I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[Dum-dum bullets, poison weapons, chemical weapons, and biological weapons were all banned before World War II. ]

[Therefore, during World War II, Japan's use of poison gas weapons and bacterial weapons against my country was itself a violation of International Law. ].

The barrage flew out:

"International law can only restrain people, not ghosts."

"Japan is a country of beasts, and naturally will not abide by international law."

"..."

See here.

Many emperors in the past dynasties had a huge killing intention in their hearts.

They decided to further accelerate the pace of destroying Japan.

……

[In 1980, countries adopted the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons in Geneva, the full name of which is the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or Inciting. 】

[There are five additional protocols to the Convention, of which the first four restrict undetectable fragments, mines and naval mines, incendiary weapons, laser blinding weapons, etc. 】

[The fifth regulates the handling of explosive remnants of war. 】

[my country has also signed and ratified the Convention and all five additional protocols, so it is a full signatory. 】

[Someone may ask here, isn't white phosphorus an incendiary weapon? Why did you say at the beginning that it was not explicitly banned? 】

[Because incendiary weapons are restricted in use, not completely banned. 】

[The requirement is that they cannot be used against civilians or in civilian settlements, and they cannot be used to destroy the environment as the main goal. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"White phosphorus bombs have too strong burning ability. The temperature can reach over 1000 degrees Celsius when burning, and it is difficult to extinguish."

"Reply-it is also highly toxic. 50 mg of white phosphorus is enough to kill people, and the thick smoke emitted can also cause suffocation and permanent respiratory damage."

"..."

Accompanied by subtitles.

A video of white phosphorus bombs exploding and burning on the battlefield was inserted into the high-altitude giant screen.

The ancients of all dynasties were shocked by the huge lethality it caused on the battlefield.

This weapon is so terrifying!

Warring States plane.

Bai Qi looked at the high-altitude giant screen with shining eyes.

What a good thing!

What is too cruel, inhumane, etc., is not within his consideration at all.

On the contrary, he thinks that as a weapon on the battlefield, the stronger the lethality, the better.

……

[For example, landmines. Currently, the main restrictions are on anti-personnel mines. ]

[Why do we do this? ]

[Because anti-personnel mines not only cause limb mutilation, but also make it impossible for civilians to farm and live normally in the mine-laying area. ]

[In the past few years, our country has also been carrying out mine clearance work in border areas, clearing a large number of mines that may be older than you and me. ]

The barrage flew out:

“To the mine-clearing warriorsSalute, it's not easy. "

"Ah, this work is too dangerous, the soldiers are too hard."

"There were originally 650 minefields and millions of mines on the border between our country and Jiaozhi. Now there are only 50 left. I hope they can all be cleared soon."

"..."

The ancients of all dynasties, especially some ancients after the Southern Song Dynasty, were even more frightened.

Because the prototype of the mine, the "Zhentian Lei", had already appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Many ancients after that had a certain understanding of the power of this weapon.

In their eyes, the place where millions of mines were buried was too dangerous and terrifying.

It was a place where one would die.

...

[The Chinese government also responsibly fulfilled its international obligations, stopped deployment, suspended exports, conducted a comprehensive census, and incorporated the contents of the protocol into military training and Assessment outline, this is a typical case of "International Law" being transformed into domestic norms. 】

[In 2008, more than 100 countries passed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which aims to completely ban the use of cluster munitions. 】

[However, due to various reasons, Dragon Country, Eagle Sauce Country, Bear Country, India, Pakistan and other countries have not yet joined this convention. 】

[The current position of the Chinese government is that it is necessary to consider both humanitarian concerns and the legitimate military security needs of various countries, which is also a very reasonable demand. 】

Barrage flew out:

"No problem, cluster bombs are conventional weapons and can be legally owned."

"Cold knowledge: These signatory countries are basically countries that cannot produce cluster munitions."

"England Sauce Country is the country that uses cluster munitions the most, and this type of ammunition is used in every large-scale war."

"If you don't understand, just ask, what kind of weapon is a cluster bomb? ”

“Reply - It is actually a kind of cluster bomb. Each mother bomb carries many sub-bombs. Once dropped, the sub-bombs will scatter in the air, forming a strike network covering a wide area. ”

“Reply - Cluster bombs have extremely high strike and destruction efficiency and a wide range of applications. Countries that are capable of manufacturing them will not agree to ban their use. ”

“…”

Daqin plane.

Qin Shi Huang’s face was calm and indifferent. This situation was normal in his opinion.

How could a country that was capable of manufacturing such a powerful and widely used weapon pay attention to those countries that were not capable of manufacturing and banned it?

Wouldn’t that be self-defeating?

No one would be so stupid.

…

[There are many similar disarmament conventions under negotiation or in the process of continuous development.]

[For example, countries have recently been exploring whether autonomous weapon systems should be restricted, such as whether artificial intelligence can be used for military purposes? Does the use of drones need to be regulated?]

[For example, many experts believe that allowing autonomous weapons to be controlled by machine learning algorithms is very dangerous because of its unpredictable nature., self-written, but there is no "international law" to restrict it. 】

[This is what we often say, the development of "international law" is lagging behind. 】

[If biological and chemical weapons are illegal as weapons of mass destruction, then are the existence and use of nuclear weapons illegal? 】

……

Hearing this question.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were inspired.

This is exactly the question they have been thinking about and are very curious about.

So the ancients stared at the giant screen in the sky, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

……

[In 1996, the International Court of Justice once made an advisory opinion on this. 】

[It is believed that although there is no comprehensive and universal prohibition against the threat or use of nuclear weapons, generally speaking, the threat or use of nuclear weapons is a violation of the rules of international law applicable in armed conflicts. 】

[However, the International Court of Justice cannot determine whether it is legal or illegal for a country to threaten or use nuclear weapons in an extreme situation where it needs to defend itself at the critical moment of life and death? 】

[So far, it can be said that this issue is still a mess. 】

The barrage flew out:

"The United Nations adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which came into effect on January 22, 2021. However, all nuclear-weapon states and the allies of the Eagle Sauce Country did not participate in the negotiation and signing of the treaty."

"Reply-this treaty is too unrealistic. Some non-nuclear countries want to completely ban nuclear weapons. Isn't this a fantasy?"

"Reply-in fact, there is a saying that it is precisely because of nuclear deterrence that the world has maintained general peace for so many years."

"Reply-there is some truth in saying this."

"..."

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

The situation is roughly the same as what he had guessed.

To put it bluntly, the five permanent members are the largest nuclear-armed countries in the future. If these five countries disagree, no matter what treaty banning nuclear weapons is, it is just a piece of paper and has no actual binding effect.

And he was not surprised by the attitude of the five permanent members.

No matter who is in the position of the five permanent members, they will not agree to ban nuclear weapons.

……

[Finally, even weapons that can be used are subject to restrictions when they are traded internationally. ]

[For example, my country recently officially joined the "Firearms Protocol", which is an international treaty that restricts the control of firearms. ]

[A little-known fact is that the United States has always refused to join this protocol. ]

[What we are talking about today is actually international disarmament and arms control issues. In my country, it is under the jurisdiction of the Arms Control Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can find relevant international treaties that my country has joined on the official website. ]

[See you next time. 】

……

The last paragraph of the conclusion is over.

The entire video is also finished.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[Manufacturing biological weapons, producing carcinogenic herbicides, and attempting to rule the world with seeds - how does the world's most evil company poison the world? ]

……

As soon as the title of this new video appeared on the giant screen in the sky, it instantly aroused the interest of many ancient people from all dynasties.

They had just seen the weapons banned by "International Law", including biological weapons.

And a business, oh no, it was called a company in later generations, dared to produce such banned weapons, which they thought was really bold.

And the point of "attempting to rule the world" is also a point that many ancient people are interested in.

How can a mere company have the courage to have such ambitions?

……

[It has existed for 117 years, but has only done one thing: harming the world. 】

[It is known as the world's most evil company and has been boycotted by 52 countries and 436 cities. 】

[Its creed is that making money is above everything, even life. 】

[It is Monsanto. 】

[Because of its bad reputation, when a weather data company was acquired by Monsanto, the company's CEO was criticized by everyone: How could you sell yourself to Monsanto? 】

[Not only did the CEO feel guilty and ashamed when he announced it to his subordinates, but he was also worried that he would be beaten up by his subordinates at any minute. 】

[Even the CEO's father shook his head at his son's decision: I used to think you were a man with dreams, but I didn't expect you to be such a person! You actually sold the company to Monsanto! 】

[So, what kind of company is Monsanto, and what did it do that angered the heavens and the people? Why is its reputation so bad that other companies feel so ashamed to sell to it? 】

【Today, let's take a closer look at this most evil company in the world. 】

……

After reading this preface.

The ancient people of all dynasties were shocked.

They didn't expect that a company's reputation could be so bad.

What heinous crimes did this company do to be hated so much?

The ancient people became more interested in Monsanto.

……

【In 1901, in St. Louis, a big city east of Missouri, the United States of America, a small drugstore businessman named John Queeny took the 20,000 US dollars given by his wife and established a company named Monsanto after his wife's surname. 】

【This wife who wholeheartedly supported her husband's career would never have thought that many years later, her surname would become a synonym for evil and terror, and would be completely cursed and spurned by people, leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Quinny's wife: Listen to me and say thank you."

"If his wife knew, the coffin lid would definitely not be able to hold down."

"..."

Looking at the huge screen in the sky, many ancient people in the past dynastiesI even felt a little sympathy for John Queeny's wife.

This is an infamy that will be passed down through the ages!

The key is that John Queeny's wife has not done anything, but she has been cursed out of thin air.

It's really miserable.

……

[The first product Monsanto targeted was saccharin. ]

[This artificial crystal extracted and synthesized from black and smelly coal tar was accidentally invented by chemists in an experiment in 1879. ]

[Saccharin is not only white and shiny, pleasing to the eye, but also sweet to the point of bursting, and its sweetness is 500 times that of sucrose. ]

……

A synthetic video of saccharin extraction was inserted into the high-altitude giant screen.

The ancients of all dynasties were stunned and exclaimed that it was magical.

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was very greedy. As a person who likes sweets, he wanted to taste what it felt like to be 500 times sweeter than sugar.

……

[It was really this magical sweet magic that made saccharin popular in the market as soon as it was launched and received great popularity. ]

[However, at that time, only Hans Leopard Country, which held the patent, could produce saccharin. If other countries wanted to use it, they had to import it from Hans Leopard Country. ]

[But Monsanto relied on the long distance and the imperfect patent enforcement at that time, and directly played rogue and started to do saccharin business by imitating and copying. ]

……

"Shameless!"

Many craftsmen from all dynasties cursed in their hearts.

They were the ones who cared most about this kind of thing.

And, they were actually a little envious of the patent protection system of later generations.

In ancient China, due to the lack of normative and institutional legal provisions, folk craftsmen usually adopted the strategy of secret recipes to protect their patent rights.

Such as "pass it on to sons but not daughters", "pass it on to family members but not outsiders", etc., anyway, all kinds of precautions.

If their respective dynasties could also have the patent protection laws of later generations, then they would not have to worry about this every day.

……

[Hans Leopard's saccharin manufacturers were so angry that their mouths were crooked. In order to suppress Monsanto, they not only greatly reduced the price of saccharin, but also ran around to appeal to countries to boycott and punish Monsanto's bad infringement. ]

[Under the double blow of reputation and market, the newly born Monsanto was on the verge of bankruptcy. ]

……

"It's what you deserve!"

Seeing Monsanto's misfortune, many craftsmen in all dynasties gloated over it.

……

[However, the beverage giant Coca-Cola saved Monsanto. It decided to cooperate with Monsanto and buy Monsanto's saccharin to add to its own products. ]

[With the support of Coca-Cola, Monsanto quickly turned around. ]

[Soon after the outbreak of World War I, the relationship between Europe and the United States became very delicate. The United States, which no longer imported saccharin from Hans Leopard, became Monsanto's exclusive market. ]

[In this way, relying on the rogue act of infringing on the patent rights of saccharin, Monsanto completed the capitalPrimitive accumulation also embarked on the evil journey of spreading sin to the world. 】

……

The eyes of ancient people in all dynasties looking at the giant screen in the sky became more focused.

Although Monsanto's means of starting out were a bit rogue, it was not a heinous crime.

Obviously, it was the evil things Monsanto did later that brought Monsanto those bad names.

And what exactly were these things?

The ancients became more and more curious.

……

[After making the first pot of gold, Monsanto quickly extended its claws to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). 】

[This is a synthetic organic compound with a wide range of uses in industry and can also be used as an additive for a variety of industrial products. 】

[But at the same time, PCBs are extremely harmful. They are a type of carcinogen that is extremely difficult to decompose and can easily cause a variety of diseases in the brain, internal organs and skin. 】

【What's more terrifying is that PCB in the mother's body can also be transferred to the fetus through the placenta. 】

【As the producer, Monsanto is well aware of its toxicity. 】

【According to Monsanto's declassified internal documents, as early as 1937, they knew that contact with PCBs would lead to systemic toxic reactions. 】

【But in order to make huge profits, Monsanto chose to conceal the truth, regardless of the consequences, expand production, and carry out the crime to the end. 】

【The town of Aniston in the United States has become a well-known death town because Monsanto produces PCBs here, and the cancer incidence rate ranks first in the United States. 】

……

"It's so abominable!"

Some ancient people from all dynasties were shocked and immediately cursed.

This Monsanto actually knowingly produced poisons, it's really greedy!

Although some other ancient people thought that Monsanto's move was excessive, they did not react strongly, because after all, it was a foreign matter and had nothing to do with China.
