Well, actually Yang has to protect Alliance, so he has to defeat Reinhard by
all means. Why did he fight with Empire for so long, really just for his
salary? Besides, in the road of fighting with Empire, many Alliance soldies
are dead, and so as Empire's. The nameless soldiers devote their lives to
fight against Reinhard, so I think it's Yang's mistake to not to kill
Reinhard, for all lives that lost in the war against Empire goes in vain.
If Yang doesn't want to defeat Reinhard, why not surrend to him immediately
after Reinhard get past Phezzan? It can save so many lives and not to let
the soldiers died meaninglessly.
Sun Tzu said that commanders can neglect the ruler's order once in war since
no one can understand the real situation of war more than the commander.
Yang as a history espert should know it. As if he had killed Reinhard,
Reuter, Obestine or other ambitious man would seize the emperor's seat, and
no one will put notice on Alliance anymore. I suppose if Reinhard is dead
at that time, Reuter and Mittermeyer may shoot each other above Heinessen!
Not to kill Reinhard is Yang's mistake, his only mistake...

Yang
