1. D-YFI@AniDB
Copy !req
2. OF THE
Copy !req
3. Universal Century 798.
Imperial Year 489.
Copy !req
4. The Free Planets Alliance announced the
defection of Emperor Erwin Josef II...
Copy !req
5. and the formation of the Galactic
Imperial Legitimate Government.
Copy !req
6. Prince Reinhard von Lohengramm's attitude
towards this was extremely merciless...
Copy !req
7. and a large offensive by
the Empire was anticipated.
Copy !req
8. Mr. Chairman, how are you going to deal
with the coming Imperial offensive?
Copy !req
9. There's nothing
to worry about.
Copy !req
10. We have the impregnable
defense of Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
11. and also the famous undefeated
commander, Admiral Yang.
Copy !req
12. No matter what Lohengramm
and the Empire try to do...
Copy !req
13. there's nothing
to be afraid of!
Copy !req
14. Yeah, that's true!
Copy !req
15. He's so selfish, isn't he?
Copy !req
16. He had the same Yang
he's now relying on...
Copy !req
17. called before an inquiry
less than half a year ago.
Copy !req
18. He has a short memory
when it's convenient.
Copy !req
19. Even if the prosecutor forgets,
I'm afraid the victim won't forget.
Copy !req
20. What do you think?
Copy !req
21. He must be fed up with
the current administration.
Copy !req
22. I think that's possible.
Copy !req
23. If his feelings
were strong enough...
Copy !req
24. he might even feel like setting
himself up as a military dictator.
Copy !req
25. He'd never...
Copy !req
26. You can laugh now,
until it happens.
Copy !req
27. How many times have I seen the sight of
laughing faces turning to grimaces overnight?
Copy !req
28. A number of ingredients are essential
to make a cocktail or a dictator.
Copy !req
29. For the time being, I think I can safely
say Yang Wenli won't become a dictator.
Copy !req
30. At least, the man himself
doesn't have such an ambition.
Copy !req
31. Not as long as the situation
develops as he desires.
Copy !req
32. If he's cornered again, like he was during the
inquiry, couldn't he turn to counterattack?
Copy !req
33. Might he reluctantly choose
to grasp power for himself?
Copy !req
34. It's as you say.
Copy !req
35. Therefore, we'd better
not provoke him too much.
Copy !req
36. Truniht's planning
something again, isn't he?
Copy !req
37. In preparation for the Empire's offensive, he's
fortifying the organization of each department.
Copy !req
38. Until now he seems to have been reluctant
to meddle directly with military matters.
Copy !req
39. I don't think he's been
that reluctant before now.
Copy !req
40. That means HQ Chief Kubersly will retire
soon, with illness as the official reason...
Copy !req
41. and his successor will
probably be Admiral Dawson.
Copy !req
42. Hey, hey, that won't strengthen
the military, it'll weaken it.
Copy !req
43. Can a man like him be of
any use in a time of crisis?
Copy !req
44. They're rewarding his
loyalty to Truniht.
Copy !req
45. At least it seems that they'll leave old Bucock
alone in charge of the actual fighting forces.
Copy !req
46. "Civilian control," sounds
like a good idea in theory...
Copy !req
47. but when the government thinks so much
about using the military to maintain power...
Copy !req
48. the soldiers intentionally fawn over
the politicians to gain advancement.
Copy !req
49. Is this the way a military in a
democratic republic should do things?
Copy !req
50. I'm afraid I have
to say this.
Copy !req
51. But maybe the citizens
of the Empire are happier.
Copy !req
52. Because they've just been rescued from
the worst situation, a corrupt dictatorship.
Copy !req
53. Our Alliance seems to be faced
with a very hard to answer dilemma.
Copy !req
54. Which do we want, a corrupt
democracy or a pure dictatorship?
Copy !req
55. Which has more
justice and order?
Copy !req
56. As Hwan Lewi predicted...
Copy !req
57. Admiral Dawson was promoted to HQ Chief
following Kubersly's retirement...
Copy !req
58. and Admiral Merkatz,
currently residing on Iserlohn...
Copy !req
59. was appointed the Secretary of the Army
of the Legitimate Imperial Government...
Copy !req
60. by an act of
the Supreme Council.
Copy !req
61. At the same time, another small appointment
was officially announced on Iserlohn.
Copy !req
62. Admiral...
Copy !req
63. Lt. Greenhill,
summon Julian for me.
Copy !req
64. Yes, sir...
Copy !req
65. Excuse me, Admiral...
Copy !req
66. Yeah, I know what
you want to say...
Copy !req
67. I think.
Copy !req
68. So would you
please call Julian?
Copy !req
69. Me?
To Phezzan?
Copy !req
70. Please revoke
these orders.
Copy !req
71. Julian, when you
were a civil servant...
Copy !req
72. assignments and changes were up to
the intentions of the station commander.
Copy !req
73. But now you're a soldier.
Copy !req
74. Your duty is to obey orders from the National
Defense Council and Joint Operations HQ.
Copy !req
75. Now that it's too late, please don't make
me recite something that elementary.
Copy !req
76. Even unreasonable orders?
Copy !req
77. How are they
unreasonable?
Copy !req
78. If this is going to happen,
I'll go back to being a civil servant.
Copy !req
79. Then I wouldn't have to
obey this order, would I?
Copy !req
80. Julian...
Copy !req
81. You ought to know whether
it's possible or not.
Copy !req
82. In the first place, you volunteered to
become a soldier, you weren't forced.
Copy !req
83. As a matter of course, you must have
had the resolution to obey orders.
Copy !req
84. Understood.
Copy !req
85. I'll go to my new post on Phezzan
as resident military attache.
Copy !req
86. But it's not because it's an
order from Joint Operations HQ.
Copy !req
87. It's because it's an order
from Admiral Yang Wenli.
Copy !req
88. If that's all you wanted me for, may
I have your permission to leave, Admiral?
Copy !req
89. I understand
how Julian feels.
Copy !req
90. I'm sure he feels as though
you don't want him around.
Copy !req
91. "Don't want him around?"
It's nothing like that.
Copy !req
92. To not keep him by my side
means he's unnecessary...
Copy !req
93. or to keep him by my
side because he's necessary?
Copy !req
94. That's not the
way things work.
Copy !req
95. No, being by my side doesn't indicate
whether he's needed or not...
Copy !req
96. We need to talk,
don't we?
Copy !req
97. Admiral...
Copy !req
98. Ummm, let's see...
Do you mind if I sit here?
Copy !req
99. Go ahead.
Copy !req
100. Look, Julian.
Copy !req
101. Yes, Admiral.
Copy !req
102. The reason you're going to Phezzan, more
than anything else, is because it's an order...
Copy !req
103. But as far
as I'm concerned...
Copy !req
104. I think I'd like to have a reliable person
go and look at Phezzan's internal situation.
Copy !req
105. And, even so, you're
reluctant to go?
Copy !req
106. But the way the situation is developing,
Iserlohn will be on the front line again.
Copy !req
107. I think I'd be
more useful here...
Copy !req
108. Well, that's the point, Julian.
Copy !req
109. Everybody assumes the Empire will
invade through the Iserlohn Corridor.
Copy !req
110. It's not as if there are
rules or laws that require that.
Copy !req
111. But then, where will
they invade from?
Copy !req
112. Make a large detour around
the galactic system?
Copy !req
113. All that's left is
the Phezzan Corridor...
Copy !req
114. Exactly.
Copy !req
115. For Prince Lohengramm, the most
effective strategy would be...
Copy !req
116. while besieging
Iserlohn with one fleet...
Copy !req
117. to break through the
Phezzan Corridor with another.
Copy !req
118. Since he has a large
enough military to do that...
Copy !req
119. then Iserlohn Fortress
will become isolated...
Copy !req
120. reduced to no more significance
than a pebble on the side of the road.
Copy !req
121. But then, won't the Empire
make an enemy of Phezzan?
Copy !req
122. That's a good question, but at this
juncture that shouldn't be a problem.
Copy !req
123. There are two ways that Prince Lohengramm
could pass through the Phezzan Corridor.
Copy !req
124. One way is if he can remove by direct
force the resistance of Phezzan.
Copy !req
125. The other way is if he knows there's no need
to concern himself with Phezzan's resistance.
Copy !req
126. You mean that Prince Lohengramm and
Phezzan are secretly working together?
Copy !req
127. Correct.
Copy !req
128. Julian, people tend to
make the common mistake...
Copy !req
129. of believing that a
situation will last forever.
Copy !req
130. Try and think about it.
Copy !req
131. The Galactic Empire didn't
exist five hundred years ago.
Copy !req
132. The history of the Free Planets
Alliance is half that length.
Copy !req
133. And Phezzan has reached an age
of no more than a century.
Copy !req
134. Anything that hasn't existed since the genesis
of the universe needn't survive until the end.
Copy !req
135. Change is sure to come.
Copy !req
136. That change, in the person of
Prince Reinhard von Lohengramm...
Copy !req
137. has first swept
the Galactic Empire...
Copy !req
138. and is now extending feelers, trying
to entangle all of human society in them.
Copy !req
139. Then will the Galactic
Empire be destroyed?
Copy !req
140. It will be destroyed.
Copy !req
141. No, in fact, it has
already been destroyed.
Copy !req
142. The true power is in
Prince Lohengramm's hands.
Copy !req
143. The Kaiser abandoned
his country and fled.
Copy !req
144. Only the name
hasn't changed.
Copy !req
145. In reality it's already
the Lohengramm Dynasty.
Copy !req
146. I'm sure you're right.
Copy !req
147. Nevertheless, how likely is it that Phezzan
has allied itself with Prince Lohengramm?
Copy !req
148. Consider the situation where
three forces, A, B, and C exist.
Copy !req
149. A and B are
mutually antagonistic.
Copy !req
150. C's strategy should
be something like this:
Copy !req
151. Help A, if A is
being threatened by B.
Copy !req
152. Help B, if B is
being pressured by A.
Copy !req
153. Prolong the quarrel between A and B,
and make both sides destroy each other.
Copy !req
154. However, if A's influence strengthens
conspicuously, such that the situation is...
Copy !req
155. that even if C helps B,
it will be hard to resist A.
Copy !req
156. Wouldn't C be better off to choose
to attack B in cooperation with A?
Copy !req
157. But, if it does, and the
oppressively enlarged A...
Copy !req
158. follows up the victory of having
destroyed B by attacking C...
Copy !req
159. isn't C marching down the road
from independence to destruction?
Copy !req
160. Yes, that's it.
Copy !req
161. The truth is, the nub
of my idea is also there.
Copy !req
162. By offering Phezzan's wealth and its
strategic position to Prince Lohengramm...
Copy !req
163. maybe Phezzan will risk
losing its political independence.
Copy !req
164. What are they planning
for that contingency?
Copy !req
165. Maybe Phezzan's objective isn't
Phezzan's own continued existence...
Copy !req
166. No, maybe that thought
leaps too far ahead.
Copy !req
167. In the first place,
I have no proof whatsoever.
Copy !req
168. I was thinking Phezzan's
intentions in the New Reich...
Copy !req
169. may be to monopolize
economic benefits.
Copy !req
170. Thus ascending
to the top.
Copy !req
171. But now I can't convince
myself very well.
Copy !req
172. If their motive's not material advantage
or calculation, could it be spiritual?
Copy !req
173. Spiritual?
Copy !req
174. For example, ideology,
or religion...?
Copy !req
175. Religion?
Copy !req
176. That's true.
That is a possibility.
Copy !req
177. Maybe I'm mistaken when I think of Phezzan as a group of "at face value hard nosed realists."
Copy !req
178. Religion?
Yes, indeed.
Copy !req
179. If I can go to Phezzan and discover even a
little concerning their plans and stratagems...
Copy !req
180. and if I can also find out about the
movements of the Imperial Military besides...
Copy !req
181. that'll be of use
to you, won't it?
Copy !req
182. In that case, I'll
gladly go to Phezzan.
Copy !req
183. Thank you.
Copy !req
184. But there's another reason
I think you should go to Phezzan.
Copy !req
185. What's that?
Copy !req
186. How should I say it?
Copy !req
187. Even if you look
at a mountain...
Copy !req
188. if you only look at it from one
direction, you can't grasp the whole...
Copy !req
189. No, rather than that, there's a
little something I want to ask you.
Copy !req
190. Sooner or later...
Copy !req
191. we'll probably have to fight Prince
Lohengramm, risking life and death.
Copy !req
192. But is Prince Lohengramm
really the embodiment of evil?
Copy !req
193. I don't think
that's true, but...
Copy !req
194. That's right.
Copy !req
195. Embodiments of evil don't exist
other than in television dramas.
Copy !req
196. If you talk about evil this time, the Alliance
aided the former system of the Empire.
Copy !req
197. That doesn't accelerate the flow of history,
it adds to the side that makes the flow reverse.
Copy !req
198. Maybe history will classify us not as the good camp, but as the evil one.
Copy !req
199. That could never happen.
Copy !req
200. Such viewpoints also
exist in history.
Copy !req
201. But people aren't strong enough to
endure the recognition that they're evil.
Copy !req
202. Therefore, believing in
their own righteousness...
Copy !req
203. they fight to force
their views on other people.
Copy !req
204. There's no such thing
as absolute righteousness?
Copy !req
205. That's right.
Copy !req
206. So, Julian, if
you go to Phezzan...
Copy !req
207. try to see the difference between
their idea of righteousness and ours.
Copy !req
208. That wouldn't be a
bad experience for you.
Copy !req
209. Compared to that, the rise and fall
of nations pales in significance.
Copy !req
210. That's the truth.
Copy !req
211. Even the rise and fall of
the Free Planets Alliance?
Copy !req
212. Right.
Copy !req
213. I hope the nation lasts long enough for me
to collect all of my benefits after I retire.
Copy !req
214. But if you look at it
from historical perspective...
Copy !req
215. the Free Planets Alliance was born as the
antithesis of Rudolf von Goldenbaum's ideals.
Copy !req
216. Right.
Copy !req
217. Constitutional government
against totalitarianism...
Copy !req
218. progressive democracy
against intolerant despotism.
Copy !req
219. Well, advocating such things, because
they came to be put into practice as well...
Copy !req
220. and if the Rudolf-like things are denied
and buried by Prince Lohengramm...
Copy !req
221. there'll be no special reason
why the Alliance must continue.
Copy !req
222. Look, Julian...
Copy !req
223. Just as people
sometimes die...
Copy !req
224. nations aren't eternally
indestructible things, either.
Copy !req
225. The entities called nations
are no more than simple tools.
Copy !req
226. If you remember just that fact, maybe
you can maintain your perspective.
Copy !req
227. Understood.
Copy !req
228. I'll go to Phezzan.
Copy !req
229. My elder classmate, Cazellnu,
did one good thing for me.
Copy !req
230. He brought
you to me.
Copy !req
231. So you got to feeling
like disposing of Julian?
Copy !req
232. Isn't that a
little high-handed?
Copy !req
233. It can't be helped...
Copy !req
234. It's an order from the
National Defense Council.
Copy !req
235. Besides, I was also 16 when I left my
father and enrolled in Officers' School.
Copy !req
236. Maybe it's the right time for
him to go out on his own.
Copy !req
237. It's a splendid thought, but can
you live neatly without Julian?
Copy !req
238. Lt. Greenhill said
the same thing.
Copy !req
239. Why does everybody think that I can't
manage to live if Julian's not here?
Copy !req
240. Because it's the truth.
Copy !req
241. Never mind that, won't you and
Julian come to our house tonight?
Copy !req
242. Because once Julian
goes to Phezzan...
Copy !req
243. we don't know when we might
next have the chance to do this.
Copy !req
244. If it's all right, Lieutenant,
won't you come, too?
Copy !req
245. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
246. It's strange to hear it.
Copy !req
247. When it comes to Julian, Admiral Yang
likes to state common sense opinions.
Copy !req
248. I agree completely.
Copy !req
249. From time to time, he tries to lecture
Julian, who is a man with common sense.
Copy !req
250. But the one doing
the lecturing understands...
Copy !req
251. that the one being lectured
has better common sense.
Copy !req
252. Doesn't he know his place?
Copy !req
253. Yes, because children don't obey what their
parents say, they imitate what the parents do.
Copy !req
254. It's no use just
talking about it.
Copy !req
255. By that, I suppose those two think
they are people with common sense.
Copy !req
256. By the way, I have to appoint a resident
Attache Assistant to go with Julian.
Copy !req
257. How about Mashengo?
Copy !req
258. I have no objections to
Warrant Officer Mashengo.
Copy !req
259. Because the Phezzan Commissioner's
Office is a nest of Truniht supporters...
Copy !req
260. if you're not prepared,
you'll be swindled.
Copy !req
261. Well, he'll be okay
if Mashengo's with him.
Copy !req
262. It's a rare bodyguard who's
more reliable than him.
Copy !req
263. But even Mashengo can't be
with Julian night and day.
Copy !req
264. Don't worry, Julian's skills at armed and
unarmed combat are better than yours.
Copy !req
265. When I hear you
talk like that...
Copy !req
266. Are you displeased?
Copy !req
267. No, I'm at a loss.
Copy !req
268. Should I be struck
with admiration...
Copy !req
269. or should I be anxious that it's not
saying much to say he's better than me?
Copy !req
270. Then I'll restate it.
Copy !req
271. He's clearly
better than you.
Copy !req
272. He can fully
protect himself.
Copy !req
273. Does that put
your mind at ease?
Copy !req
274. I'll rest easier.
Copy !req
275. There's also the matter
of Admiral Merkatz.
Copy !req
276. Since he's decided to leave, we're going
to be somewhat busy preparing for that.
Copy !req
277. For now, I've looked at
scheduling a farewell party.
Copy !req
278. Farewell party?
Copy !req
279. So both Admiral Yang and Cazellnu
opposed the idea of giving them bouquets.
Copy !req
280. "You can't eat bouquets."
Copy !req
281. What, you knew?
Copy !req
282. But aside from whether
or not the food's good...
Copy !req
283. after the cleanup, won't
there be good leftovers?
Copy !req
284. I also said something more
practical would be better.
Copy !req
285. I've got a good idea!
Copy !req
286. Rejected.
Copy !req
287. I haven't said
anything yet.
Copy !req
288. I know what kind of
thing you'd suggest.
Copy !req
289. Nothing sufficiently dignified
for the farewell party.
Copy !req
290. That's because
you're over thirty!
Copy !req
291. No matter what a
first-rate bureaucrat says...
Copy !req
292. Never mind.
Don't mind him.
Copy !req
293. So, what did
you decide on?
Copy !req
294. Lt. Greenhill suggested it...
Copy !req
295. For this kind of thing, you need a
ceremony but not a lot of formality.
Copy !req
296. I ask you,
my war comrades...
Copy !req
297. who's the nicest man
in our Castle Iserlohn?
Copy !req
298. Admiral, during the four
years since my arrival...
Copy !req
299. your consumption of alcohol
has increased dramatically.
Copy !req
300. Oh, really?
Copy !req
301. Yes! Its proportion of household
expenses has nearly doubled.
Copy !req
302. It couldn't
have doubled.
Copy !req
303. It's true.
Copy !req
304. While I'm away, will you
please take care of yourself?
Copy !req
305. It's not good
for your health.
Copy !req
306. Alcohol is
humanity's friend.
Copy !req
307. Can I abandon
a friend?
Copy !req
308. Even if people think so,
how about the alcohol?
Copy !req
309. It's always alcohol's
real wish to be drunk.
Copy !req
310. Humans were drinking alcohol
five thousand years ago.
Copy !req
311. And they're still
drinking it now.
Copy !req
312. Right before my eyes.
Copy !req
313. And five thousand years from now,
they'll be drinking alcohol.
Copy !req
314. Although it's unlikely that there'll be
a human race in five thousand years.
Copy !req
315. I'm not worried about five
thousand years from now...
Copy !req
316. I'm worried
about next month.
Copy !req
317. Also, about your
wake-up time.
Copy !req
318. Can you get up punctually at 7 a.m.
without me to drag you out of bed?
Copy !req
319. I can get up
by myself.
Copy !req
320. Can you
really manage?
Copy !req
321. Now look here, Julian, if other people heard
these kinds of questions and answers...
Copy !req
322. wouldn't they think that Yang Wenli was pretty incompetent at his own life?
Copy !req
323. Before you arrived at my house,
I was living punctually by myself.
Copy !req
324. Without anyone's help, I managed
a house and yard splendidly.
Copy !req
325. Making friends with
dust and mold, eh?
Copy !req
326. This must be the first time since the dawn of
history that your apartment's been cleaned.
Copy !req
327. Now that I think about it, have you said
goodbye to Cazellnu and the rest?
Copy !req
328. No, I thought I'd walk
around tomorrow and do it.
Copy !req
329. Yep. Don't forget to say
goodbye to everybody.
Copy !req
330. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
331. Don't be playing the field.
You'll make Charlotte cry.
Copy !req
332. You should have been at
Iserlohn one more year.
Copy !req
333. There are so many things
left for you to do.
Copy !req
334. Yeah, I wish I'd
learned more...
Copy !req
335. Yeah. Rather than Spartanian piloting, I would
rather have taught you more fun things.
Copy !req
336. When I was 17, I conquered my first
enemy plane and my first woman.
Copy !req
337. Since then I've been racking up victories,
so now both are 3-digit numbers.
Copy !req
338. Amazing.
Copy !req
339. Since the beginning, it's always
been quantity rather than quality?
Copy !req
340. What's that?
Copy !req
341. That's what General
Schenkopp always says.
Copy !req
342. See here...!
Copy !req
343. Thanks for all your help,
too, Commander Konev.
Copy !req
344. Take care.
Copy !req
345. I think I've got
a cousin on Phezzan.
Copy !req
346. Although we've
never actually met.
Copy !req
347. Phezzan's a big place.
Copy !req
348. Take care.
Copy !req
349. You, too, Commander.
Copy !req
350. Good reflexes!
Copy !req
351. Uh, yeah...
Copy !req
352. If you want General Schenkopp,
he's in the B-16 locker room.
Copy !req
353. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
354. Thanks, all of you,
for all your help.
Copy !req
355. When you get there,
just be sure to exercise.
Copy !req
356. If you get slow,
you'll be of no use.
Copy !req
357. Right.
Copy !req
358. Don't worry about a
thing while you're gone.
Copy !req
359. We'll protect both this fortress
and Admiral Yang perfectly.
Copy !req
360. Right.
Copy !req
361. Take this with you.
Copy !req
362. This is a Rosenritter...
Copy !req
363. You're an associate,
so to speak.
Copy !req
364. Yup.
Copy !req
365. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
366. Leaving tomorrow?
Copy !req
367. General!
Copy !req
368. Let me see that.
Copy !req
369. Isn't this one
for training?
Copy !req
370. Take this one.
Copy !req
371. General, are you sure?
Copy !req
372. I'm not giving this to you.
Copy !req
373. I'm just loaning it to
you until you come back.
Copy !req
374. Right! Thank you very much!
Copy !req
375. I'll be sure to come
back and return it.
Copy !req
376. Commander...
Copy !req
377. Hi.
Tomorrow, is it?
Copy !req
378. Yes.
Copy !req
379. Are you sure?
Copy !req
380. While you're gone, I might try to
take Admiral Yang's life again.
Copy !req
381. Even if I'm not here, there are plenty
of people to protect the Admiral.
Copy !req
382. That's true.
Copy !req
383. At any rate, the surveillance
is too strict to break.
Copy !req
384. Until you come back, shall we
put aside our differences?
Copy !req
385. I'd like to.
Copy !req
386. I also want to protect the
Admiral with my own hands.
Copy !req
387. I suppose you intend to gather
intelligence while you're on Phezzan.
Copy !req
388. So I'll give you
a word of advice.
Copy !req
389. Information that comes flying in from
nowhere invariably has a direction behind it.
Copy !req
390. That is, it's got a spin added to it that will
work to the advantage of its sender...
Copy !req
391. who's trying to guide it, and put
their own interpretation onto it.
Copy !req
392. If you try eliminating that, you'll see a field
of vision that's more related to the truth.
Copy !req
393. But what do you do if you can't
find out who its sender really is?
Copy !req
394. Don't you know?
Copy !req
395. When a crime's
been committed...
Copy !req
396. the person who gains the most
by that crime is the prime suspect.
Copy !req
397. The same principle applies.
Copy !req
398. Bye.
Copy !req
399. I'm expecting
you to succeed.
Copy !req
400. Take it with you.
Copy !req
401. It's been my good luck
charm for a long time.
Copy !req
402. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
403. But what kind of
good luck charm is it?
Copy !req
404. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
405. When I was a first year
student in Officers' School...
Copy !req
406. and broke curfew
and climbed the fence...
Copy !req
407. an upper-classman named Yang Wenli, who
was on guard duty, pretended not to see me.
Copy !req
408. Never forget your
real duty as a soldier.
Copy !req
409. Go and work diligently
at your job.
Copy !req
410. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
411. Well, I'll say it now...
Copy !req
412. My duty was to help
Admiral Yang get ahead.
Copy !req
413. No, you shouldn't
make such a face.
Copy !req
414. I'm not being particularly
modest, or complaining...
Copy !req
415. Admiral Yang is a rare
person, who combines...
Copy !req
416. both the nature of a commander
and talent as a staff officer.
Copy !req
417. If that person needed a staff officer,
what would other people think of that?
Copy !req
418. Knowing that, I just consulted
with him about operations.
Copy !req
419. Therefore, when I aspired to be a
staff officer for the Hero of El Facil...
Copy !req
420. I asked myself, "What is
the role I must carry out?"
Copy !req
421. I didn't find the answer until
after the fall of Iserlohn.
Copy !req
422. Then I understood my role.
Copy !req
423. So I intentionally recited common sense
arguments, and opposed Admiral Merkatz.
Copy !req
424. There were also times
that they seemed disgusting.
Copy !req
425. Can I get you
to understand?
Copy !req
426. Yes, I understand.
Copy !req
427. But why did you tell
that to me now?
Copy !req
428. Yes, why?
Copy !req
429. It's a way of talking
that doesn't seem logical...
Copy !req
430. but it probably means there's something
in you that makes other people trust you.
Copy !req
431. I imagine both Admiral Yang and the other
bunch probably tell you all kinds of things.
Copy !req
432. You should take
great care of that.
Copy !req
433. I'm sure it will become
an asset hereafter.
Copy !req
434. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
435. Take this when you go.
It may be of some use.
Copy !req
436. Isn't this a
Phezzan bank account?
Copy !req
437. This much...?
Copy !req
438. That's alright.
Take it with you.
Copy !req
439. You should never be at a loss
as to how to spend money...
Copy !req
440. because it's money
that gives you freedom.
Copy !req
441. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
442. I won't waste it.
Copy !req
443. I know you won't.
Copy !req
444. There may come a time when
you'll need to use every bit of it.
Copy !req
445. Besides that, while you're on Heinessen...
Copy !req
446. would you deliver this
to Admiral Bucock for me?
Copy !req
447. I'll make sure to
deliver it personally.
Copy !req
448. Yes, I'm relying on you.
Copy !req
449. Listen, Julian, it's not just
anybody's life, it's your life.
Copy !req
450. First of all, think of
living for your own sake.
Copy !req
451. Beyond that...
Copy !req
452. Don't catch a cold.
Stay healthy.
Copy !req
453. You too, Admiral.
Copy !req
454. If you can, please try to
cut down on the alcohol.
Copy !req
455. And try to eat
more vegetables.
Copy !req
456. Oh, dear, you're a nagging little
rascal up to the brink of departure.
Copy !req
457. At the strong urging of the government,
Admiral Merkatz will accept...
Copy !req
458. the position of Secretary of the Army of the Legitimate Imperial Government on Heinessen.
Copy !req
459. at the strong desire
of our government...
Copy !req
460. have accepted posts as military
attaches stationed at Phezzan.
Copy !req
461. Here, while praying for their safe passage
and success at their posts, we send them off.
Copy !req
462. Admiral...
Copy !req
463. I guess he's gone.
Copy !req
464. When we next meet, he'll
probably be a little taller.
Copy !req
465. Space Era 798.
Copy !req
466. Imperial Year 489.
Copy !req
467. Julian Minci left Iserlohn Fortress
behind on his way to his new post.
Copy !req
468. At this time, nobody knew on what day he
would be reunited with those he left behind.
Copy !req
469. Preview of Next Episode
