5. The people who moved from Earth
out into the surrounding galaxy...Copy !req
6. established the Galactic
Confederation in 2801 AD.Copy !req
7. This became the
1st Space year.Copy !req
8. It was the beginning of a golden age of
progress and vitality for the human race.Copy !req
9. Space year 296...Copy !req
10. Rudolf von Goldenbaum, a young
Confederation hero, became a politician.Copy !req
11. Possessing powerful
leadership qualities...Copy !req
12. he came to hold a strong position
in the Confederation Parliament.Copy !req
13. Then, in Space year 310...Copy !req
14. Rudolf, who held concurrently the posts
of Prime Minister and Head of State...Copy !req
15. established the Galactic Empire and
put himself in the position of Kaiser.Copy !req
16. The Space year was abolished
and the 1st Imperial year began.Copy !req
17. Rudolf's rule fell into tyranny.Copy !req
18. Eliminating and suppressing any who
objected, he ruled through intimidation.Copy !req
19. Imperial year 164...Copy !req
20. a young leader, Ale Heinessen,
escaped the Empire...Copy !req
21. and became the head
of a group of Republicans.Copy !req
22. Crossing a dangerous zone of space,
he escaped to the arm of Sagittarius...Copy !req
23. founded the Free Planets Alliance,
and resurrected the Space year.Copy !req
24. On Space year 640,
Imperial year 331...Copy !req
25. first contact between the Galactic Empire
and the Free Planets Alliance was made.Copy !req
26. For the next 150 years
the war dragged on.Copy !req
27. In particular, the Empire's construction
of Iserlohn Fortress in the Iserlohn Corridor...Copy !req
28. the only navigation route between
the Empire and the Alliance...Copy !req
29. was the cause
of much bloodshed.Copy !req
30. Now, Alliance Forces, under the command of Yang Wenli, have captured Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
31. Second firing of the
Thor Hammer, confirmed!Copy !req
32. It appears that His Excellency
Seeckt's flagship has been destroyed!Copy !req
33. Other ships are also
deserting the battle lines!Copy !req
34. Iserlohn...Copy !req
35. Iserlohn Fortress
has fallen. That's...Copy !req
36. Calm down.Copy !req
37. We can take Iserlohn
back at any time.Copy !req
38. But the problem is choosing
someone to do it.Copy !req
39. Planet OdinCopy !req
40. Imperial AdmiraltyCopy !req
41. Iserlohn has fallen?Copy !req
42. That's unbelieveable!Copy !req
43. Surely, there must
be some mistake.Copy !req
44. Wasn't Iserlohn Fortress impregnable?Copy !req
45. Those idiots! What in
the world were they doing?Copy !req
46. The Empire's three Chiefs of Staff,
the Secretary of War...Copy !req
47. the Supreme Command HQ Secretary
General and the Space Fleet Commander...Copy !req
48. via Secretary
of State Lichtenlade...Copy !req
49. reported the situation
to Kaiser Friedrich IV.Copy !req
50. Imperial territory must be sacred and
inviolable from foreign invasion.Copy !req
51. Your subjects are solely to
blame for causing this situation.Copy !req
52. It's disgraceful.Copy !req
53. It's a strange debate,
isn't it?Copy !req
54. We can't have foreigners
invading Imperial territory.Copy !req
55. Since when did the Alliance
become a foreign invader?Copy !req
56. Aren't they a rebel force
in an Imperial border zone?Copy !req
57. Your Excellency,
you're stubborn, too.Copy !req
58. It's because they're so worried
about appearances, and ignore reality...Copy !req
59. that we're
in this fix.Copy !req
60. Do you mean both Admirals Seeckt and
Stockhausen were defeated because of that?Copy !req
61. Exactly.Copy !req
62. At any rate, if Iserlohn has fallen,
there's nothing we can do about it.Copy !req
63. I will have assignments
for all of you soon.Copy !req
64. Do your best to
prepare your fleets.Copy !req
65. Yes, sir!Copy !req
66. Dismissed.Copy !req
67. Is there something
worrying you?Copy !req
68. Are you dissatisfied
with them?Copy !req
69. I chose my frontline commanders for
their courage and strategic ability.Copy !req
70. However...Copy !req
71. You have no advisors...Copy !req
72. You noticed?Copy !req
73. Is there anything
I can do?Copy !req
74. No...Copy !req
75. I want you to take command of
several fleets as their adjutant-general.Copy !req
76. I can't very well afford the
time to appoint advisors and such.Copy !req
77. Besides...Copy !req
78. No, never mind...Copy !req
79. Both Seeckt and Stockhausen.
What were they doing?Copy !req
80. So Iserlohn's command positions
ought to be combined.Copy !req
81. Even if we give our recommendations,
I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.Copy !req
82. Who will take responsibility?Copy !req
83. Since Seeckt is dead, and Stockhausen was captured by the enemy...Copy !req
84. the people concerned aren't
here to take responsibility.Copy !req
85. If you say
"the people concerned..."Copy !req
86. Seeckt's staff officer, Oberstein,
is coming back shamelessly.Copy !req
87. First of all,
we'll force him to resign.Copy !req
88. This is good,
but even if we do so...Copy !req
89. we, too, will need to
prepare written resignations.Copy !req
90. Your Excellency. Captain Oberstein
has come to request an interview.Copy !req
91. Oberstein?Copy !req
92. He was at the
Admiral's award ceremony.Copy !req
93. Oh, yes...Copy !req
94. This Oberstein.
What's his business?Copy !req
95. Certainly, he's the only surviving officer from Iserlohn's command staff to return, isn't he?Copy !req
96. There must be a reason he's
being so friendly, mustn't there?Copy !req
97. You won't see him?Copy !req
98. No...Copy !req
99. At any rate,
let him in.Copy !req
100. Yes, sir.Copy !req
101. Let Captain Oberstein in!Copy !req
102. Oberstein?Copy !req
103. What kind of business
do you have with me?Copy !req
104. First of all, I beg leave to
speak with you in private.Copy !req
105. There is nobody but
the three of us in here.Copy !req
106. Yes, Vice Admiral
Kircheis is here.Copy !req
107. Because he is, I am begging
leave to speak with you alone.Copy !req
108. Vice Admiral Kircheis
is the same as myself.Copy !req
109. Don't you know that?Copy !req
110. I know it.Copy !req
111. Then there's something you want to talk
about that you don't want Kircheis to hear.Copy !req
112. But if I tell him later,
ultimately, it is the same thing.Copy !req
113. You are, of course, free
to do that, Your Excellency.Copy !req
114. But to make Your Excellency's
leadership succeed...Copy !req
115. many different types of
talented men are necessary, I suppose.Copy !req
116. For "A,"
talk directed to "A"...Copy !req
117. and for "B" I think there
is also suitable duty.Copy !req
118. Your Excellency, perhaps I should
wait in the adjoining room?Copy !req
119. Very well.Copy !req
120. The truth is,
Your Excellency...Copy !req
121. at present I have been placed
in a rather difficult situation.Copy !req
122. I think you know.Copy !req
123. A deserter from Iserlohn.Copy !req
124. It's a matter of course that you
will be court-martialed, isn't it?Copy !req
125. Even though Admiral
Seeckt died heroically.Copy !req
126. To various commanders, I'm afraid I'm
no more than a cowardly deserter.Copy !req
127. However, Your Excellency,
I have something to say.Copy !req
128. I would like Your
Excellency to hear it.Copy !req
129. It's unreasonable, isn't it?Copy !req
130. It is not with me that you must
contend, it is the court-martial.Copy !req
131. You are the
commander's advisor.Copy !req
132. To not correct his mistakes,
is not to perform your duty.Copy !req
133. However, you pursued
your own safety.Copy !req
134. Putting forward that fact,
as a good excuse, is useless.Copy !req
135. You are mistaken.Copy !req
136. I am the only living survivor of the command staff from the Iserlohn stationed fleet.Copy !req
137. Just by surviving,
I am to be punished.Copy !req
138. As you see, both of
my eyes are cybernetic.Copy !req
139. I had no right to
live, as a weakling.Copy !req
140. If it had been during
the reign of Kaiser Rudolf...Copy !req
141. I would have been done
away with long since.Copy !req
142. Do you understand?Copy !req
143. I hate them.Copy !req
144. Kaiser Rudolf, and his descendants,
and all those produced by him.Copy !req
145. A bold speech,
isn't it?Copy !req
146. The Galactic Empire...Copy !req
147. No, the Goldenbaum
Dynasty must perish.Copy !req
148. If it is possible, I want to
destroy it with my own hands.Copy !req
149. But I have
no such talent.Copy !req
150. What I can do, is aid in
the entrance of a new leader.Copy !req
151. Your Excellency, Imperial Admiral,
Count Reinhard von Lohengramm.Copy !req
152. Do you know what
you're saying?Copy !req
153. Of course I do.Copy !req
154. How many times
shall I say it?Copy !req
155. The Goldenbaum
Dynasty must fall.Copy !req
156. Then, after that, there is nobody other than
Your Excellency who can build a new Empire.Copy !req
157. Kircheis!Copy !req
158. Arrest Captain Oberstein!Copy !req
159. There was a pledge of
treason against the Empire.Copy !req
160. As an Imperial soldier,
it cannot be forgiven!Copy !req
161. You, too, are this kind
of person, after all?Copy !req
162. Very well.Copy !req
163. Vice Admiral Kircheis,
please go in your narrow way...Copy !req
164. and take care of one
person with devotion.Copy !req
165. Vice Admiral Kircheis...Copy !req
166. can you shoot me?Copy !req
167. As you see,
I am unarmed.Copy !req
168. Can you shoot
me nonetheless?Copy !req
169. I'll bet you can't shoot.
That's the kind of man you are.Copy !req
170. You must not aid His Excellency's leadership,
and just that, to deserve respect.Copy !req
171. Without fail, in light,
shadows must follow.Copy !req
172. However, does young Count
Lohengramm not yet realize that?Copy !req
173. Kircheis.Copy !req
174. You're an outspoken man,
aren't you?Copy !req
175. I am grateful.Copy !req
176. It was hated by
Admiral Seeckt, too, no doubt.Copy !req
177. That Admiral was not a person who stirred
loyalty in the hearts of his subordinates.Copy !req
178. Very well.Copy !req
179. I'll purchase you
from the nobles.Copy !req
180. All of you, shirking responibility
and not sticking to your positions...Copy !req
181. I think that such good
grace must be laudable.Copy !req
182. But if the three seats of the
chiefs are empty simultaneously...Copy !req
183. at least one of them will
become Count Lohengramm's.Copy !req
184. His standing would increase.
And that would be helpful to him.Copy !req
185. We hadn't considered
that point...Copy !req
186. but we're
soldiers, too.Copy !req
187. I'm mortified that clinging to our positions
is expressed as a "mistaken attitude."Copy !req
188. If you please,
accept them.Copy !req
189. I see.Copy !req
190. If you say so much,
it's unavoidable.Copy !req
191. At any rate,
I'll inform His Majesty.Copy !req
192. I suppose we can't stop those
who say they want to resign.Copy !req
193. But...Copy !req
194. Summon Count Lohengramm.Copy !req
195. Which position do you want?Copy !req
196. Even if they hadn't rendered distinguished
personal service to the state...Copy !req
197. I cannot steal
another person's post.Copy !req
198. The surrender of Iserlohn Fortress was due to
the failures of both Seeckt and Stockhausen.Copy !req
199. However, Admiral Seeckt paid
for his crime with his death.Copy !req
200. And now the other one
is in an enemy prison.Copy !req
201. I don't think there is any other
person who must be held to account.Copy !req
202. If you please, I respectfully beg Your
Majesty not to blame the three chiefs.Copy !req
203. You have a point. What do you
think of what the Count says?Copy !req
204. I am struck with admiration for the Count's
opinion, which is unexpected of his youth.Copy !req
205. As a retainer, I beg for generosity
toward the three distinguished chiefs.Copy !req
206. If both of you say so, I will not even give
the three of them a severe punishment.Copy !req
207. I will leave the particulars
to the Secretary of State.Copy !req
208. Is that all
there is to discuss?Copy !req
209. It is so.Copy !req
210. Well then, I will
leave the two of you.Copy !req
211. I must see to
the world of flowers.Copy !req
212. There are no words of gratitude
for His Majesty's generosity, but...Copy !req
213. And being in accordance with that brat's
influence, it was reluctantly given, huh?Copy !req
214. Isn't it unexpectedly
unselfish of him?Copy !req
215. What?Copy !req
216. That's just the appearance he
put on for His Majesty's benefit.Copy !req
217. Count Lohengramm is coming to seek the exemption of Captain Oberstein!Copy !req
218. Oberstein?Copy !req
219. Yes... He wants to transfer
his posting to his own Admiralty.Copy !req
220. It's a very suspicious
arrangement, isn't it?Copy !req
221. I suppose we can't refuse.Copy !req
222. Only because we don't bask in the
favor of His Majesty's generosity.Copy !req
223. If that's his aim,
he's a crafty fellow.Copy !req
224. However, no matter how many "three
chiefs" seats it's in exchange for...Copy !req
225. I'm afraid it's
unthinkable until it's done.Copy !req
226. That is also true.Copy !req
227. Such things as the three chiefs' posts,
I can have at any time.Copy !req
228. I'll loan them to them for a little
while instead of an old folk's home.Copy !req
229. Because, on the whole, such
things as the three chiefs' posts...Copy !req
230. are simply stopping points to me.Copy !req
231. What's the matter, Kircheis?Copy !req
232. There's something you
want to say, isn't there?Copy !req
233. As the person at fault,
you should know.Copy !req
234. Don't be angry.Copy !req
235. I suppose it's about my
making Oberstein an advisor.Copy !req
236. Oberstein is a
dangerous man.Copy !req
237. I know.Copy !req
238. There's too much of a
habit of cutting off heads.Copy !req
239. He was no man to be lost to
the hands of such as Seeckt!Copy !req
240. Shall he be lost to the
hands of Lord Reinhard?Copy !req
241. I suppose so...Copy !req
242. I'm not expecting friendship
or loyalty in that man.Copy !req
243. I'm just making that
man useful to me.Copy !req
244. In order to accomplish
my own objective.Copy !req
245. Therefore, I will also
use Oberstein's mind.Copy !req
246. Without controlling Oberstein, do you think it's
possible to hope for the leadership of space?Copy !req
247. A drink?
I have some good wine.Copy !req
248. No...Copy !req
249. there's still some
work I need to do today.Copy !req
250. I see.Copy !req
251. We'll just use Oberstein
for the sake of our objective.Copy !req
252. Our objective?Copy !req
253. Let's hurry,
Lord Reinhard.Copy !req
254. We won't make it
in time for curfew.Copy !req
255. It's been so long since I saw
my sister, I forgot about the time.Copy !req
256. She was well, as always.Copy !req
257. Can anyone be well in
a place like that?Copy !req
258. Kircheis, it's a shortcut!Copy !req
259. Lord Reinhard...Copy !req
260. Isn't it okay?Copy !req
261. Hey, don't disobey. If you do
as I say, it won't be bad!Copy !req
262. Please don't...Copy !req
263. If it's money you want, I'll give it to you.
Or I'll have you live in my house.Copy !req
264. There's someone I'm
promised to for the future.Copy !req
265. So what?Copy !req
266. Someone who can compare
with a noble like me?Copy !req
267. S... somebody!Copy !req
268. Even if somebody comes, there's
no one who can oppose me!Copy !req
269. Also, what'll happen to you if
you don't do as I say, quietly?Copy !req
270. Lord Reinhard,
you take lots of risks.Copy !req
271. People like that...Copy !req
272. What do they
think people are?Copy !req
273. Assuming it's a matter
of course to rule over them.Copy !req
274. Stealing from people
and insulting people...Copy !req
275. yet they say that it's
their privilege to be forgiven?Copy !req
276. Those people are corrupt!Copy !req
277. This empire is corrupt!Copy !req
278. Lord Reinhard.Copy !req
279. I don't think I can forgive Rudolf,
and what he did, becoming Kaiser.Copy !req
280. He set up people who
flattered him as nobles...Copy !req
281. and the result of
that is that disgrace.Copy !req
282. Haven't you thought things
like this, Kircheis?Copy !req
283. The Goldenbaum Dynasty, as with the birth
of the human race, need not have happened.Copy !req
284. It's only been 500 years
since Rudolf built it.Copy !req
285. Before that, neither the Empire
nor the Goldenbaum family existed...Copy !req
286. and he was no more
than one citizen.Copy !req
287. Originally, Rudolf was no more than
an upstart man of ambition...Copy !req
288. And who, riding the current of the times,
was made into a sacred, inviolable Kaiser.Copy !req
289. Lord Reinhard.Copy !req
290. Kircheis.Copy !req
291. Yes?Copy !req
292. Do you think that what was possible
for Rudolf is impossible for me?Copy !req
293. It's okay.
There's no one here.Copy !req
294. Lord Reinhard, saying
such a thing as that...Copy !req
295. It's okay,
I've only told you.Copy !req
296. What do you think?
Is it possible?Copy !req
297. If it's you,
maybe you can do it.Copy !req
298. Come with me, Kircheis.Copy !req
299. Together, we'll have the universe!Copy !req
300. Please, win the universe,
Lord Reinhard.Copy !req
301. Then...Copy !req
302. The stars are no different
than they were that night.Copy !req
303. Your Excellency, you don't regret
this latest disposition, I suppose?Copy !req
304. It's not that.Copy !req
305. From here on, my battle is not
just a matter for the battlefield.Copy !req
306. Political struggles.
Imperial Court struggles.Copy !req
307. To avoid complications, both unending
deceit and murder may be necessary.Copy !req
308. Understand, Oberstein?Copy !req
309. It is for that reason
I have procured you.Copy !req
310. In exchange for the posts
of the three Chiefs of Staff...Copy !req
311. be of use to me.Copy !req
312. If you understand that much,
I have nothing to say.Copy !req
313. I'm afraid, Your Majesty.Copy !req
314. What is it?Copy !req
315. I say that I'm more than prepared
to incur your displeasure, but...Copy !req
316. About Count Lohengramm?Copy !req
317. I suppose you're saying that I give too much
power and status to Annerose's little brother.Copy !req
318. Your Majesty, did you say
that you agree with me?Copy !req
319. Since you don't know fear, you're not limited to wielding authority as senior statesman.Copy !req
320. Do you think I don't know that he's scheming to usurp the throne by taking advantage of me?Copy !req
321. So you've heard the rumors.Copy !req
322. Is it not good?Copy !req
323. Sire?Copy !req
324. As with the genesis
of the human race...Copy !req
325. there's no reason for the
existence of the Goldenbaum Dynasty.Copy !req
326. Just as there is no immortal person, I'm afraid
that there is also no indestructible nation.Copy !req
327. The evil truth may be that the
Galactic Empire will die out in my era.Copy !req
328. At any rate,
if it is to be destroyed...Copy !req
329. it should be destroyed
as magnificently as possible.Copy !req
