Chapter 639

1993, October 27th,

A Dragonair plane, took off from the Imperial Capital, flying to Hong Kong.

On the plane, were more than 70 technical personnel from major shipyards across the country, most of them were technical personnel in their 30s-40s, each wearing glasses, wearing simple clothes, more or less having the scholarly temperament of people who study.

"Comrades."

"Quiet for a moment."

The team leader, Chief Engineer Liu, stood in the center of the cabin aisle, his eyes behind his glasses shining brightly, his voice loud.

The technical personnel quickly quieted down.

"Everyone is the backbone from shipyards across the country, many people are meeting for the first time today..."

"This time we go to Hong Kong, the task we shoulder, everyone should be clear in their hearts."

"And behavioral constraints, presumably each shipyard should have told you."

"First, after arriving in Hong Kong, you will have another identity - ordinary wharf workers, don't tell others you are from inland shipyards, just say you are here to work and make money, don't say much, if someone is particularly curious and asks you, you tell me, I will find someone to arrange."

"Now the bullying of American imperialism, presumably you are also clear, they won't want us to master advanced shipbuilding technology..."

The engineers present, the reason they could be sent, the political review was absolutely strict, and the political consciousness could also stand the test.

They nodded one after another.

Chief Engineer Liu: "Okay, next I will tell everyone some details after arriving in Hong Kong."

"First, everyone's life will be responsible by the Hong Kong enterprise Five Star Group, they will arrange dormitories, rest 8 days every month, subsidy every month..."

"Okay, now I will talk about the ship."

"This ship has a full load displacement of 35,000 tons, a ship length of nearly 200 meters, and has the mature design of the Soviet industrial system."

"Comrades, the technical value of this supply ship to us is far more than its 35,000-ton displacement."

He opened the first page of the technical parameter table:

"First look at the ship structure. This ship adopts the Soviet-specific double-layer ship shell design, and also uses a special wave-type welding process in key parts. The pressure resistance of this structure in bad sea conditions is more than 30% stronger than our existing single-layer ship shell design."

Old Zhang, a turbine expert sitting in the front row, immediately took out his notebook to record, the fountain pen rustling on the paper.

"Secondly, the power system." Chief Engineer Liu continued, "According to the data, it is equipped with the hybrid propulsion system newly developed by the Soviet Union. The main engine power reaches 24,000 horsepower, but the fuel consumption is 15% lower than our domestic units of the same power."

"During this half-year observation period, comrades in the power group must focus on studying its transmission device and cooling system."

Several engineers in the power group were excited: "Yes!"

Chief Engineer Liu turned to the schematic diagram of the supply system:

"And its horizontal supply device. Everyone look at this hydraulic telescopic arm design, which can complete supply operations in sea state 5. Our existing Type 071 supply ship can only operate in sea state 3."

"And in terms of materials, whether it is coating, steel, cable... believe that many places are much more advanced than our domestic materials. Comrades in our material group must also work hard."

Subsequently said a lot,

Don't look at this supply ship as an empty shell, to the United States it is junk, but it has many things that the currently backward East needs to learn.

Chief Engineer Liu paused, his voice became more solemn:

"Superiors emphasized that this observation is not just a casual look. Each professional group must formulate a detailed study plan. The ship body group must measure the structural dimensions of every important node, the power group must record the operating parameters of all equipment, the supply system group must understand the working principle of every hydraulic component, the material group must try to make breakthroughs in material reverse engineering..."

A sound of flipping notebooks sounded in the cabin.

"After the collapse of the Soviet Union, such advanced warship technology is rapidly being lost."

"We must race against time and learn everything we can."

He closed the data, his tone firm: "After we finish our studies and return, these technologies will be directly applied to the research and development of our new generation Type 903 comprehensive supply ship. At that time, everyone present will be a hero in the development history of China's ocean-going supply ships."

At the current stage, the Chinese Navy faces the problem of insufficient comprehensive supply ships, unable to meet the growing needs of ocean-going combat and training. However, the lack of modern warship construction ideas and experience has made the research and development work not smooth.

And this ocean-going supply ship purchased by the Five Star Group gave the East a chance.

These words made the technical personnel in the cabin straighten their backs.

The plane passed through the clouds, soaring in the sky.

Everyone felt the burden on their shoulders was heavier, but the light in their eyes was also brighter.

3 hours later,

The plane landed at Kai Tak Airport, then dispersed, took taxis, passed through Kowloon District all the way, and arrived at Kwai Chung District.

Then, under the arrangement of Five Star Property, they dispersed and moved into rental houses in buildings near Kwai Chung Wharf.

No welcome.

Everything was done low-key.

The MTR case, after dragging on, finally reached the day of the court trial.

Today,

The weather is sunny, the sky is clear.

The air in November is neither cold nor hot, very comfortable.

Courthouse building,

The entrance of the courthouse was already crowded, reporters set up long guns and short cannons, bailiffs kept their faces tight to maintain order, onlookers held slogans like "Indians get out of Hong Kong", "Support Justice", shouting loudly, the scene was noisy and enthusiastic.

ATV and TVB's live broadcast vehicles were prepared early, broadcasting the scene live for all of Hong Kong to watch.

At this moment, all of Hong Kong was paying attention to this court trial.

Screech————

Several red taxis arrived at the entrance of the courthouse.

Stopped.

Jian Aowei in a suit got out of the car.

Besides him, there was also a group of defendant citizens, all of whom were defendants who took action on the MTR that day.

And what about the two old uncles? Naturally, they were lying in the ICU, "critically ill"!

After Jian Aowei's side arrived, reporters swarmed up:

"Dear warriors, how do you feel now?"

"Lawyer Jian, do you have confidence in winning this time?"

"Student Liang..."

Jian Aowei blocked the many reporters, his voice steady: "My client needs quiet, trouble everyone, if you have any interviews, wait until the trial is over, then interview..."

At this time...

Screech————

Another car came, Mercedes-Benz + ambulance.

The Indian consul brought the lawyer team off the car, and from the ambulance came two Indian defendants in wheelchairs, and another one who ran fast.

The consul had a gloomy face.

The lawyer pointed at the citizen group and shouted: "They faked their injuries! My client is the victim!"

Once this was said,

Onlookers cursed one after another:

"Fuck! Pretending what?"

"Lizard guy still dares to accuse first?!"

Soon, the police force maintaining order quickly blocked the crowd, lest these Indians be beaten.

During this time, the Indian Consulate was surrounded by a crowd of citizens, making these Indians afraid to go out, afraid of being beaten until their faces were flowers.

ATV reporter Le Huizhen took the opportunity to poke the microphone in front of the consul:

"Your citizens called Hong Kong people 'untouchables', does this constitute racial discrimination?"

"Also, your client can still appear in court, but our Hong Kong's two uncles are lying in the ICU, critically ill, who is the perpetrator?"

Indian lawyer was furious: "Our client's injuries are real injuries, and those two old men must be pretending!"

Citizens cursed one after another:

"Fuck!"

"Fuck your mother!"

"Bastards!"

The amount of cursing was too high, making ATV and TVB's live broadcast cameras dare not aim at these citizens.

After a mess.

10 minutes,

All parties finally walked into the court, and the outside was finally much quieter.

Inside the courtroom,

"Bang bang bang~~~"

The judge knocked the gavel,

"Court is in session."

The Indian lawyer stood up first, waving the document in his hand:

"Your Honor, my client - two Indian citizen tourists, suffered unprovoked group beating in Hong Kong MTR, leading to serious disability!"

He displayed an injury report,

"They were beaten by Hong Kong thugs until they had multiple fractures, both spirit and body suffered great pain! We demand severe punishment for the thugs, and compensation of 5 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Jian Aowei stood up, tidied his suit, his tone steady and powerful:

"Your Honor, the plaintiff's accusation does not conform to the facts at all."

"And the cause of the conflict was the plaintiff's frivolous behavior towards the female student Liang at the scene, verbal molestation, and multiple uses of racial discrimination language to discriminate against many citizens on the MTR, scolding 'Hong Kong people are all untouchables', and finally took action first, triggering a violent conflict! My client citizens were to protect the female student, stop the plaintiff's atrocities, and were forced to take action."

He displayed a critical illness notice issued by Mingxin Hospital.

"Among them, our two old men are still being rescued in the ICU, critically ill."

The family members next to them immediately covered their faces and sobbed.

The judge looked at the Indian lawyer: "Did the plaintiff use the word 'untouchable'?"

The Indian lawyer's eyes were firm: "No, absolutely not!"

A burst of boos sounded in the public gallery, the bailiff hurriedly maintained order loudly.

Next entered the defendant's evidence presentation link.

Jian Aowei: "Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the key to this case lies in the determination of the truth. Regrettably, the surveillance equipment in the MTR failed to record the scene situation——"

"Since there is no surveillance, we can only rely on human witnesses to restore the facts."

Jian Aowei turned to the first witness, a citizen,

"May I ask if you saw the actions of the Indian client at the time of the incident?"

The citizen nodded: "I saw a few people running out of the carriage, one of the Indians was chasing an old man, running all the way to the platform."

"Then?" Jian Aowei asked.

"A few citizens also chased out, they were shouting 'Don't hit people' 'Stop quickly'."

Those three Indians were crazy with anger.

"Not right!"

"Protest!"

"Perjury, he is committing perjury!"

"It was us being chased and beaten, not us chasing and beating!"

Bang bang bang~~~

The judge knocked the gavel: "Quiet, now is the defendant's evidence presentation time! Quiet!"

Fair and clear!

I took the money, sorry, Indians!

Hehehe~~~

Jian Aowei returned to the defense table satisfied, continuing to summon the next witness.

"The plaintiff side bumped into student Liang first, student Liang retreated, wanting to avoid them, result they became even more intense, teased and molested, extremely arrogant..."

"It was them who scolded 'untouchables' first, and also took action first!"

"We saw it clearly."

"Subsequently, the carriage was in a chaotic battle, one of our white-haired old men was deliberately targeted because of righteously taking action, could only escape outside the carriage... they chased and beat out of the carriage to the platform, we followed to stop them!"

The Indian lawyer saw this: "Your Honor, protest, they are making false testimony!"

"It was truly my client who was surrounded and beaten by them, forced to leave the MTR."

Judge: "Do you have any evidence?"

Indian lawyer: "............"

He really had no evidence, they couldn't find any witnesses at all.

And the defendant's side, there were witnesses everywhere.

Jian Aowei watched the show with a smile.

Jian Aowei tidied his expression, righteous and stern: "Your Honor, please allow me to summon the second witness, the neighbor of 72-year-old Uncle Chen, Ms. Wang."

Ms. Wang walked to the witness stand with a cane, her voice trembling: "I have been Uncle Chen's neighbor for decades, he usually needs to hold the wall to walk. That day he was pushed to the ground by Indians, the back of his head was bleeding..."

She wiped her tears,

"Such an old person, how could they be so ruthless!"

The two Indians who were beaten and crippled roared: "Clearly these two old guys took the most ruthless action!"

The judge righteously bang bang bang: "Plaintiff quiet, quiet!"

Indians: "............"

Almost vomited blood.

Closed his desperate eyes, being a person... at least cannot...

Jian Aowei took out a hospital report unhurriedly: "Your Honor, this is the injury appraisal of the two seventy-year-old old men - Uncle Chen has a concussion and stroke, Uncle Li also has a stroke. May I ask the plaintiff, what kind of 'self-defense' would take such ruthless action against sixty or seventy-year-old old men?"

He paused, his gaze swept over the jury,

"They are old people who need help crossing the road! If it weren't for the Indians' cruel atrocities, how could it come to this?"

Heartbroken!

Jian Aowei continued to summon witnesses,

One after another, citizens who were at the scene,

All citizen witnesses had consistent statements.

Judge: "The defense has provided sufficient human witnesses, now please start the plaintiff's evidence presentation."

Indian lawyer: "I ask the police to show the statements of the many perpetrators on the defendant's side..."

Then...

After the police statements were shown,

The Indian lawyer's face changed greatly...

Next, he tried to find other breakthroughs, but there were no human or physical evidence.

The Indian lawyer, consul, three clients... were so angry their eyes turned black.

20 minutes later...

"Bang bang bang~~~"

The judge knocked the gavel.

"Now adjourn..."

"Jury..."

Then it was the jury and the judge entering the office behind to discuss the verdict.

20 minutes later,

The result came out.

"After the jury... the verdict is as follows: The plaintiff's accusation is not established!"

Once the verdict came out,

"Ah hahaha~~~ Good!"

"Clap clap clap~~~"

The citizens in the defendant's seat cheered, high-fived each other, family members surrounded them excitedly.

"I don't accept it!"

Several Indians were furious, cursing loudly:

"You despicable Hong Kong people!"

"You group of untouchables!"

"%&*￥%*……"

Once this was said, it was captured by ATV and TVB reporters.

Good, still say you didn't insult Hong Kong people?

The two Indians sitting in wheelchairs were so angry their eyes turned red.

This Hong Kong is too dark!

At this time, Jian Aowei came to them:

"Currently our two old men are lying in the hospital receiving treatment... I will formally file a lawsuit with the court tomorrow, suing you for violent injury to my client."

"Demanding you to compensate my client for medical expenses, mental damages, etc..."

The Indians were crazy with anger.

Almost vomited blood!

And those witnesses stared wide-eyed.

Ah? No, chasing and killing?

Also too crazy, right?

Not only framing others, but also making people compensate!

Wait...

Is it Indians?

Then it's fine, kill them ruthlessly!

Hehehe~~~
