What are the consequences of cutting the optical cable?

Legal analysis: cutting off the national defense optical cable has serious consequences and may be sentenced. The sentencing for cutting off the national defense optical cable depends on the seriousness of the case. Only those cases with particularly serious circumstances will be convicted of disrupting military communications, starting with three years' imprisonment, and the most serious will be sentenced to death. If it does not cause serious consequences, it does not constitute a crime, but it should also be compensated accordingly.
