The Kaiser soldier quickly got Donald's respect for knowing the situation they're in. He returned to the locker room to place back his box of cigarettes as he tried to smoke at the hangar but he was told that in case of accidentally burning something it was forbidden and he will have to look elsewhere or stop smoking for a while. He planned to continue training but he can use a break and speak with the other pilots. Before he could Mizawa entered the room, announcing Chinese aid. "So China's willing to help us?" He repeated the question. "It's better than nothing for now." The lieutenant commented and entered the conversation between Mizawa and Richard. "Although Chinese aid will be good for us we need to keep a close eye on them. The Atlantic Federation, Eurasia and China do not really trust each other much because of our old wars." He was really tempted to smoke now.
