794 Space Age,
485 Imperial Calendar, September.

9
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:53,930
... Reinhard and Kircheis arrive at Iserlohn Fortress.

10
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:56,630
Imperial troops were preparing for a large-scale offensive by the Union of Free Planets troops on Iserlohn,

11
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:59,260
Tannhäuser

12
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:59,260
[Flagship of the Musel division]

13
00:01:56,630 --> 00:02:00,300
... which was supposed to start in November-December of this year

14
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:08,010
... and Reinhard became part of a large grouping of the Imperial Navy located in this sector.

15
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:11,210
Did you hear that, Kircheis?

16
00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:15,410
The Union wants to once again try to capture the fortress of Iserlohn.

17
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:18,750
How many more such attempts do we need to repulse, so that they understand all their futility?

18
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:21,520
I think this is a very difficult decision for them.

19
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:25,190
What about "simple" solutions?

20
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:27,490
Personally, I don't know anything about them.

21
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:30,700
This is a joke, don't mind it.

22
00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:32,930
I don't turn.

23
00:02:32,930 --> 00:02:40,510
If I paid attention to your every sarcastic remark, I would have hung myself a long time ago!

24
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:44,980
When Reinhard realized that he was acting like a capricious child with Kircheis,

25
00:02:44,980 --> 00:02:48,950
... he, as a rule, became isolated or abruptly changed the topic of conversation.

26
00:02:49,450 --> 00:02:52,380
It's all about the Iserlohn fortress itself.

27
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:55,290
The commanders of both sides are too focused on her,

28
00:02:55,290 --> 00:02:58,820
... they artificially limit the choice of tactical solutions available to them.

29
00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:05,630
I would say that their plans do not even try to go beyond the narrow Iserlohn corridor.

30
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,770
I agree.

31
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:11,770
There are a great many small skirmishes in this sector every year.

32
00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:15,570
Senseless fights practically do not stop.

33
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:20,310
To break this vicious circle, qualitative changes are needed.

34
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:24,380
Who but me can do this?

35
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:28,290
Do you already have a plan, Reinhard?

36
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:32,220
Well, my self-confidence
is not based on nothing.

37
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:33,420
If I had the right power,

38
00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:37,760
... then he would create a strategy in which there would be no need for the fortress of Iserlohn.

39
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,940
But right now, I'm only in command of a thousand ships.

40
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,040
Reinhard...

41
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,070
I know you shouldn't rush things.

42
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:53,240
At least this time we will still be participating in a major battle of fleets.

43
00:03:53,240 --> 00:04:00,620
It will not be like last time, when Lüneburg suddenly got in my way and seized the initiative.

44
00:04:00,620 --> 00:04:04,990
Are you still angry with Rear Admiral Lüneburg, Reinhard?

45
00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:06,920
He.

46
00:04:07,730 --> 00:04:09,060
A little.

47
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:12,830
Don't take his antics to heart.

48
00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:18,100
If he gets in our way again, I'll figure out what we can do about it.

49
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,070
You only have to look ahead, Reinhard.

50
00:04:22,270 --> 00:04:23,870
You are right, Kircheis.

51
00:04:23,870 --> 00:04:25,340
I count on you.

52
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:28,750
You have never let me down, no matter how difficult things are for you.

53
00:04:49,530 --> 00:04:50,600
Captain 1st Rank Kessler.

54
00:05:01,180 --> 00:05:02,910
What brings you here?

55
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,190
I am here representing the interests of one of the highest officers of the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense of the Empire.

56
00:05:09,850 --> 00:05:12,590
Senior officer of the General Staff?
This case is not...

57
00:05:12,590 --> 00:05:14,560
His Excellency,
Admiral Grimmelshausen.

58
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:17,800
Of course.

59
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,360
How is the Admiral?

60
00:05:20,730 --> 00:05:26,200
About the same time that you, Rear Admiral Musel, left Odin,

61
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,280
... Admiral Grimmelshausen came down with a cold, which, unfortunately, gave complications and turned into pneumonia.

62
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,010
Is everything that bad?

63
00:05:33,010 --> 00:05:36,280
He is rapidly debilitating due to this pneumonia, if his condition does not improve,

64
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:39,650
... it will be a miracle if he makes it to the end of the year.

65
00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:44,360
The emperor is very concerned about his condition and sent personal doctors to look after him.

66
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,690
Very sad...

67
00:05:46,690 --> 00:05:49,290
In any case, age takes its toll.

68
00:05:49,290 --> 00:05:52,630
Besides, ever since he was removed from the front line,

69
00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:56,330
... or rather, since he himself removed himself from the front line, he has been quite depressed.

70
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,270
Sad to hear.

71
00:06:00,870 --> 00:06:05,710
Okay, enough of that, by the way, Captain Kessler, on Odin I must have caused you some trouble...

72
00:06:05,710 --> 00:06:07,510
Not even worth mentioning.

73
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:08,880
Your interference

74
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,080
... did not allow Rear Admiral Lüneburg to make a fool of me.

75
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,550
So thank you.

76
00:06:18,460 --> 00:06:24,660
Rear Admiral, as far as I heard, this time you are in command of a separate naval unit.

77
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:29,230
During the previous campaign, I had 100 ships under my command.

78
00:06:29,230 --> 00:06:31,570
This time there are a thousand of them.

79
00:06:31,570 --> 00:06:35,640
I hope next time there will be at least ten thousand of them.

80
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:43,180
It seems to me that with your talents, this moment will not have to wait long.

81
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:47,890
Not the last role in this matter is played by whether others recognize my talent.

82
00:06:47,890 --> 00:06:50,290
By the way, your presence is here

83
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:55,160
... as a representative of the General Staff is official?

84
00:06:56,130 --> 00:06:59,100
In our society, it is sometimes difficult to

85
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:02,930
... the line between the official orders of the government and the informal requests of individual dignitaries.

86
00:07:02,930 --> 00:07:05,370
I would say that my case is only a small illustration of this feature of the Empire.

87
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:11,210
Indeed, such examples are countless.

88
00:07:11,210 --> 00:07:16,050
But still, I'd be curious to know what you're actually doing here.

89
00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:20,180
As the saying goes: "Truth
is the daughter of time."

90
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:25,820
If the truth is revealed too soon, it is like a premature baby,

91
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:29,560
...and even put your own mother in danger.

92
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,860
Do you really think so?

93
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,530
The important thing is that whoever sent me here seems to really believe it.

94
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,600
I can only speculate.

95
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,110
In any case, I don't think you should interfere in this matter.

96
00:07:57,220 --> 00:08:02,290
Meanwhile, the Free Planets Alliance has amassed a fleet of 36,900 warships,

97
00:08:02,290 --> 00:08:04,300
... which was supposed to interfere with the Imperial Navy

98
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:06,630
Union Free Planets Space Fleet

99
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:10,900
... bypass the Iserlohn corridor and take a strategic position at the entrance to it.

100
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,970
ajax

101
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,970
[Flagship of the Commander-in-Chief of the Union]

102
00:08:12,170 --> 00:08:17,040
The officer who proposed such a daring plan to the General Staff

103
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,180
... was Rear Admiral Willem Holland, commander of one of the Union fleets.

104
00:08:22,350 --> 00:08:25,880
During all our previous attacks on Iserlohn Fortress, we concentrated all our efforts on preventing

105
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,650
Rear Admiral Willem Holland

106
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,650
[Fleet unit commander]

107
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:31,890
... the enemy to use the main weapon
of the fortress - Thor's Hammer

108
00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:33,290
...or render it useless.

109
00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:36,560
I suggest this time to act differently.

110
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,830
Rear Admiral Willem Holland was almost 32 years old.

111
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:44,470
He was considered a young talent, even by the standards of the Union fleet, in which the average age of officers was relatively small.

112
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:47,140
First of all,
we use our main fleet as bait.

113
00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:52,740
Of course, we should keep him out of the range of Thor's Hammer.

114
00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:57,950
Fortunately, its scope is known to us from previous battles.

115
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:07,290
Along the outer boundary of this area, at the minimum allowable distance, along the line that I will henceforth call the "allowable line" or, for short, the line-D,

116
00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:11,630
... we will position our main fleet, and we will maneuver so that it constantly crosses this line a little and immediately retreats.

117
00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:10,700
Admiral Dwight Greenhill

118
00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:10,700
[Chief of the General Staff]

119
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,730
We hope that this will force the enemy to send us

120
00:09:15,730 --> 00:09:17,740
... significant forces with the task of imposing a fight on our fleet and driving it under the blow of Thor's Hammer.

121
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:23,870
Thus, we will lure the enemy fleet to the very line-D,

122
00:09:23,870 --> 00:09:26,080
...thus causing their line of defense to stretch and thin.

123
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,080
At that moment, we will send a squad of our missile carriers to the very edge of the Iserlohn corridor.

124
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:37,560
... with the task of attacking the fortress directly.

125
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,760
By concentrating all their firepower at one point, we can breach the fortress's armor.

126
00:09:46,030 --> 00:09:49,630
The admirals took Holland's plan with far less fervor than he expected.

127
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:55,870
Some of them were quite annoyed, the very fact that the plan was proposed by Holland, just the commander of one of the units,

128
00:09:55,870 --> 00:09:59,780
... not part of the General Staff, but there were no objections either,

129
00:09:58,780 --> 00:10:01,750
Commodore Alex Kazeln

130
00:09:58,780 --> 00:10:01,750
[Chief of Staff of the Command of Logistics Units]

131
00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:02,010
... since no one could offer a reasonable alternative to Holland's plan.

132
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,380
They still approved the plan.

133
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:08,890
I wonder why?

134
00:10:08,890 --> 00:10:11,090
At home, in the headquarters of the fleet there is some officer,

135
00:10:11,090 --> 00:10:14,290
... Captain 2nd Rank Andrew Faulk.

136
00:10:14,290 --> 00:10:19,400
I know this guy, at the military academy he was the best student in the next year after ours, he even gave a speech at the graduation.

137
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:17,760
Captain 3rd Rank Dusty Attenborough

138
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:17,760
[Captain of the destroyer Elem III]

139
00:10:19,830 --> 00:10:23,370
A gloomy guy, but as I see it, he has already been promoted to captain of the 2nd rank.

140
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,100
Exactly.  And if you meet, you'll have to salute him.

141
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:30,570
Well, this same Captain Falk brought exactly the same plan.

142
00:10:30,570 --> 00:10:33,880
Fleet Admiral Lobos has a very high opinion of this guy, and he said:

143
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,650
"If he supports this plan,
then the plan will be approved."

144
00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:42,950
Do they approve strategic plans based not on their content, but on the personality of the author?

145
00:10:42,950 --> 00:10:44,890
What a bunch of morons...

146
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:49,460
Let this be a lesson to you: always be aware of what others think of you.

147
00:10:49,460 --> 00:10:53,900
By the way, how does the destroyer commander have so much free time to sit here with us?

148
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,900
On my ship the team is so well coordinated

149
00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:58,700
... that the only thing left for the captain is to rest.

150
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:03,540
That's why I came here to see a senior comrade who doesn't seem to suffer from a lack of free time either.

151
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:06,610
That's not true.
I have a lot to do.

152
00:11:06,610 --> 00:11:09,750
Ever since Vice Admiral Celebrity went missing,

153
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:12,720
... I, in fact, pull all the work related to logistics.

154
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,950
Come on, I know this very well.

155
00:11:14,950 --> 00:11:18,890
We owe you every breakfast, lunch or dinner, Commodore Kaseln.

156
00:11:18,890 --> 00:11:22,190
And every time, before I start eating, I praise you for your generosity, for your invisible work.

157
00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:24,560
Enough already, stop freaking out.

158
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,900
But when I said "a senior comrade with plenty of time," I didn't mean you at all,

159
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:30,270
... but this one of our staff officers is half-time.

160
00:11:30,270 --> 00:11:31,500
Mm?

161
00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:36,440
Jan, what do you think about our plan "Waltz at the turn-D"?

162
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,880
Pretty tasteless name, in my opinion.

163
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,150
And here is the name, I ask you about the plan itself?

164
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,850
Captain 1st Rank Yang Wenli

165
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,850
[Officer at the headquarters of the commander in chief]

166
00:11:45,450 --> 00:11:48,420
I don't think it's the worst possible plan.

167
00:11:48,420 --> 00:11:51,320
So you don't like him?

168
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,090
You see, in my opinion, the best plan is not to attack Iserlohn at all.

169
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:56,690
Great idea!

170
00:11:56,690 --> 00:11:59,100
At least there would be no unnecessary losses.

171
00:12:00,530 --> 00:12:07,140
No, I mean that our main enemy is the Empire, and not the fortress of Iserlohn itself.

172
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:13,310
When this fortress was built, many had a completely wrong impression,

173
00:12:13,310 --> 00:12:17,650
... that the war with the Empire cannot be won without taking this fortress.

174
00:12:20,450 --> 00:12:25,720
In any case, I am sure that Iserlohn Fortress cannot be taken by brute force alone.

175
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,760
I agree.

176
00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:31,060
Okay, I guess it's time.

177
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:33,800
Don't be so flippant and take care of your ship!

178
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,070
I don't think your jokes will be enough to defeat the enemy.

179
00:12:36,530 --> 00:12:37,940
Yes, yes, I know.

180
00:12:46,340 --> 00:12:47,340
By the way,.

181
00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:53,720
... the daughter of Admiral Greenhill this June graduated from the military academy second in her year.

182
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:55,520
Must be a very talented girl.

183
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,760
And also beautiful.

184
00:12:59,190 --> 00:13:00,460
But you're not interested, are you?

185
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:05,160
It's not that I'm not interested at all, but, to tell the truth, she is not a person of my circle.

186
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,000
And what's worse is that she's your commander's daughter, huh?

187
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,970
Well, nothing surprising.
This is all you.

188
00:13:16,610 --> 00:13:18,540
Oh, by the way, how is Julian doing?

189
00:13:18,540 --> 00:13:19,410
In general - good.

190
00:13:19,410 --> 00:13:20,880
It has already grown, it has become quite large.

191
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:25,880
Since the main task of the operation was to attack the fortress of Iserlohn,

192
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,450
[Rosenritters - Knights of the Rose]

193
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,550
... the large number of landing troops involved in it was natural.

194
00:13:29,550 --> 00:13:34,390
Of course, not without a regiment of Rosenritters.

195
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,160
Walther von Schönkopf was promoted to colonel

196
00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:38,960
Colonel Walther von Schönkopf

197
00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:38,960
[Commander of the Rosenritter Regiment]

198
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,100
...immediately prior to this mission, and was formally appointed as the thirteenth commander of the regiment.

199
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:46,870
Ever since the battle at Van Fleet 4-2,

200
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:51,340
... he was considered as acting commander,

201
00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:53,240
... and now, finally, he received an official promotion.

202
00:13:54,750 --> 00:13:58,880
It is quite possible that this is an advance promotion, with which the command is trying to force you

203
00:13:55,180 --> 00:13:58,120
Kasper Linz

204
00:13:55,180 --> 00:13:58,120
[Major]

205
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,050
... complete your task by all means.

206
00:14:03,050 --> 00:14:07,490
In that case, maybe this is a hint to all of us - to return with a shield or on a shield?

207
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,920
Rainer Blumhardt

208
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,920
[Captain]

209
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:12,800
Linz and Blumhardt received promotions to major and captain respectively,

210
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,430
... but their mood was not festive at all.

211
00:14:17,770 --> 00:14:21,270
In this campaign, I still finish my conversation with Lüneburg.

212
00:14:23,410 --> 00:14:30,910
A new commander can appear at the Rosenritters only after the previous one dies.

213
00:14:32,380 --> 00:14:37,450
But how do we find it?
The battlefield is huge.

214
00:14:37,450 --> 00:14:39,320
It won't be easy.

215
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,630
At every opportunity, we will let the troops of the Empire know

216
00:14:45,630 --> 00:14:50,730
... that we Rosenritters are here, alive and well.

217
00:14:50,730 --> 00:14:52,870
We will write our message in huge gothic letters and make the enemy see it.

218
00:14:53,740 --> 00:14:59,280
In this case, Lüneburg will have no choice but to personally confront us on the battlefield.

219
00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:05,250
He chose his own path - the path of betrayal, and now, if he does not answer our challenge.

220
00:15:05,250 --> 00:15:08,290
It will not be able to maintain either its position or its reputation,

221
00:15:08,290 --> 00:15:10,190
... so I'm sure he'll show up.

222
00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:12,060
Well, what if it doesn't?

223
00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:16,190
Then we will secretly inform the Empire that Lüneburg is a Union spy,

224
00:15:16,190 --> 00:15:19,200
...only pretending to be a defector.

225
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,800
I do not think that Lüneburg so subdued the Imperials with his personal qualities that they did not attach importance to this.

226
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,070
Colonel, you are a sly one.

227
00:15:27,070 --> 00:15:30,840
In this situation, I think Lüneburg will really have no choice.

228
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,180
Well, it's a classic strategy.

229
00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:36,180
But as for me, it's better than the good old classics

230
00:15:36,180 --> 00:15:39,620
... haven't come up with anything yet.

231
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,320
Schönkopf also had personal motives.

232
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,820
Lüneburg was responsible for the death of his beloved and subordinates.

233
00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:51,300
Just by breaking up with him

234
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:55,570
... Schönkopf could break with this part of his past.

235
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:06,180
October to November 794 of the Space
Age (485 of the Imperial calendar)

236
00:15:59,770 --> 00:16:03,410
794 Space Age,
485 Imperial Calendar, October.

237
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:10,780
... now and then small skirmishes broke out in the vicinity of the exit from the Iserlohn corridor from the side of the Union,

238
00:16:10,780 --> 00:16:14,550
... the purpose of each of which was to seize control of another small patch of space.

239
00:16:16,950 --> 00:16:20,090
Between 50 and 3000 ships participated in these clashes,

240
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:24,800
... depending on the size of each of the several thousand conditional plots into which the belligerents have divided the sector.

241
00:16:25,730 --> 00:16:30,070
Reinhard and his unit took part in more than 20 such skirmishes.

242
00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:34,440
Rejoicing at the opportunity to prove himself at last, he tried to demonstrate all his abilities as a commander.

243
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:37,270
However, the actions of a unit of 1000 ships

244
00:16:37,270 --> 00:16:40,280
...was definitely not enough to affect the course of the battle as a whole

245
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,480
... and the command of the Imperial Navy simply did not notice his achievements.

246
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,280
But his achievements were noticed by the command of the Union army,

247
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,120
... where they came to the conclusion that an unknown, but certainly talented enemy commander appeared on the battlefield.

248
00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:58,800
If someone then hit our flank, the entire fleet would be in danger of destruction.

249
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,860
Yes, it was very close.

250
00:17:00,860 --> 00:17:04,530
Yeah, for an aristocrat who drinks all the time, drags herself behind skirts

251
00:17:04,530 --> 00:17:07,100
... yes, having fun in Neue Sanssouci, it was not a bad maneuver at all.

252
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,440
If they knew anything about the identity of their opponent,

253
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,550
... then they would have refrained from such arrogant comments.

254
00:17:16,350 --> 00:17:19,980
November 6th Union Rear Admiral Ramsey Wortz

255
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:24,320
... at the head of a unit of 2500 ships, he collided with Reinhard's detachment.

256
00:17:24,890 --> 00:17:27,320
Enemy ships detected!
Approximate number - 1000.

257
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:28,560
Rear Admiral Ramsay Wartz

258
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:28,560
[Fleet unit commander]

259
00:17:29,490 --> 00:17:31,460
The enemy ships are grouped very tightly.

260
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:32,800
Captain 1st Rank Malcolm Weidborn

261
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:32,800
[Wortz's Chief of Staff]

262
00:17:31,460 --> 00:17:36,100
We have to outflank them, surround them and destroy them, don't we?

263
00:17:36,530 --> 00:17:38,970
Disperse the flanks and start encircling the enemy!

264
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:45,280
Wortz's chief of staff, Malcolm Weidborn, was only 27 at the time.

265
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,480
They said at the military academy that talent like him didn't come up more than once a decade.

266
00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:51,280
Enemy!

267
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,650
What?

268
00:17:52,650 --> 00:17:54,350
Enemy ships are rapidly approaching us!

269
00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:55,650
What?

270
00:17:56,250 --> 00:17:59,290
Reinhard deliberately concentrated and concentrated all his firepower

271
00:17:59,290 --> 00:18:02,430
... in the very center of the enemy fleet in order to deprive him of the coherence of actions.

272
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,830
Just unbelieveble!

273
00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:08,730
Can't be!

274
00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:09,970
It's just pointless...

275
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,040
After the loss of the flagship, the Wortz fleet was unable to offer serious resistance to Reinhard.

276
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,180
... and only three hundred ships managed to escape from the battlefield.

277
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:31,190
Later, on November 14, a squadron of fast cruisers under the command of Rear Admiral Cabot of the Union Army

278
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:34,190
... was destroyed by an unexpected attack from the rear.

279
00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:38,630
When such incidents became more frequent,

280
00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:41,430
... the command of the Union could no longer turn a blind eye to them.

281
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:44,900
It looks like the Imperials have a commander with a non-trivial mindset.

282
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:49,740
Most of our defeats in recent days are his work, aren't they?

283
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,370
Fleet Admiral Lazar Lobos

284
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,370
[Commander-in-Chief of the Union Fleet]

285
00:18:50,740 --> 00:18:51,980
Quite possible.

286
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,040
And what do you plan to do with it?

287
00:18:55,580 --> 00:18:57,280
Chief of Staff Greenhill

288
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,820
... gladly focused on planning the assault on the Iserlohn fortress itself,

289
00:19:00,820 --> 00:19:04,420
... and therefore decided to entrust the opposition to the new "star" of the enemy to someone else.

290
00:19:05,220 --> 00:19:09,630
So, Greenhill instructed to deal with the enemy commander Yang Wenli, known as the "hero of El Fasil"

291
00:19:09,630 --> 00:19:12,160
...and gave him all the information he knew.

292
00:19:13,130 --> 00:19:14,730
He remembered that six years ago, Yang Wenli

293
00:19:14,730 --> 00:19:18,300
... saved a huge number of civilians on the planet El Fasil,

294
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:21,610
... for which he received his nickname.

295
00:19:22,940 --> 00:19:26,280
Everyone knew about this incident, but most of the officers were inclined to consider it a happy accident,

296
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,550
...because nothing in Yang's appearance resembled a hero.

297
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:35,450
The next day, Yang Wenli submitted his plan to Greenhill for consideration.

298
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,550
Good.

299
00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:39,060
I like this plan.

300
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:41,190
Ah.

301
00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:43,390
May I ask you for a favor?

302
00:19:43,390 --> 00:19:45,060
Speak up.

303
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:49,800
Could you tell me this is your plan and not mine?

304
00:19:50,830 --> 00:19:55,840
But in this case, I can not even encourage you for your work.

305
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,140
This doesn't seem like a good idea to me at all.

306
00:19:59,010 --> 00:20:05,120
But if people find out that I made the plan, they won't take it seriously.

307
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,950
It would be much better if someone from the General Staff proposed the plan.

308
00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:17,990
Yes, and one more thing, if you will, do not reduce the number of ships,

309
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:21,000
... specified in this plan, otherwise it can turn against us.

310
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,100
In accordance with the developed plan, November 19th

311
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:27,970
... Reinhard was practically surrounded by the Union fleet.

312
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,280
That day, Reinhard tried a very difficult tactic.

313
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,510
He started a fight and immediately began a false retreat,

314
00:20:36,510 --> 00:20:39,980
... in order to wait until the enemy is sufficiently carried away by the pursuit,

315
00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:45,020
... slip along his flank and attack from the rear.

316
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,890
In fact, all his previous fights were preparation for the implementation of this plan.

317
00:20:48,890 --> 00:20:54,230
In them, Reinhard experimented quite a lot with various formations and maneuvers.

318
00:20:55,030 --> 00:20:56,770
Kircheis, did you see that?

319
00:20:56,770 --> 00:20:59,670
That ship emerged victorious from a skirmish with two opponents at once.

320
00:21:00,340 --> 00:21:01,170
Yes.

321
00:21:01,170 --> 00:21:03,310
Great job.

322
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,010
Who is in command of this ship?

323
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,610
It is commanded by Captain 1st Rank Fritz Josef Bittenfeld.

324
00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:16,490
He looks like a dude, but his actions are precise and accurate.

325
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,260
I would like to meet him when the battle is over.

326
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:20,360
How old is he?

327
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,330
Judging by the personal file - 27.

328
00:21:23,330 --> 00:21:25,160
Oh, he's still quite young.

329
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:27,200
What?

330
00:21:28,730 --> 00:21:33,140
As soon as Reinhard completed his exit to the rear of his original enemy,

331
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:36,570
... as new Union ships appeared behind him, two more squads rushed towards him from above and below!

332
00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:40,280
Even though they didn't even know each other's names back then,

333
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,910
... Yang Wenli figured out the tactics invented by Reinhard.

334
00:21:43,550 --> 00:21:45,880
Yang found out that an unusually talented opponent

335
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,520
... tried many different builds,

336
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,890
... and predicted that all this could be preparation for execution

337
00:21:50,890 --> 00:21:53,190
... "retreat with subsequent passage along the flank."

338
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,290
Moreover, Yan analyzed the location of Reinhard's fleet

339
00:21:57,290 --> 00:22:01,300
... and reserved a division of 10,000 ships for its complete encirclement,

340
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:04,330
... after which he transferred command of the operation to Admiral Greenhill.

341
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:09,510
But unfortunately, as Yang feared, the Union fleet command did not allocate enough ships,

342
00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:11,980
... to make the environment complete.

343
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,880
Reinhard identified the weakest point and successfully escaped from the encirclement,

344
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,120
... although he lost about a third of his ships in the process.

345
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:26,420
We've only lost 30 ships before this fight, but now...

346
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:27,720
Reinhard...

347
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:30,160
I know.

348
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,560
Nobody can run forever.

349
00:22:33,530 --> 00:22:35,530
Perhaps I am too relaxed.

350
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:40,670
It seems that in the enemy fleet, there are also sensible commanders.

351
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,180
Did he slip away anyway?

352
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,050
Yes unfortunately.

353
00:22:49,050 --> 00:22:50,310
Well, that's okay,

354
00:22:50,310 --> 00:22:54,520
... enough of the fact that we clicked on the nose of this smart guy.

355
00:22:55,150 --> 00:22:58,520
Our main goal is the fortress of Iserlohn,

356
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,460
... do not get too distracted by various trifles.

357
00:23:07,930 --> 00:23:10,330
Perhaps what is there is good.

358
00:23:10,330 --> 00:23:13,840
At least we got the Imperials to retreat.

359
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,270
Although, in light of the fact that their main task is to lure us into the radius of destruction of the fortress.

360
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:21,340
Retreat only plays into their hands.

361
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,650
The front line really shifted towards the fortress.

362
00:23:25,650 --> 00:23:29,820
At first glance, this spoke of the advantage of the Union.

363
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:33,720
But as Yang suspected, the Imperial retreat was planned.

364
00:23:35,460 --> 00:23:39,730
Reinhard's detachment also returned to the fortress for a while,

365
00:23:39,730 --> 00:23:43,770
... in order to replenish supplies, patch ships and prepare for future battles.

366
00:23:46,770 --> 00:23:48,270
December 1st

367
00:23:48,270 --> 00:23:53,940
... the Union fleet finally deployed all its forces along the strike zone of the fortress.

368
00:23:55,580 --> 00:23:58,880
At the moment, the enemy fleet is out of range of Thor's Hammer!

369
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,650
They stopped 6.4 light seconds before him!

370
00:24:00,650 --> 00:24:04,590
Approximate number of 30,000 ships!

371
00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:07,720
Send out our fleet.

372
00:24:08,830 --> 00:24:11,490
Force them into the range of the Hammer!

373
00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:33,550
The sixth battle for the fortress of Iserlohn began.

374
00:24:37,220 --> 00:24:38,350
Open fire!

375
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,990
The festival of death and destruction has begun.

376
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:45,960
daughter of truth

377
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,700
Translation that you can say:

378
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,700
Primary editing and timing: Melk3

379
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,700
Version 3.0.0(03/01/2011)

380
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,650
See below

381
00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:40,580
The Union Army began to implement its plan.

382
00:26:40,580 --> 00:26:42,280
Reinhard predicts the enemy's intentions

383
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,110
... and makes good use of his small squad

384
00:26:44,110 --> 00:26:45,650
... to gain an advantage by performing all new feats on the battlefield.

385
00:26:45,650 --> 00:26:49,290
At the same time, in the thick of the battle, Schenkopf challenges Lüneburg to a one-on-one duel,

386
00:26:49,290 --> 00:26:52,190
... in order to settle their dispute once and for all.

387
00:26:52,190 --> 00:26:55,160
Finally, the obituaries arrive on Iserlohn.

388
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,630
The next episode of the Legend of the Heroes of the Galaxy Gaiden...

389
00:26:57,660 --> 00:27:07,570
Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden

390
00:26:57,660 --> 00:27:07,570
Part 11

391
00:26:57,660 --> 00:27:07,570
One hundred million stars,
