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.
