they conquered the 200 odd planets...
without much effort.
There were a total of 50 million humans on them.
We're the Liberal Army.
We will bring peace and equality to you.
We'll not let you suffer from the oppressive rule.
We've no food.
They took all our food away.
Give us bread and meat before we talk about peace and equality.
We'll give you food.
Valleymont, can you see all these?
What they need now is not political power.
They need food.
But...
It will not solve the problem by just giving them food.
I heard you are well-versed in Botany and Civil Engineering.
That's right.
Can you think of something?
Yes, I'll think of something.
No, I'll think of something good.
Good.
After 3 more days,
these fields will be the same again.
Right. This is all Valleymont's efforts.
Please don't say that.
I was just following Herwood's orders.
Is that so?
Stop.
It's just a little difference.
I'm Valleymont.
There's not enough water supply in R12.
So you have to go increase the supply.
Look at you, a workaholic.
Major.
We've a small gathering tonight...
and we hope you will come. Gathering?
That's right. The fields have recovered.
But...
You don't have to worry about food supply.
We have some reserves.
I don't think I'll go as it's not the right time.
It's all right.
It's just a small gathering.
The Army only invited you.
And those soldiers over there.
This is a rare opportunity.
Let's go.
Therese, ask Major to come.
Please come, Major.
Cheers.
Please make yourselves comfortable. Thank you, everyone.
Don't worry, Sir.
We'll change this planet into a amusement park.
That'll depend on you guys.
I can't think of how to thank you, Liberals.
We're different from the Empire Army.
Valleymont.
Therese, did your father tell you to come after me?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
Don't say this, Sir.
Did anyone offend you?
No, I had a drop too much.
Actually...
my father wants me to keep you company.
I knew it.
Your father's a great military advisor.
Even though Father told me to do so, I think...
How long can we be at peace with the Liberals?
I'd a dream since I was young.
I want to find a star with no one there...
and bring my wife and children to live on it.
Because of this,
I studied Botany and Civil Engineering.
But I don't know why l ended up in the military.
I never thought that what I've learnt...
can be of use now.
You're great.
I also had the same dream.
Therese, you...
To feed 50 million people 90 days worth of food,
you need at least more than 200 types of seeds.
40 mounds of man-made protein, 60 hydroponics farms...
and vessels to transport them.
You need this much...
if you want the people to be free from hunger.
The numbers will increase in future.
You need at least 50 million tons of grains to feed 50 million people.
Even if we remove all the supply from lserlohn,
we can only supply 7 million tons of grains.
I understand.
I planned this resupply.
I am the only one who is aware of...
the consequences of this...
over consumption.
I can only protest to Marshal Lobos.
Our army is facing great danger.
You mean all the requests by the troops?
I feel they are asking too much too.
As this is the war strategy, we just have to do it.
The problem is lserlohn does not have enough resources.
I just have to report to the Empire.
Then the Empire should help us.
Can these resources reach the frontlines?
What do you mean?
I mean the enemy is trying to burden us.
This is not right.
You mean they are going to attack the ship?
And cut our supplies?
I think this is the advisor's idea.
We have control from here to the frontlines.
I understand.
Since Field Marshal Lobos has approved this senseless proposal.
I will report to Heinessen.
Yang, you must come back safely.
It's not worth it to die in battle.
Then it's never going to end.
The Empire is just trying to deplete our finances.
It's wrong to treat the people as tools.
But since we have decided to liberate them,
this is the best way.
Hence I propose we retreat.
What do you think? I agree.
I disagree.
If we can save them,
they will be even more against the Empire.
The people will stand with us.
That's right. There's no need to retreat.
Let the Chief speak.
Before frontline battles are confirmed,
we can't predict our position.
If we were to retreat,
this proves that this battle is a mistake.
We'll become the laughing stock of everyone.
We'll also lose the support of the people.
We'll lose in the next election.
Contact Uranff of the 10th Fleet now.
Yes.
Uranff, we're glad to see that you're fine.
You are Yang.
Pleased to meet you. Is there anything I can do for you?
I thought of giving up and retreating.
Retreat before fighting?
The enemy is scorching the land to starve us.
At this rate,
we'll be like the way Napoleon was defeated in Russia.
So, I'll retreat.
The enemy is waiting for a chance to attack.
If we retreat,
will we give them the chance to send troops?
We must prepare for retaliation.
If the army start to starve, it's too late.
I understand. Perhaps you're right.
I'll give orders to retreat.
How do you intend to tell the Commander?
I intend to ask Bucock to tell Marshal Lobos.
I believe it'll be better for him...
to say this.
All right. Let's do it this way.
I hope we can make it.
The resupply ship has left Heinessen for the frontlines.
This is the lifeline of the enemy.
You must defeat the enemy now.
Yes.
Kircheis.
I'm doing this because I want to win.
It seems like Kircheis does not agree with the strategy.
The ship led by Scott...
has 500 10-million ton ships...
and 26 guard ships.
Missiles are coming towards us.
We can't deal with them. It's too much.
Our supply ship is under attack.
Is it too late?
What? The supply ship is attacked?
Yes. It's destroyed.
So we cannot receive supplies at the moment.
We have to use local supplies.
What are local supplies?
Are we going to rob?
This is the right of an Admiral.
My job is to relay the orders...
of Marshal Lobos.
What does this mean?
I'm not sure either.
We're just following orders.
There is some change to the strategy.
How can this be?
There's no extra food on this planet. Not even a piece of bread.
You're lying.
I know you must be hiding some food.
And you're having a gathering.
This is... Search!
Wait!
Father.
What's happening?
I didn't say anything.
You're lying. You must have betrayed us.
No, I didn't.
There must be food in this house.
Search carefully.
You betrayed everyone, didn't you?
I just wanted to...
do my duty as a soldier.
What did you say?
Valleymont, if you are going to defend them,
it's going to be nasty.
Valleymont, don't forget you're part of the Alliance.
Don't go.
If you take the food away, what are we going to live on?
I think you must have hidden some elsewhere.
Who knows how much you're hiding from us?
Help us think of something.
I was worried there would be this day, so I asked my daughter to watch you.
Please.
Don't move.
I'll speak to Admiral Herwood.
It's no use.
The Admiral has ordered that all those who disobey orders,
will be captured.
Herwood tried to...
Sir.
We just have to fight it out with them now.
Wait!
We did a lot for you too.
I don't want to listen to you Liberals.
You're just barbarians.
Don't take my things away.
Leave some for the children.
Everyone.
We belong to neither the Empire nor the Alliance.
Whoever can give us food is our friend.
Whoever takes our food away is our enemy.
Wait!
You can't defeat the soldiers.
Why sacrifice yourselves?
Do you want us to starve?
Yes.
How can you starve? Don't you have land?
What are we going to at before the harvest?
There will be nothing to eat by tonight.
Come with me.
Wait, Stop...
Let us deal with him first.
Don't come near me.
Valleymont. What has he done wrong?
Hasn't he done enough already?
Therese.
Sorry.
You should be satisfied. Come with me.
No. I must think of something.
Major Valleymont.
Call me Francis.
Therese. I'm no longer a Major.
Francis.
We want our food back.
Are you trying to revolt?
Just give us the food and everything will be fine.
So arrogant.
He doesn't know he's in danger.
Oh no! We're too late.
There's chaos in the 7th Fleet's territory.
There's also chaos in the 3rd, 8th and 9th Fleets' territories.
Everyone is holding on to their supplies due to the military.
They are also collecting from the people food.
Marshal Lobos is really evil.
Are there chaos?
I know. There's no problem with the Alliance's finance.
Just lend it to them. Don't worry.
The brat is really smart.
Not anyone can do this.
What one will do to win the war.
Not only that.
The people of the Empire never treated the Alliance as enemies.
But they seem to hate them now.
This is the whole point.
So we are helping the Alliance?
Looks like we will be busy.
It's no good to let him win too much.
We must make sure the Alliance and the Empire fight till death.
When they are frustrated over the waste of resources,
Phezzan can then control their economy.
It will be an economic war in future.
That's a good idea.
This war is going to be interesting.
I wan to see the Chief Commander.
You're just an advisor. I don't want to talk to you.
What important matters do you have?
I don't have to tell you anything.
Then I can't pass the message for you.
No matter how high your rank, we must go by the book.
What did you say?
I hope to explain to the Chief Commander,
the requests for retreat by the commanders.
I think you don't have to say anymore.
Even the war hungry Bucock has retreated.
That's a little surprising.
If it were me, I'll never retreat.
Well, you can try.
I will return to lserlohn Fortress. You shall go to battle.
It's impossible. Stop this.
You're talking about the impossible.
You're not willing to leave the safety, right?
Are you trying to insult me?
You should not just talk but show some results.
Instead of giving orders, why don't you...
try it yourself?
What happened?
Commander, sorry to let you see this.
What happened to him?
The doctor told me he contracted Transient-Hysteria.
He has gone blind temporarily.
Transient-Hysteria?
Yes.
It's a symptom caused by over-excitement.
It is caused by the paralysis of the nerves.
His sight will recover in 15 minutes.
But it may reoccur.
I think we just let him rest first.
Thank God it's not serious.
But why does the 13th Fleet...
wants to retreat?
I agree unconditionally.
Let's wait and see.
We have to have the Chief Commander's approval.
I know this is rash of me.
Can you arrange for me to meet Marshal Lobos?
Please.
Marshal Lobos is taking a nap.
No one dares to wake him unless the enemies are attacking.
I'll tell him when he wakes up.
A nap?
All right. I understand.
As a frontline commander,
it's my duty to protect my men.
Please tell Marshal Lobos when he wakes up.
Bucock is concerned if he'd a good dream.
Commander.
Idiot!
Francis.
Stop destroying these lands.
Francis, stop.
What have I done in the past?
Francis.
Let's go. Therese.
Let's go somewhere where there's no one. Come with me.
Francis.
I've had enough.
Isn't that my home?
It can't be.
Just trying to scare you. But...
Father.
We're too late.
Why must they do this?
Tell me, Francis.
People are usually made use of,
and then abandoned during war times.
It makes one think if lives are valuable at all?
Mittermeier, Reuentahl, Wittenfeld, Kempf Mecklinger, Wahlen, Lutz.
You will stick to the plan and destroy the Alliance Army. Do you understand?
Yes.
Hold on!
As our Victory is assured,
Iet's celebrate first.
Let's drink a toast to the mighty Odin.
Cheers.
