can you help me translating this paragraph?
so I'm trying to translate part of UN CASO DIFFICILE by Alfredo Balducci
but I got stuck while translating because I'm not sure if I understood this sentence right
COLONNELLO – Ma Pablo De Segura è come se fosse mio figlio. Io l’ho spinto in questa carriera, l’ho seguito, incoraggiato, protetto. Come mi si può chiedere un’azione del genere?
MARTIN – ((((((((Nessuno gliela chiede)))))))))))), colonnello, pensa che noi non comprendiamo e apprezziamo certi sentimenti?
the sentence between brackets (((Nessuno gliela chiede))))
can you help me to understand

That means: "No one is asking you that" (i.e., to do that) as an answer to what the colonel asked Martin ("How can you ask me to do such a thing"?").
So: Nessuno (no one) gliela (gli = to you, in the courtesy form, + la = that, referred to the thing the colonel is supposed to do) chiede (asks)
