"Why did you violate the National Defense Secrecy Act and leak military secrets?"
The military judge who was looking through the report threw a few photos in front of Wu Huasun.
"This is the track you made. Its structure is almost exactly the same as a tank track."
"This is just a track, not a weapon."
"The tank... is a military secret, including its components."
"This...I thought, I thought..."
Wu Huasun forced out a wry smile and explained.
"I thought the tracks were just tracks. My farm is close to a wetland, and the soil there is difficult for an ordinary tractor to drag. Let's put it this way, if I knew it was a secret, I would never build it. I thought...
"
"That's not what you think!"
the interrogating officer shouted.
"Your actions have violated the Defense Secrets Act."
Faced with the officer's reprimand, Wu Huasun began to cower.
"Then, what should we do now?"
Looking at the tank soldier in front of him who had retired for many years, the interrogating officer handed him a cigarette and said.
"Now all you need is to plead guilty."
Then he added:
"Considering that you are only a first-time offender and did not do it intentionally, 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 do one year.
The prison."
"One year..."
Wu Huasun's eyes were full of despair. He looked at the other party and said.
"Why, how could this happen?"
"Leaking secrets is leaking secrets! Leaking secrets always comes with a price!"
The interrogating officer looked at the poor guy in front of him and asked.
"Have you figured it out? If so, I will tell the prosecutor now!"
…
Under the scorching sun, the last traces of the heavy rain have almost disappeared from the streets, and the refreshing sunshine shines on the shop floors and balcony windows.
In the bathroom, the shower pipe resonated for a while, and then sprayed out a stream of cold water. Sun Yide picked up the razor under the mirror frame and shaved his face. He was in the bathroom, and the unique sound of the city's early morning came from outside the half-open window:
The noise of trams, the roar of car engines, and of course, the sound of people’s footsteps.
These are the various sounds that are common in roadside apartments in the early morning.
His military uniform was laid out flat on the bed. This military uniform was the armor that symbolized military authority in this era. In the era when there was no armor, this military uniform was armor. Dark green shirt, dark green trousers, and black leather shoes.
, exuding the smell of leather and shoe polish. There is a silver Suzaku military emblem on the military cap.
Silver Suzaku military emblem!
This is the imprint left by the "Suzaku Legion". Some things will never change. Of course, some history needs to be passed on.
Sun Yide looked at himself in the mirror. A military lawyer was looking back at him, nodded, and then walked out of the door.
Dozens of minutes later, when he arrived at the military judge's office, he was called to the commander's office.
"Take a look at this case."
After taking the file handed over by the superior and looking at it, Sun Yide looked up at the superior and said.
"This... this, from an equipment point of view, tracks should not be considered national defense secrets, and this person seems to be quite unjust. He just borrowed some ideas from tracks... or, in other words, certain military equipment components.
Then I just make some improvements to my tractor."
Even as a military lawyer, Sun Yide felt that this guy... was a bit unjust. He just borrowed a certain part of military equipment, redesigned it, and then applied it in other aspects. This could hardly be said to be a leak.
"That's what I said."
The chief shook his head, looked at his subordinates and said.
"But the tracks are part of the weapons and equipment after all, and this is also a technology unique to the military. Otherwise, how could you think the military would have concluded that he had leaked the secret so quickly?"
The track is indeed a unique technology of the military. After all, no one has invented the track yet. The track was first invented by Emperor Zhu Da and is currently only used on tanks. There is currently no similar technology among the people.
"If that's the case, the gasoline engine is also part of the tank. Does that mean..."
Sun Yide shrugged his shoulders and said.
"According to this point of view, all the gasoline engines outside have been leaked. In essence, the two are just similar in design concept, but the structure is completely different. It cannot be because he came into contact with crawler tracks when he was in the army, and then one day, he borrowed the concept of crawler tracks.
If you redesign another type of track, you’ve leaked national defense secrets!”
As a military lawyer, Sun Yide said directly.
"Even according to the patent law, it does not constitute infringement."
"Aren't you just messing around? The patent law is the patent law, and the national defense law is the national defense law."
The chief glanced at Sun Yide and then said.
"What the military means is that secrets are secrets. No matter what his purpose is, no matter what secrets he leaks, it is a leak and must be punished accordingly. Of course, Daming is a man who pays attention to the law.
Even if he is guilty of leaking national defense secrets, he should be defended. This case will be left to you."
When Sun Yide left the chief's office, he saw his colleague Li Hui smoking a cigarette at the window. When he saw Sun Yide walking out, Li Hui said.
"What a poor guy, isn't he? Speaking of which, if he hadn't been an armored soldier, his invention of crawler tracks would have definitely brought him a lot of wealth, but now... he's in jail!" He spat.
There were scattered tobacco leaves on his tongue, and then he continued.
"The outcome of this case is already determined! And...he has already pleaded guilty!"
"What?"
Sun Yide, who was holding the file in his hand, was stunned for a moment, feeling that the file in his hand was a bit heavy.
Is this person unjust?
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 lawyer assigned to you by the Military Judge's Office, and I will now provide you with your defense."
"Defense? Defend for what?"
Wu Huasun asked in confusion.
"I, I have confessed."
"Do you feel guilty?"
Facing the lawyer's rhetorical question, Wu Huasun shook his head and said.
"I, I don't know..."
Looking at the lawyer in front of him, Wu Huasun asked.
"Even until now, I don't know what secrets I revealed."
"The military said that the track - which is a secret technology unique to the military, and that your actions violated the Servicemembers' Secrets Act - will leak the secrets of military equipment, regardless of whether the track you designed constitutes an infringement."
Sun Yide, who had already met with the military prosecutor, said directly.
"If you are willing, I will express my feelings to the judge and try my best to seek a lighter sentence..."
After thinking about it, Sun Yide said.
"Strive for a suspended sentence as much as possible! After all, your original intention was not malicious and you did not cause any harm."
Sometimes, people are unlucky and no one can tell when it will be!
Wu Huasun is the unlucky guy, no matter what his purpose is, but one thing is certain, life is like this. It is always full of many accidents. At least, before this, he had never thought about one of his unintentional actions.
, will actually bring yourself to jail.
Perhaps, this is fate...
