2. OF THECopy !req
3. Planet OdinCopy !req
4. Julian and the others,
who were visiting Odin...Copy !req
5. heard Kaiser Reinhard's speech, and
understood Yang Wenli's predicament.Copy !req
6. They tried to return to
Alliance territory immediately...Copy !req
7. but right at that time, they were
involved in an unexpected situation.Copy !req
8. How did it go?Copy !req
9. There was a robbery at the
hotel they were staying in...Copy !req
10. and luggage belonging to
Julian and the others was stolen.Copy !req
11. It wasn't that Julian and the others
were targeted, it was merely theft.Copy !req
12. But the fact that the data disk he
obtained at Terraism Headquarters...Copy !req
13. was among the stolen items
complicated the situation.Copy !req
14. As they considered
the worst case scenario...Copy !req
15. they couldn't leave it to the
hands of the Imperial police.Copy !req
16. They couldn't help
but feel desperate...Copy !req
17. faced with the difficulties of doing
investigative tasks they are not trained for...Copy !req
18. in a place they are
not accustomed to.Copy !req
19. At the same time, the Imperial fleets were
successively entering Alliance territory.Copy !req
20. Eisenach Fleet Flagship - VissarCopy !req
21. Ernst von Eisenach, whose fleet
forms the expedition's middle section...Copy !req
22. is extremely reticent and
is nicknamed "The Silent Admiral."Copy !req
23. High Admiral Ernst von EisenachCopy !req
24. Because of this, he is reputed to
be strict and difficult to please.Copy !req
25. Listen, when the Admiral snaps his
fingers once, bring a cup of coffee.Copy !req
26. Never take more
than four minutes.Copy !req
27. When he snaps his fingers
twice, it's whisky.Copy !req
28. Don't make a mistake,
no matter what.Copy !req
29. After three minutes
and fifty seconds...Copy !req
30. Ever since then, Eisenach...Copy !req
31. always had his fill of one cup of coffee and
two cups of coffee during this campaign.Copy !req
32. This is...Copy !req
33. Laid-off military
police officers?Copy !req
34. Yeah, since the birth
of the New Reich...Copy !req
35. the enforcement of official discipline
in the military police became thorough...Copy !req
36. so there are lots of ex-officers
who have been fired from their jobs.Copy !req
37. Most of them are miscreants
who were receiving bribes...Copy !req
38. or robbing the
citizens through blackmail.Copy !req
39. But those are the ones who
have underground connections.Copy !req
40. But how did you...?Copy !req
41. Just because the political
body of Phezzan died...Copy !req
42. doesn't mean all Phezzani
merchants became extinct.Copy !req
43. Odin is a huge market...Copy !req
44. so both on the surface and underground, Phezzan's influences are everywhere.Copy !req
45. I see.Copy !req
46. You really were worthy of being a former
secretary to the Phezzan High Commissioner.Copy !req
47. Don't remind me of that
unpleasant experience.Copy !req
48. By the way,
where has Poplan gone?Copy !req
49. What? He hasn't
come back here at all?Copy !req
50. What a happy-go-lucky guy!Copy !req
51. Who the hell're you?Copy !req
52. Hey, you two!Copy !req
53. You're wrong!
Please stop...Copy !req
54. Who was that guy?Copy !req
55. Please stop...
He's...Copy !req
56. Honey, honey...Copy !req
57. Stop!Copy !req
58. Honey, please stop...Copy !req
59. I never thought the
husband would come home.Copy !req
60. Wait!
You little...Copy !req
61. Bastard, just come
to the battlefield!Copy !req
62. Then I'll fight with
you fair and square!Copy !req
63. But for now,
I'll have to be prudent...Copy !req
64. Damn, what're you thinking...Copy !req
65. causing needless problems, when
we already have enough problems?Copy !req
66. Hey, don't be so mad.Copy !req
67. We came all the way to Odin, so we should
take all encounters as precious things.Copy !req
68. Don't you agree?Copy !req
69. Um... I guess.Copy !req
70. Humans cannot go
against their fate.Copy !req
71. Oh well, all of you...Copy !req
72. In any case, before anything else
happens, we should probably get going.Copy !req
73. That's fine, but it's no use
going back to Heinessen.Copy !req
74. What do we do, Julian?Copy !req
75. That's it.Copy !req
76. Since we don't know where Yang is,
we can't set the destination.Copy !req
77. Moreover, there's no problem
reaching Phezzan...Copy !req
78. but once we enter Alliance territory,
we'll have to avoid the Imperial Fleet.Copy !req
79. It's not like we can just
ask around to find Yang.Copy !req
80. I know what our
destination will be.Copy !req
81. I don't know where Admiral
Yang is at this moment...Copy !req
82. but the place he will
eventually go to is certain.Copy !req
83. Where is that?Copy !req
84. It's...Copy !req
85. The Free Planets Alliance Fleet
Chief of Staff, Trung Yu Chan...Copy !req
86. was acting in place of Chief
Commander Bucock due to his infirmities...Copy !req
87. preparing for the battle against
the Imperial Fleet at a fast pace.Copy !req
88. But he also had to fulfill
conflicting tasks at the same time.Copy !req
89. The ones he called in
that day were those people...Copy !req
90. who were indispensable
for that objective.Copy !req
91. Thanks for making the
long trip over here.Copy !req
92. Please have a seat.Copy !req
93. Vice Admiral MuraiCopy !req
94. With what intention did you summon
us from our respective assignments...Copy !req
95. Chief of Staff?Copy !req
96. I presume you all heard the decree
by Kaiser Reinhard the other day.Copy !req
97. We could say that the circumstances
he divulged are basically the truth.Copy !req
98. From that predicament, Fleet Admiral Yang
and others have escaped Heinessen...Copy !req
99. and are now
in hiding somewhere.Copy !req
100. So this is the
important task.Copy !req
101. I'd like you to find Admiral Yang
and give him this document.Copy !req
102. What is it?Copy !req
103. It's the transfer contract.Copy !req
104. Huh?Copy !req
105. As you can see.Copy !req
106. From our Space Fleet, we will give
5560 ships away to Mr. Yang Wenli.Copy !req
107. I'd like you to take along the merchandise,
too, in addition to the document.Copy !req
108. The legal procedures are all taken
care of, so there's no worry there.Copy !req
109. But is there any actual need
to prepare a document like this?Copy !req
110. It seems a little too
excessive for a formality.Copy !req
111. Don't you get it?Copy !req
112. Of course, it's a joke.Copy !req
113. I don't mind that
you say it's a joke...Copy !req
114. but at a time when we
must concentrate our forces...Copy !req
115. if you give away this
many ships and resources...Copy !req
116. doesn't it make it impossible for us to
withstand an attack from the Imperial Fleet?Copy !req
117. Even if we concentrate our forces,
we won't stand a chance.Copy !req
118. Rear Admiral Fyoodor PatorichevCopy !req
119. Even if you say so, you don't plan on giving up
the capital without a fight, do you, Admiral?Copy !req
120. Right, we don't
plan on doing that.Copy !req
121. Supreme Commander Bucock and I are
planning a little bit of useless resistance.Copy !req
122. But that's like
an act of suicide.Copy !req
123. In that case, why don't you and Supreme
Commander Bucock also come with us?Copy !req
124. Don't say such
a thoughtless thing.Copy !req
125. Besides, we haven't
decided to go, either.Copy !req
126. I'm planning to go.Copy !req
127. Vice Admiral Edwin FischerCopy !req
128. Will you please,
Admiral Fischer?Copy !req
129. With pleasure, Admiral.Copy !req
130. Vice Admiral Murai, we don't have
time to disguise our true intentions.Copy !req
131. Without wasting any more time,
let us take the best path.Copy !req
132. Did they accept?Copy !req
133. Yes. Along with Lt. Commander Soul,
I told them to start preparing for departure.Copy !req
134. I've been leaving you in
charge of just about everything.Copy !req
135. Thanks for the trouble.Copy !req
136. What're you saying?Copy !req
137. The Space Fleet is here
only because you're here.Copy !req
138. When we lost at Rantemario, I was in a predicament where I should have died.Copy !req
139. In the end, with your
persuasion, I lived on...Copy !req
140. but it seems all it meant was that my date
with death was postponed about half a year.Copy !req
141. In retrospect, it may have
been an act of impudence.Copy !req
142. I beg for your forgiveness.Copy !req
143. It's okay.Copy !req
144. Because of it, I was able to be
dutiful to my wife for a little while.Copy !req
145. What're you planning to do
about your wife and children?Copy !req
146. There's nothing
to worry about.Copy !req
147. I've asked Vice Admiral Murai and others
to take them along to where Yang is.Copy !req
148. I'm actually a little selfish,
so I care for my family.Copy !req
149. That's good.Copy !req
150. Yang Wenli has many shortcomings, but he has one virtue that no one can possibly criticize.Copy !req
151. That is, he honestly believes in the
principle that a democracy's military...Copy !req
152. exists solely for the purpose of
protecting the lives of its citizens...Copy !req
153. and he has acted upon that
principle on more than one occasion.Copy !req
154. Yes, you're exactly right.Copy !req
155. That was the
case at El Facil.Copy !req
156. It was also the case when he
abandoned Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
157. He never sacrificed even
one civilian life.Copy !req
158. History will remember Yang as a war
artist equal in rank to Kaiser Reinhard.Copy !req
159. But there's something more important than
that we have to teach to our posterity.Copy !req
160. Of course, that task isn't
something we have to assume.Copy !req
161. Each of us has different
tasks to undertake.Copy !req
162. Yes.Copy !req
163. But I wonder what tasks that virtue of
Yang's will force him to undertake...Copy !req
164. Yeah, I understand what
you're trying to say.Copy !req
165. If Yang were to ever be defeated, it wouldn't
be by the great genius of Kaiser Reinhard.Copy !req
166. It'll be by his adherence
to his own ideals.Copy !req
167. At the time of the
Battle of Vermilion...Copy !req
168. Yang should've ignored the
cease-fire order from the government.Copy !req
169. It's not something I should say, but for his
own sake, that's what he should've done.Copy !req
170. Yang and his party had since
left Supply Base Dayan-Han...Copy !req
171. and were wandering from place to place
while replenishing resources and personnel...Copy !req
172. Yang Irregulars Fleet Flagship - UlysessCopy !req
173. but that was nearing
its limit as well.Copy !req
174. Hey, we don't
have any money.Copy !req
175. Decide what we
should do from here.Copy !req
176. At the moment, we don't have
a magic lamp at hand.Copy !req
177. I thought so, so
I brought you a proposal.Copy !req
178. Through the connections of your
bad friend Boris Konev...Copy !req
179. I think it'd be a good idea to borrow
funds from former Phezzani merchants.Copy !req
180. If we borrow money,
we have to repay it...Copy !req
181. but right now, there's no way
to devise a plan to repay it.Copy !req
182. Well, once we borrow it,
it's all ours.Copy !req
183. But still...Copy !req
184. to loan money to a homeless private military
group like us isn't a very viable investment.Copy !req
185. I doubt clever Phezzani merchants
would go for something like that.Copy !req
186. No, if they're convinced of the possibility
that we'll defeat Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
187. they'll definitely invest in us
in preparation for the future.Copy !req
188. And so their initial investment isn't wasted, they'll have no choice but to continue investing.Copy !req
189. So the first investment will prime
the pump for further investment.Copy !req
190. I understand that...Copy !req
191. but do you think we can swindle the
Phezzani by just asserting the "possibility" ?Copy !req
192. The success of a badger game
depends on the beauty of the woman.Copy !req
193. Beauty of the woman?Copy !req
194. The beautiful woman with sex
appeal who charms the Phezzani...Copy !req
195. In other words,
Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
196. Exactly.Copy !req
197. For that purpose, too,
let's head to El Facil.Copy !req
198. At the same time, the government
emissary, Odets, and his party...Copy !req
199. who had gambled the fate of the Alliance
on their verbal skills, had reached Phezzan.Copy !req
200. But as Mittermeyer predicted...Copy !req
201. Kaiser Reinhard paid no attention to
them, and the meeting never materialized.Copy !req
202. Surely, if that succeeds, the
Imperial Fleet will split up...Copy !req
203. and in a best case scenario,
they'll go into a civil war...Copy !req
204. which means they'll have no room
for a military campaign against us.Copy !req
205. But is that
information reliable?Copy !req
206. That's an
irrelevant point.Copy !req
207. Whether it's a fact or not, the
important thing is to start the rumor.Copy !req
208. If that reaches the ears of the ruler,
doubts and distrust will creep in for sure.Copy !req
209. Rulers are continuously sensing the
potential treason of their subordinates.Copy !req
210. And especially because the Lohengramm
Dynasty was established only recently...Copy !req
211. Former Autonomous Territory LeaderCopy !req
212. Adrian RubinskyCopy !req
213. and its foundation
is still very fragile...Copy !req
214. the chance of catching it in an
unguarded moment is fairly good.Copy !req
215. Well... I see.Copy !req
216. The key is how much credibility
you can add to the rumor.Copy !req
217. I heard you come from a news
broadcaster background.Copy !req
218. I presume the manipulation of
public opinion is your expertise?Copy !req
219. Okay then.Copy !req
220. There's nothing I'll
lose from trying this.Copy !req
221. New Imperial Capital Construction SiteCopy !req
222. Did you see that?Copy !req
223. The construction
is going rapidly...Copy !req
224. and our Phezzan is being painted
over in Imperial colors daily.Copy !req
225. They absorb us, and digest us. We'll be
excreted in the next phase, I suppose.Copy !req
226. The brain of the civilized people
lost to the brawn of the barbarians.Copy !req
227. So much for the brain that can't
even foresee the force coming.Copy !req
228. What?Copy !req
229. What, are you
picking a fight?Copy !req
230. Hey, cut it out!Copy !req
231. It's no use fighting
amongst ourselves.Copy !req
232. All this is because we see the
Imperials everywhere, right and left.Copy !req
233. It's hard not to get
pissed off like this.Copy !req
234. But in just one year,
everything's changed so much!Copy !req
235. Yeah, but we should acknowledge the Kaiser's
superior conceptual and executive power.Copy !req
236. We lost.Copy !req
237. Upon acknowledging that fact,
let's move on in a positive direction.Copy !req
238. What're you proposing to do?Copy !req
239. From the get-go,
the strength of the Phezzani...Copy !req
240. was to make the most
profit in a given situation.Copy !req
241. In that regard,
this is a big opportunity.Copy !req
242. Yeah, the previously established rights
of the big merchants were lost...Copy !req
243. and now everyone's gotten
on the same start line.Copy !req
244. Moreover, because of the military
campaign against the Alliance...Copy !req
245. there's a procurement order for military
resources in the newly constructed capital.Copy !req
246. This is a great opportunity
for acquiring a big fortune!Copy !req
247. You say that, but...Copy !req
248. We can't be
that unwavering.Copy !req
249. On December 2nd...Copy !req
250. the first engagement of the campaign
was launched by the Mittermeyer Fleet.Copy !req
251. Planet LosianaCopy !req
252. In the arms-manufacturing factory on
Planet Losiana, cruisers and destroyers...Copy !req
253. which aren't restricted by the Baalat
Treaty, were being constructed...Copy !req
254. but more importantly...Copy !req
255. its productivity and geographical
location couldn't be ignored strategically.Copy !req
256. Admiral, the enemy will reach
satellite orbit shortly!Copy !req
257. I know.Copy !req
258. Engineering Vice Admiral BaunsgaardCopy !req
259. Launch all ships that
are capable of navigation.Copy !req
260. With as many crewmen as you
can load on them, of course.Copy !req
261. Commodore DeschCopy !req
262. Admiral...Copy !req
263. Listen, you take charge and evacuate
from this sector immediately.Copy !req
264. And join Admiral Yang Wenli
and work under his command.Copy !req
265. Fleet Headquarters have
given permission, too.Copy !req
266. This is my last order.Copy !req
267. Then, Admiral, you'll...?Copy !req
268. I'll stay here and attempt as much
resistance as I can to buy us some time.Copy !req
269. Evacuate in the meantime.Copy !req
270. Okay?Copy !req
271. Admiral...Copy !req
272. Go.Copy !req
273. We don't have much time.Copy !req
274. All anti-air batteries, prepare to fire!
Don't let any enemy ships get away!Copy !req
275. The Alliance forces put
up fierce resistance.Copy !req
276. Engineering Vice Admiral Baunsgaard and
others who remained, all died in the battle.Copy !req
277. The evacuated ships, too, endured
pursuit from the Imperial Fleet...Copy !req
278. and suffered many casualties, though
about half were able to escape.Copy !req
279. And while gathering
personnel and resources...Copy !req
280. they sailed for El Facil,
to join Yang's Irregulars Fleet.Copy !req
281. Planet El FacilCopy !req
282. As such, everyone thought it was an
inevitable outcome for Yang to go to El Facil.Copy !req
283. But the Yang Irregulars didn't actually arrive in the El Facil starzone untill December 9th.Copy !req
284. In actuality, it didn't suit
Yang's true intentions...Copy !req
285. for him to join forces with the El Facil
Independent Revolutionary Government.Copy !req
286. To stand up in outburst without
any realistic hope of success...Copy !req
287. and with only passion and little else
seemed, to Yang, like an act of recklessness.Copy !req
288. But as a realistic solution, as a first
step to muster anti-Imperial powers...Copy !req
289. and as a foothold for the seizure of
Iserlohn Fortress, he needed a headquarters.Copy !req
290. It's been a long time.Copy !req
291. I hope you remember me.Copy !req
292. Um, well...Copy !req
293. El Facil Revolutionary Autonomous Government ChairmanCopy !req
294. Francesk RomskyCopy !req
295. Eleven years ago,
when you were Lt. Jg. Yang...Copy !req
296. and rescued civilians from this
planet, I lent you some support.Copy !req
297. Um, thank you for that...Copy !req
298. I'm sorry, but
aren't you Dr. Romsky?Copy !req
299. Yes, but...Copy !req
300. Oh, you must
be Mrs. Yang!Copy !req
301. And perhaps you are...Copy !req
302. Yes, I was on this
planet at that time, too.Copy !req
303. My mother was ill, and we paid
visits to your office a few times.Copy !req
304. I remember it well!Copy !req
305. I see, that girl
from back then...Copy !req
306. I see.Copy !req
307. He doesn't seem to be
a bad person, but...Copy !req
308. Please, this way...Copy !req
309. Oh, well!Copy !req
310. This is what I hate!Copy !req
311. The brass of the
Revolutionary Government...Copy !req
312. would surely love to take
advantage of your fame, of course.Copy !req
313. You have no choice.Copy !req
314. Besides, from the standpoint
of the ideals of a democracy...Copy !req
315. the public disclosure of information
is the most important principle.Copy !req
316. If you like secrecy and lack of disclosure,
you should join an autocratic government.Copy !req
317. At this point, you'll be better off being
cheerful and waving to the cameras.Copy !req
318. The fact that Fleet Admiral Yang came
to this land is indisputable proof...Copy !req
319. that our El Facil
Revolutionary Government...Copy !req
320. is the rightful successor
of republican democracy.Copy !req
321. Once upon a time, Fleet Admiral Yang's
miracle legends started here on El Facil.Copy !req
322. And from this El Facil, a new
legend will be born once again.Copy !req
323. Now, I would like to formally
introduce him to you:Copy !req
324. Miracle Yang, Magician Yang,
Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli!Copy !req
325. I'm Yang Wenli.Copy !req
326. Pleased to meet you all.Copy !req
327. Admiral, don't you think we need
a name for our new government?Copy !req
328. Yes, of course.Copy !req
329. So I'd like to announce it
maybe as early as tomorrow...Copy !req
330. but what do you think about "Free
Planets Alliance Legitimate Government" ?Copy !req
331. Um...Copy !req
332. You didn't like it?Copy !req
333. No, I didn't
mean it like that.Copy !req
334. But maybe we shouldn't need to fixate
on the legitimacy of a political body.Copy !req
335. I think we should emphasize
that we're starting from scratch.Copy !req
336. I agree.Copy !req
337. Besides, the name "Legitimate
Government" is kind of bad luck.Copy !req
338. There's the bad example of "Galactic
Reich Legitimate Government" recently.Copy !req
339. Certainly, it's a bad omen.Copy !req
340. Let's think
of another name.Copy !req
341. Please don't get fed up
with small things like this.Copy !req
342. You'll surely be facing much higher
mountains to climb in the future, so...Copy !req
343. I know.Copy !req
344. In this way, the Yang Irregulars became
the El Facil Revolutionary Reserve Force.Copy !req
345. Supreme Commander-in-Chief,
Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli.Copy !req
346. Chief of Staff, High Admiral
Willibalt Joachim von Merkatz.Copy !req
