Section 55

"……Weapons of mass destruction! You can't just slap that label on something so casually! Whoever admits to developing weapons of mass destruction…… would truly become a public enemy of all humanity! As early as the last century…… international conventions had already explicitly banned weapons of mass destruction, biochemical weapons, and viral weapons!"

"Bu…… but to be fair…… I actually think what the US Representative said makes quite a lot of sense. That…… that terrifyingly extreme Drone wiped out millions of pests in half a second! And it hit targets across land, sea, and air…… Isn't…… isn't this the definition of a standard weapon of mass destruction? I even think the nuclear weapons of the past look weak compared to it!"

"Ahem…… let me say something fair here! Although our country and the Chinese Military are not on friendly terms…… I will speak from a position of fairness and impartiality…… This [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] is truly excessive! Just think about it…… other agricultural Drones just spread fertilizer or spray some pesticides…… but look at this one! Does it look like an agricultural Drone at all? It could be deployed directly to the battlefield without any modifications!"

"Hey, hey, hey…… you guy, is that what you call fair? Your bias is practically leaning all the way over to the US chair! If the Drone Lin Xian built isn't agricultural equipment, then what is it? Is the pest control effect not good enough? Or is the efficiency not high enough? What exactly are you dissatisfied with? Besides…… even if it were a weapon of mass destruction! I think it's much safer in the hands of the Chinese Military than in the hands of the US!"

"But regardless…… this battle will be the most difficult one that the Chinese Military's Director of National Defense, Director Chu Yun…… has ever experienced…… I'm really worried. Can he really come up with a reason to excuse this Drone?"

The entire venue was in chaos!

After all……

For the first time in decades! The concept of weapons of mass destruction had resurfaced! It was truly alarming!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The United Nations Council President picked up the gavel in front of him and struck it three times!

Signaling the entire venue to quiet down!

Afterward……

He adjusted his glasses…… and looked meaningfully at the Chinese Representative sitting on the sofa, Director Chu Yun……

And said slowly:

"Chinese Representative, Mr. Director Chu Yun……"

"Now, please formally answer my question……"

"Regarding the [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] equipment produced by the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory…… and the definition of it being a weapon of mass destruction……"

"Do you admit it?"

Chapter 39 US: Keep bluffing~ Keep bluffing, see if you can trick me into limping!?

Upon hearing the United Nations Council President's words, Director Chu Yun smiled slightly and immediately replied:

"Mr. Council President, I, representing the Chinese Military, state that…… we completely reject Mr. Mike's speculation."

"We maintain our previous argument—all products from the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory are [Agricultural Equipment] designed for agricultural purposes! They are absolutely not military ordnance…… and even less likely to be some ridiculous weapon of mass destruction……"

"The purpose of this [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone]…… Mr. Lin Xian has already clearly demonstrated. It is simply for eliminating pests in farmland…… As everyone saw in the video, the results are quite good."

Heh……

Although Director Chu Yun hadn't yet figured out how to make up a reason to deal with the US's questioning……

But……

How could he admit it was a weapon of mass destruction at a time like this?

Even a fool wouldn't admit it!

If he admitted it, how would he play the game?

He would instantly become an enemy of the world!

Of course……

This reply from Director Chu Yun was naturally within General Mike's expectations!

This was just the first step of his plan……

Advance by retreating!

This was wisdom he had learned from Chinese traditional military strategy……

He also knew that the Chinese Military could not admit that the [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] was a weapon of mass destruction.

But……

The next question!

He would leave the Chinese Military speechless and unable to explain!

By then……

The people of the world would have their own judgment.

Immediately.

General Mike smiled……

With his hands behind his back, he paced on the stage, while sneeringly saying:

"Since the Chinese Representative does not admit that the [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] is a weapon of mass destruction…… fine, then please kindly explain it to us!"

"May I ask…… is it really necessary for an agricultural pest control Drone to be this terrifying? It took only half a second…… to use hundreds of millions of laser beams to instantly kill millions of pests, including flying mosquitoes!"

"Let's imagine…… what kind of terrifying scene would unfold if this [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] flew into a city? I fear…… it would only take one order from the Chinese Military! Hundreds of millions of laser beams would fire instantly! Shooting and killing millions of people"

"I am really curious…… Chinese Representative, if a weapon with million-level lethality doesn't count as a weapon of mass destruction…… then what kind of weapon deserves such a title?"

"I remember…… even the atomic bomb explosion 80 years ago…… only caused 1.8 million civilian deaths…… that number is far less than your [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone]!"

General Mike's words were logical and well-founded.

It left the entire venue in silence……

No one knew how to answer.

After all……

General Mike had truly hit the core issue this time, hitting the most unexplainable aspect: lethality!

The previous Artificial Rainfall Bomb and Agricultural Mecha…… they were indeed very powerful in performance, but in reality…… this strength was [functional], not [lethal]!

The Artificial Rainfall Bomb just flew a bit further and had a stealth function, but it didn't actually have direct lethality.

And the Mecha…… it was only frightening in function, but its threat level was at most that of a few tanks.

It was just about having better climbing ability or some flight capability……

These all fell under the category of functionality and did not have direct lethality.

And precisely because of this!

No matter how the US debated, questioned, or hypothesized that this thing could be modified……

As long as the Chinese Military insisted it was for agricultural use and would not be modified……

The US really had no way to deal with it!

After all……

You couldn't find evidence of them modifying it!

If there is no evidence, and you only make baseless assumptions…… then naturally there is no persuasive power.

But……

This [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] is different!

It doesn't need modification at all……

It possesses terrifying lethality by default!

In half a second…… it can lock onto and annihilate millions of insects…… making the entire chirping summer night go quiet, causing hundreds of thousands of mosquito carcasses to rain down!

These are undeniable facts!

Because of this……

The Chinese netizens in the online livestream chat……

Were truly worried and anxious for Director Chu Yun—

"Oh no…… what should we do! I feel like this time is truly bad! The lethality of this [Pest Control Laser Diffusion Drone] was actually demonstrated before the eyes of the people of the world…… it left no room for Director Chu Yun to maneuver at all! Honestly…… if I weren't Chinese, seeing such exaggerated and terrifying lethality, I would feel scared too!"

"Sigh…… this time it is really hard to handle…… we can all see that Director Chu Yun has been running at full capacity today…… it seems like he really can't make it up anymore! But…… even if he can't make it up, he has to! Because the US has escalated this matter to the stage of weapons of mass destruction! This is no longer a simple military ordnance issue…… this is a major event involving international conventions!"

"That's right…… this point must absolutely not be admitted! We in the Chinese Military have spent so much time…… to build up such a great international image…… if we admit this, it would be equivalent to admitting that we are secretly developing weapons of mass destruction! This…… would instantly lose the international image we have painstakingly built for years! This is simply falling into the US's trap!"

"Director Chu Yun, come on! You are the best! This time…… we can only rely on your wisdom and brain! Oh, I'm so anxious…… my tears are falling! What kind of reason…… what kind of reason can explain clearly—[This Drone that can kill millions of targets in half a second…… is not a weapon of mass destruction…… but a simple piece of agricultural machinery!]"

"Honestly…… even I think explaining this is too ridiculous! This thing itself is a major weapon…… trying to force an explanation that it is agricultural equipment…… is really too hard on Director Chu Yun! How could he possibly make that up! Lin Xian…… you must be more restrained! The country…… the country really can't make it up anymore!"

General Mike's questioning was sonorous and powerful!

The eyes of the whole world were focused on Director Chu Yun……

Director Chu Yun took a deep breath……

He knew.

He had no choice……

He had to face the difficulty head-on!
