1. OF THE
Copy !req
2. Universal Century 799, Imperial
Year 490, at 22:40 on May 5th...
Copy !req
3. D-YFI@AniDB
Copy !req
4. Yang's fleet had closed
within firing range...
Copy !req
5. of Reinhard von Lohengramm's
flagship, the Brunhild.
Copy !req
6. Sir!
Copy !req
7. Emergency message incoming
from the capital, Heinessen!
Copy !req
8. "Unconditional surrender?"
Copy !req
9. What the hell are those bastards
on Heinessen thinking?
Copy !req
10. We're about to win...
Copy !req
11. No! We've won!
Copy !req
12. We've got our hands around the
Empire's neck, and are about to squeeze!
Copy !req
13. Why the hell're we
stopping the fight now?
Copy !req
14. What's the meaning of this?
Copy !req
15. The Alliance forces have stopped advancing.
In addition, they've asked for a ceasefire.
Copy !req
16. Commander, I have
something to say.
Copy !req
17. I know what you're about to say.
So there's no need to say it.
Copy !req
18. If you know, then please
reaffirm those orders!
Copy !req
19. Do it!
Copy !req
20. Ignore those orders from the
government, and order a full assault!
Copy !req
21. Then you will have
seized three things:
Copy !req
22. Prince Lohengramm's life, the history
of the universe, and the future!
Copy !req
23. Harden your resolve.
Copy !req
24. If you would
only go forward...
Copy !req
25. then you can put the history of the
universe back on its proper course!
Copy !req
26. There is that option.
Copy !req
27. But those clothes
don't fit me.
Copy !req
28. Send out the order to the fleet
to retreat, Lt. Cmdr. Greenhill.
Copy !req
29. Yes, Admiral.
Copy !req
30. 2240, 5 May UC 799/RC 490
Copy !req
31. Madness!
Copy !req
32. Why did this
happen so suddenly?
Copy !req
33. Another moment, and
they would have won!
Copy !req
34. What reason could
they possibly have...
Copy !req
35. for abandoning a victory
right before their very eyes?
Copy !req
36. That reason unfolded three days prior,
from an incident in the Eleuthera Starzone.
Copy !req
37. Eleuthera Starzone - 2 May
Copy !req
38. Hailing approaching
unidentified ship!
Copy !req
39. This is the Imperial fleet serving
under Admiral Mittermeyer.
Copy !req
40. Heave to,
or we'll open fire!
Copy !req
41. We're friendly forces. We seek an
audience with the commander!
Copy !req
42. Fraulein Mariendorf!
What're you doing here?
Copy !req
43. Are you saying it's already too late
to rush to the Vermilion Starzone?
Copy !req
44. Yes.
Copy !req
45. Even the quick legs of the Gale Wolf would not make it in time to help Prince Lohengramm.
Copy !req
46. Then what do
you propose?
Copy !req
47. I have a feeling you've got
something in mind, Fraulein.
Copy !req
48. If there were only one ship,
it might make it to Vermilion on time.
Copy !req
49. However, moving a large fleet there
would take at least four days.
Copy !req
50. It's now May 2nd.
It'd arrive on May 6th.
Copy !req
51. Before I came here, I gauged the
situation of the battle at Vermilion...
Copy !req
52. and the aggressiveness of the
Alliance forces was unusually strong.
Copy !req
53. Extrapolating from that, if it took us
until May 6th to reach the battlefield...
Copy !req
54. victory would probably
have been decided by then.
Copy !req
55. On the other hand, we're only two
days away from the planet Heinessen.
Copy !req
56. The Alliance has committed
all of its forces to Vermilion.
Copy !req
57. Even though it's the capital,
the planet is probably undefended.
Copy !req
58. That means we can attack Heinessen,
take down the Alliance government...
Copy !req
59. and make them order
Admiral Yang to stop fighting.
Copy !req
60. I see.
Copy !req
61. There's another way to reinforce his
fleet other than rushing to the battlefield.
Copy !req
62. Actually, I brought this idea up with
Prince Lohengramm, but it was rejected.
Copy !req
63. He said that victory had meaning
only if the battle was won.
Copy !req
64. I do believe that
his views are right...
Copy !req
65. but if he loses,
then all is lost.
Copy !req
66. Do you believe that Prince
Lohengramm will be defeated?
Copy !req
67. Yes, from my analysis
of this situation.
Copy !req
68. Prince Lohengramm will taste
the first and last defeat of his life.
Copy !req
69. I understand
your viewpoint...
Copy !req
70. But, Fraulein,
there is one problem.
Copy !req
71. That is, will Yang Wenli obey such
orders from his own government?
Copy !req
72. From his viewpoint, why should
he stop when victory is at hand?
Copy !req
73. Besides, if his
government has fallen...
Copy !req
74. it would be quite easy
for him to seize power.
Copy !req
75. Don't you think so?
Copy !req
76. I considered that.
Copy !req
77. I believe that Yang Wenli
will obey an order to cease fire.
Copy !req
78. If he had wanted to seize power,
he's had quite a few chances.
Copy !req
79. But every time, he forsook that chance, and
remained a soldier, defending the borders.
Copy !req
80. I think Yang Wenli knows there's
something more important than authority.
Copy !req
81. I think that it's
an admirable quality...
Copy !req
82. but, as despicable as it might be,
we have to use it against him.
Copy !req
83. But it's possible that he'll develop
a sudden desire for authority...
Copy !req
84. and ignore the cease fire
order from his government.
Copy !req
85. This chance is much more
appealing than those from the past.
Copy !req
86. That's right.
I can't say for sure.
Copy !req
87. But do you believe that
my proposal is useless?
Copy !req
88. No, not at all,
Fraulein Mariendorf.
Copy !req
89. We will do as
you've planned.
Copy !req
90. In any case,
there's no other way.
Copy !req
91. Thank you very much
for your decision, sir.
Copy !req
92. But it wouldn't do
for me to go alone.
Copy !req
93. I trust you
realize why.
Copy !req
94. Yes, because if you don't
go to help Prince Lohengramm...
Copy !req
95. and instead attack
Heinessen by yourself...
Copy !req
96. people will suspect that
you have political aspirations.
Copy !req
97. So who will you take with you,
to share the glory?
Copy !req
98. He's in the neighboring starzone,
and easy to communicate with.
Copy !req
99. A man whose strength
can be counted upon.
Copy !req
100. His name is
Oskar von Reuental.
Copy !req
101. Fraulein, do you have
a different opinion?
Copy !req
102. No. He's the natural candidate.
Copy !req
103. That's the plan.
Copy !req
104. What will Admiral
Reuental think of this?
Copy !req
105. Might it turn the Imperial
forces against one another?
Copy !req
106. My, you have an imagination
as rich as literature.
Copy !req
107. Reuental is my
closest friend...
Copy !req
108. But I'm not such
a warm person...
Copy !req
109. that I would befriend an unreasonable
man for more than ten years.
Copy !req
110. You're free to think whatever
you're thinking privately...
Copy !req
111. but do not say aloud something
that might cause a misunderstanding.
Copy !req
112. Yes, sir.
My apologies.
Copy !req
113. I was out of line.
Copy !req
114. Go to high
battle readiness!
Copy !req
115. What for?
Copy !req
116. Isn't this what a soldier should do,
be ready for enemy attack?
Copy !req
117. This is enemy territory, not the playground
of some countryside primary school!
Copy !req
118. We can't be fooling the teacher
and taking afternoon naps!
Copy !req
119. Yes, sir!
Sorry, sir.
Copy !req
120. Right away, sir.
Copy !req
121. I wonder if I'm
thinking too much.
Copy !req
122. Rear Admiral Bayerlein, from
the neighboring Mittermeyer Fleet...
Copy !req
123. has taken extraordinary
defensive measures.
Copy !req
124. Perhaps he's received intel
on a possible enemy ambush?
Copy !req
125. Incoming message from
Admiral Mittermeyer!
Copy !req
126. On screen.
Copy !req
127. I see...
Copy !req
128. If I not only refuse the operation,
but indeed move against it...
Copy !req
129. we'll have to do battle?
Copy !req
130. How unlike Mittermeyer.
Copy !req
131. Perhaps it was
Bayerlein's initiative.
Copy !req
132. Have I committed
the ultimate folly?
Copy !req
133. Have I made men of extraordinary
ambition and talent...
Copy !req
134. realize what an extraordinary
opportunity this is?
Copy !req
135. If there's no way that anyone could
make it in time to save him...
Copy !req
136. perhaps ambition might bud
in men who had none before.
Copy !req
137. If I don't turn around,
I wonder what will happen?
Copy !req
138. Between the two men known
as the pillars of the Empire...
Copy !req
139. I chose to tell my plans
not to Admiral Reuental...
Copy !req
140. but chose to appeal to
Admiral Mittermeyer.
Copy !req
141. Was it because I sensed subconsciously
the danger that lay there?
Copy !req
142. I understand.
Copy !req
143. As you've proposed, I will go along
with Fraulein Mariendorf's plan...
Copy !req
144. and order the entire fleet to
launch an assault on Heinessen.
Copy !req
145. To make the final plans,
I'll meet you at your ship.
Copy !req
146. Of course, that'll be when
my fleet joins up with yours.
Copy !req
147. If I ask Mittermeyer
to come meet me...
Copy !req
148. That bloodhound, Bayerlein,
might overreact...
Copy !req
149. and think that I was
taking him hostage.
Copy !req
150. No need to make
things difficult yet.
Copy !req
151. 5 May
Copy !req
152. Mittermeyer and Reuental, the two
celebrated pillars of the Empire...
Copy !req
153. Heinessenopolis
Copy !req
154. led a fleet of over
thirty thousand ships...
Copy !req
155. in the assault on the
Alliance capital, Heinessen.
Copy !req
156. That was on May 5th.
Copy !req
157. This is the Imperial High Admiral
Wolfgang Mittermeyer speaking.
Copy !req
158. The airspace above your capital
is under our military control.
Copy !req
159. I demand dialogue with the government
of the Free Planets Alliance.
Copy !req
160. Cease all military action,
and stand down.
Copy !req
161. Strategical Planning Center
Copy !req
162. Otherwise, we will commence
a full assault on Heinessen.
Copy !req
163. You have three
hours to consider.
Copy !req
164. In the meantime,
enjoy this demonstration.
Copy !req
165. This should do.
Copy !req
166. People in power don't bat an eye when the
houses of ordinary people are destroyed.
Copy !req
167. But when government buildings are
destroyed, the blood drains from their faces.
Copy !req
168. Are you trying not to
involve ordinary civilians?
Copy !req
169. Well, I was an
ordinary civilian once.
Copy !req
170. Sir, could you
send another message?
Copy !req
171. Tell them if they surrender, we won't
prosecute even their highest ranking people.
Copy !req
172. I think that this will provide them
a direction for their decision.
Copy !req
173. Ordinarily, that would
be rather disappointing.
Copy !req
174. But I think it might
work as you said.
Copy !req
175. I'll send the message.
Copy !req
176. Here's the conclusion.
Copy !req
177. We must accept the
Imperial forces' demands.
Copy !req
178. We have no choice, given that
they've threatened an all-out attack.
Copy !req
179. Chairman...!
Copy !req
180. Have I been sacked?
Copy !req
181. If not, then the right to
end this conflict is still mine.
Copy !req
182. I'm merely trying
to carry out my duty.
Copy !req
183. Please stop this!
Copy !req
184. You have no right to use the
privilege of democratic rule...
Copy !req
185. to destroy the spirit and
the history of that democracy!
Copy !req
186. Do you mean for one man to erode
the fruits of two and a half centuries...
Copy !req
187. of this democracy
founded by Ale Heinessen?
Copy !req
188. You've got a lot
of nerve, Islands.
Copy !req
189. You may have forgotten this,
but I remember quite well...
Copy !req
190. That night, when you brought
a silver vase to my house...
Copy !req
191. and begged me for a
position on the High Council.
Copy !req
192. The companies from whom you received
donations and kickbacks, and how much.
Copy !req
193. How much you dipped into election
funds, to buy that weekend getaway.
Copy !req
194. How you used public funds for
a vacation with your mistress.
Copy !req
195. I know all of it.
Copy !req
196. You're right,
I'm a third-rate politician.
Copy !req
197. It was because of you that
I've been able to climb so high.
Copy !req
198. I'm indebted to you.
Copy !req
199. That's why I can't let you take on forever
the stench of a man who destroyed a nation!
Copy !req
200. Please, reconsider!
Copy !req
201. If we refuse to surrender,
perhaps we'll die here.
Copy !req
202. But if Admiral Yang uses this
time to kill Prince Lohengramm...
Copy !req
203. the Alliance
will be saved!
Copy !req
204. If Prince Lohengramm dies, the
Imperial forces will return home.
Copy !req
205. While they fight it out
to establish succession...
Copy !req
206. Admiral Yang can rebuild
the defenses of this nation.
Copy !req
207. The ones who succeed
us will aid him in...
Copy !req
208. Yang Wenli, you say?
Copy !req
209. Think about this:
Copy !req
210. If that moron Yang Wenli hadn't destroyed the
Artemis' Necklace that protected this planet...
Copy !req
211. we wouldn't be under
attack by the Imperial forces!
Copy !req
212. This situation is
Yang Wenli's fault.
Copy !req
213. A great leader, you say?
Copy !req
214. He's just an incompetent
who couldn't see the future!
Copy !req
215. Artemis' Necklace.
Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
216. Haven't you noticed yet?
Copy !req
217. No matter how great the hardware,
the important thing is who's using it.
Copy !req
218. Isn't this situation the danger
that Yang always warned us of?
Copy !req
219. Who is it who ignored his warnings,
and allowed things to come to this?
Copy !req
220. Yang's fighting for dear life,
in such dire circumstances...
Copy !req
221. and there are still those who would hinder
his actions in exchange for their own safety.
Copy !req
222. In other words, the life
of the Alliance is at an end!
Copy !req
223. Its politicians
who toy with power.
Copy !req
224. It's opportunistic
soldiers, as at Amlitzer...
Copy !req
225. No, its citizens have turned over rulership
to politicians, instead of participating in it!
Copy !req
226. The people have democratic
principles on their lips...
Copy !req
227. but can't spare the
effort to safeguard it!
Copy !req
228. The collapse of a government is
the sin of its rulers and leaders.
Copy !req
229. The collapse of democratic rule
is the sin of every citizen!
Copy !req
230. Are you done
with your lecture?
Copy !req
231. Yes.
The lecture is over.
Copy !req
232. Now is the
time for action.
Copy !req
233. Listen closely,
Chairman Truniht.
Copy !req
234. I'll stop you,
even if it means my life!
Copy !req
235. Sir!
Copy !req
236. Stop right there.
Copy !req
237. What the...?
Copy !req
238. Earth Church?
Copy !req
239. Place them under arrest.
Copy !req
240. What the hell's wrong
with the capital?
Copy !req
241. Getting besieged by the
Imperial forces, and...
Copy !req
242. We've surrendered.
It's an unconditional surrender.
Copy !req
243. Call it shotgun peace.
Copy !req
244. We've put up both hands
and asked for help.
Copy !req
245. So what'll happen
to the Alliance?
Copy !req
246. What'll happen?
Copy !req
247. We'll become just another
part of the Empire.
Copy !req
248. Maybe we'll receive a semblance of
autonomy, but it'll be just that, a semblance.
Copy !req
249. And it probably
won't last long.
Copy !req
250. What'll happen then?
Copy !req
251. How do I know?
Copy !req
252. Go ask that blond brat,
Prince Lohengramm!
Copy !req
253. From now on,
he'll be our master!
Copy !req
254. We're on the
side of justice!
Copy !req
255. We must not bend knee to
the darkness of dictatorship!
Copy !req
256. This world is sick!
Copy !req
257. The government is aiding
and abetting the enemy!
Copy !req
258. That's right! The
government has betrayed us!
Copy !req
259. The government has betrayed
the trust and hopes of the people!
Copy !req
260. Those bastards are traitors! There's
no need for us to obey their orders!
Copy !req
261. Yeah!
That's right!
Copy !req
262. But my family
is all on Heinessen.
Copy !req
263. If we refuse to surrender,
and there's a full assault...
Copy !req
264. If the government
surrenders, my family will...
Copy !req
265. What did you say,
you bastard?
Copy !req
266. We'll go and
ask Admiral Yang!
Copy !req
267. We'll ask him to mete out true justice,
and not to obey this ridiculous ceasefire!
Copy !req
268. Yeah!
Let's do that!
Copy !req
269. Yeah! Yeah!
Copy !req
270. Admiral Yang!
Copy !req
271. Let's go ask Miracle Yang!
Copy !req
272. General Schenkopp.
Copy !req
273. So you've come all
this way to see me.
Copy !req
274. May I presume something?
Copy !req
275. You and I think the same way, that
Admiral Yang should ignore the ceasefire?
Copy !req
276. I understand
your feelings.
Copy !req
277. But this would set a
bad example in history.
Copy !req
278. If we allow the military to ignore orders from
the government, and act on its own accord...
Copy !req
279. the most important aspect
of democratic rule...
Copy !req
280. the ability to regulate the military on
behalf of the people would disappear.
Copy !req
281. Do you believe that Admiral Yang
could set such a precedent?
Copy !req
282. Then let me
ask you this.
Copy !req
283. If the government hands down orders
to slaughter defenseless civilians...
Copy !req
284. do you think that the military
should obey such orders?
Copy !req
285. Of course not!
Copy !req
286. When an immoral act tests one's honor
of being human, or being a soldier...
Copy !req
287. I think that one
must be human first.
Copy !req
288. If so, even given orders by the government,
one would have no choice but to refuse.
Copy !req
289. But that's why,
excepting those situations...
Copy !req
290. the military of a democratic nation
should obey the orders of its government.
Copy !req
291. Otherwise, even if it were
for the sake of humanity...
Copy !req
292. it would be considered
a selfish act, right?
Copy !req
293. Boy...
Copy !req
294. I mean,
Ltjg Julian Minci.
Copy !req
295. What you said is true, but I also
understand that level of rationalization.
Copy !req
296. Even though I understand,
I had to say it.
Copy !req
297. I know.
Copy !req
298. Admiral Yang has
no political ambition.
Copy !req
299. Perhaps he has no
talent for rulership.
Copy !req
300. But he'd never treat the nation as
his own private toy, like Truniht...
Copy !req
301. turn politics into a bauble,
and betray his people.
Copy !req
302. Yeah.
Copy !req
303. Admiral Yang may not have a talent for
rulership that will be remembered in history...
Copy !req
304. but at this moment, he
only needs to equal Job Truniht.
Copy !req
305. I agree. I agree.
Copy !req
306. But Chairman Truniht is a
ruler chosen by suffrage.
Copy !req
307. Even though it might be
the result of bad vision...
Copy !req
308. no matter how long
that might take.
Copy !req
309. Professional soldiers must never
be allowed to use violence...
Copy !req
310. to correct the
errors of the people.
Copy !req
311. Otherwise, it'll be the same as
the coup d'etat two years ago.
Copy !req
312. It'll turn into military rule,
oppressing the people.
Copy !req
313. The Galactic Empire may demand
Admiral Yang's life, as the price of peace.
Copy !req
314. If the government accedes to those
demands, and orders Admiral Yang's death...
Copy !req
315. then what will we do?
Copy !req
316. Will we willingly
accept those orders?
Copy !req
317. I'll never let
that happen! Never!
Copy !req
318. But one must obey the orders
of the government, right?
Copy !req
319. That's a question
for the Admiral.
Copy !req
320. This is a
question for me!
Copy !req
321. I have no intention of bowing to the orders
of Prince Lohengramm's government!
Copy !req
322. I'll only accept orders
from Admiral Yang Wenli.
Copy !req
323. It was only because the Admiral ordered
the ceasefire, that I reluctantly accepted.
Copy !req
324. Julian, I've been rude.
Copy !req
325. You've grown up.
Copy !req
326. I should take after you a bit,
to accept what I have to accept.
Copy !req
327. But there are things
one must not accept!
Copy !req
328. You're right
about that, too.
Copy !req
329. I see.
Copy !req
330. Prince Lohengramm is unharmed?
Copy !req
331. Fraulein Mariendorf...
Copy !req
332. your insight was more
valuable than a whole fleet.
Copy !req
333. I hope that you will continue to use that
insight on behalf of Prince Lohengramm.
Copy !req
334. Thank you.
Copy !req
335. It was all because of
help from both of you.
Copy !req
336. I hope that you will be Prince Lohengramm's
wings, and help take him forward.
Copy !req
337. In truth, I did not expect
things to go this smoothly.
Copy !req
338. My congratulations.
Copy !req
339. The men of the Alliance government
are unexpectedly spineless.
Copy !req
340. Really...
Copy !req
341. I was afraid the rulers
of the Alliance...
Copy !req
342. wouldn't care for their own
lives, and refuse our demands.
Copy !req
343. It's perhaps odd to say this,
but those men have no shame.
Copy !req
344. That a country that took a hundred
million people a hundred years to build...
Copy !req
345. could be destroyed by
one man in a single day...
Copy !req
346. So this is what they mean,
by the "death of a nation."
Copy !req
347. The Goldenbaum Dynasty, Galactic Empire,
Phezzan and now the Free Planets Alliance...
Copy !req
348. We've seen with our own eyes the destruction
of the three powers that shared the universe.
Copy !req
349. To borrow somebody else's words: the
historians of posterity must really envy us.
Copy !req
350. The ceasefire must be kept.
It's the government's orders.
Copy !req
351. But if you try to save your own skins by
making Admiral Merkatz a scapegoat...
Copy !req
352. I will not sit still!
Copy !req
353. Schneider!
Copy !req
354. No, Admiral Merkatz...
Copy !req
355. what the commander
says is right.
Copy !req
356. Admiral Merkatz must leave this fleet.
Copy !req
357. I cannot predict the future,
but as Commander Schneider says...
Copy !req
358. the Alliance government could
give you up to the Empire.
Copy !req
359. I'm a man of
the Alliance.
Copy !req
360. I must follow the foolish
orders of my government.
Copy !req
361. However, you have no
such responsibility.
Copy !req
362. It will be hard on me, if you
do not abandon this sinking ship.
Copy !req
363. Please take some of
the ships with you.
Copy !req
364. Naturally, you may take
fuel, supplies, and men.
Copy !req
365. Once defeated, one cannot guarantee that the
Alliance will be able to retain its military power.
Copy !req
366. Rather than let the Empire destroy
them, it'd be better to hide them.
Copy !req
367. It'll be difficult for
them to verify reports...
Copy !req
368. that they've been destroyed
in battle, or self-destructed.
Copy !req
369. Thank you for your
words, Admiral Yang.
Copy !req
370. But do you want me
to escape by myself...
Copy !req
371. and leave you to face
the consequences alone?
Copy !req
372. I knew you would say that.
Copy !req
373. But, Admiral Merkatz...
Copy !req
374. I'm not asking you to
go on a pleasure cruise.
Copy !req
375. I have something
rather absurd in mind.
Copy !req
376. For the sake of the future, please save
a remnant of the Alliance forces...
Copy !req
377. Indeed, I ask you
to save its best parts.
Copy !req
378. In other words, I am asking you to lead
a movement in Sherwood Forest...
Copy !req
379. like the legends
of Robin Hood of old.
Copy !req
380. I agree!
Copy !req
381. The word "free" in "Free Planets
Alliance" means self-determination.
Copy !req
382. I have no nostalgic love for an Alliance
that's become a slave to the Empire!
Copy !req
383. It has no charm, like a woman
who's lost her self-respect.
Copy !req
384. I request permission
to go with Admiral Merkatz.
Copy !req
385. If General Schenkopp will
allow it, I'll also go.
Copy !req
386. I'm the son
of an exiled man.
Copy !req
387. More than ever, I don't wish to
live under the Empire's domination.
Copy !req
388. Please allow me to
accompany Admiral Merkatz!
Copy !req
389. But... one day,
God willing...
Copy !req
390. we would like Admiral
Yang to lead us again.
Copy !req
391. As long as you live, the
Rosenritter will follow you!
Copy !req
392. This is the first step
towards military government...
Copy !req
393. Swearing allegiance not to
a government, but to a man.
Copy !req
394. What a nasty problem.
Copy !req
395. And now, what will you do,
Admiral Cazellnu?
Copy !req
396. I'll remain behind.
Copy !req
397. I should say,
I have to remain behind.
Copy !req
398. If a whole bunch of officers disappear, it'll
arouse suspicion within the Imperial forces.
Copy !req
399. I'll wait with Admiral Yang
to see what they do with us.
Copy !req
400. We'll do so, as well.
Copy !req
401. Fundamentally, what do you
think of this, Admiral Merkatz?
Copy !req
402. When I came here in exile, I already
placed my fate in your hands.
Copy !req
403. Since this is what you've decided,
I will not disappoint you.
Copy !req
404. Thank you.
I entrust it to you.
Copy !req
405. Excellent! Now that it's all decided,
we'll have to get ready soon!
Copy !req
406. If we putz around, we won't be able to hide when the other Imperial ships come knocking!
Copy !req
407. I'm sorry, Frederica.
Copy !req
408. If anyone else did this,
I'd think them a fool as well.
Copy !req
409. But this is the only way
I know how to live my life.
Copy !req
410. On top of that, I've complicated
things for comrades I care about.
Copy !req
411. I don't know whether what
you've done is right or wrong.
Copy !req
412. But I'm sure
of one thing.
Copy !req
413. I'm head over heels
in love with you.
Copy !req
414. So the victory I've achieved
is one which I've been given.
Copy !req
415. How shameful.
Copy !req
416. I've achieved a victory which was
not mine, but given over to me...
Copy !req
417. just like a beggar.
Copy !req
418. Universal Century 799, Imperial
Year 490, 2240 on May 5th...
Copy !req
419. after twelve days, the battle
at Vermilion came to an end.
Copy !req
420. The Imperial fleet
suffered 87.2% losses.
Copy !req
421. Casualties totalled 72.0%.
Copy !req
422. The Alliance forces
suffered 81.6% losses.
Copy !req
423. Casualties totalled 73.7%.
Copy !req
424. Both sides together lost
two and a half million men.
Copy !req
425. It was truly a
battle to the death.
Copy !req
