Legend of the Galactic Heroes 2x18

Directed by

The Imperial fleet under Mittermeyer invades Phezzan after feigning to approach Iserlohn. Kesselring tries to kill Rubinsky, but Rubinsky had a trap laid out and kills Kesselring instead. Rubinsky goes into hiding. Julian and Mashengo destroy the computers in the Alliance High commissioner's office. Julian later finds a smuggler to take him, Mashengo, and the cowardly Alliance commissioner out of Phezzan space. Mittermeyer orders the execution of soldiers which raped and robbed civilians. The Empire secures Alliance space maps from the Phezzan Navigation Office.

2. OF THE

3. In every age,

4. in every place,

5. the deeds of men

6. remain the same.

7. Constellations of stars I'm seeing for the first time...

8. You're only allowed to exist as objects for my conquest and rule.

9. Just wait.

10. Prosit!

11. Prosit!

12. To our new city!

13. Prosit!

14. To our victory!

15. Prosit!

16. To the last year of the Free Planets Alliance!

17. Prosit!

18. Prosit!

19. Prosit!

20. So that's Turneisen, huh?

21. The young guys are full of energy, and that's great.

22. I'm young too, but I don't have that much energy.

23. Other than you, the younger guys tend to show off.

24. That's probably because they've all recognized that the confusion of war is coming to an end.

25. They're making haste, huh?

26. Anyway, the commander of the space fleet himself will probably lead the Alliance.

27. Admiral Alexandor Bucock, right?

28. He's very experienced.

29. You and I, Reuental and Bittenfeld...

30. Even if we combine all our experience, we'd fall short of that old man.

31. He's a breathing military museum.

32. Seems like you're having an interesting conversation.

33. Happy New Year.

34. Hopefully, this will be a good year.

35. This year will be an important year in history.

36. By the way, Mittermeyer, it's not my business to say this about your tactics...

37. but the Alliance will turn into a cornered rat, and fight back.

38. I want to know what it is you plan to do.

39. If the Alliance had a large enough force, and they could afford to take some damage...

40. they'd deploy the majority of their forces at the exit of the corridor...

41. and go for a head-to-head battle.

42. The only way for us to fight them would be a frontal attack...

43. which would be the easiest for the Alliance to defend itself against.

44. But the Alliance forces are already depleted...

45. and they will not be able to afford such a tactic.

46. So they'll attempt to draw us deep into their territory...

47. cut off our supply lines, isolate us and destroy us one by one.

48. In other words, it will be almost an exact reenactment of Amlitzer's battle, 3 years ago.

49. So if we keep our battle lines long, we'll fall into their trap.

50. But I see a chance of winning there.

51. So you want a double-headed snake.

52. Yes.

53. What do you think, Admiral Muller?

54. I completely agree with High Admiral Mittermeyer.

55. But the Alliance may not be able to keep their actions in order.

56. There are always people who cannot see the big picture and fight...

57. because they think it's cowardly not to fight when they see their opponent.

58. If that happens, it would be the best for us.

59. If we can get into an aimless war of attrition...

60. the goddess of victory has no choice but to favor us.

61. But that would be too boring.

62. Let's just hope that they'll act with some kind of order.

63. I'm fine. Can I have some of that apple juice over there?

64. Thank you.

65. Fraulein, the historians of the future will envy you.

66. Aren't you going to be a witness to history?

67. Probably.

68. I heard that Vice Admiral Turneisen...

69. was in the same class as Prince Lohengram in his younger days.

70. But isn't he a little too dazzled with the Prince's brilliance?

71. It's impossible to imitate genius.

72. Then, Your Excellency, I will be leaving.

73. Good luck. We shall meet again with all of you on Planet Heinessen.

74. The leader of the forces for the Phezzan area is Admiral Mittermeyer...

75. and the Iserlohn area leader is Admiral Reuental.

76. Rear Admiral Sombart

77. Those two great authorities will only become greater.

78. Are you dissatisfied with that?

79. Dissatisfied? Not at all.

80. It's just that the ones who have already accomplished much get more chances.

81. The differences will only become greater.

82. Under the rule of the nobles, you might not have advanced even if you achieved in war.

83. Compared to that, things have become better.

84. Yes. A couple of years ago, even Admiral Mittermeyer, being only 30 years old...

85. wouldn't have been a major force in the military.

86. Admiral Muller is only 29 this year.

87. He lost a previous battle, and I don't get the impression that he has accomplished much.

88. The reason he's achieved his rank must be because of the confusion of war.

89. But the war is coming to an end.

90. The opportunities for accomplishment are rare to almost none.

91. Operation Ragnarok might be the last opportunity.

92. Your Excellency, are you tired?

93. Oh, it's you, Fraulein Mariendorf.

94. No, I'm not tired. It's just...

95. Just?

96. I feel a little uncertain.

97. It's not about the war.

98. I'll win the war.

99. I'll win, and rule the universe.

100. But after that, what will happen?

101. I don't know if I can live with a situation where I have no enemy to fight.

102. Your Excellency...

103. No. I'm thinking too far ahead.

104. Victory hasn't been decided yet.

105. The Alliance has its own vision of the future.

106. Mittermeyer has departed. He's quick as usual.

107. There must've been so many soldiers who continually won battles...

108. but got left out of history because they lost their last battle.

109. I cannot do the same thing.

110. My life hasn't been mine alone since that day.

111. Planet Heinessen

112. At the beginning of Space Year 799, Imperial Year 490...

113. High Council Building

114. the news that the Empire had conquered Phezzan reached the leaders of the Alliance.

115. The leaders of the Alliance tried to control the media...

116. and sought the best time to reveal this news to their people, but it did no good.

117. This was because spaceships from Phezzan had already spread the news.

118. Why is that we can't cover what's going on at the Council?

119. It's your obligation to release such information by Alliance law!

120. I can't do anything about that!

121. I'm just following orders from above!

122. Then get someone who's responsible for this.

123. That's right! Get someone who's responsible!

124. Oh, it's the Press Secretary! What's going on, Mr. Press Secretary?

125. Yeah, what's going on?

126. I will announce the decision by Supreme Councilor Trunhit.

127. We realize the responsibility we have for this event.

128. That's all.

129. Is that it?

130. That's all.

131. We're not asking about responsibilities!

132. How are our leaders going to cope with this crisis?

133. That's right!

134. That's all.

135. The Supreme Councilor said he realizes the responsibility.

136. But it's not only the Supreme Councilor's responsibility.

137. It's important that every citizen of the Alliance realizes this.

138. But people don't cooperate with the government...

139. Yeah, right. You fat windbag.

140. This is strange. It looks like Job Trunicht didn't attend the Council meeting.

141. What?

142. He appears to have bailed out.

143. What? How irresponsible!

144. Just as I thought, he's just a demagogic politician.

145. So, what's going on in the Council?

146. For now, the Minister of National Defense is leading it, but...

147. You mean Islands?

148. What can that second string guy do?

149. The only thing he can do is to get rebates on his military purchases.

150. He's worse than Trunicht.

151. We'll let the specialists decide our battle plans...

152. but what we need to decide is whether or not we'll surrender or fight to the death.

153. I will ask just in case, but is there anyone for surrender?

154. Then assuming we fight, do we fight until all our land is burned and every citizen has died...

155. or do we choose to fight to create a better political environment...

156. that will put us in a better position when we negotiate for a peace treaty.

157. We need to decide on that.

158. So I want cooperation from the military to get us in a position to sign a peace treaty.

159. If that's the story, I'll gladly cooperate.

160. That's great.

161. I'll depend on you.

162. Then I'll be leaving.

163. In a situation like this, for the first time, I feel I finally know what I'm supposed to do.

164. It might be too late, though.

165. If you'll excuse me.

166. The head of National Defense suddenly has the motivation to work hard.

167. But I guess it's better than not happening at all.

168. But why couldn't it have happened earlier?

169. I think of that sometimes.

170. I even feel like wishing that last year's coup d'etat had succeeded.

171. If it had succeeded, our national defense would've become stronger.

172. And have the Empire's despotic government...

173. and the Alliance's military dictatorial government in competition?

174. Don't you think that's pointless?

175. Yes, sir. You're right.

176. I can't allow the Alliance to become dictatorial just to compete with Empire's dictatorship.

177. The Alliance should die as a democracy rather than become a dictatorship to survive.

178. Yes, sir.

179. I guess what I'm saying is rather extreme.

180. But if a nation can't protect its founding policy and its citizenry...

181. there's no reason for said nation to exist.

182. As for me, I fight to protect our founding policy and the lives of this nation's citizens.

183. Yes, sir.

184. Then, I guess I will be going.

185. Where?

186. To the Council of War.

187. The final decision must be made by Dawson, the head of the Council.

188. I'm not allowed to make any decisions.

189. That's how the army of democracy works.

190. Strategic Planning Center

191. The Free Planets Alliance...

192. lost the majority of their forces during the disturbances of the last couple years...

193. Admiral Dawson

194. and aside from the Yang Fleet at Iserlohn Fortress...

195. the only Alliance fleet still intact was the 1st Fleet.

196. Because of Admiral Kubersly becoming Military Chief of Staff...

197. the 1st Fleet is now led by the 2nd Fleet's former commander, Paeta.

198. 1st Fleet Commander - Admiral Paeta

199. On the other hand, heavily armed fleets, first rate defense fleets...

200. patrol fleets, worn out fleets, and untested new fleets, were being formed.

201. They collected a total of about 20 thousand ships.

202. These ships became the 14th and 15th Fleets.

203. Lionel Mouton and Ralph Carlsen were named as commanders to each fleet.

204. Galactic Empire Legitimate Government Building

205. If the Alliance can defend themselves, it'll be OK.

206. But otherwise, our government will not be safe.

207. Carnap

208. Even if we decide to escape, now that we can't rely on help from Phezzan...

209. how can we protect our young Kaiser?

210. Why don't you tell the truth, my dear noble patriot?

211. Hosinger

212. What you're worried about is not the fate of the Goldenbaum Dynasty.

213. It's your own safety, you who carelessly opposed that young blonde brat.

214. Baron Hosinger, do you want to disgrace your name in a moment of drunkenness?

215. Prime Minister Jochen von Remscheid

216. Unfortunately, I don't have a name to disgrace.

217. I'm not like you, Prime Minister.

218. So I can say things that you wouldn't dare.

219. For example, give the young Kaiser to Prince Lohengramm just to get his attention.

220. You shameless drunkard!

221. Radbruch

222. Where is your pride as a nobleman of the Empire?

223. You forget every favor and the fame he has brought to us and think about your own safety!

224. You're a complete disgrace!

225. I see. Admiral Merkatz is currently attending a meeting.

226. Yes.

227. We have no choice. We'll come back.

228. In any case, our poor young Kaiser.

229. I, Lansburg, will sacrifice my life for the young Kaiser.

230. I don't know how I can help the Kaiser...

231. but please tell Admiral Merkatz that I will do anything.

232. I will.

233. What am I going to do?

234. Lt. Commander, have you gotten any new information about Phezzan?

235. No. There's been nothing.

236. I see...

237. Is there something bothering you there?

238. I left some of my men on Phezzan.

239. They fled the Empire since they were with the Lippstadt Alliance.

240. I wonder what has happened to them.

241. Sir, the chief of the General Staff Office, Ozman...

242. Huh?

243. He's collapsed. He's had a aneurysm.

244. What?

245. How is he?

246. He was taken to the military hospital, but he's still unconscious.

247. That's not good.

248. It must have been because he worked too hard.

249. We have no choice. This is an emergency.

250. There was that young man under Ozman, wasn't there?

251. The guy who came from the military academy to the General Staff Office.

252. You mean the Vice-Chief of the General Staff Office, Trung Yu Chan?

253. Yes, that's right. Students called him the second generation bakery.

254. Make him the replacement. Tell him to come immediately.

255. Sorry. I was just having a meal.

256. Rear Admiral Trung Yu Chan

257. Oh, don't worry about this.

258. If you steam it a little, even a little stale bread tastes OK.

259. Rear Admiral Trung has just joined us, but we've already made our decision.

260. We don't have a large enough force to fight a frontal battle at Phezzan.

261. So we'll wait until their supply ships get worn down, and attack from behind.

262. We'll cause enough damage to the enemy...

263. making it impossible to proceed, and then they'll withdraw.

264. This is our basic plan.

265. How about recalling Admiral Yang Wenli from Iserlohn Fortress?

266. Huh?

267. Admiral Yang's knowledge and his fleet will be important to us...

268. but if we leave him in Iserlohn, it's like putting freshly baked bread in the refrigerator.

269. Since the enemy is approaching from Phezzan...

270. it could be said that Iserlohn Fortress is worthless to us.

271. So there's no reason to protect it.

272. You may be right, but Admiral Yang is currently fighting the enemy at Iserlohn.

273. It's just not that easy to move him.

274. Admiral Yang will manage it somehow.

275. Besides, without Admiral Yang, we're at a great disadvantage...

276. and we probably can't win a peace treaty.

277. We might have a situation where the Alliance is destroyed, but Iserlohn survives.

278. And even if we can get a peace treaty...

279. the Empire will force us to return Iserlohn Fortress as part of that treaty.

280. Thus, there's no reason to have Admiral Yang protect it.

281. His knowledge and fleet won't have any positive influence for the Alliance from there.

282. We'll just be wasting him.

283. The Alliance does not have much leeway, so we should utilize his talent to the maximum.

284. You mean to tell Yang to abandon Iserlohn?

285. No. You needn't order him to do anything so specific.

286. We should just tell him that the General Staff Office will take every responsibility...

287. so he should just do as he thinks best.

288. More than likely, he won't be too big on protecting Iserlohn.

289. What is it? You're still here?

290. Boris Konev

291. I didn't know I'd been fired.

292. And as a sailor, I can't abandon a ship that's about to sink.

293. In any case, all communication on Phezzan is controlled by the military...

294. and I can't get any information on them.

295. Can't you do anything about it?

296. You have some connection with the military, don't you?

297. How can you be so optimistic?

298. Everyone else has fled, and I don't have enough hands.

299. Why don't you help me pack up these stock certificates?

300. Oh, well...

301. I wonder how my ship is doing.

302. I guess the only way for me to get back to Phezzan anytime soon is for the Alliance to lose.

303. I hope Yang doesn't do anything stupid.

304. There are so many things in the world that won't work, even if we try, right?

305. Well, if it's not going to work, I guess I'll drink and go to bed.

306. Admiral!

307. Admiral, there's a message from the capital.

308. Another order?

309. No. They're instructions from Chief Bucock, but I don't know the details.

310. Instructions?

311. It's good to have an understanding commander.

312. What did the Chief say?

313. "The Fleet General Staff Office will take all responsibility."

314. "You shall take whatever action you feel is best."

315. So we can think of it as having the freedom to do anything in this war?

316. Yes.

317. No, wait a minute.

318. He's a shrewd old man.

319. He wants me to work more than my salary is worth.

320. Oh, well. I wonder how much I can add to my pension for each enemy ship.

321. My goodness. Now I get a promotion.

322. Is this a message implying "Don't come back alive?"

323. No, it's probably out of desperation.

324. What's happened?

325. There's a problem. The adjutant, Captain Fyhen died of a heart attack.

326. Now, it's the adjutant.

327. Young people these days are too weak.

328. He must've been overworked.

329. They all went without sleep, preparing for the coming war.

330. What was your name? You have an unusual name.

331. I'm Lt Commander Soun Soulzzcuaritter.

332. Right. It Commander Soun Soulzzcu-something.

333. I name you the new adjutant.

334. Report to duty now.

335. Huh...? Yes, sir.

336. What the...? What happened to the others?

337. Each fleet, depart whenever you're ready.

338. A message from the Bayerlein Fleet.

339. There's no enemy at the end of the Phezzan Corridor.

340. So they've let us come to the entrance hall.

341. The question is whether we can get into the dining hall.

342. Even when I sit down at the table, the food might be poisoned.

343. After all, we're uninvited guests.

344. It is Space Year 799, Imperial Year 490, January 8th.

345. The first Imperial fleet has passed through Phezzan...

346. and set forth onto a sea of battle they'll see for the first time.

347. Preview of Next Episode

348. Yang makes the decision to abandon the Fortress and utilize his stationed fleet.

350. carrying away 5 million citizens is a near impossible task.
