Summary
The war raged on, with the propaganda offensives of both sides clashing as fiercely as the actual combat operations. A long range reconnaissance team operating behind enemy lines received word from headquarters: their Prapor was set to be awarded the honorary title of "Hero of the Union," and the team could choose either to continue fighting or to withdraw to the rear. Their choice was a foregone conclusion; having successfully defended their homeland, they were now determined to achieve the reunification of their country.

[Stella can be seen on a TV set]
Stella The multi-national forces were invincible, while the Eastern bloc crumbled under repeated heavy blows.
Stella Meanwhile, residents of the central territory took to the streets to welcome our army.
Stella But the good news we have to share today comes from the boundless space above us.
Stella This is real footage of an F-15 fighter jet launching an ASAT anti-satellite missile.
Stella This unassuming little missile can hit a high-speed target 550 kilometers above the ground with an accuracy comparable to shooting a fly flying through space.
Stella To ensure cosmic dominance, the Union has deployed a wide variety of space combat platforms; however, the multi-national force has 1,000 fighter jets capable of launching ASAT missiles.
Stella These powerful anti-satellite vehicles are capable of completely eliminating the enemy's space advantage.
Erika Shameless political propaganda. I don't believe such a small missile could shoot down a satellite, satellites are launched into space by rockets that are huge.
Felice Technically it's possible, but space warfare is a war of attrition anyway, so losing one or two from their missiles isn't a big deal.
Sylvia However, they say that 1,000 fighter jets are capable of launching this type of missile...
Prapor There are 1,000 aircraft, but not all of them are equipped with missiles, and these aircraft also have other missions.
Stella On the Livonia front, Amphibious Landing Operation "North Paladin” continued to proceed smoothly.
Stella The dagger piercing the Union weak underbelly is penetrating deeper and deeper, causing the enemy to bleed profusely.
Stella The multinational forces have gained complete air and sea control over Livonia.
Stella The enemy fleet was blockaded in a small harbor area riddled with mines and was constantly subjected to air strikes by multinational forces.
Stella On the central front, which is of utmost concern to the audience…
Erika They're here! They're going to talk about our division!
Stella …••…The multi-national forces, with their state-of-the-art precision-guided weapons, continue to deliver devastating blows to the enemy.
Stella Apache attack helicopters can launch Hellfire anti-tank missiles from a distance of 5 kilometers to accurately destroy enemy targets.
Stella At this distance, enemy tanks could neither see nor retaliate.
Stella The A-10 attack aircraft can even launch Maverick missiles from greater distances, capable of destroying a tank company in a single attack
Stella After nightfall, the multinational forces used high-definition night vision goggles to continuously attack the enemy, while the coalition forces became blind and deaf.
[the scene changes to a destroy house where the 501st can be seen whatching a tv (now in their base skin)]
Erika What a load of bull! The A-10 is simply a defeated foe of ours, and as for the Apache, it's not even worthy of our attention.
Erika This imperialist cheerleader is truly despicable.
Sylvia You don't know her?
Erika Why did I need to get to know her?
Sylvia You didn't watch Schmalkalden's TV programs, did you? She was West Germany's most famous military television presenter.
Sylvia The army group headquarters also issued a special order to capture her alive if possible.
Erika Is it really necessary to give her so much credit? Capturing her alive?
Sylvia I understand. Maybe your hometown doesn't have a signal.
Erika What's wrong with not being able to receive programs full of lies?
Sylvia However, with these images as evidence, she should be telling the truth...
Prapor The truth is not necessarily the facts. Have you noticed that the images of them destroying our tanks all show houses in the Schmalkalden style?
Prapor On the front lines of Operation Solar Flare, there are several armored divisions.
Erika That means... the enemy's army has been defeated by us, so they can only rely on air strikes to stop us!
Hannah Moreover, when we first crossed the border, civilians in all the towns were living normal lives, but in the places we've arrived in the last few days, the people have all been evacuated.
Hannah It seems that the multinational forces have realized that the front line will continue to advance westward, and the fighting may spread to this area.
Julius Overall, Operation Solar Flare achieved its objectives. The front lines are advancing into the territory of the side that initiated the war.
Felice Alright, it's almost time. Tune in to our radio show, though it's not as exciting as Miss Stella's program.
Erika Oh right, we also need to receive instructions for the next steps!
Radio •••Thanks to the valiant fighting of the officers and soldiers on the front lines of the joint armed forces, we have achieved victories on all fronts…
Erika How are things going on the various fronts? It's driving me crazy!
Julius Comrade Hannah, please adjust it again. The signal is too weak, and we might miss important information.
Radio The Third Front faced an enemy force that had amassed its largest troop strength and the most advanced weaponry. It was here that our army achieved victory in a high-tech contest.
Radio Under the electronic warfare offensive of the joint armed forces' technical departments, our army successfully controlled and captured the most advanced unmanned armed helicopters of the Entente countries.
Radio This helicopter, codenamed "Comanche," can engage in combat either remotely controlled or autonomously.
Radio Militarists eagerly anticipated filling the front lines with this cold-blooded fighting machine, replacing the living, breathing officers and soldiers who were easily weary of the war of aggression…
Erika Wait, is there some mistake?
Hannah What's wrong?
Erika The Comanche was clearly captured by our long-range reconnaissance company, so how did it become the achievement of the technical reconnaissance company?!
Erika This must be a mistake made by the battalion headquarters when they reported it, and they've erased all our credit!
Julius I don't think this is the battalion headquarters' fault.
Julius The mistake was that when we captured the Comanche, someone who shouldn't have been there also joined the battle, so the truth couldn't be made public.
Erika A person who shouldn't exist... are you referring to Prapor Comrade?
Prapor Comrade Julis is referring to our dear Agent , Comrade Alloy.
Felice Oh dear, I've prevented everyone from receiving rewards and becoming famous, I'm truly sorry.
Erika To be honest, we've been calling her "Alloy" so much that we don't even know what the agent’s real name is.
Sylvia It's normal for Agent "Alloy" to remain anonymous, as revealing his real name could very well lead to the failure of his infiltration.
Felice My name is Felice.
Sylvia It must be an alias, right? Like "Clara Hessen ".
Felice This is my real name, given to me by my mother, the fact that Alloy's real name was Felice is known only to everyone present and to Secretary Wolf
Erika Huh? You just told us that? We don’t need any counter-interrogation training?
Felice After all, with the battle situation turning in our favor, the chances of you being captured have been greatly reduced.
Julius What's the deal with "Clara Hessen " that Sylvia mentioned earlier?
Sylvia Huh? This...
Felice Oh dear, this is a top secret that only Ms. Sylvia and I have the right to know. It's a term of endearment full of intimacy and trust.
Radio …The following is a notification from the Supreme Command regarding major domestic political issues.
Erika Major domestic political issues? Besides war, what other major issues are there now?
Sylvia I'd rather hear more news that has nothing to do with war.
Radio The Supreme Command sends a message of "Aurora ":
Erika “Aurora”?
Radio Congratulations on your outstanding achievements in establishing "Aurora"! The Supreme Command is reviewing the report to award you the title of "Hero of the Union".
Prapor …..
Radio The Supreme Command believes that, given the development of the war situation and changes in the domestic and international circumstances, a more fair and objective judgment should be made regarding the significance and impact of "Aurora’s" actions in this serious national political event, so as to withstand the test of history and the scrutiny of the people.
Hannah Strange, this is clearly not a password, yet I can't understand a single word of it.
Radio Considering that "Aurora" current work location is extremely detrimental to his health, the relevant departments do not insist that "Aurora" continue working at his current location. However, if "Aurora" believes he still has sufficient strength, then the relevant departments expect him to continue to achieve even greater accomplishments in his original position. April 7, 1994.
Erika Is that all?
Felice ...So that's how it is.
Erika What exactly is it like?
Felice The General Administration always says things like "It's up to you to decide," but it's actually just a way of flattering you and making you take the initiative to express your determination and shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Felice So, should we demonstrate high moral character or not? A Prapor…•••Or perhaps Comrade "Aurora"?
Sylvia Comrade "Aurora"? Captain , is there some secret mission that you and Prapor haven't told us?
Julius This time, I truly knew nothing. Only Prapor himself understood the meaning of this code name and this notification.
Prapor It's not as dramatic as everyone imagines; it just means I'm allowed to retreat and rejoin the main force.
Prapor Then came the recognition ceremony, the presentation of his achievements, and a speech with a red flower on his head at the conference.
Erika real?!
Prapor Alternatively, I could continue fighting alongside everyone, penetrating deeper into enemy territory to achieve even greater victories.
Erika Sigh... Could that Prapor stay? Without him, Erika feels a bit insecure...
Sylvia That depends on... Prapor's own wishes, right?
Hannah Prapor definitely wanted to stay.
Felice That's not necessarily true. After going through so many... tough times, it might be nice to just relax and be a mindless ,risk-free "pretty face" instead.
Prapor …•I think it would be easier for me to stay and fight alongside my comrades, and the risks would be smaller.
Erika Yes, of course!
Hannah After all, we are all elite soldiers carefully selected.
Sylvia As long as Prapor is still willing...
Julius I am very grateful for the trust of Prapor comrade—comrades, let's prepare to board the vehicle.
[They leave the room. leaving Prapor and Felice in the room]
Felice How do you feel after being exonerated? Do you feel relieved, or like the sun has finally broken through the clouds?
Prapor …..
Felice What a clever excuse: "In view of the development of the war situation and the changes in the domestic and international situation"
Felice In other words, they knew from the beginning that Prapor was innocent.
Felice They knew better than anyone else about Prapor's loyalty was to the motherland, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent you deep behind enemy lines.
Felice Fortunately, as the saying goes, "a strong wind reveals the strength of the grass," and Prapor made another great contribution, giving them a way out.
Prapor Actually, I didn't think too much about it then, and it's the same this time.
Felice Oh dear, so that means Prapor is a born hero, saving the country and the people time and time again with his unwavering courage?
Prapor Perhaps it was my thoughtless actions that triggered the unrest and war?
Felice You can't say that only those who are hesitant and submissive are peace lovers.
