To make Galaxy Gandera's
Second planet Wassei, a permanent base,
And to feed 2000 millions soldiers Empire army
must transport large quantity of goods from their country.
The transport guard is a Rear admiral Jon.
We must remember.
The combat effectiveness of Alliance is not destroyed yet.
Replenishment is something often neglected.
But cutting off the replenishment,
Is the most effective way to force enemy to retreat.
We must not forget this.
And we must keep in contact with the main troop frequently.
When you sense danger must ask for help at once, understand?
Yes, I will obey your command.
If the mission fails,
I am willing to give my worthless life to the Marshal.
For Marshal to use as material for correcting the military
discipline. You can set your mind at ease.
Marshal, let me go instead.
Jon,
You have to responsible for your words do you know that?
Yes!
Get yourself a task it's really stupid.
Report, there are about one million seven thousand fleet.
What?
Trung. Yes.
Lead your fleet to welcome the replenishment troop.
Yes.
But, is there news about the attack?
No, because Jon did not send any information.
I got it.
Reinhard's worry has come true.
When Trung's fleet arrived,
the Alliance has gone.
Leaving only the wreckage of transportation ship,
And 30 spoilt guard ships floating in the air.
Attacking the replenishment line will be the strategy adopted by
the enemy. Such an important matter and you are not aware of it
And still dares to brag.
You make us lose so many valuable goods,
No room for explanation. Kill yourself.
Yes...
I did not give a clear direction I am responsible too.
But this battle is not of a short term invading or plundering.
Since it is a permanent conquest, we must be careful.
For this matter, I have worked out a plan,
We should destroy the enemy's military strength completely.
That is we must destroy Yang's fleet.
Commander Steinmetz.
Yes!
Yang's fleet did not return to capital Heinessen,
I wonder where did he go?
Lead your fleet and locate him.
Once we find out where he is try your best to destroy them.
Yes, I will set out immediately.
Steinmetz's fleet Falcon.
There's movement from the enemy.
Admiral Fisher,
Form the shape of a bulge,
When Attemboroug has finish the formation,
Get near purposely let the enemy discover us.
I will leave the method with you.
Destroyed the replenishment troop is very successful.
But this success is the first step towards a tough battle.
Because the more battle we win we will face tougher enemy.
After thinking, it's rather stupid.
Strange, Julian. Why are you here?
This is because...
This is because that...
This is because Lt. Mintz got some information from Phezzan.
He feels that he has the responsibility to hand it over to
Commander Yang, to help you decide the strategy.
Yes.
Who is that?
Who else?
Of course it's Lt. Louis Mashengo.
That I know.
I am asking why is he on my fleet?
This is because of Mintz.
He is an outstanding guard.
Why is everybody here?
What do you take the military discipline as?
The non-regulars are not from my fleet.
Precisely,
this place has suddenly turn into a big family.
It's not easy to control now.
What about you?
You are the Fortress Affairs Officer, why are you here?
Because I know it's very troublesome, thus I can ignore it.
I am a guardian.
The enemy's fleet.
Position, the central district between the Stars Lacas and
Teipura, there's a long way to the normal route.
According to the information from Phezzan,
it's confirmed that there is a black hole.
Diameter is about 9 km.
The largest diameter is about 3200 light seconds.
By calculation it's about 9 billion 6 thousands km,
I think within 10 billion km we better keep away from it.
At a distance of 10 billion km,
The enemy is patrolling,
as they are getting near us, they form a bulge shape.
Those fellows most probably are trying to use the black hole
as backing. What are they up to?
They might control the dangerous district at the back...
preventing us from getting to their back and attack them.
They could be pretending that they are being forced into a corner...
The so-called desperate fight.
Since this is the case,
Let's adopt the concave method,
Anyway it's not possible for the enemy to escape from the back.
Commander Lennekanpt.
Yes.
Send the army to support Steinmetz's fleet.
Yes.
Move on slowly.
Expand the wing and form a semi-circle.
Alright! All fleets! Full speed ahead!
Break through the central of the enemy.
Reporting. The central has been break through.
What?
All fleets to make a 180 degree turn.
Rear fleets, pay attention to enemy's attack.
Or we will be sucked into the black hole.
Commander.
The formation of the enemy is not a defence technique.
We must counter their formation.
By adopting a semi-circle concave shape,
it'll make the central very weak.
It allows the enemy to break through easily.
This is the intention of the enemy.
We have fallen into their trap.
I have never seen...
such a successful central break through from the back.
It's beautiful.
Steinmetz is a great Commander.
His formation is formed after calculation,
but was backfired.
Don't disperse.
Since the situation has changed,
we will wait for it to change again.
All fleets, adopt a dense formation.
Focus on breaking through the central quick.
It's now,
All fleets, focus the attack on the formation front.
No, disperse.
There's enemy at the back.
We may be surrounded by the enemy.
What?
The rear? What's the distance?
Report in terms of time.
Estimated contact time about 3 hours later.
Then use 2 hours to break through and 1 hour to escape.
Thus we have to enhance the attack,
Force the enemy into the black hole.
Fire the Wagner.
The power of the aircraft carrier is not enough to escape from the
gravity range. Pay attention to the gradiometer,
Speed up the production of abnormality.
Open the entire main engine.
No, we can't resist the gravity pull.
Help.
We are falling into it.
Commander...
Fleets, move towards 4 o'clock direction.
Commander?
Break through the boundary along the diameter of the black hole.
Take the Double Curved Route,
We can escape faster by getting a push faster than the fleet.
This is to make use of the black hole to move round the route?
Yes.
But we will be off guard to the enemy's attack.
We have no choice.
To face the firing of enemy,
and to be pulled into the black hole and perish,
This is the best way.
Yes.
Fleets, turn right wing back, in highest speed.
They are desperate if they're using this method.
Report, fleet at the rear about 70 million km away.
Flag confirmed. It's battleship &&&.
This is Lennekanpt's Fleet.
Oh, that Mr. Lennekanpt.
The enemy ahead is losing it.
Do we want to work according to plan and leave the battle field?
Fire the main canon thrice at the firing range of the enemy.
After firing, escape towards the nearest Galaxy.
But we must be slow and orderly.
Lennekanpt's fleet &&&
Report, the enemy starting to escape.
Don't let him get away. Highest speed.
No, wait.
Fleets, retreat, and keep a distant.
Alright, it's now.
Fleets, counterattack.
Retreat.
Fleets retreat at once and repeat formation.
2nd march 1300hr
The losing Lennekanpt's Fleet,
has finally resumes order.
Yang's Fleet really escaped this time.
I don't understand.
Why did the enemy stop attacking and retreat to the rear?
If the attack continues,
the situation may change.
Because earlier on,
At the defence attack in lserlohn, Lennekanpt...
was tricked and had suffered.
Thus I purposely revealed more weak points...
to make him think it's a trap. Then he will retreat.
So it's a psychological issue.
Yes.
But now,
I wonder how many orphans and widows will blame me,
bearing all these responsibilities alone is rather heavy.
Going to hell once is not enough...
If Marshal goes to hell,
I will follow you.
Stop talking nonsense,
I hope you can go to heaven,
Use a fishing rod from there fish me up from hell.
So you must do more good deeds.
I will try my best.
Really, this belongs to Yang's fleet,
even if you have a dozen of lives is not enough.
One against two battleships. I have never heard of this.
I think for your case,
Every life needs a dozen of women for accompany.
You are wrong.
It's that dozen of women who needs me.
Don't forget. I am very attractive.
Forget it. If you are not around,
those women will discover the good points of other men.
Both of you have attended a lesson.
There are many hidden talents around.
Why would I give you your present status?
Think about it and set out again.
Yes.
So, you want to change Commander Lennekanpt.
Appoint him as the Commander of lserlohn Fortress..
Then get Commander Lutz to replace him?
Yes.
But, I am against this decision.
I have 3 reasons.
Firstly
If we just change Commander Lennekanpt,
and allows Commander Steinmetz to continue to stay,
the other one will feel it is unfair.
Secondly, since we have punished Jon,
we have achieved the aim of warning.
If we continue to use harsh punishment,
it will affect the morale of the people.
Thirdly, lserlohn's Commander...
is more of a demotion.
This will result in discrimination.
You are right,
but to be fair, if we transfer both Commanders out,
our odds of winning is lowered.
So you just want me to blame them?
Yes, you are smart.
A smart person like Yang,
will not place a high importance on victory.
He should be trying to overcome the disadvantage of the strategy.
What does he want?
Why? Have you thought of anything?
Tell me.
I remember Lohengramm once said, if the Alliance
want to change the disadvantages in their strategy,
They will beat Lohengramm...
on the battle field.
So, on the surface,
Yang looks like he insists on the strategy's victory,
Actually he wants to lure Lohengramm out, these are
preparations to force Lohen-gramm to fight with him directly.
This is logical.
It makes sense.
If Lohengramm is defeated,
we will lose our Commander.
Losing a loyalty figure,
afterall, who are we fighting for?
We will be puzzled.
This is what the enemy wants.
And who's the next successor?
We don't have a conclusion now.
But no matter who's the successor,
he won't get the same support as Lohengramm.
No more alcohol...
If possible, I would like to have more.
I am sorry.
the supplier's mood and tolerance level are very poor.
They can't always give high ranked officers special treatment.
It doesn't matter for the wine and beer,
but they stop supplying meat and bread.
That will affect the soldier's morale.
A hungry army can't win.
People take part in revolution and rioting...
At the time when there is no enough food.
Especially now our army has invaded the territory of enemy,
If the soldiers feel uneasy it is serious.
We better win this battle before the soldiers starve.
According to the information from Phezzan,
Alliance set up 84 replenishment base in the country.
Since they attacked our replenishment troop,
We shall do the same.
Let's attack their replenishment base.
Snatch their goods to replenish our needs.
Wahlen's Fleet Salamander
Strong observing type Spartanian.
Is this appropriate?
No matter what, the more the merrier.
We need a chance to boost the soldier's spirit.
Report, there's a Fleet in front.
It could be transportation troops.
The one leading is a round container.
Transportation ship leading?
If that's the case,
They can't handle the attack from the front?
This domain is out of our strategy's route,
They didn't expect that we will be here,
therefore they were careless.
There is no order in contact battle.
Great, seize this chance to snatch the container.
Fleets, move on in semi-circle.
The acting skills of our fleets are getting better.
Do not chase after them.
Our aim is to collect supply.
Collect all the containers given up.
Do we want to check the goods?
Alright...
Report, the enemy turns back.
They refuse to give up?
Protecting their containers while retreating.
Captain, follow closely at our back.
Adopt attack formation.
The enemy is retreating again.
Alright, leave the battlefield this way.
What? The fighters are hiding in the containers?
Knowing that we want the goods, they set a trap.
Give up the goods.
Bomb those containers.
Fleets, full speed ahead.
Focus on attacking the remaining fleets.
Liquid helium exploded.
The containers contain liquid helium.
The enemy is coming over.
Fleet attention, escape at highest speed.
We were tricked.
We made it...
Don't go after them.
Everyone has his strong point.
Lohengramm's anger and tolerance,
have reached its limits.
They have insufficient goods,
Soon they will launch an attack.
He may use his strong determination and great strategy...
Forget it.
Even people like Wahlen is tricked.
Precisely he is good at deployment that he was tricked.
This is similar to Steinmetz and Lennekanpt.
It's so shameful.
But I discovered something very important.
I spied on their movement after the battle,
and found out that they do not have a fixed base.
They changed the base after each battle.
It has been confirmed that it's them. We'll fight and move
at the same time. This is bad.
That means the whole territory of Alliance is his base.
The regular fights as a guerrilla...
Even a place like lserlohn Fortress, Yang can give it up.
Maybe he is not rigid about the base.
But to be so thorough. That is scary.
One fleet...
Just one fleet alone has upset us.
He can appear as he likes anyway and anytime.
We shall capture all the 84 bases,
or destroy them.
This is just theory.
If we are to launch a full attack,
then Planet Gandera will be empty,
This will only make the mistake of dispersing the force.
We are tricked by Yang,
Because he attacks individually, isn't it?
Does that mean we shall do nothing about it?
And see those fellows in action?
I didn't say that.
We don't have sufficient time. This is the truth.
So we have to lure Yang out.
Use a trap to lure him out and destroy them.
That's the only way.
The problem is what bait to use for him to be hooked?
Yang's fleet action must have a pattern.
If we can analyzed his pattern, we should be able to
find out which is the next base that he will appear.
Are you an idiot?
To analyze his movement pattern...
will take years.
If Yang behaves like a cat in heat, running wildly, we shall
just ignore him and attack the Alliance's capital directly.
Then we shall send majority of the troops home.
And the unharmed Yang's fleet,
will appear from somewhere to rebuild Alliance.
To beat this, we have to travel again.
As long as we beat Yang's fleet,
The Alliance's army will become useless.
On the contrary, if we can't win him,
it'll be difficult to get the final victory.
You people are so afraid of Yang.
Like a sheep afraid of a wolf.
Do you worry that you'll be mocked by the future generation?
What I am afraid of is not that Yang,
but the distance between our country and the frontline
If you don't realize the seriousness of it,
I have nothing to talk to you.
You need to see me?
Gather the entire Commander the plan has been decided.
In less than a month,
Yang's fleet will disappear from the Universe,
Tell them to wait and see.
I ask you,
We have cut across the deep valley of Universe,
Why do we want an expedition of over 1 million light years?
Is it to establish the illustrious name of Yang?
Your pride as a soldier...
Has it grown wings and flies off?
I feel bad for smirching the Marshal's Victory records.
But, no. That's the reason why I dare.
Allow me to use new victory
To make up for my failure in the past.
I will be expecting,
But I think it's time for me to set out personally.
Reuentaul.
Yes.
You lead the fleet move towards Liobello Star.
Capture the replenishment base and control the surrounding route.
Understand? This is just a simulation.
Others will lead their fleet and leave me.
See that I am isolated,
I believe Yang will appear.
By then set an escape-proof net to catch him.
So, Marshal wants to be the bait,
With only the direct troop,
Intend to fight with Yang, right?
This is too dangerous.
At least let me be your frontline troop,
Iet me stay with you.
Don't worry.
Lutz do you think I will lose if...
I hold the same military strength as Yang?
No, it's not that.
We are not worry about that.
Although Yang is a good soldier,
He is just a Fleet Commander,
He is not worthy for you to fight him personally.
Marshal, please reconsider.
According to the information,
Yang has just been promoted to Marshal.
I'm also a Marshal of the Empire.
Hence, it's not wrong to say we are on par.
In the whole Universe, no one can compared with Marshal.
I got it,
Since Marshal has decided,
We shall not make any more comments.
But how are you going to handle the fierce attack from Yang,
Is it possible for us to know a little,
So that we can set our mind at rest.
I have thought of that.
Let me ease your worries.
Emil, push that out.
Yes.
Look,
A thick layer of thin paper can absorb the wine completely,
To handle Yang, I intend to use this method.
With his military strength, he can't break through my defence.
So when he stop attacking,
You shall turn back and surround him.
Wipe out his military strength,
And bring him to me. Life or death,
I must let the chief of Free Planets.
Look at how Yang ended up.
I want them to sign a contract to give up the city.
Yes!
Force the Alliance government to surrender,
and they will command Yang...
to stop unnecessary resistance.
By doing so,
We can win without a battle, right?
Which will also mean,
I didn't win Yang at all.
No, no, Miss Mariendorf.
You must understand, I can't lose to anyone.
People respect and depend on me
Because I never lose.
I did not get the support from the soldiers and civilians
because I am a supported by the Military.
Alright, we'll do what you say.
But let me go with you.
No, Miss Mariendorf.
This time you shall stay here and wait for good news.
This battle is different from the rest,
There's nothing to observe.
But, Marshal...
If anything happens to you,
How am I going to face you father, Franz von Mariendorf?
All troops to surround Yang. Wipe them out...
What a great strategy.
But,
If we can't turn back successfully what shall we do?
Running about dare not to fight a proper battle,
This Yang is despicable.
Emil, you are wrong.
The Famous Admiral' only applies to those who deserves it.
They should know when to retreat and when to escape.
Those beasts who only know how to charge...
can only be the assistant of the hunter.
But, till today you've never escape, haven't you?
I will if there is a need for it.
Presently there is no need for it.
Emil, don't follow me.
Nobody can imitate me.
And it will be harmful to you.
But if you learn from people like Yang,
at least you won't become a fool.
No, I remember that you want to be a doctor.
I told you some nonsense...
Because I don't have other ways to survive,
No. I can have other ways of survive.
But I have decided to take this route since young.
I want to take back what has been taken away.
I've just taken my first step, but...
Go to sleep.
Children need to dream.
This is what you want,
I've done according to your wish.
You will appear before me, won't you?
Yang...
Losing a best friend for one and a half year...
And now, it will be exciting to face his greatest enemy, Yang Wenli
All of a sudden, Lohengramm feels happy.
Battle after battles
