9. Universal Century 799,
Imperial Year 490, April 26th.Copy !req
10. The battle in the Vermilion
Starzone approaches its third day.Copy !req
11. Reinhard von Lohengramm and Yang Wenli
break off combat without a word to each other.Copy !req
12. So many men lost,
for no reason at all...Copy !req
13. Boy, what a useless fight.Copy !req
14. If only we had more men...Copy !req
15. With ten thousand more ships...
No, five thousand more...Copy !req
16. No, no, three thousand
more ships would do.Copy !req
17. If so...Copy !req
18. On April 27th, having reorganized his
own forces, Yang orders a lightning strike.Copy !req
19. The Alliance forces are
launching a blitzkrieg.Copy !req
20. Give them
a warm welcome.Copy !req
21. Concentrate fire on the center
of the enemy formation!Copy !req
22. Charge!Copy !req
23. It's a complete breakthrough!
We're through!Copy !req
24. Yeah!Copy !req
25. That was too easy.Copy !req
26. The next enemy
will be arriving soon!Copy !req
27. Flagship - MuffueseCopy !req
28. Rear Admiral MarinoCopy !req
29. Continue to charge at the enemy,
and destroy them at point blank range!Copy !req
30. We've broken
through their ranks!Copy !req
31. More enemy forces dead ahead!Copy !req
32. They're spreading
out to all sides!Copy !req
33. Dammit! How many layers
of defense do they have?Copy !req
34. What is this,
a petticoat?Copy !req
35. Commander Konev.Copy !req
36. The fighter squadron has
been placed on combat alert.Copy !req
37. ColdwellCopy !req
38. I see. Carry on.
Pass my regards to the men.Copy !req
39. Yes, sir!Copy !req
40. Yo!Copy !req
41. How about using the number
of planes we shoot down today...Copy !req
42. to see who's treating
whom to a shot of whiskey?Copy !req
43. Still love gambling
as much as ever, I see.Copy !req
44. What, crossword
puzzles again?Copy !req
45. You're always doing those.Copy !req
46. Let's see... "Something that
everybody experiences once?"Copy !req
47. Of course there is.Copy !req
48. I have a pretty good idea
what you're talking about.Copy !req
49. Starts with an "F".
Seven letters.Copy !req
50. That would be
"FIRST TIME..."Copy !req
51. Oops.
Too many letters.Copy !req
52. "FUNERAL."
The end of the line.Copy !req
53. Crap. You jinx.Copy !req
54. Remember that
shot of whiskey!Copy !req
55. Sorry about how it always
ends up as your treat.Copy !req
56. Talk all you want.Copy !req
57. On April 29th, Yang's fleet has already
broken through the eighth layer of defense.Copy !req
58. But in front of them lay
yet another layer of defense.Copy !req
59. What unbelievable
depth and strength...Copy !req
60. It's like peeling the
layers off an onion.Copy !req
61. Layers upon layers of
defense keep appearing.Copy !req
62. Endless numbers of them.Copy !req
63. We can't very well
stop now, can we?Copy !req
64. Shall we peel
that ninth layer?Copy !req
65. Or, shall we...?Copy !req
66. There's no advantage
in stopping at this point.Copy !req
67. Prince Lohengramm's strategem is
frightfully intricate, but we must go on.Copy !req
68. Admiral...Copy !req
69. What is it?Copy !req
70. Yes, sir.Copy !req
71. I believe I know what
Prince Lohengramm is thinking.Copy !req
72. He's keeping up
a good facade.Copy !req
73. There's a light year separating what
Prince Lohengramm is thinking...Copy !req
74. and what he's
actually doing.Copy !req
75. Yes, but I think that there's only less than
a light second of separation, in this case.Copy !req
76. Go on.Copy !req
77. Prince Lohengramm's goal is
to chip away at our endurance.Copy !req
78. And do it both
materially and mentally.Copy !req
79. The proof's in the fact that breaking through
one defensive web brings on another.Copy !req
80. He's right.Copy !req
81. They're not coming
at us from the front.Copy !req
82. If they were, the sensors
would have picked them up...Copy !req
83. and it'd be difficult for Prince Lohengramm
to assess changes in the combat situation.Copy !req
84. Therefore, there is nothing separating
our forces from Prince Lohengramm.Copy !req
85. I believe that the enemy forces are positioned
to our front, to the side, like thin cards.Copy !req
86. In other words, they're drifting and
appearing in front of our forces.Copy !req
87. If we can do
something about that...Copy !req
88. we should be able to engage
Prince Lohengramm's main force.Copy !req
89. I see.
That makes sense.Copy !req
90. That was well
thought out.Copy !req
91. The approaching Imperial forces
have launched their fighters!Copy !req
92. Have Poplan and Konev's
squadrons engage.Copy !req
93. Whiskey! Rum!
Walker! Applejack!Copy !req
94. Everybody gathered up?Copy !req
95. Don't get gulped down by
the enemy! Gulp them down!Copy !req
96. Use that thing I taught you!
Three ships per formation!Copy !req
97. OK! Break!Copy !req
98. Alliance scum!Copy !req
99. Don't presume that you can use
the same tricks all the time!Copy !req
100. All ships! Form up,
three to a formation!Copy !req
101. Holst SchurerCopy !req
102. Lead them to within
firing range of the fleet!Copy !req
103. You want to take me on?Copy !req
104. I think you're fifty years
too early for that!Copy !req
105. Don't fire!
You'll hit our own ships!Copy !req
106. Chase him towards the cruiser!Copy !req
107. We won't count
those towards the score.Copy !req
108. Man, if I keep dragging my feet, I'm
really gonna have to treat Konev again.Copy !req
109. Extending the battle line
is advantageous to our forces.Copy !req
110. We'll be able to quickly
secure space superiority.Copy !req
111. Yes.Copy !req
112. All ships, status report!Copy !req
113. This is Whiskey squadron.
All intact!Copy !req
114. This is Rum squadron.
Fourteen ships are safe and sound!Copy !req
115. This is Walker.
We have eight down.Copy !req
116. How about Applejack?Copy !req
117. There are only two survivors in
Applejack... me, and one other.Copy !req
118. Everyone else was
killed in action.Copy !req
119. Everyone else was...Copy !req
120. Was what?Copy !req
121. Applejack squadron!Copy !req
122. Lt. Moranville,
please reply!Copy !req
123. This is Ensign Zanchavsky.Copy !req
124. I'm now the only survivor
of Applejack squadron.Copy !req
125. Sir! The situation is
not good for our fighters!Copy !req
126. We should have them retreat,
and concentrate on fleet defense.Copy !req
127. Agreed.
Make it so.Copy !req
128. Hey.
Where's your commander?Copy !req
129. I want to see him be
in a worse mood than I am.Copy !req
130. I'm now acting squadron leader for
Konev's squadron, Lt Commander Poplan.Copy !req
131. I'm in no mood for a
roundabout explanation right now.Copy !req
132. What happened to Konev?Copy !req
133. He's been killed in action.Copy !req
134. By how many?Copy !req
135. Huh?Copy !req
136. I said, how many ships
was he shot down by?Copy !req
137. Ivan Konev couldn't have been
shot down in a one-on-one dogfight.Copy !req
138. How many Imperial ships did
it take to take Konev down?Copy !req
139. Commander Konev wasn't
killed in a dogfight.Copy !req
140. He was hit
by cruiser fire.Copy !req
141. I see.Copy !req
142. So they needed a cruiser
to take Konev down?Copy !req
143. Then they'll need at least
ten battleships to get me.Copy !req
144. We've broken through.Copy !req
145. Prince Lohengramm's strategem
is an extreme form of a lure...Copy !req
146. for the purpose of wearing down our
forces, just as Ltjg Minci pointed out.Copy !req
147. Continuing forward is folly, but stopping
would be like giving the enemy time.Copy !req
148. We'd still be snared
by their plot.Copy !req
149. Thus, the key to this operation will be
breaking through that deep defense.Copy !req
150. That's our only chance at winning.Copy !req
151. Therefore, we'll temporarily withdraw
and hide out in the asteroid belt.Copy !req
152. The enemy has retreated?Copy !req
153. Yes.Copy !req
154. They've pulled back 800,000km,
to an asteroid belt.Copy !req
155. Prince Reinhard Lohengramm,
in order to take Yang Wenli's assault...Copy !req
156. had prepared twenty-four
defensive walls.Copy !req
157. Each wall, once penetrated,
retreats to the rear...Copy !req
158. and forms a new
defensive wall.Copy !req
159. The Alliance forces faced the
nightmare of neverending battle.Copy !req
160. However, for prideful Reinhard...Copy !req
161. it was an operation that demanded
an extraordinary level of patience.Copy !req
162. The enemy fleet
has moved out!Copy !req
163. From our perspective, they're
pulling hard to the port flank.Copy !req
164. 30 AprilCopy !req
165. ten thousand ships!Copy !req
166. What is he planning,
I wonder.Copy !req
167. I don't think Yang Wenli would
casually disperse his forces.Copy !req
168. Perhaps his purpose is
to spread out our forces...Copy !req
169. But the problem is whether
that was their main force?Copy !req
170. They allowed us to see it,
so it is probably a decoy...Copy !req
171. but it's possible that it
might be their main force.Copy !req
172. In either case, spreading out
our forces would be foolish.Copy !req
173. Please give us your
orders, Your Excellency.Copy !req
174. All forces, turn
to our port flank.Copy !req
175. That lure is a decoy and appears
to be a ploy to move their forces!Copy !req
176. We'll take them head on,
and punch them in the nose!Copy !req
177. Enemy fleet has
entered firing range!Copy !req
178. Vice Admiral Welner AltringenCopy !req
179. Excellent.
Commence firing.Copy !req
180. What is it?Copy !req
181. Expanding enemy recon image!Copy !req
182. Look!Copy !req
183. This is...Copy !req
184. Vice Admiral Dahtlich SaukenCopy !req
185. We've been tricked!Copy !req
186. Enemy approaching
rapidly to our rear!Copy !req
187. All ships,
maximum speed!Copy !req
188. Cut off their
retreat with one blow!Copy !req
189. Flagship - AchilleusCopy !req
190. We miss this opportunity,
and we've had it!Copy !req
191. Flagship - VigrissCopy !req
192. Vice Admiral GrunemanCopy !req
193. Don't let the enemy fleet get
near Prince Lohengramm!Copy !req
194. Vice Admiral Rolf Otto BrauhitzCopy !req
195. All ships:
come about 180 degrees!Copy !req
196. Don't allow the
enemy to get back!Copy !req
197. All ships:
rush the enemy fleet!Copy !req
198. Construction ShipCopy !req
199. The enemy fleet
formation is yielding!Copy !req
200. Concentrate fire,
and break their formation!Copy !req
201. Charge!Copy !req
202. Now!Copy !req
203. All ships, turn about ninety
degrees and synchronize fire!Copy !req
204. The enemy has appeared
to our rear!Copy !req
205. We're under heavy fire!
Mayday!Copy !req
206. Altringen's fleet is
being wiped out!Copy !req
207. Brauhitz's fleet cannot
maintain the battle line!Copy !req
208. Enemy fleet approaching!Copy !req
209. I've been had.Copy !req
210. Is it to be victory upon victory,
only to suffer defeat at the very end?Copy !req
211. Kircheis...Copy !req
212. Is this as far as
I'll be able to go?Copy !req
213. Your Excellency, a shuttle
has been made ready.Copy !req
214. Please, you must escape.Copy !req
215. Don't overstep your bounds.Copy !req
216. I know no way of war where one
runs away when it is unnecessary.Copy !req
217. Do you think a coward could
become the final victor?Copy !req
218. Please forgive
my presumption.Copy !req
219. However, abandoning the battlefield
now does not mean defeat.Copy !req
220. As soon as we gather up the rest of our
forces, we can re-engage and seek revenge.Copy !req
221. If I run away in fear
of Yang Wenli here...Copy !req
222. those whom I've killed would
mock me, from Hell to Valhalla.Copy !req
223. What kind of conqueror
would I make?Copy !req
224. Do you mean for me to
become a laughingstock?Copy !req
225. Excellency, please don't take
your precious life so lightly.Copy !req
226. We can begin again.
Please escape.Copy !req
227. What happened?Copy !req
228. It's Muller's fleet!Copy !req
229. Muller's fleet has
come to our aid!Copy !req
230. We're saved!Copy !req
231. 2 MayCopy !req
232. Don't let up your fire!Copy !req
233. Chase the enemy off!Copy !req
234. Have we made
a positive ID?Copy !req
235. Yes. The flagship
Brunhild is unharmed.Copy !req
236. We made it in time...Copy !req
237. How about the
rest of our fleet?Copy !req
238. Because we were at maximum impulse,
we've left some of our ships behind.Copy !req
239. Only 60% of our ships have
arrived at the battlefield.Copy !req
240. No matter. Put us between
the enemy fleet and the flagship.Copy !req
241. Protect Prince Lohengramm!Copy !req
242. Of the Imperial commanders
who were dispersed...Copy !req
243. in order to enact
the grand entrapment...Copy !req
244. the first to go on the
offensive was Neithart Muller.Copy !req
245. But there was a
reason behind that...Copy !req
246. Lycus Starzone, 24 AprilCopy !req
247. What? They're surrendering
rather than fighting?Copy !req
248. Yes. They said
they wouldn't resist.Copy !req
249. As far as we're concerned, we're elated.
But it's rather shameful of them.Copy !req
250. Very true.Copy !req
251. Free Planets, Lycus Supply BaseCopy !req
252. Why?Copy !req
253. You're handing over to the enemy the supplies which are critical for us right now.Copy !req
254. I don't understand!Copy !req
255. Yeah! Yeah!Copy !req
256. If we can't safeguard
these supplies...Copy !req
257. we should render them useless
to the enemy by irradiating them!Copy !req
258. That's right!Copy !req
259. We should destroy the supplies,
rather than let the enemy use them!Copy !req
260. I agree!Copy !req
261. Yeah, me too!
Don't hand them over!Copy !req
262. The supplies gathered here are
staple goods for the civilians.Copy !req
263. Base Commader - Aubry CockraneCopy !req
264. No matter whether we have
a dictatorship, or a democracy...Copy !req
265. we must never destroy
the lives of civilians.Copy !req
266. The Imperial Fleet has
agreed to the condition...Copy !req
267. that these supplies are
to be distributed to the civilians.Copy !req
268. Therefore, there is no need
to spill blood unnecessarily.Copy !req
269. I don't agree!Copy !req
270. This action
aids the enemy!Copy !req
271. Yeah!Copy !req
272. Yeah,
you coward!Copy !req
273. We'll use force
to stop you.Copy !req
274. Don't you understand
the Commander's feelings?Copy !req
275. Traitors...!Copy !req
276. I'll keep my promise.
We won't use these supplies.Copy !req
277. We'll distribute
them to the people.Copy !req
278. You have my thanks.Copy !req
279. I've misjudged you.Copy !req
280. How about it?
Will you work for me?Copy !req
281. I can employ your talents
in governing this place.Copy !req
282. I appreciate your offer...Copy !req
283. but I'm a timid man - I care a great
deal about what others think of me.Copy !req
284. I wouldn't want it said that I surrendered
the supplies in exchange for a post.Copy !req
285. It'll be enough if you allow me
and my men to return to Heinessen.Copy !req
286. I see.Copy !req
287. Admiral!Copy !req
288. At 1420 today...Copy !req
289. Imperial Admiral Lohengramm's fleet engaged the enemy in the Vermilion Starzone.Copy !req
290. They're in combat!Copy !req
291. It's begun?Copy !req
292. Leave an administrative staff behind, and
the rest of the ships will make for Vermilion!Copy !req
293. Leave behind any ships
which can't keep up.Copy !req
294. Move!Copy !req
295. Since the time necessary for taking the
Lycus System Supply Post was shortened...Copy !req
296. Muller's fleet was able to get to
Vermilion ahead of the other fleets.Copy !req
297. In retrospect, Commander
Cockrane's decision...Copy !req
298. cost Yang's fleet its chance to
kill Reinhard von Lohengramm.Copy !req
299. But that appraisal would be left to
the analysis of future historians.Copy !req
300. Positive ID established
on enemy flagship.Copy !req
301. It's the battleship Lubeck
- Muller's fleet!Copy !req
302. It isn't the Gale Wolf?Copy !req
303. That was a terrible oversight,
not figuring in Muller.Copy !req
304. Our commanders shouldn't take flight
just because one fleet joined the battle.Copy !req
305. Miracle Yang will show
us another trick.Copy !req
306. Don't let the
enemy break through!Copy !req
307. Just a moment more!Copy !req
308. Just a moment more, and we'll
have the command flagship!Copy !req
309. Admiral, we can't!Copy !req
310. We're under intense enemy
bombardment, and taking heavy losses!Copy !req
311. If we keep this up, we won't
be able to hold the line.Copy !req
312. We've already lost
two thousand ships!Copy !req
313. That's ridiculous!Copy !req
314. Do you mean to tell me we've taken
60% losses in less than an hour?Copy !req
315. Muller's fleet has
cut into our formation.Copy !req
316. What an excellent commander...Copy !req
317. He sizes up the situation well, he fights
well, he knows when to protect his master.Copy !req
318. Now's not the time
to admire the man.Copy !req
319. We're almost out of
energy and missiles.Copy !req
320. The battleship Achilleus
has been destroyed.Copy !req
321. Admiral Lionel Mouton
has been killed in action.Copy !req
322. Muller has done well.Copy !req
323. However, we haven't broken
out of their entrapment.Copy !req
324. We're in danger
of being destroyed.Copy !req
325. Flagship - TheodoricusCopy !req
326. Form up! Try not
to take another hit!Copy !req
327. Flagship - HermossrCopy !req
328. Vice Admiral KalnapCopy !req
329. Get in touch with
central command, somehow!Copy !req
330. Request reinforcements!Copy !req
331. I have no
forces in reserve.Copy !req
332. Tell him to die
there, in battle.Copy !req
333. If he has more to say,
he can tell me in Valhalla.Copy !req
334. Die, he says?Copy !req
335. Fine, I will!Copy !req
336. If I die, I'll reach
Valhalla first...Copy !req
337. and you'll be the one running errands
for me, Reinhard von Lohengramm!Copy !req
338. All ships,
full speed ahead!Copy !req
339. Head for where our friendly forces
are concentrating their fire...Copy !req
340. concentrate fire there,
and break out of this siege!Copy !req
341. Open up the web at the point where
the enemy is concentrating their fire!Copy !req
342. The entrapment
has been broken!Copy !req
343. Excellent! Break out!Copy !req
344. Rescue our comrades!
Forward!Copy !req
345. Open fire!Copy !req
346. Be as accurate and
as efficient as possible.Copy !req
347. We're heavily damaged
in six blocks!Copy !req
348. The fusion reactor has been
breached! We're in danger!Copy !req
349. Admiral, please abandon ship.Copy !req
350. The life of this ship
will soon be over.Copy !req
351. Move the command post
to another battleship.Copy !req
352. Which battleship is closest?Copy !req
353. The battleship Neustat, sir.Copy !req
354. All hands, abandon ship!Copy !req
355. Yes, sir!Copy !req
356. All hands, abandon ship!Copy !req
357. All hands, abandon ship!Copy !req
358. You, too. Into the shuttle with you.Copy !req
359. But...Copy !req
360. That's an order.Copy !req
361. Yes, sir.Copy !req
362. However, the Neustat,
which Muller boarded...Copy !req
363. was also hit by Alliance fire, and
soon lost navigational capability.Copy !req
364. It was destroyed when
Muller abandoned it.Copy !req
365. Should I consider
that lucky, or not?Copy !req
366. Next, Muller transferred
to the Offenburg...Copy !req
367. and finally, two hours later,
to the battleship Helten.Copy !req
368. Muller, who carried on a brave
battle from ship to ship...Copy !req
369. would earn himself the
name "Muller Ironshield."Copy !req
370. However, by eliminating the danger
of Muller joining the battle...Copy !req
371. 5 MayCopy !req
372. Yang rebuilt his battle lines
after making new plans.Copy !req
373. At long last, the Alliance fleet
had brought Reinhard's flagship...Copy !req
