UNIFIED YEAR 1927, MAY 26
IMPERIAL CAPITAL BERUN CENTRAL STATION

3
00:02:14,885 --> 00:02:17,179
THIS PROGRAM IS PURELY FICTIONAL.
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,

4
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:21,012
PLACES, LAWS, AND NAMES MENTIONED
ARE UNRELATED TO ANY REAL-WORLD ENTITIES.

5
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:25,896
Do we really need a sending off?

6
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:29,441
We rarely see you in such a mess.

7
00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:31,860
How could I miss that?

8
00:02:36,948 --> 00:02:40,202
(Episode 5: The Worst Luck)
You drew the worst luck, didn't you?

9
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:41,953
What can I do?

10
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:45,457
I was the one
who defied the Supreme Command.

11
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:48,933
I'm afraid
the national finances will collapse.

12
00:02:49,211 --> 00:02:52,061
Even the peace of the Imperial House
could be threatened.

13
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:55,300
I was prepared to be relieved of my post
as Deputy Chief of Operations.

14
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:59,267
It turned out it was only a transfer.
That's rather disappointing.

15
00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:01,932
On the other hand, I wasn't transferred.

16
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:06,687
Even though we defied
the higher-ups together.

17
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:08,522
It's utterly absurd.

18
00:03:08,772 --> 00:03:10,649
We are soldiers.

19
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:13,151
We have to obey the will of the state.

20
00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:15,863
In terms of operational understanding

21
00:03:15,946 --> 00:03:17,656
and political maneuvering,

22
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:23,537
you can't be replaced
in the General Staff.

23
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:27,874
Now I have no one to complain to.

24
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:30,336
Indeed.

25
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:33,296
Parting with you like this...

26
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:35,882
It's about time.

27
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:41,596
I'll leave the East to you.

28
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:45,142
You and I will achieve victory together.

29
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:46,477
Yeah.

30
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,644
We will.

31
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:49,688
May you have good luck in battle

32
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:52,441
and return as a triumphant general.

33
00:03:52,691 --> 00:03:55,611
Prepare fine wine and cigars.

34
00:03:55,694 --> 00:03:57,404
I'll drink you into bankruptcy.

35
00:04:07,998 --> 00:04:10,250
We will achieve victory together, huh?

36
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:16,256
The Empire will be shaken
to its foundations if it fails even once.

37
00:04:17,174 --> 00:04:21,303
However, the Federation can recover
even after repeated defeats.

38
00:04:26,183 --> 00:04:28,769
It's so unfair.

39
00:04:33,482 --> 00:04:38,487
Officers are supposed
to go to their posts alone when ordered,

40
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:41,364
but my influence in the East
will be limited.

41
00:04:41,865 --> 00:04:44,367
So, essentially,
I don't have any usable pieces.

42
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:49,206
No, there's still one.

43
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:51,898
EASTERN FRONT
IMPERIAL EASTERN ARMY ADVANCE BASE

44
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:56,338
Why?

45
00:04:56,421 --> 00:05:00,008
Why was I summoned to the Eastern Army?

46
00:05:00,091 --> 00:05:02,177
Could it be related to the peace talks?

47
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:05,310
If that's the case,
why hasn't a ceasefire order been issued?

48
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:10,769
Even the military observer from Yirudoya said
that a ceasefire is just a matter of time.

49
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:14,064
Well, regardless,

50
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:17,108
this war can't possibly continue.

51
00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:21,863
Anyone capable of rational judgment
would understand that.

52
00:05:22,447 --> 00:05:25,158
Surely the higher-ups
aren't that stupid...

53
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:26,701
Huh?

54
00:05:28,537 --> 00:05:29,871
It's been a while.

55
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:32,999
Lieutenant Colonel Degurechaff.

56
00:05:39,798 --> 00:05:41,258
S-Sir!

57
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:43,593
What are you doing here?

58
00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:47,222
I've been exiled to the frontier
by the General Staff.

59
00:05:47,305 --> 00:05:49,140
I'll be in your care for a while.

60
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:51,685
E-Exiled?

61
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:54,521
Our faction's leader
has fallen from power?

62
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:57,524
Huh? What's wrong?

63
00:05:57,607 --> 00:05:59,026
S-Sorry.

64
00:05:59,109 --> 00:06:00,859
I'm a bit dizzy from lack of sleep.

65
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:02,821
This is bad.

66
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:05,824
At this rate, my career plans...

67
00:06:05,907 --> 00:06:09,745
No one will even look at
my recommendation letter from him.

68
00:06:09,828 --> 00:06:10,704
No, wait.

69
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:11,997
If the peace talks worked out,

70
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,457
this would still be acceptable.

71
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:17,875
So...
- To be honest, the peace talks have fallen through.

72
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:21,965
The Supreme Command
demanded further military gains

73
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:24,885
in order to secure better terms.

74
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:28,513
I was transferred here for opposing it.

75
00:06:28,805 --> 00:06:31,809
W-What did you say?

76
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:33,602
Not only did the peace talks fall through,

77
00:06:33,685 --> 00:06:35,229
but you became a victim of that?

78
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:36,912
This is the worst case scenario.

79
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:37,856
Hey.

80
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:38,982
Hey.

81
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:39,941
Are you okay?

82
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,693
S-Sorry.

83
00:06:41,776 --> 00:06:44,029
I felt dizzy from the shock.

84
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:46,657
That won't do.

85
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:50,619
From now on,
you'll have to work even harder.

86
00:06:50,702 --> 00:06:52,454
I-In a situation like this,

87
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,289
he's still going to exploit me?

88
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:57,709
Now, based on political considerations,

89
00:06:57,792 --> 00:07:02,172
I will be in charge of a large-scale
offensive operation in the East.

90
00:07:03,131 --> 00:07:05,216
Andromeda Operation.

91
00:07:06,051 --> 00:07:09,679
The main objective is to secure
more favorable peace terms.

92
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:14,059
And a part of this is to break
the enemy's will to continue fighting.

93
00:07:14,851 --> 00:07:19,814
The specific plan is to seize
the Federation's resource-producing regions.

94
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:21,692
In this operation,

95
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:24,778
the Eastern Army will be split into Army Group A,
responsible for the main offensive,

96
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:28,114
and Army Group B,
responsible for maintaining the front line.

97
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:31,993
Army Group A will attack,
and Army Group B will defend.

98
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:34,996
If this operation succeeds,

99
00:07:35,497 --> 00:07:38,000
our forces will be able to
sustain combat capability,

100
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:39,733
while the enemy will be weakened.

101
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,004
We can then expect them
to make concessions in peace talks.

102
00:07:43,505 --> 00:07:49,719
That's why General Zettour is going to Army Group B
to inspect and provide guidance?

103
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:52,264
In reality, it's just exile.

104
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:57,060
The Supreme Command
didn't want to hear unpleasant truths.

105
00:07:57,852 --> 00:08:00,439
I understand the operation.

106
00:08:00,522 --> 00:08:03,608
But the negotiations with Yirudoya...

107
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:08,446
I heard they've been put on hold.

108
00:08:10,073 --> 00:08:13,159
If the higher-ups want us to win,
we have to win.

109
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:15,495
And we have no other options.

110
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:18,665
I'll be frank.

111
00:08:18,748 --> 00:08:22,002
What do you think
about Andromeda Operation?

112
00:08:23,086 --> 00:08:25,339
To be honest,

113
00:08:25,422 --> 00:08:27,424
in one word, reckless.

114
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:29,801
Go on.

115
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:34,640
The defensive line Army Group B
has to hold is already too wide.

116
00:08:34,723 --> 00:08:36,516
The forces are overstretched.

117
00:08:36,975 --> 00:08:40,020
If Army Group A advances
under these conditions,

118
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:43,231
the flanks that need to be defended
will be stretched even further.

119
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:44,107
In that case,

120
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,735
Army Group B will be like
a rubber band stretched to its limit.

121
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:48,570
Not to mention a full-on attack,

122
00:08:48,653 --> 00:08:50,989
even a pinprick could cause it to snap.

123
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:53,075
Furthermore,

124
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:55,577
the name of this operation
is annoying enough.

125
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:57,579
The name?

126
00:08:58,329 --> 00:09:03,251
The name means
"the distant galaxy of stars".

127
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:04,962
While I can appreciate the romanticism,

128
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:06,995
it's probably an overly ambitious goal.

129
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:10,175
Well said.

130
00:09:10,258 --> 00:09:14,596
The one who named it seems rough,
but is surprisingly sensitive.

131
00:09:15,055 --> 00:09:16,014
Yes.

132
00:09:17,098 --> 00:09:20,143
Your objections are reasonable.

133
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:23,981
But unfortunately,
the plan won't be changed.

134
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:27,400
You will formulate a defense plan
for Army Group B.

135
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:29,778
A plan?

136
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:32,906
What do we need
in order to defend properly?

137
00:09:33,865 --> 00:09:35,283
We need the initiative.

138
00:09:35,366 --> 00:09:38,453
Without the initiative,
the defense is impossible.

139
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:40,539
That's a truth of war.

140
00:09:40,622 --> 00:09:42,916
The question is the specific means.

141
00:09:43,124 --> 00:09:46,127
As this is the choice of the weaker side,

142
00:09:46,711 --> 00:09:48,505
we'll wait for the right moment
to counterattack precisely.

143
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,757
Lure the enemy with bait,

144
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,427
and once they fall into the trap,
we annihilate them in one fell swoop.

145
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:55,137
That's easy to say.

146
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:55,804
Right.

147
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:58,932
We must prepare bait
tempting enough to lure the enemy.

148
00:09:59,015 --> 00:10:04,604
And the bait must have the tenacity to hold on
until they've swallowed the hook completely.

149
00:10:05,021 --> 00:10:07,357
No need to worry about that.

150
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,401
I still have one card up my sleeve.

151
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:13,030
I don't know who it is,

152
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:14,823
but I feel sorry for them.

153
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:20,620
Next, we also need hunters
who can kill them instantly when they take the bait.

154
00:10:20,912 --> 00:10:21,913
Hmm.

155
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:25,125
The strategic reserve forces
available in the East

156
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:28,711
are the armored divisions,
the core strength of Army Group B?

157
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:31,381
But even the main divisions
can't be easily deployed.

158
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:34,134
In that case,
what we can mobilize immediately

159
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:36,553
is probably only your Kampfgruppe...

160
00:10:37,762 --> 00:10:39,181
Ah, don't worry.

161
00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:42,475
I may be a harsh superior,
but I wouldn't ask that much of you.

162
00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:44,519
Thank you for your consideration.

163
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:47,147
It's fine, no need for formalities.

164
00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:51,568
Because I still need you as bait.

165
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:56,573
Making you bait and then the hunter?
Even I think that's too much.

166
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:57,532
Huh?

167
00:10:58,158 --> 00:10:59,075
Um...

168
00:10:59,534 --> 00:11:01,453
Are you saying I am

169
00:11:01,536 --> 00:11:02,662
the bait?

170
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:04,456
This is your proposal.

171
00:11:04,539 --> 00:11:07,333
It's only natural that you carry it out.

172
00:11:08,209 --> 00:11:10,962
With the unit
that bombed their capital as bait,

173
00:11:11,045 --> 00:11:13,923
plenty of enemies will fall for it.

174
00:11:19,804 --> 00:11:22,891
However, even if we can use
the core armored divisions,

175
00:11:22,974 --> 00:11:26,394
we still don't have enough strength.

176
00:11:26,477 --> 00:11:28,105
You are absolutely right.

177
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:29,815
I'm ashamed to say,

178
00:11:29,898 --> 00:11:33,318
the plan I conceived seems to have
almost no chance of success.

179
00:11:33,401 --> 00:11:35,570
I will devise another plan immediately.

180
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:36,571
Excuse me.

181
00:11:37,071 --> 00:11:39,991
Use one of your squadrons.

182
00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:43,119
What?

183
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:45,163
Didn't you hear me?

184
00:11:45,246 --> 00:11:47,499
I'm borrowing one of your mage squadrons.

185
00:11:47,582 --> 00:11:49,209
That will be enough.

186
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:51,294
Y-You mean to split up our forces?

187
00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:52,045
Exactly.

188
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:53,922
W-With all due respect,

189
00:11:54,005 --> 00:11:56,675
my unit is not an ordinary squadron.

190
00:11:56,758 --> 00:12:00,804
Moreover, in a defensive battle,
mage units are crucial.

191
00:12:00,887 --> 00:12:03,140
It's like cutting off my own limbs...

192
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:04,099
It's nothing.

193
00:12:04,182 --> 00:12:06,082
It's just like cutting off one finger.

194
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:10,188
A-Are you determined
to take from my squadron?

195
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,025
If we don't, how are we supposed
to rescue you when you're surrounded?

196
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:24,619
If you can accept the platoon
led by the young Lieutenant Glanz.

197
00:12:25,453 --> 00:12:26,621
I'll be most grateful.

198
00:12:26,704 --> 00:12:28,373
Now, for this fishing spot.

199
00:12:29,207 --> 00:12:30,500
Look.

200
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:31,584
Right here.

201
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:34,587
Sordim 528 Position?

202
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:38,633
That was originally
a Federation vehicle repair depot.

203
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:42,470
It was occupied by the Imperial Army
during the previous Operation Iron Hammer,

204
00:12:42,553 --> 00:12:45,848
but since the forces were withdrawn,
it's currently in a semi-abandoned state.

205
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:48,310
It's located along the railway line,

206
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:50,478
which makes it ideal as a supply base.

207
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:54,482
If the enemy wants to retake a base,
it will surely be this one.

208
00:12:55,024 --> 00:12:58,820
Your Kampfgruppe must meet
the enemy's attack head-on.

209
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:01,907
Hold out until our allies
come to relieve you.

210
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:03,325
Wait a moment.

211
00:13:03,408 --> 00:13:06,036
Could I decide on my own
depending on the situation to retreat...

212
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:07,203
Denied.

213
00:13:08,037 --> 00:13:09,539
Hold out at any cost.

214
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,507
UNITED KINGDOM FORCES, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
It's been a while.

215
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:21,301
UNITED KINGDOM FORCES, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
Uncle.

216
00:13:21,384 --> 00:13:22,844
COLONEL SIR ISAAC DUSTIN DRAKE
William.

217
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:24,804
COLONEL SIR ISAAC DUSTIN DRAKE
You still have that gloomy look.

218
00:13:25,096 --> 00:13:25,931
Yes.

219
00:13:26,014 --> 00:13:29,434
Because the troublemaker in my unit
has made a friend.

220
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:35,898
If Rear Admiral Harbergram takes them in,
I'll be very grateful.

221
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,070
This is a small gift.

222
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:43,156
I smuggled it in after negotiating
with Federation customs officials.

223
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:44,866
It's whiskey from our country.

224
00:13:45,366 --> 00:13:47,035
Well...

225
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:52,040
Burn it after reading.

226
00:13:52,123 --> 00:13:54,375
This is the latest intelligence
from ULTRA.

227
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:56,002
ULTRA.

228
00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:59,839
The spy who infiltrated
the heart of the Empire?

229
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,050
Can we trust this guy?

230
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,719
You've heard about
the Empire's movements, right?

231
00:14:04,802 --> 00:14:05,720
Yes.

232
00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:08,098
The operation is codenamed Andromeda.

233
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:09,891
And they've instructed us
to respond accordingly.

234
00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:11,977
According to ULTRA's intelligence,

235
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:15,760
there seems to be a conflict
between the Imperial Army and the government.

236
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:18,233
That's good to hear.

237
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:20,401
But even if we know that...

238
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:22,612
This conflict

239
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:26,845
has caused a general from the General Staff
to be transferred to the Eastern Front.

240
00:14:28,451 --> 00:14:31,371
Lieutenant General Hans von Zettour.

241
00:14:31,454 --> 00:14:32,872
He's troublesome.

242
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:33,998
Troublesome?

243
00:14:34,457 --> 00:14:35,875
You mean he's very capable?

244
00:14:35,958 --> 00:14:38,586
Yes, and terrifyingly so.

245
00:14:38,669 --> 00:14:41,214
If you ever see him on the battlefield,

246
00:14:42,006 --> 00:14:43,216
kill him.

247
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:44,649
Eliminate him at all costs.

248
00:14:47,929 --> 00:14:53,935
(Saga of Tanya the Evil 2)

249
00:14:54,977 --> 00:15:01,025
I thought the Federation's air power had been
wiped out in Operation Iron Hammer,

250
00:15:01,484 --> 00:15:04,904
but with weapon support of the Unified States,
it has already been rebuilt.

251
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,283
Has the premise of Andromeda Operation
already collapsed?

252
00:15:09,867 --> 00:15:12,537
He will probably be furious.

253
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,125
What's going on?

254
00:15:17,208 --> 00:15:19,752
Why haven't we reached an agreement
with the Foreign Ministry yet?

255
00:15:20,169 --> 00:15:22,422
B-Because the previous negotiations
with the administrative departments

256
00:15:22,505 --> 00:15:25,342
were always unofficially mediated
by General Zettour.

257
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:26,843
But now...

258
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:31,931
What about those ships
of unknown nationality?

259
00:15:32,014 --> 00:15:35,769
A-According to the Northern Fleet,
their numbers are still increasing.

260
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:36,770
Darn it.

261
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:40,482
Can't we just launch
an indiscriminate attack with submarines?

262
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:42,567
According to legal experts,

263
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:45,820
doing so would pose a high risk
of violating international law.

264
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:48,062
You're too slow with your reports!

265
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,170
This is Lieutenant Colonel Uga.

266
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,753
IMPERIAL ARMY GENERAL STAFF, ARMY RAILWAY DEPARTMENT
LIEUTENANT COLONEL MAXIMILIAN JOHANN VON UGA

267
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,048
The United Kingdom has launched
another nighttime bombing on western industrial areas.

268
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,927
We are currently compiling
the battle damage report.

269
00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:12,097
But our forces are insufficient
to stop all enemy's aircraft.

270
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:14,933
It is already affecting
production efficiency.

271
00:16:15,016 --> 00:16:16,393
There are already problems
with the supply for Andromeda.

272
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:18,478
Are you dense?

273
00:16:20,771 --> 00:16:23,900
You're just giving me boring reports.

274
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,194
Tell me a joke.

275
00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:29,947
My apologies.

276
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:34,244
I-Is this true?

277
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:36,454
Yes, Comrade Loriya.

278
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:40,541
It is said that the reactionary known as
the "Devil of the Rhine" has occupied that position.

279
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,920
How pathetic.

280
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:47,590
Am I being tempted?

281
00:16:47,882 --> 00:16:49,759
That's right, they're looking down on us.

282
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:52,554
Notify the military
and let them handle it.

283
00:16:52,637 --> 00:16:53,721
Notify?

284
00:16:53,804 --> 00:16:55,598
Let them handle it?

285
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:58,268
Don't be stupid!

286
00:16:58,351 --> 00:16:59,977
We will capture them alive by ourselves.

287
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:01,854
You mean capture alive?

288
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:04,941
If they die in battle,
they'll just become heroes.

289
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:08,027
We must bring them to justice
in a public trial,

290
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:10,029
and make them suffer a lot,

291
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:11,989
no matter what...

292
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:19,247
EASTERN FRONT, SORDIM 528 POSITION

293
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:27,714
Being surrounded was expected,

294
00:17:27,797 --> 00:17:30,097
but I didn't expect
there are so many of them.

295
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:33,678
Is this payback for the chaos
we caused in Moscow?

296
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:34,471
Darn.

297
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:36,430
I'm so envious of Lieutenant Glanz.

298
00:17:36,764 --> 00:17:40,059
I hope he won't mess up
while serving under the general.

299
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:41,519
Who knows?

300
00:17:41,602 --> 00:17:43,897
Getting beheaded might be
the least of his worries.

301
00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:46,482
T-There's something worse than that?

302
00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:51,779
The rescue force will really come, right?

303
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:54,574
EASTERN FRONT, ADVANCE BASE OPERATIONS ROOM
Emergency communication from Kampfgruppe Rerugen.

304
00:17:54,865 --> 00:17:59,161
Sordim 528 Position has been surrounded
by numerous Federation forces.

305
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:00,330
What are you saying?

306
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:03,291
They've deviated from
the expected enemy advance route.

307
00:18:03,374 --> 00:18:08,224
There should still be room to retreat.
- What on earth are the sentries and surveillance doing?

308
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:11,424
There are too many of them.

309
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:13,676
They just keep coming.
- They're charging straight at us.

310
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:16,304
The first line of defense
is about to be breached.

311
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:18,431
The line is being broken.

312
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:20,391
That's too fast! Tell them to hold on.

313
00:18:20,474 --> 00:18:21,924
Buy as much time as possible.

314
00:18:22,226 --> 00:18:23,228
This is bad.

315
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,855
They're advancing into the city too fast.

316
00:18:26,647 --> 00:18:28,149
What's the status of each unit?

317
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:30,901
The armored units have withdrawn
and completed concealment.

318
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:32,529
No damage so far.

319
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:34,155
Same for the artillery.

320
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:37,533
Except for the platoon sent to support the infantry,
all other forces are intact.

321
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:41,537
Oh, I didn't expect
to hear that from you guys.

322
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:42,664
Lieutenant Colonel.

323
00:18:42,747 --> 00:18:44,540
Lieutenant Tospan
wants to give a suggestion.

324
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:47,085
What? Lieutenant Tospan?

325
00:18:47,168 --> 00:18:50,421
He's not trying to
pull some stunt again, is he?

326
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,382
This is Lieutenant Colonel Degurechaff.

327
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:53,049
Yes.

328
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:56,177
We want you to give us an order,
Lieutenant Colonel.

329
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:58,471
I believe I've already given the order.

330
00:18:58,929 --> 00:18:59,806
Yes.

331
00:18:59,889 --> 00:19:02,016
However, when encountering
an enemy force of this scale,

332
00:19:02,099 --> 00:19:05,645
according to military tactical training,
it is generally required for troops to "withdraw".

333
00:19:05,728 --> 00:19:10,733
Therefore, we hope that you can issue the order
of "holding out at any cost" as the unit commander.

334
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:13,486
Good...

335
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:15,530
I like you, Lieutenant.

336
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:17,991
I'll send someone with the written order
to hold out at any cost.

337
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:19,909
Yes. Roger.

338
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:24,288
What's wrong, Lieutenant Tospan?

339
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:27,000
It's enemy's heavy artillery.

340
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:30,252
Those guys are shelling indiscriminately.

341
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:32,964
Tch, how despicable.

342
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:35,425
Are they using their infantry
as disposable pawns?

343
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:36,458
Lieutenant Colonel.

344
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,678
Let us conduct counter-battery fire.

345
00:19:38,761 --> 00:19:40,805
Denied. Let the mage units handle it.

346
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:44,267
Major Weiß, shoot down the enemy's shells.

347
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:46,644
Lieutenant Colonel, are you serious?

348
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:51,107
You should have been trained for this
when the battalion was formed.

349
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,693
The density of military forces
is inadequate.

350
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:55,612
Two squadrons alone can't handle it all.

351
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:57,572
Major Weiß.

352
00:19:57,655 --> 00:20:00,408
As a senior officer, this is unacceptable.

353
00:20:00,491 --> 00:20:02,618
Do you want to be re-educated?

354
00:20:07,164 --> 00:20:08,207
No...

355
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:09,375
I take it back.

356
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:10,585
Second and Third Squadrons,

357
00:20:10,668 --> 00:20:13,254
shoot down the shells
and strike the enemy's artillery.

358
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:14,672
Follow me!

359
00:20:15,005 --> 00:20:17,466
FEDERATION ARMY
ENCIRCLEMENT FORCE HEADQUARTERS

360
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:23,389
Could you take the vanguard?

361
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:30,521
The Federation has mage units?

362
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:33,357
Is it that volunteer unit
we fought at Tiegenhoff?

363
00:20:33,607 --> 00:20:34,317
Don't falter.

364
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,318
Prepare penetration formulas.

365
00:20:44,076 --> 00:20:45,411
02, what's your status?

366
00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:47,038
02, what's your status?

367
00:20:47,121 --> 00:20:48,289
What are you doing?

368
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:09,894
Weiß, what's wrong?

369
00:21:09,977 --> 00:21:11,103
Weiß?

370
00:22:43,779 --> 00:22:45,406
Excuse me.

371
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:50,327
Alas...

372
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:52,079
Lieutenant Colonel Uga?

373
00:22:52,872 --> 00:22:54,790
Ah, Colonel Rerugen.

374
00:22:55,416 --> 00:22:58,294
It's been a long time
since we met like this.

375
00:22:58,377 --> 00:22:59,795
Have you lost weight?

376
00:23:00,004 --> 00:23:00,838
Yes.

377
00:23:00,921 --> 00:23:02,798
You have too, Colonel.

378
00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:05,968
We've both been saddled
with a lot of tough jobs.

379
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:07,601
Let's go grab a drink sometime.

380
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:09,931
Unfortunately, I still have work...

381
00:23:10,014 --> 00:23:12,182
Are you dense?

382
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:15,394
Colonel Rerugen.

383
00:23:21,525 --> 00:23:22,985
Lieutenant Colonel Uga.

384
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:27,490
I never thought
you'd be this kind of person.

385
00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:31,953
Especially since you have a wife and child,
and heavy responsibilities.

386
00:23:32,036 --> 00:23:34,955
To suggest that in a place like this...

387
00:23:35,998 --> 00:23:40,002
