Ep. 19: Hermann besucht Ovlesser, um die Adligen gegen Reinhard zu mobilisieren, während Kircheis Lüneburg untersucht und eine Beförderungsempfehlung erhält.

19

Hermann von Lüneburg pays a visit with his wife Elisabeth to High Admiral Ovlesser, the commander of the Imperial Panzergrenadiers, ostensibly as a formality marking his promotion to Rear Admiral but is in fact trying to lobby for support against Reinhard von Müsel from the high nobles through Ovlesser. Ovlesser, who dislikes Lüneburg as much as Reinhard, rebuffs his overtures. Meanwhile, Siegfried Kircheis tells Reinhard about the results of his investigation of Lüneburg's background. A few days later, they manage to meet up with Annerose von Grünewald and Reinhard reveals to Annerose about how Kircheis was not promoted. Before Annerose could do anything about that issue however, Richard von Grimmelshausen has already recommended Kircheis to be promoted. When Kircheis visits Grimmelshausen to thank him for his recommendation, the latter demonstrates a level of insight which runs contrary to his usual appearance as a senile old man.
