2. OF THE

3. At the end of July, Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

4. news of Kaiser Reinhard's order to transfer the capital to Phezzan had reached Iserlohn Fortress.

5. I don't know about the future, but for the time being...

6. it looks like Kaiser Reinhard is able to deal with the Iserlohn issue...

7. and his personal feelings about it.

8. Outside of the realm of political and militaristic conquest...

9. he's lost his motivation now that Admiral Yang is gone.

10. That's how it looks, doesn't it?

11. That's certainly right.

12. I see.

13. I guess that Iserlohn Fortress without Yang Wenli...

14. is nothing more than a pebble on the outer fringe for him.

15. But that isn't actually the case.

16. From the beginning, at least since the extinction of the Free Planets Alliance...

17. Iserlohn Fortress has lost its strategic value.

18. And once the capital is transferred to Phezzan, it will become even more evident.

19. From now on, the Phezzan Corridor...

20. will become the artery that will centralize the New Empire.

21. Frontier development will also be undertaken from Phezzan as its starting point...

22. and the expansion of human civilization itself will be centered upon Phezzan.

23. History and society will both move on without Iserlohn.

24. I think that's the Kaiser's original plan.

25. It may be natural for the Kaiser to think that way.

26. What's surprising to me is that you were able to read his mind.

27. Your gift for strategy is superb.

28. The Kaiser's expedition into Iserlohn itself was always the product of his emotions.

29. The reason the Kaiser fixated upon Iserlohn wasn't because there was a fortress there...

30. it was because Admiral Yang was here.

31. That sounds about right.

32. Upon Yang's death, the Kaiser returned to his usual level-headed strategist self, I guess.

33. So what do you think will happen from this point on?

34. This is more a hope than a prediction, but...

35. Oh?

36. Your speech mannerisms, too, are becoming more like Yang's.

37. This is what Admiral Yang used to say.

38. When each end of the Iserlohn Corridor...

39. is under the governance of different political and military powers...

40. Iserlohn Fortress comes to gain its strategic importance.

41. Yeah.

42. I remember hearing that.

43. Ironically, the reason that Iserlohn is safe right now is...

44. that it has lost its strategic importance.

45. When it recovers its strategic importance;

46. in other words, when there is a split within the Empire...

47. a critical juncture for Iserlohn will come about.

48. Right.

49. In any case, I'm not thinking that the situation will change rapidly.

50. Ale Heinessen's long march of 10,000 light years took him 50 years.

51. We have to be prepared for spending a comparable amount of time.

52. Fifty years from now, I will be almost 90.

53. If I'm still alive, that is.

54. But both you and Mrs. Yang took on thankless jobs.

55. As for Mrs. Yang, people will say that she took advantage of her husband's fame...

56. in order to strengthen her political status.

57. As for you, if you fail, you'll of course suffer a storm of jeers.

58. But even if you succeed...

59. people will say that you benefited from Yang's guerdon, or that you stole Yang's plans.

60. I don't care what people will say about me.

61. As long as we succeed.

62. In this manner, the deserters all left Iserlohn Fortress by the end of July.

63. The remaining personnel amounted to 944,087 people.

64. Among them, 612,906 were male, and 331,181 were female.

65. The majority of the females were already married with families while a few were still single.

66. Though the population inequality between males and females...

67. is a difficult situation to avoid, it will eventually be a problem.

68. Of course it will be a problem.

69. Almost half of the men will be luckless...

70. and of course, I have no intention whatsoever of helping out good-for-nothing guys.

71. Who do you mean by "good-for-nothing" guys?

72. Well, I wonder who.

73. In any case, it doesn't look like we can just build a new nation right away.

74. In the end, we have to maintain a military organization.

75. Commander, here's where we have to think up new ideas.

76. Around that time, as the Governor-General of Neue Land...

77. arriving at Heinessen, the capital planet of the former Free Planets Alliance...

78. Fleet Admiral Oskar von Reuental...

79. establishing the Government-General at Hotel "Euphonia," which he had confiscated...

80. and commenced his political and military administrative duties.

81. The Governor-General of Neue Land...

82. is equal in rank with the Chief Minister of each Ministry...

83. and the forces under his command...

84. are comprised of 35,800 ships and 5,226,400 soldiers.

85. The name of this Force is "Neue Land Public Peace Force," but is also called...

86. albeit unofficially, "The Reuental Force," taking its name from its commander.

87. Reuental divided his duties into military and political affairs...

88. and decided to appoint staff officers in each.

89. In military affairs, Admiral Bergengrun was appointed Military Inspector-General...

90. serving as the agent of the Governor-General.

91. Grillpalzer and Knapfstein were dissatisfied with this personnel decision.

92. Even though they were also Admirals...

93. they had to serve under Bergengrun, who held the same rank.

94. Also, they were at one time, albeit temporarily, under the direct command of Reinhard...

95. and held a feeling of some degree of superiority over Bergengrun.

96. Moreover, Vice Admiral Ritschl, who served as the Supreme Secretary...

97. under Steinmetz with the fleet that was stationed in Gandharva...

98. became the Vice Inspector-General...

99. because of his knowledge of the internal affairs in the former Alliance territory.

100. But this position was a lower one...

101. Vice Admiral Ritschl

102. and had nothing to do with the dissatisfactions of those Admirals.

103. On the other hand, on the political side, upon Kaiser Reinhard's recommendation...

104. a former vice-minister of Internal Affairs and Civil Administration, and technocrat...

105. Julius Elsheimer was appointed to be the Chief of Civil Affairs.

106. Chief of Civil Affairs Julius Elsheimer

107. Coincidentally, Elsheimer is the husband of High Admiral Lutz's sister.

108. And serving under Elsheimer...

109. to offer counsel on the internal situations of the former Alliance...

110. a Senior Council Official, Job Truniht, was sent over.

111. The Kaiser has made a weird personnel decision.

112. After Yang Wenli's unfortunate death...

113. . he's sent the former Alliance leader back home as a subordinate of the Reich.

114. Is he demonstrating the irony against democracy?

115. Don't you get it?

116. Right now, it seems the Kaiser's only pastime is to embarrass that shameless man.

117. Well, it's all right.

118. We should just take advantage of Truniht's skills and knowledge.

119. As for his character, let's not make an issue out of it.

120. Use him but not trust him; the official record states that's what Reuental said.

121. Reuental intended to execute Truniht...

122. if he made even a slightly suspicious or disquieting action.

123. Even more, he may have accepted this unpleasant personnel decision...

124. with the purpose of finding an excuse to execute him.

125. But the more important issue...

126. was that the officers and soldiers who left Iserlohn requested to return to Heinessen.

127. What should we do?

128. Even though they left there...

129. they're still criminals who seized Iserlohn Fortress and rebelled against the Kaiser.

130. I don't know if it is acceptable for us to pardon them unconditionally.

131. I understand how you feel, but the issue can't be resolved that easily.

132. As a realistic issue, it's impossible for us to detain more than one million men and women.

133. On top of that, we need to consider the popular feelings of the former Alliance citizens.

134. It is unwise to amplify their misgivings.

135. In the end, Reuental gave unrestricted freedom to civilians and non-combatants...

136. and permitted junior officers and soldiers to go home after registering their names.

137. But military officers and high-ranking government officials...

138. were required to register their fingerprints...

139. . and report to the Government-General once a month to renew their registration cards.

140. Having taken this measure, Reuental renewed his surprise...

141. when he discovered the name of Vice Admiral Murai among the list of deserters.

142. Even though he was famed as Yang Wenli's chief staff officer...

143. he voluntarily organized the deserters and left.

144. It is rumored that the reason that there were so many deserters was because of his actions.

145. I suppose he gave up on the future of Iserlohn after Yang's death?

146. While I don't think people's feelings are eternal things...

147. it is rather disconcerting to see them change that much even though it's someone else's business.

148. Is that what you think?

149. But remember what happened at the end of the Lippstadt War.

150. Why did the Kaiser mistakenly let an assassin near him?

151. Don't you think that's a precedent we should be mindful of?

152. T... then, should we detain this man, Vice Admiral Murai?

153. No, there's no need to go that far.

154. But put him under surveillance.

155. Yes, sir.

156. In any case...

157. Reuental had no intention of subjecting the deserters from Iserlohn to severe punishment.

158. He had calculated that by praising the deceased Yang Wenli...

159. he could redirect the rebukes of the former Alliance citizens to those who deserted him.

160. The new governor-general is a cunning guy.

161. Why?

162. Boris Konev

163. "Memorial Service for Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli..."

164. "... sponsored by the Neue Land Government-General," huh?

165. He's aiming for a double and triple political effect with it.

166. Among the people who left Iserlohn to stay on Heinessen...

167. there was a party of three who claimed themselves to be "good citizens."

168. Marinesk

169. Cary Willock

170. They were the proud merchants of former Phezzan...

171. and Yang Wenli's friends, Boris Konev and his friends.

172. Phezzan, which used to be a nation for free merchants...

173. has now been degraded into the capital of the Imperial government.

174. I guess I shouldn't have lived this long.

175. But he's situating the center of Imperial government on Phezzan...

176. and connecting it to economy and transportation.

177. Kaiser Reinhard isn't just a warrior.

178. That's why he's not sweet at all.

179. Since he's got such a handsome mask, he should just be content with it...

180. and leave the stuff like talent and capability to other people.

181. What's wrong, Captain?

182. What's the matter?

183. Last year, we went to a godforsaken planet named Earth with Julian's party, didn't we?

184. I remember seeing that face in the gloomy underground shrine.

185. They said he was a bishop or an archbishop or something.

186. Huh?

187. He's a Terraist, isn't he?

188. And a high-ranking official at that.

189. If that's the case, they might be the ones who had Yang Wenli assassinated.

190. That's more than likely.

191. After all, the ones who were at the site of the assassinations were mere living weapons.

192. The ones who manipulated them must have been toasting someplace else, so...

193. The Terraists who were taken to Iserlohn...

194. killed themselves without saying anything in the end...

195. so we still don't know the background situation of the affair.

196. It's not that they didn't say anything; rather, the assassins probably weren't told anything.

197. Captain Bagdashu used truth serum, and that was still the result.

198. Yeah, they should have just executed them right away.

199. But Julian gets indecisive when it comes to a critical point.

200. Well, it's hard for him to kill people outside of the battlefield.

201. Yeah. Julian, oh well...

202. I think he has enough talent, but he has to be more cunning in everything.

203. There's no way to beat the Kaiser just with ideals and common sense.

204. Here comes your pet opinion again.

205. But he is doing well, despite being still young.

206. He's really admirable, making an effort to follow Admiral Yang's great accomplishments.

207. What's the use of resorting to Yang as a manual forever?

208. Yang's dead, you know?

209. Yang was ridiculous himself, too.

210. It's one thing if he'd been defeated in a decisive battle against the Kaiser...

211. but how could he die in such a letdown?

212. He's not the one to be blamed.

213. The ones to be blamed are the Terraists.

214. I know that.

215. That's why we're following them.

216. If I'm right, that mansion is...

217. It's Job Truniht's mansion, the former Supreme Council Leader...

218. who will be shortly returning as a Senior Council Official with the Government-General.

219. Well, it looks like we'll be able to watch a rather interesting drama on Heinessen, too.

220. I guess we'll stay here for a while.

221. Admiral, what kind of an outrageous thing am I doing?

222. I know best myself that I'm doing something that's not my place to do.

223. I can't do things like the Admiral did.

224. What I can do is to ask my memory and understanding...

225. what the Admiral would have done in the same circumstances.

226. But still, how quickly you passed away.

227. Good people and remarkable people are killed meaninglessly.

228. That's war, and that's terrorism.

229. The sin of wars and terrorism, in the end, comes down to that.

230. I understand that.

231. No, I thought I understood.

232. But I can't bear the thought that the Admiral was meaninglessly killed by reactionary terrorism!

233. Is my desire to make the Admiral's death a meaningful one...

234. an act that acknowledges the effectiveness of terrorism?

235. Does that become the political exploitation of the deceased's authority by the survivors?

236. But we need you, Admiral.

237. In order for us to protect the small bud of democracy that the Admiral left to us...

238. we even need the dead to cooperate with us.

239. Oh, dear.

240. In the end, democracy has to rely on an individual's fame, doesn't it?

241. It's an irony.

242. We were able to discover an individual as a personification of the spirit of democracy...

243. which the Admiral sought and never was able to find.

244. You mean me, who is dead now?

245. Only the enlargement of "empty fame" that you used to hate so much while you were alive...

246. makes it possible for us to actualize your ideal.

247. In a time when Kaiser Reinhard's unification of the universe is all but completed...

248. the ideals of republican democracy can stay alive amidst the violent waves of autocracy...

249. only as the ideals of Yang Wenli, the supporter of democracy.

250. After all, the Admiral passed away undefeated.

251. Not even Kaiser Reinhard could defeat you.

252. But I think sometimes.

253. I wanted you to live.

254. Even if you were to lose battles one after another...

255. Admiral...

256. Please come in.

257. You look tired.

258. A little.

259. But I realize now.

260. There's a big difference between undertaking projects on my own initiative...

261. and taking care of duties within the given authority.

262. From now on, we have to create our own principles for our actions.

263. Myself, and you, too, Julian.

264. Yes, you're absolutely right.

265. Here, drink this.

266. Thanks.

267. It's a fatigue remedy that's been passed down in the Kreutzer family.

268. It's not food; it's medicine, so it's only natural that it tastes bad.

269. The ingredients and manufacturing methods will be kept secret...

270. for the mental stability of the people who drink it.

271. Many smart people have left.

272. Iserlohn has become kind of empty now.

273. But you didn't leave.

274. I'm sorry to say.

275. I don't like moving.

276. Besides, I respect Mrs. Yang.

277. I want to help her.

278. I mean, isn't that only natural?

279. Any respectable woman who sees how hard Frederica works would want to help her!

280. Men, too.

281. For Frederica, it was one year.

282. For my mother, it was just three days.

283. That is the time that they spent with their men.

284. I once asked Frederica a discourteous question.

285. I asked her what she liked about Admiral Yang.

286. Her face beamed so proudly then.

287. She said, "Why don't you witness for yourself..."

288. "... a man who works hard to fulfill the duties that are given to him?"

289. If I don't have to fulfill them, I'd like that.

290. But it's not like I can get someone else to do it.

291. You seem to think you're not up to the task, and it's probably true in reality, too...

292. but you shouldn't be ashamed of your inexperience.

293. You know, I use my inexperience as my sales point and am living my life comfortably.

294. She really is the daughter of Lt General Schenkopp.

295. Frederica is really admirable.

296. But maybe that's why men get so presumptuous.

297. I'm not talking about Admiral Yang...

298. but the irresponsible men who take advantage of women's lenience are the worst!

299. Oh well, before the relationship between the father and daughter gets repaired...

300. they seem to have gotten into somewhat of a friendly situation.

301. What the heck is happening there?

302. Is that her whim?

303. A coarse warrior would probably never get it, but women's feelings are like that.

304. What a smartass.

305. But, oh well, in terms of getting a beautiful woman...

306. to come to them without doing anything themselves...

307. Julian's luck is similar to Admiral Yang's.

308. That's a big difference from this certain someone.

309. Let me clarify: he's got only one.

310. It's not like he's had random, numerous ones, like this certain someone.

311. You shouldn't be envious, Admiral Attenborough.

312. In terms of women, the number below 1 is 0.

313. There's no such thing as a decimal point.

314. Who's being envious?

315. In this world, there are people who have different values than yours, you know?

316. You mean, like someone whose foppery and whim are directed only toward revolution?

317. Well, I guess it's a good thing that young people are showing their emotional maturity...

318. trying to get along with one another.

319. That's right.

320. It's a pity if their adolescence is spent entirely on revolution.

321. It's a good thing.

322. Hey, you!

323. About our official name, if we call it "Republic Nation"...

324. we'll have no room left for reparation or compromise in our relationship with the Empire.

325. Moreover, the relationship between the state, government, and military...

326. will become too complicated, also.

327. I wonder if there is an appropriate name for a small organization like ours.

328. "Iserlohn Commune" !

329. It rhymes, too.

330. It's good, don't you think?

331. Rejected.

332. Why?

333. I hope you aren't judging my ideas with your own poor taste.

334. In the history of revolution...

335. all organizations that were named "Commune" have always failed.

336. I don't want to make Iserlohn the graveyard of democracy.

337. It's meaningless to try to be original with just the name.

338. Admiral Yang never liked that sort of thing.

339. Besides, it's not a permanent thing, so won't "The Iserlohn Republic Government" do?

340. In the end, they decided on this title, which seemed the least troublesome.

341. Whether or not this name will radiate an attractive light in history...

342. depends on the work that it does from now on.

343. But to make a clear distinction from the El Facil Independent Government...

344. it was often called the "New Government in August."

345. Though organizational departments were created...

346. many of the personnel appointments were still undecided.

347. But even so, Julian was not too pessimistic.

348. About 300 years ago...

349. there was not one famous politician among the people who accompanied Ale Heinessen...

350. the founder of the Free Planets Alliance, in his long march of 10,000 light years.

351. The common nameless people...

352. who were oppressed and persecuted because of their anti-autocratic philosophy...

353. persevered through a journey of half a century and accomplished the great deed of nation-building.

354. No one can be a famous, great person from his or her birth.

355. We should line up Ale Heinessen and Yang Wenli's photographs alongside each other in four places.

356. Those are the Supreme Council Hall, Central Committee Room...

357. the Executive Office of the Council Leader, and the Revolutionary Force Headquarters.

358. It will be prohibited in other public places.

359. We can't let it become hero worship.

360. Being alongside the nation-founder, would really embarrass Admiral Yang

361. He'd say it doesn't fit him.

362. He probably wants to be sleeping comfortably in Valhalla, the afterlife or wherever he is...

363. but we need to have him at least watch what outcome awaits the artwork that he left us.

364. In this manner, August 8th of Space Calendar 800, New Imperial 2, came about.

365. It was 63 days after Yang Wenli's death.

366. Darling, please watch me.

367. I, Frederica Greenhill Yang...

368. hereby declare upon the collective will of the people who support republican democracy...

369. the establishment of the Iserlohn Republic Government.

370. And the battle to realize the restoration...

371. and realization of freedom, equality, and popular sovereignty...

372. which started at the time of Ale Heinessen, will still continue.

373. For fostering the small bud of democracy in this time of disadvantage and adversity...

374. I want to thank you all.

375. Thank you very much.

376. And when it's all over, I hope to say, "Thank you very much."

377. Cheers to the Iserlohn Republic Government!

378. Die, Kaiser Reinhard!

379. Cheers to the Iserlohn Republic Government!

380. Die, Kaiser Reinhard!

381. Yeah!

382. Liberty stands for freedom...

383. oh hail the flag that set us free.

384. Standing righteous symbolic of strength...

385. our hopes for freedom to be.

386. My friends, not so far away...

387. rules will reunite hand in hand.

388. Oh hail! Liberty bell!

389. True freedom for all men.

390. On August 8th of Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

391. the Iserlohn Republic Government is born.

392. The population comparison with the Empire is 40 billion to 940,000...

393. with 1/425,000 of the entire human population still upholding the flag of republic democracy.

394. Fighting hard for the future.

395. The promise of a better day.

396. For tomorrow we drink from the cup, the wine we fought for today.

397. My friends, let us sing a song...

398. sing along, ring a bell, liberty!

399. Oh hail! Liberty bell!

400. True freedom for all men.

401. The Galactic Empire under the Lohengramm Dynasty...

402. has yet to accomplish the complete unification of space.

403. Whether Yang Wenli's death will facilitate it or stagnate it...

404. End of 3rd Season

405. there was no living person who could predict it.
