2. OF THECopy !req
3. Charge!Copy !req
4. We've penetrated
the enemy lines!Copy !req
5. On January 16th, Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
6. the Imperial Fleet was in the midst
of an unexpectedly difficult battle.Copy !req
7. Intercept them!Copy !req
8. The enemy fleet is small.Copy !req
9. Concentrate our artillery fire
and destroy them one by one.Copy !req
10. The enemy fleet that we just penetrated
is approaching us from behind!Copy !req
11. From below, too!Copy !req
12. Friendly fleets are too close.Copy !req
13. Tone down the
artillery fire.Copy !req
14. The advancement of Carlsen's fleet
appears to have been halted.Copy !req
15. This isn't good.Copy !req
16. I don't know if I can
say it's fortunate...Copy !req
17. but the enemy fleets have toned down
their firepower to avoid friendly fire...Copy !req
18. so they can probably
hold out for a bit longer.Copy !req
19. But as it is...Copy !req
20. Our hope depends on...Copy !req
21. Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2,
16 January, 21:18Copy !req
22. An enemy fleet has
emerged to our rear!Copy !req
23. Their number is
approximately 15,000 ships!Copy !req
24. What?Copy !req
25. Eisenach Fleet Flagship - VissarrCopy !req
26. That's the right wing unit
of the Imperial Fleet.Copy !req
27. It seems they made a long flanking
movement clockwise to get behind our fleet.Copy !req
28. We have no choice but
to just persevere here.Copy !req
29. Reinforce our aft defense and
draw them in as much as we can.Copy !req
30. Lt. Commander GriessCopy !req
31. Yes, sir.Copy !req
32. All ships,
maintain distance.Copy !req
33. Fixed Star Marr-AdettaCopy !req
34. 22:00Copy !req
35. The energy wind
is blowing at us!Copy !req
36. Now's our chance!Copy !req
37. All ships, take
a conic formation!Copy !req
38. Aiming for the gaps in the enemy
defensive formation, charge in!Copy !req
39. No!Copy !req
40. They're about
to break through!Copy !req
41. Go!Copy !req
42. Intercept!Copy !req
43. That old man...
He's good.Copy !req
44. All ships, at full speed,
attack the enemy flank!Copy !req
45. Hurry!Copy !req
46. Main cannons,
fire three times!Copy !req
47. Charge in!Copy !req
48. The enemy fleet has
thrust in from the side.Copy !req
49. At this rate, our fleet
will be split in two!Copy !req
50. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
51. Our only target is the enemy
supreme flagship, Brunhild.Copy !req
52. Keep your course and
move straight ahead!Copy !req
53. Commodore Siegbert SeidlitzCopy !req
54. Brunhild CaptainCopy !req
55. Your Majesty, artillery fire is
coming into range of our ship.Copy !req
56. I request your
permission to move back.Copy !req
57. As the Captain sees fit.Copy !req
58. But there's no need
to move back too far.Copy !req
59. The enemy's offense has
probably reached its limit.Copy !req
60. Yes, sir.Copy !req
61. But still, even considering they
had a geographical advantage...Copy !req
62. I didn't expect this chaotic of a battle,
given our enormous size advantage.Copy !req
63. Admiral, our fleet line
has extended so much that...Copy !req
64. at this rate, we'll be isolated inside the
enemy lines, merely waiting to be annihilated.Copy !req
65. Here, for the time being, we
should contract the battle-front.Copy !req
66. We won't reach the Kaiser even if we
continue to move forward, will we?Copy !req
67. Regrettably not.Copy !req
68. 22:50Copy !req
69. Now, concentrate artillery fire on
the front guard of the enemy fleet!Copy !req
70. Chief Staff Officer!Copy !req
71. I'm okay.Copy !req
72. More importantly, hurry and...Copy !req
73. Yes!Copy !req
74. The enemy is crumbling!Copy !req
75. We've detected the presence of a
large number of ships to the rear.Copy !req
76. They're closing in
on us at high speed!Copy !req
77. What? Is it a
detached enemy fleet?Copy !req
78. No!Copy !req
79. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
80. It's the Black Lancers!Copy !req
81. The Black Lancers
have arrived!Copy !req
82. I see.Copy !req
83. That Bittenfeld... it seems
he's really rushed to get here.Copy !req
84. We made it in time!Copy !req
85. As for the leftover opposition, we'll destroy
them all and won't let even one get away!Copy !req
86. Charge in!Copy !req
87. Fahrenheit Fleet Unit CommanderCopy !req
88. Vice Admiral HofmeisterCopy !req
89. He's joining the battle this late and
boasting of his personal glory?Copy !req
90. All of you,
don't rush in recklessly.Copy !req
91. The enemy admiral is
old and full of guile.Copy !req
92. He might have a scheme
that we can't even imagine.Copy !req
93. No, they're fine
as they are.Copy !req
94. If Bittenfeld exercised
too much prudence...Copy !req
95. that would take away the
strength of the Black Lancers.Copy !req
96. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
97. Dashing forward like a wild
boar is our true strength!Copy !req
98. Regardless of what scheme or trickery the
enemy has, we'll crush them with our power!Copy !req
99. Admiral... our missiles and
energy have all run out.Copy !req
100. At this point...Copy !req
101. I couldn't go to
the military academy.Copy !req
102. It's almost like I've fought
every battle merely for my pride...Copy !req
103. to show the elitists in
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Copy !req
104. If it weren't for
an era like this...Copy !req
105. I would never have moved up the
ladder to become a fleet commander.Copy !req
106. Despite that, I was able to battle hard
enough to come this close to the Kaiser.Copy !req
107. I've done as
much as I could.Copy !req
108. 23:10Copy !req
109. The battleship Diomedes
has been sunk.Copy !req
110. Admiral Ralph Carlsen...
died in battle.Copy !req
111. About 80% of our fleet
has already been lost...Copy !req
112. and organized resistance has
become increasingly difficult to mount.Copy !req
113. I suppose this is
the end of it.Copy !req
114. It's useless for us
all to die here.Copy !req
115. I'll grant all ships my permission
to withdraw from the battlefront.Copy !req
116. Captain.Copy !req
117. Yes, sir.Copy !req
118. I'm sorry, but in order to let as
many ships as possible escape...Copy !req
119. this ship will have
to assume the rear guard.Copy !req
120. Rio Grande CaptainCopy !req
121. Commander EmersonCopy !req
122. I know.Copy !req
123. Being the captain of the flagship, I'll
follow the Chief Commander to the end.Copy !req
124. Good.Copy !req
125. Most of those will likely
head to join Admiral Yang.Copy !req
126. Come to think of it, I wonder if the souvenir
that I left in Lt. Commander Soul's custody...Copy !req
127. has been delivered
to Yang yet.Copy !req
128. If things have gone according to plan,
it should have been by now.Copy !req
129. Right.Copy !req
130. What are they doing?Copy !req
131. I imagine they think this task
is too much for this ship alone.Copy !req
132. Idiots.Copy !req
133. They're unwavering. It's like the
embodiment of that old man's spirit.Copy !req
134. Your Majesty, I wonder if you might wish
to urge them to surrender at this time.Copy !req
135. That's useless.Copy !req
136. That old man will only
laugh at my hesitation.Copy !req
137. Besides, why should I, the
victor, pander to the loser?Copy !req
138. I once again ask
for your consideration.Copy !req
139. Extending a hand to the losing side is a
manifestation of the victor's greatness.Copy !req
140. If the losing side rejects it, then
the losing side is narrow-minded.Copy !req
141. Then instead of doing it myself, I will let
Mittermeyer make the offer as my agent.Copy !req
142. 23:30Copy !req
143. Attention, opposition admiral.Copy !req
144. Attention, opposition admiral.Copy !req
145. You are completely encircled by our fleet, and
your withdrawal route has been sealed off.Copy !req
146. Any further
combat is useless.Copy !req
147. I urge you to shut down your
ship's engines and surrender.Copy !req
148. Kaiser Reinhard acknowledges your
admirable effort in this battle...Copy !req
149. and will reward you
with magnanimous treatment.Copy !req
150. I urge you once
again, to surrender.Copy !req
151. As you said, I don't think
they'll surrender at this point.Copy !req
152. There's a response
from the enemy ship.Copy !req
153. The enemy commander is requesting
communications with the Kaiser.Copy !req
154. Very well.Copy !req
155. Connect the communication channel
with the supreme flagship, Brunhild.Copy !req
156. Your Majesty,
Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
157. please believe I have a great admiration
for your talents and greatness.Copy !req
158. And if I were to have a grandson,
I would like to have someone like you.Copy !req
159. But I cannot be your subordinate.Copy !req
160. Yang Wenli, also; he could become
your friend, but not your subordinate.Copy !req
161. Though it's someone else's business,
I can just about guarantee it.Copy !req
162. That is to say, if I'm allowed to
say important-sounding things...Copy !req
163. democracy is the philosophy of
making friends on equal terms...Copy !req
164. not of creating
master-servant relationships.Copy !req
165. I want to have good friends, and I want
to be a good friend to other people.Copy !req
166. But I don't want a good master
or to be a good servant.Copy !req
167. That's precisely the reason I have not
been able to uphold the same flag as you.Copy !req
168. Although I appreciate your kindness, I doubt
you have any need for an old man like myself.Copy !req
169. A toast to democracy.Copy !req
170. How can a stranger possibly
understand anything...?Copy !req
171. The ships that stayed till the end
have all met an honorable death...Copy !req
172. and at this point,
there is no resistance.Copy !req
173. Notify all fleets.Copy !req
174. We will reorganize
the fleet formation...Copy !req
175. and once again begin marching
toward Starzone Barlat.Copy !req
176. When we pass the battlefield...Copy !req
177. all officers and soldiers must stand up
and render a salute to the enemy admiral.Copy !req
178. Fleet Admiral Reuental.Copy !req
179. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
180. It seems that in
some near future...Copy !req
181. I will face another enemy
admiral in this format once again.Copy !req
182. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
183. 23:45Copy !req
184. Because Your Majesty
allows me to serve you...Copy !req
185. I have been able to visit such faraway places
and have so many different experiences.Copy !req
186. When I go home,
I can boast about them.Copy !req
187. Judging from the way you phrase it,
it sounds as though you are getting homesick.Copy !req
188. If you want, you can have a
vacation and go home for a while.Copy !req
189. No, that was
not what I meant.Copy !req
190. I will follow wherever
Your Majesty goes.Copy !req
191. Even to another galaxy.Copy !req
192. You have larger
ambitions than I do.Copy !req
193. For me, this galaxy
is plenty enough.Copy !req
194. As for the other galaxies,
you can conquer them.Copy !req
195. It was only three hours later that
the fall of Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
196. was reported to the Imperial Fleet,
which had been excited over its victory.Copy !req
197. That man did it again...Copy !req
198. What's wrong
with all of you?Copy !req
199. It is certainly our loss that Yang
Wenli recaptured Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
200. but that's only a
defeat in one locality.Copy !req
201. We won at Marr-Adetta...Copy !req
202. and our advantage in the entirety of the
battle situation has hardly slipped away.Copy !req
203. That's not quite right.Copy !req
204. Depending on whether or not
we have Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
205. the strategic factors
differ immensely.Copy !req
206. Aiming for that, the Alliance would draw
us in at Marr-Adetta with its main fleets...Copy !req
207. and in the meantime, Yang Wenli would
capture Iserlohn Fortress with another fleet.Copy !req
208. I'm afraid we may have fallen
for a coordinated plan of theirs.Copy !req
209. What?Copy !req
210. That would be a
groundless concern.Copy !req
211. This is merely a coincidence resulting
from two independent, individual plans.Copy !req
212. If it were meant to
be a coordinated plan...Copy !req
213. Fleet Admiral Bucock would have assumed
the role of capturing Fortress Iserlohn...Copy !req
214. and Yang Wenli himself would
have come to battle His Majesty.Copy !req
215. That's because, for the
capture of Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
216. people other than Yang could
execute it if given the tactics.Copy !req
217. But to confront
Your Majesty...Copy !req
218. no one other than Yang Wenli
would stand even a 1 in 10,000 chance.Copy !req
219. And in fact, Fleet Admiral Bucock has died in battle.Copy !req
220. This is an unbearable
loss for Yang.Copy !req
221. Because it doesn't
suit his personality...Copy !req
222. to secure his own victory
by sacrificing someone else.Copy !req
223. Also, if publicized, he would risk
losing people's respect for him...Copy !req
224. and I doubt he would
make such thoughtless plans.Copy !req
225. I see.Copy !req
226. You're probably right.Copy !req
227. Lutz, I will notify you
of your punishment later.Copy !req
228. For the time being, you'll
be on administrative leave.Copy !req
229. Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
230. regrettably, your accomplishment had
a life expectancy of less than one year.Copy !req
231. It's unfortunate.Copy !req
232. The feelings of Reuental, who only gave
a brief response, were complicated.Copy !req
233. Although Lutz is the one who
actually fell for Yang's scheme...Copy !req
234. the fact that he did not discover Yang's
trick means he too shares responsibility.Copy !req
235. And to Kaiser Reinhard, too...Copy !req
236. it meant he might have underestimated the
strategic importance of Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
237. In the end, who actually
was outwitted by Yang?Copy !req
238. Once again, a new name has been added to the list of people who fell for Yang Wenli's trickery.Copy !req
239. Lutz has always been
a premier commander...Copy !req
240. possessing both composure and
sound judgment, but still...Copy !req
241. I suspected he might have
some sort of a plan...Copy !req
242. but I didn't realize he had precisely foreseen
the situation several years into the future.Copy !req
243. The whole name of the Galactic Empire is
beginning to serve as a foil for Yang Wenli.Copy !req
244. We have no fear of an expedition
of 100,000 light years...Copy !req
245. but we fear the
name of Yang Wenli.Copy !req
246. That's what it seems.Copy !req
247. If he had a force of the
same size as ours...Copy !req
248. the goddess of fate may have
pandered to him instead of us.Copy !req
249. If Siegfried Kircheis were alive...Copy !req
250. Huh?Copy !req
251. we might have never lost Iserlohn
Fortress once again like this.Copy !req
252. That's right.Copy !req
253. If Kircheis were alive...Copy !req
254. that Oberstein would never have tyrannized
the military as triumphantly as he does now.Copy !req
255. If Kircheis were alive...Copy !req
256. 17 JanuaryCopy !req
257. In any case...Copy !req
258. in order to prevent Yang Wenli's militaristic
magic from coordinating with political power...Copy !req
259. we need to seize Heinessen
as soon as possible.Copy !req
260. We will mobilize our fleets
toward Starzone Barlat right away.Copy !req
261. Your Majesty, there
is no need to hurry.Copy !req
262. If we approach
Heinessen with dignity...Copy !req
263. that pressure alone will
topple the Alliance government.Copy !req
264. You think of the Alliance
government as an eggshell, Fraulein?Copy !req
265. Yes.Copy !req
266. Inside that egg,
there will be a storm.Copy !req
267. Most likely, they will
crumble from internal strife.Copy !req
268. There is no need to dirty
Your Majesty's hands.Copy !req
269. Order all fleets to resume
course without hurrying...Copy !req
270. and with dignity,
as you suggest.Copy !req
271. On January 17th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
272. the Imperial Fleet, which had
won the Battle of Marr-Adetta...Copy !req
273. resumed its
course for Heinessen.Copy !req
