Galaxy Calendar Year 800, New Empire Calendar Year 2 July.
News of the Emperor Reinhard's order to relocate the capital to
Phezzan... reached lserlohn Fortress.
Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about now.
We can see that Emperor Reinhard is acting on personal grounds...
in handling the problem regarding lserlohn.
We were at war, and now the Emperor wants to stop fighting...
because Commander Yang passed away?
Is this possible?
It's what's happened.
I see.
Since lserlohn Fortress lost Yang Wenli.
it has become just a small pebble at the borders.
But this is, in fact not so.
After the Free Planets Alliance was destroyed,
Iserlohn Fortress had somehow lost its military value.
With the Empire's relocation to Phezzan,
it becomes clearer that... the Phezzan Corridor
will become an important part of the New Empire.
The opening up of the borders at the Universe...
would speed up with the Phezzan Corridor.
The expansion of the human society...
would be centered on Phezzan.
Without lserlohn, history and society would still proceed on.
I think the Emperor had planned this situation all along.
It's not surprising the Emperor would think of this.
What is surprising is...
you can actually see through his plans.
You are good at spotting strategies.
Actually...
The Emperor personally visited lserlohn, out of feelings for it.
The reason why the Emperor feels so strongly for the lserlohn
Corridor, is not because there is a Fortress here,
but because Commander Yang was here.
I think so too,
When Yang died, the Emperor went back...
to being a cold military strategist.
So what do you think of the new developments?
I am not making any predictions. I'm just anticipating.
Even the way you talk is beginning to sound like Yang.
Commander Yang used to talk like this.
Because the two ends of the lserlohn Corridor...
are ruled by different political and military powers.
This is why lserlohn gets to have its military value.
That's all.
I heard him say that before.
Ironically, the reason why lserlohn can enjoy peace now...
is because it has lost its military value.
When it regains its value,
the Empire will split up.
It will be a turning point for lserlohn.
No matter what, I don't think there will be any drastic changes.
Ale Heinessen spent 50 years to get started on a 10,000-year
expedition. We'll need about 50 years to come to realization.
I'm 90 years old, after 50 years.
That is, if I'm still alive.
But then again, Mrs Yang and you...
have taken on some unpleasant tasks.
Mrs Yang will be accused of making use of her husband's reputation...
to secure her own political power.
And you will be harshly blamed if this fails.
Even if you succeed, people will say you're riding on Yang's
shirt-tails, that you've taken over Yang's ideals.
I don't care what people say,
as long as I succeed.
So in mid-July, all those who wanted to leave lserlohn, left.
Those who stayed totaled 944,087.
Of these, 612,906 were males.
331,181 were females.
The majority of the females were family to the males.
There were very few singles.
The male-female ratio is unbalanced.
This is unavoidable.
However problems that will surface,
will crop up.
Half of the males were unemployed.
But if you ask me to help those useless guys,
I wouldn't do it either.
Who are you talking about?
Who is it?
To be frank, to build a new country,
that's impossible.
Eventually, we can only exist as a military group.
The Commander had to have a solution.
At this time, Planet Heinessen.
Marshal Reuentahl, reached the Capital of the former Alliance.
He was the Governor of the New Territory,
and began to work on his political and military work,
at the Commander's quarters in the Euphordia hotel. There was
the Governor of the New Territory and important officials.
Their military strength comprised 35,800 battleships,
and 5,226,400 solders.
The name of the troops is called New Territories security army.
But unofficially,
it was called the Reuentahl's army, in short.
Reuentahl categorized his duties as military and political,
and engaged supporting officers to help him.
On the military aspect, Admiral Bergengran
would be in charge of overseeing the military matters,
effectively as an Acting Governor.
But Grillpalzer and Kaupstein were unhappy with the arrangement.
They were Admirals as well...
but ended up working under Bergengran.
And, even though it was only temporary,
they used to report directly to Reinhard.
And felt superior to Bergengran in some ways.
Additionally, Vice admiral Lintz, who was the Chief Secretary...
in the Gandarwa under Steinmetz,
was knowledgeable about the former Alliance.
He was appointed to be the assistant overseer.
The lower-ranking position did not incur the Admirals'
dissatisfaction. On the political front,
with Emperor Reinhard's recommendation,
Julius Elzheimer, who used to be the country's technical officer,
was to be the Community Officer.
Coincidentally, Elzheimer was Lutz's brother-in-law.
Working under Elzheimer,
was Truniht, who played a Senator
in the former Alliance,
and sent here to be a Senior Advisor.
The Emperor's arrangements are amazing.
to invite the former Alliance's important officials to return as...
important officials, after Yang's death.
Is this his way of mocking the...
democratic system?
Don't you understand?
The Emperor's joy is in watching how this shameless man...
is going to humiliated by the people.
Forget it.
As long as we can make use of Truniht's knowledge and capability.
Let's not bother about his integrity for the time being.
To use, but not to trust.
This was what Reuentahl had said and recorded.
Reuentahl's plan was that if Truniht has something up to his
sleeves he would do away with him once and for all.
He wanted to created the excuse to do away with Truniht,
that's why he puts up with this personnel arrangement.
This is another reason.
There is another more serious problem.
How do you feel about letting the...
soldiers who left lserlohn...
to come back to Heinessen?
They may be the ones who chose to leave,
but still, they had fought against the Emperor before over lserlohn.
Is it wise to let them off without any punishment?
I understand how you feel. But things aren't so simple.
It's impossible to imprison...
more than a million people. And we have to think
about those who are still loyal to the former Alliance.
It's foolish to make them feel even more uneasy than they
already are. And Reuentahl gave those leavers...
complete freedom. Corporals and soldiers
can go back home after registering their names.
But officials from the army and El Facile independent
government, have to register their thumbprints.
And report to the...
Governor's quarters to obtain new registration card once a month.
These procedures have caused Reuentahl...
to ponder.
Because he found Vice Admiral Murai's name...
among the list of senior officials.
Murai has won his reputation as Yang Wenli's advisor.
He was the first to express his wish to leave and led the group
of leavers, so many have expressed their wish to leave...
because of him. Maybe he knew
there would not be any future for lserlohn after Yang's death.
Although people do change their mind,
but to have changed just like that, isn't a pleasant thought.
You think so?
Think about it.
When the battle of Lipstaddt ended,
why did the Emperor let the assassin in?
Don't you think there's something you should take note of?
So, should we imprison Murai?
No, we don't have to do that yet.
We just to have to monitor his movements for the time being.
Yes, Sir.
Anyway, Reuentahl doesn't want to punish the leavers from lserlohn.
He wants to praise Yang. So that the former
Alliance would criticize the leavers who left Yang.
This is what he's calculated.
The new Governor is another disgusting guy.
Marshal Yang's memorial. The new Governor's quarters.
What happened?
Reinforcements of the Governor's quarters.
Marshal Yang's memorial. What is this?
They are trying to create some political effects.
Among the leavers who left lserlohn and went to Heinessen,
there is a trio who call themselves the kind civilians.
They used to be independent traders from Phezzan,
and Yang's good friends.
Boris Konev and associates.
Even free, independent traders from Phezzan...
are now reduced to living in the quarters of the autocratic rule.
It's pretty meaningless to live for long.
But to set up the political and military centers in Phezzan,
so as to encourage economic traffic.
So Emperor Reinhard is not a simpleton afterall.
That's why he's not cute.
Your face is pretty enough. You should be satisfied.
And let others have capibility or generosity.
What happened, Captain?
Is anything wrong?
Didn't we go to... What do we call that place, Earth...
with Julian last year?
I remember seeing that face in the eerie underground temple.
Seemed like some big organization.
The Earth Sect?
And they seemed to be from the high-level administration.
If so,
they may be the ones who murdered Yang Wenli.
Very likely.
Only some weapons were left behind at the scene of crime.
The mastermind may be hiding somewhere to celebrate.
Those guys from the Earth Sect were later brought to lserlohn.
They committed suicide without saying anything.
We still can't figure out what exactly has happened.
It's not that they didn't want to say anything.
The culprits only did the killing, and may not know anything else.
Barkades even used the 'truth tablet', but it was futile.
That's why I say, just put him to death.
Julian lacks the judgment needed for the crucial moment.
I know he's unwilling to kill anybody off the battlefield.
I admit Julian is very capable.
But it's better to charge ahead in some matters.
Just ideals and conscience, are not enough to win over the Emperor.
Listen to the Captain, there he goes again.
But he's doing very well for his age.
He's put in a lot of energy...
to carry on Commander Yang's work.
But he can't always base his work on Commander Yang's example,
can he? Yang is already dead.
Really,
it's alright if he's defeated by the Emperor in a fight,
but he had to die in an accident.
It's not his fault.
It's all because of those people from the Earth Sect.
I know.
That's why I'm following them.
I remember that house...
belonged to the Senator of the High Council
He came back as an advisory official from the Governor's
quarters. Truniht's former residence.
This is good.
We'll see some action at Heinessen.
Let's stay for a while and watch.
Commander.
I'm doing something great.
Something beyond my capability.
I know that very well.
I can't be like the Commander.
I can only do what I can.
What would the Commander do in this case?
I keep asking myself.
But why...
why did Commander pass away at such a young age?
A good man, a great man, to have been killed so meaninglessly.
This is war, terrorism.
The evil of the two lies in causing tragedies like this.
I understand.
No, I'm trying my best to understand.
But...
I can't accept the fact that Commander was killed so
meaninglessly... by the terrorists.
If Commander died a meaningful death,
won't that be a reaffirmation of the terrorism?
And the living could make use of the dead
political agendas, couldn't they?
But we really need a commander.
To protect our commander's sprouting buds...
of the democratic system.
We may even need help from the dead.
The result is that Republican and politics,
relies on personal reputation.
This is ironical.
The Commander has yet fulfilled what he'd been trying to achieve.
As a democratic idealist
we, the successors, have finally found it.
That's the old me, isn't it?
Just play on the picture that the Commander hated,
and his ideal may be realized.
Led by Emperor Reinhard's,
the Universe would soon be unified under the autocratic rule.
The democratic ideal,
appeared in the Heroic Yang, who embraces the democratic ideal,
and existed for the first time in the autocratic politics.
As the Commander died in a winning situation...
even Emperor Reinhard cannot defeat him...
Cannot win him at all...
But, I really wish...
really wish that you would be alive.
Even if I get defeated by you again and again.
Commander...
Please come in.
You look very tired.
A little.
But I've finally come to understand that...
to develop my career according to my wishes,
and to work within a scope that's given to me,
are 2 different matters.
Seems like I have find out the motivating factor for myself.
This is what I'm like.
You too, Julian?
Yes, I guess so.
This is for you, drink it.
Oh, thank you. This is Kreuzer's
energizing recipe, passed down from the ancestors.
This is not any ordinary drink,
this is medicine, of course it won't taste good.
The ingredients and brewing methods have to remain a secret.
It can help soothe your nerves.
Those guys who only know how to talk, have all left.
Suddenly, lserlohn seems so empty and huge.
But you've stayed.
It's a pity.
I don't like to move.
And,
I respect Mrs Yang.
I hope to stay and help her.
This is only natural.
To see Frederica working so hard, and not helping her...
How can I bear that... afterall, I'm a woman?
The same goes for a man too...
Frederica and Commander Yang were together for a year.
But my parents were together for only 3 days.
I've asked Frederica something personal before.
I asked her, What do you see in Commander Yang?
Frederica did not turn arrogant
She said,
If you see a man who tries his best...
to complete the task he's assigned to,
you'd know.
If it's ok to leave a job unfinished, I would do that too.
But I can't find someone else to stand in for me.
You seem to think you're not matured enough.
Well, you are right.
There's no reason to feel inferior, because of it,
just like me, I don't use maturity as a weapon,
and I'm happy everyday.
You're indeed Schenkopp's daughter.
I think Frederica's noble.
That's why men can get so arrogant.
Not just Commander Yang.
Those irresponsible men who make use of women's generosity.
They are scums!
Oh my goodness!
The father and daughter have not mended their relationship yet.
The pair over there have almost mended theirs.
What's going on?
Because the girl's fickle-minded?
No, no no.
Men like you won't understand.
Women are like that.
How did you know?
But, seriously, pretty girls
just get attracted to them without they having to do anything,
Julian won't lose out to Commander Yang in that sense.
Not like somebody I know!
You have to know, there can be only one.
Not like somebody who flirts around.
You can't just sit there and envy others, Attenborough.
When it comes to women, less than one is zero.
There are no decimals, you know?
Who's being jealous?
Not everybody's values are the same...
as yours.
Except for that guy who was obsessed with revolution.
Why do you say that?
If young people can get along well, it means
they are growing emotionally. That's a good thing too.
That's right.
It's a waste to spend your youth on the revolution.
It's really a good thing.
You!
Regarding the formal name of our country,
if we call it a Republic,
we'll lose any chances of resuming the relationship with the Empire.
And the relationship between the country, government and army...
has became too complicated.
Are there any suitable names for this kind of small groups?
The lserlohn Group.
This name isn't bad, is it?
Take back what you say.
Why?
Please don't use that attitude to judge things happening around you.
Those revolting organizations that used 'Group' in their names,
failed halfway through.
I don't want lserlohn to become the grave for democratic politics.
Simply having a special name is meaningless.
Commander Yang hates this sort of gimmicks too.
And it's not going to be a permanent organization.
How about using lserlohn Republican Government for the time
being? And the name was used and approved.
Whether this name can shine on in history,
depends on what happened from now onwards.
From now, in order to
distinguish itself from the El Facile lndependent Government,
most people called it the the New Government in August.
The necessary departments were set up,
but appointments were not yet confirmed.
But Julian was not dishearten because of this.
About 300 years ago,
the founding father Ale Heinessen of Free Planets Alliance,
began his 10,000-year expedition.
There was no famous politician among his followers.
People were oppressed and ill-treated, their anti-autocracy
sentiments...stifled. And endured
hardship for half a century before the country was built.
These people were not shining stars right at the beginning.
We can put Ale Heinessen's and Yang Wenli's portraits...
in the main meeting room, central committee, Chairman's office,
and the Governor's quarters. Just these 4 places.
The portraits are not allowed at public places.
It won't be good if this turns into idol worship.
Commander Yang would feel shy to be put together with the founding
father. He'd say the status doesn't match.
All he wished for was a good sleep.
But he should at least see the results of the work...
he's left behind.
Galaxy Calendar, Year 800.
New Empire Calendar, 8 August, Year 2.
This is the 63rd day after Yang Wenli's death.
Hubby, take a good look at me.
I, Frederica Greenhill, Yang,
of the lserlohn Republican Government,
with the support and consensus of those who support...
the democratic ideal.
It began with Ale Heinessen's...
quest for freedom, equality and power by the people.
The war to realize this ideal would carry on.
We would like to thank everybody for standing by us to nurture
the democratic system at such tough times.
Thank you, everybody.
And when the war ends,
I hope to have the chance to say,
You've worked hard for this.
Long live the lserlohn Republican Government!
Go to hell! Emperor Reinhard!
Long live the lserlohn Republican Government!
Go to hell! Emperor Reinhard!
Galaxy Calendar Year 800.
New Empire Calendar, 8 August, Year 2.
The lserlohn Republican Government is born.
Compared to the population of the New Empire,
40 billion against 940,000. The difference was huge.
It stood for only part of 425,000 of the whole human population.
The flag, representing the democratic republic, waves on.
The Lohengramm Empire under the Lohengramm's rule...
has yet unified the universe.
What kind of development or regression...
will Yang Wenli's death
bring?
All who had survived could make no prediction.
The New Government set up in August
