As soon as Speaker Long finished speaking, Gu Nianzhi and Special Assistant Zhuang asked in unison, "Where did the Americans get this information?!"
How did they know the names of our 27 soldiers?!
Speaker Long's expression was gloomy as he clenched his fists. "This is also our problem." As he spoke, he placed the list of 27 soldiers in front of Gu Nianzhi. "Take a look. Do we still need to fight this lawsuit?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at the list and immediately understood that it was the 27 Special Operations Forces members who had been in the central control room that day!
She knew all of them. They were all her uncles and brothers who had watched her grow up.
Seeing these familiar names become "defendants" in the American court, Gu Nianzhi felt it was unrealistic and absurd.
She composed herself and skimmed through the indictment from the US Department of Justice.
The indictment was very thick, and Gu Nianzhi only read the summary at the top.
The indictment from the US Department of Justice showed that they had charged the 27 soldiers with 31 charges, including using phishing software to obtain passwords, hacking into the computer system of a secret US laboratory to plant viruses, stealing advanced technical information, using virus commands to destroy computer hardware and software, as well as violating personal privacy and stealing business and trade secrets. They were demanding astronomical compensation.
The court of prosecution was the Western District Court of the US Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the 27 Chinese soldiers were immediately wanted.
Attached to the indictment was an arrest warrant issued by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with clear photos of the 27 military officers.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the summary and laughed bitterly. "The United States used a politically correct person as the Attorney General, so his professionalism had to be relegated to the second line. Otherwise, how could they have come up with such a ridiculous indictment? I'm guessing the American judiciary will pretend to be deaf and mute for a long time. It's so embarrassing. "
"You mean they shouldn't sue?"
"Of course not. First of all, according to the procedural justice of American law, the means of obtaining evidence must be legal and public in order to have legal effect. Look at the information of these soldiers. It's top secret in our country, so how did the Americans get it? Do they dare to reveal how they obtained the information? "
Gu Nianzhi knocked on the thick indictment. "They definitely wouldn't dare to say it. Anyone with eyes could see that they must have obtained this information through illegal means. Either they got it from the spies, or they used hackers to steal it from our system, just like how they accused us of cyber warfare. "
"So what you're saying is that because they obtained the evidence illegally, this case is not valid at all?" Speaker Long also studied law, so he was very familiar with legal issues.
"That's right, the US court shouldn't have even filed the case. Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. "We have to forgive their ignorance and arrogance. You have to know that the United States has gone mad under the banner of political correctness. They can sacrifice fairness, efficiency, quality, and conscience for the sake of political correctness. That's why the previous US government was no good. It was filled with mentally retarded people who relied on political correctness to get to where they were. "
In the current US government, the president, who was addicted to tweeting, had yet to complete the replacement of government officials. Many senior government positions were still retained by the previous officials.
The Minister of Justice who prosecuted the Huaxia Imperial soldiers had been appointed by the previous president.
Speaker Long nodded. "Nianzhi is right. Draft a rebuttal email and send it to me. I will forward it to the interim cabinet's Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Also, send a copy to General Ji. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and returned to her office to draft a rebuttal email.
She was very familiar with this kind of email, so she quickly criticized the other party's indictment with reason and restraint. From legal principles to legal provisions, from logic to common sense, she criticized everything thoroughly.
The email was less than 300 words long, but it was already a very exciting court defense thesis.
Speaker Long read the email and clapped his hands in approval. He immediately forwarded it to General Ji, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their reference.
General Ji and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs treated it like a treasure. They used Gu Nianzhi's rebuttal email as a basis to reply to the unreasonable demands of the United States.
Only the Huaxia Imperial Ministry of Justice didn't take Speaker Long's forwarded email seriously.
Because the Minister of Justice had been singlehandedly appointed by Prime Minister Tan Dongbang, he had always followed Tan Dongbang's lead.
Tan Dongbang's position as Prime Minister was in jeopardy, but the Minister of Justice still hadn't given up on him. He acted like the Prime Minister's lackey.
As soon as he received the indictment from the United States Department of Justice, he was dumbfounded and immediately went to Tan Dongbang for advice.
Tan Dongbang called Cai Songyin over to listen to the Minister of Justice's report with her in the Prime Minister's office. He then read the summary of the indictment and felt a surge of excitement.
Wasn't this matter highly possible?!
Tan Dongbang looked eagerly at Cai Songyin. "Songyin, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Cai Songyin understood what Tan Dongbang meant as soon as he spoke.
She flipped through the indictment and thought to herself, Could it be that Tan Dongbang's fate as Prime Minister wasn't fated to die?!
If this matter was hyped up, perhaps she could still get a share of the spoils of the interim general election vote …
Cai Songyin held the thick stack of indictment and said, "I have to go back and think about what to do."
"Fine, fine, go think about it quickly!" Tan Dongbang actually had his own ideas and was eager to try them out. However, Cai Songyin had accumulated power for a long time, so he always instinctively sought her opinion first, especially on important matters.
Cai Songyin left Tan Dongbang's Prime Minister's office with the indictment and returned to her own building.
When Tan Guiren returned from the Senate building in the morning, she discovered that her father, Tan Dongbang, was in a meeting and her mother was also attending the meeting, so she didn't see anyone. She took an afternoon nap after returning and heard from the servants that Cai Songyin had already returned from outside.
She hurriedly changed and went to the door to block it.
Seeing Cai Songyin, Tan Guiren flew over like a butterfly. "Mommy."
"Little Darling, why didn't you sleep more?" Cai Songyin stopped in her tracks and smiled as she watched Tan Guiren jump into her arms.
Hugging Tan Guiren, Cai Songyin said kindly, "Why didn't you sleep more?"
"Mommy, I've already slept much better." Tan Guiren hugged Cai Songyin's arm. "Mommy, I have to tell you something. That Director Hong is a complete and utter bad person."
Cai Songyin was speechless.
"Little Darling, don't worry about these outside matters. Just focus on your violin. "Cai Songyin stroked Tan Guiren's long, black hair." How was your time in the military art troupe? "
"It was alright." Tan Guiren felt relieved that the message had been delivered. "Mommy, I went to the troupe to practice my violin in the afternoon and won't be back until tonight."
"Go. I'll have Old Chang drive you there."
Old Chang was Cai Songyin's family's chauffeur.
Tan Guiren happily left in the car, and Cai Songyin finally had the opportunity to read the indictment from the US Department of Justice.
She read the indictment from a different perspective than Gu Nianzhi. Cai Songyin read it from the perspective of sensationalizing news and entertainment.
As she expected, there were too many things that could be hyped up in the indictment.
There were only four days left before Tan Dongbang would be participating in the election again.
They had to seize the high ground of the news!
