Capital of Free Planets Alliance Heinessen
This day marks the memorial ceremony held in honour of soldiers...
... who died in the war of Astate.
If you don't get up now, you won't be in time for the memorial service.
Forget it, I never wanted to go anyway.
The stars of today's memorial ceremony should be those dead soldiers.
Thinking back, none of us is the star of this memorial ceremony.
The man in the limelight is Defence Defence Secretary Truniht His Excellency.
He wants to put up a political show, and I'm not going to join him in this.
Commodore Yang is not coming?
and is too tired. Ah, I don't realize
That won't do.
Yes, I know.
If there's nothing else, I shall go back to my seat then.
How come I've never heard of the Commodore being injured?
But I heard that it's just only some minor scratches.
You go and rewrite it for me now.
Rear Admiral, Defence Secretary has briefed.
Could you pass the Commodore this message?
You want me to go?
That's right. By the way, do me a favour.
Since military school days he has used such lousy tricks.
A great hero's embarrassing moments, surely you wouldn't
Marshall Sitolet is okay with it.
But Truniht is enraged.
The Astate hero is the talk of the town.
Who's the hero you are talking about?
Well, the man's who talking to me now.
How can this be? You haven't been watching news, right?
That's what all those reporters have been calling you.
Please don't say that. I'm a soldier who failed.
You dislike to be seen as such a hero so you deliberately absent yourself.
You want me to listen to that fellow's vulgar and loathsome speech,
then I would probably fall sick too.
Alright, so be it.
Rear Admiral Caselnes also doesn't admire the Secretary of Defence much.
... none wouldn't be so shallow as to admiring Truniht, that scoundrel.
Of course I'm not that shallow either.
I've to trouble you to hand me a cup of Serone tea.
Help me to add a little brandy.
Drinking liquor at such early hours?
The tea brewed by Julian still tastes the best.
Yesterday, the school enquires us...
That's right.
There's no law that states a son must follow in his father's footsteps.
If I don't assume a military post, I'll need to repay this sum of money.
Then just pay them back.
Sorry, I can't possibly increase your burden anymore.
You're still a kid, don't say such arrogant words.
A kid just have to rely on an adult in order to grow up.
But... What's the matter now?
Commodore why do you detest soldiers so much?
Well, It is not that I hate soldiers.
I just hate war.
If it's possible,
I truly wish to break away from this profession sooner.
Then I can return to my history research.
I'll talk with you again when I'm free.
It's time now.
Forget about it.
As a soldier, you should at least watch the relay.
Fellow citizens and military personnel.
Today, we come to attend this occasion and for what purpose?
To comfort the 150 thousand heroes who perished in Astate planet.
They sacrificed their own lives to defend the country and liberty.
good fathers, nice sons and fine lovers.
They actually had the right to lead lives of happiness.
But now, they gave up their rights to lay down their lives for the country.
I would like to ask everybody.
What had this 150 thousand soldiers died in the battle for?
Isn't it the lousy strategies of the commandeering division?
There can only be one answer.
They had sacrificed their lives for their motherland and freedom.
Everybody, we must remember this well.
Only our native land and liberty,
are worthy to be protected with our own lives.
This mighty land is a state of freedom.
My friends, do not be afraid of death.
Let's fight for this land of liberty.
Let's battle for our motherland.
Long live Alliance, Long live Republic.
Overthrow the Empire.
Long live Alliance, Long live Republic. Overthrow the Empire.
Long live Alliance, Long live Republic.
In any era, there would exist political careerists.
Overthrow the Empire.
of course people object to the state policy's freedom.
But any intuitive citizen should know that...
Real liberty is to be together with the motherland.
Everybody...
Jessica.
What is she doing over there?
Secretary of Defence, I am Jessica Edwards.
Fiancee of Jean Robert Lapp, who was on the 6th fleet's advisor.
He perished in the Astate war.
No, his ex-fiancee.
Regarding this matter... I truly feel regretful.
However...
Defence Secretary, you don't have to apologize to me.
Like what you've just said, a glorious death in the battlefields.
Oh, I see...
Actually Jessica, you are a fine example to the families of the deceased.
How nicely you've put it.
So a man can also act in such shameless ways.
I've come today to seek the Defence Secretary's advice on a question.
Oh. Alright.
Never mind.
As long as I'm able to answer, you just go ahead and ask.
I would like to know where have you placed yourself?
My fiance had gone to the battlefields to protect the country.
Now he has already departed from this world.
You who only eulogize their actions, where have you been?
Miss.
Where has your family been to?
I have offered my fiance to the state, and here you stand
speaking loftily about the necessity to sacrifice for the land.
Your speech appear to sound logical and faultless.
However, how much have you contributed?
Guards, this lady is creating trouble. Get her away now.
Let me go!
Julian, prepare the car right away.
Yes.
Commodore, a call from Lt. Commander Attenborough.
Attenborough, you didn't attend the memorial ceremony?
Seem like, we can't continue our pretence.
If this goes on, Jessica will be in danger.
As long as Truniht keeps his silence,
those guys from Patriotic Knight Corps wouldn't make any move.
That's a radically nationalistic organization.
You can also say they're Truniht's shadow troop.
I'm going to drive my car out now.
I'll pick you up along the way. Wait a minute for me.
Sorry to trouble you.
Let me go!
How pitiful.
Extreme woes has driven her mad.
However, fellow citizens of Free Planets Alliance...
Never lose yourself to sorrows. We must fight for our freedom.
Military band, play the anthem. Start performing the national anthem.
I can walk by myself.
Need any help to call a cab?
A liberal country?
Free Planets Alliance?
We sympathize with your misfortunes.
But your attitude back then, was absolutely self-centred.
A rebellion to the State.
Jessica, get on the car quickly.
A car from the City Traffic Quarters.
The man in the car is Attenborough from the Allied Army.
What did you say? Lt. Commander Attenborough?
Jessica's fiance, that Captain Lapp's,
It appears that this Yang is a dangerous fellow.
Good.
You must have felt that I'm a troublesome woman.
How can it be?
You must have thought nothing of this.
No, no such thing.
Commodore, someone is already waiting in front of the hotel.
What do we do now?
Looking at the situation now,
they must have recognized me from the car plate number.
We'll talk later at my place. Senior officers'
Commodore, suspicious characters are outside.
What?
These guys are from Patriotic Knights Corps.
What is it?
We're Patriotic Knights Corps that truly love the State.
Now we want to impeach you.
What does this count?
Isn't there anyone who dares to restrain them?
Who is the mastermind behind the Patriotic Knights Corps?
Everyone knows.
No one dares to pick a fight with them.
You've better behave yourselves.
Darn! Warfare's going to start again.
Julian, get me the computer.
Alright.
The switch for the water hose, which one is it?
Why be afraid of this bit of water? Fire alarm at
Silver bridge Street 24, please dispatch rescue team quickly.
Bad luck. This will get rather undue attention.
Retreat immediately!
This trick is real impressive.
A fire alarm goes off. Of course, the situation is different.
If Allied Army is not dealt with a fire,
Then I'll have to trouble you to be a cab driver once more.
You're better than I previously thought. That's really great, Commodore.
This concerns my personal freedom so I can't help taking more care.
This aspect is really important.
You want a glass? There's no need.
Behold, you Astate hero, what do you want to tell me?
I'd like you to ensure Jessica Edward's personal safety.
Jessica Edwards?
You mean that pitiful lady?
Is she in some kind of trouble?
The men from Patriotic Knights Corps have been troubling her.
Oh.
I may be the Secretary of Defence.
But I've no right to instruct those fellows not to do that.
Let me see.
Thank you.
Many reporters are still waiting for me.
