Section 54

And! To be able to lock onto and fire hundreds of millions of laser beams simultaneously, killing millions of target insects at the same time...

This "Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone" is far more than just simple weaponry!

This Drone... "is completely a weapon of mass destruction that violates international conventions."

Many years ago... when the five permanent members led the nations of the world in signing the "Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons"... they signed supplementary clauses as well.

Among these supplementary clauses was a provision— "From this point on, no country in the world is allowed to research weapons of mass destruction or biochemical virus weapons!"

The purpose of signing this clause... to put it bluntly, was for world peace and stability, as well as to protect the safety of civilians during wartime...

After all, the shadow of nuclear weapons still lingers in people's minds to this day... The term "weapons of mass destruction"... has always been a taboo in the military research industry.

Now, there are basically no countries engaging in research on weapons of mass destruction... well, at least not openly. However, Dragon Country is taking a huge gamble with this move.

Let me ask... This "Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone"! It can... complete the killing of millions of targets in a split second.

With such a terrifying kill count... how can this not be considered a weapon of mass destruction!?

General Mike clenched his fists! This time... Dragon Country must fall by its own hand.

He must force Dragon Country to admit the fact that this Drone is a weapon of mass destruction! He must let the whole world see Dragon Country clearly... its true face hidden beneath hypocrisy.

...

General Mike was playing a grand game in his mind! Planning carefully... strategizing!

However... to the American netizens in the live stream chat... their Director of National Defense, the Eagle of America... looked no different from someone who had been scared silly.

In an instant... a panic began to spread rapidly through the live stream! Countless American citizens were terrified and lost their backbone:

"Oh my God, what is wrong with our Director of National Defense? Why is he standing there looking scared silly! But... you really can't blame him for this! That Drone... that thing called the 'Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone'... is just too terrifying! That kind of sudden, explosive killing power... is absolutely no less than a nuclear weapon in this day and age!"

"Eagle of America, what are you doing? Hurry up and question Dragon Country, make them admit this is a military weapon! No... we absolutely cannot let Dragon Country possess such a lethal weapon! Otherwise... we in America are doomed! Just imagine... what would happen if a Drone like this flew into our city? Millions of us would end up just like those hundreds of insects... wiped out in an instant."

"Exactly... the previous Artificial Rainfall Bomb and Agricultural Mecha were one thing... but this time, with the 'Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone'... we absolutely cannot let Dragon Country fool us again! A weapon that can kill millions of targets in the blink of an eye... should absolutely not exist in this peaceful era! I think... Dragon Country probably can't explain it either, right? After all, they signed the relevant treaties!"

"Everyone, don't panic... I know everyone must be very anxious right now, but don't panic yet! In my opinion... this time, even with his silver tongue, Director Chu Yun will definitely not be able to make up a reasonable excuse! Regardless of anything else... this laser weapon is just too exaggerated! It's even more exaggerated than weapons in sci-fi movies! If this isn't considered weaponry... I'd rather eat sh*t!"

"Exactly! Look... the Director of the National Defense Bureau of Dragon Country, Director Chu Yun, hasn't raised his head for a long time... You can tell he must be very distressed inside! After all... the whole world knows all his excuses are made up! You have to know... making up an explanation that is realistic and quite reasonable... consumes a lot of brain cells! He's so old... it's clear he can't hold on anymore."

...

American netizens were frantically urging General Mike to get to work! Soon... General Mike finally figured out his plan for confrontation! He turned around with a triumphant smile on his face!

This time... he did not face Director Chu Yun directly... but instead faced the UN Council President sitting on the podium!

"Mr. President, and members of the United Nations Council..." General Mike said solemnly and seriously:

"Decades ago, led by us, the five permanent members... over 180 countries around the world jointly signed the 'Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons'! And in the supplementary provisions of this treaty... these 180 countries also signed relevant articles prohibiting the research and development of weapons of mass destruction and biochemical virus weapons."

The UN Council President nodded, acknowledging what General Mike said. After all... this was a fact. The original copies of these treaties... were still kept in the United Nations archives to this day, and what General Mike said was completely true.

...

Seeing the United Nations Council President's affirmative reply, General Mike revealed an even more excited smile:

"Then... with this point clarified, the next problem will be easy to solve! I think... none of the representatives present here are blind or stupid... Everyone has also seen the footage of Lin Xian demonstrating the 'Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone' on the big screen just now."

"That Drone... is equipped with a targeting and locking system and laser macro-weaponry that we cannot understand at all! In less than half a second... it achieved the locking and annihilation of millions of targets!"

"In international conventions, there is a strict definition for weapons of mass destruction... then there is no doubt! This 'Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone' from Dragon Country, capable of killing millions of targets in an instant... is a 'weapon of mass destruction' even more terrifying than nuclear weapons."

...

General Mike's words... shocked all the delegates at the meeting.

Weapons... weapons of mass destruction. This term... had not been heard for many, many years!

Back then, this term... could be said to be synonymous with nuclear weapons. But with the cooling of the arms race over these years... it had gradually been forgotten from people's minds.

However... there is no need to question it! A fact recognized by everyone in the world is— "Weapons of mass destruction... are the common enemy of all mankind."

This is an indisputable statement! After all... the emergence of any weapon of mass destruction... means that the lives of millions of residents in a city can be wiped out in an instant!

The mushroom cloud from the nuclear explosions of the past... has still not dissipated from people's hearts to this day... Therefore. This move by America is truly brilliant!

General Mike no longer intended to classify this Drone as simple weaponry... His goal... was to define this Drone as a "weapon of mass destruction."

This move was too ruthless! As long as this definition is established... then! Dragon Country would effectively be in violation of the most important international conventions! And it would have done something that anti-war people all over the world hate the most.

If that were the case... at best, Dragon Country would have to destroy its weapons of mass destruction, be punished by the United Nations, and suffer a major decline in international reputation. And thinking on the more serious side... perhaps because of this Waterloo, Dragon Country would completely become the common enemy of the whole world. The international image built up over so many years would be destroyed in an instant.

And so...
