Bab 296: Sinking the Troopships

Inside the bridge of one of the Type-1928C Destroyers of the Deutschland Empire,  Admiral Lutjens can be seen walking inside the bridge, glancing over his crew as they remain diligent in their duty.

"Admiral, we are 250 nautical miles away from the Port of Shanghai," his second in command, Weber reported as he performed a salute. 

"Have we detected the Hanese submarines lurking around us?" Lutjens asked.

"Not yet, our sonar operator is keeping an eye out on his station, he'll notify us as soon as he finds fluctuations in the readings." 

"Very well, keep your eyes peeled everyone, the threat of the Hanese still remains. We don't want our troops to be killed without even setting a foot on the enemy soil—" 

Suddenly, the ship rocked as an ear-deafening explosion erupted nearby.
