1
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,690
May, Unified Year 1927

2
00:00:52,070 --> 00:00:55,070
The Empire's Unstoppable March Continues...

3
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,060
You're out of your office in
the middle of an operation, huh?

4
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,780
And you're entering without permission.

5
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,150
Does the word "classified"
mean nothing to you?

6
00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:35,340
I simply thought you might
join me for breakfast.

7
00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:38,700
You stayed here all night again?

8
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:42,570
There's no one waiting for me at home.

9
00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:46,210
Your wife and daughter are still
at her parents' home in the south?

10
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,200
Yes. They haven't left since
my daughter's fiancé died.

11
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,760
It's still badly affecting her, it seems.

12
00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:57,250
I'm sure she knew it was possible, but...

13
00:01:57,670 --> 00:02:01,480
It's a tragedy happening everywhere
in the Empire right now.

14
00:02:05,810 --> 00:02:08,770
You can come stay at
my place, if you like.

15
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,920
I'll get you something more
comfortable to sleep on.

16
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,010
I'll pass.

17
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:15,100
As long as I can sleep, it
doesn't matter where I do it.

18
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:18,950
The operation's started.

19
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:22,490
A large-scale counterattack that
will determine the fate of the war.

20
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:28,000
However it ends, I hope it ends here.

21
00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:30,950
Yes.

22
00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:03,710
This story is a work of fiction. People, organizations, locations, laws, names, etc. have no relation to any real-life counterparts.

23
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:04,860
How does our comms network look?

24
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:05,700
It's fine.

25
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:06,670
No sign of enemy airpower in the area.

26
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:11,610
"No reparations, no territorial changes,
no other conditions" is not acceptable.

27
00:04:11,610 --> 00:04:13,660
That's our leaders' determination.

28
00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:19,170
Which means we need to win
better terms for ourselves.

29
00:04:19,170 --> 00:04:21,740
Security guarantees are our top priority.

30
00:04:21,740 --> 00:04:27,250
A demilitarized buffer zone.
And reparations, if possible.

31
00:04:27,250 --> 00:04:30,130
It's fine to continue
the negotiations, but...

32
00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:32,340
Now the war's entirely political.

33
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:35,030
High leadership made the call.

34
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:37,450
I'm sure you have your own
opinions as a soldier,

35
00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:39,220
but I'll ask you to
keep them to yourself.

36
00:04:39,580 --> 00:04:40,940
It's time.

37
00:04:46,340 --> 00:04:46,700
Episode Four
Operation Iron Hammer

38
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:48,670
Let's get started, then.

39
00:04:56,670 --> 00:04:59,060
A sealed order from command.

40
00:05:00,370 --> 00:05:03,940
Now, let's see what
they've got to say today...

41
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:09,790
Paratroopers? That's crazy.

42
00:05:09,790 --> 00:05:11,790
The bridges are too far...

43
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,490
Get our officers together immediately.

44
00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:16,630
Understood.

45
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,820
We still don't have our lines
in good order...

46
00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:26,970
Even if we push our lines forward,
they'll just push them back.

47
00:05:26,970 --> 00:05:29,930
We still don't have enough supplies...

48
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:33,610
This was supposed to end
with unconditional peace!

49
00:05:33,610 --> 00:05:36,380
And instead we're launching
a large-scale attack?

50
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:41,720
Major, what should I be doing
during this operation?

51
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,330
Don't worry. Nothing difficult.

52
00:05:45,330 --> 00:05:47,050
If they tell you to go, you go.

53
00:05:47,050 --> 00:05:48,800
If they tell you to return, you return.

54
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,280
You run around for a while,
and then the battle's over.

55
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:58,710
Our trained officers have learned to
keep their heads straight, but...

56
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:02,330
If you're going to fight,
you need sweets!

57
00:06:02,330 --> 00:06:04,520
Hey, don't keep them to yourself!

58
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,530
Hey, don't take every last one!

59
00:06:09,530 --> 00:06:12,910
I'll have to take a lesson from them.

60
00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:16,060
It's not like peace talks
are off the table entirely.

61
00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:18,710
I'll just have to do my job.

62
00:06:20,450 --> 00:06:22,440
It's time, everyone!

63
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,450
Our goal for this operation is to surround
and annihilate the enemy's field army.

64
00:06:28,450 --> 00:06:31,010
We'll destroy the enemy's main forces

65
00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:34,190
and eliminate their ability
to continue this war.

66
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:40,040
The key to this operation is to use the
river to the enemy's rear as a barrier.

67
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:45,540
The paratroopers have already
deployed to make this happen.

68
00:06:45,910 --> 00:06:48,530
They're attempting to lock
down several bridges.

69
00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:53,230
We will follow up and
reinforce the paratroopers,

70
00:06:53,230 --> 00:06:55,750
destroying the enemy's line
of retreat and supply lines.

71
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Of course, the enemy will do whatever
it takes to get those bridges back.

72
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,240
We need to support the paratroopers
and protect the bridges.

73
00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:08,070
Thus, this operation
will be about mobility.

74
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:12,170
We will smash into the enemy lines
with a highly mobile "iron hammer"

75
00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:14,790
and meet up with our paratroopers
at the enemy's rear.

76
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:17,760
With their lines of retreat
and supplies totally cut off,

77
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,310
we will then divide and surround
the enemy field army.

78
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:24,920
Our allies will then
annihilate our trapped foe.

79
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:29,320
So thoroughly the Federation's leadership
never wants to fight a war again.

80
00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:34,170
Our job in this operation is to
be at the front of the charge.

81
00:07:34,510 --> 00:07:36,480
We'll be breaking through
the enemy's center.

82
00:07:37,010 --> 00:07:40,230
If we're delayed, the paratroopers
may be wiped out.

83
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:42,120
Our responsibility is great.

84
00:07:43,650 --> 00:07:47,780
Lieutenant Colonel, an operation
like this requires air superiority.

85
00:07:47,780 --> 00:07:50,900
We can't move when
we're being shot from the sky.

86
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:52,470
Don't worry.

87
00:07:52,470 --> 00:07:55,810
Our allies have already secured
air superiority, I'm told.

88
00:07:55,810 --> 00:07:59,000
Even if that's true,
the enemy's defenses are strong.

89
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,680
They don't have any trenches yet, but...

90
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,380
How do we break through?

91
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,880
Look at this!

92
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,280
A Federation command jurisdiction map?

93
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,330
That's right.

94
00:08:13,330 --> 00:08:15,860
Strategic HQ intelligence
has a plan for us

95
00:08:15,860 --> 00:08:18,870
to slip through the gaps in
their assigned combat areas.

96
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:23,690
But can we slip through the enemy's
lines with an entire division?

97
00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:25,840
Is that possible?

98
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,670
We won't be able to communicate
with our allies, right?

99
00:08:28,670 --> 00:08:31,230
I can understand your concerns.

100
00:08:31,230 --> 00:08:34,030
So I've decided to
prepare a little trick.

101
00:08:34,340 --> 00:08:36,970
A trick, ma'am?

102
00:08:38,530 --> 00:08:41,230
That's correct, Captain Ahrens.

103
00:08:41,490 --> 00:08:46,360
Get us to the river,
no matter what it takes.

104
00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:53,200
Sitting on a tank hurts my butt
more than I thought it would.

105
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,810
It sure does.

106
00:08:54,810 --> 00:08:58,700
But it means we don't give off any
magical signals like we do when we fly,

107
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:02,270
so the enemy will be focusing
on the other mage units.

108
00:09:02,530 --> 00:09:06,270
The Federation will be looking for
mages in the sky, not on the ground.

109
00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:09,120
And that means we're much
more likely to succeed.

110
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,630
We have clear visibility on
any approaching enemies too.

111
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,030
Enemy attack!

112
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,890
3 o'clock!

113
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:24,860
We're completely within enemy territory.

114
00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:26,530
If the enemy finds us...

115
00:09:27,020 --> 00:09:29,920
We're sitting ducks.

116
00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:42,300
Hang on tight!

117
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:34,260
Ambush at one o' clock!

118
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,060
W-Wait, don't shoot!

119
00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:42,490
Those helmets!

120
00:10:42,490 --> 00:10:43,670
Those are allies!

121
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:45,160
Our allied paratroops.

122
00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:48,290
Everyone! Wave your helmets! Wave them!

123
00:10:55,210 --> 00:10:56,590
Comrades!

124
00:10:56,590 --> 00:10:58,030
I'm so glad you're alive!

125
00:10:58,030 --> 00:11:00,340
I'm so glad you're here!

126
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:04,430
I'm Lieutenant Colonel Degurechaff,
formerly in charge of this combat team.

127
00:11:04,810 --> 00:11:06,700
Is there anything you need?

128
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:10,840
We've been here for three days
and are running low on ammo.

129
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,610
I'll get it immediately.

130
00:11:12,610 --> 00:11:16,600
We'll ask for some water in exchange.

131
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Water?

132
00:11:18,730 --> 00:11:20,730
There's plenty of water...

133
00:11:20,730 --> 00:11:23,600
That's what you've won as
a prize of war, right?

134
00:11:24,830 --> 00:11:28,660
Let's have a trade, then. Water for ammo.

135
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:32,330
True. This is our war prize.

136
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:35,690
I'll take a photograph to
remember the occasion later.

137
00:11:35,690 --> 00:11:39,070
Of course. Let us prepare the cameras!

138
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,110
The charge was a success.

139
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:44,800
6th Airborne Regiment has made contact
with the Rerugen Combat Team.

140
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,010
The Rerugen Combat Team?

141
00:11:47,010 --> 00:11:48,040
Apologies.

142
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,550
That's the codename for
the Salamander Combat Team.

143
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,330
Let's surround the enemy
immediately with all our forces.

144
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:55,570
The troops have already started to move.

145
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:57,560
Okay, we've got them.

146
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,620
This is where the mission really begins.

147
00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:02,050
We'll stop the enemy's
attempt to break out.

148
00:12:02,050 --> 00:12:06,580
Taking out their counterattack unit's
leadership would be the fastest way.

149
00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:08,960
Attack their HQ directly?

150
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,670
Which unit has resources
to spare for that?

151
00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:13,820
Don't play dumb, Zettour.

152
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,830
We have the perfect hunting dog for
this job just waiting around in the East.

153
00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:21,830
Them?

154
00:12:22,390 --> 00:12:23,840
Indeed.

155
00:12:27,090 --> 00:12:29,150
The enemy's camp is better
defended than we thought!

156
00:12:29,150 --> 00:12:30,770
None of the units are making progress!

157
00:12:30,770 --> 00:12:34,860
Damn it... Strategic HQ
never gives me a day off!

158
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:36,150
We're pulling back!

159
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:38,270
Major Weiss! Casualty report!

160
00:12:38,270 --> 00:12:39,670
Eight lightly wounded!

161
00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:42,930
The most badly wounded is an idiot
who took a bullet in the behind!

162
00:12:42,930 --> 00:12:44,990
We're capable of continuing
the operation!

163
00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:47,140
We are not!

164
00:12:47,140 --> 00:12:50,760
There's no reason for us to work
so hard for some random side job!

165
00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:55,620
There's a possibility of
enemy reinforcements.

166
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:57,140
We're retreating.

167
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,910
And even if we did break through
their camp and find their HQ,

168
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:03,400
we don't know for sure that
it would really be their HQ.

169
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,640
I don't know if I follow...

170
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,510
It's likely they've set up a fake HQ.

171
00:13:08,510 --> 00:13:10,080
So this is a trap.

172
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,020
It's obviously a trap.

173
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:15,260
Or are we supposed to be bulls
charging at a red piece of cloth?

174
00:13:16,540 --> 00:13:22,620
If we were lucky enough to find the
enemy HQ, would it really be their HQ?

175
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:23,820
Really?

176
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,340
Thus, we will maintain our
anti-surface formation

177
00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:30,060
and continue to hunt for the enemy
HQ, just in the opposite direction.

178
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,480
The opposite direction!

179
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640
It's important to always do your job,

180
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,230
but only when there's
enough in it for you.

181
00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:41,330
Eight o' clock! I found it!

182
00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:43,010
What?

183
00:13:43,950 --> 00:13:45,250
Enemy command!

184
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,040
I'm sure of it!

185
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,900
H-He found it?

186
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:52,330
That moron has made so many bad IDs!

187
00:13:52,330 --> 00:13:54,060
Why does he have to be right now?

188
00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:58,600
Lieutenant Colonel,
it's time for us to be bulls, right?

189
00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:01,480
Fuck it all!

190
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,760
Attention all units!

191
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,570
Any units in the vicinity of
the enemy camp and command HQ

192
00:14:09,570 --> 00:14:10,870
are to evacuate immediately!

193
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:12,320
Hurry!

194
00:14:14,770 --> 00:14:17,070
Damn it all!

195
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,110
Direct hit on enemy command!

196
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:24,660
The Rerugen Combat Team has done it!

197
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,290
We were just beginning to see the enemy
make an organized attempt at escape.

198
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:36,220
We managed to stop them from escaping.

199
00:14:36,670 --> 00:14:40,110
That's the best we can
hope for now, I believe.

200
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:45,610
Everyone, we've done it!

201
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:47,450
Lieutenant General Rudersdorf!

202
00:14:47,450 --> 00:14:47,830
Congratulations!

203
00:14:47,830 --> 00:14:49,620
We've won.

204
00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:51,610
Yes.

205
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,900
Once more, we were able to win.

206
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Oh, Lieutenant Colonel Degurechaff.

207
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,460
Hello, Colonel Calandro.

208
00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:12,740
Marvelously done.

209
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:16,800
After a defeat like that, it's only a matter
of time before a ceasefire is signed.

210
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,800
But I'm told we allowed
an organized retreat in several places.

211
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,680
Well, you can't be
expected to get 'em all.

212
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,790
Either way, the war will continue
until peace is achieved.

213
00:15:29,260 --> 00:15:30,700
Sheesh...

214
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,480
It's good to not let your guard down.

215
00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:38,980
Why don't the two of you take
a picture to celebrate?

216
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:42,460
No, I'll pass.

217
00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:43,960
It's your nation that won the day.

218
00:15:44,450 --> 00:15:45,290
Fare well.

219
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,540
Lieutenant Colonel, make a pose!

220
00:15:51,010 --> 00:15:53,250
Give me a more natural smile!

221
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,180
A little more!

222
00:15:55,180 --> 00:15:55,520
Grin!

223
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,090
Grin...

224
00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:03,190
Does this make up
for my sins at least a little?

225
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:22,320
It won't be long until
you make field marshal.

226
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,170
I appreciate it, but the honor is
something to be shared among us all.

227
00:16:27,170 --> 00:16:30,400
No, it's clear who was
taking the lead here.

228
00:16:30,810 --> 00:16:33,660
My friend, you've done it.

229
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:35,390
Be proud.

230
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,050
Should I say thank you?

231
00:16:40,030 --> 00:16:43,060
To me? To the soldiers?

232
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,820
The soldiers, I suppose.

233
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:50,580
Now, even Moskva is
within reach of our troops.

234
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:55,060
Only in theory.

235
00:16:56,050 --> 00:16:59,050
The lack of supplies is a problem?

236
00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:02,860
We've little hope of bringing
the railways back online.

237
00:17:02,860 --> 00:17:05,960
The ceasefire negotiations
should be our top priority.

238
00:17:06,270 --> 00:17:10,830
I just got the report in
from Colonel Rerugen.

239
00:17:10,830 --> 00:17:13,480
It's only a matter of time
before it's reached.

240
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,920
The Federation is putting
together a peace proposal.

241
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:17,970
Excuse me.

242
00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:19,470
News for you both.

243
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:22,570
High leadership is holding
an emergency meeting.

244
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,520
We still have some forces left,

245
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,730
but this is a disaster.

246
00:17:30,730 --> 00:17:34,190
I can understand why the Politburo
wants to end the war, but...

247
00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:37,870
I'm supposed to give up
on my beautiful fairy?!

248
00:17:43,060 --> 00:17:44,380
Oh?

249
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,170
Oh? Oh? Oh?

250
00:17:51,540 --> 00:17:51,840
Demands Are Overwhelmingly One-Sided

251
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,530
The Empire is drunk on victory?

252
00:17:54,530 --> 00:17:56,590
They're falling for their own propaganda,

253
00:17:56,590 --> 00:17:56,610
Massive Reparations

254
00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:59,230
without knowing what things
are really like for them?

255
00:17:59,550 --> 00:18:04,440
This is why the masses need
to be properly led.

256
00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:08,940
We must fight this war politically.

257
00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:13,940
When you're in love,
everything goes your way.

258
00:18:13,940 --> 00:18:15,940
Empire High Leadership Building

259
00:18:15,950 --> 00:18:20,190
An immediate ceasefire
along existing lines.

260
00:18:20,190 --> 00:18:25,810
Areas currently under our control
will remain so.

261
00:18:25,810 --> 00:18:28,950
A demilitarized zone will exist for
several kilometers along the border.

262
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:31,680
Citizens in presently occupied territories

263
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,940
will be given the opportunity to
vote for independence or join us.

264
00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:36,920
We will accept multinational observers,

265
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,450
and the vote will be held as soon
as the peace agreement is signed.

266
00:18:39,450 --> 00:18:43,470
This is the peace agreement the military
and the Ildoa Kingdom put together?

267
00:18:43,470 --> 00:18:46,250
Yes, that's right.

268
00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:52,990
You're really trying to tell me
this agreement is in our favor?

269
00:18:52,990 --> 00:18:54,220
What?

270
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:55,620
Indeed.

271
00:18:55,620 --> 00:19:00,230
The military believes this is the best
deal we can get and supports it.

272
00:19:00,230 --> 00:19:03,870
I'm sorry, but can you really call
yourself an Imperial officer?

273
00:19:04,170 --> 00:19:06,450
How can we have peace
with these awful conditions?

274
00:19:06,450 --> 00:19:08,010
"Awful conditions"?

275
00:19:08,010 --> 00:19:13,450
Many of our men died to make
the enemy agree to them.

276
00:19:13,450 --> 00:19:17,050
It seems you're unaware of
domestic political opinion.

277
00:19:17,050 --> 00:19:21,410
We can't have a ceasefire or
peace with these conditions.

278
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:24,310
The Empire has suffered
massive financial damage.

279
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:26,730
Without reparations, our budget will...

280
00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:28,400
You'll go bankrupt, I assume.

281
00:19:28,690 --> 00:19:31,500
The government itself may fall.

282
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:35,070
And while I hesitate to say it,

283
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,950
the Imperial family itself
may be in danger.

284
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:41,950
You overstep, sir.

285
00:19:41,950 --> 00:19:45,440
A soldier should fear only
one thing: his enemy!

286
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:49,590
If too much fear of a civil war
puts the whole nation in danger,

287
00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:51,460
then isn't it better to have a civil war?

288
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,030
Lieutenant General Rudersdorf.

289
00:19:55,030 --> 00:19:58,450
This operation was yours,
so I'd like to hear your opinion.

290
00:19:58,450 --> 00:20:02,960
Do you believe the Imperial Army
cannot win any more victories?

291
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:07,980
To be honest, it will be difficult.

292
00:20:07,980 --> 00:20:09,470
"Difficult"?

293
00:20:09,870 --> 00:20:12,650
Indeed. Difficult.

294
00:20:12,650 --> 00:20:14,970
You're not saying impossible, I see.

295
00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:20,730
A soldier's job is to protect the
nation from external threats.

296
00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:25,750
Many soldiers have sacrificed their
lives to bring us to this point.

297
00:20:26,060 --> 00:20:29,750
I don't know if it's worth
sacrificing more of them.

298
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:33,750
But if you're willing to make
unlimited sacrifices...

299
00:20:34,350 --> 00:20:38,260
How could I be so irresponsible
as to say we cannot win?

300
00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:43,500
So you're saying if we're willing to
take the needed measures for victory,

301
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:45,510
we may be able to win?

302
00:20:46,730 --> 00:20:50,510
Then we must have you fight
for the future of our nation.

303
00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:53,730
No matter how many of our men must die?

304
00:20:53,730 --> 00:20:56,330
We can't let our sacrifices
so far be in vain.

305
00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:59,530
So we must be prepared to make more.

306
00:21:02,310 --> 00:21:04,040
Very well.

307
00:21:09,850 --> 00:21:11,030
Stop it.

308
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:13,540
If you insist so much on victory...

309
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:15,040
Don't!

310
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,240
...then I shall bring you victory!

311
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,340
Shut your mouth, Rudersdorf!

312
00:21:23,330 --> 00:21:26,220
No matter what the cost...

313
00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:32,060
Our army shall be victorious!

314
00:23:14,490 --> 00:23:16,320
All right, I'll take the photo!

315
00:23:30,930 --> 00:23:32,100
Huh?

316
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:34,120
Why?

317
00:23:36,260 --> 00:23:40,090
Next Time
Unlucky Draw
