Chapter 1010 Unexpected Disaster (Third update, please subscribe)
"Why did you violate the National Defense Security Act and disclose military secrets?"
The military judge looked through the report and threw a few photos in front of Wu Huasun.
"This is the track you made. Its structure is almost identical to that of a tank track."
"These are just tracks, and they are not weapons."
"The tank...is a military secret, as are its components."
"This... I thought, I thought..."
Wu Huasun forced a bitter smile and explained.
"I thought tracks were just tracks. My farm is close to a wetland, and the soil there is difficult for ordinary tractors to move. Let me put it this way, if I knew it was a secret, I would never have built it. I thought..."
"It's not what you think!"
the interrogating officer exclaimed.
"Your actions have violated the National Defense Security Act."
Faced with the officer's reprimand, Wu Huasun began to shrink back.
"Well, what do we do now?"
Looking at the tank soldier in front of him who had retired many years ago, the interrogating officer handed him a cigarette and said.
"Now all you need is a confession."
Then he added:
"Considering that this is your first offense and that you didn't do it on purpose, if you plead guilty, you should be sentenced to less than three years in prison. At that time, the prosecutor will plead for you and ask for two years of probation, so you only need to serve one year in prison."
"One year..."
Wu Huasun's eyes were full of despair. He looked at the other person and said.
"Why, how could this happen?"
"A leak is a leak! There is always a price to pay for leaking!"
The interrogating officer looked at the poor guy in front of him and asked.
"Have you figured it out? If you have, I'll tell the prosecutor right now!"
…
Under the blazing sun, the last traces of the heavy rain had almost disappeared from the streets, and the refreshing sunshine sprinkled on the shop fronts and balcony windows.
In the bathroom, the shower pipe resonated and then sprayed a stream of cold water. Sun Yide picked up the razor under the mirror frame and shaved his face. In the bathroom, from the half-open window came the unique sounds of the city in the early morning: the noise of trams, the roar of car engines, and of course, the sound of people's footsteps.
These are the kinds of sounds common in roadside apartments in the early morning.
His military uniform was spread out on the bed. This uniform was the armor that symbolized the authority of the military in this era. In an era without armor, this uniform was armor. Dark green shirt, dark green pants, black leather shoes, exuding a smell of leather and shoe polish. On the military cap was the silver Suzaku military emblem.
The silver Suzaku military emblem!
This is the mark left by the "Suzaku Corps". Some things will never change. Some history certainly needs to be passed on.
Sun Yide looked at himself in the mirror. A military lawyer was looking back at him. He nodded and walked out of the room.
A few dozen minutes later, when he arrived at the military judge's office, he was called to his superior's office.
"Take a look at this case."
After taking the file handed over by his superior and taking a look at it, Sun Yide looked up at his superior and said.
"This... this, from the perspective of equipment, the tracks should not be considered a national defense secret, and this person seems to be quite innocent. He just borrowed some ideas from the tracks... or some military equipment parts, and then made some improvements to his own tractor."
Even as a military lawyer, Sun Yide felt that this guy was… a little wronged. It was hard to say that it was a leak if he just borrowed a part of military equipment, redesigned it, and then applied it to other aspects.
"That being said."
The commander shook his head and looked at his subordinate.
"But tracks are part of the weapon after all, and this is also a technology unique to the military. Otherwise, how do you think the military would have judged him as a leaker so quickly?"
Tracks are indeed a technology unique to the military. After all, no one has invented them yet. Tracks were first invented by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and are currently only used on tanks. There is no similar technology in the civilian sector.
"If that's the case, then the gasoline engine is also part of the tank, doesn't that mean..."
Sun Yide shrugged and said.
"According to this point of view, all those gasoline engines out there are also leaks. In essence, the two are just similar in design concept, but the structure is completely different. Just because he came into contact with tracks when he was in the army, and then one day he borrowed the concept of tracks to redesign another type of track, it can't be a leak of national defense secrets!"
Sun Yide, a military lawyer, said it directly.
"Even according to the Patent Law, it does not constitute infringement."
"You are just making a fuss. The Patent Law is the Patent Law, and the National Defense Law is the National Defense Law."
The commander glanced at Sun Yide and said.
"What the military means is that secrets are secrets. No matter what his purpose is, no matter what kind of secrets he leaked, it is a leak and he must be punished accordingly. Of course, the Ming Dynasty is a place that emphasizes the law. Even if he is guilty of leaking national defense secrets, he should be defended. This case is handed over to you."
When Sun Yide was leaving his superior's office, he saw his colleague Li Hui smoking at the window. When he saw Sun Yide coming out, Li Hui said.
"What a poor guy, isn't he? If he weren't an armored soldier, the invention of the track would have definitely made him a fortune, but now... it's just a jail sentence!" He spat out the scattered tobacco leaves on his tongue and continued.
"The outcome of this case is already determined! And...he has already pleaded guilty!"
"What?"
Sun Yide, holding the file in his hand, was stunned for a moment and felt that the file in his hand was a little heavy.
Is this person wronged?
For a moment, he was even speechless. Dozens of minutes later, in the gendarmerie meeting room, looking at Wu Huasun in front of him, Sun Yide said.
"I am the defense attorney assigned to you by the Military Judge Advocate's Office. I will now provide you with defense."
"Defense? Defend what?"
Wu Huasun asked in confusion.
"I, I have already pleaded guilty."
"Do you feel guilty?"
In response to the lawyer's question, Wu Huasun shook his head.
"I, I don't know..."
Looking at the lawyer in front of him, Wu Huasun asked back.
"I don't even know what secrets I revealed until now."
"The military said that the track - which is a secret technology unique to the military, your actions violated the military confidentiality law - and would leak the secrets of military equipment, regardless of whether the track you designed constitutes infringement."
Sun Yide, who had already met with the military prosecutor, spoke directly.
"If you are willing, I will appeal to the judge and try to get a lighter sentence..."
After thinking about it, Sun Yide said.
"Try to get a suspended sentence if possible! After all, your intentions were not malicious, and you didn't cause any harm."
Sometimes, when bad luck strikes, no one can tell when it will happen!
Wu Huasun was the unlucky guy. No matter what his purpose was, one thing was certain: life was like this. It was always full of coincidences. At least, before this, he had never thought that his unintentional act would bring him to jail.
Perhaps, this is fate...
