Planet Heinessen
Emperor Reinhard has ordered Admiral Oberstein
not to torture the political criminals captured.
Lapur Prison
However, before this a outburst happened on the
the late night of 16th of April.
Lapur Prison which was situated in the outskirts of Heinessen city
hosted 5000 political criminals.
A riot erupted over there.
Quick, chase after them! Don't let anyone escape.
As the riot enlarges in size, the Empire army stationed at
Heinessen city also sent their troops to suppress the riot,
however a chaotic situation evolved.
We, the Black Lancers also have to suppress the riot.
Go!
Yes, sir.
What? The Black Lancers?
Yes, it seems that they have also started to move.
Maybe they want to make use of this chaotic situation
to get Commander Wittenfeld out.
Don't make deductions.
However, since this danger exists, we can't let them do anything.
Convey the order to block the roads.
Yes, sir.
At this time, Wittenfeld was not freed of his house arrest yet.
The police which is directly under the Minister of Military Affairs
had to strengthen their surveillance of the Black Lancers.
What are all of you trying to do?
The area ahead is managed by the Military police.
Please go back.
What is this? There is such a big riot happening before our eyes,
how can we do nothing about it? Maintaining order is
the responsibility of the Military police.
There is no room for outsiders.
How dare you say we are outsiders!
Aren't these rioters armed with weapons?
Although we are from the fleets,
we are courageous fighters with land battle experience.
Talking on actual experience, we're much powerful than you
Military police who sit at their desks everyday.
Be good and let us over.
No matter what you have said, we can't let you over.
You are very stubborn.
If you won't let us over, we will do so by force.
Does that mean anything to you?
No means no.
Damn it!
Under the accurate judgment and instructions,
this touch and go situation was solved.
Don't let the criminal escape. Especially before
the eyes of the Black Lancers or any other troop.
We can't let anyone escaped from the region we are in charge of.
There are too many rioters, Commander.
This is impossible
if we depend only on our own people.
Shoot anyone who attempts to resist or escape.
Shoot them? This lacks consideration.
If the political criminals are tortured, then we can't use them
in our negotiation process with lserlohn.
As the troops are mixed, they're unable to come to common grounds.
Make the troops retreat temporarily.
Surround the area and don't let them escape.
After that, advise them to surrender.
Hold a minute, there's our own guy.
Admiral, Admiral
Due to the injury of Ferner,
the commanding post lost a commander.
The situation turned even more chaotic.
Each troop adopted a more high-handed shooting...
to avoid the criticism from their own people,
In the case of political criminals,
there are 1084 people dead and 3109 slightly injured.
Of those who remained, 317 were not injured,
are either on the run or missing. In the case of the Empire,
there are 158 dead and 907 slightly injured.
Although Ferner has ordered the medical teams to be on stand-by,
Due to his injury, the order was not relayed speedily.
The medical teams was delayed for 3 hours...
and this resulted in a few hundred to bleed to death.
On the morning of the following day, which was the 17th,
the situation was not taken care of and turned much worse.
Arson and explosions broke out in various locations in the city
as if they were supporting the riot in the Lapur Prison.
Even the residential areas were in flames. There were chaos
everywhere all at once. Tell the civilians to go home!
Don't let the riot spread further!
Commander, there's a sniper!
It's too dangerous, you better return to the armoured car.
Never mind. You must quickly find out...
who started all these shooting.
This is a emergency. Where did the Minister of Military Affairs go?
The Minister of Military Affairs said he doesn't want to see
anyone now. Please go back.
Now, it's not only Lapur that is having riots,
it's happening everywhere.
This may really turn into the start of...
all rioting activities in the Empire.
Rear admiral Ferner has already set off to deal with the situation.
Regarding the chaotic situation in the city,
the Minister would like me to hand you this.
That's all to it. Hope that you're able to suppress the riots
everywhere. I shall do as I intend to.
Once the matter has been taken care of
I shall come back here.
Please convey this to the Minister of Military Affairs.
Though the chaotic situations and sacrifices continued to occurred,
at 9.40am, the riot in prison was finally suppressed by Empire army.
Among those dead were the Commander of 1st fleet of Alliance,
Paeta and the principal of the Public Autonomous University, etc.
As for Marshal Sitolet, and Vice Admiral Murai
they were only injured and not in any life danger.
Without looking at the list of dead people,
it is very clear that the political criminals
that are being imprisoned are, on average, of high age.
Hence the probability of an voluntary riot is quite low.
In addition, if we were to include the weapons found in prison...
this riot may have been planned by someone behind the scenes.
Who could it be?
The name that appears on every high ranking official's head
was that of the Earth Sect.
If this riot was the plot of the Earth Sect,
then their motive must be to harm the relations
between the Empire army and lserlohn Government.
What do you mean?
Think about it. If the information
about this incident is passed inaccurately to lserlohn,
it may cause a misunderstanding. Giving people in lserlohn the idea
that...we are killing political criminals recklessly.
Now, when the Emperor wants to have a proper dialogue with them,
all our efforts will go down the drain.
Then what shall we do?
If there is someone who is related to lserlohn...
he might be able to pass the correct information out.
Check the list of injured persons.
Yes.
And that was how Muller found the name of
Vice Admiral Murai in the list.
However, Murai has not regained consciousness.
There was no way to lserlohn for relations restoration work.
The chaotic situation was finally put to an end.
The troops under Military Minister was made to inspect the hospital.
Thus Muller's 'unauthorized surveillance' had to stop.
17th of April
The team: Frederica Greenhill Yang and Julian Mintz, representing
the lserlohn Republican Government
had left the corridor and
entered the territory of the Reich Empire.
There's no response from the Empire army within the surrounding
area. What is happening here?
There's totally no defense.
If we have know this earlier,
we should have come with the main flagship.
You are too naive.
We should guard against the existence of traps at this moment.
However, since we are
in the enemy's territory and there is no sign of them
isn't it a good chance?
Well, how do you feel? Commander?
Currently, we can't come to conclusion.
We shall slow down temporarily and see how the situation is.
After the hardwork of gathering information, they finally
they got to know about the riot in Lapur prison.
The current situation of Heinessen
is liken to that under a restraint order.
Let us return to lserlohn temporarily.
If we go back to Heinessen under these circumstances, maybe they
will make use of the chaotic situation and finish us off.
We really have no reason to send ourselves into the Lion's den.
The order was immediately carried out.
Cruiser Zeureux
Something strange occurred to one of the cruisers.
In order to repair that, some time was spent.
The following day, which was the 18th, it was finished.
The repair of Zeureux was finished,
hence the repair room can be closed.
Very good. Proceed immediately in the direction of lserlohn.
We have discovered the enemy. 24 degrees,
at 8 o'clock direction. About one hundred of them.
What's the matter? They are still coming.
A call was made by the enemy.
Immediately stop the vessel or we shall launch an attack.
Such memorable lines.
Don't worry.
This vessel is particularly lucky
so that's why we made it our flag bearing vessel.
However, after so many battles,
it's luck might have run out.
What? Schenkopp, when did you become
such a believer of fate?
No, I am not. I just heard you talking of it
and thought you are going to mention the word, 'Destiny',
hence I decided to join in. Yes, maybe...
the bad luck will approach in the form of a Military vessel.
So, what? Look at their joyous faces.
They became officials at the age of twenty.
These rare and excellent characters of the Free Planets
Alliance...proclaimed themselves to be revolutionists
as the old Alliance has been destroyed.
If the Alliance is still around,
then maybe they will become Marshals at the age of 30.
They will probably do things differently from Yang.
Maybe they will be recorded in the History of the Alliance.
Heroes as courageous...
and as passionate.
You are Julian Mintz?
I am Dusty Attenborough. Please give me your guidance.
I don't want to turn these people into memories.
I want to reminisce our memories with them.
For the sake of...
17th of April
The Emperor who was on his way to Planet Heinessen with
Mittermeier, Eisennach, Mecklinger... also heard about
the series of incidents there.
Minister of Military Affairs, what are you trying to do?
Don't tell me you think that everything is going to be fine...
if you lock the Republicans behind a wall?
Don't talk about whether capturing the hostages is correct or not...
But to kill or hurt them would result in them...
being unusable as hostages, right?
Yes.
Six army doctors were sent to accompany the Emperor for this trip
Reinhard himself, hated to be treated like a patient.
However this is what the Empress and Her Ladyship wishes
and that he cannot reject.
If the Emperor's weakness can be seen by the eyes,
we can detect it.
However, the beauty and the mental strength of the Emperor
has not fade. At least not on the surface...
Due to a consistent bout of fever and confinement to bed, we have
gotten used to the Emperor's illness.
This is comparison with the times during the previous Dynasty.
Even though he is having a high fever,
the Emperor's clear-headedness had not been affected.
The above was what was narrated by Admiral Mecklinger.
At this moment, he also has not noticed the seriousness of
the matter. The enemy vessel is approaching nearer.
How come they are here again. Lure them closer.
It's fun, isn't it?
12 against 100 is a bit boring,
why don't we play with the enemy?
Let them chase us?
This person is not bad in character.
If we continue like this, we're going to be half surround.
All vessels escape back to the corridor with your fastest speed.
Reporting sir, the vessels have retreated back to the corridor.
Don't let them escape.
Don't ever think of escaping.
Oh, dear. There are a lot of responses from the corridor.
It's a big fleet.
What?
The quantity is about twelve thousands
How could this be possible? Don't tell me
the whole lserlohn army is hiding around the corridor's entrance?
Now, what shall we do, Commander?
Need I say anything?
Retreat!
Reporting sir, the Empire army has retreated.
We can take a rest, now.
What shall do we do next, Commander?
Temporarily cancel the arrangements of going to Heinessen
and look at the situation around here before making a decision.
Due to security consideration, after Julian sent Frederica back
to the headquarters, he adopted a waiting stance
towards the old Alliance region before him.
On the other hand, on Planet Heinessen,
facing the arrival of the Emperor,
Oberstein first attended to a matter.
Before the arrival of the Majesty,
one must get rid of the dust.
On the 29th of April,
the contents of the plan that Oberstein named
as the Riddance of Heinessen's dust was announced.
The Empire army finally caught...
the national criminal Adrian Rubinsky, who was the
former autonomous leader of Phezzan.
He was captured and imprisoned in city Heinessen.
The above mentioned criminal is to be sent back to Phezzan.
Where he will serve his sentence after the trial.
Strange, how did he know where Rubinsky was hiding?
Of course, it's alright to announce it
but it's ok to let us know, right?
This, I am not too sure.
This is the result of a long term placement plan and investigation.
We started checking the whereabouts of Rubinsky
from the Ragnorok battle.
Until this year,
we finally found Rubinsky.
This included filtering out names...
in the medical records of
all medical organizations in the Galaxy.
Rubinsky suffers from a malicious brain tumour.
The longest he can live is 1 year.
Maybe he left the evidence as he was too worried.
2nd of May
Emperor Reinhard arrived at Planet Heinessen.
Reinhard was not concerned with the news of capturing Rubinsky
which have shocked the entire Galaxy.
In the Public Arts museum which has been
designated as the temporarily base,
the Minister of Military Affairs, Oberstein,
and Admiral Wittenfeld were waiting
for the arrival of the Emperor.
Wittenfeld finally got to meet the Emperor Reinhard.
He apologize for his behaviour.
He apologized for his mistake of having a rift
with the Minister of Military Affairs...
which allowed the outsiders to see the disunity in the Empire army.
He even berate Oberstein for his rudeness
in laughing at the admirals of the Empire.
The latter who had never won a fight
with Yang Wenli of the Alliance.
Wittenfeld, you don't have to be angry.
I would also like to win against Yang Wenli
but had not been able to do so.
However, I just feel regrettable and not ashamed.
Don't tell me you feel shameful?
No.
Then there's no need to go into such a rage.
This matter shall end here.
Both of you have no problem with that, right?
Yes.
His Majesty seems to have changed.
If it's in the past, he would surely have scolded me.
Is this good or bad for the Empire?
Once again, inform the Republicans of
Iserlohn and invite them to Heinessen again.
This is the Emperor's invitations.
Muller, carry this out in your name.
Yes, your Majesty, I'll follow your orders.
However, what if they reject?
What shall I do, your Majesty?
What shall you do?
If that is the case, he will have to bear
the responsibility for the bloodshed and the chaos.
Oberstein.
Yes, your Majesty.
If I were to meet with those Republicans,
I guess there would be bugs...
trying to stop this meeting.
I am counting on your power to get rid of them.
There's no problem to that, isn't it?
Then you're dismissed temporarily.
I am having dinner with the various ministers tonight.
Let's gather again at 6.30pm.
Yes, your Majesty.
It ended just like that?
Yes.
His Majesty wants to meet with the Republicans.
If any agreement comes out of it,
the peace of the Galaxy will come soon.
I would like to think of it as a good matter.
Don't you think it's a good idea?
That's what I thought.
There's bound to be a thunder storm when the seasons change.
I believe it's going to be a big scale thunderstorm.
Don't you feel so, Admiral?
Thunderstorm?
The strength of the lserlohn army exceeds only about 1000.
I don't think they can cause a major thunderstorm in the Galaxy.
Then, can the Earth Sect create such a thunderstorm?
This is not your prediction but what you hope, right?
Maybe.
Maybe you are the only one hoping for this.
The beginning of May Neidhart Muller
started negotiations with the lserlohn government.
On 20th of May,
it was announced that
all the political prisoners were
released from the Lapur prison.
The anger and the displeasure that was formerly raised against
Minister of Military Affairs were nullified by the Emperor's kindness
Maybe the Minister of Military Affairs had included this in his
calculation and had been manipulating this.
If that is the case, that's the limit his Majesty can endure,
don't expect him to give way any further.
We should go to Heinessen again
and have a direct talk with the Emperor.
Even so, we fall into the trap laid by Admiral Oberstein.
We have no choice.
Let's go to Heinessen,
not as captives but as envoys. Given the current
situation, this is the best that we can hope for.
Due to the decisiveness of Julian,
the history is progressing towards peace again.
However, the blood shed and the riots did not reduce in numbers.
The next incident occurred on the Planet of Phezzan.
That's the fire at the Holly Oaks.

When everyone is placing their attention on lserlohn,
the followers of the Earth Sect
took advantage on the absence of the Emperor and the Empire army.
They attempt to kill the Empress and Her Ladyship Annerose on
Phezzan and attack the embassy, Holly Oaks.
Kessler urgently came to the rescue.
