5. On May 1st of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
6. an urgent message was delivered to the main Imperial Fleet enroute to Iserlohn Corridor.Copy !req
7. Your Majesty, I am
sorry to disturb you.Copy !req
8. Chief Staff of IntelligenceCopy !req
9. Vice Admiral FuseneggerCopy !req
10. But according to
reports we've just received...Copy !req
11. the advance fleets of Admirals
Bittenfeld and Fahrenheit...Copy !req
12. are already in the midst of
fierce combat with the opposition.Copy !req
13. Why did they open fire
without waiting for my arrival?Copy !req
14. Do Bittenfeld and Fahrenheit...Copy !req
15. mean to undermine my tactics by
thoughtlessly striving for their own glory?Copy !req
16. Most likely, Yang Wenli did something to lure Bittenfeld into combat...Copy !req
17. to divide up our fleet's
war capability, but still...Copy !req
18. Although Kaiser Reinhard hastened
his fleet's march toward Iserlohn...Copy !req
19. by this time, the Black Lancers and the
Fahrenheit Fleet had already been defeated...Copy !req
20. and had retreated from the Corridor
after suffering considerable losses.Copy !req
21. Yang Wenli also pulled his
fleet back to Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
22. The loss count of
combat aircraft is 86 planes.Copy !req
23. Corporal Katerose von Kreuzer, having
shot down one plane, has returned safely.Copy !req
24. Cheers to the tomboy girl.Copy !req
25. On May 2nd, the defeated fleets finally
joined Kaiser Reinhard's main fleet.Copy !req
26. The Black Lancers suffered the loss of
6,220 ships from among its 15,900 ships...Copy !req
27. as well as 695,700 casualties
from among its 1,908,000 soldiers.Copy !req
28. Also, the Fahrenheit Fleet suffered the loss
of 8,490 ships from among its 15,200 ships...Copy !req
29. as well as 1,095,400 casualties
from among its 1,857,600 soldiers.Copy !req
30. And above all...Copy !req
31. a High Admiral of the Lohengramm Dynasty
camp died in battle for the first time.Copy !req
32. Fahrenheit is dead...Copy !req
33. Bittenfeld.Copy !req
34. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
35. It was a mistake befitting
your personality.Copy !req
36. You knew about the trap, attempted to bite
through it regardless, and then failed to do so.Copy !req
37. Thousands died, but that
did not raise you to fame.Copy !req
38. I let a comrade die, and lost many
of Your Majesty's soldiers as well.Copy !req
39. I will hold no grudge...Copy !req
40. regardless of what punishment you will
give to my incompetent and talentless self.Copy !req
41. I'm not reproaching you.Copy !req
42. It's still better than committing a
mistake that is unlike your character.Copy !req
43. At this point, think about making up for the loss with the work that you're capable of doing.Copy !req
44. That's what Fleet Admiral
Fahrenheit wishes for, too.Copy !req
45. I, too, will enter into battle with Yang Wenli with
unparalleled determination never before seen.Copy !req
46. Lend me all of
your capabilities.Copy !req
47. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
48. "Victory or death," Mein Kaiser?Copy !req
49. No, it's not
"victory or death."Copy !req
50. It's "victory or a
more complete victory."Copy !req
51. In Kaiser Reinhard's name, the Supreme
Headquarters of the Imperial Force...Copy !req
52. announced the death of High
Admiral Adelbert von Fahrenheit...Copy !req
53. and his promotion
to Fleet Admiral.Copy !req
54. That news reached the Yang Fleet.Copy !req
55. Upon hearing this, Merkatz went into mourning, excusing himself from the strategic meeting...Copy !req
56. and Schneider, who attended in his place,
too, sat in with a mourning badge on his chest.Copy !req
57. It's a sure fact that a woman in
a mourning dress looks beautiful.Copy !req
58. I've just returned.Copy !req
59. Thanks for the work.Copy !req
60. How did it go?Copy !req
61. As planned, I closed the entrance to
the Corridor with 5,000,000 mines.Copy !req
62. You must be tired from
working overnight without rest.Copy !req
63. Why don't you get some
sleep in a tank-bed?Copy !req
64. No, I'm fine.Copy !req
65. I'm still young.Copy !req
66. He doesn't get stingy with his
efforts when preparing for a brawl.Copy !req
67. Hey!Copy !req
68. We won the initial battle.Copy !req
69. But will this affect the basic strategy
of the Imperial Force in any way?Copy !req
70. No, there probably
won't be any effect.Copy !req
71. This is different from
Amlitzer or Vermilion.Copy !req
72. Because I'm shamelessly
hiding in a hole...Copy !req
73. not even the Kaiser can select the
battlefield the way he likes to.Copy !req
74. A large force and large war potential
are indispensable elements...Copy !req
75. in holding a
strategic advantage.Copy !req
76. But at the tactical level,
that's not always the case.Copy !req
77. Especially depending on the
geography of the battlefield...Copy !req
78. it can become a factor
contributing to defeat.Copy !req
79. And this is the Iserlohn
Corridor, no less.Copy !req
80. We must think hard how to
deploy our forces efficiently.Copy !req
81. The opposition has set up mines to
seal off the entrance to the Corridor.Copy !req
82. What do they intend to do?Copy !req
83. Originally, Yang's tactical plan was to defeat
us by luring us into the Corridor, wasn't it?Copy !req
84. High Admiral Karl Robert SteinmetzCopy !req
85. They might be buying
time while they rest.Copy !req
86. The opposition must fight
with all their forces.Copy !req
87. And it's not like they can
continuously fight without any rest.Copy !req
88. Then we should launch attacks
without giving them a chance to rest!Copy !req
89. This minefield isn't
even a roadblock!Copy !req
90. That's what we have
Zephyr Particles for, isn't it?Copy !req
91. Just as we did at the Battle of Amlitzer, we can just make paths in the minefield with them!Copy !req
92. The situation is different
from that of Amlitzer.Copy !req
93. Now that the already-narrow
Iserlohn Corridor has been sealed off...Copy !req
94. it's unmistakable that the liberty of our
movements are further restricted.Copy !req
95. That's all the more reason we
should put holes in the seal.Copy !req
96. Suppose we put holes in the
minefield with Zephyr Particles.Copy !req
97. The Yang Fleet will wait and
concentrate fire on us there.Copy !req
98. We'll be sniped at just as
we get through the hole...Copy !req
99. and be decimated, without
a means to counterattack.Copy !req
100. But there's no need to turn
down the entirety of that idea.Copy !req
101. After deliberation, Reuental devised a
plan himself and proposed it to the Kaiser.Copy !req
102. I accept your plan.Copy !req
103. Once we enter the Corridor...Copy !req
104. our war potential is 7 or 8 times
greater than the opposition's.Copy !req
105. That's plenty enough to
subdue Yang Wenli's party.Copy !req
106. With Your Majesty's approval,
I would like to put the plan into effect.Copy !req
107. If you find any points for
improvement, I will make corrections.Copy !req
108. No, this is fine.Copy !req
109. If we cannot obtain victory even with your plan,
I will then come up with another plan.Copy !req
110. Thanks for the good work.Copy !req
111. I didn't cut corners, Mittermeyer.Copy !req
112. It's funny.Copy !req
113. I myself don't know whether I actually
wish for the Kaiser's final victory, or not.Copy !req
114. I don't think there is anything
that needs to be corrected.Copy !req
115. I'm flattered that the "Gale Wolf"
has given me a passing grade.Copy !req
116. It seems I can at least serve as a
rank-and-file staff officer of the Space Fleet.Copy !req
117. No, you can't.Copy !req
118. You can't serve
as my staff officer.Copy !req
119. Unlike the Kaiser, I get jealous
of talented subordinates.Copy !req
120. The "Gale Wolf" is humble.Copy !req
121. In the entirety of this universe, the only
tacticians who can possibly defeat me...Copy !req
122. are Mein Kaiser, Yang Wenli,
Merkatz and you.Copy !req
123. I'm fortunate that I don't have
to fight against two of those.Copy !req
124. Borrowing your idea, the majority of the five
leading tacticians of this era are in our camp.Copy !req
125. If we all strive for our common goal,
our victory is all but assured.Copy !req
126. Let's cut it out, Reuental.Copy !req
127. Why must we have such an
uncomfortable conversation?Copy !req
128. I don't get it.Copy !req
129. Until very recently,
there was no need for it.Copy !req
130. Yes, you're absolutely right.Copy !req
131. I'd rather have a good
drink and a merry evening.Copy !req
132. How about it?Copy !req
133. It doesn't even compare with the 410 vintage,
but I have the white wine of 446 vintage.Copy !req
134. 03 May - 6:30Copy !req
135. On the next day,
May 3rd at 6:30...Copy !req
136. the Imperial Fleet...Copy !req
137. began invading the Iserlohn Corridor under
Kaiser Reinhard's direct command.Copy !req
138. The advance guard of the
Imperial Fleet that moved forward...Copy !req
139. while cleaning up the mines with
mine-sweepers was led by Rolf Otto Brauhitz.Copy !req
140. Brauhitz Fleet Flagship - SindurCopy !req
141. Admiral Rolf Otto BrauhitzCopy !req
142. With almost half a day of work, a
path was cleared through the minefield.Copy !req
143. 21:00Copy !req
144. At 21:00 of the same day, the Brauhitz Fleet,
which had successfully entered the Corridor...Copy !req
145. fired the first shot at the
Yang Fleet that was waiting for them.Copy !req
146. Fire!Copy !req
147. Don't panic!Copy !req
148. Split up into small
units of 100 ships...Copy !req
149. then disperse and avoid the
concentration of enemy fire!Copy !req
150. Don't move backward,
you'll hit the mines!Copy !req
151. Admiral...!Copy !req
152. Vice Admiral TalheimCopy !req
153. Persevere!Copy !req
154. This is part of the plan!Copy !req
155. 04 May - 2:20Copy !req
156. We'll enter the second phase.Copy !req
157. Bring forward the
directional Zephyr Particles.Copy !req
158. Zephyr Particle GeneratorCopy !req
159. Ignite!Copy !req
160. Five places at
the same time?Copy !req
161. For the Yang Fleet, which already
numbered fewer than 20,000 ships...Copy !req
162. it was impossible to stop simultaneous
encroachment from five different locations.Copy !req
163. Because of the
entrance's narrowness...Copy !req
164. the difference in
numbers was slow to show...Copy !req
165. but the difference between the recovery
speed against attrition was certainly obvious.Copy !req
166. Moreover, those five
spots were all feint moves.Copy !req
167. After about two hours of fierce
fighting the Empire's main fleet...Copy !req
168. succeeded in entering the Corridor through the route that Brauhitz had opened up...Copy !req
169. and secured a bridgehead in the area.Copy !req
170. 12:00Copy !req
171. The vessel has been confirmed.Copy !req
172. It's the enemy
flagship, Brunhild!Copy !req
173. The Kaiser has arrived!Copy !req
174. Are we ready to
give him the bouquet?Copy !req
175. Yes, sir!Copy !req
176. Fire!Copy !req
177. I guess it was too much.Copy !req
178. Set up our position again!Copy !req
179. Our guests must be in
more confusion than we are.Copy !req
180. Let's take the upper hand!Copy !req
181. You're in the
presence of the Kaiser.Copy !req
182. Don't show yourselves
in clumsy disorder!Copy !req
183. Reposition the battle lines!Copy !req
184. All right!Copy !req
185. The left wing, move backward!Copy !req
186. The center and right wing, advance!Copy !req
187. Mittermeyer's intention was to lure the enemy
vanguard by withdrawing the left wing...Copy !req
188. and flank the opposition from the
left by moving the center wing...Copy !req
189. and right wing
forward counter-clockwise.Copy !req
190. If this had succeeded...Copy !req
191. it would've been an extraordinary execution
that only the "Gale Wolf" could pull off.Copy !req
192. But in this instance, the coordination
among the units did not go well.Copy !req
193. That is because communication among the
units was not sufficiently established...Copy !req
194. and also because there was not enough
space for the large fleets to move freely.Copy !req
195. Now!Copy !req
196. Damn!Copy !req
197. It seems while I was on a pedestal as Fleet
Admiral or Chief Commander of Space Fleet...Copy !req
198. I've gotten rusty
at battle commands.Copy !req
199. How silly that I came up with a
plan that my fleets cannot follow.Copy !req
200. Your Majesty.Copy !req
201. 20:15Copy !req
202. Mittermeyer moved from the Supreme Flagship Brunhild to his own flagship, Beiowolf...Copy !req
203. to put himself in the
midst of the front line.Copy !req
204. It's the Gale Wolf!Copy !req
205. The Gale Wolf has
come to the front line!Copy !req
206. Mittermeyer Fleet Flagship - BeiowolfCopy !req
207. The Gale Wolf!Copy !req
208. Bayerlein, go!Copy !req
209. Yes, sir!Copy !req
210. An enemy unit of
about 6,000 ships...Copy !req
211. is detaching from their main fleet
and is moving in toward our side.Copy !req
212. They're probably trying
to half-envelop us.Copy !req
213. How large is
Attenborough's unit?Copy !req
214. They're between
4,600 and 4,700 ships.Copy !req
215. If they go head-to-head,
we'll lose by shear numbers.Copy !req
216. All right, let's show them
our best weapon again.Copy !req
217. Captain RaoCopy !req
218. You mean one-point
concentration artillery attack?Copy !req
219. That's not it.Copy !req
220. Huh?Copy !req
221. It's the "pretense
of running away."Copy !req
222. Bayerlein Fleet Flagship - NurnbergCopy !req
223. Vice Admiral KohlerCopy !req
224. This seems like a trap.Copy !req
225. They must be luring us between them
and their main fleet to pincer-attack us.Copy !req
226. Even if that's the case, if we withdraw,
the battle situation won't change.Copy !req
227. Admiral Karl Edward BayerleinCopy !req
228. We should
pursue them now.Copy !req
229. But...!Copy !req
230. Don't worry.Copy !req
231. If we actually do fall into their trap, the
Chief Commander will come up with a plan.Copy !req
232. Keep firing both missiles and
beams, even if we deplete them!Copy !req
233. Fire the long-range cannons.Copy !req
234. Don't let the Mittermeyer
Fleet come near us.Copy !req
235. Vanguard units, move towards
the 10 o'clock direction!Copy !req
236. No, at this rate,
we'll be decimated!Copy !req
237. Retreat!Copy !req
238. That magician.
He toyed with Bayerlein.Copy !req
239. He's still far superior.Copy !req
240. At this juncture, our fleet
has no other plan...Copy !req
241. but to force the Yang Fleet to
continuously engage in combat...Copy !req
242. and to accumulate their attrition and fatigue by incessantly putting our forces into battle.Copy !req
243. We'll reorganize our units
as we continue the battle.Copy !req
244. Divide up our fleet
into two types...Copy !req
245. one focusing on mobility and the
other focusing on firepower...Copy !req
246. and reorganize them
into units of 1,000 ships.Copy !req
247. We'll put them into combat one after another,
and we'll continuously maintain the battle line.Copy !req
248. The supply ships and medical ships
will also be fully mobilized...Copy !req
249. and we'll form an organic coordination
between our front and rear lines.Copy !req
250. Our side still has the advantage, but the
opposition has held up its battle front as well.Copy !req
251. The Gale Wolf
is really good.Copy !req
252. This tactic isn't an unusual one, but it's not
something that an average admiral can pull off.Copy !req
253. I couldn't maximize
our combat potential.Copy !req
254. How pathetic!Copy !req
255. The battlelines
temporarily became stagnant.Copy !req
256. On the next day, May 6th...Copy !req
257. Yang took Merkatz's proposal and
put a new offensive plan into effect.Copy !req
258. Attenborough, Merkatz,
and Yang himself...Copy !req
259. attacked the left wing of the
Imperial Fleet one after another.Copy !req
260. Because of the geography,
the left wing is narrow...Copy !req
261. Vice Admiral DickelCopy !req
262. and if they suffer from a concentrated attack
there, they will merely wait to be decimated.Copy !req
263. At this rate, they'll be mowed down and
may trigger the fall of the entire battle line.Copy !req
264. We have no choice.Copy !req
265. Dispatch the main
fleet to the left wing.Copy !req
266. All right, go!Copy !req
267. Marino Detached Fleet Flagship - MuffueseCopy !req
268. Commodore MarinoCopy !req
269. The Kaiser lives
with magnificence.Copy !req
270. Let's kill him even
more magnificently!Copy !req
271. An enemy ambush unit is
closing in on the Brunhild!Copy !req
272. No!Copy !req
273. We must protect the Kaiser!Copy !req
274. Damn!Copy !req
275. From the beginning, there was
too large a size differential...Copy !req
276. between Commodore Marino's
surprise-attack unit and Steinmetz's Fleet.Copy !req
277. In a battle of less than 30 minutes,
Marino's unit suffered a loss of almost 40%.Copy !req
278. Persevere for a little longer!Copy !req
279. Push the battle
front to the right!Copy !req
280. With one more push, the
enemy unit will break down!Copy !req
281. Don't let up on
our offensive efforts!Copy !req
282. The enemy main fleet is charging
in with a cluster formation!Copy !req
283. What?Copy !req
284. Intercept them!Copy !req
285. Fire!Copy !req
286. Fire!Copy !req
287. 06 May - 11:50Copy !req
288. Admiral...Copy !req
289. The Admiral's left leg
is completely crushed...Copy !req
290. Your reports have
always been accurate.Copy !req
291. With it, you've helped me
in many ways, up to now.Copy !req
292. With this, I probably
won't make it.Copy !req
293. What about your injury...?Copy !req
294. Chief Staff Officer Bolenz...!Copy !req
295. Gretchen...Copy !req
296. The Vonkel has been sunk...!Copy !req
297. Did Steinmetz escape?Copy !req
298. I will confirm it
right away, Mein Kaiser.Copy !req
299. It took three minutes
before Rear Admiral Arkglarf...Copy !req
300. the only survivor of Steinmetz's command
ship, reported the death of his commander.Copy !req
301. Fraulein Mariendorf.Copy !req
302. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
303. I appoint you to be the second Superintendent
of the Staff Officers of the Main Headquarters.Copy !req
304. In place of Steinmetz,
I want you to assist me.Copy !req
305. But, Your Majesty, I...Copy !req
306. Yes, I know.Copy !req
307. It's true you've never
commanded even one soldier...Copy !req
308. but the ones who lead the soldiers
are the front-line admirals...Copy !req
309. and the one who
leads them is myself.Copy !req
310. Your task is only
to counsel me.Copy !req
311. Besides, who would object to the
Kaiser's personnel decisions?Copy !req
312. At this time, the Imperial Force was in the
midst of an unexpectedly adverse battle.Copy !req
313. Especially the Steinmetz Fleet, whose
command ship had been destroyed...Copy !req
314. could not make much
coordinated movement.Copy !req
315. It was furthermore confusing the
command system of the other fleets...Copy !req
316. and had the potential risk of triggering
the collapse of the entire front.Copy !req
317. Perhaps I may end my
life here with this man.Copy !req
318. That, too, might
be a good thing.Copy !req
319. But...Copy !req
320. Call up Waldhauser.Copy !req
321. The fleet that Rear Admiral Alexander
Waldhauser leads numbers 2,400 ships.Copy !req
322. Rear Admiral Alexander WaldhauserCopy !req
323. Reuental likes to put
this unit in action...Copy !req
324. when a small force can potentially
change the course of battle.Copy !req
325. Waldhauser's unit will be parallel
to the right side of the opposition...Copy !req
326. and fire at them
from that position.Copy !req
327. When the advance of
the opposition slows down...Copy !req
328. I would like to have Your Majesty
move backward for the time being.Copy !req
329. I won't move back.Copy !req
330. With a large force several times that of
the opposition, why should I retreat?Copy !req
331. If this ship retreats, the opposition will push
forward so as not to lose the opportunity.Copy !req
332. If that happens, we can lure them
into our centroid formation...Copy !req
333. and utilizing our large force,
we can surround and wipe them out.Copy !req
334. Very well.Copy !req
335. But the coordination of the Imperial
Fleet betrayed Reuental's expectations.Copy !req
336. The space created by the Brunhild's withdrawal gave the Yang Fleet a place to charge in...Copy !req
337. before the Imperial
Fleet could fill it up.Copy !req
338. The enemy fleets
are charging in!Copy !req
339. What?Copy !req
340. Guard ships, fortify our defense!Copy !req
341. From below!Copy !req
342. This is it!Copy !req
343. This is how it has to be!Copy !req
344. Reuental.Copy !req
345. At a 30 degree angle, in the 2 o'clock
direction, concentrate our artillery attack!Copy !req
346. When we create a hole in the enemy fleet line,
we'll press and collapse them from there!Copy !req
347. Reinhard instantly discerned the point
that maintained the enemy fleet line...Copy !req
348. and concentrated his
attack on that area.Copy !req
349. Mein Kaiser is
truly praiseworthy...Copy !req
350. I knew Yang Wenli would
put up a fierce fight.Copy !req
351. As was the case with
the Battle of Vermilion...Copy !req
352. he cannot defeat me unless
he confronts me directly.Copy !req
353. I...Copy !req
354. The Yang Fleet is retreating!Copy !req
355. At 13:40 on May 6th, Kaiser Reinhard
ordered all fleets to retreat temporarily.Copy !req
