Chapter 1021 The Military-Civilian Combination of the Ming Empire (Second Update, please subscribe)
Sometimes, people's destiny will always change inadvertently.

Xu Andong never imagined that one day, he would meet a lawyer, and then the lawyer would recommend himself to be his attorney.

and then?
Even put him in touch with a company to recommend his automatic gun.

Everything is like a dream.

And what about Wu Huasun?
For him, everything he experienced was like a dream - acquitted.

After almost a month of court proceedings, the evidence provided by the military judge could not prove that Wu Huasun leaked national defense secrets—his design did not infringe on the military’s patents. Since the military’s patents were not involved, there was no way of leaking up.

Therefore, he was released in court.

On the very day he was released, the Bull Tractor Company acquired his track patents—it even made the papers.Of course, the newspapers did not report the behind-the-scenes of this incident.

But for the military, this incident cannot but be said to be a blow.

Along the spacious Huaxia Avenue—this is the central axis of the central capital. If someone measures it from a map, they will find that this central axis is not a straight line, but inclined, with the top sloping toward the northwest. If you measure it, you will find that this central axis points to Huaxia.

In fact, this is also the original intention of Huaxia Avenue - not looking at the fundamentals.

This morning, a train passed by on the avenue, and the convoy... was actually a black "BMW 700".In front of it is a locomotive fleet wearing military police uniforms and white military police helmets. Four locomotives guard the front and rear of the car respectively.

It is a testimony to the advanced and developed automobile industry of the Ming Empire. It not only brings together the most advanced automobile technology of the Ming Empire, but also gathers other top technologies. It is not an ordinary car, it is a unique bulletproof car.Different from ordinary cars, the wheels are not ordinary wheels. Inside the wheels, a specially designed rubber support is used, even if the outer tire is shot, it can continue to drive.Its body was equipped with bulletproof armor up to four millimeters thick, as well as 50 millimeters thick bulletproof glass, and armor plates were added to the chassis to prevent landmines.

This is a bulletproof car specially developed for high officials of the empire.

Two small flags flew from the car's headlights: a Sun and Moon banner of the Empire and a Suzaku banner of the Imperial Army.

The person sitting in the car was none other than Army General Liang Shan. The new Minister of the Army frowned. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, then fell silent.

Liang Shan was very depressed. He never thought that after he became Minister of the Army Department, he would encounter such a thing.It even alarmed His Majesty, how should I explain it when I see His Majesty later?

"So, the military judge still insists that Wu Huasun leaked military secrets!"

Although his tone seemed calm, Emperor Zhu was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the local military judge's office believes that Wu Huasun's invention concept came from military secrets, and this alone must involve leaking secrets! His Majesty said back then that secrecy is the top priority of national security, and the military has There are a large number of secrets, such as tanks, machine guns, hydraulic tube ejection guns, aircraft, torpedoes, submarines, etc. More than ten thousand people have come into contact with these secrets. What is the secret of the military these years? It relies on the secrecy The law is strictly enforced, if the military does not keep it secret in the strictest way, and these technologies are put on the market by individuals in the name of improvement, then all the secrecy may be in vain!"

Faced with Liang Shan's explanation, Emperor Zhu frowned, and his words seemed to make sense.But this kind of truth is fallacious.

It cannot be said that the army used crawlers, and others borrowed its concept to invent new crawlers, so it is a leak!If the army spends money to buy the patent of the other party, it is understandable to continue to keep it secret, but the military is simple and rude-directly shutting down people.

"It's the truth, it's the truth, but the military law is not as great as the national law!"

Emperor Zhu said.

"It is important to protect military secrets, but the laws of the country are the laws of the country. If those retired soldiers can use some things they come into contact with in the military to improve and invent them, it will not only be a bad thing for the military, but even a good thing. Only through continuous improvement can technology be further improved. If secrecy is used as an excuse and military punishment is frequently used, then what is the progress? Secrecy... It is the military equipment and corresponding technologies that are kept secret, not restricting the development of technology."

When he said these words, Emperor Zhu was also in a very melancholy mood. In recent years, the military's behavior in terms of the secrecy of military equipment has indeed been somewhat paranoid.

They even wanted to keep some fundamental things secret. Such secrecy would not only make it impossible for Da Ming to stay ahead forever, but it would even make Da Ming fall into technical difficulties—as long as it is military technology, civilians are not allowed to use it, and using it is leaking secrets .It is illegal.

With the development of military technology, there is no essential difference between many civilian technologies and military technologies. If this is limited in principle, how is it possible for technology to progress?

Don't say it's progress, thank God if you don't regress.So, let secrecy get back on its path.

It can't be because the army uses tanks, and the civilians can't even use crawler tractors.Without the development of civilian technology, how can military technology continue to lead?

"Liangshan, although our Ming Dynasty has formed an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield with its technical equipment these years, in the war, this advantage in technical equipment cannot be maintained. Those technical equipment appearing on the battlefield Secrets will be leaked on the same day, and the enemy can make breakthroughs through photos and even seized objects, what do we need?"

After thinking about it, Emperor Zhu said.

"It's systematic military crushing, strong industrial power, advanced technology and equipment, coupled with well-trained, brave and skilled troops, this is the basis for us to win wars in the future! It's just about one or two weapons. Keeping it secret can guarantee a momentary advantage, but a lifetime advantage?"

Shaking his head, Emperor Zhu really didn't believe in the advantages of the first life, just like a machine gun... Maxim's machine gun has to ask questions in advance!
"Your Majesty, the minister knows this truth, but the track is exposed, and other countries will also make tanks based on it in the future..."

Liang Shan said.

"So what if it is manufactured? We have better and more tanks. If the Bull Tractor Company produces [-] crawler tractors a year, then after the war breaks out, the tractor production line can be converted to produce tanks, and eventually Who will benefit? Not the military, but the country!"

Emperor Zhu waved his hand directly, and then said.

"If some military technology can be applied to civilian applications, it is not a good thing to pay off. Just as military technology promotes the development of civilian technology, civilian technology will also promote the progress of military technology. The two are essentially mutually reinforcing. Moreover, if the military For Da Ming, a group of inventors like Wu Huasun can emerge on the side, which will be of great benefit and no harm!"

What does Daming need?
Of course, there are a large group of inventors. Some of those inventors are "creating out of thin air", and some are?It is an improvement and invention, but in any case it is a manifestation of creativity, which is exactly what the road to the rise of Ming Dynasty needs.

Perhaps Emperor Zhu could bring many commodities and books from the mall to promote the development of Ming's industrial technology level, but in the end, the development of Ming still depends on self-innovation ability.

Of course, self-innovation does not mean that the crutch needs to be thrown off.What is the biggest function of the mall?
Of course, it is to follow the path of others, so that others have nowhere to go.

Saying so, Emperor Zhu laughed.

"Six-year machine guns are ready to be lifted."

"what?"

Liang Shan asked puzzledly.

"Release the ban? Why?"
