the last possible moment.
Copy !req
87. Leave me until I call.
Copy !req
88. Kircheis...
Copy !req
89. . when you're not here,
I'm afraid you'll never forgive me.
Copy !req
90. Can this be the
path we chose?
Copy !req
91. What's this...?
Copy !req
92. What does this mean?
Copy !req
93. It seems the enemy attack
was earlier than we expected.
Copy !req
94. I'm sorry to report that the fleet
you dispatched was not in time.
Copy !req
95. What?
Copy !req
96. Then where is this
image coming from?
Copy !req
97. It's from the reconnaissance vessel
I sent ahead as a precaution.
Copy !req
98. Oberstein...!
Copy !req
99. We will beam these images
throughout the Empire.
Copy !req
100. Even a child will understand
that righteousness is on our side.
Copy !req
101. The nobles have
hung themselves.
Copy !req
102. What's the matter,
Your Excellency?
Copy !req
103. It's true I didn't give an
explicit order to intercept...
Copy !req
104. However...
Copy !req
105. Your Excellency did send a
fleet to intercept the attack.
Copy !req
106. However, the enemy
attack was too swift.
Copy !req
107. This is the result.
Copy !req
108. Damn you,
you planned it.
Copy !req
109. There's no sense complaining
about the deed after it is done.
Copy !req
110. We must make the most
of the current situation.
Copy !req
111. We must do justice to the
2 million lives sacrificed.
Copy !req
112. Kircheis will just have to
understand the need for dirty hands.
Copy !req
113. Sooner or later,
Lord Reinhard will understand.
Copy !req
114. Won't he,
Lady Annerose...?
Copy !req
115. Well, I'm looking forward
to the day you come back home.
Copy !req
116. Auf Wiedersehn.
Copy !req
117. Reinhard, how are...
Copy !req
118. Remember, never lose sight
of the truly important things.
Copy !req
119. Although at times they may seem a distraction,
rather than lose them and regret it later...
Copy !req
120. I want you to realize the value of
not losing them in the first place.
Copy !req
121. Whatever the problem,
consult Sieg and value his opinions.
Copy !req
122. So, it will be...
Copy !req
123. Whatever the problem,
consult Sieg...
Copy !req
124. consult Sieg...
Copy !req
125. My sister values Kircheis's
judgment more than mine?
Copy !req
126. Perhaps so...
Copy !req
127. Your Excellency, it's Oberstein.
Copy !req
128. Come in.
Copy !req
129. You called...?
Copy !req
130. Look at this.
Copy !req
131. It's a message from
Fraulein Mariendorf.
Copy !req
132. Marquis Lohengramm,
the news of your victory...
Copy !req
133. The Imperial Prime Minister,
Prince Lichtenlade...
Copy !req
134. while handling the
affairs of state...
Copy !req
135. is stirring up the emotions of the
nobles who remained behind on Odin.
Copy !req
136. It appears he has
some far-reaching ambition.
Copy !req
137. You see the problem?
Copy !req
138. Prince Lichtenlade has discovered the
high nobles are now out of the way.
Copy !req
139. So now he thinks
of us as a hindrance.
Copy !req
140. That's what it
probably means.
Copy !req
141. That old fox.
Copy !req
142. He's wasted no time
stabbing me in the back.
Copy !req
143. Oberstein, as soon as tomorrow's
victory celebration is over...
Copy !req
144. you will return
to Odin ahead of me.
Copy !req
145. Take steps against the
enemy at our backs.
Copy !req
146. As you wish.
Copy !req
147. But there is another
matter I wish to discuss...
Copy !req
148. What is it?
Copy !req
149. It's about
High Admiral Kircheis.
Copy !req
150. Are you going to tell me again that
I entrust too much power to Kircheis?
Copy !req
151. I am.
Copy !req
152. It isn't wise to show him special
treatment like you did before...
Copy !req
153. especially in front
of the other commanders.
Copy !req
154. I've told you before,
Kircheis is the same as myself.
Copy !req
155. Even if the whole
universe were my enemy...
Copy !req
156. Kircheis would still
be my friend.
Copy !req
157. In fact, it has been that
way for a long time.
Copy !req
158. Therefore, I have
rewarded his loyalty.
Copy !req
159. What's wrong with that?
Copy !req
160. Your Excellency! I'm not suggesting
you purge or banish Admiral Kircheis!
Copy !req
161. Just treat him the same way as
you do Reuental and Mittermeyer.
Copy !req
162. All I'm saying is that you should
treat your loyal subordinates well.
Copy !req
163. There is no room
for a "Number 2."
Copy !req
164. Your subordinates'
loyalties are irreplaceable.
Copy !req
165. Your Excellency can't hope
for a stable government...
Copy !req
166. if you do not wield
complete authority.
Copy !req
167. All right. Enough.
Copy !req
168. Drop it.
Copy !req
169. Did you hear?
Copy !req
170. Marquis Lohengramm and Kircheis
had some harsh words.
Copy !req
171. Do you think it's true?
Copy !req
172. It's a rumor.
Copy !req
173. Nevertheless,
it's a dangerous rumor.
Copy !req
174. It's extremely dangerous.
Copy !req
175. Is there anything
we should do?
Copy !req
176. If we meddle, we could
spark a nasty backlash.
Copy !req
177. Besides, the Chief of Staff will probably
put in a few uncalled for words.
Copy !req
178. Oberstein?
Copy !req
179. He's a sharp guy,
I admit.
Copy !req
180. I don't like his tendency of
causing unnecessary problems.
Copy !req
181. The usual "a Number 2
is unnecessary" debate?
Copy !req
182. There is some merit
in that debate.
Copy !req
183. But he's shouldn't try to change the ways
of a man who's done very well so far...
Copy !req
184. just because it's
unreasonable to him.
Copy !req
185. Especially if it's a
relationship between people.
Copy !req
186. I win.
Copy !req
187. Four Jacks.
Tomorrow's wine is your treat.
Copy !req
188. I have 4 of a kind, too.
Queens and a Joker.
Copy !req
189. Too bad, Gale Wolf.
Copy !req
190. Sheesh. As always, you've got
good luck with the ladies.
Copy !req
191. I'm not having much luck tonight.
I think I'll retire.
Copy !req
192. Oh, just like a famous commander,
knowing when to retreat.
Copy !req
193. You won't be saying
that next time. Bye.
Copy !req
194. Number 2, huh?
Copy !req
195. Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm
returned to Geiersburg Fortress...
Copy !req
196. to attend the victory
celebration the next day.
Copy !req
197. Excuse me.
Copy !req
198. Weapons are not
permitted in the hall.
Copy !req
199. I'll take charge
of that, please.
Copy !req
200. I'm High Admiral Kircheis.
Copy !req
201. It's never mattered before
that I carried a weapon.
Copy !req
202. I am very sorry, but I was
ordered not to make any exceptions.
Copy !req
203. No, it's fine. Here.
Copy !req
204. Imperial Forces Supreme Commander...
Copy !req
205. His Excellency,
Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm!
Copy !req
206. We'll begin the
audience with the POWs.
Copy !req
207. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
208. I'd like to be alone.
Copy !req
209. Reinhard...
Copy !req
210. Say, Kircheis...
Copy !req
211. The Galactic Empire is at war
with the Rebel Alliance, isn't it?
Copy !req
212. Yes.
Copy !req
213. We've been fighting
for about 140 years.
Copy !req
214. Then what are they doing?
Copy !req
215. While men are dying
on the battlefields...
Copy !req
216. they're holding a festival?
Copy !req
217. The high nobles' relatives
don't have to go to war.
Copy !req
218. In the end, that's why the high
nobles know nothing of others' pain.
Copy !req
219. Power.
Copy !req
220. I want power.
Copy !req
221. Reinhard?
Copy !req
222. The power to get
my sister back...
Copy !req
223. and just to live without having to listen
to what those worthless people say!
Copy !req
224. If the nobles are my opponents,
then power to surpass the nobles!
Copy !req
225. If the Kaiser is my opponent
then power to surpass the Kaiser!
Copy !req
226. People like that...
Copy !req
227. what do they
think people are?
Copy !req
228. They assume it's a matter
of course to rule over others.
Copy !req
229. Stealing from people,
and insulting people...
Copy !req
230. yet they say that it's
their privilege to be forgiven?
Copy !req
231. Those people are corrupt!
Copy !req
232. This Empire is corrupt!
Copy !req
233. Lord Reinhard!
Copy !req
234. What I particularly don't forgive Rudolf
for is what he did after he became Kaiser!
Copy !req
235. He set up the people who
flattered him as nobles...
Copy !req
236. and the result of
that is that shame.
Copy !req
237. Haven't you thought things
like this, Kircheis?
Copy !req
238. The Goldenbaum Dynasty didn't
begin when the history of mankind did.
Copy !req
239. It's only been 500 years
since Rudolf built it.
Copy !req
240. Yes...
Copy !req
241. Before that,
the Empire didn't exist...
Copy !req
242. and Goldenbaum was just
an ordinary citizen.
Copy !req
243. Originally, Rudolf was no more
than an upstart man with ambition.
Copy !req
244. Then, riding the current of the times,
he was made into a sacred, inviolable Kaiser.
Copy !req
245. Lord Reinhard...
Copy !req
246. Kircheis.
Copy !req
247. Yes?
Copy !req
248. Do you think I can
do what Rudolf did?
Copy !req
249. It's okay.
There's no one here.
Copy !req
250. Lord Reinhard, it's unwise
to say things like that...
Copy !req
251. It's okay, Kircheis.
I've only told you.
Copy !req
252. What do you think?
Is it possible?
Copy !req
253. For you, maybe it's possible.
Copy !req
254. Come with me, Kircheis.
Copy !req
255. Together, we'll take the universe!
Copy !req
256. Then please win the universe,
Lord Reinhard, and then...
Copy !req
257. Kircheis...
Copy !req
258. Yes?
Copy !req
259. We'll do things
differently, won't we?
Copy !req
260. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
261. It is mortifying.
It's natural.
Copy !req
262. Tiamat... Astate...
And now, Amlitzer.
Copy !req
263. Why does the bastard show up and thwart
me just when I'm about to win completely?
Copy !req
264. For him, there must be
some dissatisfaction, too.
Copy !req
265. Why couldn't he play the game with
Count Lohengramm from the beginning?
Copy !req
266. Lord Reinhard, with Admiral Yang in front
of you, and the high nobles behind you...
Copy !req
267. you are surrounded
by two strong enemies.
Copy !req
268. Don't make enemies of
your own subordinates, too!
Copy !req
269. Understood.
I was wrong.
Copy !req
270. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
271. No, it is I who
must thank you.
Copy !req
272. You were right
to say it, Kircheis.
Copy !req
273. Kircheis...
Copy !req
274. Sir?
Copy !req
275. Do you think I can
gain the universe?
Copy !req
276. Nobody but you may
realize that, Lord Reinhard.
Copy !req
277. Because it's Lord Reinhard,
he will eventually understand.
Copy !req
278. That's been so
for the last 11 years.
Copy !req
279. Until now.
Copy !req
280. Fahrenheit?
Copy !req
281. It's been a long time.
Copy !req
282. Not since the
Astate encounter.
Copy !req
283. Correct.
Copy !req
284. You sided with Prince Braunschweig.
It's a mistake that you usually wouldn't make.
Copy !req
285. How about it?
Copy !req
286. From now on, will you
obey me as your commander...
Copy !req
287. and carry out your
duty as a soldier again?
Copy !req
288. I'm an Imperial soldier.
Copy !req
289. Since you now command the Imperial
Forces, I will respectfully obey your orders.
Copy !req
290. I feel I have come to it in a roundabout way,
but from now on, I have recovered.
Copy !req
291. Very well.
Copy !req
292. I think your talents are
too valuable to waste.
Copy !req
293. I will allow you to join
the ranks of the Admirals.
Copy !req
294. From now on, you will do
your best to serve me.
Copy !req
295. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
296. My Lord's remains
make a fine present.
Copy !req
297. Marquis Lohengramm,
I will avenge my lord!
