Legend of the Galactic Heroes 1x5

Directed by

A new admiralty is created for Reinhard. He chooses commoners and lesser nobles to command his fleets: August Samuel Wahlen, Cornelius Lutz, Karl Gustav Kempf, Fritz Josef Bittenfeld, Ernest Mecklinger, Wolfgang Mittermeyer and Oskar von Reuenthal. Meanwhile, Maximilian von Kastrop has rebelled against the Empire. He thinks he is safe because of the "Artemis Necklace", a system of powerfully armed satellites built with the help of Phezzan. Reinhard sends a fleet under Kircheis' command to put an end to the rebellion. He manages to destroy the necklace. Kastrop is killed by his retainers and is the only casualty of the operation.

1. D-YFI@AniDB

2. OF THE

3. The impregnable Iserlohn Fortress.

4. The only navigable route linking the Free Planets Alliance and the Galactic Empire...

5. is blocked by the Empire's huge satellite constructed in the Iserlohn Corridor.

6. Iserlohn Fortress

7. This fortress guards Imperial territory, preventing invasion by the Alliance.

8. The Alliance has devoted every effort to the capture of this fortress.

9. Six times during the past quarter century they've deployed massive fleets...

10. but they all ended as routs, with countless sacrifices.

11. There are two commanders in the Iserlohn Fortress.

12. The first is the Fortress Commander, Admiral Thoma von Stockhausen.

13. Admiral Thoma von Stockhausen

14. The other is commander of Iserlohn Stationed Fleet, Admiral Hans Dietrich von Seeckt.

15. Admiral Hans Dietrich von Seeckt

16. The two of them disagree about everything, simply despising each other.

17. While calling each other names, they compete fiercely for glory during Alliance attacks.

18. As a result, there is little cooperation between them.

19. This creates two competing forces at Iserlohn.

20. These are the fleet stationed at Iserlohn and led by Seeckt...

21. and the fortress garrison is led by Stockhausen.

22. There's also their huge weapon...

23. the giant cannon called the Thor Hammer.

24. The capture of Iserlohn Fortress was the first mission...

25. given to Yang Wenli as the commander of the newly formed 13th Fleet.

26. Planet Heinessen

27. Geez, you're still sleeping.

28. Please get up, Rear Admiral Yang!

29. Hey, get up!

30. Julian.

31. If... if I'm elected to the High Council...

32. the first thing I'll do is make it a capital offense to interfere with a morning nap...

33. What are you saying?

34. If you don't hurry, you'll be late for an important ceremony!

35. Important ceremony?

36. Have you forgotten?

37. It's the 13th Fleet's formation ceremony.

38. Gentlemen, the 13th Fleet is our military's crack unit.

39. The veterans of the Battle of Astate joined with our up and coming youth.

40. Their express purpose of capturing Iserlohn...

41. What "up and coming?"

42. Isn't it more like scraping together stragglers and novices?

43. The rumors say this fleet's supposed to capture Iserlohn Fortress.

44. You're saying that we, who missed death at Astate, are gonna get another chance?

45. Hey, whispering's prohibited.

46. I don't care.

47. In the first place, the commander doesn't even show up at the formation ceremony.

48. He's the Hero of El Facil? I don't know...

49. But somehow, isn't it just like him to run away?

50. shall we not fight together?

51. Oh, you're here! You're late!

52. I'm very sorry.

53. Hey, you're on right now!

54. Well, then, the first Commander of the 13th Fleet.

55. Let me introduce Rear Admiral Yang Wenli!

56. Let me see...

57. This is very...

58. In short...

59. "For the Fatherland?" "Risking Life?"

60. No... Why...?

61. Because we can only drink good tea while we're living.

62. Everybody, let's fight so we don't die.

63. Sensible, isn't he?

64. No kidding.

65. If I may say so, that was just like you.

66. Both the fact that the commander was late for the formation ceremony, and that speech.

67. I was flustered, I guess. My mind just went blank.

68. Rear Admiral Alex Cazellnu

69. By the way, about the capture of Iserlohn...

70. Is there any chance of victory...

71. with just half a fleet?

72. Whether there is or whether there isn't...

73. Hey! Is it a secret from me?

74. I'll just say this. You should wait 'til later.

75. You'll appreciate it more.

76. Fine.

77. If you need any resources, please don't hesitate to tell me.

78. In negotiations, without bribes...

79. I'm sorry!

80. I'm very sorry!

81. When you dishonor our uniforms, you dishonor our military!

82. Picking a fight with a young lady is so deplorable.

83. The Rosen Ritter

84. "Knights of the Rose"

85. Who the hell are you?

86. Walter von Schenkopp...

87. Colonel Walter von Schenkopp

88. If I said, "The Regimental Commander of the Rosen Ritter..."

89. does that ring a bell?

90. Be careful...

91. It seems you're worried about that stain!

92. Bastard! You think you can insult us?

93. We're officers under His Excellency Truniht's direct command!

94. He'll have you court-martialed!

95. Oh, please, go ahead.

96. And that court-martial will also include an officer who assaulted a civilian.

97. What if that was reported?

98. Sonuva bitch!

99. You can have me for an enemy, if you so wish.

100. L... let's go.

101. Whether in the Empire or the Alliance, corruption in the military is the same.

102. Thank you very much!

103. Knights of the Rose, huh?

104. As a close combat unit formed from children of Imperial exiles...

105. they have unmatched skill in battle, but no fleet can control them.

106. You mentioned resources a little while ago, didn't you...?

107. Please supply a ship from the Imperial Fleet.

108. There should be spoils from former battles.

109. And about 200 uniforms.

110. And...

111. And...?

112. Those Rosen Ritter in our fleet.

113. The Rosen Ritter?

114. Planet Odin

115. What?

116. That man is the commander of the newly formed 13th Fleet?

117. Yes, sir.

118. It's the latest report that the Defense Ministry got from Phezzan.

119. Indeed, it is being treated as insignificant, but...

120. Among the stars that sparkle in space, individual movement is insignificant.

121. However, the appearance of just one new star...

122. is a matter that will change all the star maps of space.

123. Yang Wenli...

124. are you only a planet...

125. or, are you a new shining fixed star?

126. Then, the other fleet commanders, eh?

127. Yang, I hear your fleet will assault Iserlohn.

128. What they're saying is...

129. "The baby in diapers will kill the lion, all alone."

130. But it was probably just drinking gossip.

131. It's pretty accurate, isn't it?

132. Is it?

133. If old man Bucock of the 5th Fleet says one word...

134. everybody will probably shut up.

135. How about tonight? Don't become a target for gossip.

136. Are you going to the promotion ceremony?

137. No... sorry, Attenborough.

138. But couldn't we do it another time?

139. There's less than a day left before the mobilization and I have no spare time at all.

140. Okay!

141. Well, at the next opportunity...

142. It's Cazellnu.

143. If you don't mind my asking, is the Fleet Commander's chair comfortable?

144. By the way, about the aide you requested from personnel...

145. Transferring a brilliant youngster was a tall order, but I found one who'll suit you.

146. The Salutatorian graduate of the Officer's School Class of 794.

147. Not exactly someone who was below average, eh?

148. Currently on duty in Information Analysis at the Joint Operations Division.

149. Chief of Staff Greenhill, personally made the recommendation.

150. You'll receive the records later.

151. Come in.

152. Reporting!

153. I have been appointed as your aide.

154. It Junior Grade Frederica Greenhill

155. Ltjg. Frederica Greenhill.

156. Frederica Greenhill?

157. It can't be...

158. Admiral Greenhill's...

159. Yes, sir.

160. I've heard all about you from my father.

161. That damned Cazellnu. He set me up.

162. N... no...

163. Well, I'm at a loss.

164. At any rate...

165. pleased to meet you, I guess.

166. Space year 796, April 27th.

167. The Free Planets' 13th Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Yang Wenli...

168. started on its journey to capture the Empire's Iserlohn Fortress.

169. Your Excellency, you're also taking risks, right?

170. If he fails, will you be forced to resign?

171. As things stand, I suppose I'll be forced to retire at the next election.

172. Fleet Admiral Sidney Sitolet

173. There was also the previous defeat at Astate.

174. If that happens...

175. Mr. Truniht's influence will increase.

176. Therefore, you're going to count on Rear Admiral Yang?

177. Admiral Dwight Greenhill

178. You seem pretty confident.

179. And you aren't?

180. 13th Fleet Flagship Hyperion

181. Admiral, all ships are prepared for launch.

182. 13th Fleet, set sail.

183. Although this dispatch is being called a drill...

184. we're approaching the Volhan Star System near Iserlohn Fortress...

185. Put plainly, we're approaching Iserlohn.

186. Yes, it's a full two weeks' journey to the corridor.

187. Commodore Fischer, I'll leave this situation up to you.

188. Then, they say the Admiral himself wanders alone through the streets of Heinessenpolis.

189. And he's leaving everything to old man Fischer, who's famous for fleet deployment.

190. Can we count on him?

191. and this is the plan that I've been considering.

192. It's impossible to take out Iserlohn Fortress just from the outside.

193. By infiltrating inside, we'll certainly end up controlling its nerve center.

194. Infiltration?

195. Fyodor Patorichev

196. Admiral Yang...

197. if we do, will we give that crucial task to this Rosen Ritter leader?

198. Oh... yeah.

199. Commodore Edwin Fischer

200. It's a solid fortress.

201. If the Imperials aren't careful, there's a large chance of success.

202. However...

203. Don't you know the rumors about the Rosen Ritter?

204. Murai

205. I've had them investigated.

206. Twelve previous regimental commanders...

207. Of those, four have died in battle against the Empire.

208. Two were promoted to flag officers, and afterwards retired.

209. And the remaining six betrayed us and ran back to the Empire.

210. In this dispatch, rumors are flying that the 13th Regimental Commander may also turn traitor.

211. Admiral, if, as the rumors say, I'm the 7th traitor, what'll you do?

212. I'll be in a fix.

213. That's a problem, I suppose.

214. If so, you'll be in plenty of trouble, won't you?

215. You're thinking I have some trick, I suppose?

216. I'm not really thinking anything.

217. Then you'll trust me completely?

218. Yes.

219. I want to hear why you believe in me that much.

220. The other day, I was there when you clashed with some of Truniht's officers.

221. You wouldn't treat them to even one glass of champagne.

222. That's why.

223. That's the only reason?

224. Unbelievable!

225. This is an important mission.

226. If he turns traitor, they'll say I was no judge of character.

227. The "one man hero" will disappear from this world.

228. Admiral!

229. The Admiral has left all fleet deployments to me.

230. This time, it's our turn to trust the Admiral.

231. Thank you.

232. May I ask a question?

233. Go ahead.

234. I want to know; what's your objective in this battle?

235. Is it glory?

236. Or is it promotion?

237. No, I don't think it's promotion.

238. To be called "Your Excellency" before the age of 30 is enough.

239. Moreover, if I'm still alive after this battle, I intend to retire.

240. Retire?

241. Yes.

242. Well, along with the pension, I'll also get a retirement disbursement.

243. Although one person will be eating frugally with me, costing some money.

244. Are you saying you'll retire under the present circumstances?

245. You say "these circumstances."

246. But if we succeed in capturing Iserlohn Fortress...

247. our Alliance can gain a strategic advantage.

248. Then it may be possible to conclude a satisfactory peace treaty with the Empire.

249. If so, I'll be at liberty to retire because there will be peace.

250. However, will that peace become a permanent matter?

251. There has never been "permanent peace" in human history.

252. But there have been plenty of ages with decades of peace.

253. In short, my hope is, haughtily enough, for a few decades of peace in the future.

254. But the chance they will exceed the length of the war by more than a tenth are very slim.

255. There's a 14 year old boy in my house.

256. I don't want to see him dragged off to battle.

257. That's all.

258. I've been hearing that you're a different sort of person.

259. This may be rude, Admiral. But are you an honest man?

260. Or are you the greatest sophist since Rudolf the Great? Which are you?

261. Well, I didn't expect an answer.

262. Now that the time has come. I'll do what I can.

263. For the sake of a permanent peace.

264. Here you are. It's got brandy in it.

265. Oh, thanks.

266. Lieutenant, what do you think of it? This operation, I mean.

267. It'll definitely succeed.

268. Why so sure?

269. Eight years ago, you succeeded at El Facil, didn't you?

270. You evacuated 3 million civilians from El Facil just before it surrendered.

271. The young hero, Ltjg. Yang Wenli.

272. So, you've heard that story, too.

273. You succeeded in planting absolute trust in one girl's heart at that time.

274. Planet El Facil

275. I was on El Facil with my mother.

276. Her family's home was there.

277. I clearly remember a young Lieutenant taking command...

278. gnawing a sandwich, because he didn't have spare time to eat.

279. But I suppose that Lieutenant long ago forgot about the 14 year old girl...

280. who brought you coffee in a paper cup when you choked on that sandwich.

281. Maybe you remember what you said after your life was saved by that coffee...?

282. What did I say?

283. "I hate coffee. I wish you'd given me tea."

284. That was rude of me.

285. Indeed, she has an incredible memory, just like the rumors say.

286. On May 13th...

287. the Alliance's 13th Fleet rushed into the Iserlohn Corridor.

288. There's no longer room for doubt!

289. This communications jamming is proof that the rebels are approaching.

290. Therefore, aren't you saying, Admiral Seekt...

291. that we can't even determine the enemy's position by launching?

292. Your Excellency, I'm receiving a strange transmission.

293. What is it?

294. Sir.

295. A light patrol ship dispatched from the Capital Planet Odin...

296. is under enemy attack and is presently engaged in combat.

297. They request assistance.

298. We'll launch immediately. We can't delay even an instant.

299. Your Excellency, please wait.

300. Captain Oberstein, is it? What is it?

301. Shouldn't we be cautious?

302. What?

303. Captain Paul von Oberstein

304. It appears to be an enemy diversion.

305. Shouldn't we observe the situation a little longer before moving?

306. If we go out, the enemy is waiting. Are you saying that we'd lose if we fought?

307. It's not that, but...

308. Then what?

309. We're soldiers! It's our duty to fight!

310. Furthermore, what good are we if we can't help an ally who's in trouble?

311. In any case, Admiral Seeckt...

312. there's some truth in what your staff officer says.

313. Without knowing whether it's an enemy or an ally, if we wait a little longer...

314. I'm the Fleet Commander!

315. I'll decide!

316. All ships! Launch at once!

317. I hope you have a miserable time getting back here.

318. In the end, they ran out of patience and came out, didn't they?

319. Number of ships, approximately 15,000!

320. My guess is that's about all of the ships in the fortress' fleet.

321. The enemy, not knowing our strength, will send out the greatest force they have...

322. as a means to contain the front line of the battle.

323. Admiral, preparations are complete.

324. We can launch at any time you order.

325. Oh, my. It seems it's not just the enemy who's impatient, eh?

326. Your Excellency, there's been another message from the patrol.

327. Those who have fought to reach the fortress...

328. are currently being pursued and attacked by the rebel fleet.

329. They beg for assistance...

330. What happened to the fortress fleet?

331. Communications have ceased.

332. Damn you, Seeckt. Where are you lurking?

333. Prepare to open fire!

334. Because we have allies out there, we can't use the main gun.

335. Yes, sir!

336. To all air defense personnel:

337. All gun turrets, prepare to open fire!

338. All gun turrets, prepare to open fire!

339. Raise the floating gun platforms!

340. Your Excellency...

341. outside the orbit of Planet Anshal, the fourth planet in the Tiamat system ahead...

342. there's a signal like an enemy fleet.

343. Found them...

344. Good.

345. Approach at once.

346. Fleet image confirmed!

347. Maximum magnification.

348. It's one of our patrol ships, the Bremen. The rebel fleet is visible behind it.

349. Open fire!

350. Wait! Make the situation clear to each gun turret!

351. Don't hit our allies!

352. Yes, sir!

353. The rebel fleet isn't coming into firing range.

354. They're retreating.

355. The bastards know all too well the power of this fortress from their last six defeats.

356. A message from the patrol.

357. Read it.

358. Yes, sir. "Thank you for your assistance."

359. "Because of serious damage, request urgent port entry."

360. Very well. Guide them to port.

361. At any rate, they've gotten in, haven't they?

362. The real work starts now.

363. He'll do it. If he's a Knight of the Rose.

364. Iserlohn Fortress is situated between the Empire and the Alliance.

365. It is the Empire's key strategic point.

366. The last six times the Alliance tried to capture it with large forces.

367. All of those attempts ended in complete failure.

368. Now, with scarcely half the forces, they must capture Iserlohn Fortress.

369. Yang's plan has begun.

370. To be continued in the next chapter.
