Chapter 559 Your Highness, We Have a Certificate

Shi Shengnan answered timidly, "We have sisters who are medics, but medics' guns are just for show, they only fire a few times a year. It's better for us to train ourselves now! We want to... join the navy, or if that doesn't work, the marines will do!"

"Just say you want to be in the navy! Why are you making such a fuss? Why don't you just go and apply to the naval academy?"

“........”

Shi Shengnan's mouth gaped open, unable to speak, while Xiao Yue'er, Qiao Qianqian, and the others also looked on in disbelief.

The Naval Academy is the first institution of higher learning for high-ranking officials, and it never admits female students. Now Qin Mo is asking them to take the entrance exam for the Naval Academy. Is he drunk or joking?

"Thank you, Your Highness... Your Highness is wise!" The women bowed gracefully and thanked them in unison.

The great Prince Heng never joked, nor did he ever get drunk. Even if he did get drunk, he would make sure the matter was settled first.

"Teacher, it's very inconvenient for women to board a ship!"

Shi Jing was telling the truth. The living space on warships is cramped and the fresh water supply is limited. For various reasons, it is difficult for women to serve on warships for a long time. Therefore, the military has always prohibited the navy from recruiting female soldiers.

But Qin Mo knew that it was only a matter of time before female soldiers were assigned to the ship. Female soldiers were gentle and suitable for meticulous work, and their presence would also increase the morale of the male soldiers. The Americans had conducted detailed research and concluded that assigning female soldiers to the ship would improve combat effectiveness.

"Shi Jing! You need to broaden your horizons. Our ships used to be a few hundred tons, then a thousand tons, and now? They're almost five thousand tons."

"Once our giant steel ships are launched, every sailor will have their own cabin, and everyone will have the means to keep themselves clean and avoid disease. Women will no longer be a problem on board."

Looking at the female interns whose eyes were already filled with anticipation, Qin Mo waved her hand with great enthusiasm and said, "In the near future, we will definitely have more and bigger warships, and you... may be the first female captains in history!"
