4. GALACTIC HEROESCopy !req
5. There will always be differences
in opinion among historians...Copy !req
6. about who the victors were
in the Battle of Vermilion.Copy !req
7. Strategically, the Imperial
forces were victorious.Copy !req
8. Tactically, the Alliance
forces were victorious.Copy !req
9. Upon the battlefield,
the Alliance forces won...Copy !req
10. but beyond the battlefield,
the Imperial forces won.Copy !req
11. There were many theories...Copy !req
12. but there was not one
that could win over everybody.Copy !req
13. The feelings of those
involved was very clear.Copy !req
14. Neither side believed
themselves to be the victors.Copy !req
15. Perhaps their standards
were too high...Copy !req
16. They each appraised the other's
victory higher than anybody ever could.Copy !req
17. One could say that both sides
suffered from an inferiority complex.Copy !req
18. The Imperial forces that were dispatched
to various places have been recalled.Copy !req
19. Their numbers are
greater than 40,000.Copy !req
20. It was right to ask Admiral Merkatz
to leave as soon as possible.Copy !req
21. So how many
ships got away?Copy !req
22. Sixty.
11,820 men.Copy !req
23. Officially, all of them
were killed in action.Copy !req
24. Compared with the number of Imperial
forces outside, this number is pathetic.Copy !req
25. The number of battle-capable ships
remaining is less than three thousand.Copy !req
26. If the other side changes its
mind, and restarts the battle...Copy !req
27. we won't be able to
take it this time.Copy !req
28. There's a strange
tang to the tea...Copy !req
29. when it's drunk while we sit here
surrounded by 40,000 enemy ships.Copy !req
30. Well... what now?Copy !req
31. 2300, 6 May
UC799 / RC 490Copy !req
32. So that's Yang Wenli?Copy !req
33. I disappoint you, don't I?Copy !req
34. I am Neithart Muller.Copy !req
35. It is my honor to meet the
greatest admiral of the Alliance.Copy !req
36. No, the honor is mine.Copy !req
37. If you had been born
on our side of the galaxy...Copy !req
38. I would have wanted to
study tactics under you.Copy !req
39. It is unfortunate that
this will never be.Copy !req
40. Thank you.Copy !req
41. I, too, wish that you had been
born on our side of the galaxy.Copy !req
42. If so, I'd be taking an
afternoon nap right about now.Copy !req
43. Unfortunate, isn't it?Copy !req
44. Yes, quite.Copy !req
45. Please, follow me.Copy !req
46. I have wanted to meet
you for a very long time.Copy !req
47. My wish has
finally come true.Copy !req
48. Thank you.Copy !req
49. Our paths have
crossed before.Copy !req
50. Do you remember the Battle
of Astate, three years ago?Copy !req
51. I received your
Excellency's message.Copy !req
52. You wished me well, until the day
we met again on the field of battle.Copy !req
53. Thanks to that, I've made
it through some bad times.Copy !req
54. You didn't respond
to my message.Copy !req
55. That was rude of me.
Please pardon me.Copy !req
56. That is not what
I want from you.Copy !req
57. How about it?
Won't you come and serve me?Copy !req
58. We understand that you've
been appointed Fleet Admiral.Copy !req
59. I, too, wish to raise you up
to be an Imperial Fleet Admiral.Copy !req
60. Surely that title would have more
weight if you came over to our side?Copy !req
61. This is a great honor,
but I must refuse.Copy !req
62. Why?Copy !req
63. I don't believe that I can be of
assistance to you, your Excellency.Copy !req
64. Is that true?Copy !req
65. Or, did you really want to say that
I am not a charismatic enough master?Copy !req
66. No, that's not it!Copy !req
67. If I had been
born in the Empire...Copy !req
68. I would have volunteered to serve your
Excellency, even if you hadn't asked.Copy !req
69. But I didn't grow up drinking the same
water as the people of the Empire.Copy !req
70. I hear that drinking water one's not
used to is not good for one's health.Copy !req
71. I don't believe that your
water necessarily suits you.Copy !req
72. Do you not feel that, with all
of your valiant accomplishments...Copy !req
73. you've been subject to persecution
more than you've been rewarded?Copy !req
74. I feel that I've
been amply rewarded.Copy !req
75. Besides, I like the
taste of that water.Copy !req
76. Do you want to say that your
loyalty is reserved for democracy?Copy !req
77. Yeah, well...Copy !req
78. Is democracy such
a great thing?Copy !req
79. Didn't the Galactic Republic give birth
to Rudolf and his Galactic Empire?Copy !req
80. Wasn't the one who delivered your
beloved nation into my hands...Copy !req
81. your own ruler, chosen by the free
will of the people of the Alliance?Copy !req
82. Democratic rule is a body chosen
by its citizens in free will...Copy !req
83. which subsumes the power
and spirit of self.Copy !req
84. If you could pardon my
rudeness, your Excellency...Copy !req
85. your words are as if the value of fire should
be denied, simply because arson exists.Copy !req
86. Hmm...Copy !req
87. That may be true...Copy !req
88. but wouldn't you say that the
same applies to dictatorship?Copy !req
89. You cannot deny the efficiency of
government by a strong leadership...Copy !req
90. simply because
tyrants do exist.Copy !req
91. I can.Copy !req
92. How?Copy !req
93. The right to violate the rights of
the people belongs to the people.Copy !req
94. In other words...Copy !req
95. when the people gave power
to Rudolf von Goldenbaum...Copy !req
96. Or to an incomparably
smaller man like Job Truniht...Copy !req
97. the responsibility
belongs to the people.Copy !req
98. It belongs to
no one else.Copy !req
99. That's the
important point.Copy !req
100. The sin of
dictatorship is...Copy !req
101. that the people can push off the
failures of government onto one man.Copy !req
102. Compared to that cardinal sin...Copy !req
103. the accomplishments of a
hundred wise rulers seem small.Copy !req
104. In addition, your Excellency, a ruler
as great as you is exceedingly rare.Copy !req
105. It's only natural that your accomplishments
and your failures also stand out.Copy !req
106. I feel that your ideology is bold
and novel, but a little extreme.Copy !req
107. I can only agree
in principle.Copy !req
108. Do you mean to turn me
to your point of view?Copy !req
109. No, not at all.Copy !req
110. I only offer a counterpoint
to your ideology.Copy !req
111. I believe that an ideology, seen from another
side, must give rise to a counter-ideology.Copy !req
112. I merely point out that such
a counterpoint must exist.Copy !req
113. That was what
I wanted to say.Copy !req
114. So no ideology is supreme,
and no ideology stands alone?Copy !req
115. Is that
your conviction?Copy !req
116. No, that's just what I was thinking.
I wouldn't call it a conviction.Copy !req
117. Perhaps, in this universe, there
exists a solitary, absolute truth.Copy !req
118. Perhaps it clarifies
every question.Copy !req
119. But that's beyond the
reach of these short hands.Copy !req
120. Then my hands are
even shorter than yours.Copy !req
121. I don't believe that the
absolute truth is necessary.Copy !req
122. I only need the power to
freely accomplish my dreams.Copy !req
123. One could say that it's the power to not have
to take orders from those one despises.Copy !req
124. Have you ever thought that way?
Aren't there people you dislike?Copy !req
125. I despise those who hide in safety
while they glorify war and patriotism...Copy !req
126. and send other people to the battlefield
while they relax behind the lines.Copy !req
127. It is a difficult thing to live with
those people under the same flag.Copy !req
128. You are different from them.
You're on the front lines.Copy !req
129. Please pardon my words.
It's admirable.Copy !req
130. I understand. It was the only thing
you approve of in me, after all.Copy !req
131. I'm honored.Copy !req
132. I had a dear friend, once.Copy !req
133. Long ago, when we swore to
seize the universe together...Copy !req
134. we also made
another oath.Copy !req
135. That we would never emulate
those despicable noblemen...Copy !req
136. and would stand at the fore
and fight, and seize our victory.Copy !req
137. I was ready to sacrifice myself for that
friend, no matter when, no matter where.Copy !req
138. But, in the end, the one
who was sacrificed was him.Copy !req
139. I always relied so much upon him,
but he gave up even his life for me...Copy !req
140. If that dear friend
were still alive...Copy !req
141. the one before me right now
would not be you, but your corpse.Copy !req
142. The admirals who occupied your
capital have received a message.Copy !req
143. The Fleet Commander-in-Chief,
your superior officer, perhaps...Copy !req
144. has asked that he be allowed
to assume sole responsibility...Copy !req
145. and that I not visit
my wrath on any other.Copy !req
146. That sounds a lot like
Fleet Commander-in-Chief Bucock.Copy !req
147. But I beg your Excellency
to refuse his request.Copy !req
148. Please, sir...Copy !req
149. It would be unworthy of us
to let him bear the whole burden.Copy !req
150. Admiral Yang,
I am not a vengeful man.Copy !req
151. True, I did bear a grudge against
the nobility of the Empire.Copy !req
152. But I merely think that
you are a worthy opponent.Copy !req
153. Placing the one most responsible, the high
commander, under arrest, was unavoidable.Copy !req
154. However, as the fires
of war die down...Copy !req
155. the meaningless spillage of more blood
is unnecessary, from my point of view.Copy !req
156. If I give you your freedom,
what will you do now?Copy !req
157. I'll retire.Copy !req
158. Democratic rule is a body chosen
by its citizens in free will...Copy !req
159. which subsumes the
power and spirit of self.Copy !req
160. Planet HeinessenCopy !req
161. 12 MayCopy !req
162. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!Copy !req
163. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!Copy !req
164. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!Copy !req
165. The High Council BuildingCopy !req
166. What has happened
to the court in exile?Copy !req
167. Count Remscheidt, their leader, committed
suicide when he was surrounded by our men.Copy !req
168. All of the other conspirators, except for the
Secretary of Defense, have been arrested.Copy !req
169. I understand that Secretary of Defense
Merkatz was killed in action at Vermilion.Copy !req
170. Really?Copy !req
171. The question is what has happened to
the young Kaiser, who was in their care.Copy !req
172. It seems that Baron Alfred Lansburg, who
kidnapped the Kaiser, has fled with him.Copy !req
173. We have put out an
all-points bulletin for him.Copy !req
174. Forget it.
Let him go.Copy !req
175. Something that's supposed
to die and doesn't...Copy !req
176. will eventually rot away,
whether it's a man or a nation.Copy !req
177. If they dream that the Goldenbaum
Dynasty will rise again...Copy !req
178. they should stay in bed,
and not look at reality.Copy !req
179. Why should we spare the effort
to deal with men like that?Copy !req
180. However, if you don't deal with the embers,
they may become kindling one day.Copy !req
181. Perhaps it's best that
we continue the search.Copy !req
182. Very well. However, the military
police may not be up to the task.Copy !req
183. About jurisdiction, and how
the Alliance should be governed...Copy !req
184. Put a team of administrative experts
together, with you as the lead.Copy !req
185. Yes, sir.Copy !req
186. Even though we'll
be moving out soon...Copy !req
187. it's still best to
keep things tidy.Copy !req
188. Sir, where should
I put this?Copy !req
189. Oh, in the
study, out back.Copy !req
190. Got it.Copy !req
191. What's with that?Copy !req
192. What do you mean, what?Copy !req
193. That's 2Lt Louis Mashengo.Copy !req
194. I know that.
What's he doing here?Copy !req
195. When I was on
assignment to Phezzan...Copy !req
196. didn't you give him
an order to protect me?Copy !req
197. Since he hasn't received any new
orders, he's carrying on with his old one.Copy !req
198. So, is he going
to Earth, too?Copy !req
199. A man cannot forsake
his own destiny.Copy !req
200. Because of these several
points, most opinions are...Copy !req
201. that it is too early to dismantle the Alliance
and place it under direct Imperial rule.Copy !req
202. What do you think?Copy !req
203. I agree with them.Copy !req
204. Force them to disarm, and
recognize a facade of autonomy.Copy !req
205. Put off full
integration for now.Copy !req
206. I see.Copy !req
207. But I believe we should adopt a
policy of impoverishing the Alliance.Copy !req
208. When military spending is sharply
reduced, the economy will rebound.Copy !req
209. There's no need for them
to become a second Phezzan.Copy !req
210. Of course.Copy !req
211. We only need to levy a security
tax or a stationing cost on them.Copy !req
212. The general structure is fine.
Fill in the details now.Copy !req
213. Yes, sir.Copy !req
214. How about
this location?Copy !req
215. Let's see?Copy !req
216. Hmm...
Freemont Street, eh?Copy !req
217. Yes. The location is good,
and there are a lot of rooms.Copy !req
218. When Julian and the others
return, they can live there too.Copy !req
219. Sounds good.Copy !req
220. Then I'll go
take a look.Copy !req
221. Yo, folks.Copy !req
222. Are you discussing your wedding?Copy !req
223. We're looking for a house.Copy !req
224. When I retire, we're going to get
kicked out of the officers' quarters.Copy !req
225. Speaking of that...Copy !req
226. Your notice of retirement,
Schenkopp's, Attenborough's...Copy !req
227. and Bucock's
have been accepted.Copy !req
228. Mine and the others'
have been rejected.Copy !req
229. Right now, there's a need for
people to go into administration.Copy !req
230. If you don't do it,
it'll cause some problems.Copy !req
231. Admiral Rockwell has been promoted
to Commander of the Armed Forces.Copy !req
232. I'll take over Logistics
and Support, for now.Copy !req
233. What about the fleet?Copy !req
234. Trung Yu Chan will
be its acting secretary.Copy !req
235. Now that we've given up our
cruisers and our airspace...Copy !req
236. only the framework of the
Space Fleet remains.Copy !req
237. As I thought.Copy !req
238. Now Sherwood takes on
even more importance.Copy !req
239. Anyway, no matter what
conditions the Empire demands...Copy !req
240. the treaty will be signed and
made public tomorrow.Copy !req
241. Universal Century 799,
Imperial Year 490, May 25th.Copy !req
242. The Empire and the Alliance formally
agreed on conditions of ceasefire.Copy !req
243. Named after the sun that
Heinessen circles around...Copy !req
244. it is clear to any observer that the
Treaty of Barlat is a treaty of surrender.Copy !req
245. After signing the treaty, Supreme
Chairman Job Truniht announced...Copy !req
246. that he would take responsibility
for the defeat and resign.Copy !req
247. When they found out the
contents of the shameful treaty...Copy !req
248. and the circumstances
surrounding the ceasefire...Copy !req
249. the citizens of the Alliance turned
their agitation and their hatred...Copy !req
250. from the Empire to Truniht,
the man who had betrayed them.Copy !req
251. First condition:Copy !req
252. The Galactic Empire guarantees
that the Free Planets Alliance...Copy !req
253. continues to retain
its name and its autonomy...Copy !req
254. How ironic.Copy !req
255. We've always been referred
to as "border rebels."Copy !req
256. Do you want to make yourself
the leader of the "border rebels?"Copy !req
257. Truniht is a goner.
Islands is sick and abed.Copy !req
258. Somebody has to
assume the government.Copy !req
259. Otherwise, that
seventh condition...Copy !req
260. You mean about the consul,
the representative of the Kaiser?Copy !req
261. Yes, the consul.
He'd become the de facto ruler.Copy !req
262. Somebody has to deal
with the internal rioting...Copy !req
263. and not give the consul
an excuse to intervene.Copy !req
264. We must protect the
autonomy of the Alliance.Copy !req
265. You think it'll
be that easy?Copy !req
266. This thing's like a
noose around our necks.Copy !req
267. Only our tiptoes
are on the ground.Copy !req
268. Survival is going
to be difficult.Copy !req
269. If that's the case...Copy !req
270. No, because that's the case, I must
keep the last pulse of the Alliance alive.Copy !req
271. 26 MayCopy !req
272. Amongst the three star systems
the Alliance turned over to us...Copy !req
273. station the fleet at Urvasi,
in the Gandharva star system.Copy !req
274. Steinmetz should be
appointed its commander.Copy !req
275. Now, the question
is the consul...Copy !req
276. The consul must have
a talent for administration...Copy !req
277. and, if necessary, use force
to suppress any rebellion.Copy !req
278. I think that Reuental will
do just fine in that role.Copy !req
279. Yes, sir.Copy !req
280. But both Admirals Reuental and Mittermeyer are needed at home to strengthen our troops.Copy !req
281. Then I suggest Lennenkanpt.Copy !req
282. Again, sir...Copy !req
283. Lennenkanpt is too much of a military
man. His thinking is too linear.Copy !req
284. In addition, he lost
infamously to Yang Wenli.Copy !req
285. I'm afraid that he may show too
little leniency toward the Alliance.Copy !req
286. If Lennenkanpt
fails, he's out.Copy !req
287. If the Alliance is at fault,
it'll be punished. That's all.Copy !req
288. No need to think
further of it.Copy !req
289. Commodore Anton FernerCopy !req
290. You opposed his Excellency's decision
to appoint Reuental to the consulship.Copy !req
291. There seems to be
some other reason, sir.Copy !req
292. Wild animals...Copy !req
293. Huh?Copy !req
294. Once released, they
become extremely dangerous.Copy !req
295. They must be kept where they
can be seen, under lock and key.Copy !req
296. Former Chairman Job Truniht
seeks an audience, sir.Copy !req
297. No.Copy !req
298. But...Copy !req
299. I've attained the highest
level of power in this land...Copy !req
300. so why should I meet
a man I don't wish to meet?Copy !req
301. Sir...Copy !req
302. If I could, I would throw that piece of trash
to the people who thirst for vengeance.Copy !req
303. I understand
your feelings...Copy !req
304. but we guaranteed that we would
not hold those in power responsible.Copy !req
305. Perhaps this goes against your wishes,
but if we don't keep our bargain...Copy !req
306. it will bring about the fear that the
Empire will not honor its promises.Copy !req
307. What does that bastard want?Copy !req
308. Guarantees that his life and
his property will be unharmed.Copy !req
309. Plus, he wants the right to
be a resident in the Empire.Copy !req
310. He says that if he could be given a post,
he would like to serve your Excellency.Copy !req
311. It sounds like he's too embarrassed
to live with the people he sold out.Copy !req
312. Does he believe that he would receive
my protection if he lives in the Empire?Copy !req
313. Very well.
Request granted.Copy !req
314. As I've agreed already,
there's no need to see him.Copy !req
315. Send him home!Copy !req
316. Yes, sir.Copy !req
317. Fraulein!Copy !req
318. Yes?Copy !req
319. Fraulein Mariendorf...Copy !req
320. I'm a small-hearted man.Copy !req
321. Even though I know very well
that you saved my life...Copy !req
322. I cannot bring
myself to thank you.Copy !req
323. Please give me a little time.Copy !req
324. I overstepped my bounds.
Your rebuke was well deserved.Copy !req
325. But since you've put it that
way, I'm at a loss for words.Copy !req
326. If you could forgive me,
I have one request.Copy !req
327. Please be sure to reward Admirals
Mittermeyer and Reuental for their efforts.Copy !req
328. Yes, I will.Copy !req
329. You gotta be kidding!Copy !req
330. I'm a close personal
friend of Yang Wenli!Copy !req
331. If you can't prove it,
we won't let you through!Copy !req
332. Oh, excuse me;
please let him through.Copy !req
333. He's an old dear
friend of mine.Copy !req
334. It's been, what, sixteen years
since your old man's funeral?Copy !req
335. No... it's been seventeen.Copy !req
336. That's right, distant
"close personal friend."Copy !req
337. That couldn't be helped.
They wouldn't let me in.Copy !req
338. Hey!
Are you Julian Minci?Copy !req
339. Marinesk told me
all about you.Copy !req
340. I'm Boris Konev.
Nice to meet ya.Copy !req
341. Same here.Copy !req
342. Thank you for
helping Julian.Copy !req
343. It was the Beryoska, right?Copy !req
344. Your friend made it
very comfortable for him.Copy !req
345. That was all Marinesk.
No need to thank me.Copy !req
346. The problem is,
that was my ship.Copy !req
347. The Alliance government is
practically gone, except for its name.Copy !req
348. Plus, I can't very well take
this up with the Imperial forces.Copy !req
349. Well, I can do
something about that.Copy !req
350. But first, could you listen
to a request of mine?Copy !req
351. What?Copy !req
352. Julian and one other person
would like to make a little trip.Copy !req
353. I want you to keep him safe,
as another passenger.Copy !req
354. A trip? To where?Copy !req
355. You know where.
Earth, of course.Copy !req
356. TerraCopy !req
357. Terraism Religious HeadquartersCopy !req
358. Grand Bishop...Copy !req
359. De VillierCopy !req
360. Reinhard von Lohengramm has
conquered the Free Planets Alliance.Copy !req
361. Grand BishopCopy !req
362. What is he doing now?Copy !req
363. He appointed a man by the name
of Lennenkanpt to watch over it...Copy !req
364. while he himself
returned to the Empire.Copy !req
365. When he left, he took
Truniht along with him.Copy !req
366. That man has
served his purpose.Copy !req
367. Are you thinking of using him in
the Empire, as a rotten apple?Copy !req
368. No. We have another
card to play in the Empire.Copy !req
369. Are you certain
of this man?Copy !req
370. Even though
he's deathly ill...Copy !req
371. as long as he lives another half a year,
we'll have achieved our objective.Copy !req
372. Very well.
Go to it, then.Copy !req
373. What of Phezzan?Copy !req
374. There are too many unpredictable
elements on Phezzan.Copy !req
375. Haven't you been able
to contact Rubinsky yet?Copy !req
376. Yes. The depths of that man's
heart are profound indeed.Copy !req
377. Not only is his
