3. OF THE
Copy !req
4. GALACTIC HEROES
Copy !req
5. Beneath that lies the bodies
of so many of their faithful...
Copy !req
6. In a religion, there's nothing
cheaper than the lives of its faithful.
Copy !req
7. It's the same as how politicians view the
people and emperors view their soldiers.
Copy !req
8. It may appall you, but
you shouldn't be so surprised.
Copy !req
9. You've told me that
Admiral Yang isn't like that.
Copy !req
10. So people worship him...
I do as well.
Copy !req
11. It's to be expected that his men
hold him in such great esteem.
Copy !req
12. But the job of being a soldier
is itself a cursed existence.
Copy !req
13. Yang himself understands this, so you
probably needn't concern yourself with it.
Copy !req
14. So understanding that, we want you
to assist in critiquing the military.
Copy !req
15. That Julian's
quite the guy.
Copy !req
16. Even I, and those much older than I, are moved to take on the role of his protector.
Copy !req
17. I wonder why?
Copy !req
18. His virtue, perhaps?
Copy !req
19. Virtue?
Copy !req
20. That guy's wet
behind the ears.
Copy !req
21. How can you talk about virtue until
one's had ten or twenty affairs?
Copy !req
22. We'll head off soon.
Get some rest.
Copy !req
23. According to
Commander Linser...
Copy !req
24. you were invaluable in our operations
inside the Earth Church base.
Copy !req
25. Well, we'd just been caught, and needed
to get our comrades out as well.
Copy !req
26. So we were glad
to be of assistance.
Copy !req
27. I would like to reward you.
Is there anything you want?
Copy !req
28. If you could give us passage back to
Phezzan, we will need no other reward.
Copy !req
29. Be a Phezzani.
Ask for something.
Copy !req
30. What is it? If you've lost anything, we'll
compensate you, with our deepest gratitude.
Copy !req
31. Thank you, but we won't know how much
until we've had a chance to tally it up.
Copy !req
32. Perhaps we could speak of it later.
I'd like to take my leave of you.
Copy !req
33. Of course. However, we do
need to return to the capital.
Copy !req
34. Would it be okay with
you to take us to Odin?
Copy !req
35. We've never seen
the Imperial capital...
Copy !req
36. I was thinking that we could pay
the Imperial capital a visit...
Copy !req
37. given that we have no pressing business
and are traveling rather light right now.
Copy !req
38. That's an easy request. My subordinates will make the arrangements.
Copy !req
39. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
40. What a bold request.
Copy !req
41. Admiral Yang told me once...
Copy !req
42. that it is important to
experience different sets of values.
Copy !req
43. So I wanted to see the actual
conditions in the Imperial capital.
Copy !req
44. If we go with the Imperial fleet,
entry won't be a problem.
Copy !req
45. It's a rare opportunity.
Copy !req
46. Quite right. There must be
tons of Imperial babes on Odin.
Copy !req
47. Planet Odin
Copy !req
48. U.C. 799...
Copy !req
49. July 30th of the first year
of the New Imperial Calendar.
Copy !req
50. News of the destruction of the
Earth Church headquarters reaches Odin.
Copy !req
51. But that news was released along
with news of the unrest on Heinessen.
Copy !req
52. Ripples of controversy stirred
amongst the Imperial forces.
Copy !req
53. After the official press release, Captain
Ratzel made an urgent report to Mueller.
Copy !req
54. Are you saying that, as Commissioner, Admiral
Lennenkanpt precipitated the aggression?
Copy !req
55. Captain Ratzel
Copy !req
56. Whether for the nation or for the
Office, I believe his actions were wrong.
Copy !req
57. More seriously, Admiral Lennenkanpt may
have tarnished the reputation of the Reich.
Copy !req
58. Can you prove this
before the courts?
Copy !req
59. Yes, whether it be a
Court-martial or Court of law.
Copy !req
60. I see. So something
this rotten was going on.
Copy !req
61. Lennenkanpt is
quite small-hearted.
Copy !req
62. That day, Kaiser Reinhard had taken
ill and could not attend the meeting...
Copy !req
63. so the men discussed the matter
freely amongst themselves.
Copy !req
64. First, Mueller presented
Captain Ratzel's accusations.
Copy !req
65. This concerns the dignity of the Reich,
and the impartiality of the armed forces.
Copy !req
66. We would like for you to a reach a decision
that is not just Reich or Alliance centric...
Copy !req
67. but something that the common
people can be satisfied with.
Copy !req
68. If it's as the captain says...
Copy !req
69. then our first course of action is to
determine who was responsible for this.
Copy !req
70. I believe that Captain Ratzel has it right.
Copy !req
71. The Kaiser's intentions
are to protect people...
Copy !req
72. from those shameless people
who would treat them unfairly.
Copy !req
73. If Yang Wenli has been shamelessly
framed, then we should clear him.
Copy !req
74. It seems that everyone here is
criticizing Admiral Lennenkanpt.
Copy !req
75. It was on the behalf of the Reich, to guard
against any future plots by Yang Wenli.
Copy !req
76. One might say that this subterfuge
was, perhaps, necessary?
Copy !req
77. Was our nation
founded on subterfuge?
Copy !req
78. We were founded
on the truth!
Copy !req
79. If it is to be like this, how are
we different from the Goldenbaum?
Copy !req
80. How do we prove to the people and the military the purity of the Admiral's intentions?
Copy !req
81. Even if he is an enemy,
Yang Wenli is very popular!
Copy !req
82. Instead of using fact to prove his guilt or
innocence, we use force to cloud the issue.
Copy !req
83. How are we going answer
to future generations?
Copy !req
84. Splendid speech,
Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer.
Copy !req
85. I'd like to remind you of what you did
to Prince Lichtenlade two years ago.
Copy !req
86. Does your conscience
still pain you?
Copy !req
87. The fight with Prince
Lichtenlade was an even match.
Copy !req
88. If we were a moment late, we
would've been the ones slaughtered.
Copy !req
89. We should not be ashamed
at having struck first.
Copy !req
90. But this time,
I wonder if that's true.
Copy !req
91. Aren't we trying to
charge an innocent man...
Copy !req
92. who is a retired soldier, and happily
married, with a crime he didn't commit.
Copy !req
93. Why should we cover up for the shameless
instigators on both sides of this plot?
Copy !req
94. Chief of Military Affairs, do you think that this is what the Kaiser wants?
Copy !req
95. Punish him!
Copy !req
96. Seconded!
Copy !req
97. Let's suppose the situation between Yang Wenli and the Alliance government is worsening.
Copy !req
98. Then it's possible that a relationship
with us would be more friendly.
Copy !req
99. Our actions should be to tell Yang Wenli
to stop causing military problems...
Copy !req
100. and immediately send out an investigation
team to solve this current problem.
Copy !req
101. I can go to aid in the
investigation on Heinessen.
Copy !req
102. You have all
misunderstood something.
Copy !req
103. What concerns me about Yang Wenli's
crimes is not the anonymous tip.
Copy !req
104. I'm concerned about
how he and his men...
Copy !req
105. kidnapped one of the Kaiser's
highest officers and escaped.
Copy !req
106. Are you saying you're going
to ignore this as a crime?
Copy !req
107. Doesn't that trivialize
the Kaiser and the Reich?
Copy !req
108. I hope you keep
that in mind.
Copy !req
109. It's hard for
me to admit...
Copy !req
110. but it's at least Lennenkanpt's fault for
taking an anonymous tip at face value...
Copy !req
111. and charging someone with a
crime without determining guilt.
Copy !req
112. To maintain our dignity...
Copy !req
113. instead of concealing the truth,
shouldn't we expose it...
Copy !req
114. and given time, repair
the damage it caused?
Copy !req
115. This affair of High Admiral Lennenkanpt's
will reflect on the Kaiser.
Copy !req
116. To punish Admiral Lennenkanpt will not
only bring trouble to this new government...
Copy !req
117. Heydrich Lang
Copy !req
118. but cause damage to the Kaiser!
Copy !req
119. Tread lightly
in this matter!
Copy !req
120. Shut the hell up!
Copy !req
121. You're belittling
the Admiral's analysis!
Copy !req
122. Not only do you ignore formalities, but you
dare say you're doing it in the Kaiser's name?
Copy !req
123. You shouldn't try to act more
important than you are.
Copy !req
124. In the first place, for what reason
is the Minister of Internal Affairs...
Copy !req
125. attending a meeting restricted
only to high admirals and above?
Copy !req
126. You dare to interrupt
a high level discussion...!
Copy !req
127. You grow impudent!
Copy !req
128. Get out, right now!
Copy !req
129. Or shall I do you
the honors myself?
Copy !req
130. Wait for me
in my office.
Copy !req
131. I've never been so
shamed in my entire life!
Copy !req
132. I don't mind so much.
Copy !req
133. But to shame you, the
Chief of Military Affairs, as well...
Copy !req
134. It's as if we
were being vilified.
Copy !req
135. Though I don't like it, Fleet Admiral
Reuental's line of argument was correct.
Copy !req
136. I was careless in allowing
you to attend the meeting.
Copy !req
137. And it seems that they object
to your being too close to me.
Copy !req
138. To be worried about such
things hardly befits you!
Copy !req
139. I don't mind being hated. However,
creating new burdens concerns me.
Copy !req
140. I apologize, sir.
Copy !req
141. But in any case, Fleet Admiral Reuental's
actions were extremely aggressive.
Copy !req
142. Maybe we should
keep an eye on him.
Copy !req
143. Reuental's achievements
in founding the nation...
Copy !req
144. cannot be compared to the
Kaiser's trust in Lennenkanpt.
Copy !req
145. There is no evidence
against him yet...
Copy !req
146. Use the Lennenkanpt affair as
your guide, and proceed carefully.
Copy !req
147. I understand.
Copy !req
148. I will find you
incontrovertible evidence...
Copy !req
149. Evidence that will
leave no doubt.
Copy !req
150. I didn't think
my body was so frail.
Copy !req
151. Respectfully speaking, you've been
working too hard, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
152. You've been so involved in
the war, the government...
Copy !req
153. you could hardly avoid
getting a little ill.
Copy !req
154. If it were me, I'd
be really, really ill.
Copy !req
155. I have been feeling
more fatigued lately.
Copy !req
156. You shouldn't work so much.
Copy !req
157. What? Are you saying
you want me to slack off?
Copy !req
158. No, Your Majesty.
Please forgive me.
Copy !req
159. My father used to say that the
strong flame burns out quicker.
Copy !req
160. You should get
sufficient rest.
Copy !req
161. Emil, you won't
understand this yet...
Copy !req
162. What's frightening
isn't the burning out...
Copy !req
163. but the thought of smoldering away
without accomplishing my goals.
Copy !req
164. Shouldn't you think about finding
a wife and having a family soon?
Copy !req
165. It's bad enough that
I have to be guarded...
Copy !req
166. but it would burden the guards
to have to also protect a family.
Copy !req
167. Your Majesty, the Chief of
Military Affairs is here to see you.
Copy !req
168. He brings the decision from the meeting of the High Military Council, and seeks your approval.
Copy !req
169. Very well. I'll receive
him in the next room.
Copy !req
170. There were many voices
raised against Lennenkanpt.
Copy !req
171. Quite a few are pressing
for an investigation.
Copy !req
172. But since the Alliance's ability
to maintain order is in question...
Copy !req
173. I would recommend that we make
preparations for military action at any time.
Copy !req
174. Assigning this to
Lennenkanpt was my mistake.
Copy !req
175. To think he couldn't continue to occupy
a planet for even a hundred days.
Copy !req
176. I suppose there are those people
who can demonstrate their abilities...
Copy !req
177. only when I hold a leash
and chain on them.
Copy !req
178. But this provides justification for
the complete conquest of the Alliance.
Copy !req
179. Do not gainsay me!
Copy !req
180. For the time being, Steinmetz will assume
Lennenkanpt's duties as acting commissioner.
Copy !req
181. Send someone to negotiate
with Yang Wenli for his release.
Copy !req
182. Anyway, there's a need to hear
Lennenkanpt's side of the story.
Copy !req
183. We'll consider Yang
Wenli again after that.
Copy !req
184. Keep a careful eye on
the Alliance government.
Copy !req
185. If there is any unrest, Steinmetz is
to use sufficient force to suppress it.
Copy !req
186. Very well.
Copy !req
187. As for me...
Copy !req
188. is it possible that I wanted
Lennenkanpt to fail like this?
Copy !req
189. That might be true. When I was notified
he had failed, I felt exhilaration.
Copy !req
190. Am I a ruler who
lusts for blood?
Copy !req
191. But now,
my course is set...
Copy !req
192. No, I'm not a ruler
who lusts for blood.
Copy !req
193. I'm looking for confrontation of
diginified wills and intelligence.
Copy !req
194. Is that all? Each clash
teaches me something new.
Copy !req
195. Isn't that right?
Copy !req
196. August 1st...
Copy !req
197. Wahlen's fleet left Earth after
completing its investigations...
Copy !req
198. and set course for the
Imperial capital, Odin.
Copy !req
199. Julian and the others departed
with them, in the Undutiness.
Copy !req
200. Is that the disc?
Copy !req
201. Our only souvenir.
Copy !req
202. Although it's probably worthless
for rooting out the Earth Church...
Copy !req
203. it should be a great help in clearing
Admiral Yang of charges of sedition.
Copy !req
204. That's true.
Copy !req
205. The Earth Church was
unexpectedly fearsome...
Copy !req
206. Yes.
Copy !req
207. But is this really
the end of them?
Copy !req
208. Dayan-Han Supply Base
Copy !req
209. There is no doubt that Admiral Yang
and the others are headed here.
Copy !req
210. Our best option is probably
to wait here for them.
Copy !req
211. True.
Copy !req
212. By the way, has there been any news of
the whereabouts of Kaiser Erwin Josef?
Copy !req
213. Sorry, sir.
There's been no news.
Copy !req
214. But our information gathering has been
hampered by quite a few factors...
Copy !req
215. I know, that was a
difficult question. But...
Copy !req
216. My greatest wish is to see the
restoration of the Goldenbaums.
Copy !req
217. But for the children
who grew up with this...
Copy !req
218. those who cared for them
should take up that responsibility.
Copy !req
219. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
220. To lead Admiral Yang
safely away from this war...
Copy !req
221. and to find
Kaiser Erwin Josef.
Copy !req
222. These are the final
two tasks in my life.
Copy !req
223. Battleship Ulysess
Copy !req
224. Katerose von Kreuzer
Copy !req
225. Cruiser Leda II
Copy !req
226. I hope that Yang Wenli's
name will resound to its utmost.
Copy !req
227. But I don't think he
gives a damn about that.
Copy !req
228. It's hard enough to get
him to play the part.
Copy !req
229. Isn't that the attitude of a teacher with
a student who didn't turn out well?
Copy !req
230. Actually, I used to think
about becoming a teacher.
Copy !req
231. But I hated homework.
Copy !req
232. But you like giving
homework, don't you?
Copy !req
233. Homework's like a mountain.
Copy !req
234. The Empire and the Alliance
are in a precarious situation.
Copy !req
235. A battle can't be fought
with military power alone.
Copy !req
236. There's also logistics,
organization and morale.
Copy !req
237. I need time.
This is happening too fast.
Copy !req
238. Announcing Lennenkanpt's
death is a matter of timing.
Copy !req
239. If done wrong, the Imperial
fleet will be all over us.
Copy !req
240. It was very impressive how you were able to
predict how the government would react...
Copy !req
241. given the constraints of so little
intel and such harsh conditions.
Copy !req
242. Well, perhaps it's because the
government hadn't thought that far ahead.
Copy !req
243. Or maybe it was my
whimisical orchestration.
Copy !req
244. Hey! You're telling
us that now?
Copy !req
245. I'm more sure than ever that there
was a government conspiracy...
Copy !req
246. and that there's a power struggle inside
the Alliance government, then and now.
Copy !req
247. I wasn't particularly
unfaithful to it.
Copy !req
248. Although you did
waver a little.
Copy !req
249. If it was going to turn out this way, we
shouldn't have abandoned Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
250. We should've used the invincible
fortress as a base for democracy.
Copy !req
251. We could've used it to gain concessions
from the Empire for autonomy.
Copy !req
252. Though it probably
wouldn't have been easy.
Copy !req
253. Are you sorry things
turned out this way?
Copy !req
254. Not at all.
Copy !req
255. I'm not even thirty-two,
and I'm already an admiral.
Copy !req
256. It's both a benefit and a consequence of
being under Admiral Yang's command.
Copy !req
257. We'd better have
him take responsibility.
Copy !req
258. Autonomy?
Copy !req
259. Now that they're aware of
the Empire's ambitions...
Copy !req
260. Phezzan will be
completely subjugated.
Copy !req
261. What's the missus been
doing all this time?
Copy !req
262. She's compiling data on
ours and Merkatz' fleets...
Copy !req
263. so that Admiral Yang can be
ready to plan for battle at any time.
Copy !req
264. I see.
Copy !req
265. Everyone is better suited
for some things than others.
Copy !req
266. She's better at this
than cooking for her hubby.
Copy !req
267. The problem is
with the hubby.
Copy !req
268. We place him in this high position in
our group and all he does is take naps.
Copy !req
269. What a waste.
Copy !req
270. Isn't it just that you're annoyed that
you've gotten yourself involved in this?
Copy !req
271. Phezzan...
Copy !req
272. If I send Boris Konev home, couldn't I gain the
cooperation of the independent merchants?
Copy !req
273. He and his wife have figured out
the proper defensive tactics.
Copy !req
274. But the problem is, they haven't thought
about what happens afterwards.
Copy !req
275. We have to have them
be more ambitious.
Copy !req
276. To do that we have to meet up
with Julian's ship from Earth.
Copy !req
277. For that reason
we need a base.
Copy !req
278. I must first meet up with Admiral
Merkatz to establish a chain of command.
Copy !req
279. I come to the same
conclusion every time.
Copy !req
280. But you know, being
called a "rebel fleet..."
Copy !req
281. From my point of view, we're
simply a group of wayward sons.
Copy !req
282. Frederica.
Copy !req
283. A cup of black tea, please.
Copy !req
284. Two months...
only two months.
Copy !req
285. If things had gone as planned, I wouldn't
have had to work for five years...
Copy !req
286. The seat of government
will be moved to Phezzan.
Copy !req
287. Odin is too far
from Alliance soil.
Copy !req
288. Count Mariendorf, my cabinet secretary,
shall serve as my regent on Odin.
Copy !req
289. Military and diplomatic functions
will move to Phezzan with me.
Copy !req
290. All other high-ranking
officers will go as well.
Copy !req
291. However, High Admiral Kesler, the
Commissioner of the Military Police...
Copy !req
292. and the person controlling our logistics
and support, High Admiral Mecklinger...
Copy !req
293. and the subjugator of Earth,
High Admiral Wahlen, are exempt.
Copy !req
294. Complete the transfer
within the year.
Copy !req
295. I shall arrive there
on September 17th.
Copy !req
296. Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer
will leave by August 30th.
Copy !req
297. The others will
travel with me.
Copy !req
298. His every word is filled
with a craving for battle.
Copy !req
299. Perhaps he's a man who
needs an opponent.
Copy !req
300. Or maybe he climbed
too high, too fast.
Copy !req
301. No...
Copy !req
302. It's possible this man was born needing
to meet an enemy like a Rudolf...
Copy !req
303. so that his life
could have meaning.
Copy !req
304. Fraulein, haven't you written these
letters a bit on the harsh side?
Copy !req
305. Yes.
My apologies, sir.
Copy !req
306. A postscript.
Copy !req
307. Also, the relocation to
Phezzan is not temporary.
Copy !req
308. August 8th...
Copy !req
309. Kaiser Reinhard announced
the transfer of the capital city.
Copy !req
310. The move to Phezzan
began to turn into reality.
Copy !req
311. The announcement made it
clear that the stalemate...
Copy !req
312. between the Empire, the
Alliance, and Phezzan was over.
Copy !req
313. Phezzan, huh?
Copy !req
314. I see. He wasn't thinking
the same thing as us.
Copy !req
315. In the guise of the transfer of the
capital city, launch an invasion.
Copy !req
316. What will that woman do?
Copy !req
317. That woman, Elfriede?
Copy !req
318. That aside, the Kaiser's real mistake
was not in using Lennenkanpt...
Copy !req
319. but Oberstein!
Copy !req
320. Even in this case, don't you think
he's the one pulling the strings?
Copy !req
321. That bastard. He may think
he's a loyal retainer...
Copy !req
322. but at this rate, he'll eliminate
those he disagrees with one by one.
Copy !req
323. And one day, he'll
fracture the Dynasty!
Copy !req
324. Yes, I think so as well.
Copy !req
325. What worries me the most is the rift that is
appearing between the Kaiser and Oberstein.
Copy !req
326. I wonder what will happen
when their views don't match.
Copy !req
327. My heart feels strange...
Copy !req
328. Didn't I also once have
plans to seize power?
Copy !req
329. No... but there is
a method for that.
Copy !req
330. There is a nervousness in watching
the interplay of Mein Kaiser's policies...
