Oskar von Reuenthal has been put in command of the occupation of the former alliance territories to sort out the problems Lennenkampf created; this makes him effectively the second most powerful man in the empire.  However a plot is in work to frame him as a traitor. Reuenthal had been shagging a lowly member of the ex-aristocracy(who had tried to kill him) in a sort of "hate-fuck for not turning you in" arrangement, which isn't the kind of thing a loyal admiral of the new regime is supposed to be doing.

Reinhard visits alliance territory for a memorial for the war dead but is nearly killed by an Imperial trooper who blames him for the nuking of Westerland in the civil war.  This security fuckup, combined with some miscommunications, the previously mentioned affair incident, and too much arrogant pride, causes Reuenthal to decide "fuck it, I shouldn't have to apologize, this is Oberstein's fault" and he goes traitor for reals.  

Reinhard, returning to his temporary capital on Fezzan, is overwhelmed by the events.  Yang is dead, his troopers think he's a murderous tyrant, and one of his few friends is on the verge of going renegade over a misunderstanding.  Distraught, he spends the night with fraulein Mariendorf.
