Late into the night, the conversation had already ended when Shang Yanwu suddenly raised a question in the dark:
"Brother, what do you think about me joining the military?"
"Join the military?"
"Yes, preferably the Navy!"
"That would be quite good," Shang Yanwen said, "but as you are now, you can't become anything. The selection for the Alliance Army is getting stricter and stricter, and I'm afraid you might not even make it into the Planetary Defense Army... You need to work hard, preferably getting into the Naval Academy."
"But that's too hard!" Shang Yanwu fell into despondency again, "The Naval Academy, even on Flying Wing Star, is the best, isn't it? I can't get in no matter what... Isn't there any way to become a Navy sailor? That's got to be much easier than getting into the Naval Academy, right?"
Shang Yanwen felt his brother was right.
