"This changes things, Sir Mikhail," Claude began. "Now the enemy was exterminated using your superior Air Forces, it seems as though there's no need for you to evacuate all of us…" 

Mikhail's eyes widened in surprise, and Makarov reacted the same.

"Pardon me if I'm about to curse in the presence of the ambassadors of ten great powers but what the fuck? It sounded like you used us! This is unacceptable, a complete affront to the Ruthenia Empire." 

"You don't have to get aggressive Mikhail," Myers joined. "I mean think about this logically. We have no way of contacting our government or our military but now that you annihilated the Boxers, Mister Claude's military is going to arrive in four days."
