After hearing the conditions and demands of the two of them, Ivankov wore a conflicted expression.
"I can't promise you anything about this. I'll report it to the Commander-in-Chief. Come back tomorrow." They were chatting like this right outside the Revolutionary Army camp gates on the Sabaody Archipelago.

Although the Marine commanders at certain bases were quite beloved, that did not change the fact that they were like emperors and dictators.
