5. I say to the citizens
of the Alliance.Copy !req
6. The time has come for you to consider if
your government is worthy of your support.Copy !req
7. On November 10th of Space Calendar 799,
New Imperial Calendar 1...Copy !req
8. around the same time the
Black Lancers launched...Copy !req
9. Black LancersCopy !req
10. Kaiser Reinhard's speech was
broadcast to the entire universe.Copy !req
11. Planet HeinessenCopy !req
12. Its contents were enough to shock
the citizens of the Alliance.Copy !req
13. The suicide of the Imperial High Commissioner, High Admiral Helmut Lennenkanpt...Copy !req
14. the escape from the capital by Alliance
Forces Retired Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli.Copy !req
15. The cause of this was the High Commissioner's intervention in domestic affairs...Copy !req
16. and the conspiracy by
the Alliance government.Copy !req
17. All the information that the people wanted but couldn't get was given to them on this occasion.Copy !req
18. I admit to my lack of sagacity and the
disgrace of the Imperial government.Copy !req
19. These acts deserve criticism...Copy !req
20. and I am profoundly saddened
that a man of such talent...Copy !req
21. was lost and that
world peace was disturbed.Copy !req
22. At the same time, however...Copy !req
23. I cannot overlook the Alliance
government's incompetence and insincerity.Copy !req
24. High Commissioner Lennenkanpt
was unwarranted...Copy !req
25. in his demand for the
arrest of Fleet Admiral Yang.Copy !req
26. But that is all the more reason
that the Alliance government...Copy !req
27. should have appealed the
wrongfulness of such a demand to me...Copy !req
28. and protected the rights of Fleet Admiral Yang, the most important contributor to the Alliance.Copy !req
29. By pandering to the strong,
they broke their own laws.Copy !req
30. Moreover, when that
scheme fell through...Copy !req
31. Free Planets Space Fleet General HQCopy !req
32. in an effort to deflect retribution,
they sold out the High Commissioner.Copy !req
33. For temporary profit, they sold out their
greatest contributor, and then my agent.Copy !req
34. Where did the pride of the
republican democracy go?Copy !req
35. At this stage, it is an injustice to continue
acknowledging such a political body.Copy !req
36. Retired Fleet Admiral BucockCopy !req
37. The spirit of the Peace Treaty
of Baalat has been desecrated.Copy !req
38. The only way to
rectify this is by force.Copy !req
39. Hey...Copy !req
40. Mrs. BucockCopy !req
41. While Fleet Admiral Yang
is not entirely blameless...Copy !req
42. he was a victim, and was
merely protecting his own rights.Copy !req
43. If Fleet Admiral Yang turns
himself in to my camp...Copy !req
44. I will treat him and his
party with due courtesy.Copy !req
45. Um, won't he give
us a down payment?Copy !req
46. With this, my path to return to the
Alliance has been completely blocked.Copy !req
47. All the waiting up to this point,
using up our resources...Copy !req
48. and not accepting the overture from
El Facil, has now become useless.Copy !req
49. But how exactly should we go about
building a third-party power on our own?Copy !req
50. Shall we return to Iserlohn?Copy !req
51. And by keeping El Facil in our fold,
we'll secure the exit of the Corridor.Copy !req
52. I guess we'll use
Attenborough's idea?Copy !req
53. Most likely, Kaiser Reinhard will order
Admiral Lutz to launch from Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
54. A large-scale pincer-envelopment
operation is his favorite tactic.Copy !req
55. That'll give us the
opportunity we need.Copy !req
56. Planet PhezzanCopy !req
57. Until the declaration of the repeat
expedition into Alliance territory...Copy !req
58. Kaiser Reinhard was showing
obvious signs of low biorhythms.Copy !req
59. Imperial Fleet Provisional HeadquartersCopy !req
60. But even during that time...Copy !req
61. as a ruler, he dealt with solving numerous
problems and didn't let his tasks build up.Copy !req
62. That owed much to the competence
of Reinhard's chief secretary...Copy !req
63. Hildegard von Mariendorf, too.Copy !req
64. Fraulein, what happened with the "slip of
the tongue" incident from a while ago?Copy !req
65. Yes, the one who made the inappropriate
utterance was given a reprimand...Copy !req
66. but the snitcher was given
a heavier punishment of demotion.Copy !req
67. Fraulein, you possess a
good sense of judgment.Copy !req
68. It will be a good lesson to those who think
I would be pleased by something like a snitch.Copy !req
69. I'm sure I will rely on
you from now on, too.Copy !req
70. I'm flattered.Copy !req
71. It's very kind of you to say so,
but I have a request.Copy !req
72. In regards to an unwelcome trend spreading
through the government and court recently...Copy !req
73. I'd like to request Your
Majesty to advise against it.Copy !req
74. Trend?Copy !req
75. To pay respect to Your Majesty goes without
saying, but there is a trend of using it as a tool.Copy !req
76. Specifically, what are
you referring to?Copy !req
77. For instance, when they greet one
another or toast among colleagues...Copy !req
78. they'll be denounced if they
fail to say "Sieg Kaiser"...Copy !req
79. and their superiors take note
of it in their evaluation chart.Copy !req
80. That's such a silly thing.Copy !req
81. Yes, exactly.Copy !req
82. That's why I'd like Your Majesty to
say that to all your subordinates.Copy !req
83. I'd like you to pre-empt the
trend of advancing one's cause...Copy !req
84. by denouncing and
belittling others, but...Copy !req
85. If you have to be bothered by such
things, your worries will never end.Copy !req
86. But the malignant buds should
be plucked at an early stage.Copy !req
87. I understand.Copy !req
88. We'll make
the decree today.Copy !req
89. Thank you for
listening to me.Copy !req
90. If Admiral Kircheis were alive, there would
be no need for me to be so assertive.Copy !req
91. By the way...Copy !req
92. Fraulein Mariendorf, I presume you have
a good plan for this upcoming expedition?Copy !req
93. If Your Majesty wishes...Copy !req
94. I have a plan that will bring the
leader of the Alliance government...Copy !req
95. to you within two weeks,
without further hostilities.Copy !req
96. How do you propose to pluck
the fruit from the tree?Copy !req
97. With one telegram.Copy !req
98. I see.Copy !req
99. You mean you'll make them
fight amongst themselves.Copy !req
100. Isn't that right,
Fraulein Mariendorf?Copy !req
101. Yes.Copy !req
102. It's almost a plan that belongs in the
territory of Fleet Admiral Oberstein.Copy !req
103. It appears that sages pass
the same bridge at times.Copy !req
104. And the merit
of that plan is?Copy !req
105. We won't have to involve the Alliance
capital, Heinessen, in the fires of war...Copy !req
106. and we won't
harm the civilians.Copy !req
107. We can attribute the debacle
of the Alliance to themselves...Copy !req
108. and we can deflect the
citizens' anger toward them.Copy !req
109. And its shortcomings are?Copy !req
110. It'll give Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli's party
some leverage, at least temporarily.Copy !req
111. Since he's the only
one they can count on...Copy !req
112. Your Majesty's enemies will
certainly gather around him.Copy !req
113. And...Copy !req
114. And?Copy !req
115. After this plan succeeds, Your Majesty
will be left with a bad aftertaste.Copy !req
116. I presume your desire is to destroy
the Alliance in a fair contest.Copy !req
117. Fraulein Mariendorf appears to possess a
silver mirror that reflects people's feelings.Copy !req
118. But even if we don't
implement any scheme...Copy !req
119. when a nation faces its demise
and when its people abandon it...Copy !req
120. I'm sure there will be someone who will try to
sell merchandise we haven't even requested.Copy !req
121. That's certainly possible.Copy !req
122. May I be of assistance?Copy !req
123. We're taking a break.Copy !req
124. Bring a cup
of coffee, Emil.Copy !req
125. For the Fraulein, too.Copy !req
126. Yes, Lord.Copy !req
127. He's a very good boy.Copy !req
128. Because of him, I don't have to feel
inconvenienced by things around myself.Copy !req
129. He'll be a good doctor.Copy !req
130. One whose patients will happily
entrust their lives to him...Copy !req
131. even if he may not be
perfect in his skills.Copy !req
132. I have no
younger brother, so...Copy !req
133. Since he himself was always in the position
of younger brother to Madam Annerose...Copy !req
134. he's finding pleasure
in reversing the roles.Copy !req
135. Role?Copy !req
136. I wonder what
my role is.Copy !req
137. A loyal secretary to a young,
great conqueror?Copy !req
138. Is that all...?Copy !req
139. Chief Commander!Copy !req
140. Oh, Lt. Commander Soun Soulz.Copy !req
141. You look good.Copy !req
142. Y... yes!Copy !req
143. As for myself, you see, my legs
don't listen to my demands anymore.Copy !req
144. Please, take my hand.Copy !req
145. Please, this way...Copy !req
146. Please, Chief Commander.Copy !req
147. Oh, no, I'm retired now.Copy !req
148. I'll sit here.Copy !req
149. But, Admiral...Copy !req
150. since you came back here in uniform, you'll
un-retire and fight against the Empire, right?Copy !req
151. You'll be leading
us once again, right?Copy !req
152. Yeah.Copy !req
153. Unlike Admiral Yang...Copy !req
154. I've received paychecks from the
Alliance government for over 50 years.Copy !req
155. After all that, I can't pretend
like I'm not involved, so...Copy !req
156. Admiral...Copy !req
157. I will come with you.Copy !req
158. How old are you?Copy !req
159. I'm 27, but...?Copy !req
160. That's too bad.Copy !req
161. Children under the age of 30 aren't
allowed to come with us on this campaign.Copy !req
162. This is a party
just for adults.Copy !req
163. What?Copy !req
164. Admiral...Copy !req
165. Lt. Commander Soul, I'll give you an
important assignment, all right?Copy !req
166. You cannot take
it lightly, okay?Copy !req
167. Go to Admiral Yang Wenli.Copy !req
168. And tell him, "Don't think
about taking revenge for me."Copy !req
169. "You have a task that
only you can accomplish."Copy !req
170. Admiral...!Copy !req
171. Well, this message
might be meaningless.Copy !req
172. For my part, I don't think I'll lose twice to a
fledgling who's 50 years younger than me.Copy !req
173. This is just in case of the remote
possibility where I get defeated.Copy !req
174. Welcome back, Admiral.Copy !req
175. You said you wouldn't take anyone
under 30 years of age with you.Copy !req
176. I'm 38 years old.Copy !req
177. I would think I'm
qualified to come along.Copy !req
178. No...Copy !req
179. You're such a pain.Copy !req
180. I'm sure Admiral Yang could
use any number of talents.Copy !req
181. With so many elders around,
the young ones will feel cramped.Copy !req
182. For Admiral Yang, Cazellnu
will be more than enough.Copy !req
183. Kaiser Reinhard didn't punish
you or me as war criminals.Copy !req
184. We owe him on a personal level but we should take it upon ourselves to go against him.Copy !req
185. There's no need for young ones
to be dutiful to a nation like this...Copy !req
186. but I've lived
long enough.Copy !req
187. Oh, that's right,
Lt. Commander Soul.Copy !req
188. In the basement of my house,
there's a yellow wooden box.Copy !req
189. In it are two bottles
of excellent brandy.Copy !req
190. Can you take one bottle
of it to Admiral Yang?Copy !req
191. The next day,
on the 11th...Copy !req
192. Kaiser Reinhard announced the fleet
formation for the 2nd Ragnarok Operation.Copy !req
193. Following the first fleet led by High
Admiral Bittenfeld, the Black Lancers...Copy !req
194. which had already departed...Copy !req
195. was the fleet of the Chief Commander of
the Space Fleet, nicknamed the "Gale Wolf..."Copy !req
196. Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer.Copy !req
197. After that were the fleets divided
from the former Lennenkanpt Fleet...Copy !req
198. led by Admirals Knapfstein
and Grillpalzer.Copy !req
199. In addition, the fleets
of Admiral Grotewohl...Copy !req
200. Admiral GrotewohlCopy !req
201. Admiral Wagenseil...Copy !req
202. Admiral WagenseilCopy !req
203. and Vice Admirals Kurlich
and Meivoher will follow...Copy !req
204. Vice Admiral KurlichCopy !req
205. Vice Admiral MeivoherCopy !req
206. with the middle section being
fortified by High Admiral Eisenach.Copy !req
207. Bridging the important section between
Reinhard's directly commanded fleet...Copy !req
208. and the forward fleets will
be High Admiral Fahrenheit.Copy !req
209. The position of the Chief Staff Officer
who will support Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
210. will be assumed by the Chief of High
Command Office, Fleet Admiral Reuental.Copy !req
211. Under him, Admiral Bergengrun will
be in charge of fleet deployment.Copy !req
212. Senior Adjutant, Vice Admiral Streit,
Junior Adjutant, Lt. Commander Lucke...Copy !req
213. and Commander of the Royal
Guards, Commodore Kissling...Copy !req
214. as well as Chief Secretary
Hildegard von Mariendorf...Copy !req
215. will also be aboard the
supreme flagship, Brunhild.Copy !req
216. Guarding the rear will be the commander who
proved his valor in the Battle of Vermilion...Copy !req
217. earning the nickname
"Ironshield," High Admiral Muller.Copy !req
218. And, just as
Yang anticipated...Copy !req
219. High Admiral Lutz, commander
of Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
220. was also expected to be given
an order to join the battle lines.Copy !req
221. At the same time, Chief of Military
Affairs, Fleet Admiral Oberstein...Copy !req
222. was ordered to stay on Phezzan and, along
with Chief of Civil Engineering Silverberche...Copy !req
223. who was ordered to oversee civil affairs,
and take charge in the Kaiser's adsence.Copy !req
224. I thought you would oppose this
decision for re-expedition.Copy !req
225. No, this is fine.Copy !req
226. But isn't a hasty military campaign without
sufficient preparation a risk in some ways?Copy !req
227. The opposition, too, won't be sufficiently
prepared, so things are even in that regard.Copy !req
228. The important thing is to place oneself
in the position to control the situation...Copy !req
229. and not to give away the
initiative to the opposition.Copy !req
230. Besides, the Kaiser's true strength is in
swift decisions coupled by swift action.Copy !req
231. It is unbecoming for the Kaiser to sit
and wait for the situation to change...Copy !req
232. when you think about it.Copy !req
233. You're right.Copy !req
234. At that time, the entire Free Planets
Alliance was in utter confusion.Copy !req
235. High Council BuildingCopy !req
236. There were those who called
for all-out resistance...Copy !req
237. regardless of whether or not the
whole nation would be annihilated...Copy !req
238. those who advocated for
unconditional surrender...Copy !req
239. those who evacuated to unpopulated
mountainous areas for safety...Copy !req
240. and those who just cried.Copy !req
241. In some cases, panicked citizens sought
a way out and rushed to the spaceport...Copy !req
242. which turned
into a riot.Copy !req
243. This led to several
thousand casualties...Copy !req
244. as a result of the clash between
them and the security police.Copy !req
245. Fleet Admiral Bucock refused
to fight against Yang Wenli...Copy !req
246. but he's saying he'll fight if the
opposition is Kaiser Reinhard?Copy !req
247. It's not so strange.Copy !req
248. I would like you to
please to consider it.Copy !req
249. For a long time, Fleet Admiral
Bucock had a friendship with you.Copy !req
250. But why doesn't
he want to see you?Copy !req
251. Don't you think it's
because he knows too well...Copy !req
252. what you were like before
you became the Council Leader?Copy !req
253. You mean my
character has changed?Copy !req
254. Fleet Admiral Bucock
isn't the one who changed.Copy !req
255. You will acknowledge
that, at least.Copy !req
256. No, I...Copy !req
257. all this is
because Yang Wenli...Copy !req
258. killed the
High Commissioner...Copy !req
259. He... privatized the military...Copy !req
260. and militarized...Copy !req
261. is against civilian control...Copy !req
262. Black Lancers Flagship - Konigs TigerCopy !req
263. We've detected an enemy fleet!Copy !req
264. We've detected an enemy fleet!Copy !req
265. An enemy,
in a place like this?Copy !req
266. A small group of about
ten ships is approaching us.Copy !req
267. Ten ships?Copy !req
268. It's not worth the bother.Copy !req
269. It's a matter of warrior pride to
fight against a worthy enemy.Copy !req
270. Don't even bother,
just maintain course.Copy !req
271. If they start to attack us,
we'll crush them in one shot, of course.Copy !req
272. There's a message
from the enemy ship!Copy !req
273. "We have no intention of opening
fire, we request negotiations."Copy !req
274. "Negotiations?"Copy !req
275. They claim to be carrying Alliance
Special Emissary, William Odets.Copy !req
276. He says he'd like to open negotiations
for the withdrawal of the military force.Copy !req
277. "Negotiations for the withdrawal
of the military force?"Copy !req
278. Give them a response like this:Copy !req
279. "I have no authority with
which to open negotiations."Copy !req
280. "Recommend you contact Fleet
Admiral Mittermeyer in the next fleet."Copy !req
281. "We will guarantee
you safe passage."Copy !req
282. Have a ship guide them!Copy !req
283. Cruiser Dolohoff IIICopy !req
284. What should we do,
Special Emissary?Copy !req
285. We have no choice.Copy !req
286. Wait, unlike that wild
boar warrior, Bittenfeld...Copy !req
287. William OdetsCopy !req
288. Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer
should be a better listener.Copy !req
289. We'll do as they say.Copy !req
290. With the guidance
of a Reich destroyer...Copy !req
291. the Special Emissary's party was
able to continue their journey...Copy !req
292. and contacted Mittermeyer's
fleet after about three days.Copy !req
293. That sneaky Bittenfeld...Copy !req
294. he must be passing this
troublesome guest on to me...Copy !req
295. so that he can continue to go forward
and widen the distance between us.Copy !req
296. Then should we
ignore them, too?Copy !req
297. Considering my duty as a Chief Commander
of the Space Fleet, I doubt I can do that.Copy !req
298. Anyway, I'll see him.Copy !req
299. Under the Peace Treaty of Baalat...Copy !req
300. the sovereignty and territory of the Free
Planets Alliance were supposedly guaranteed.Copy !req
301. Regardless, the Galactic Reich
is about to invade our land...Copy !req
302. violating both the spirit and letter
of the Peace Treaty with unjust force.Copy !req
303. If you do not wish for antipathy in the
present and criticism in the future...Copy !req
304. you should withdraw
your forces at once...Copy !req
305. and advocate your position
through diplomatic negotiations.Copy !req
306. Therefore, my...Copy !req
307. How dare you
utter such nonsense!Copy !req
308. Who violated the Peace Treaty and
harmed High Commissioner Lennenkanpt...Copy !req
309. the fully authorized
agent of the Kaiser?Copy !req
310. It was your
Alliance government!Copy !req
311. Mein Kaiser launched this military campaign
because he believed that your government...Copy !req
312. had neither the intention nor the
competence to uphold the Peace Treaty.Copy !req
313. If you have any sense...Copy !req
314. shouldn't you come kneel before the
Kaiser and avoid such useless bloodshed?Copy !req
315. High Commissioner
Lennenkanpt committed suicide.Copy !req
316. And the ones who forced him into such a
predicament were Yang Wenli and his party.Copy !req
317. Then why are you letting Yang Wenli
and his party do as they wish?Copy !req
318. Because your Imperial force isn't allowing
our Alliance government any time!Copy !req
319. Time, huh?Copy !req
320. With time, Yang Wenli and his party
will probably be even stronger...Copy !req
321. and your Alliance government
will only get thinner.Copy !req
322. Even if you had a force ten times that of
Yang's, I doubt you'd be able to defeat Yang.Copy !req
323. Well, you might be right.Copy !req
324. Certainly, even Kaiser Reinhard, who has
a force a hundred times that of Yang's...Copy !req
325. wasn't able to do
anything about him.Copy !req
326. Thus, an untalented bunch like us
stands no chance against him, I'm sure.Copy !req
327. Admiral DroisenCopy !req
328. You bastard, dare you
insult His Majesty!Copy !req
329. Cut it out!Copy !req
330. You're warriors, aren't you?Copy !req
331. By killing someone who came to
the enemy camp alone and unarmed...Copy !req
332. to whom do you intend
to boast your deed?Copy !req
333. I ask you:Copy !req
334. Suppose one of the admirals here visited your
Alliance capital and insulted your leader.Copy !req
335. Is there anyone among your key officers who would make him pay for his crime with his life?Copy !req
336. I doubt there is,
unfortunately.Copy !req
337. Then how about
Yang Wenli's subordinates?Copy !req
338. They risked their
lives to rescue him.Copy !req
339. Mein Kaiser does not fear the Alliance
government regardless of its large force...Copy !req
340. but he is cautious against Yang Wenli and
his party regardless of his small force.Copy !req
341. You yourself illuminated the
reason behind it, didn't you?Copy !req
342. Special Emissary, while
I appreciate your efforts...Copy !req
343. it seems there is no
more to be discussed here.Copy !req
344. If you have anything more to say,
I suggest you speak to the Kaiser directly.Copy !req
345. That's fine, but Fleet Admiral...Copy !req
346. until such time that I ask the Kaiser for
the withdrawal of your military force...Copy !req
347. I request that you
suspend your military action.Copy !req
348. That can't be done.Copy !req
349. While you are free to
meet with His Majesty...Copy !req
350. the action of our fleet need not be
restricted by what you plan to do.Copy !req
351. Unless we are given a new Imperial order,
we will follow the original Imperial order...Copy !req
352. that is, to go into Alliance territory
and remove any resistance forces.Copy !req
353. If you want to stop our move, I recommend
that you hasten your way to see Mein Kaiser.Copy !req
354. It is meaningless for you to stay
here and make further speeches.Copy !req
355. We'll head for Phezzan.Copy !req
356. We have no choice but to make
our request directly to the Kaiser.Copy !req
357. What happened with the garrulous
dragon-head with the snake-tail.Copy !req
358. Admiral Volker Axel von BuroCopy !req
359. He left for Phezzan to make his
request directly to the Kaiser.Copy !req
360. I see.Copy !req
361. Are you fine with that?Copy !req
362. I don't see how someone who can't even
persuade me can persuade the Kaiser.Copy !req
363. Besides, I'm not supposed to interfere
with a direct appeal to the Kaiser.Copy !req
364. But I think I should send
a report, as a precaution.Copy !req
365. The vague misgivings Mittermeyer
sensed at this moment...Copy !req
366. became reality later
in an unexpected way.Copy !req
367. In November of Space Calendar 799,
New Imperial Calendar 1...Copy !req
368. the Imperial forces, with a rock-solid
formation and fierce wave-like energy...Copy !req
369. began their movement to swallow
the whole of Alliance territory.Copy !req
