Legend of the Galactic Heroes 3x27

Directed by

The Imperial fleets adopt a tactic of attrition via rotations. The Müller fleet, Mittermeyer's subordinates, Bittenfeld and many other Admirals rotate on the battle line. Yang's fleet, with less that 20,000 ships left fights on with no rotations in manpower. Bittenfeld's elite troops cause a fatal blow to Yang's fleet. Admiral Fischer, the one in charge of Yang's fleet maneuvers is killed in battle. Reinhard passes out from sickness. A ceasefire is announced. The Yang fleet passes out in Iserlohn.

1. D-YFI@AniDB

2. OF THE

3. Damn, seems like the alcohol poisoning has finally reached my brain.

4. I even see hallucinations I don't want to see.

5. Those gloomy faces...

6. Commander Poplan, please quit drinking.

7. It's not good for your health.

8. Commander, please.

9. Shut up, greenhorn!

10. Why should I listen to orders from people other than Yang Wenli?

11. I should have the right to choose who will give me orders.

12. That's what democracy is about, isn't it?

13. Commander Poplan, I now officially inform you.

14. Because of Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli's death, Julian will become our commander.

15. So I will make this clear to you now.

16. Commander Poplan...

17. from now on you won't be allowed to disagree with Julian's command authority...

18. or make statements that compromise the Headquarters' leadership.

19. Even if Julian allows it, I won't.

20. Are you unhappy with that?

21. If that's the case, leave Iserlohn.

22. There's no need for you to be here if you're not going to be of any use to Julian!

23. No, I'm not unhappy with it.

24. Hello, Commander!

25. From today on, I will renew my spirit.

26. Please don't abandon me from now on, either.

27. I've thought about it on many occasions.

28. At the time I was defeated by Reinhard von Lohengramm in the Lippstadt War...

29. it might perhaps have been better for me to have died.

30. But I no longer think that way.

31. Until I was almost 60 years old, I'd always lived a life afraid of failure.

32. I'm finally beginning to learn that there is another kind of life...

33. and I have to repay my debt, be grateful or whatever, to the people who taught that to me.

34. On June 6th, Iserlohn Fortress...

35. under the name of the Interim Revolutionary Force Commander, Julian Minci...

36. announced the death of Yang Wenli and held a formal funeral.

37. At the same time, the El Facil Revolutionary Government declared its disbandment...

38. and it ended its short life.

39. On the same day, at 19:10, Iserlohn Fortress's communication...

40. sent to all areas of space, was intercepted by the Imperial Fleets.

41. Your Majesty, I have a report for you.

42. Just now, Iserlohn Fortress has delivered to all areas of space the report of a death.

43. Yang Wenli has passed away.

44. Fraulein...

45. Fraulein...!

46. I've heard a lot of bad news from you before, but this is the worst.

47. Do you have the right to disappoint me to this degree?

48. Anyone and everyone, be they friend or foe, they all go and leave me behind.

49. Why don't they continue to live on, for my sake?

50. I need an enemy.

51. I don't remember having given that man the right to be defeated by anyone but myself!

52. That man didn't let me win, at Vermilion or Iserlohn Corridor.

53. He killed many of my valuable admirals!

54. And in the end, you tell me he died at the hands of someone other than me?

55. Fraulein Mariendorf.

56. Yes, Your Majesty.

57. I want to send someone to Iserlohn as my agent.

58. As a messenger of condolence, that is.

59. Who do you think would be suitable?

60. Shall I go myself?

61. No, I want you to remain at my side.

62. You are my Chief Superintendent of the Staff Officers, after all.

63. How silly of me. What did I hope for just now?

64. His Majesty is this kind of a person...

65. Right, why don't I have Muller go?

66. Come to think of it, he met Yang once after the Battle of Vermilion.

67. Yang Wenli's death was a significant shock not only to Reinhard...

68. but also to the other admirals of the Imperial Fleet.

69. Are you sure Yang Wenli actually died?

70. Isn't it possible that he's feigning his death and is alive somewhere now?

71. There is no reason for Yang to use such a scheme at this juncture.

72. With that trickster, we never know what he's plotting.

73. I'd always thought Yang Wenli's defeat rested solely in the hands of one person...

74. Mein Kaiser, and that no one, not even the Supreme God, Odin, could violate that rule.

75. There's no way he'd die in that way.

76. This has got to be an evil trap of some sort.

77. He's still alive and hiding somewhere.

78. By the way, who is this Julian Minci who claims to be Yang's successor?

79. I don't recognize his name from among the admirals of the Yang Fleet.

80. He was Yang Wenli's foster son, and his rank is Lieutenant Junior Grade.

81. He is 18 years old.

82. I see. I feel sorry for him.

83. He has a tough road ahead.

84. Because his predecessor was so great.

85. No matter who becomes his successor...

86. there's no way he will be able to do as much as, or better than, Yang Wenli.

87. There's no guarantee that his subordinates will follow him.

88. The last fortress of Republican Democracy...

89. while still remaining invincible to the enemy, may finally crumble from within.

90. In that case, the war will finally end.

91. The soldiers, too, will finally get to go home.

92. It's a dissatisfying ending...

93. but at least we should welcome the fact that peace will finally arrive.

94. From among the Imperial Fleet destroyers that were used for Yang Wenli's assassination...

95. one was sunk by the Ulysses...

96. and the other one, while on the run...

97. was intercepted by a fleet under the command of Admiral Buro of the Imperial Fleet.

98. According to the official report, they were ordered to capture it...

99. but because it resisted, there was no choice but to destroy it as well.

100. Because of this, the actual culprits in Yang's assassination...

101. were "martyred" without having their names known.

102. The fact that the culprits in Yang's assassination were disguised as Imperial soldiers...

103. was immediately investigated but the suicide of about ten or so officers and junior officers...

104. made it extremely difficult to uncover the truth of the affair.

105. This incident, along with the earlier attempted assassination of Wahlen...

106. led to the realization that Terraism's influence...

107. was deeply rooted within the Imperial Fleet.

108. In the end, we only found out that they were Terraists...

109. and we still know nothing about the background circumstances of the affair.

110. I wouldn't be surprised if that sharp Chief Minister of the Military Affairs...

111. had extended an invisible hand from Phezzan to stab Yang Wenli in the heart with a knife.

112. But even for that man...

113. I would think it's impossible to rule all the conspiracies that exist in this universe.

114. I couldn't stand it if it were.

115. By the way, the problem is what should we do with Iserlohn after Yang's death?

116. I presume you have your own ideas about it?

117. Yang's death does not necessarily mean the arrival of peace.

118. The republicans are still entrenched in Iserlohn Fortress, after all.

119. From the standpoint of both political and war strategy we have no choice but to attack them.

120. First, we advise them to surrender.

121. If they don't accept, we'll strike with the entirety of the Imperial Fleet.

122. What do you think?

123. I agree.

124. With Yang Wenli's death, the Supreme God, Odin, has given the universe to the Kaiser.

125. Not to take it would be a betrayal of the divine will.

126. But...

127. But...?

128. But the Kaiser would not find it honorable to strike at a force that is in mourning.

129. You will probably say that it's nothing more than sentimentality.

130. Until just now, I thought so, too.

131. You're saying you've changed your mind?

132. It depends on how we think, Reuental.

133. In the beginning, both you and I were opposed to invading the Iserlohn Corridor.

134. The reason the Kaiser did not take our advice was that his great rival, Yang Wenli, was there.

135. Now that he's gone, it's only natural for the Kaiser to return to his original strategy.

136. I think you know this.

137. That the strategy that was right yesterday is not necessarily right today.

138. We can't say that the strategy that was right when Yang Wenli was alive...

139. does not necessarily maintain its utmost value after his death.

140. But...

141. if the Kaiser's and your opinions agree with one another...

142. my opinion might be the one that's wrong.

143. From now on, the nature of the Imperial Fleet will change.

144. Its objective will be maintaining public peace and order, rather than foreign expeditions.

145. That is, if everything settles down.

146. And that's good, too.

147. Many soldiers will be able to return to their homes alive.

148. The unification of the universe has all but been accomplished...

149. so we should consider that all is well.

150. And you'll be able to return to your beloved wife, right, Mittermeyer?

151. Yeah, thankfully.

152. By the way, I've been concerned about it...

153. so what happened to the woman who became pregnant with your child?

154. It was born on May 5th.

155. I heard it was a boy.

156. I see.

157. He must surely be my child.

158. Parent and child, both generations, were born even though we shouldn't have been.

159. If he grows up safely, he will be such a detested man.

160. He might even have my mismatched eyes.

161. Reuental, I can understand why you aren't interested in that woman, but...

162. The child who was born is not sinful, right?

163. I don't know.

164. I don't have a child, so...

165. It's better not to have one.

166. You don't have to worry about being betrayed.

167. But let's drop the subject.

168. We have no reason to fight over a child whom we haven't even met.

169. Yeah, you're right.

170. Well, I'll get going.

171. Whether we fight or don't fight, there are a lot of things to be done.

172. Once the war is over, you'll finally be the Governor-General of Neue Land.

173. Since the place of your appointment will be far away...

174. we'll have fewer opportunities to have a drink like this.

175. After slightly awkwardly shaking hands, they parted.

176. Of course, they couldn't know at this time...

177. that for the "Matchless Twin Stars" of the Imperial Force...

178. it would be the last time they'd shake hands...

179. and it was the last drink they'd have together.

180. These were the events on June 8th of New Imperial Calendar 2.

181. Immediately after Muller departed as a messenger of condolence...

182. a withdrawal order was given to all fleets.

183. As Mittermeyer predicted, Reinhard would not attack a force in mourning.

184. Still, he probably would not have taken this stance...

185. back when he was fighting against the high aristocrats.

186. Is this a result of his chivalry or of the enervation of the Kaiser's ambition?

187. Mittermeyer and Reuental pondered over the same question in their hearts...

188. while they diligently fulfilled their respective duties.

189. On June 12th, as an agent of Kaiser Reinhard...

190. High Admiral Neithardt Muller of the Imperial Fleet...

191. visited Iserlohn Fortress to express condolences.

192. Is it safe to invite them in?

193. Could this be a surprise attack?

194. Considering Kaiser Reinhard's character...

195. I don't think he would take such sneaky measures.

196. Besides, taking into account the war potential differentials at present...

197. I don't think they'd need to sacrifice an important vassal like High Admiral Muller.

198. Kaiser Reinhard loves making a grand gesture.

199. He was like that even when Admiral Yang was still alive.

200. Now that he's dead...

201. there's no way he would use such sneaky tactics against small-time opponents like us.

202. When he was still alive, he often praised Admiral Muller.

203. I'm sure he will be happy that he is visiting him.

204. I'd definitely like to let them meet.

205. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to meet you.

206. For our Fleet, your husband was our strongest, as well as our best opponent.

207. Thank you.

208. When he was still alive, Yang Wenli used to talk about you, Admiral.

209. I'm certain he's glad that you came today.

210. Herr Minci.

211. Although I have not been granted any political authority by the Kaiser...

212. if you wished to express to the Kaiser your intention to submit...

213. I'd be happy to report it to the Kaiser.

214. What do you think?

215. Admiral Muller, please excuse me for the hypothetical situation I will talk about now.

216. If your beloved Kaiser passes away, will you consider changing the flag that you uphold?

217. I see. What Herr Minci says is right.

218. I made an inappropriate statement.

219. I apologize.

220. No matter how remarkable the individual is, if we belong to a different camp...

221. we have no choice but to try to kill each other.

222. Herr Minci, what is that?

223. Oh, that is, if you don't mind my asking, I wonder if you would enlighten me.

224. Those are the people who have given up on the future of Iserlohn and are leaving.

225. Admiral Muller, this may not be my place to request this...

226. but it would be helpful if the Imperial Fleet could assure their safe return to Heinessen.

227. Um, yes...

228. Commander, is it true that you gave those who are leaving...

229. access to storage and permission to take resources?

230. Only those kinds that can be reproduced.

231. In any case, we can't store more than we need...

232. so it's better to have them take some and use them as they like.

233. Besides, it's not like we can give them salaries or retirement pay.

234. You're too nice.

235. As for the assurances, I promise you.

236. It's not for me to say, but I suppose it will make things difficult for you...

237. if some of those people cooperate with our fleet in the future, won't it?

238. Yes, it will make things difficult.

239. But we have no choice but to accept it.

240. There may be cases where some of them may be forced to cooperate.

241. We have no right to denounce them.

242. Well, we must be leaving.

243. Next time, we'll most likely meet on the battlefield.

244. Until then, please be well.

245. I hope we both will be.

246. Even while he was ill, Kaiser Reinhard did not neglect his duty as an autocratic ruler.

247. While he left most military affairs largely to Fleet Admirals Reuental and Mittermeyer...

248. he had no choice but to take care of political affairs on his own.

249. That's because he wasn't able to find anyone for political affairs...

250. equal to what his Fleet Admirals are to military affairs.

251. In that regard, Reinhard was beginning to feel regretful...

252. about the loss of Silverberche to the terrorist attack.

253. He could have asked it of Hilda.

254. But Reinhard had appointed her the Superintendent of the Staff Officers...

255. strengthened her military authority, thereby weakening her input to political affairs.

256. Even under an autocratic government...

257. the distinction between military servants and political servants had to be observed.

258. Hilda herself understood her position and authority...

259. so she tried not to advise him on items regarding national politics.

260. That's right.

261. Unless I make the Fraulein Imperial Prime Minister or something...

262. you can't consult with me.

263. Your Majesty...

264. Reinhard's policy at this time...

265. was something that could be characterized as a revolution from the top.

266. The improvement of the welfare system...

267. as proposed by Minister of Civil Administration, Karl Blakke...

268. significantly contributed to the realization of social justice...

269. under the autocracy that is the main feature of the Lohengramm Dynasty.

270. Also, Reinhard himself had not said so publicly...

271. but that policy may have been aimed at the natural abolishment of the aristocracy...

272. and the establishment of free imperial governance...

273. that would connect the people directly with the Kaiser.

274. Your Majesty, won't you eat your meal?

275. I don't have an appetite.

276. But Your Majesty, if you don't eat, you won't regain your strength.

277. In order for you to get better soon, please eat your meal even if you don't have the appetite.

278. Emil!

279. Are you going to give an order to me, the Kaiser?

280. Must I eat a meal that I don't want to eat just because a servant demands it?

281. I understand, Emil.

282. I sometimes can't control my short temper.

283. Forgive me.

284. I'll try to eat, even just one spoon-full.

285. After Emil left the room, Reinhard had two spoonfuls of soup.

286. Had the Adjutant, Vice Admiral Streit, not come in...

287. he might have tried to take a third even though he didn't want to.

288. Streit came to discuss matters concerning Steinmetz's bequest.

289. While he was still alive, he had left a letter that was sort of like a will...

290. and it said he wished to leave all of his assets to one woman.

291. In order to respect the deceased's will, he sought Reinhard's permission.

292. That's fine, but wasn't Steinmetz single?

293. Although he was not legally married...

294. it appears he had a five-year relationship with a woman named Gretchen von Erhardt.

295. Why didn't he get married?

296. Well, it appears he used to say...

297. that until Your Majesty found his Empress, he, as a vassal, would not take a wife.

298. How silly.

299. People like Mittermeyer and Eisenach have families even though they are my loyal vassals.

300. Steinmetz should have married, too.

301. If you'll excuse me, Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty yourself is single...

302. it's only natural for your retainers to follow your example.

303. Don't you agree?

304. In other words, you want to say that I should find an Empress.

305. In case I die...

306. Your Majesty!

307. It's not something to be upset about.

308. I'm not the same as that Rudolf.

309. Even if you're a Kaiser, you do not have eternal youth and life.

310. I'm aware of that.

311. If I die without a blood descendant, whoever has the capability...

312. I don't care if they're a vassal or someone else...

313. they can just declare themselves king or emperor or whatever.

314. That's what I think anyway.

315. Just because I rule the entire universe...

316. there is no reason that my heirs should inherit it...

317. without possessing the requisite capabilities or renown.

318. Upon Muller's return, the Imperial Fleet began its withdrawal.

319. Even though there was no danger of enemy attack...

320. a disorderly withdrawal of their fleets was something that their pride would not permit.

321. At the same time, released from the Chief of High Command Office...

322. Reuental departed for Heinessen for his appointment as Governor-General of Neue Land.

323. Mein Kaiser, you have provided me with unmerited position and authority...

324. but I wonder what you truly wish for.

325. Are you satisfied as long as I am merely a loyal and useful cog of your domination?

326. Do you think this is the end of it all, Admiral?

327. I don't know.

328. I feel as though half of the universe has become empty.

329. For our Fleet, Yang Wenli was the hated archrival...

330. but it is also true that he was a great tactician.

331. In order for the daylight to be truly like daylight, it needs the night.

332. By the same token, I wonder if that man was necessary for our Fleet.

333. Once we return to Phezzan, we'll have several consecutive funerals.

334. Fahrenheit, Steinmetz, and Silverberche...

335. What a year.

336. For the Lohengramm Dynasty, it has been a tremendously unfortunate year.

337. We still have six months left in the year.

338. Please don't scare me, Fleet Admiral!

339. As far as I'm concerned...

340. I'd like to think that we've used up all our misfortune for this year in the first half.

341. If there were a fixed amount of misfortunes or mishaps...

342. it would make it easier for us to plan for the future.

343. That way, I might perhaps not have to make Eva worry each time I leave for an expedition.

344. Bayerlein, do you have a girlfriend or two?

345. No.

346. You don't?

347. Not even one?

348. Um, well, for me, the Fleet is my lover, so...

349. Um, no, I hope to find a beautiful woman like the Fleet Admiral's wife...

350. but it hasn't quite worked...

351. Bayerlein!

352. Sir!

353. I think I've taught you military tactics.

354. But listen...

355. as for finding a girlfriend and cracking jokes, you've got to study on your own.

356. Self-learning and self-acquisition is a good thing sometimes, you know?

357. Yang Wenli was the biggest supporter of republican democracy...

358. . and except for one person...

359. the best and most capable military commander in the last five centuries.

360. Now that he's passed away...

361. I wonder if the republican democratic powers will crumble to pieces.

362. I used to think it would, but now, I'm not sure.

363. Regardless of what he himself would wish...

364. I believe Yang Wenli has become an inviolable presence for democracy because of his death.

365. There are those who intend to inherit his will and fight...

366. and Iserlohn will become a sacred land for them.

367. Depending on how capable its commander is, futile battles might continue from now on.

368. But Iserlohn alone cannot become a force to match up against our Fleet...

369. so the presence of those who try to take advantage of them might become a larger issue.

370. But for now, I want to thank the Kaiser and my subordinates...

371. for the happiness of being able to return safely and see you.

372. In June of Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

373. regardless of how, one war has ended.
