20th June
Reinhard succeed the throne,
and becomes Emperor Reinhard l.
Sieg Mein Reinhard. Long live the New Reich.
Long life Emperor Reinhard. Long live the New Reich.
Mariendorf.
Your Highness.
You must be tired.
How's your first day as a Minister?
I am sorry,
Please pardon me, everything is new to me.
Your Highness, how do you feel?
I want both the ceremony and celebration to be simple,
And it is just as planned.
I think it's good.
Those grand banquets of the Old Empire State,
are wasting the country's budget.
Since it's establishing a country,
We can't save on the ceremony.
But it don't have to be very grand.
To emphasis on this point,
Today's ceremony will be the guideline for the future events.
We'll need your help in many aspects.
Sorry to trouble you.
Yes.
Father.
You must be tired.
Oh, Hilda.
No, I am not tire at all.
I may not get to sleep tonight
if this continues.
Good wine. It should be from year 410?
Really? I am not too sure about that.
Father, what's wrong with you?
Nothing, just that in the past, you were never interested
in such things. In the past?
If I am interested in wine at a young age,
Wouldn't it be a headache to you?
No, not only wine.
Things that are well-liked by the gentile ladies,
You have no interest at all.
For example the jewellery, the gown, horse racing or the flowers.
Not true, I know a lot about flowers,
and horses as well.
What you know is which mountain has which type of flower.
You get all these knowledge by going there personally.
Let's talk about the horses.
You are not enjoying horse racing but horse riding.
We don't need professional knowledge
in all fields, right?
Jewellery and wine has enough experts.
All we need is good judgment to differentiate a trustworthy expert.
You are right.
But you have been like that since young,
you don't hang around with other ladies.
Frankly, I was worried.
But, maybe this is the reason why...
you are what you are today. It's indeed not easy.
Oh yes, is there any person whom you admire?
Please do not tease me.
Choosing of Minister is done by His Highness personally,
But I did recommend some names.
Oh yes, talking about Heinrich.
He said he was too sick to attend the ceremony.
If it's possible, he hopes that...
His Highness could go to his place.
So?
Can you do him this favor and make this request to His Highness?
Alright, I will try,
But since Heinrich has said it.
Alright.
There are things that I need to settle.
See you.
20th June, the day of the Empire State's inauguration,
In a corner of Free Planet Alliance,
there is a ceremony too.
What are you doing? Why aren't you ready?
Vice Admiral, pleas talk to him.
He said he hates these starched gown.
What time is it now? And you're still throwing your temper.
I can't stand you.
But it's such a formality...
Blame yourself for it, If you have gotten
married before retirement, all you need is your uniform.
You choose to drag on,
so, put it on, quick! If you let the bride
wait for too long it will be her hold over you forever.
If we get marry during the service,
We have to invite the officers from the government.
We will have to listen to long and boring speech.
I prefer to keep it within a few friends. I like it simple.
Under the watch of Empire State,
Being too extravagant will arouse their suspicion.
And there are people watching.
Alright, alright.
All you care is being presentable.
Will this do?
Look at this,
I think uniform suit you best.
We have no choice now.
Look at you, at least comb your hair,
Button up your shirt.
You are so troublesome.
Congratulations, congratulations...
So pretty.
Congratulations, congratulations...
They are so matching.
The bride and bridegroom
Iook like a princess with her attendant,
Do you agree?
Oh yes, Julian.
I heard that you setting off aren't you?
Yes.
Captain Konev is waiting for us at the Universe port.
Oh yes.
Captain wants me to thank you for the new ship.
That's a very good ship.
It is converted from the transport ship.
On the treaty with Empire State,
I include it on the list of ships to be disposed.
Things to disposed on document
are brand new,
Konev should have nothing to complain about.
Oh yes, has he named the ship?
Captain Konev is hoping to name it Belusca,
He can't do that. That will attract unnecessary attention.
That's why Commander Yang has named it The Undutiness.
What? Undutiness?
Unfillial son.
It suits a runaway son.
It's his style.
It's not running away,
but just going for a tour.
I will be back soon.
You must return safely.
My daughter is waiting for you.
But frankly,
You have just escape from the army,
And now you choose to be bound by marriage.
You are indeed a weirdo.
Things that some bachelor takes 10 years to figure out,
needs only one week of marriage life.
Let's wait for the birth of a philosopher.
But, from my point of view,
I think the greatest victory in senior Yang's life
is this bride.
This is a miracle.
To be frank, nobody will want to marry...
people like senior,
Commander,
You actually lead these people return in victory.
They are traitors.
This is how my personality is mould.
Yes, you are right.
Hey... bridegroom.
How can you leave your bride alone?
Come over and apologize with a kiss.
Kiss... Kiss, come over quick.
Come on.
Kiss, kiss...
Best wishes to you.
I wonder how are the commanders?
First Lieutenant, so you are here.
Please go to the bridge now,
The Empire Fleet's spot check.
Stop! Or we shall attack!
Stop!
Stop! Or we shall attack!
Stop!
Hey, Julian, what shall we do?
Are we running away?
It's going to be more spot check, isn't it?
If we over-react,
it may make them suspicious.
Anyway the data is complete.
It doesn't matter.
Really?
The last time we were caught by the destroyer,
We were questioned like a criminal, weren't we?
It's hard on everyone.
Where's the Captain?
I am.
Any young girls on board?
It's a pity, but no.
Any weapon or medicine,
Or humans that are meant for sale?
Of course no.
We are very kind businessmen.
We always obey the laws.
If you find anything suspicious,
Feel free to check.
Alright, thank you for cooperating.
What is this!
they are just trying to exercise their rights to spot check
in the territory of the conquered land.
There's no other implication.
And they asked me if there are young girls on board.
What shall we do if there are!
Pervert!
I heard that Commander Steinmetz from the stationed troops
is a very strict man.
I believe they will behave themselves.
It's hard to say.
The higher level may be better,
But not necessarily soldiers from lower level.
What is this!
The scope of the new Ministry of Work includes
Transportation, Communication Construction, Production...
and the re-organisation of social capital.
The above sections,
are departments created to strengthen the New Empire State.
Silverberche.
Tell me, what are the qualities required of a Minister of Work?
Firstly, he must have a macro political overview,
In practice, they must have the admin ability...
and organizational ability.
These are the 3 main qualities.
How many qualities you have?
I think at least two of them.
Good, I'll hand the Ministry of Work to you.
That is to appoint you as the Minister of Work.
Me?
You are not happy with it?
No, why should I be unhappy? I am just surprised.
It's too sudden.
I will definitely try my best to serve.
I am going to give you another un-official post,
It's a matter of time for me to formally announce this plan.
I appoint you as the Capital Construction Officer to move the
capital to Phezzan. Move the capital? I see...
This is the first time Emperor Reinhard expresses
the will of shifting the capital from Capital Odin to Phezzan.
This is a proactive act of making Phezzan...
the capital of New Empire State
after merging with the Free Planet Alliance.
And it shows that he has the intention of wiping out the
Alliance. Undutiness
moves towards an abandoned Resupply base,
Dayan-Han.
He is meeting the secret troop led by Merkatz.
Dayan-Han Resupply Base.
Poplan.
Young man,
You should have a dozen of girlfriend by now.
I may have a few dozens in the future,
But now I have none.
You are so useless.
Oh, yes,
Has our Marshal and Princess Frederica
gotten married yet?
Yes, they had a simple ceremony.
Our Marshal has created many miracles,
But the greatest miracle is being able...
to win the heart of Princess Frederica.
But I guess this Princess who likes freaks
Iikes him as well.
What are the other perverts at lserlohn Fortress doing?
What do you think?
Mashengo, how are you?
There's no way for man to fight fate.
What are you saying?
I didn't expect that you'll be going to earth with Julian.
You are indeed a friend.
There's no way for man to fight fate.
First Lieutenant Julian I am so glad to see you.
How is Marshal Yang?
We have 60 ships now.
In an organisation, 60 ships
can be considered as a troop.
But it is insignificant in its combat strength.
This is the maximum Commander Yang
can get for us under the eyes of the New Empire State.
We are really thankful to him.
But number is strength.
Presently we only have the ability
to fight with fleet that has around 100 ships.
Commander Yang send you to us,
He must have some instructions for us.
Commander Yang wants me to pass a message.
I shall relate it in speech.
According to the 5th rules of the Anti-peace Ballat Pact,
All battle ships and aircraft carrier of Alliance
has to be destroyed.
In one part of the destruction,
on the 16th July,
At the space of galaxy Reon,
1820 ship/ will be destroy.
So he hopes Merkatz's independent troop will make good use of it.
That's all.
I have finish my report.
I see, to make good use of it, I get it.
So, First Lieutenant Mintz,
What do Commander Yang think of the...
future development?
Commander Yang did not share with me how he really feels.
I don't think he will be a recluse forever.
But he may really wants to be a recluse forever.
It seems to me that Commander Yang is waiting for an opportunity.
I remember he once said,
If you want to set fire in the wild,
You won't choose the raining season,
Since there will a drought one day.
Julian.
Is the Affairs Officer sent by the Empire State
Lennenkanpt?
Yes.
First Lieutenant, do you understand him?
Admiral Merkatz knows him better.
How is he, Admiral?
He is a very outstanding soldier.
Loyal to his leader and being fair to the subordinates.
But he sees nothing
besides the army.
The stationed troop at Heinessen,
has 4 companies of armoured force
and 12 companies of land force. It's more than enough.
Commander, pardon me for being frank,
This combat strength is too weak.
The Alliance can try to get me,
Although I am not unbeatable,
But my death signifies the downfall of Alliance too.
Julian.
Did Commander Yang say how long we have to wait?
Yes, about 5-6 years.
5-6 years...
Maybe, it will take at least 5-6 years,
5-6 years later,
Reinhard's Empire may face some problems.
What if nothing happen during this period?
Instead of anticipating, it should be a hope.
I hope that nothing will happen.
Too many things had happened.
Moreover, we need time for preparation work.
If we go against the New Empire State abruptly,
The impulsiveness may affect our progression.
So for now, it's better for us to wait.
I hope nothing will happen.
No, I won't let it happen.
I understand.
Anti-peace Activities Ban
ban all activities that affect the relationship with Empire State.
This is acceptable,
But if we ban the freedom of speech,
Which is assured in the law of Alliance,
We are against democracy.
I know,
But this is just for the time being.
Presently Alliance is being hang,
And standing with the tips.
Isn't this what you said?
The Empire State will take away our
stepping board once they seize the chance.
To prevent a total merging,
We must not give them any chance.
This is very important.
Even so,
Many citizens
still see things from the perceptive of democracy.
So does the soldiers.
Are they able to accept?
This will only result in their dismay towards Empire State.
This will push them towards rebellion.
This is what I worry about.
Anyway, you think about it.
Oh, it's me.
The spy on retired Marshal Yang how's the situation now?
Mount Coledalene
What's wrong?
That car...
Oh, that car has been following us,
It appeared when we were fishing,
Last night they stopped outside the villa,
We are being spied.
Are they from the Empire State?
They are from the Alliance's lnformation Unit.
Oh? How do you know?
Because of their car plate.
The lnformation Unit is using a fake number.
I see,
You have good memory.
I am happy about that,
But this is really unwelcome.
Oh yes.
Please come in.
Why are you packing?
I want to go to earth too.
Sir.
Don't worry,
I have seek Admiral Merkatz's approval.
But, are there women on earth?
There should be.
I don't mean young girls,
But the mature ones who understand the values of man.
A outstanding woman
who can match me, do you understand?
So that's what you mean?
I can't guarantee that.
forget it, to be frank,
For now, I am contended
with girls too.
There's not enough females here,
When I decided to join, I overlooked this part,
It's a grave mistake.
It has been hard on you, I can understand how you feel.
Oh, you have become very unlikable.
The way you speak is irritating.
When you first came to lserlohn Fortress,
You are as cute as a doll.
Coming back to the point, if you are leaving,
What will happen to those pilots who stay behind?
Kreuzer will take care of them.
It's time to assume the role of commander independently.
Time for Kreuzer to grow up.
Don't blame me if there are no beauty on earth.
Then pray together with me.
Hope that there are dozens of women hungry for men.
Oh yes, please come with me,
I introduce someone to you.
Chief Petty Officer Kreuzer.
This fellow, if he did not become Poplan No.2,
He will be Konev No. 2
Take off your helmet and greet him.
He is First Lieutenant Julian who I often mentioned to you.
This is Chief Petty Officer Katerose Kreuzer.
I often heard about First Lieutenant Julian
from Lieutenant Colonel Konev.
Nice to meet you.
I have to talk to the soldiers,
Can I be excused?
Isn't she a beauty?
Let me tell you, I am not going after her.
15 years old girl is out of question.
I am not asking you about this.
Both women and wine,
Need to be fermented before they are perfect.
I think Kaitlin needs another two years.
Kaitlin?
That's the familiar name of Katerose.
What do you think? Both of you're at a vigorous age,
You should get along well.
But she don't seems to take me seriously.
Moreover, I don't have time for this.
Then make her take you seriously!
And time is for you to find!
You must understand, your good looks is hard to come by,
How can you waste it?
Do you want to be like Commander Yang?
Sitting there like a idiot and wait for beauty come knocking
on your door. If that's what you are hoping for,
Then you are making a big mistake.
Alright, I will remember that.
But looking at her name,
Is she a runaway from the Empire State?
I guess so.
She don't mention about her family.
There must a reason for it.
Ask her personally if you want to know.
This is the first lesson, what a poor student.
I thought I've seen her before.
What, so weak.
Before July,
We must finish planning how to get the ships.
Yes, I understand.
My duty is to maintain the combat strength here,
In preparation for the future.
The sun doesn't rise for me,
But for someone younger,
Someone without a past.
Do you mean Commander Yang?
