Citizens of the Alliance,
Your Government is,
worthy of your support.
It is now time for you to reconsider...
Galaxy Year 799 New Empire Year 1,Nov 10.
Whilst the Black Lancers set off,
Emperor Reinhard delivers a speech to the Universe,
The speech shocked the citizens.
It's about the suicide of Lennekanpt,
the retired Marshal who left Heinessen,
and the causes of the recent events.
Due to intervention of the Government,
the truth that was not known,
is now revealed.
I admit this is the Government's fault,
we are to blame.
I am sorry that we lost a talent.
I am sorry that the society is no longer peaceful.
However,
I must correct the attitude of the Government.
It is not right for...
Lennekanpt to detain Yang,
The Government should report the incident to me.
so as to protect the benefits of,
Marshal Yang.
But, they made accusations against the ruler,
and violated the laws.
Worse, after the failure of their scheme,
they sold their Senior Official out,
and held him hostage.
They betrayed the man of merit for minute benefits,
and betrayed my representative.
Where is the meaning,
of the republic system?
If we are talking about injustice,
recognising this sort of governance is unjust.
The spirit of the Ballat pact is contaminated.
We must do all we can to correct the mistake!
Though Yang is responsible for the incident too.
But in light, he is also the victim,
and was doing all to defend his power.
If Yang surrenders himself,
I will accept him and his gang with courteous reception.
Will he give me my commission?
We will not be able to return to Alliance.
I thought we'll be alright here,
so I did not accept the invitation from El Facile.
Looks like it's all for nothing.
Even if I build a force on my own...
Let's go to lserlohn.
We'll control El Facile to protect the main entrance,
Go ahead with Attemboroug's plan.
Emperor Reinhard may order Commander Lutz,
to attack from the lserlohn Fortress.
He prefers to use full fledge
surround as his strategy.
We can make use of this.
Planet Phezzan.
Before Emperor Reinhard announces the attack on Alliance,
it's obvious that he is not as active.
Meanwhile, as a ruler,
he has to deal with problems,
that emerge continually.
The credit is to Reinhard's assistant,
Hilda Mariendorf, the secretary.
Miss Mariendorf, what about the indiscreet speaker?
Yes, he is being punished severely.
The one who leaked out the secret was demoted.
It's all dealt with.
Good. You have done a good job.
It's a good lesson for those who wants to flatter me,
by leaking other's secrets.
Seems like I can assign more tasks to you in the future.
Thanks.
I would like to seek help from you.
In the Government and the Palace,
there are some indecent practices,
Your Majesty, please take note of it.
Practices?
We should have respect for your Majesty,
but the respect is getting more insincere.
Tell me more.
For instance,
when they drink or greet,
one will be blamed if they pay no salute to the Emperor.
The superior uses it as a basis for promotion.
It's meaningless.
You are right.
I hope your Majesty,
could deliver an order.
To stop these indecent practices,
such as blaming others without proof.
It's good that you can,
take note of these minute things,
However, prevention is better than cure.
I'll make an announcement today.
Thanks, your Majesty.
If Commander Kircheis is still alive,
I won't have to handle this.
Yes.
Miss Mariendorf, may I ask you a question?
Have you any plans on the coming battle?
If your Majesty,
wish to end the battle within 2 weeks,
and to capture the leader of the Alliance,
without much effort.
How can we get this done?
Just a message.
I get it.
Let them fight among themselves, right?
Do you mean this, Ms Mariendorf?
Yes.
This should be...
the responsibility of Marshal Oberstein.
But great minds think alike.
What's good about this tactic?
The Capital Heinessen won't be affected by war,
the commoners won't be involved too.
Let the Alliance be the
target of grievances and blame.
The bad point?
It might give time to the gang of Yang,
to re-collect their men,
as he is the only reliable person.
Your Majesty's enemy will join him.
And...
Yes?
After the tactic succeeds,
your Majesty may not feel good.
As you hope to defeat Yang on the battlefield.
Ms Mariendorf... You know,
me so well.
If we don't play tricks,
the people may be flustered.
Then,
we might be under threats,
we should beware of this,
This is possible.
What's your order, your Majesty?
I need some rest.
May I have some coffee, Emil?
and for Ms Mariendorf.
Sure.
He is a good kid.
Yes, indeed.
I don't want him to feel awkward beside me.
He will be a good doctor.
Even if he is not skilful,
the patients will trust him.
As I don't have a brother. Your Majesty
has always see himself as Annerose's younger brother.
You must be happy with the switch of stand.
Stand...
What's my stand?
A loyal secretary for a great conqueror?
Only this?
Sir,
Captain Soun Soul, you look great.
Yes.
But my legs are not feeling well.
Let me help you, Sir.
Walk slowly.
Please sit, Sir.
No, I have retired.
It's fine sitting here.
Sir,
you are here in your uniform,
means you want to be back and join the battle against the Empire?
You are willing to lead us, aren't you?
I am different from Commander Yang.
I have worked for the Government for more than 50 years,
so I must do my part for the Government.
I am willing to follow you, Sir.
How old are you?
I am 27.
That's a pity.
Those under 30,
are not allowed to follow.
This is only for the adults.
Why?
Listen to me, Captain Soun Soul.
I am going to give you an important mission,
You must get it done.
Take my words to Yang,
tell him,
don't try to take revenge for me.
You have your duties ahead.
Get it?
Sir.
Maybe this message is useless,
I won't lose to those under-50 youngsters.
This is the preparation for the worst.
Welcome back, Sir.
You are not going to take in those under 30, are you?
I am 38.
I think I qualify to join you.
No...
You are making me mad.
Commander Yang may need many talents,
is it not?
But the youngsters can't stand with so many senior,
It's good enough for Yang to have Caselnes only.
Emperor Reinhard,
does not treat us as war criminals.
Personally I owe him.
But now I have to betray him,
The youths need not be loyal to this despicable nation,
I have lived enough too.
Yes,
Captain Soun Soul.
There is a yellow box in my basement,
there are some outstanding brandy in it,
take one to Commander Yang as a gift.
The next day, the 1 1th, Emperor Reinhard,
wants to be prepared for war.
Following is Admiral Wittenfeld,
after the Black Lancers,
is the Fleet Admiral,
Mittermeier is known as Gale Wolf.
Next is the two who split Lennekanpt's Fleet,
the fleets of Jeribasca and Kenastan.
Then, Admiral Grotewohl,
General Admiral Walkens, Vice Admiral Kelsey,
and Admiral Mecha's fleets.
Admiral Eisennach leads a fleet,
behind them.
The one who is at the rear with Reinhard,
is the Fleet led by Admiral Farenheit.
The consultant of the Emperor Reinhard,
is Marshal Reuentahl.
Under him is Bergengran.
Streit,
Lucan,
and Jesslyn.
The top secretary Ms Hilda is on the Flagship Brunehild too.
Lastly the Admiral who gained fame in the battle of Vermillion,
is known as the lron Tower, Admiral Muller.
As predicted by Yang, the one who guards lserlohn,
Admiral Lutz is joining the action too.
Meanwhile, Oberstein is ordered to guard Phezzan.
He is with the Minister of Construction,
Silverberche.
Sir, I thought you objected the military action?
No, that's good.
But it's risky,
to take action without good preparation.
The enemy is under-prepared too.
The most important thing is to remain positive.
Don't let the enemy take control.
Our Emperor is decisive,
he is not,
a man who sits and take no action.
You are right.
Now, it's a total mess in Alliance.
Some claim that they will fight,
till the last drop of blood.
Some want to surrender.
Some left the city and seeked refuge to the country.
Some merely sigh.
Some scared commoners,
who wished to flee, gathered at lll,
and created a riot.
The conflict occurred between the police and commoners,
resulted in thousands of casualties.
Bucock refuses to combat Yang.
If his opponent is Emperor Reinhard...
is he willing then to combat?
It's not surprising.
Please think over it.
Bucock is an old friend of yours.
But why does he refuses to see you?
Is it because he does not want to meet you,
in the status of an Emperor?
Do you mean that I am different?
At least Bucock has not changed,
You can't deny it.
I...
But Yang...
killed the Senior Officer...
Made the army his own property...
he is a warlord the enemy of democracy.
Yang Wenli, Yng Wenli he...
We have found the enemy's fleet!
Surprising!
They are in a small group of 10,
10?
It's too few.
It's an honour,
only when I fight with arch rival.
Don't bother, let's go ahead.
If they launch attack on us,
destroy them!
Message from the rival fleet!
We would like to talk.
Talk?
He says he is a messenger from Alliance, William Odets.
They want us to withdraw troop.
Withdraw?
Tell him,
I don't have the right to talk,
He can talk to Marshal Mittermeier.
I ensure their safety.
Send a ship to lead them there.
Cruiser Dolohoff lll
What should we do now, messenger?
No choice.
It is better to talk to Marshal Mittermeier
than to talk to the pig, Wittenfeld!
Let's do as they say.
The messengers was led by the warship.
After 3 days,
of trip,
they met the fleet led by Mittermeier.
That Wittenfeld!
He is putting me in trouble with the guests,
will he take the chance to widen the distance between us?
We can just neglect them.
As a commander,
I must meet them.
We must meet them.
In the Ballat treaty,
the sovereignty of Free Planets is assured.
Please think over it.
The Empire violate the treaty,
exerting violence,
trying to invade our nation,
If you don't wish to create,
grievances and criticisms,
you must withdraw your troop.
and solve problem diplomatically.
Moreover...
Stop it.
Who is violating the treaty?
Who killed the representative of the Emperor,
Lennenkanpt?
It's you! Isn't it?
It's because,
you are not abiding the treaty,
that the Empire sent the troops here.
You should submit to...
the Emperor,
to avoid casualty shouldn't you?
Lennenkanpt killed himself.
it's Yang Wenli who made him do that.
Why don't you take action against him?
This is all because of you Empire army.
You don't give us time.
Time?
Time will help Yang to be more powerful.
It will only weaken your Government.
Personally I don't think you can defeat Yang,
even if you're 10 times stronger.
That may be true,
but even Emperor Reinhard,
with army 100 times stronger,
may not get pass him.
How dare you insult his Majesty!
Stop.
You are soldiers.
Are you going to kill an unarmed person,
who comes here to talk with you?
I ask you a question,
If one of your commanders,
go to the capital,
and insult your leader,
would any of the officer there,
willing to do anything for the leader?
Should not be anyone...
What a shame....
What will Yang's men react?
They risked their lives to save him...
Our Emperor,
is not afraid of the Alliance Government,
He is afraid of Yang Wenli and his gang.
You know the reasons well.
Our conversation,
can't go further now.
If you have more to say,
tell his Majesty directly.
No problem.
But, before I ask his Majesty to withdraw troop,
I hope you can with old your action.
I can't do that.
You are free to meet his Majesty.
But it won't affect our military action.
Before new order,
we have to obey to current order to conquer the Alliance.
If you want to stop us,
meet his Majesty as soon as possible.
It's meaningless to start a debate here.
Go to Phezzan.
Complain to his Majesty.
How is that messenger?
He is going to the Emperor,
to complain to his Majesty.
Oh,
is this fine?
He can't persuade me,
he won't persuade his Majesty.
We can't stop him from meeting his Majesty.
It's better for us to get in touch with them.
Suddenly, Mittermeier feels uneasy.
His worries are founded.
Galaxy Year 799 New Empire year 1,Nov.
