Azur Lane: The King of the Ocean

Part - 35 The Banquet Part V

Point of view, Captain Ernst Lindemann & Admiral Gunther Lütjens (aka the most iconic duo in Germany)

After navigating their way to the main banquet hall, both Admiral Lütjens and Captain Lindemann stepped in, expecting to find the person who was in charge of the base,

However, instead they found themselves in a much more social environment than anticipated.

"Ah, Admiral Lütjens, it is an honor to see you here at our banquet we had been holding, I was afraid that you would not show for the occasion,

Come, take a seat. I'll get you some drinks." The großadmiral said.

The Großadmiral, or Grand admiral Schmekelberger, was the one responsible for the ideas of upgrading their ship, the Bismarck.

However, something was off about his strange offer,

Why was this being pushed, why was the local admiralty so obsessed with their ship?

And more importantly, where on earth are they, where is Germany, where was home? Would they make it home? Were they stuck here?

Also, the local port personnel had carried out inspections and reports on the ship's condition without any consent from them whatsoever,

To Lütjens, these "Ironblood" characters were sticking their noses too deep into something that wasn't their business.

"Skip the pleasantries Großadmiral, I want to talk about my ship." Admiral Lütjens said,

Captain Lindemann rolled his eyes the second Lütjens said that the Bismarck was "his"

"Okay then, but what kind of drink would you li-" the Großadmiral said,

"I'm not in the mood for stalling..." Admiral Lütjens said, his voice getting firmer

It was obvious that Admiral Lütjens was getting extremely impatient, and they had only just started talking.

"Now, I'll ask you this once, Where are you keeping the Bismarck."

"I assure you, your ship is in a safe and secure location." The großadmiral said

"Great, where is that safe location, I would very much like to know."  Admiral Lütjens said

"It's just at the end of the port, in a secure bunker that protects it from air attacks while we simply apply the upgrades." The großadmiral said, his tone sounding extremely cordial, which was unusual.

However, this only made Lütjens even more frustrated

"Where did you get permission to apply these!" Lütjens barked.

"If you cannot see, we're at war,

Any ship allied to us needs to have an appropriate amount of weapons is all." The großadmrial said.

"There's a catch to this, isn't there,

Please tell me more about it" Lütjens said, his voice getting much angrier

Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall.

Daniel resurfaced from the bottom floors and found himself once again in the grand hall.
