4. GALACTIC HEROESCopy !req
5. On November 1st of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
6. Kaiser Reinhard and his party,
escorted by the Wahlen Fleet...Copy !req
7. entered the Phezzan Corridor,
and were met by Mittermeyer.Copy !req
8. I have to talk
to the Chief Commander.Copy !req
9. Retire from the
room for a while.Copy !req
10. Mittermeyer.Copy !req
11. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
12. I'm sure you understand
why I kept you in here.Copy !req
13. Reuental is an extraordinary
admiral of this era.Copy !req
14. Within our military...Copy !req
15. there are only two people who
stand a chance against him - you and me.Copy !req
16. That's why I kept you in here. I assume
you understand what that means.Copy !req
17. I fully understand that
it'll be difficult for you.Copy !req
18. You and he have been
friends for over ten years.Copy !req
19. For that reason, I give you the right
to refuse my orders just this once.Copy !req
20. Although that might be
disrespectful to you, but still...Copy !req
21. Please wait, Your Majesty.Copy !req
22. Your Majesty, I'd like you
to change your mind...Copy !req
23. and in exchange, I will return to
you all of my accolades to this day.Copy !req
24. Would you please
hear me out?Copy !req
25. Change my mind?Copy !req
26. What do you mean,
"change my mind" ?Copy !req
27. Mittermeyer, aren't you
misunderstanding something?Copy !req
28. The one who should change
his mind is Reuental, not me.Copy !req
29. Reuental rebelled against me.
I didn't rebel against him.Copy !req
30. Your Majesty, I beg your
pardon, but I must say this:Copy !req
31. I don't believe Reuental
rebelled against you.Copy !req
32. My accomplishments and loyalty
cannot be compared to his.Copy !req
33. Please give him an
opportunity to explain himself.Copy !req
34. An opportunity?Copy !req
35. Between the time I escaped from
Uruvasi through Lutz's self-sacrifice...Copy !req
36. and the time I was rescued by Wahlen,
how much time do you think there was?Copy !req
37. If Reuental wanted to
proclaim his innocence...Copy !req
38. he could have done it
more than a hundred times!Copy !req
39. Respectfully, Your Majesty...Copy !req
40. but when Fleet Admiral Reuental
was slandered this past February...Copy !req
41. you trusted him and
didn't even flinch.Copy !req
42. Is the fact that I was attacked, and that
Lutz lost his life, a slander by someone?Copy !req
43. It's not like I want
to punish Reuental.Copy !req
44. There probably are things
he wants to explain.Copy !req
45. Though it isn't nearly as deep
as the friendship between you two...Copy !req
46. there was a friendship
between him and me.Copy !req
47. Then why doesn't Reuental come
to me and vindicate himself?Copy !req
48. While I was on a humiliating
escape flight, what was he doing?Copy !req
49. He didn't even send
a letter of apology.Copy !req
50. He didn't even write a line
of condolence for Lutz!Copy !req
51. As such, how does he think he would
persuade me of his righteousness?Copy !req
52. Your Majesty, this is difficult to say, but the
reason Reuental hasn't come before you...Copy !req
53. is that he's afraid that someone
would obstruct his effort.Copy !req
54. To whom are you
referring as "someone" ?Copy !req
55. You may take
it as a slander...Copy !req
56. but I'm referring to the Chief Minister of
Military Affairs, Fleet Admiral Oberstein...Copy !req
57. and the Vice-Minister
of Internal Affairs, Lang.Copy !req
58. Are you saying that they would dare to ignore
my orders and stand in Reuental's way?Copy !req
59. Your Majesty, I beg you...Copy !req
60. could you please demote those
two from their positions...Copy !req
61. as a sign of your intention
to reconcile with Reuental?Copy !req
62. If you could do that...Copy !req
63. I will stake my life to persuade Reuental
to come and kneel down before you.Copy !req
64. I humbly beg your forgiveness
of his moment of indiscretion.Copy !req
65. I fully realize that I'm mistaking the means
for the end, but there is no other solution!Copy !req
66. Must I make such an
outrageous concession?Copy !req
67. Are you telling me to demote
high-ranking retainers...Copy !req
68. just so I can bring back a retainer who rebelled against me, instead of punishing him?Copy !req
69. Who is on the
throne of this nation?Copy !req
70. Me or Reuental?Copy !req
71. Your Majesty...Copy !req
72. Although I'm not on good terms with
the Chief Minister of Military Affairs...Copy !req
73. I'm not advocating for
his demotion because of it.Copy !req
74. Even if you temporarily
remove him from his position...Copy !req
75. you could reassign him to the
position later and restore his honor.Copy !req
76. But if you miss this chance, the possibility of
Reuental's return to you will be forever lost!Copy !req
77. I understand
your reasoning...Copy !req
78. but do you think the Chief Minister
of Military Affairs will agree to that?Copy !req
79. I won't let him suffer
the dishonor alone.Copy !req
80. I will resign from my position of
Chief Commander of the Space Fleet, too.Copy !req
81. With that, I would think the Chief Minister's
displeasure might be somewhat assuaged.Copy !req
82. That's ridiculous!Copy !req
83. After you leave the post,
who will lead the Space Fleet?Copy !req
84. Must I lose all three existing fleet
admirals from the nucleus of our Forces?Copy !req
85. There should be no concern with the Space
Fleet if you entrust High Admiral Muller with it.Copy !req
86. As for Chief Minister
of Military Affairs...Copy !req
87. although it may not
be my place to say it...Copy !req
88. Kesler or Mecklinger
are equal to the task.Copy !req
89. There should be
no worries at all.Copy !req
90. Are you saying you want to start
retirement while still in your early 30's?Copy !req
91. I never thought that the finest of
the fine admirals of our Fleet...Copy !req
92. would follow Yang Wenli's
attitude toward life.Copy !req
93. I will keep your
recommendation in mind.Copy !req
94. Putting that aside, what
will you do with my orders?Copy !req
95. I haven't heard your response yet.Copy !req
96. Are you going to fulfill
them, or not fulfill them?Copy !req
97. If you don't do it, it'll only mean
that I will proceed to it myself, but...Copy !req
98. I humbly submit to
your Imperial order.Copy !req
99. Right about the time Kaiser
Reinhard returned to Phezzan...Copy !req
100. a letter from Fleet
Admiral Oskar von Reuental...Copy !req
101. addressed to "The
Imperial Government," arrived.Copy !req
102. The fact that it was addressed to "The Imperial
Government" and not to Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
103. indicated an aspect of the
sender's complicated feelings...Copy !req
104. but it displeased Reinhard.Copy !req
105. What enraged him even
more was its content.Copy !req
106. "Taking advantage of the
Kaiser's unfortunate illness..."Copy !req
107. "... the Chief Minister of Military
Affairs, Fleet Admiral Oberstein..."Copy !req
108. "... and the Vice-Minister of Internal Affairs,
Lang, are monopolizing the government;"Copy !req
109. "They ignore the Kaiser and are
purging people as they like."Copy !req
110. "I, Oskar von Reuental,
cannot overlook it..."Copy !req
111. "... and if necessary, I will utilize my
forces to remove their tyranny."Copy !req
112. When did I let Oberstein or Lang
monopolize the government?Copy !req
113. If Reuental were right,
there would be no way...Copy !req
114. he would have been appointed to be
the Governor-General of Neue Land!Copy !req
115. Does he need to denigrate me
so much to justify his treason?Copy !req
116. From Reuental's side,
it was only natural...Copy !req
117. considering that Reinhard himself
had no instance of misgovernment...Copy !req
118. to denounce the sins
of his subordinates.Copy !req
119. But what Reinhard detests the
most is to follow other people...Copy !req
120. or to be controlled
by other people.Copy !req
121. The anger he felt for his injured pride
was fierce and grave - and justified.Copy !req
122. Contact Wahlen and Bittenfeld.Copy !req
123. In this upcoming expedition, we'll
need them to guard each flank.Copy !req
124. Yes, sir.Copy !req
125. But what about Admiral Muller?Copy !req
126. Muller is still not fully
recovered from his injury.Copy !req
127. Besides, I need him to stay
by His Majesty's side.Copy !req
128. And in case I lose the battle, he'll have to
be our last shield to protect His Majesty.Copy !req
129. I'd like him to
stay behind this time.Copy !req
130. Then it looks High Admiral Muller won't
see any action in this upcoming battle.Copy !req
131. There is no way
you will be defeated.Copy !req
132. For Reuental's sake,
I want to lose.Copy !req
133. Sir...!Copy !req
134. No, I guess I'm
being too overconfident.Copy !req
135. Even if I fight to the best of my
ability, I probably can't defeat him...Copy !req
136. I don't agree with that.Copy !req
137. You're free to believe what you believe,
but I fall far short of Reuental.Copy !req
138. Sir, that's...Copy !req
139. I don't measure up to him.Copy !req
140. I'm a mere soldier.Copy !req
141. But Reuental isn't.Copy !req
142. He is...Copy !req
143. Even if what you say
weren't just your humility...Copy !req
144. you're still going to fight against
Fleet Admiral Reuental, aren't you?Copy !req
145. In order to avert a situation where the
Kaiser himself would lead the expedition.Copy !req
146. We cannot tarnish the
Kaiser's sacred hands...!Copy !req
147. Beyerlein understood what
his superior meant to say.Copy !req
148. If Kaiser Reinhard himself led the
punitive expedition against Reuental...Copy !req
149. the Kaiser's hands would be
tarnished by a traitor's blood.Copy !req
150. That means there will be doubts in the soldiers' belief in the image of Reinhard as Mein Kaiser...Copy !req
151. who has been perfect and
without any stain up to now.Copy !req
152. Unlike the one caused by the fact
that he couldn't defeat Yang Wenli...Copy !req
153. an even greater fissure might be
brought about in the Imperial Forces.Copy !req
154. Mittermeyer had to suppress his own
feelings and prevent such a denouement.Copy !req
155. Even if both Reuental and I fall in battle,
the Galactic Empire will continue.Copy !req
156. But if some misfortune
befalls the Kaiser...Copy !req
157. the peace and unity that have
finally arrived will end overnight.Copy !req
158. Even if I can't win,
I cannot lose, either.Copy !req
159. Sir, that would be troubling.Copy !req
160. Supposing both you and Fleet
Admiral Reuental were to fall...Copy !req
161. there would be no one to
stop Fleet Admiral Oberstein...Copy !req
162. even if he starts
dominating the government.Copy !req
163. Well, if both Reuental and I are gone and he
becomes the sole existing Fleet Admiral...Copy !req
164. he might just
automatically retire, too.Copy !req
165. After all, it is his own belief that a
nation does not need a Number Two.Copy !req
166. Sir, even if you're joking...Copy !req
167. Well, let's stop
the hypothetical talk.Copy !req
168. Anyway, get in touch
with Bittenfeld and Wahlen.Copy !req
169. Yes, sir.Copy !req
170. Oberstein is fine.Copy !req
171. But there's one, that guy...Copy !req
172. I absolutely
cannot forgive him!Copy !req
173. Before launching the expedition, I must remove that vermin, for the sake of His Majesty...Copy !req
174. That Reuental has finally
showed his true colors.Copy !req
175. Oh, well, actually, Chief Minister of Military
Affairs, you knew it all along, didn't you?Copy !req
176. But still, such disloyalty,
such blasphemy to His Majesty!Copy !req
177. This is why I've
said all along...Copy !req
178. that Fleet Admiral Reuental appeared
to have unsettling schemes about him.Copy !req
179. The Kaiser didn't believe me at the
time, and I was quite mortified.Copy !req
180. But now that this has happened, it's
proof that my suspicions were right...Copy !req
181. Lang.Copy !req
182. Yes, sir.Copy !req
183. Regarding this scandal
in Neue Land...Copy !req
184. I may pay a visit to Fleet
Admiral Reuental as a special envoy.Copy !req
185. That must be
troubling for you.Copy !req
186. It must be dangerous,
I would assume.Copy !req
187. I have no need
for your sympathy.Copy !req
188. After all, you're
coming with me.Copy !req
189. What?Copy !req
190. No... but...Copy !req
191. Prepare yourself for
departure at any time.Copy !req
192. I'm already prepared
for such a departure.Copy !req
193. If I appear before Fleet Admiral
Reuental, I'll be killed instantly!Copy !req
194. After all, the Fleet Admiral hates
me for some unknown reason.Copy !req
195. I don't think he hates
you more than he hates me.Copy !req
196. B... but I belong to the
Ministry of Internal Affairs...Copy !req
197. so unless I have the permission of the
Chief Minister of Internal Affairs first...Copy !req
198. I can't do
what I please.Copy !req
199. I'll return to the Ministry to consult with
him, so for today, I'll excuse myself.Copy !req
200. No way!Copy !req
201. I don't care if Oberstein
gets killed by Reuental.Copy !req
202. Really, it's even desirable in that it takes care
of one of the obstacles to my future promotion.Copy !req
203. If both of them get killed at the same
time, that would be most gratifying.Copy !req
204. But no way will I be involved in it!Copy !req
205. I have to make sure, by any means possible,
that I won't have to accompany him.Copy !req
206. F... Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer...!Copy !req
207. Oh, Sir Vice-Minister, who's
presently enjoying his best days...Copy !req
208. remembers the name of
someone insignificant like me?Copy !req
209. I am most flattered.Copy !req
210. If you'd like to talk to the Chief Minister
of Military Affairs, he's in his office...Copy !req
211. The one I have issues
with is you, Vice-Minister!Copy !req
212. Or should I call you the Chair of
the Internal Security Department?Copy !req
213. Either way, from now on, you'll have no need
for a title you had while you were alive!Copy !req
214. Listen!Copy !req
215. Don't you dare move...Copy !req
216. until I get there!Copy !req
217. S... s... someone...Copy !req
218. Kesler...Copy !req
219. Please stop,
Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer.Copy !req
220. Vice-Minister Lang is still
His Majesty's retainer.Copy !req
221. Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer, even though you're
incomparable in your battlefield accolades...Copy !req
222. if you engage in a personal vendetta
inside the Ministry of Military Affairs...Copy !req
223. as Superintendent of
the Military Police...Copy !req
224. I'll have no choice
but to stop you.Copy !req
225. Don't you understand?Copy !req
226. A personal vendetta?Copy !req
227. Superintendent of the Military Police, the
way you phrase it is not what I intend...Copy !req
228. but if you say it's a personal vendetta,
I don't care if it's seen as such!Copy !req
229. If I let this Lang character live, a termite
who's wearing the mask of a human being...Copy !req
230. I won't have peace of mind
while I go on this expedition!Copy !req
231. I'm telling you now!Copy !req
232. To rectify Lang's injustice, we must
do it in accordance with the law.Copy !req
233. Otherwise, the foundation on which the
Lohengramm Dynasty was built will crumble.Copy !req
234. You're the most important
of its important vassals...Copy !req
235. the most brilliant of
its brilliant admirals.Copy !req
236. It's not like you don't
understand that, do you?Copy !req
237. I respect your opinion,
Superintendent of the Military Police.Copy !req
238. But the law has
always been powerless...Copy !req
239. against that termite who's
trembling over there, hasn't it?Copy !req
240. I don't care
if I'm punished...Copy !req
241. as long as I can deal him
the punishment he deserves!Copy !req
242. Calm down, Fleet Admiral.Copy !req
243. You're a clearheaded man.
It's not like you to act this way.Copy !req
244. If a misfortune befalls you, who would be in
charge of ensuring the glory of Golden Lion?Copy !req
245. Gale Wolf, are you going to
neglect your grave responsibility...Copy !req
246. of carrying the nation,
driven by personal rage?Copy !req
247. The Kaiser is a
sagacious ruler.Copy !req
248. If Vice-Minister Lang is guilty of a crime,
he will, by all means, punish him...Copy !req
249. in accordance with Imperial
rule and national law.Copy !req
250. Please, Fleet Admiral, trust
me and fulfill your own duties.Copy !req
251. I understand.Copy !req
252. I'll leave it to you.Copy !req
253. I apologize for
acting unbecomingly.Copy !req
254. I'll make amends for having
caused a commotion at a later date.Copy !req
255. Oh, you saved me, Superintendent
of the Military Police!Copy !req
256. But Fleet Admiral
Mittermeyer's crime is...Copy !req
257. Guest House of the Former Phezzan Autonomous GovernmentCopy !req
258. Imperial Fleet Provisional HeadquartersCopy !req
259. Fraulein Mariendorf.Copy !req
260. Your Majesty, welcome home.Copy !req
261. I'm glad to see
you safe and sound.Copy !req
262. I'm sorry to
have worried you.Copy !req
263. Lutz is dead.Copy !req
264. I wonder how many people
have died for my sake, now.Copy !req
265. Three years ago, I thought there was no
longer anyone left whose death I would regret.Copy !req
266. But this year alone, there are already
three - Fahrenheit, Steinmetz, and Lutz.Copy !req
267. It is far too harsh, even as
a punishment for my idiocy.Copy !req
268. Those Fleet Admirals are not Fate's
instruments for punishing you, Your Majesty.Copy !req
269. I can't believe they held grudges against
you as they departed for Valhalla.Copy !req
270. Please don't blame yourself.Copy !req
271. I think I understand, but...Copy !req
272. Fraulein, have you been well?Copy !req
273. Yes, thank you,
Your Majesty.Copy !req
274. Reuental sent a message addressed
to "the Imperial Government..."Copy !req
275. but are you
aware of it, Fraulein?Copy !req
276. Yes.Copy !req
277. Hilda also understood why Reuental advocated for the removal of Oberstein and Lang.Copy !req
278. Since he's hoping for sympathy
from the other Imperial vassals...Copy !req
279. it certainly made sense,
both politically and strategically.Copy !req
280. But Hilda also understood that it
further injured Reinhard's pride...Copy !req
281. and put the
situation into a quagmire.Copy !req
282. Presuming him to have
been weakened by illness...Copy !req
283. was like blowing wind into
the young Kaiser's fierce fire.Copy !req
284. Besides, even if
they were punished...Copy !req
285. she couldn't believe that Reuental
would withdraw his forces.Copy !req
286. That was because she felt the concerns she'd
had at the time of the Battle of Vermilion...Copy !req
287. when she asked
Mittermeyer and Reuental...Copy !req
288. to attack the Alliance's capital planet
Heinessen, had merely become reality.Copy !req
289. Respectfully, there is something
I'd like to talk with you about.Copy !req
290. Setting aside the matter of Chief Minister
of Military Affairs, Fleet Admiral Oberstein...Copy !req
291. the Vice-Minister of
Internal Affairs, Lang...Copy !req
292. has committed more crimes
than meritorious deeds...Copy !req
293. not only against the nation but
also against you, Your Majesty.Copy !req
294. You know that his
character and behavior...Copy !req
295. have earned the enmity of
people around him, don't you?Copy !req
296. That goes without
saying, Fraulein.Copy !req
297. I also know that this
Lang character is a small fry.Copy !req
298. But even if a single mouse is
feeding on the grain in storage...Copy !req
299. the damage is
insignificant...Copy !req
300. and if the habitation of such a
creature cannot even be tolerated...Copy !req
301. the Galactic Empire will
become too small a place.Copy !req
302. Concerning Vice-Minister Lang...Copy !req
303. there are many capable bureaucrats and
out-of-office talents who could replace him.Copy !req
304. If you remove him, Fleet Admiral Reuental will
lose one of his reasons for taking up arms.Copy !req
305. The other admirals
will be satisfied, too.Copy !req
306. But it's not like Lang
has committed a crime.Copy !req
307. Just because he's hated, it doesn't
mean it's right to punish him.Copy !req
308. No, Your Majesty, he has
unequivocally committed a crime.Copy !req
309. Could you please take
a look at this?Copy !req
310. The document detailed
the incident...Copy !req
311. where the previous Interim
Governor of Phezzan, Nikolas Boltik...Copy !req
312. had been arrested as an
accomplice in the bombing murder...Copy !req
313. of the Chief Minister of Civil
Engineering, Silverberche...Copy !req
314. and then died mysteriously while in prison,
was a false charge orchestrated by Lang.Copy !req
315. Fraulein, is this investigation something
you instructed someone to conduct?Copy !req
316. No, this is something that the
deceased Fleet Admiral Lutz...Copy !req
317. who witnessed Vice Minister
Lang's domineering ways...Copy !req
318. and perceived him to be
a danger to the nation...Copy !req
319. asked High Admiral
Kesler to investigate.Copy !req
320. Lutz did...?Copy !req
321. I see...Copy !req
322. How charitable of Lutz not
to have abandoned me...Copy !req
323. Instead, he even sacrificed
his life to save me...Copy !req
324. I was an idiot.Copy !req
325. I was trying to protect the
rights of a small-time crook...Copy !req
326. but instead, I was causing misgivings and
frustration for my talented loyal vassals.Copy !req
327. It's probably too
late for Reuental.Copy !req
328. Still, I must take some kind of measure
right now that will not waste Lutz's loyalty.Copy !req
329. Do you think that
will do, Fraulein?Copy !req
330. It can't be...Copy !req
331. It was just one night.Copy !req
332. But I can't think it
could be anything else...Copy !req
333. Hilda was bewildered.Copy !req
334. But even in her bewilderment,
she made up her mind...Copy !req
335. that she should not
tell Reinhard about this.Copy !req
336. I won't be back
for a while.Copy !req
337. Darling...Copy !req
338. Wolf, I respect
Fleet Admiral Reuental.Copy !req
339. That is because
he is your friend.Copy !req
340. But if he becomes your enemy,
I will hate him unconditionally.Copy !req
341. Please come home safely, Wolf.Copy !req
342. As your reward, I'll cook for you your
favorite bouillon fondue every day.Copy !req
343. I'll be embarrassed
if I get fat.Copy !req
344. Make that once a week.Copy !req
345. Don't worry, Eva.Copy !req
346. Besides, we don't yet know for
sure if that battle is inevitable.Copy !req
347. His Majesty has arrested Vice Minister Lang,
and with that, Reuental might be satisfied.Copy !req
348. So if you're going to pray, I want you
to pray that we won't have to fight.Copy !req
349. Please do that, Eva.Copy !req
350. On November 14th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
351. the Phezzan Corridor was
filled with the ships...Copy !req
352. of the Imperial Space Fleet commanded
by Fleet Admiral Wolfgang Mittermeyer.Copy !req
353. They amounted to 42,770 ships
and 4,608,900 soldiers.Copy !req
354. The High Admirals under the Fleet Admiral's command were Bittenfeld and Wahlen.Copy !req
