Wake up.
It's time to get up.
Get up and brush your teeth,
and prepare breakfast.
Tea and milk... And fried egg.
3 pieces of wheat toast to share with the Commander.
To share with...
To share with the Commander...?
My biological clock...
I'm so tired and yet I woke up.
I wonder if Commander will get up in time?
Commander, it's 7 o'clock.
Get up. Your breakfast is ready.
Let me sleep for 5 more minutes.
No, 4 and half minutes will do. No, 4 min and 15 seconds.
Why are you always like this?
As a commander, if you're late
how can you command your men?
The men can still work without the commander.
The enemy is here.
If you're still lying in bed while the enemy attacks,
every historian will laugh at you in future.
The enemy sleeps too.
I think the future historians are not born yet.
Good night. At least I can see peace in my dreams.
Commander.
How's the commander?
If the officer wakes up early,
his men will probably have a hard time.
Is there such a thing?
You mean Commander?
He was still a Vice Lieutenant during El Facile.
He couldn't even wear his beret properly.
He looked like a greenhorn.
When he fled,
everyone thought he was down and out.
They looked down on him.
But he had nothing to command their respect.
I've been thinking...
a helpless and arrogant man like him,
who sleeps without taking off his uniform,
mumbles when he just got out of bed...
and bites his toast without buttering it.
If I don't like him, no one would.
What I like is not a hero.
Perhaps I had a hunch then.
I think you're right.
You're right, Lt. Greenhill.
But we don't know what Commander Yang is thinking.
So you're here. It's time for breakfast.
This is the last meal on the ship.
Yes.
Is that Phezzan?
I wonder we're the enemy or the friend?
Lieutenant Junior Grade Mintz,
you've many things to learn.
You'd some great achievements
but they're useless in our eyes.
If you think you're lucky, you can forget about it.
Yes, I'll remember what you said.
I think there'll be many things I don't know,
please guide me along.
Well, you're pretty good with words.
You're not young but pretty smart.
Is your neck stiff?
This is the territory of the enemy.
Even the interior of the office is like that.
Interior of the office?
Most of the people here are Truniht's men.
I think I must be more careful in future.
I may bring trouble to Commander Yang if I make any mistakes.
He's so handsome.
But he's too young.
What's going on?
Nothing, I thought
if Lt Colonel Poplan is here,
what would he say?
Welcome.
This really suits you.
This will only look good on certain people.
But you look really good in it.
It's too expensive.
You must be kidding, Sir.
It's a good price for the quality.
Isn't it cheaper by 20 Marks last month?
I think you remember wrongly.
Look at the electronic report.
The fluctuations of the prices are clearly recorded inside.
I'll take it then.
Can you give me a receipt?
The prices here are stable and the quality is good too.
There isn't many incidents either.
The social and economic structures can't be bad either.
It's a whole different from our country.
Our country is full of bloodshed,
killings and bloodsuckers.
There're all sorts of people.
Where do you want to go next?
So we go according to the book
and make a call at the embassy?
It's incredible than we're in the same city as our enemy.
You should have look from there.
Those people who have been tailing us have gone back to report.
I think we'd better return to the hostel.
Don't forget there's a welcome party tomorrow.
Commander Yang's past example made me realize
that it's a tough job.
I'd better take a rest.
What's your impression of Phezzan?
If you ask me,
I think the streets are very clean
and there're pets everywhere.
I never thought you'd notice such things.
How about the women?
Everyone is pretty and lively.
You're really observant.
Do you know?
We Phezzan have everything from beauties to
systems for changing planets.
You can buy anything if you've the money.
But if it's you, you don't have to spend a single cent.
A smile from you will charm any woman.
I'm so envious.
I'll try that.
But talking about trade,
I heard that Phezzan corridor and even its autonomy
are sold to the Empire.
I'm worried about this.
What did you say?
I said I'm worried whether Phezzan will sell its
corridor to the Empire.
Jr. Lt. Mintz, you're too imaginative.
The Empire...Ha ha.
It's impossible.
You're worried that the Empire will go through Phezzan Corridor
to enter the Alliance?
This is such a joke.
But I think...
your thinking is too ridiculous.
Phezzan corridor is a large stretch of calm sea.
Only commercial and trade ships use it.
No military ship has ever passed it.
Who made this law?
Humans make the law, humans will also break it.
Especially Reinhard von Lohengramm.
He never work according to laws.
Will this man break this law
just to win and conquer?
Who can guarantee he won't?
Is it possible?
That's too dangerous.
I always thought even if Reinhard is so ambitious,
the people of Phezzan won't stand by to betray their country.
But..
you said Phezzan sold itself to the Empire.
This prediction is too daring, Jr. Lt. Mintz.
Too daring?
I think to Phezzan,
independence is not highly valued.
It should at least be nearer.
Don't underestimate us.
Jr. Lt. Mintz.
You're here to attend the party, not to make a speech.
Don't forget who you're.
I'm sorry.
He's too young. Please don't mind him.
It seems like Commander Yang knows what we're thinking.
How should we deal with him?
Well, he can't do anything.
Can he do anything?
Whatever it is, he said a lot of things
he shouldn't have said to our guests.
I think even drunkards will remember these words.
If these words are made use of by ambitious people,
we'll be in trouble.
It's too late to say these now.
Don't worry about it.
I'm worried because of you.
How've you been? Is the Grand Bishop fine?
Alcohol, pills and women.
What you want, are the pleasures of the world.
Even you are no exception.
But as a leader on Earth,
I wonder if you'll be forgiven for your sins?
You forced me to take those pills.
You use unscrupulous means to make me take those pills
and make me lose control.
You'll get your retribution one day.
Then you must inform me.
See if I'm struck by lightning or by stones?
Are you afraid that your conscience will prick you?
Conscience?
If Rudolph had a conscience, he wouldn't have become the king.
Rubinsky became the leader of Phezzan through unscrupulous
means too. Only capable people can win.
The principle of ruling is power, not righteousness.
If you have power, you need not fear the bishop.
Therefore I say,
I don't give a care about religion.
I'll let you enjoy this alone.
As long as I can become the leader,
there's no need to be envious.
What are you talking about? I don't understand.
You still don't get it?
I wan to hand over the Earth Sect and Planet Earth to you.
I want to kill Rubinsky and let you take over as Head.
It'll not be their era in future.
Let the feuds of 800 years be eaten by the devil.
It's our world from now on.
You really don't know your limits.
You think you can handle the Earth Sect
with our ambition and ignorance?
This is such a joke. If you're a dog,
have a dog's dreams. Don't think of handling the elephant.
Then you won't harm yourself, understand?
You've shown your ugly side.
If you're still unwilling to help me,
I'll make use of these tapes.
This may be out-dated,
but it's effective.
Everyone often uses this method and so it becomes out-dated.
I urge you to make a decision soon.
You dog.
What?
You mean more than a hundred people have died?
Right.
This training has been carried out like a real war.
More than 4 million people took part.
there shouldn't be many people who died.
I intend to capture Baldic
and leak out news about attacking lserlohn.
But Baldic wants us to protect his position.
If we can conquer the Alliance,
Phezzan will become more important than before.
I don't want to have partial rule over Phezzan then.
You should understand this.
If Phezzan can belong to us,
this is, of course, the best.
But this is not in line with the plan.
Let everyone hate Baldic.
I understand.
There's no other way. To let Baldic bear
the responsibility of failing to keep order,
I think we'll let him be the leader for now.
Yes.
The personnel for the Ragnorok war was announced.
Firstly, send 3 ships to lserlohn Fortress.
Let Reuentaul lead the troops.
Let Lennenkanpt and Lutz be his assistants.
This will divert all attention to lserlohn.
We'll make use of this chance to control Phezzan corridor
and attack lserlohn.
I'll leave this to Mittermeier to handle.
Commander Muller will take charge of the second stage.
This is Commander Muller's first battle eversince he recovered.
Commander Muller who is used to long wars, will follow after
Mittermeier. This shows how brilliant Lohengramm is.
Commander Muller hopes to join in the war
to erase his embarrassment.
I'll take charge of the third stage.
The men include Altringen Brauhitz, Kalnap, Cruneman
and Trung, 5 commanders of the flagships. There is also
the chief advisor, Oberstein upon the Brunshild flagship.
The leader is Admiral Schneider, assisted by Lucke.
The leader of the guards is Kissling.
Hilda is also included
in Brunshild.
Steinmetz will take charge on the 4th stage and Wahlen the 5th stage.
If the Empire enters the Alliance
and Phezzan corridor is sealed,
the ships of the 4th stage will turn back and remove obstacles.
As for the 5th stage,
the ships will attack Phezzan and the Empire.
Besides, the ships of Wittenfield and Fahrenheit.
will be support forces and wait for orders.
Their ships are good at attacking
but when they have to attack lserlohn,
they should be able to do their job.
I'll leave it to Admiral Eisennach to surround lserlohn.
Although Admiral Eisennach has never achieved any credit
he can distract the defense
and lend support to the landing troops.
He ahs always done his job well.
He has never let Lohengramm down.
Kessler will become the Defense Commander of the capital...
and Mecklinger will be the backup Commander. They'll stay in Odin.
We start from Reuentaul's ship...
to attack lserlohn.
The war will start on 5th November.
Among the information,
only troops attacking lserlohn are announced.
The aim is to let the news travel from Phezzan to the Alliance.
It's pretty serious now.
But we've a stable the fortress
and a hero.
I think the Empire has no way of entering the Alliance.
You're right.
We can rest assured.
Senator,
Is there anything, Commander?
I can't just let you sit you,
hoping that spring will come.
Iserlohn may be undefeatable,
and we've a hero that always wins.
But I think Reinhard must be fully prepared...
to challenge us.
We must think of this.
Commander, what are you worried about?
I'm worried that this time...
they're just trying to distract us
Will their real aim be Phezzan?
I'm impressed with Commander Bucock's idea.
But I don't think Phezzan will give up its neutrality
and its 100-year tradition
and cooperate with the Empire. Firstly,
if Phezzan does so and increase the strength of the Empire,
won't this be a threat to Phezzan itself?
I think they should have thought of this.
Right.
Besides, Phezzan has invested a lot in the Alliance,
and has many rights.
If the Alliance is taken over by the Empire,
their past efforts would have come to nothing.
Do you think they want to lose out?
Right.
Everyone is right.
Phezzan has invested heavily in the Alliance.
But they invested in our mines,
Iand and enterprises,
but not on the Government itself.
To the people of Phezzan,
if their investments can be protected,
they will not be affected even if
the Alliance is destroyed.
Or do you think
Phezzan has invested in our Government? Are you trying to
say that our officials have accepted bribes from Phezzan?
Commander, I advise you. Be careful of your words.
That's right.
No matter what,
his worries are unfounded.
Since there is no evidence,
this is just empty talk.
Yes.
It's ridiculous.
We'll just tell Commander Yang to increase the defense,
to protect lserlohn corridor.
If Commander Yang has any needs,
we'll give him support.
Then we shall do so.
We'll end the meeting here then.
Sorry, Commander Yang.
I thought of something.
We can send troops to ambush at the corridor
before the enemy reaches here.
When they attack our the fortress,
we'll attack from behind and force them into the range of Thor Hammer.
We can destroy them.
I see.
This may be effective.
But I wonder when the enemy will approach?
Then it's useless.
You're right.
For now,
we may succeed if the top can increase surveillance satellites.
The satellites have been destroyed
since Geltsburg Fortress attack.
We can only depend on surveillance ships.
The cases have not been recorded.
We've appealed to the council many times.
They don't like Commander Yang?
No, the problem is,
the efficiency of the bureau is too low.
It'll only get more serious.
Not just difficulties, expenses will also increase.
The Government is unaware of all these.
All they do is just tell us to increase our defense.
We can only send men to spy on them.
How's the situation now?
The Ulysess has gone on patrol.
What happened to our commander?
He's always so moody.
I think he was not promoted.
Or did he quarrel with his wife?
I heard he lost to Poplan while playing cards.
No, it's true he lost...
but he lost to Admiral Schenkopp.
How can that be?
You're all wrong.
The fleet captain is in love with Julian.
As you know,
Julian has been sent to Phezzan
and she is unhappy about it.
He's so pitiful. Everyone must treat him well.
It's terrible to fall out of love.
The enemy has appeared.
There're too many ships to be counted.
There's no way to count.
What should we do? Should we fight them?
You fool.
Iserlohn will never lose.
That's because we never fight battles that we have no
confidence in. What are you doing?
Shouldn't we flee?
Are you waiting for death?
We've entered the alert range of the enemy. Should we go after them?
No.
Let them go back and talk about it.
Besides our enemy is not one ship.
Our enemy is Yang Wenli and lserlohn Fortress.
Our morale will be boosted only if we meet our enemy.
Right.
Let this be the first song...
of the Alliance.
This spring, when Geltsburg Fortress attacked lserlohn,
they also sent large troops.
It seems like this time there're more.
Commander Yang.
I think this is only a part of Reinhard's strategy.
Commander, I think we don't let
Ulysess go on patrol in future.
He always lures the enemy back.
This is subjective.
Only when Ulysess goes on patrol,
we'll be more alert.
This can be good.
We'll just prepare for war as per normal.
I can't persuade you.
Commander.
Even if the enemy has many troops,
we can still protect lserlohn.
Iserlohn is self-sufficient. I think it can hold on.
But if the Empire breaks through Phezzan,
this will put Heinessen and other places in danger.
The top will ignore the situation and force us to give support.
Then I don't what we should do.
It's worse to have our own people betray us
than to face our enemy
The commander will have no choice but to give support.
Right.
But if we retreat amongst the confusion,
the worst thing will be if lserlohn is taken over.
We may be chased by the enemy...
and be trapped.
Then it won't be easy to leave lserlohn.
If the Gale Wolf, Mittermeier attacks us,
when we leave lserlohn,
we'll be attacked front and back.
You can't just stand here and worry.
By the way,
inform Heinessen and tell them the enemy is here,
and it's not a one-time attack.
This involves Reinhard's strategy of attacking lserlohn.
Request for tighter defense at Phezzan, understand?
Yes.
This is not much use but I've done my best.
Commander Bucock is fighting alone in Heinessen.
We must give him some support.
