Bismarck's Office, Iron Blood Head Quarters.
June 11, 1942
8:00 PM
"So. Tell me, what are the capability of their ASW?" Bismarck spoke, as she looks the three Girls in the eye.
"Well... according to what we saw, they use an aircraft similar to Fl 282 Kolberi." U-557 reads her report, as she holds herself from quivering in front of Bismarck.
This gets Bismarck's attention at the mentioned of the aircraft uses on ASW, she leans a bit forward from her seat and gestures to her. "Continue."
"That weird aircraft drops a cylindrical tube above us. He gave us a warning, and we ignore it. After that he dropped a torpedo."
U-557 pause a bit to regain her composure from the shock she felt from the torpedo chasing them.
"The torpedo then starts to move and follow us, but U-556 is the closest one to the torpedo and she was hit at the rigging, with only one hit."
U-557 starts to tear-up as she finishes her report, and the other U-Boats comforts her.
"A cylindrical shape with a wire attached to its end, and a Homing Torpedo used for Anti-Submarine. And with use of Fl 282 to fly it over the submarine, just like what we used to hunt-down the Siren Sub with." Bismarck mumbles.
She sighs and face the three U-Boats and spoke. "You three." She points at the three Girls. "Go get some rest... you three needed it."
The three U-Boats light-up and cheered, as they didn't expect to be not punished at their failed mission. "Gnadige Frau."
Bismarck have a little bit of smile in her face, as she saw the girls' happy faces. The three then leaves the Office and headed to their own respected Dorm.
She knew what the girls felt, as she felt that same kind of defeat before. And she all knew sending a bunch of U-Boats to find-out their enemy's ASW capability is suicidal.
Bismarck and Hipper are the ones left in the Office, as the atmosphere goes back to normal one.
"What should we do about the new Ships of Azur Lane? Roon, Graf Zeppelin and Odin are already enroute with the Sakura Empire?" Hipper asks, as she is worried about Eugen going toe-to-toe with the Modern Kansens.
"Let's just hope Sakuran Carriers can match the two New Carriers of Azur Lane." Bismarck spoke, as she thinks of alternative plans if Sakura fails.
Bismarck leans forward to her table and clasps her hands together and spoke.
"If the Sakurans fails. We might send Peter Strasser and Friedrich der Gruẞe to assist them. Those two are enough to tip the scale of the Battlefield."
"But. That would leave us with minimal Carriers in our border. If we re-locate one Shipgirl, the border in the east will be unguarded." Hipper exclaims.
Iron Blood and Northern Parliament have a 'little bit' of border skirmishes with their own Ground Troops. If this was left unsupervised this whole border skirmishes could lead to all out conflict with their neighbor at the east
"I know. If it is the only thing to keep our ally in the east afloat. Then, yes." Bismarck remark, as she touches her brows.
She then orders Hipper. "Contact the Sardinians to send reinforcement to the eastern borders, if the Sakuran fails."
