Legend of the Galactic Heroes 3x7

Directed by

Prime Minister Lebello visits Yang in prison. Yang realizes he will be used as a scapegoat by the Alliance to avoid Imperial intervention. Schenkopp and Attenborough reorganize Yang's subordinates. With the Rosen Ritter in full rebellion, the Alliance troops are no match for the difference in battle experience and morale. During the chaos, the Rosen Ritter kidnaps the Prime Minister. However, the Alliance military decides to sacrifice the PM and execute Yang early. Frederica and Schenkopp save Yang at the last moment, escaping with Yang's staff into the night.

1. D-YFI@AniDB

2. OF THE

3. Beneath that lies the bodies of so many of their faithful...

4. In a religion, there's nothing cheaper than the lives of its faithful.

5. It's the same as how politicians view the people and emperors view their soldiers.

6. It may appall you, but you shouldn't be so surprised.

7. You've told me that Admiral Yang isn't like that.

8. So people worship him... I do as well.

9. It's to be expected that his men hold him in such great esteem.

10. But the job of being a soldier is itself a cursed existence.

11. Yang himself understands this, so you probably needn't concern yourself with it.

12. So understanding that, we want you to assist in critiquing the military.

13. That Julian's quite the guy.

14. Even I, and those much older than I, are moved to take on the role of his protector.

15. I wonder why?

16. His virtue, perhaps?

17. Virtue?

18. That guy's wet behind the ears.

19. How can you talk about virtue until one's had ten or twenty affairs?

20. We'll head off soon. Get some rest.

21. According to Commander Linser...

22. you were invaluable in our operations inside the Earth Church base.

23. Well, we'd just been caught, and needed to get our comrades out as well.

24. So we were glad to be of assistance.

25. I would like to reward you. Is there anything you want?

26. If you could give us passage back to Phezzan, we will need no other reward.

27. Be a Phezzani. Ask for something.

28. What is it? If you've lost anything, we'll compensate you, with our deepest gratitude.

29. Thank you, but we won't know how much until we've had a chance to tally it up.

30. Perhaps we could speak of it later. I'd like to take my leave of you.

31. Of course. However, we do need to return to the capital.

32. Would it be okay with you to take us to Odin?

33. We've never seen the Imperial capital...

34. I was thinking that we could pay the Imperial capital a visit...

35. given that we have no pressing business and are traveling rather light right now.

36. That's an easy request. My subordinates will make the arrangements.

37. Thank you very much.

38. What a bold request.

39. Admiral Yang told me once...

40. that it is important to experience different sets of values.

41. So I wanted to see the actual conditions in the Imperial capital.

42. If we go with the Imperial fleet, entry won't be a problem.

43. It's a rare opportunity.

44. Quite right. There must be tons of Imperial babes on Odin.

45. Planet Odin

46. U.C. 799...

47. July 30th of the first year of the New Imperial Calendar.

48. News of the destruction of the Earth Church headquarters reaches Odin.

49. But that news was released along with news of the unrest on Heinessen.

50. Ripples of controversy stirred amongst the Imperial forces.

51. After the official press release, Captain Ratzel made an urgent report to Mueller.

52. Are you saying that, as Commissioner, Admiral Lennenkanpt precipitated the aggression?

53. Captain Ratzel

54. Whether for the nation or for the Office, I believe his actions were wrong.

55. More seriously, Admiral Lennenkanpt may have tarnished the reputation of the Reich.

56. Can you prove this before the courts?

57. Yes, whether it be a Court-martial or Court of law.

58. I see. So something this rotten was going on.

59. Lennenkanpt is quite small-hearted.

60. That day, Kaiser Reinhard had taken ill and could not attend the meeting...

61. so the men discussed the matter freely amongst themselves.

62. First, Mueller presented Captain Ratzel's accusations.

63. This concerns the dignity of the Reich, and the impartiality of the armed forces.

64. We would like for you to a reach a decision that is not just Reich or Alliance centric...

65. but something that the common people can be satisfied with.

66. If it's as the captain says...

67. then our first course of action is to determine who was responsible for this.

68. I believe that Captain Ratzel has it right.

69. The Kaiser's intentions are to protect people...

70. from those shameless people who would treat them unfairly.

71. If Yang Wenli has been shamelessly framed, then we should clear him.

72. It seems that everyone here is criticizing Admiral Lennenkanpt.

73. It was on the behalf of the Reich, to guard against any future plots by Yang Wenli.

74. One might say that this subterfuge was, perhaps, necessary?

75. Was our nation founded on subterfuge?

76. We were founded on the truth!

77. If it is to be like this, how are we different from the Goldenbaum?

78. How do we prove to the people and the military the purity of the Admiral's intentions?

79. Even if he is an enemy, Yang Wenli is very popular!

80. Instead of using fact to prove his guilt or innocence, we use force to cloud the issue.

81. How are we going answer to future generations?

82. Splendid speech, Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer.

83. I'd like to remind you of what you did to Prince Lichtenlade two years ago.

84. Does your conscience still pain you?

85. The fight with Prince Lichtenlade was an even match.

86. If we were a moment late, we would've been the ones slaughtered.

87. We should not be ashamed at having struck first.

88. But this time, I wonder if that's true.

89. Aren't we trying to charge an innocent man...

90. who is a retired soldier, and happily married, with a crime he didn't commit.

91. Why should we cover up for the shameless instigators on both sides of this plot?

92. Chief of Military Affairs, do you think that this is what the Kaiser wants?

93. Punish him!

94. Seconded!

95. Let's suppose the situation between Yang Wenli and the Alliance government is worsening.

96. Then it's possible that a relationship with us would be more friendly.

97. Our actions should be to tell Yang Wenli to stop causing military problems...

98. and immediately send out an investigation team to solve this current problem.

99. I can go to aid in the investigation on Heinessen.

100. You have all misunderstood something.

101. What concerns me about Yang Wenli's crimes is not the anonymous tip.

102. I'm concerned about how he and his men...

103. kidnapped one of the Kaiser's highest officers and escaped.

104. Are you saying you're going to ignore this as a crime?

105. Doesn't that trivialize the Kaiser and the Reich?

106. I hope you keep that in mind.

107. It's hard for me to admit...

108. but it's at least Lennenkanpt's fault for taking an anonymous tip at face value...

109. and charging someone with a crime without determining guilt.

110. To maintain our dignity...

111. instead of concealing the truth, shouldn't we expose it...

112. and given time, repair the damage it caused?

113. This affair of High Admiral Lennenkanpt's will reflect on the Kaiser.

114. To punish Admiral Lennenkanpt will not only bring trouble to this new government...

115. Heydrich Lang

116. but cause damage to the Kaiser!

117. Tread lightly in this matter!

118. Shut the hell up!

119. You're belittling the Admiral's analysis!

120. Not only do you ignore formalities, but you dare say you're doing it in the Kaiser's name?

121. You shouldn't try to act more important than you are.

122. In the first place, for what reason is the Minister of Internal Affairs...

123. attending a meeting restricted only to high admirals and above?

124. You dare to interrupt a high level discussion...!

125. You grow impudent!

126. Get out, right now!

127. Or shall I do you the honors myself?

128. Wait for me in my office.

129. I've never been so shamed in my entire life!

130. I don't mind so much.

131. But to shame you, the Chief of Military Affairs, as well...

132. It's as if we were being vilified.

133. Though I don't like it, Fleet Admiral Reuental's line of argument was correct.

134. I was careless in allowing you to attend the meeting.

135. And it seems that they object to your being too close to me.

136. To be worried about such things hardly befits you!

137. I don't mind being hated. However, creating new burdens concerns me.

138. I apologize, sir.

139. But in any case, Fleet Admiral Reuental's actions were extremely aggressive.

140. Maybe we should keep an eye on him.

141. Reuental's achievements in founding the nation...

142. cannot be compared to the Kaiser's trust in Lennenkanpt.

143. There is no evidence against him yet...

144. Use the Lennenkanpt affair as your guide, and proceed carefully.

145. I understand.

146. I will find you incontrovertible evidence...

147. Evidence that will leave no doubt.

148. I didn't think my body was so frail.

149. Respectfully speaking, you've been working too hard, Your Majesty.

150. You've been so involved in the war, the government...

151. you could hardly avoid getting a little ill.

152. If it were me, I'd be really, really ill.

153. I have been feeling more fatigued lately.

154. You shouldn't work so much.

155. What? Are you saying you want me to slack off?

156. No, Your Majesty. Please forgive me.

157. My father used to say that the strong flame burns out quicker.

158. You should get sufficient rest.

159. Emil, you won't understand this yet...

160. What's frightening isn't the burning out...

161. but the thought of smoldering away without accomplishing my goals.

162. Shouldn't you think about finding a wife and having a family soon?

163. It's bad enough that I have to be guarded...

164. but it would burden the guards to have to also protect a family.

165. Your Majesty, the Chief of Military Affairs is here to see you.

166. He brings the decision from the meeting of the High Military Council, and seeks your approval.

167. Very well. I'll receive him in the next room.

168. There were many voices raised against Lennenkanpt.

169. Quite a few are pressing for an investigation.

170. But since the Alliance's ability to maintain order is in question...

171. I would recommend that we make preparations for military action at any time.

172. To think he couldn't continue to occupy a planet for even a hundred days.

173. I suppose there are those people who can demonstrate their abilities...

174. only when I hold a leash and chain on them.

175. But this provides justification for the complete conquest of the Alliance.

176. Do not gainsay me!

177. For the time being, Steinmetz will assume Lennenkanpt's duties as acting commissioner.

178. Send someone to negotiate with Yang Wenli for his release.

179. Anyway, there's a need to hear Lennenkanpt's side of the story.

180. We'll consider Yang Wenli again after that.

181. Keep a careful eye on the Alliance government.

182. If there is any unrest, Steinmetz is to use sufficient force to suppress it.

183. Very well.

184. As for me...

185. is it possible that I wanted Lennenkanpt to fail like this?

186. That might be true. When I was notified he had failed, I felt exhilaration.

187. Am I a ruler who lusts for blood?

188. But now, my course is set...

189. No, I'm not a ruler who lusts for blood.

190. I'm looking for confrontation of diginified wills and intelligence.

191. Is that all? Each clash teaches me something new.

192. Isn't that right?

193. August 1st...

194. Wahlen's fleet left Earth after completing its investigations...

195. and set course for the Imperial capital, Odin.

196. Julian and the others departed with them, in the Undutiness.

197. Is that the disc?

198. Our only souvenir.

199. Although it's probably worthless for rooting out the Earth Church...

200. it should be a great help in clearing Admiral Yang of charges of sedition.

201. That's true.

202. The Earth Church was unexpectedly fearsome...

203. Yes.

204. But is this really the end of them?

205. Dayan-Han Supply Base

206. There is no doubt that Admiral Yang and the others are headed here.

207. Our best option is probably to wait here for them.

208. True.

209. By the way, has there been any news of the whereabouts of Kaiser Erwin Josef?

210. Sorry, sir. There's been no news.

211. But our information gathering has been hampered by quite a few factors...

212. I know, that was a difficult question. But...

213. My greatest wish is to see the restoration of the Goldenbaums.

214. But for the children who grew up with this...

215. those who cared for them should take up that responsibility.

216. Yes, sir!

217. To lead Admiral Yang safely away from this war...

218. and to find Kaiser Erwin Josef.

219. These are the final two tasks in my life.

220. Battleship Ulysess

221. Katerose von Kreuzer

222. Cruiser Leda II

223. I hope that Yang Wenli's name will resound to its utmost.

224. But I don't think he gives a damn about that.

225. It's hard enough to get him to play the part.

226. Isn't that the attitude of a teacher with a student who didn't turn out well?

227. Actually, I used to think about becoming a teacher.

228. But I hated homework.

229. But you like giving homework, don't you?

230. Homework's like a mountain.

231. The Empire and the Alliance are in a precarious situation.

232. A battle can't be fought with military power alone.

233. There's also logistics, organization and morale.

234. I need time. This is happening too fast.

235. Announcing Lennenkanpt's death is a matter of timing.

236. If done wrong, the Imperial fleet will be all over us.

237. It was very impressive how you were able to predict how the government would react...

238. given the constraints of so little intel and such harsh conditions.

239. Well, perhaps it's because the government hadn't thought that far ahead.

240. Or maybe it was my whimisical orchestration.

241. Hey! You're telling us that now?

242. I'm more sure than ever that there was a government conspiracy...

243. and that there's a power struggle inside the Alliance government, then and now.

244. I wasn't particularly unfaithful to it.

245. Although you did waver a little.

246. If it was going to turn out this way, we shouldn't have abandoned Iserlohn Fortress.

247. We should've used the invincible fortress as a base for democracy.

248. We could've used it to gain concessions from the Empire for autonomy.

249. Though it probably wouldn't have been easy.

250. Are you sorry things turned out this way?

251. Not at all.

252. I'm not even thirty-two, and I'm already an admiral.

253. It's both a benefit and a consequence of being under Admiral Yang's command.

254. We'd better have him take responsibility.

255. Autonomy?

256. Now that they're aware of the Empire's ambitions...

257. Phezzan will be completely subjugated.

258. What's the missus been doing all this time?

259. She's compiling data on ours and Merkatz' fleets...

260. so that Admiral Yang can be ready to plan for battle at any time.

261. I see.

262. Everyone is better suited for some things than others.

263. She's better at this than cooking for her hubby.

264. The problem is with the hubby.

265. We place him in this high position in our group and all he does is take naps.

266. What a waste.

267. Isn't it just that you're annoyed that you've gotten yourself involved in this?

268. Phezzan...

269. If I send Boris Konev home, couldn't I gain the cooperation of the independent merchants?

270. He and his wife have figured out the proper defensive tactics.

271. But the problem is, they haven't thought about what happens afterwards.

272. We have to have them be more ambitious.

273. To do that we have to meet up with Julian's ship from Earth.

274. For that reason we need a base.

275. I must first meet up with Admiral Merkatz to establish a chain of command.

276. I come to the same conclusion every time.

277. But you know, being called a "rebel fleet..."

278. From my point of view, we're simply a group of wayward sons.

279. Frederica.

280. A cup of black tea, please.

281. Two months... only two months.

282. If things had gone as planned, I wouldn't have had to work for five years...

283. The seat of government will be moved to Phezzan.

284. Odin is too far from Alliance soil.

285. Count Mariendorf, my cabinet secretary, shall serve as my regent on Odin.

286. Military and diplomatic functions will move to Phezzan with me.

287. All other high-ranking officers will go as well.

288. However, High Admiral Kesler, the Commissioner of the Military Police...

289. and the person controlling our logistics and support, High Admiral Mecklinger...

290. and the subjugator of Earth, High Admiral Wahlen, are exempt.

291. Complete the transfer within the year.

292. I shall arrive there on September 17th.

293. Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer will leave by August 30th.

294. The others will travel with me.

295. His every word is filled with a craving for battle.

296. Perhaps he's a man who needs an opponent.

297. Or maybe he climbed too high, too fast.

298. No...

299. It's possible this man was born needing to meet an enemy like a Rudolf...

300. so that his life could have meaning.

301. Fraulein, haven't you written these letters a bit on the harsh side?

302. Yes. My apologies, sir.

303. A postscript.

304. Also, the relocation to Phezzan is not temporary.

305. August 8th...

306. Kaiser Reinhard announced the transfer of the capital city.

307. The move to Phezzan began to turn into reality.

308. The announcement made it clear that the stalemate...

309. between the Empire, the Alliance, and Phezzan was over.

310. Phezzan, huh?

311. I see. He wasn't thinking the same thing as us.

312. In the guise of the transfer of the capital city, launch an invasion.

313. What will that woman do?

314. That woman, Elfriede?

315. That aside, the Kaiser's real mistake was not in using Lennenkanpt...

316. but Oberstein!

317. Even in this case, don't you think he's the one pulling the strings?

318. That bastard. He may think he's a loyal retainer...

319. but at this rate, he'll eliminate those he disagrees with one by one.

320. And one day, he'll fracture the Dynasty!

321. Yes, I think so as well.

322. What worries me the most is the rift that is appearing between the Kaiser and Oberstein.

323. I wonder what will happen when their views don't match.

324. My heart feels strange...

325. Didn't I also once have plans to seize power?

326. No... but there is a method for that.

327. There is a nervousness in watching the interplay of Mein Kaiser's policies...

328. and the manipulations of Oberstein...

329. That year, on August 13th...

330. a planet near the Iserlohn Corridor...

331. declared independence from the Free Planets Alliance, and the Empire.

332. Its name was El Facile.

333. Preview of Next Episode

334. As Yang ponders the possibility of returning to the Alliance...

335. he hesitates to take up on the invitation by El Facil, which has declared independence.

336. In the meantime, the Imperial Force moves its main headquarters to Phezzan...

337. steadily preparing to re-conquer the Alliance territory.
