Shanghai

"Shanghai. A port city. Now ruined. I cannot believe this. Leni is angry when Lori is trying to protect the port city from being occupied, and fell under the hands of Republic of China. Recker told me that Shanghai will be destroyed soon if we don't stop the fighting, nor if the PLA didn't stop the fighting."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Shanghai
