00:00:37,454 --> 00:00:39,079
Hey, lso.
3
00:00:39,497 --> 00:00:44,877
At the time of the Boshin Civil War,
your grandfather
4
00:00:45,086 --> 00:00:47,129
was already 77 years old.
5
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:50,340
But he bravely charged the enemy.
6
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:53,927
He died a glorious death.
7
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:59,433
Our city, Nagaoka, burned
for three days and nights.
8
00:00:59,642 --> 00:01:02,770
The whole city burned to ashes.
9
00:01:03,021 --> 00:01:06,356
lt was a horrible sight to behold.
10
00:01:07,776 --> 00:01:10,652
That was 20 years ago.
11
00:01:11,696 --> 00:01:14,156
Time does fly...
12
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:28,170
THE ADMlRAL
(ADMlRAL YAMAMOTO)
13
00:01:42,143 --> 00:01:43,352
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
14
00:01:43,478 --> 00:01:45,938
Company, halt!
15
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:48,857
Left turn!
16
00:01:49,651 --> 00:01:52,152
Take aim!
17
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,239
What the hell are you up to!
18
00:01:55,406 --> 00:01:56,990
How dare you aim at the Navy!
19
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:58,200
How dare you!
20
00:01:58,326 --> 00:01:59,409
Withdraw!
21
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:05,165
lf the Army wants a fight, let us be prepared!
22
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:07,251
Hurry to the generators!
23
00:02:07,418 --> 00:02:12,506
lf they cut off our water and power,
3,000 men won't be able to flush!
24
00:02:17,011 --> 00:02:18,387
Withdraw!
25
00:02:19,931 --> 00:02:21,181
At ease!
26
00:02:25,645 --> 00:02:27,271
Company, advance!
27
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:39,241
Yes.
28
00:02:39,742 --> 00:02:40,993
Excuse me.
29
00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:45,122
l've ordered a Yokosuka land battalion
to stand by.
30
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:46,415
l see.
31
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:49,168
The Army is insolent!
32
00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:53,755
To conclude the Tripartite Pact,
they're even threatening a coup d'etat.
33
00:02:55,466 --> 00:02:58,093
That was a real scare.
34
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:01,597
l thought they'd really shoot.
35
00:03:02,473 --> 00:03:06,101
The Army and Navy shooting
at each other is no joking matter.
36
00:03:06,603 --> 00:03:09,521
But l trust all is well, Yamamoto?
37
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:14,276
Yes. With General lnoue in charge,
things will be fine.
38
00:03:14,986 --> 00:03:16,111
Right.
39
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:18,447
l'll excuse myself, then.
40
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:19,948
Minister.
41
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:24,786
Please make no scandalous detours
on your way home today.
42
00:03:25,955 --> 00:03:27,039
Right.
43
00:03:27,498 --> 00:03:31,627
Only because you insist.
44
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:39,509
He'll detour.
45
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:42,971
Yes, a detour is written all over his face.
46
00:03:45,266 --> 00:03:46,558
Excuse me.
47
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:53,523
Undersecretary, Chief Editor Munakata
of Tokyo Nippo is here.
48
00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:57,402
Oh, it's that time already?
l leave you in charge.
49
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:04,117
Shindo here
50
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:08,288
was completely panicked
that a battle was about to start.
51
00:04:08,498 --> 00:04:13,460
At this rate, we could repeat the tragedy of
the February 26 coup from three years ago.
52
00:04:14,128 --> 00:04:19,007
Undersecretary, you should look after
your own personal safety.
53
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:22,219
l appreciate your concern.
54
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:29,351
Even with things in this state,
55
00:04:29,894 --> 00:04:33,355
will the Navy still oppose
the Tripartite Pact?
56
00:04:33,523 --> 00:04:34,690
Yes, of course.
57
00:04:34,857 --> 00:04:36,733
ls your reason America?
58
00:04:36,901 --> 00:04:40,112
lf we side with Germany,
America won't sit still.
59
00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:45,200
Which country stole land from our
countrymen with their discriminatory law?
60
00:04:45,535 --> 00:04:46,660
America.
61
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:52,082
And proposed the League of Nations but
refuses to join over the Monroe Doctrine?
62
00:04:52,417 --> 00:04:53,458
America.
63
00:04:53,584 --> 00:04:57,170
On top of that, expands their own colonies,
64
00:04:57,338 --> 00:05:00,841
but refuses to acknowledge our
rightful national interests in Asia?
65
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:02,551
As you say.
66
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:06,054
Why wouldn't you try to sweep aside
such a country?
67
00:05:07,598 --> 00:05:09,850
Can you sweep them aside?
68
00:05:11,352 --> 00:05:12,519
lt's true.
69
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:17,190
Their shipbuilding capacity
is 4.5 times ours.
70
00:05:18,359 --> 00:05:22,446
For aeroplanes, six times,
for cars, 100 times.
71
00:05:22,613 --> 00:05:24,740
For oil, 700 times ours.
72
00:05:24,907 --> 00:05:28,535
ln half a day, they produce
Japan's annual consumption.
73
00:05:29,287 --> 00:05:33,165
ln national strength, America is
10 times stronger than Japan.
74
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:34,541
Your understanding is correct.
75
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:40,088
But in the Russo-Japanese war, we beat
Russia, also 10 times our might, right?
76
00:05:46,721 --> 00:05:49,514
At the time,
Russia was undergoing a revolution.
77
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:54,269
Thus, we could sue for peace after
one victorious battle.
78
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:59,816
But today, wars are total wars.
79
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:03,945
lt will not end until one side
has burned to ashes.
80
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:07,574
So we should shut up
and do America's bidding?
81
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:08,950
No.
82
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:14,247
We must boldly assert
our nation's conditions
83
00:06:14,624 --> 00:06:18,335
and confront our opponents without fear.
But that,
84
00:06:19,337 --> 00:06:23,340
should be handled by diplomacy.
That is my point.
85
00:06:23,508 --> 00:06:25,759
Your point is well taken.
86
00:06:25,968 --> 00:06:31,139
But the last resort of diplomacy is war...
87
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:34,017
ls it not?
88
00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:38,063
Listen, Mr Munakata,
89
00:06:38,523 --> 00:06:42,859
once you start a war,
there's no turning back.
90
00:06:44,153 --> 00:06:46,905
We must not bring catastrophe
upon our nation
91
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:50,283
by charging without sober deliberation.
92
00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:53,829
So we must grin and bear it?
93
00:06:54,664 --> 00:06:59,876
Even if our people are smothered by
this gloomy helplessness?
94
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:04,297
lsn't it you,
95
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:09,010
who are fanning the flames of
this helplessness you refer to?
96
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:14,099
The newspapers simply represent
public opinion.
97
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,393
This public opinion,
98
00:07:17,311 --> 00:07:21,940
is it truly the voice of the people?
99
00:07:26,195 --> 00:07:27,404
Right.
100
00:07:28,406 --> 00:07:29,531
Welcome back!
101
00:07:30,074 --> 00:07:32,909
- Shindo, Shindo!
- Yes!
102
00:07:33,035 --> 00:07:34,619
Did you get Undersecretary Yamamoto?
103
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:36,121
The chief is in his room.
104
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:38,498
Okay! He'll write the editorial in time.
Akiyama!
105
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:41,668
What was Undersecretary Yamamoto like?
106
00:07:41,836 --> 00:07:45,380
He's a mysterious man.
107
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:48,967
But it's clear the Tripartite Pact
is a long way off.
108
00:07:49,886 --> 00:07:53,180
lnternally, the Navy is still fighting
the Boshin War.
109
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:54,556
The Boshin War?
110
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:57,976
The Navy's inner circle come
from Satsuma and Choshu clans.
111
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:02,272
But the minister and the general
come from Morioka and Sendai.
112
00:08:02,398 --> 00:08:05,317
And the Undersecretary
comes from Nagaoka.
113
00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:08,111
They all fought Satsuma and Choshu.
114
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:12,157
l see, of course they'll clash.
115
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:19,206
WAR RECORDS OF lMPERlAL JAPAN
116
00:08:25,755 --> 00:08:27,756
War Records of lmperial Japan.
117
00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:32,469
ln 1 868, even as the
Boshin Civil War raged,
118
00:08:32,637 --> 00:08:36,223
our nation entered the new Meiji era,
119
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:39,893
and based on twin victories
over Russia and China,
120
00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:43,396
grew to be counted among
the world's five great nations.
121
00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:47,317
And the Great War,
which erupted in the Taisho era,
122
00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:50,946
brought our nation
unprecedented prosperity.
123
00:08:52,198 --> 00:08:57,244
But as the Showa era dawned,
the great depression stormed Japan.
124
00:08:57,828 --> 00:09:01,748
Advancing on Manchuria
was Japan's solution.
125
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:05,335
Ever since, our conflict
with China intensified
126
00:09:05,461 --> 00:09:08,755
and over the course of seven years
of localized combat,
127
00:09:08,923 --> 00:09:14,135
domestically, Japan witnessed
three major military coups d'etats,
128
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:17,222
spreading social anxiety.
129
00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:22,811
On July 7th, 1937, war with China erupts.
130
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:25,855
Japan and China are finally
in full-scale war.
131
00:09:27,149 --> 00:09:30,652
The Army believed it would win in
one month, but the Soviet Union, England,
132
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:34,406
and America all aided
Chiang Kai-shek's government
133
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:37,200
and the fighting bogged down.
134
00:09:40,121 --> 00:09:41,871
That was when Germany,
under command of Hitler,
135
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:45,667
asked Japan to join the
Tripartite Pact with ltaly.
136
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:52,299
For Japan, bogged down in China,
it was an extremely attractive offer.
137
00:09:53,801 --> 00:09:57,429
The Japanese people were in
a frenzy over Germany's
138
00:09:57,555 --> 00:10:00,181
ferocious military advance over Europe.
139
00:10:00,349 --> 00:10:03,893
But despite an avalanche of support
for the Tripartite Pact,
140
00:10:04,061 --> 00:10:08,565
the Navy's sole opposition managed
to prevent its conclusion.
141
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:13,403
"...to join forces with our German ally,
142
00:10:13,529 --> 00:10:18,074
"to liberate Asia from the grip of
the Euro-American powers,
143
00:10:18,242 --> 00:10:21,453
"in order to build the New East Asian Order,
144
00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:25,832
"now is the time for the Navy to
decisively support the Tripartite Pact.
145
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:28,918
"We fervently desire this."
146
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:32,047
All right, that's the editorial. Submit this!
147
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:33,256
Yes!
148
00:10:36,344 --> 00:10:37,594
Yes? Political Desk.
149
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:41,556
Aborted assassination?
150
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:45,935
ASSASSlNATlON PLOT

UNDERSECRETARY YAMAMOTO

00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:50,940
l demand that the Navy's Yonai, Yamamoto,
153
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:54,319
and lnoue, who all advance
154
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,821
Britain and America's cause,
155
00:10:56,947 --> 00:11:00,867
by blocking the Tripartite Pact,
so essential to Japanese policy today,
156
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:03,203
all resign immediately!
157
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:06,498
The Military Police have offered protection.
158
00:11:06,624 --> 00:11:09,751
The usual routine is fine.
The Army's Military Police scare me more.
159
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:10,919
But, Sir...
160
00:11:11,045 --> 00:11:12,921
The usual routine is fine.
161
00:11:13,047 --> 00:11:17,509
lf my death awakens
the Japanese people, so be it.
162
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:20,220
Totally inappropriate!
163
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:22,931
Don't twist things your way!
164
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:26,726
lsn't the Tripartite Pact necessary
so that Germany can restrain
165
00:11:26,936 --> 00:11:28,728
the Soviet Union from invading south!
166
00:11:28,938 --> 00:11:31,981
lncomprehensible!
Do you have any brains in your head?
167
00:11:32,149 --> 00:11:35,235
Why the hell would Germany move
to support Japan?
168
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:36,611
What!
169
00:11:37,613 --> 00:11:38,697
Oh, Sir...
170
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:42,701
Are you all analysing international affairs?
171
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:45,495
These naval officers are worse
than the Army.
172
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:46,871
Undersecretary,
173
00:11:47,581 --> 00:11:51,459
why do you not acknowledge
the strength of our ally, Germany?
174
00:11:51,585 --> 00:11:53,002
Our ally?
175
00:11:53,587 --> 00:11:56,297
You're awfully devoted to Germany.
176
00:11:56,465 --> 00:12:00,552
ln that case,
l presume you've read Hitler's Mein Kampf?
177
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,220
Every last page.
178
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:19,779
ln other words,
179
00:12:20,906 --> 00:12:24,993
the Japanese are an inferior race,
lacking in imagination,
180
00:12:25,327 --> 00:12:27,662
but they are skilful and clever
181
00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:31,124
and perfect for Germany to use!
182
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:33,501
l never read those words!
183
00:12:33,627 --> 00:12:35,211
Of course not!
184
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:40,425
Because Chapter 1 1 in your edition
is conveniently deleted!
185
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:46,514
Unfortunately, it seems
an essential part was missing
186
00:12:46,682 --> 00:12:49,058
from the Japanese translation
you men read.
187
00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:53,605
lf you don't trace things back to their source,
188
00:12:54,523 --> 00:12:56,858
you can overlook the essentials.
189
00:12:58,027 --> 00:12:59,110
Enter.
190
00:12:59,653 --> 00:13:01,029
Excuse me.
191
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:04,073
What?
192
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:08,036
Germany signed a non-aggression pact
with the Soviet Union.
193
00:13:09,663 --> 00:13:14,250
Your ally has sided with our sworn enemy.
194
00:13:18,506 --> 00:13:19,839
Prime Minister Hiranuma is
dissolving the cabinet.
195
00:13:21,592 --> 00:13:26,763
The signing of the non-aggression pact
between Germany and the Soviet...
196
00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:32,060
Hitler gave up on Japan because
we dithered. Farewell Tripartite Pact.
197
00:13:32,228 --> 00:13:36,648
War with America will have to wait
thanks to the cowards in the Navy.
198
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:38,566
- Welcome.
- All done with the show?
199
00:13:38,692 --> 00:13:41,861
l'm so hungry. Noodles please!
200
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:45,949
At least remove your stage makeup
before filling your belly.
201
00:13:46,116 --> 00:13:49,577
Nobody brings me snacks
to my dressing room any more.
202
00:13:49,703 --> 00:13:50,954
Not in this economy...
203
00:13:51,121 --> 00:13:56,251
lf they don't start a war soon,
my factory will go bankrupt.
204
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:59,671
Say, if a war starts,
205
00:13:59,797 --> 00:14:02,590
will the economy really get better?
206
00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:06,427
ln the Great War, 20 years ago,
the economy quickly recovered.
207
00:14:06,595 --> 00:14:08,638
That's right, war is best.
208
00:14:08,806 --> 00:14:12,100
We're already at war with China.
209
00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:14,978
We can't start wars everywhere.
210
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:18,606
But it's America that's behind China.
211
00:14:18,732 --> 00:14:21,693
So if we beat America,
we can beat China, too.
212
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:22,902
Exactly!
213
00:14:23,112 --> 00:14:25,196
YAMAMOTO PROMOTED
TO FLEET COMMANDER
214
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:26,906
Six pence!
215
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:30,952
This one, too.
216
00:14:33,831 --> 00:14:38,293
Minister, the Tripartite Pact
negotiations ended,
217
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,795
but none of the problems are solved.
218
00:14:42,464 --> 00:14:46,759
Please let me remain
and serve as Undersecretary.
219
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:53,641
But if you stay here in headquarters,
220
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:57,979
you'll run out of lives.
221
00:15:00,482 --> 00:15:05,778
Why don't you spend some time out at sea.
222
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:16,623
Hey, lnoue.
223
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:21,669
Thank you for your long service.
224
00:15:23,255 --> 00:15:24,672
l'm grateful.
225
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:28,801
You forcefully pressured the Ministry
226
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:31,638
into stopping the Tripartite Pact.
227
00:15:32,264 --> 00:15:36,601
You saved the Navy.
228
00:15:37,478 --> 00:15:41,314
No, l had my hands full reining in the youth.
229
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:43,816
Which left no time for constructive
230
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:48,738
discussions about the future
of Japan. l'm disappointed.
231
00:15:48,864 --> 00:15:49,989
Well...
232
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:53,826
ln the fall, l'll be transferred
to the China Sea fleet.
233
00:15:53,994 --> 00:15:56,871
l had hoped that at least you
would stay in the Ministry.
234
00:15:57,873 --> 00:15:59,290
Admiral Yamamoto...
235
00:16:04,672 --> 00:16:06,172
Thank you for everything.
236
00:16:07,007 --> 00:16:09,884
Right, we'll meet again.
237
00:16:23,524 --> 00:16:25,733
So you're the Fleet Commander.
238
00:16:26,610 --> 00:16:31,406
You, who never aspired to fame or fortune.
239
00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:36,911
You're unmatched in the Navy, Hori,
240
00:16:37,121 --> 00:16:39,455
and much more suited than me.
241
00:16:40,082 --> 00:16:41,749
Won't you take my place?
242
00:16:42,751 --> 00:16:47,672
l'm a civilian now.
They fired me five years ago.
243
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:51,426
"Fleet in being."
244
00:16:51,593 --> 00:16:56,889
A nation's navy is always defending.
245
00:16:57,766 --> 00:17:00,268
lt exists to guarantee peace.
246
00:17:01,937 --> 00:17:05,940
The non-combative fleet
you kept lobbying for,
247
00:17:06,608 --> 00:17:08,359
is hard to realise.
248
00:17:09,445 --> 00:17:13,781
The current Military Command
knows nothing of war
249
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:16,576
and neither do the military planners.
250
00:17:18,328 --> 00:17:20,955
lt's impossible to persuade them.
251
00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:24,167
Hori...
252
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:25,793
Yeah?
253
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:30,381
Take my place?
254
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:47,356
lt's been five years since l've been to sea.
255
00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:00,369
September, 1939,
256
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:04,248
Yamamoto bid farewell to the Navy Ministry.
257
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:09,754
And he assumed his post as Fleet
Commander on the flagship, Nagato,
258
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:12,757
based on Hashira lsland in the lnland Sea.
259
00:18:13,342 --> 00:18:17,678
Just then, the blitzkrieg struck Europe.
260
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:22,683
Germany finally launched
its attack against Poland.
261
00:18:23,352 --> 00:18:27,188
ln response,
England and France declared war.
262
00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:31,484
The peace in Europe did
not even last 20 years,
263
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:35,279
and eight months passed in
this new Second World War.
264
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:42,995
Meanwhile, under Yamamoto's command,
265
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:46,749
the Japanese fleet improved the
performance of its aircraft carriers,
266
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,294
vigorously training
its carrier-based planes.
267
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:54,715
May, 1940,
268
00:18:55,008 --> 00:18:58,511
Germany broke its inaction
and began invading again.
269
00:18:59,012 --> 00:19:04,308
Quickly conquering Belgium and Holland,
in one month, it occupied Paris.
270
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:10,398
lt was an overwhelming victory,
a "blitzkrieg" in every sense.
271
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:13,943
As though in concert with
Germany's blitzkrieg,
272
00:19:14,069 --> 00:19:19,240
voices called anew for
the Tripartite Pact in Japan.
273
00:19:23,036 --> 00:19:26,038
The Germans can't seem to be stopped.
274
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:29,250
Once our Yamato battleship is built,
we'll be invincible.
275
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:32,587
Chief of Staff, the future
belongs to aeroplanes.
276
00:19:32,754 --> 00:19:36,674
We could build 1 ,000 planes for
the price of one of your battleships.
277
00:19:36,884 --> 00:19:41,304
Listen, the history of our Japanese
Navy is built on battles at sea...
278
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:44,599
These lnland Sea sardines are tasty.
279
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:46,517
Yes.
280
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:53,107
Both of you hail from
the lnland Sea area, don't you?
281
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:54,483
Yes.
282
00:19:54,610 --> 00:19:59,155
l'm envious. Your fish are tasty to the bone.
283
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:08,956
Where did you get these,
the sweet dumplings!
284
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:10,666
Sweet dumplings?
285
00:20:11,793 --> 00:20:14,086
Enter, Makino.
286
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:15,463
Excuse me.
287
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:25,139
l'm Ensign Makino, who served under
you at Kasumigaura Air Corps.
288
00:20:25,307 --> 00:20:28,893
l assumed my position on the Akagi's
combat unit yesterday.
289
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:31,312
Good to hear.
290
00:20:32,189 --> 00:20:33,606
ls this your doing?
291
00:20:34,358 --> 00:20:38,611
Yes! l was given leave and
went home to Nagaoka.
292
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,905
They're my mother's homemade dumplings.
293
00:20:43,492 --> 00:20:45,034
Try some.
294
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:49,163
Sugar on sweet dumplings?
295
00:20:49,331 --> 00:20:50,414
That's right.
296
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:52,500
ls your mother well?
297
00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:57,004
She is delighted that l will be
working under your command.
298
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:17,441
Tasty.
299
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:20,736
Enjoy.
300
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:22,655
Thanks.
301
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:34,875
Saeki, your rear!
302
00:22:05,741 --> 00:22:07,116
Oh, no, rats!
303
00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:08,367
Great!
304
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:11,746
Victory!
305
00:22:12,873 --> 00:22:14,874
Arima, stay focused on your rear!
306
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:16,250
Yes!
307
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:23,132
Always a battlefield?
308
00:22:23,258 --> 00:22:28,387
Yes, it means endeavour in everything
as though you are at war.
309
00:22:28,597 --> 00:22:32,099
But the Nagaoka samurai
have three principles.
310
00:22:32,267 --> 00:22:33,309
Three?
311
00:22:33,769 --> 00:22:37,188
The second is Kawai's spirit of duty.
312
00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:41,609
Kawai fought to the bitter end, never
forgetting his debt to the Shogunate.
313
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:43,569
-Tokugawa?
-Debt?
314
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:44,904
Yes.
315
00:22:47,115 --> 00:22:49,158
Thirdly, the spirit of 100 bushels of rice.
316
00:22:49,326 --> 00:22:50,451
One hundred bushels of rice?
317
00:22:50,619 --> 00:22:53,621
Even after the battle was lost
and our clansmen were starving,
318
00:22:53,789 --> 00:22:58,459
our clan clung to the gift of 100 bushels
of rice, building a school with its profit.
319
00:22:58,627 --> 00:23:00,836
When everyone was starving?
320
00:23:01,296 --> 00:23:03,964
A hundred bushels of rice are gone
if you eat them.
321
00:23:04,132 --> 00:23:07,676
But if you spend it on people,
it can grow to be 10,000 bushels.
322
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:11,305
lf you are to lead men,
always consider the future.
323
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:22,775
ALWAYS A BATTLEFlELD
324
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:26,362
100,000 men.
325
00:23:26,488 --> 00:23:27,530
What?
326
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:33,160
We lost 100,000 men in
the Russo-Japanese war.
327
00:23:33,662 --> 00:23:39,166
But after 20 or 30 years,
everyone quickly forgets.
328
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:43,421
The newspapers and the people.
329
00:23:53,223 --> 00:23:56,934
Being good at forgetting
330
00:23:57,185 --> 00:24:00,062
is one of our people's strengths, as well.
331
00:24:07,195 --> 00:24:09,071
- Please.
- l know.
332
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:17,621
ln order to participate in Germany's
new world economy,
333
00:24:17,747 --> 00:24:20,332
now is the time to conclude
the Tripartite Pact.
334
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:23,836
We must not
335
00:24:25,213 --> 00:24:27,214
miss this bus...
336
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:33,345
The Tripartite Pact,
337
00:24:34,222 --> 00:24:38,726
is now an agreement between four nations,
including the Soviet Union,
338
00:24:38,852 --> 00:24:42,980
and confronted with these four nations,
even America
339
00:24:43,106 --> 00:24:45,399
will reconsider its disrespect.
340
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:51,280
We are done with the weak-willed Navy!
341
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:56,285
Now is the time to conclude
the Tripartite Pact!
342
00:24:56,411 --> 00:24:57,745
Don't miss the bus!
343
00:24:57,871 --> 00:25:00,206
Listen, Navy Minister!
344
00:25:01,416 --> 00:25:04,210
MlNlSTRY OF THE NAVY
345
00:25:04,336 --> 00:25:09,423
l have onlyjust taken Yoshida's
place as Navy Minister,
346
00:25:09,883 --> 00:25:15,262
but political stagnation
must not be permitted.
347
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:21,018
lf the Navy persists in opposing
the Tripartite Pact,
348
00:25:21,770 --> 00:25:24,647
Konoe's cabinet will be forced to resign
349
00:25:24,773 --> 00:25:28,901
and we cannot be held to blame.
350
00:25:29,110 --> 00:25:33,656
Therefore, l reluctantly propose
351
00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:36,367
that we revise our policy.
352
00:25:37,869 --> 00:25:40,287
l hope that you officers
353
00:25:40,413 --> 00:25:45,960
will join my support for the Tripartite Pact.
354
00:25:49,589 --> 00:25:52,132
Any objections?
355
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:55,594
Please wait.
356
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:01,892
l swear total allegiance
357
00:26:02,102 --> 00:26:04,144
to your command, Minister.
358
00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:08,899
But l do have some concerns,
so let me ask you,
359
00:26:10,819 --> 00:26:13,153
if the Tripartite Pact is concluded,
360
00:26:13,321 --> 00:26:17,658
the chances of a conflict
with America increase.
361
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,829
Currently, our lack of aviators is apparent.
362
00:26:23,081 --> 00:26:27,001
lf we do go to war with America,
we will need
363
00:26:27,168 --> 00:26:30,421
1 ,000 fighter planes and 1 ,000 bombers.
364
00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:35,593
ln other words, we must double our
current plane strength.
365
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,182
But our country relies on America
for steel, oil
366
00:26:42,475 --> 00:26:46,186
and other manufacturing resources.
367
00:26:47,230 --> 00:26:50,316
lf we sign with Germany now,
368
00:26:50,525 --> 00:26:53,694
we will inevitably lose all of that.
369
00:26:54,195 --> 00:26:58,949
ln which case,
how have you revised your plans,
370
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:02,328
to compensate for that loss?
371
00:27:03,663 --> 00:27:06,707
Please tell me.
372
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:15,257
We will await the future deliberations
of each department...
373
00:27:16,051 --> 00:27:19,845
Minister, that is not an answer.
374
00:27:20,597 --> 00:27:25,934
Please tell me the reason why you think
a war against America is possible.
375
00:27:30,565 --> 00:27:33,567
l'm sure you have your opinions,
376
00:27:34,069 --> 00:27:38,489
but the majority is in favour, so...
377
00:27:45,622 --> 00:27:46,830
Excuse me.
378
00:27:49,626 --> 00:27:52,503
A telegram from the commander.
379
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:11,939
"Begin planning the attack."
380
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:29,665
l'm home!
381
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:33,961
Oh, my. Welcome home.
382
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:36,797
Yes.
383
00:28:38,675 --> 00:28:39,800
Thanks for the food.
384
00:28:44,305 --> 00:28:49,309
Yoshimasa, pickles are for
the end of the meal.
385
00:28:49,436 --> 00:28:50,519
Yes.
386
00:28:50,645 --> 00:28:54,648
Take a sip of miso soup before you eat rice.
387
00:28:58,486 --> 00:29:02,823
What's most important is to clean
your plate and eat your fill.
388
00:29:02,949 --> 00:29:04,032
Yes.
389
00:29:07,996 --> 00:29:09,663
Here, Yoshimasa.
390
00:29:11,332 --> 00:29:12,416
Here.
391
00:29:12,667 --> 00:29:13,959
Thank you.
392
00:29:15,712 --> 00:29:17,254
Here, Sumi.
393
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:18,630
There you go.
394
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:20,007
Thank you.
395
00:29:23,470 --> 00:29:24,762
Here, Ma.
396
00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:26,930
Thank you.
397
00:29:29,184 --> 00:29:30,559
Here, Tadao.
398
00:29:32,479 --> 00:29:34,354
Thank you.
399
00:29:36,399 --> 00:29:37,608
Here, Mother.
400
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,443
Thank you.
401
00:30:00,924 --> 00:30:06,303
Commander Yamamoto, it seems
we'll finallyjoin the Tripartite Pact.
402
00:30:09,224 --> 00:30:10,808
"The national defence
403
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:17,731
"is to provide requisite armed forces,
but also to grow national strength,
404
00:30:17,941 --> 00:30:21,860
"while using diplomacy to evade war.
405
00:30:22,028 --> 00:30:24,446
"That is the essence of national defence.
406
00:30:24,572 --> 00:30:25,823
"ln other words,
407
00:30:26,741 --> 00:30:30,702
"the national defence is not
exclusive to soldiers..."
408
00:30:33,706 --> 00:30:35,749
Those are the words of Admiral Kato,
409
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:37,876
who, taking Japan's future
into consideration,
410
00:30:38,044 --> 00:30:40,212
decided to sign
the Washington Disarmament Treaty,
411
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:43,090
limiting naval armaments.
412
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,762
The words of that notorious Prime Minister
Kato who created the flip-flop cabinet.
413
00:30:55,728 --> 00:30:59,314
September 27th, 1940.
414
00:30:59,732 --> 00:31:04,820
The Tripartite Pact which shook
our nation for three years,
415
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:06,780
was finally concluded.
416
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:13,912
The bus Japan climbed on
has taken off, engines gunning.
417
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:20,460
Who's in my plane?
418
00:31:22,797 --> 00:31:24,047
Commander.
419
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:27,968
l wish this could fly to Monaco.
420
00:31:28,469 --> 00:31:29,803
Excuse me, Sir!
421
00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:33,849
There's a gambling den called a casino.
422
00:31:35,059 --> 00:31:39,646
lf l hadn't become a sailor,
l'd have made my fortune there.
423
00:31:40,106 --> 00:31:41,523
l see.
424
00:31:42,775 --> 00:31:46,028
Commander, may l ask you a question?
425
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:55,162
l boarded your plane,
l guess l have to answer you.
426
00:31:57,582 --> 00:31:58,665
What?
427
00:31:59,334 --> 00:32:03,837
As a man from Nagaoka, l can
understand Kawai's spirit of study.
428
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:06,006
lndeed...
429
00:32:07,842 --> 00:32:13,096
Always remember the debt to the
Shogunate and fight to the bitter end.
430
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:16,892
But the Shogunate ended years ago.
431
00:32:17,060 --> 00:32:20,896
What are we to feel indebted to today?
432
00:32:28,154 --> 00:32:30,572
To our parents who gave birth to us.
433
00:32:31,074 --> 00:32:34,117
And our birthplace which
nurtured their lives.
434
00:32:34,786 --> 00:32:36,703
ln other words, our country.
435
00:32:37,789 --> 00:32:41,667
lt means we must labour for Japan.
436
00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:46,463
Yes, Sir.
437
00:33:13,741 --> 00:33:14,866
Excuse me.
438
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:16,076
Yes.
439
00:33:21,332 --> 00:33:23,125
l've brought Admiral Nagumo.
440
00:33:34,262 --> 00:33:36,763
l'm assuming my new duties.
441
00:33:37,181 --> 00:33:40,726
Through strenuous efforts,
l will execute my duties.
442
00:33:41,436 --> 00:33:42,769
Right.
443
00:33:45,023 --> 00:33:46,523
lt's been a while.
444
00:33:47,608 --> 00:33:49,484
Care to stay for supper?
445
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:55,949
No, l must return to my new duties
on the Akagi.
446
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:57,951
l see.
447
00:34:14,093 --> 00:34:18,638
ln other words, Nagumo commands
the No. 1 Aircraft Carrier Fleet,
448
00:34:18,806 --> 00:34:21,850
while commanding the combat planes
on the Akagi and the Kaga.
449
00:34:22,268 --> 00:34:27,397
While Yamaguchi commands
the No. 2 Aircraft Carrier Fleet.
450
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:30,817
The Navy made a radical
personnel assignment.
451
00:34:30,943 --> 00:34:33,070
ls there a problem?
452
00:34:33,571 --> 00:34:38,075
Nagumo is a pure "fleet faction" man
who pushed hard to expand the fleet.
453
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:42,829
He's the one who shoved Hori,
a "treaty faction" man, into early retirement.
454
00:34:42,997 --> 00:34:47,626
Oh, Vice Admiral Hori, renowned as
a rare talent that could lead the Navy.
455
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:51,088
And Hori was Yamamoto's classmate
and his closest friend.
456
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:54,549
There is no way that Yamamoto
and Nagumo will get along.
457
00:34:55,051 --> 00:34:59,763
Commander Yamamoto has it rough with
Nagumo in charge of his combat planes.
458
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:01,098
lndeed.
459
00:35:03,976 --> 00:35:05,060
Hello, political desk.
460
00:35:09,398 --> 00:35:11,900
Germany voided its non-aggression
pact with the Soviets!
461
00:35:12,026 --> 00:35:14,861
What! Turn the radio on.
462
00:35:16,823 --> 00:35:19,950
...is advancing to the Eastern Front.
l repeat.
463
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:24,955
Early yesterday, Germany announced
it is voiding its non-aggression pact.
464
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:30,001
Nazi military forces are marching to
the Eastern Front, heading for Moscow.
465
00:35:39,262 --> 00:35:42,973
With the sudden Germany/Soviet conflict,
Munakata couldn't leave the office,
466
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:46,059
so l took the liberty of coming in his stead.
467
00:35:47,770 --> 00:35:50,397
The bus seems to be racing
in an unexpected direction.
468
00:35:52,775 --> 00:35:55,360
The route is somewhat off course,
469
00:35:56,362 --> 00:35:59,030
but as Munakata writes in his editorials,
470
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:04,077
if Germany manages to crush the Soviets,
our greatest northern threat disappears.
471
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,206
This bus has no choice but to keep running.
472
00:36:08,791 --> 00:36:10,125
How far will it run?
473
00:36:10,251 --> 00:36:11,293
What?
474
00:36:11,419 --> 00:36:14,212
l'm asking, what is its destination?
475
00:36:18,926 --> 00:36:24,931
The Great East Asian
Co-Prosperity Sphere.
476
00:36:27,059 --> 00:36:31,771
lf there really is such a place,
l'd sure like to visit it once.
477
00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:37,319
The job of a newspaper
478
00:36:37,486 --> 00:36:41,406
is to witness and listen to
new global developments
479
00:36:41,532 --> 00:36:44,826
and convey them widely.
480
00:36:46,454 --> 00:36:49,748
Open wide your eyes,
your ears and your heart
481
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:52,792
when you look around the world.
482
00:36:54,795 --> 00:37:00,175
That's the duty of those who
shoulder the next generation, Shindo.
483
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:24,824
War Records of lmperial Japan.
Attack on Franco-lndonesia.
484
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:30,538
ln July, 1941 , in order to secure
natural resources, the lmperial Navy
485
00:37:30,831 --> 00:37:34,167
finally invaded the French colony
of lndonesia.
486
00:37:34,752 --> 00:37:38,046
To retaliate, America stopped all exports
487
00:37:38,172 --> 00:37:41,341
of steel, oil and other essential
resources to Japan...
488
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:46,137
Relations between Japan and America
have now become extremely volatile.
489
00:37:51,185 --> 00:37:55,105
ln the unlikely event we go to war
against America and England,
490
00:37:57,024 --> 00:38:00,860
how will we be able to end hostilities?
491
00:38:02,029 --> 00:38:07,117
Prime Minister, it's true that America
is a powerful nation.
492
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:11,871
Even if we do win a decisive victory at sea,
493
00:38:12,081 --> 00:38:16,835
they will not easily surrender and
we must anticipate a long war.
494
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:24,134
But if Germany wins decisively
over Europe and the Soviets,
495
00:38:25,845 --> 00:38:28,888
American public opinion
will change dramatically,
496
00:38:29,098 --> 00:38:33,435
and there is the possibility
that it will end the war.
497
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:37,480
Possibility?
498
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:44,571
A battle must be fought
to know its outcome.
499
00:38:58,210 --> 00:39:00,211
Finally made it in under 15 minutes.
500
00:39:00,671 --> 00:39:04,174
On our ship, Hiryu,
we'll clock even shorter times.
501
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:06,217
lt's you, Yamaguchi.
502
00:39:07,303 --> 00:39:10,472
l heard you were inspecting the combat
squadrons and arrived to assist you.
503
00:39:10,765 --> 00:39:14,768
Liar, you just want to eat the Navy's
best chow, here on the Nagato.
504
00:39:15,269 --> 00:39:16,936
There's that, too.
505
00:39:20,316 --> 00:39:22,275
Can it not be stopped?
506
00:39:23,611 --> 00:39:26,321
lt seems not.
507
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,201
Since when did the Navy
start to favour battle?
508
00:39:33,287 --> 00:39:35,163
l wonder...
509
00:39:36,582 --> 00:39:39,709
A soldier must follow orders, but...
510
00:39:40,753 --> 00:39:46,299
By the time you command this fleet,
the Navy will change.
511
00:39:47,843 --> 00:39:52,514
No, l believe you are the commander
who will change the Navy.
512
00:40:21,210 --> 00:40:23,461
Too slow! Sixty seconds between
descending planes.
513
00:40:23,629 --> 00:40:26,381
Saeki, don't look at your altimeter!
Eyeball it!
514
00:40:26,507 --> 00:40:27,674
Sir!
515
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,300
Makino!
516
00:40:30,010 --> 00:40:31,219
Commander!
517
00:40:41,021 --> 00:40:43,773
Your squadron leader is from Nagaoka.
l bet he's tough!
518
00:40:43,899 --> 00:40:45,024
Sir!
519
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,902
Where are you from?
520
00:40:48,404 --> 00:40:50,405
Sir, l'm from Kagoshima!
521
00:40:50,614 --> 00:40:51,698
Yamaguchi!
522
00:40:56,787 --> 00:40:58,872
From Satsuma and Choshu!
523
00:41:00,791 --> 00:41:05,211
The future of Japan rests on your shoulders!
524
00:41:06,297 --> 00:41:07,380
Work hard!
525
00:41:08,174 --> 00:41:09,215
Yes, Sir!
526
00:41:10,342 --> 00:41:12,051
Nagaoka, Satsuma and Choshu!
527
00:41:13,387 --> 00:41:16,473
Work together to defend Japan!
528
00:41:17,224 --> 00:41:18,308
Yes, Sir!
529
00:41:20,853 --> 00:41:25,315
Special edition! Tojo's Prime Minister!
530
00:41:25,441 --> 00:41:26,566
Give me one.
531
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:27,859
Two pence.
532
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:35,450
We keep getting new prime ministers.
533
00:41:35,659 --> 00:41:37,702
We've had nine in five years.
534
00:41:37,870 --> 00:41:42,415
That's good. We finally have
an Army general as prime minister.
535
00:41:42,583 --> 00:41:45,585
Finally, Japan's going to war.
536
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:49,214
But can we really beat America?
537
00:41:49,381 --> 00:41:54,594
First, it was the Mongols, then the
Chinese, the Russians and the Great War.
538
00:41:54,762 --> 00:41:58,431
When Japan fights a foreign war,
we always win!
539
00:42:01,393 --> 00:42:03,937
The country may win, but people still die.
540
00:42:06,607 --> 00:42:10,944
My nephew died in China last year.
541
00:42:11,987 --> 00:42:14,489
They haven't even sent his bones home.
542
00:42:26,126 --> 00:42:31,297
"Navy representative to the London
Naval Treaty negotiations..."
543
00:42:40,766 --> 00:42:41,808
Here.
544
00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:44,477
Thanks.
545
00:42:45,354 --> 00:42:46,980
Still researching Yamamoto?
546
00:42:47,106 --> 00:42:48,231
Yes.
547
00:42:49,858 --> 00:42:53,319
We fought China when he was 10,
Russia when he was 20.
548
00:42:53,487 --> 00:42:56,489
He graduated naval academy in
time for the Battle of Tsushima.
549
00:42:57,366 --> 00:43:02,579
He lost two fingers from his left hand
from Russian cannon fire.
550
00:43:03,789 --> 00:43:08,710
So Yamamoto was the first sailor
the Navy commended for being wounded.
551
00:43:08,836 --> 00:43:12,589
The Great War at 30,
the Manchurian lncident at 47,
552
00:43:12,965 --> 00:43:14,841
war starts with China at 53,
553
00:43:15,009 --> 00:43:19,637
and when he becomes
Fleet Commander at 55
554
00:43:19,847 --> 00:43:23,975
war breaks out in Europe
on the very next day.
555
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:29,981
The path of Yamamoto's life is in
itself lmperial Japan's War Record.
556
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:40,491
"Navy Orders No. 1 .
557
00:43:40,743 --> 00:43:44,912
"Orders to Fleet Commander Yamamoto.
558
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,291
"First, in order to defend itself, our empire
559
00:43:48,417 --> 00:43:52,545
"will make all strategic
preparations necessary
560
00:43:52,838 --> 00:43:58,343
"to attack America, England and Holland
in early December.
561
00:43:58,510 --> 00:44:01,429
"Second, the Fleet Commander
562
00:44:01,597 --> 00:44:04,807
"will implement all strategic preparations..."
563
00:44:22,368 --> 00:44:25,912
lt's the midsummer festival
564
00:44:26,747 --> 00:44:31,918
Time for eggplant rice pot
565
00:44:39,218 --> 00:44:43,930
l burned the tip of my nose
566
00:44:45,265 --> 00:44:50,603
licking up every scrap...
567
00:44:57,444 --> 00:45:01,906
l find it pathetic that this is my ordered fate.
568
00:45:02,449 --> 00:45:07,495
lt's too late to lay blame at anyone's feet.
569
00:45:09,289 --> 00:45:14,669
My current position, in which
l must resolve to violate
570
00:45:14,962 --> 00:45:19,966
all my personal convictions
as l work without distractions
571
00:45:20,509 --> 00:45:23,720
is very odd indeed...
572
00:45:25,973 --> 00:45:29,475
This is part of my fate.
573
00:45:36,817 --> 00:45:41,821
Fate is cruel.
574
00:45:47,995 --> 00:45:49,454
Excuse me.
575
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:55,168
The outline of the strategy is ready.
576
00:46:04,136 --> 00:46:08,473
PEARL HARBOR ATTACK PLANS
577
00:46:13,353 --> 00:46:14,395
Right.
578
00:46:17,357 --> 00:46:20,610
The giant force will consist of
six aircraft carriers
579
00:46:20,778 --> 00:46:22,904
and 350 carrier-based aeroplanes.
580
00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:27,408
lt will converge in the bay of Eto lsland
and head east across the Pacific.
581
00:46:27,576 --> 00:46:32,747
Then it will head due south to
200 naval miles off Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
582
00:46:33,165 --> 00:46:36,292
The carrier-based planes will attack
Pearl Harbor with torpedoes,
583
00:46:36,502 --> 00:46:39,086
horizontal bombing and dive-bombing.
584
00:46:39,755 --> 00:46:43,674
lt will destroy America's Pacific fleet,
anchoring at port.
585
00:46:43,884 --> 00:46:48,638
But aren't the seas of the Northern
Pacific dangerously rough in winter?
586
00:46:48,764 --> 00:46:51,140
- That is what the enemy assumes.
- What about re-supplies?
587
00:46:51,266 --> 00:46:53,643
We are currently improving plans
for re-supplying at sea.
588
00:46:53,769 --> 00:46:58,272
There are problems with the attack.
Pearl Harbor bay is only 12 metres deep.
589
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,608
lf we drop torpedoes,
they'll hit the ocean floor.
590
00:47:01,193 --> 00:47:04,487
We're adapting our torpedoes
to compensate.
591
00:47:04,613 --> 00:47:06,781
This is too big a gamble!
592
00:47:07,032 --> 00:47:12,286
We stick with the command's strategy,
attacking the southern oilfields first!
593
00:47:17,626 --> 00:47:20,837
What if enemy planes start bombing
594
00:47:21,046 --> 00:47:24,423
the Japanese homeland, while we're
focused on the southern oilfields?
595
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:28,135
That's...
596
00:47:28,303 --> 00:47:31,472
This strategy is not a gamble.
597
00:47:33,433 --> 00:47:38,646
lf we have to go to war with America,
we have to destroy their carriers first.
598
00:47:39,648 --> 00:47:44,861
lf we free up their mobile units,
they'll stage an airbase near Tokyo.
599
00:47:46,530 --> 00:47:48,197
Japan's skies will become vulnerable.
600
00:47:49,116 --> 00:47:53,160
America is currently building 200 warships.
Compared to them,
601
00:47:53,328 --> 00:47:57,832
we can only build 30 in the next three years.
602
00:47:58,292 --> 00:48:01,502
lf we have no choice but to fight them,
603
00:48:01,795 --> 00:48:04,839
we attack first, prepared for annihilation.
604
00:48:05,007 --> 00:48:08,801
We ferociously attack their main fleet,
605
00:48:09,511 --> 00:48:14,765
pummelling the American Navy
and the American will to fight
606
00:48:16,184 --> 00:48:19,854
with the vigour of our fighting
spirit and then immediately
607
00:48:20,939 --> 00:48:22,857
sue for peace.
608
00:48:24,693 --> 00:48:26,277
Early peace.
609
00:48:28,030 --> 00:48:32,283
There is no other path to Japan's survival.
610
00:48:37,372 --> 00:48:42,752
Even if we die upon each other's sword,
we must destroy the enemy's jewels.
611
00:48:46,715 --> 00:48:48,716
lf this should fail,
612
00:48:50,552 --> 00:48:52,219
our country will perish.
613
00:48:54,056 --> 00:48:59,226
The Hawaii plan represents my conviction.
614
00:49:02,064 --> 00:49:05,733
MlNlSTRY OF THE NAVY
615
00:49:08,195 --> 00:49:12,740
Yamamoto's talking about
preparing for annihilation,
616
00:49:13,033 --> 00:49:15,993
but a war with America will be long.
617
00:49:17,871 --> 00:49:22,833
Nagumo, return with my fleet intact.
618
00:49:23,377 --> 00:49:26,671
Don't let a single ship sink.
619
00:49:28,632 --> 00:49:29,799
Yes, Sir.
620
00:49:37,265 --> 00:49:38,307
Hello.
621
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,393
Thanks for your business.
622
00:49:48,860 --> 00:49:50,861
Welcome home.
623
00:49:54,783 --> 00:49:57,118
What's that, snapper?
624
00:49:57,869 --> 00:50:00,371
Mother ordered it after you called.
625
00:50:01,081 --> 00:50:02,164
Where is she?
626
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:04,709
She's sick in bed, with a bad cold.
627
00:50:07,879 --> 00:50:09,964
Oh, l see.
628
00:50:11,466 --> 00:50:15,886
One, two, one, two...
629
00:50:26,064 --> 00:50:27,815
l'm so sorry.
630
00:50:28,150 --> 00:50:30,609
Do you have a fever?
631
00:50:30,819 --> 00:50:33,362
l'm over it now.
632
00:50:36,658 --> 00:50:39,368
Let us eat.
633
00:50:40,954 --> 00:50:42,329
Thanks for the food.
634
00:51:43,517 --> 00:51:44,767
Stay in bed.
635
00:51:44,935 --> 00:51:46,018
No...
636
00:51:54,903 --> 00:51:57,071
When l graduated artillery school,
637
00:51:57,405 --> 00:51:59,698
the Meiji Emperor gave this to me.
638
00:52:39,489 --> 00:52:42,783
The coded telegram fixing
the date of this strategy is,
639
00:52:42,951 --> 00:52:44,243
"Nii Takayama Nobore."
640
00:52:44,369 --> 00:52:48,831
However, if the on-going negotiations
in Washington reach agreement,
641
00:52:48,957 --> 00:52:54,837
even after the planes have taken off
from their carrier, they must turn back.
642
00:52:54,963 --> 00:52:58,507
That's impossible. They can't turn
back with the enemy in their sights.
643
00:52:58,675 --> 00:53:01,093
The men won't stand for it.
644
00:53:06,308 --> 00:53:09,685
What do you think is the reason
we foster and train our soldiers?
645
00:53:09,853 --> 00:53:12,438
lt is solely to defend our nation's peace!
646
00:53:16,985 --> 00:53:21,572
lf an officer believes he cannot
turn back after receiving this order,
647
00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:25,576
l forbid your deployment.
Submit your resignation, now!
648
00:53:36,379 --> 00:53:41,675
Also, in the unlikely event that
we must go to war,
649
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:46,222
you shall not bomb civilian residential areas.
650
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,603
Drill that into your guts.
651
00:53:56,066 --> 00:54:01,195
Commander, about the plan to storm
the bay with miniature submarines?
652
00:54:01,863 --> 00:54:04,114
Can they safely accommodate the crews?
653
00:54:04,282 --> 00:54:06,408
No, not yet...
654
00:54:07,744 --> 00:54:10,996
ln that case, l can't approve that plan.
655
00:54:11,873 --> 00:54:17,044
l can tolerate desperate plans but
not one with no chance of survival.
656
00:54:18,046 --> 00:54:19,213
l understand.
657
00:54:20,757 --> 00:54:25,094
Please confirm with Military Command.
658
00:54:26,096 --> 00:54:30,641
ln the event we go to war, make sure
to send a final warning to America.
659
00:54:30,976 --> 00:54:34,144
They must swear to send this.
660
00:54:34,271 --> 00:54:35,396
Yes.
661
00:54:37,482 --> 00:54:42,236
When Japanese samurai
strike an enemy at night,
662
00:54:42,362 --> 00:54:44,655
at least they kick his pillow
663
00:54:45,865 --> 00:54:48,158
to awaken him first.
664
00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:54,415
lf we attack before a final warning
is delivered,
665
00:54:56,710 --> 00:54:59,253
the Japanese Navy's name will be ruined.
666
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,227
December 8th, 1941 .
667
00:55:15,353 --> 00:55:20,232
The giant attack force of 350 planes
taking off from six aircraft carriers
668
00:55:20,442 --> 00:55:25,279
attacked the American Pacific fleet
anchored at Pearl Harbor.
669
00:55:26,031 --> 00:55:29,783
This raised the curtain on the Pacific War.
670
00:55:43,882 --> 00:55:45,424
l can see the fleet.
671
00:55:45,967 --> 00:55:47,426
All planes attack!
672
00:56:35,558 --> 00:56:37,393
Enemy planes, Sir!
673
00:56:37,894 --> 00:56:39,019
Ready.
674
00:56:55,537 --> 00:57:30,404
Ready!
675
00:57:55,221 --> 00:57:57,723
Sir, there are no carriers!
676
00:57:58,141 --> 00:58:00,142
No. There aren't.
677
00:58:07,775 --> 00:58:09,109
Telegram from Hawaii.
678
00:58:09,277 --> 00:58:12,779
"Tora Tora Tora! Surprise attack succeeds!"
679
00:58:19,704 --> 00:58:20,787
Officer Fujii.
680
00:58:22,373 --> 00:58:26,877
l know l repeat myself, but make
sure to confirm they delivered
681
00:58:27,045 --> 00:58:28,879
the declaration of war.
682
00:58:29,214 --> 00:58:30,297
Yes, Sir.
683
00:58:52,737 --> 00:58:53,862
Squadron leader!
684
00:58:54,030 --> 00:58:55,280
Oh, you're well.
685
00:58:55,448 --> 00:58:56,532
Yes!
686
00:58:57,283 --> 00:58:58,325
Where's Saeki?
687
00:58:58,451 --> 00:59:00,744
He's not back yet.
688
00:59:06,668 --> 00:59:08,335
He should be soon...
689
00:59:13,633 --> 00:59:16,009
We sighted no carriers in the bay.
690
00:59:16,302 --> 00:59:21,181
We couldn't attack their fuel tanks.
Please let us make a second attack.
691
00:59:26,521 --> 00:59:27,771
l report!
692
00:59:28,940 --> 00:59:32,109
From Commander Yamaguchi
of the No. 2 Carrier Fleet.
693
00:59:33,027 --> 00:59:37,406
"l confirm the need for a second attack!"
That's all.
694
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:39,908
Commander.
695
00:59:45,498 --> 00:59:50,419
No answer from the Akagi.
Shall we try again?
696
00:59:52,255 --> 00:59:53,714
No...
697
00:59:55,133 --> 00:59:59,261
Nagumo probably won't.
698
01:00:01,180 --> 01:00:04,474
The Arizona is badly damaged,
the Pennsylvania has minor damage,
699
01:00:04,851 --> 01:00:09,688
the Nevada nearly sunk, the California sunk
700
01:00:10,481 --> 01:00:13,734
four battleships sunk,
four battleships destroyed.
701
01:00:13,943 --> 01:00:17,362
America's Pacific fleet is demolished.
702
01:00:17,614 --> 01:00:20,490
No... They are unhurt.
703
01:00:25,538 --> 01:00:29,416
Their carriers are all unhurt.
704
01:00:33,963 --> 01:00:37,257
Commander, we need to deliver
the finishing blow.
705
01:00:39,594 --> 01:00:44,014
Returning all our ships unhurt
is part of our duty.
706
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:45,766
But...
707
01:00:55,318 --> 01:01:00,614
We exit strategic waters now.
All ships turn around and return to port.
708
01:01:10,792 --> 01:01:14,961
They turned around?
What are the mobile units doing?
709
01:01:15,505 --> 01:01:17,089
Commander, let's attack them again.
710
01:01:17,256 --> 01:01:20,217
- That would be an ill-advised attack.
- All attacks are ill-advised!
711
01:01:21,260 --> 01:01:26,223
The goal of this plan is to destroy the
enemy fleet, even risking our safety.
712
01:01:26,349 --> 01:01:27,641
However...
713
01:01:31,270 --> 01:01:35,399
Let us abide by Nagumo's judgement.
714
01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:37,234
Commander!
715
01:01:38,611 --> 01:01:43,990
There must be something we can't see
from here in Japanese waters.
716
01:01:53,334 --> 01:01:54,501
Listen...
717
01:01:57,422 --> 01:02:01,049
Even robbers are scared to walk home.
718
01:02:14,856 --> 01:02:16,773
He never made it back.
719
01:02:29,412 --> 01:02:32,873
l see! Every ship in the mobile unit
fleet was unhurt.
720
01:02:33,082 --> 01:02:36,042
Yes, there was no damage to any ship.
721
01:02:37,879 --> 01:02:42,174
A battle must be fought to know its outcome.
722
01:02:42,967 --> 01:02:45,218
Cheers!
723
01:02:52,226 --> 01:02:57,647
Fleet Commander Yamamoto, Banzai!
724
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:10,577
Roosevelt's speech is on.
725
01:03:58,501 --> 01:04:00,293
The Foreign Ministry
726
01:04:01,003 --> 01:04:04,840
definitely instructed the Japanese
ambassador in Washington
727
01:04:05,299 --> 01:04:08,301
to deliver the declaration 30 minutes
before the Pearl Harbor attack.
728
01:04:09,512 --> 01:04:14,266
The Embassy staff must have
mismanaged...
729
01:04:14,475 --> 01:04:15,934
Mismanaged!
730
01:04:17,645 --> 01:04:18,687
Mismanaged what?
731
01:04:18,813 --> 01:04:22,732
l don't know the details,
but ultimately the declaration
732
01:04:22,859 --> 01:04:26,194
wasn't delivered until
one hour after our attack.
733
01:04:26,821 --> 01:04:32,492
Perhaps the Embassy took more time
to translate the Ministry's cable...
734
01:04:33,327 --> 01:04:34,536
Took more time!
735
01:04:35,329 --> 01:04:36,538
Do you mock me?
736
01:04:37,331 --> 01:04:41,751
Does anyone in the Ministry or Military
Command understand what this means?
737
01:04:45,464 --> 01:04:47,841
Why did Commander Yamamoto stress...
738
01:04:48,801 --> 01:04:50,010
Officer Miyake.
739
01:04:50,469 --> 01:04:51,511
Sir.
740
01:04:54,807 --> 01:04:56,141
Let's start.
741
01:04:57,184 --> 01:04:58,268
What?
742
01:05:18,164 --> 01:05:20,874
This will be a tough fight.
743
01:05:28,049 --> 01:05:29,341
There.
744
01:05:37,683 --> 01:05:41,561
Commander Yamamoto,
we wish you a happy New Year!
745
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:46,900
Please make another lightning charge
this year.
746
01:05:48,194 --> 01:05:52,364
Wonderful, the economy will finally improve.
747
01:05:52,490 --> 01:05:55,825
l can't remember such
a refreshing New Year's!
748
01:05:55,952 --> 01:05:58,244
lmperial fleet, Banzai!
749
01:05:58,871 --> 01:06:01,081
Banzai!
750
01:06:03,084 --> 01:06:05,669
Happy New Year.
751
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,635
lncredible. He used to badmouth
the Navy so much.
752
01:06:13,761 --> 01:06:15,470
That ended with last year.
753
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,222
Oh, happy New Year!
754
01:06:25,398 --> 01:06:28,942
Dear lso, happy New Year
755
01:06:29,944 --> 01:06:34,280
l know you must be working so very hard.
756
01:06:35,408 --> 01:06:38,118
Nagaoka is all wrapped up
757
01:06:38,244 --> 01:06:41,454
in a white blanket of snow.
758
01:06:42,248 --> 01:06:45,000
These days, my neighbours
759
01:06:45,126 --> 01:06:48,253
stop by nearly every day
760
01:06:48,713 --> 01:06:51,798
to talk about you.
761
01:06:55,428 --> 01:06:58,471
They say you're a hero
who saved our nation,
762
01:06:58,806 --> 01:07:03,852
and they pray every time they
hear your name on the radio.
763
01:07:04,145 --> 01:07:09,983
l know you hate that sort
of thing more than anyone,
764
01:07:10,151 --> 01:07:15,864
but everyone is just
so very proud of you that,
765
01:07:16,365 --> 01:07:19,492
as your sister,
766
01:07:19,618 --> 01:07:22,829
l just listen to them gratefully.
767
01:07:24,206 --> 01:07:26,958
When springtime comes,
768
01:07:27,084 --> 01:07:31,004
l'll send you more sweets.
769
01:07:31,380 --> 01:07:34,966
Please look forward to them.
770
01:07:40,139 --> 01:07:44,017
lmperial Military Command
announces that on February 1 5th,
771
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,063
the British military surrenders
on the island of Singapore...
772
01:07:50,024 --> 01:07:52,525
We smashed their Oriental fleet
and now Singapore has fallen.
773
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:55,904
Two months into this war, we are invincible.
774
01:07:56,530 --> 01:07:58,656
The oil in Borneo is ours!
775
01:07:58,866 --> 01:07:59,991
Editor!
776
01:08:00,826 --> 01:08:01,868
Another run of the special edition!
777
01:08:02,036 --> 01:08:05,747
Not since we went to war with China!
778
01:08:05,873 --> 01:08:08,166
Our circulation will increase, too!
779
01:08:09,877 --> 01:08:12,128
Where was that...
780
01:08:12,588 --> 01:08:15,381
You ate 50 tangerines...
781
01:08:16,050 --> 01:08:19,928
Not that many, only 47.
That was in Yugawara.
782
01:08:23,057 --> 01:08:26,851
Pearl Harbor was a failure.
783
01:08:27,436 --> 01:08:30,063
Yeah, a huge failure.
784
01:08:30,856 --> 01:08:32,440
Not a single carrier in sight...
785
01:08:32,650 --> 01:08:36,611
The Yankee spirit is in flames
at the sneak attack.
786
01:08:37,321 --> 01:08:42,158
Now they've got a righteous
cause against Japan.
787
01:08:43,953 --> 01:08:47,413
But our people are in seventh heaven.
788
01:08:48,332 --> 01:08:52,919
You tried to evade war for them,
789
01:08:53,212 --> 01:08:56,256
but they want to go to war.
790
01:08:57,967 --> 01:09:03,012
No doubt they think that wars
happen far across the sea.
791
01:09:04,223 --> 01:09:08,977
lf the day comes when bombs
rain down from the sky,
792
01:09:09,854 --> 01:09:12,230
this country will suffer.
793
01:09:15,943 --> 01:09:19,112
You're going after them, one more time?
794
01:09:22,950 --> 01:09:26,953
Yeah, we'll go after Hawaii again.
795
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:32,125
lt won't take America six months
to get back on its feet.
796
01:09:33,043 --> 01:09:38,423
Before then, l'll smash their
carriers and capture Hawaii.
797
01:09:41,635 --> 01:09:44,470
That's the only way to sue for peace.
798
01:09:47,433 --> 01:09:52,020
But if you bring up suing for
peace in these invincible times,
799
01:09:52,980 --> 01:09:55,315
the people will faint from shock.
800
01:09:56,150 --> 01:10:02,488
To this country, you're as almighty as God.
801
01:10:06,327 --> 01:10:11,497
lf l were God, l wouldn't start
a war in the first place.
802
01:10:26,764 --> 01:10:31,559
Admiral Yamamoto, l thank you
on behalf of the Japanese people!
803
01:10:31,727 --> 01:10:33,269
Have a seat.
804
01:10:33,395 --> 01:10:35,897
Your victory instantly
805
01:10:36,023 --> 01:10:40,193
swept aside the dark clouds
oppressing this nation.
806
01:10:40,569 --> 01:10:44,072
You have managed to take revenge for
807
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:48,743
the hardships and humiliations
we've tasted since the Black Ships.
808
01:10:49,203 --> 01:10:53,790
America will withdraw from China
and Asia will fall into our hands.
809
01:10:54,375 --> 01:10:59,879
Please tell us today about your
vision towards final victory.
810
01:11:04,551 --> 01:11:05,885
Sue for peace.
811
01:11:09,390 --> 01:11:10,431
Sue for peace?
812
01:11:11,183 --> 01:11:16,813
The soldier's most important duty
is to finish the war he starts.
813
01:11:17,189 --> 01:11:19,148
l'm truly shocked.
814
01:11:20,150 --> 01:11:24,988
You have no idea
what the people want now.
815
01:11:25,114 --> 01:11:26,906
What public opinion expects now!
816
01:11:29,034 --> 01:11:30,910
Regardless of public opinion,
817
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,748
this country must not be destroyed.
818
01:11:43,590 --> 01:11:45,800
l've wasted my time.
819
01:11:46,218 --> 01:11:49,429
l can't print this as an article.
820
01:11:49,638 --> 01:11:51,431
Excuse me.
821
01:11:56,145 --> 01:11:57,228
You see...
822
01:11:57,938 --> 01:11:59,105
Yes?
823
01:11:59,773 --> 01:12:03,818
No, thank you for your earlier hospitality.
824
01:12:08,115 --> 01:12:12,160
Take a good look at the world around you.
825
01:12:18,625 --> 01:12:20,710
Got that, Shindo?
826
01:12:23,380 --> 01:12:24,547
Yes.
827
01:12:35,976 --> 01:12:39,145
The Yamato is big.
828
01:12:39,355 --> 01:12:44,150
l can't seem to settle down.
Makes me want to hit the town.
829
01:12:48,822 --> 01:12:51,157
Thank you!
830
01:13:01,085 --> 01:13:04,379
SWEETS
831
01:13:11,345 --> 01:13:13,721
That's all you're eating?
832
01:13:18,185 --> 01:13:20,770
Better say what's on your mind.
833
01:13:22,564 --> 01:13:26,234
The Military Command plans
to expand the war.
834
01:13:27,236 --> 01:13:30,113
They seem drunk on the initial victories.
835
01:13:31,532 --> 01:13:33,032
Go ahead, eat.
836
01:13:34,785 --> 01:13:36,119
Little girl.
837
01:13:37,079 --> 01:13:38,162
Yes.
838
01:13:38,288 --> 01:13:40,164
Can l have another bowl of sweet soup?
839
01:13:40,290 --> 01:13:41,374
Yes.
840
01:13:46,588 --> 01:13:48,756
l'm so sorry.
841
01:13:49,383 --> 01:13:52,301
l'm so sorry. She's just...
842
01:13:53,011 --> 01:13:55,221
No, no, the fault is mine.
843
01:13:56,223 --> 01:13:57,890
l surprised you.
844
01:13:58,183 --> 01:14:03,146
l was reckless when l was young
and got hurt.
845
01:14:05,274 --> 01:14:07,400
Now, more sweet soup, please.
846
01:14:07,526 --> 01:14:08,526
Yes.
847
01:14:08,652 --> 01:14:10,820
Thank you so much.
848
01:14:20,664 --> 01:14:23,040
The plan is prepared.
849
01:14:25,586 --> 01:14:28,379
MlDWAY STRATEGY PLAN
850
01:14:31,049 --> 01:14:33,634
This will definitely draw out the carriers.
851
01:14:33,927 --> 01:14:37,638
We'll smash them and capture Hawaii.
852
01:14:46,899 --> 01:14:51,444
Military Command thinks Americans will
be based in Australia and come north
853
01:14:51,612 --> 01:14:53,613
over the islands to invade Japan.
854
01:14:53,780 --> 01:14:59,076
So they plan to capture Fiji and Samoa
to stop their northern advances.
855
01:14:59,328 --> 01:15:00,912
Can our fleet deploy so far?
856
01:15:01,121 --> 01:15:04,832
Apparently the Fleet Commander
is still targeting Hawaii.
857
01:15:05,250 --> 01:15:08,836
l see, so the Navy has more than one mind.
858
01:15:09,129 --> 01:15:11,672
Hayakawa, you stay on the Navy Ministry.
859
01:15:11,882 --> 01:15:16,427
The rest of you keep your ears peeled
for information from all sources.
860
01:15:17,387 --> 01:15:19,764
This is totally different from Pearl Harbor.
861
01:15:20,140 --> 01:15:21,224
What?
862
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,685
Before that attack,
no one leaked any information.
863
01:15:29,691 --> 01:15:32,860
Did we have an air raid drill
scheduled today?
864
01:15:52,214 --> 01:15:53,881
Tokyo bombed?
865
01:15:54,007 --> 01:15:57,218
They flew mid-sized bombers
from their carriers.
866
01:15:58,345 --> 01:16:01,347
They've staged an airbase near Tokyo...
867
01:16:06,186 --> 01:16:10,731
Fly the No. 1 Carrier Fleet combat
squadron to Atsugi to defend Tokyo!
868
01:16:10,899 --> 01:16:11,983
Yes, Sir!
869
01:16:21,243 --> 01:16:23,202
lt was a pitiful sight.
870
01:16:32,796 --> 01:16:34,714
So, this is an air raid.
871
01:16:38,093 --> 01:16:43,514
ln order to prevent future air raids, the
Army, responsible for homeland defence,
872
01:16:43,807 --> 01:16:47,768
is demanding that we push the Pacific
frontline farther east.
873
01:16:47,936 --> 01:16:52,773
Therefore, l have approved the Midway Plan.
874
01:16:53,150 --> 01:16:54,191
Yes, Sir.
875
01:16:54,318 --> 01:16:59,572
l hear Yamamoto is saying the goal is
to lure their aircraft carriers,
876
01:16:59,740 --> 01:17:04,410
but the real goal is to capture
the Midway lslands.
877
01:17:06,830 --> 01:17:10,666
The priority is to capture it
to create a frontline base.
878
01:17:12,169 --> 01:17:14,420
Got that, Nagumo?
879
01:17:16,131 --> 01:17:17,214
Yes, Sir.
880
01:17:19,051 --> 01:17:23,012
We'll destroy the enemy's airbase
and land assault troops.
881
01:17:23,305 --> 01:17:25,097
After, we quickly occupy the island.
882
01:17:25,265 --> 01:17:30,019
At the same time, our carriers will
standby between Hawaii and Midway.
883
01:17:30,687 --> 01:17:33,939
We'll wait for the enemy aircraft
carriers that will surely be lured,
884
01:17:34,566 --> 01:17:37,735
and use all our strength to annihilate them.
885
01:17:40,781 --> 01:17:46,035
According to Military Command,
capturing the island is their priority.
886
01:17:46,328 --> 01:17:50,539
No, capturing Midway and
luring their aircraft carriers
887
01:17:50,666 --> 01:17:52,166
are both goals.
888
01:17:52,542 --> 01:17:57,213
The enemy carriers were hard hit
in the battle at Coral Sea, two weeks ago.
889
01:17:57,381 --> 01:17:59,465
They won't take the bait.
890
01:18:00,342 --> 01:18:04,553
Even if they do, they're nothing to fear.
891
01:18:09,935 --> 01:18:11,686
What's your evidence?
892
01:18:11,812 --> 01:18:12,895
What?
893
01:18:13,063 --> 01:18:16,565
What evidence do you have that
they're nothing to fear?
894
01:18:17,275 --> 01:18:19,610
Well, that's...
895
01:18:21,822 --> 01:18:25,700
Even in Hawaii, which Military Command
considers a resounding victory,
896
01:18:26,576 --> 01:18:30,579
we lost 55 of our best trained flight crew.
897
01:18:32,916 --> 01:18:37,461
From now on, America won't let us
surprise them with any more attacks.
898
01:18:38,922 --> 01:18:43,759
For an officer to assert that the enemy
is nothing to fear,
899
01:18:44,678 --> 01:18:46,512
is the height of insecurity.
900
01:18:48,432 --> 01:18:51,183
Sir, l apologise.
901
01:18:53,812 --> 01:18:57,690
For the Pacific fleet in Hawaii,
Midway is a treasured
902
01:18:57,858 --> 01:18:59,942
forward airbase.
903
01:19:00,944 --> 01:19:02,653
lf we hammer it,
904
01:19:04,072 --> 01:19:06,782
their carriers have to come.
905
01:19:10,078 --> 01:19:11,287
Nagumo.
906
01:19:12,956 --> 01:19:14,039
Yes.
907
01:19:14,207 --> 01:19:18,586
To prepare for their aircraft carriers,
load half of the Akagi's fighters
908
01:19:18,879 --> 01:19:22,798
with torpedoes and have them standing by.
909
01:19:22,966 --> 01:19:24,550
Understood.
910
01:19:31,057 --> 01:19:33,058
The goal of this plan
911
01:19:33,727 --> 01:19:37,271
is to lure the enemy carriers
and annihilate them.
912
01:19:39,608 --> 01:19:43,527
No matter what the cost, we cannot ever let
913
01:19:45,071 --> 01:19:48,073
enemy planes fly in Japanese skies.
914
01:19:55,123 --> 01:19:57,833
May 27th, 1942.
915
01:19:58,084 --> 01:20:03,422
The battleship Yamato, helmed by
Yamamoto, followed Nagumo's Akagi
916
01:20:03,757 --> 01:20:08,511
to Midway, joining a giant attack
fleet of over 200 ships.
917
01:20:13,642 --> 01:20:17,770
You haven't gotten a raise in pay
this past year, have you, Miyake?
918
01:20:18,146 --> 01:20:19,271
Sir...
919
01:20:19,773 --> 01:20:24,568
You went on the attack.
You'll get a bonus next month.
920
01:20:25,862 --> 01:20:26,946
Sir...
921
01:20:27,781 --> 01:20:30,074
lf we had stayed in the lnland Sea,
922
01:20:30,659 --> 01:20:33,828
l couldn't give you bonuses or medals.
923
01:20:36,289 --> 01:20:40,084
The military is a complicated business...
924
01:20:51,054 --> 01:20:55,057
Don't you need to load torpedoes
onto half of our fighters?
925
01:20:55,308 --> 01:20:59,812
The enemy carriers will never come.
So we don't need to arm torpedoes.
926
01:21:00,647 --> 01:21:05,067
Bombs for capturing Midway
are all we need.
927
01:21:08,488 --> 01:21:14,243
Forward at half speed.
928
01:21:17,372 --> 01:21:18,831
l can smell 'em.
929
01:21:21,710 --> 01:21:23,752
There are carriers.
930
01:21:26,673 --> 01:21:27,756
l report.
931
01:21:27,883 --> 01:21:32,219
Our submarines off of Kwajalein Atoll
report intercepting enemy carrier signals.
932
01:21:32,429 --> 01:21:33,512
Read it!
933
01:21:33,930 --> 01:21:37,808
The enemy carrier position is
1 70 sea miles north-north-west of Midway.
934
01:21:37,976 --> 01:21:40,686
l knew they'd come.
935
01:21:40,937 --> 01:21:44,857
Officer, don't you need to let
the Akagi know, too?
936
01:21:45,191 --> 01:21:47,943
No, the Akagi should have also received it.
937
01:21:48,737 --> 01:21:51,196
And we're in radio silence.
938
01:21:51,531 --> 01:21:56,118
lf we send a cable, the enemy may
be able to identify our position.
939
01:21:58,872 --> 01:21:59,997
Right...
940
01:22:07,130 --> 01:22:09,423
Midway lslands, 30 degrees to right.
941
01:22:09,633 --> 01:22:12,134
All planes attack!
942
01:22:13,219 --> 01:22:16,388
Sir, there are no planes on their runway!
943
01:22:17,140 --> 01:22:18,557
They were ready...
944
01:22:29,778 --> 01:22:34,949
Officer, are you sure there
are no enemy carriers?
945
01:22:35,283 --> 01:22:40,496
Yes, our six reconnaissance planes
have found nothing
946
01:22:41,706 --> 01:22:46,585
and the carriers won't come here.
You don't need to worry.
947
01:22:55,887 --> 01:23:00,599
According to reports, the weather near
Midway will dramatically improve.
948
01:23:02,602 --> 01:23:04,395
When the clouds clear,
949
01:23:06,648 --> 01:23:09,108
Nagumo will be totally exposed.
950
01:23:13,446 --> 01:23:14,863
Officer Miyake.
951
01:23:16,866 --> 01:23:18,450
Time for a game.
952
01:23:27,293 --> 01:23:31,296
l report! The first attack squad
953
01:23:31,965 --> 01:23:36,260
reports "Bombing results inadequate.
Second attack on Midway required."
954
01:23:37,012 --> 01:23:38,095
That's all.
955
01:23:40,807 --> 01:23:43,642
An Army detachment of 2,000 men
are approaching the island.
956
01:23:43,810 --> 01:23:47,896
lf they don't all land safely,
the Navy's reputation is at stake.
957
01:23:48,273 --> 01:23:51,191
We must launch a second attack
immediately.
958
01:23:57,907 --> 01:24:00,576
Emergency report from plane four!
Discovered enemy carrier!
959
01:24:00,702 --> 01:24:01,827
What?
960
01:24:01,995 --> 01:24:07,416
Bearing 10 degrees from Midway, 240 sea
miles, 150 degrees course, 20 knots!
961
01:24:07,751 --> 01:24:08,834
That's all.
962
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:10,836
Distance from mother ship?
963
01:24:11,004 --> 01:24:12,129
Roger.
964
01:24:13,006 --> 01:24:14,840
Let's send the second attack
against the enemy carrier.
965
01:24:15,008 --> 01:24:18,343
No, they're only carrying bombs for Midway.
966
01:24:18,511 --> 01:24:19,928
We can blast open their decks.
967
01:24:20,096 --> 01:24:25,017
Why are our fighter planes in the air?
They have to land on our deck to refuel.
968
01:24:25,185 --> 01:24:26,685
We can't afford to.
969
01:24:26,853 --> 01:24:28,854
They can't attack without support!
970
01:24:38,198 --> 01:24:39,531
They're late.
971
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:41,283
Communications.
972
01:24:43,369 --> 01:24:47,539
Signal the Akagi!
"Approve immediate second attack."
973
01:24:47,707 --> 01:24:48,791
Yes.
974
01:24:50,376 --> 01:24:54,296
Enemy planes estimated arrival,
05:15, in 30 minutes.
975
01:24:55,632 --> 01:25:00,469
Don't panic.
We can deploy all planes in 15 minutes.
976
01:25:03,056 --> 01:25:04,431
Commander...
977
01:25:07,769 --> 01:25:09,728
Bring in the escort planes.
978
01:25:10,772 --> 01:25:15,234
Refit the second attack squadron
with torpedoes.
979
01:25:16,319 --> 01:25:17,444
Hurry!
980
01:25:17,570 --> 01:25:18,654
Sir!
981
01:25:19,072 --> 01:25:20,948
Okay, this way!
982
01:25:38,049 --> 01:25:39,424
l'm going down first.
983
01:25:40,844 --> 01:25:42,010
Roger!
984
01:26:02,323 --> 01:26:04,283
Any response from the Akagi?
985
01:26:05,535 --> 01:26:06,618
Nothing.
986
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,081
Less than 20 minutes to enemy planes.
987
01:26:20,675 --> 01:26:23,302
Second attack squadron ready for take-off.
988
01:26:25,555 --> 01:26:33,604
All planes take off!
989
01:26:35,190 --> 01:26:38,108
Enemy planes in five minutes!
990
01:27:10,934 --> 01:27:13,143
Enemy planes! Overhead! Dive-bombing!
991
01:27:17,899 --> 01:27:20,234
Full starboard!
992
01:29:02,337 --> 01:29:06,882
This carrier will attack their carriers.
993
01:29:09,302 --> 01:29:11,345
Signal battle command.
994
01:29:13,264 --> 01:29:17,976
l hereby take over command of the air battle.
995
01:29:19,354 --> 01:29:20,437
Sir.
996
01:29:25,318 --> 01:29:31,198
Listen well. We will sink one
enemy carrier if it costs our lives.
997
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:39,456
At this rate, the lmperial Navy
will be an eternal laughing stock.
998
01:29:40,666 --> 01:29:41,792
Yes, Sir!
999
01:29:42,877 --> 01:29:48,382
4.2 east-south-east... l will confirm.
1000
01:29:52,345 --> 01:29:53,887
Excuse me!
1001
01:29:58,476 --> 01:30:00,060
Cable from the Hiryu!
1002
01:30:00,353 --> 01:30:03,522
Akagi, Kaga and Soryu,
bombed and on fire.
1003
01:30:03,981 --> 01:30:07,317
Hiryu is attacking the carriers alone.
1004
01:30:12,365 --> 01:30:14,491
They got three of our ships.
1005
01:30:22,875 --> 01:30:24,960
Where are the escort squadrons?
1006
01:31:17,722 --> 01:31:19,097
Arima!
1007
01:31:55,885 --> 01:31:58,011
Enemy planes! Overhead! Dive-bombing!
1008
01:32:06,270 --> 01:32:07,562
Full starboard!
1009
01:32:48,646 --> 01:32:50,021
You all
1010
01:32:51,816 --> 01:32:54,317
fought hard to the end!
1011
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:58,029
l'm grateful to you!
1012
01:33:01,409 --> 01:33:06,454
There's a long war still ahead.
1013
01:33:08,666 --> 01:33:10,333
Survive...
1014
01:33:12,044 --> 01:33:13,336
Survive!
1015
01:33:14,922 --> 01:33:17,382
And put this experience to work,
1016
01:33:19,677 --> 01:33:22,137
to create a strong Navy!
1017
01:33:27,018 --> 01:33:28,184
Go!
1018
01:33:28,561 --> 01:33:30,353
Commander!
1019
01:33:33,566 --> 01:33:35,025
Get off now!
1020
01:33:48,956 --> 01:33:49,998
Commander!
1021
01:33:50,124 --> 01:33:52,876
Commander! Please abandon ship!
1022
01:33:55,379 --> 01:33:56,713
Just go now.
1023
01:33:57,715 --> 01:34:02,469
They sank four of our carriers.
Someone has to stay behind.
1024
01:34:02,595 --> 01:34:03,970
l will stay, too!
1025
01:34:04,138 --> 01:34:05,221
l will, too!
1026
01:34:09,518 --> 01:34:11,519
l'm plenty.
1027
01:34:14,440 --> 01:34:15,482
Hurry, go!
1028
01:34:15,608 --> 01:34:16,900
Commander!
1029
01:34:18,069 --> 01:34:20,570
A keepsake.
1030
01:34:36,253 --> 01:34:37,587
Enough...
1031
01:34:39,674 --> 01:34:40,840
Go.
1032
01:35:21,424 --> 01:35:22,632
Excuse me.
1033
01:35:27,555 --> 01:35:29,222
l report.
1034
01:35:29,974 --> 01:35:33,893
After sinking the carrier Yorktown,
the Hiryu was set ablaze
1035
01:35:34,311 --> 01:35:35,979
and sank.
1036
01:35:39,066 --> 01:35:40,150
So that's it.
1037
01:35:42,653 --> 01:35:45,071
They got the Hiryu.
1038
01:35:45,781 --> 01:35:51,161
Also, Commander Yamaguchi
went down with the ship.
1039
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,474
lt's over now...
1040
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:28,448
Let's attack them at night!
1041
01:36:29,492 --> 01:36:31,409
We'll never catch up.
1042
01:36:31,744 --> 01:36:34,996
And at first light, we'll become a target
1043
01:36:35,623 --> 01:36:37,957
subjecting the flagship
to the enemy's bombs!
1044
01:36:38,125 --> 01:36:39,918
l know that, Sir!
1045
01:36:41,712 --> 01:36:45,006
This is the second time, following Hawaii.
1046
01:36:46,717 --> 01:36:50,970
We can't limp back to port like this.
1047
01:36:52,932 --> 01:36:57,352
We can't take the commander
back to Japan
1048
01:36:58,187 --> 01:37:02,857
under these pathetic conditions!
1049
01:37:16,455 --> 01:37:17,747
Kuroshima...
1050
01:37:18,666 --> 01:37:19,749
Sir!
1051
01:37:20,751 --> 01:37:22,085
Enough.
1052
01:37:27,383 --> 01:37:31,678
Let's go home to Japan.
1053
01:38:03,043 --> 01:38:04,502
Excuse me!
1054
01:38:11,218 --> 01:38:14,804
Commander Nagumo is aboard.
1055
01:38:15,890 --> 01:38:17,015
Right.
1056
01:38:20,269 --> 01:38:21,477
Miyake.
1057
01:38:22,605 --> 01:38:23,646
Sir.
1058
01:38:25,816 --> 01:38:27,984
Don't blame Nagumo.
1059
01:38:50,841 --> 01:38:52,675
l apologise
1060
01:38:55,179 --> 01:38:57,180
for this outcome.
1061
01:38:59,934 --> 01:39:03,061
Eat your rice soup while it's hot.
1062
01:40:13,090 --> 01:40:16,134
"American carriers sunk!"
1063
01:40:16,301 --> 01:40:18,261
"120 planes attack!"
1064
01:40:18,429 --> 01:40:20,763
The lmperial Navy does it again!
1065
01:40:20,931 --> 01:40:23,266
Why aren't there any pictures?
1066
01:40:23,434 --> 01:40:27,395
There were huge pictures
when Singapore fell.
1067
01:40:29,273 --> 01:40:30,356
Yeah.
1068
01:40:30,482 --> 01:40:34,318
All sinking enemy ships look the same.
1069
01:40:34,486 --> 01:40:35,737
Really?
1070
01:40:35,904 --> 01:40:38,781
"Our fleet losses were minor."
1071
01:40:39,575 --> 01:40:43,745
But a single ship carries
hundreds of sailors.
1072
01:40:44,204 --> 01:40:46,289
They went down with the ship.
1073
01:40:47,458 --> 01:40:50,752
That's just how warfare is...
1074
01:41:16,445 --> 01:41:17,487
Good evening.
1075
01:41:21,658 --> 01:41:24,160
You were closed today.
1076
01:41:24,495 --> 01:41:27,371
You're the man...
1077
01:41:28,540 --> 01:41:31,250
l'm so sorry.
1078
01:41:31,502 --> 01:41:36,464
Without sugar or beans since the rations,
we had to close...
1079
01:41:38,926 --> 01:41:40,510
l see...
1080
01:41:42,387 --> 01:41:44,180
l'll come back again.
1081
01:41:48,685 --> 01:41:51,687
Oh, right.
1082
01:41:57,528 --> 01:42:00,404
l'm sorry for scaring you the other day.
1083
01:42:03,951 --> 01:42:05,284
My apologies.
1084
01:42:08,705 --> 01:42:10,373
lt will suit you.
1085
01:42:49,746 --> 01:42:54,417
ln the waters off Guadalcanal of
the Solomon lslands, our lmperial Navy,
1086
01:42:54,585 --> 01:42:58,379
launched a huge attack,
sinking two enemy aircraft carriers...
1087
01:42:58,505 --> 01:43:01,716
Despite its great victory at Midway,
1088
01:43:01,842 --> 01:43:05,428
the lmperial Navy abandoned
its plans to capture Hawaii.
1089
01:43:05,596 --> 01:43:09,182
lnstead, according to their original plans,
1090
01:43:09,349 --> 01:43:10,850
built an airbase on Guadalcanal,
1091
01:43:10,976 --> 01:43:13,769
to destroy the invading Americans,
heading north,
1092
01:43:13,896 --> 01:43:16,522
on their way to fortify Australia.
1093
01:43:16,732 --> 01:43:19,609
Many Army officers were deployed.
1094
01:43:20,944 --> 01:43:23,779
The lmperial Fleet's Command
1095
01:43:23,947 --> 01:43:26,782
and the flagship Yamato headed south
1096
01:43:27,201 --> 01:43:30,912
anchoring near Truk lsland on the equator.
1097
01:43:38,045 --> 01:43:40,963
There's oil on Borneo,
1098
01:43:42,633 --> 01:43:47,094
but with our tankers getting sunk like this...
1099
01:43:48,222 --> 01:43:52,600
No doubt things on Guadalcanal
are nightmarish.
1100
01:43:53,644 --> 01:43:57,104
They were occupied three months ago.
1101
01:43:57,606 --> 01:44:01,817
Never expected the Americans
would counterattack so quickly...
1102
01:44:02,194 --> 01:44:05,696
Yamamoto saw it coming.
1103
01:44:06,198 --> 01:44:11,535
lt was the military bureaucrats
in command who have no idea...
1104
01:44:11,787 --> 01:44:17,333
They always reason so as to match
their foregone conclusions.
1105
01:44:18,585 --> 01:44:21,504
They don't have a shred of evidence.
1106
01:44:21,713 --> 01:44:24,465
l'm sure Yamamoto has it rough out there.
1107
01:44:25,968 --> 01:44:27,134
lt should have been Singapore.
1108
01:44:29,304 --> 01:44:32,265
We missed our chance to sue for peace.
1109
01:44:32,557 --> 01:44:35,643
We may have been mistaken...
1110
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:37,853
But still,
1111
01:44:38,855 --> 01:44:41,649
Yamamoto hasn't given up.
1112
01:44:42,901 --> 01:44:48,364
No matter what, l'm sure he's
trying to somehow sue for peace...
1113
01:44:49,783 --> 01:44:51,033
You're right.
1114
01:44:52,828 --> 01:44:57,373
Yamamoto never gives up...
1115
01:45:10,887 --> 01:45:15,057
Over four days,
they hammered our 1 1 battleships,
1116
01:45:15,225 --> 01:45:20,229
including Kongo, Haruna, Jujun,
Aoba and Chokai, with 3,000 shells
1117
01:45:20,814 --> 01:45:24,692
and completely destroyed our
airfield on Guadalcanal.
1118
01:45:25,485 --> 01:45:30,656
But the enemy is deploying
incredible numbers of reinforcements.
1119
01:45:31,241 --> 01:45:34,327
lt won't take them long
to rebuild the airfield.
1120
01:45:36,079 --> 01:45:38,164
What's the condition of the Army?
1121
01:45:38,373 --> 01:45:42,418
Following the annihilation of the
detachment that landed in August,
1122
01:45:42,586 --> 01:45:46,922
the 5,000 troops under Kawaguchi's
command are already destroyed...
1123
01:45:48,967 --> 01:45:51,594
This was the Navy's plan...
1124
01:45:53,597 --> 01:45:55,973
We must do something, but...
1125
01:45:57,601 --> 01:45:58,851
What?
1126
01:46:00,687 --> 01:46:02,021
Excuse me.
1127
01:46:07,402 --> 01:46:08,778
lt's been a while.
1128
01:46:12,032 --> 01:46:14,992
You'll be at the Naval Academy...
1129
01:46:15,285 --> 01:46:19,580
l hear you strongly recommended me
as director of the Naval Academy.
1130
01:46:19,706 --> 01:46:20,790
Really?
1131
01:46:21,041 --> 01:46:25,169
l don't think it's right to go home
to Japan at a time like this.
1132
01:46:29,216 --> 01:46:30,424
lnoue...
1133
01:46:30,967 --> 01:46:32,051
Yes.
1134
01:46:32,302 --> 01:46:35,471
The academy needs you
now more than ever.
1135
01:46:35,806 --> 01:46:36,889
What?
1136
01:46:37,224 --> 01:46:42,686
lf the worst should happen,
the young must rebuild our nation.
1137
01:46:44,064 --> 01:46:47,483
Train the young. You can do it.
1138
01:46:49,152 --> 01:46:51,862
Just like you once saved the Navy...
1139
01:46:57,494 --> 01:46:58,786
lt's in your hands.
1140
01:47:01,623 --> 01:47:02,665
Yes, Sir.
1141
01:47:05,252 --> 01:47:09,004
Our landed troops have run out
of food and ammunition.
1142
01:47:09,256 --> 01:47:10,756
At this rate, our troops
1143
01:47:11,758 --> 01:47:13,801
remaining on the island will be annihilated.
1144
01:47:14,052 --> 01:47:18,013
The lmperial Fleet still has
the Mutsu and the Nagato.
1145
01:47:18,140 --> 01:47:22,059
lt also has this ship the Yamato,
the mightiest in the world.
1146
01:47:22,227 --> 01:47:25,563
lf we don't fire our big guns now,
when do we?
1147
01:47:25,856 --> 01:47:28,315
But listen, Kadokura...
1148
01:47:28,567 --> 01:47:33,070
We should gather the full fleet
for a final massive attack!
1149
01:47:33,238 --> 01:47:37,366
Commander Kadokura, excuse me,
but we wish for that, too.
1150
01:47:37,534 --> 01:47:38,742
Why don't you?
1151
01:47:38,910 --> 01:47:40,578
-But...
-But, what?
1152
01:47:43,707 --> 01:47:44,874
ln truth...
1153
01:47:46,877 --> 01:47:48,794
We don't have the fuel.
1154
01:48:01,766 --> 01:48:04,059
We will retreat from Guadalcanal.
1155
01:48:05,061 --> 01:48:09,940
But the Navy has a responsibility
to the Army.
1156
01:48:12,694 --> 01:48:15,529
We mobilise every destroyer
1157
01:48:16,573 --> 01:48:21,911
to rescue as many troops off
Guadalcanal as we can.
1158
01:48:23,538 --> 01:48:27,917
l'll notify Central Command.
1159
01:48:29,669 --> 01:48:31,086
l'll make sure
1160
01:48:33,298 --> 01:48:37,593
this plan of retreat succeeds...
1161
01:48:41,097 --> 01:48:42,348
Commander...
1162
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:47,853
ln that case, allow me
to escort the destroyers.
1163
01:48:51,274 --> 01:48:52,775
Understood.
1164
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:56,946
lt's in your hands.
1165
01:49:23,265 --> 01:49:25,266
ln the three days of strategic retreat,
1166
01:49:25,684 --> 01:49:28,852
we rescued over 10,000 Army
and Navy men.
1167
01:49:31,273 --> 01:49:32,648
l see.
1168
01:49:34,526 --> 01:49:37,236
But during his command,
1169
01:49:38,029 --> 01:49:41,699
Commander Kadokura was killed in battle.
1170
01:49:46,871 --> 01:49:50,583
Make sure his family receives
his personal effects.
1171
01:49:52,002 --> 01:49:53,085
Yes, Sir.
1172
01:50:07,809 --> 01:50:09,893
From lmperial Headquarters.
1173
01:50:10,061 --> 01:50:12,980
ln order to accomplish their mission,
1174
01:50:13,106 --> 01:50:18,527
the troops fighting on Guadalcanal have
been transferred off the island.
1175
01:50:20,071 --> 01:50:21,196
Transferred?
1176
01:50:25,035 --> 01:50:28,370
Editor, what exactly does
"transferred" mean?
1177
01:50:28,872 --> 01:50:32,833
lt means to proceed elsewhere.
1178
01:50:34,377 --> 01:50:37,379
ln actuality, doesn't that mean retreat?
1179
01:50:39,049 --> 01:50:44,053
Elite Army and Navy troops secured
a strategic base on the Solomons.
1180
01:50:44,596 --> 01:50:49,058
Therefore, they head to New Guinea,
their original goal...
1181
01:50:49,225 --> 01:50:52,061
What else is that but a transfer?
1182
01:50:52,604 --> 01:50:53,771
Chief.
1183
01:50:53,897 --> 01:50:58,192
The public is realising that Midway
was a disastrous defeat.
1184
01:50:59,402 --> 01:51:04,907
lsn't our mission to convey
the truth to the public?
1185
01:51:07,369 --> 01:51:09,870
The mission of our newspapers
1186
01:51:11,206 --> 01:51:14,917
is to stay ahead of the people
and guide their will,
1187
01:51:15,085 --> 01:51:18,087
even as Japan constructs a new world order.
1188
01:51:18,338 --> 01:51:23,759
We report our military's glorious
exploits and keep spirits high at home!
1189
01:51:23,927 --> 01:51:25,636
lsn't that what's needed?
1190
01:51:29,391 --> 01:51:30,891
ls that really
1191
01:51:33,144 --> 01:51:34,561
our mission?
1192
01:51:40,402 --> 01:51:41,610
Shindo.
1193
01:51:44,447 --> 01:51:46,573
Right now, every citizen,
1194
01:51:48,243 --> 01:51:50,411
is fighting together...
1195
01:51:51,913 --> 01:51:53,455
ls fighting together!
1196
01:51:56,084 --> 01:51:58,460
l'll finish the editorial in two hours.
1197
01:51:59,129 --> 01:52:00,921
Okay! We'll lead with,
1198
01:52:01,339 --> 01:52:06,760
"Our elite troops transfer
from Guadalcanal."
1199
01:52:06,928 --> 01:52:07,970
Yes.
1200
01:52:09,389 --> 01:52:11,056
Tell the copydesk.
1201
01:52:11,266 --> 01:52:12,933
Yes, l will.
1202
01:52:19,858 --> 01:52:25,946
CONGRATULATlONS
TO OUR DRAFTEES
1203
01:52:26,865 --> 01:52:29,074
April, 1943.
1204
01:52:29,284 --> 01:52:33,370
The lmperial Fleet moved
its Command to Rabaul,
1205
01:52:33,496 --> 01:52:35,456
to concentrate its aviator strength.
1206
01:52:36,499 --> 01:52:40,586
The newspaper is increasingly
filled with "transfers".
1207
01:52:41,755 --> 01:52:43,505
One and a half years into this war,
1208
01:52:43,673 --> 01:52:47,050
l fear we are headed for a war of attrition,
1209
01:52:47,177 --> 01:52:51,221
like the war we're fighting against China.
1210
01:52:52,265 --> 01:52:55,976
But no one dares say it out loud.
1211

1216
01:54:03,419 --> 01:54:05,420
One year and four months into this war,
1217
01:54:05,630 --> 01:54:09,258
you've all fought hard in tough conditions.
1218
01:54:10,510 --> 01:54:13,345
But enemy attacks grow stronger every day.
1219
01:54:14,514 --> 01:54:19,101
The lmperial Fleet will now
conduct its final battle.
1220
01:54:21,187 --> 01:54:23,856
First, we'll consolidate
the Rabaul-based air squadrons
1221
01:54:24,023 --> 01:54:27,943
with all the aircraft carriers
in the Third Fleet.
1222
01:54:28,444 --> 01:54:31,071
Then we'll annihilate the enemy aviators
1223
01:54:31,197 --> 01:54:33,949
deployed in the Solomon-New Guinea area.
1224
01:54:36,202 --> 01:54:38,161
After that...
1225
01:54:40,248 --> 01:54:43,250
We'll immediately reduce our front line.
1226
01:54:44,335 --> 01:54:46,670
Are we transferring?
1227
01:54:47,255 --> 01:54:50,048
No, it's a retreat.
1228
01:54:51,217 --> 01:54:54,261
Words must be used accurately.
1229
01:54:58,433 --> 01:55:00,350
We pull back to the Marianas.
1230
01:55:00,768 --> 01:55:04,354
We use Guam and Saipan
as an unsinkable carrier
1231
01:55:05,481 --> 01:55:07,399
and fight our final air battle.
1232
01:55:07,817 --> 01:55:09,860
With that victory,
1233
01:55:13,072 --> 01:55:14,865
we sue for peace...
1234
01:55:15,450 --> 01:55:18,201
However, if we retreat our front line,
1235
01:55:18,369 --> 01:55:20,954
the enemy will launch
an all-out attack there.
1236
01:55:21,456 --> 01:55:24,207
l didn't say we pull back everything.
1237
01:55:25,835 --> 01:55:30,464
We'll keep the front line bases
until the rear is prepared.
1238
01:55:32,467 --> 01:55:36,261
What about the troops...
1239
01:55:37,347 --> 01:55:40,891
Yes, they'll be sacrificed.
1240
01:55:45,939 --> 01:55:50,651
lt's the final battle, to sue for peace.
1241
01:57:16,487 --> 01:57:18,572
Okay, return to base!
1242
01:57:18,698 --> 01:57:19,823
Roger!
1243
01:58:00,865 --> 01:58:02,199
Mother...
1244
01:58:18,007 --> 01:58:21,635
Today, the lgo Plan has ended.
1245
01:58:22,178 --> 01:58:26,223
lt was a rare victory.
We can now head to the Marianas.
1246
01:58:29,435 --> 01:58:30,602
Yes.
1247
01:58:38,402 --> 01:58:39,486
Commander.
1248
01:58:40,947 --> 01:58:43,115
Lt. Makino died in combat.
1249
01:58:49,956 --> 01:58:51,164
l see...
1250
01:58:53,543 --> 01:58:55,710
Makino's gone, too...
1251
01:59:00,216 --> 01:59:01,258
Chief of Staff,
1252
01:59:02,844 --> 01:59:07,472
l'll inspect the front lines on the 18th, too.
1253
01:59:07,598 --> 01:59:11,601
No, there are daily enemy attacks
on those bases.
1254
01:59:11,894 --> 01:59:13,895
You cannot accompany us there.
1255
01:59:15,773 --> 01:59:18,024
Mine may be an ugly face,
1256
01:59:18,734 --> 01:59:22,487
but the troops are happy to see it.
1257
01:59:25,575 --> 01:59:27,284
l'm grateful.
1258
01:59:37,253 --> 01:59:39,296
Your humble servant
1259
01:59:39,881 --> 01:59:45,302
has so many of his dear men divided
in this world and the next.
1260
01:59:47,054 --> 01:59:49,264
l both want them to welcome me there
1261
01:59:50,474 --> 01:59:54,519
and remain here to serve
on earth a little longer...
1262
01:59:55,271 --> 02:00:00,859
l am of two minds, but have one body.
1263
02:00:05,364 --> 02:00:06,823
Come in.
1264
02:00:06,949 --> 02:00:08,033
Excuse me.
1265
02:00:15,583 --> 02:00:18,543
What's that scary look for?
1266
02:00:18,961 --> 02:00:21,171
Commander Ozawa is insisting
1267
02:00:21,380 --> 02:00:25,634
that you must not inspect the front lines.
1268
02:00:27,970 --> 02:00:32,641
But if you insist, he'll fly as
many escort planes as you wish.
1269
02:00:33,643 --> 02:00:35,310
Just the usual, please.
1270
02:00:37,271 --> 02:00:39,064
Don't blow it out of proportion.
1271
02:00:39,398 --> 02:00:40,440
But, Sir...
1272
02:00:40,566 --> 02:00:42,609
The usual is fine.
1273
02:00:46,489 --> 02:00:47,656
Listen, Miyake.
1274
02:00:50,660 --> 02:00:51,701
Sir.
1275
02:00:52,662 --> 02:00:55,580
A lot of young men have died.
1276
02:00:58,709 --> 02:01:04,130
Japan's youth, who shoulder the future,
are all dying first.
1277
02:01:06,717 --> 02:01:10,637
l'm an old man, still sticking around...
1278
02:01:15,351 --> 02:01:17,018
When l see them again,
1279
02:01:20,022 --> 02:01:22,691
how am l supposed to greet them?
1280
02:01:29,198 --> 02:01:30,865
What's a man to do...
1281
02:01:48,467 --> 02:01:49,676
Come in.
1282
02:01:50,136 --> 02:01:51,219
Excuse me.
1283
02:01:53,931 --> 02:01:55,432
What is it?
1284
02:02:03,941 --> 02:02:06,735
l've been drafted into the infantry.
1285
02:02:10,740 --> 02:02:11,948
l see.
1286
02:02:15,578 --> 02:02:19,706
Akiyama will take over
the lmperial War Record.
1287
02:02:20,791 --> 02:02:22,042
l understand.
1288
02:02:24,795 --> 02:02:27,714
Thank you for everything.
1289
02:02:34,722 --> 02:02:36,639
Fight the good fight
1290
02:02:37,641 --> 02:02:41,853
for your country, Japan.
1291
02:02:43,356 --> 02:02:44,481
Yes.
1292
02:02:46,650 --> 02:02:48,068
Shindo...
1293
02:03:00,289 --> 02:03:02,332
l'll be off.
1294
02:04:06,480 --> 02:04:07,605
Hey!
1295
02:04:08,983 --> 02:04:11,818
You'll get malaria from the mosquitoes!
1296
02:04:15,239 --> 02:04:16,448
Excuse me.
1297
02:04:28,586 --> 02:04:30,920
Don't act so shocked.
1298
02:04:31,922 --> 02:04:35,758
Even l have a glass of whisky now and then.
1299
02:04:42,808 --> 02:04:51,024
lt's the midsummer festival
l burned the tip of my nose...
1300
02:04:51,233 --> 02:04:52,859
Hey, hey, what's that?
1301
02:04:52,985 --> 02:04:54,068
l memorised it.
1302
02:04:54,195 --> 02:04:55,653
Don't screw it up.
1303
02:04:55,779 --> 02:04:59,908
All right, l'll teach you the correct lyrics.
1304
02:05:09,168 --> 02:05:11,628
lt's the midsummer festival
1305
02:05:12,004 --> 02:05:16,716
Time for eggplant rice pot
1306
02:05:19,762 --> 02:05:23,306
l burned the tip of my nose
1307
02:05:23,474 --> 02:05:28,311
Licking up every scrap
1308
02:05:29,522 --> 02:05:34,526
l burned the tip of my nose
1309
02:05:34,735 --> 02:05:38,488
Licking up every scrap
1310
02:05:56,340 --> 02:05:58,841
How dare you signal the
commander's movements!
1311
02:05:59,176 --> 02:06:01,511
What if the enemy intercepts it?
1312
02:06:19,655 --> 02:06:22,407
We land at the base on Ballale
in 15 minutes.
1313
02:06:23,867 --> 02:06:24,951
Right.
1314
02:06:45,389 --> 02:06:46,556
Enemy planes!
1315
02:07:38,525 --> 02:07:40,526
Emergency landing!
1316
02:08:56,478 --> 02:08:57,770
Commander!
1317
02:10:49,675 --> 02:10:52,927
After pondering the general trends
of the world
1318
02:10:53,053 --> 02:10:56,222
and the actual conditions
in our empire today,
1319
02:10:56,390 --> 02:10:58,558
we have decided to effect
1320
02:10:58,725 --> 02:11:02,520
a settlement of the present situation
1321
02:11:02,771 --> 02:11:07,316
by resorting to an extraordinary measure.
1322
02:11:07,734 --> 02:11:11,654
We have ordered our government
1323
02:11:11,989 --> 02:11:15,616
to communicate to the U.S.,
Great Britain, China,
1324
02:11:15,826 --> 02:11:18,828
and the Soviet Union,
that our empire accepts
1325
02:11:18,996 --> 02:11:21,998
the provisions of theirjoint declaration...
1326
02:11:25,002 --> 02:11:26,502
Admiral Yamamoto,
1327
02:11:27,296 --> 02:11:31,173
it's been two years and four months
since you died.
1328
02:11:32,175 --> 02:11:36,512
And so, the war ended in a manner
1329
02:11:37,139 --> 02:11:40,892
far removed from the peace you so desired.
1330
02:12:02,331 --> 02:12:04,916
Since the war began in Pearl Harbor,
1331
02:12:05,792 --> 02:12:11,005
some three million
have lost their lives to it.
1332
02:12:11,924 --> 02:12:14,008
Over 90% of those lives
1333
02:12:14,134 --> 02:12:18,429
were lost after you died.
1334
02:12:20,140 --> 02:12:22,600
After you died on Bougainville,
1335
02:12:23,268 --> 02:12:25,061
there was no one left in Japan,
1336
02:12:25,187 --> 02:12:29,523
who could bring the war to an end.
1337
02:12:31,902 --> 02:12:35,196
When and how
1338
02:12:36,073 --> 02:12:38,115
did we go wrong?
1339
02:12:39,826 --> 02:12:44,288
And what did we lose?
1340
02:12:45,832 --> 02:12:47,792
We will abandon our past,
1341
02:12:49,628 --> 02:12:54,215
and create a new Japan with America.
1342
02:12:54,424 --> 02:12:58,928
This is our greatest mission for the future!
1343
02:13:00,305 --> 02:13:02,723
Okay, that's the editorial!
1344
02:13:02,933 --> 02:13:05,518
The answer to that
1345
02:13:06,311 --> 02:13:10,439
may have to wait 50 or 100 years...
1346
02:13:12,943 --> 02:13:15,778
Put this word "Democratize"
in the biggest font!
1347
02:13:16,446 --> 02:13:17,488
Yes.
1348
02:13:17,614 --> 02:13:19,198
But that may
1349
02:13:19,491 --> 02:13:23,828
also be enough time
for the people of our country
1350
02:13:24,121 --> 02:13:26,247
to forget everything.
1351
02:13:27,457 --> 02:13:29,333
lMPERlAL WAR RECORD
1352
02:13:29,710 --> 02:13:31,544
But Admiral Yamamoto,
1353
02:13:32,796 --> 02:13:37,008
that you,
who opposed the war above all others,
1354
02:13:37,175 --> 02:13:40,302
were forced to light its fire...
1355
02:13:43,390 --> 02:13:45,725
And that you fought
1356
02:13:46,059 --> 02:13:50,187
all your battles to restore peace
as soon as possible...
1357
02:13:53,400 --> 02:13:56,986
These facts, l will always remember.
1358
02:13:58,155 --> 02:14:03,576
WAR RECORD OF lMPERlAL JAPAN
BY SHlNDO
1359
02:14:20,010 --> 02:14:21,844
Admiral Yamamoto,
1360
02:14:23,597 --> 02:14:29,518
l believe we must start over
by really looking at the world.
1361
02:14:32,481 --> 02:14:34,482
Following your words,
1362
02:14:35,025 --> 02:14:39,195
by opening our eyes, our ears
1363
02:14:39,488 --> 02:14:41,489
and our hearts.
