Chapter 293: Obtaining Intelligence
As the maid lifted the lid on the cart, a series of delicate dishes served on palm-sized plates were served to the banquet table. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A few seconds later, more than twenty plates were densely placed in front of everyone at the banquet table, and the aroma of various dishes came to the face, and the throats of several Andorran ambassadors could not help but squirm, as if swallowing saliva.
"You're welcome, everyone enjoy it, and there will be a second wave of dishes in an hour, and each dish will be tasted lightly." Li Mingze stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot, someone came to serve a drink." Li Mingze suddenly thought of something and clapped his hands violently.
Ten beautiful women walked into the banquet hall with crystal bottles one by one, and with each step of the women, the blue wine in the crystal bottles also rippled, dazzling under the illumination of the light.
"This is a specialty of our Federation, Star Picking Wine, not only the taste is wonderful, but it has no stamina, and it can refresh the mind." Li Mingze made a look, and all the beauties poured wine for the five ambassadors.
In an instant, the rich aroma of wine wafts out of the wine glass, and the mere smell of it can make people feel like a fairy.
This wine is derived from the seeds of countless planetary vines on the dark blue star, and its effect is of course not only as Li Mingze said, it also has a slight hallucinogenic ability, and after combining it with some special seasonings in the dish, the hallucinogenic ability of this wine will become a special ability that makes people involuntarily tell the truth.
"Good wine, good wine." After raising their glasses and taking a sip, the five Andorran ambassadors could not help but praise that if this fine wine were introduced to the Republic of Andorra, it would probably be crushed by all the high-end wineries.
"Don't just drink, come and try the special dishes of our Federation, all made with the best ingredients, such as this bamboo shoot jelly, when selecting only the one millimeter of bamboo shoots with the most perfect condition." Saying that, Li Mingze sucked a small piece of bamboo shoot jelly in front of him into his mouth and chewed it carefully, revealing an intoxicated expression.
Seeing Li Mingze's expression of enjoyment, several Andorran ambassadors raised their utensils one after another.
"Delicious! Delicious! "I've been eating a simple meal made of frozen ingredients on board for fifteen days, and the ambassadors' mouths are about to fade out, and now they suddenly eat such a delicate and delicious food, they can't stop at all.
"Eat slowly, there's more to come." Seeing the five ambassadors bringing the toppings to his mouth, Li Mingze couldn't help but show a mysterious smile.
The Andorran ambassadors would never have imagined that this new human federation would dare to drug them at its first diplomatic conference.
The ambassadors, who had no defense, ate a mouthful of wine and food, and in their stomachs, the special substances in the seeds of the planetary vine mixed with the special ingredients in the dishes, releasing a pheromone that could make people tell the truth.
These pheromones quickly circulate to the brain through the blood vessels in the stomach.
Several Andorran ambassadors had blue filaments in their eyes that were indiscernible to the naked eye.
"Let's get down to business, like let's deepen our understanding of civilizations." Li Mingze estimated the time, and after feeling that the medicine should almost react, he put down his chopsticks and said.
"Yes, yes." The Ambassador of Andorra, who feels very clear-headed, agreed.
"When did you Andorra step into the stars?" Li Mingze asked the first question.
"We in Andorra entered the stars 332 years ago, developed the first hyperspace engine 212 years ago, and established the first colony 156 years ago." The Ambassador of Andorra replied truthfully that such data did not need to be concealed.
"Oh? So how many civilizations have you been exposed to? Has there ever been a foreign war? Li Mingze asked again.
"We have only come into contact with three civilizations so far, and we have not started a foreign war." The Ambassador of Andorra replied.
Li Mingze nodded with satisfaction, this Andorran Republic has not launched a foreign war so far, and it can be seen that it is not a belligerent country, unlike the empire when the fleet was first established and began to frantically wage war against neighboring countries.
"Do you have any invasion plans or conspiracies against our New Human Federation?" Li Mingze squinted his eyes and said the question he wanted to ask the most.
"No, no, our civilization is definitely coming with peace." The ambassador of Andorra hurriedly waved his hand.
"That's good, since we are all peace-loving civilizations, come! Cheers to the friendship of our two civilizations! Li Mingze raised his wine glass and a smile appeared on his face, it seems that this civilization should have no malicious intent.
Subsequently, in a pleasant atmosphere, the Andorran ambassador and the senior leaders of the empire had a series of in-depth and extensive exchanges, deepening the understanding of the two sides in the economic, cultural and military aspects.
When talking about the military power of the Republic of Andorra, the Ambassador of Andorra tried to conceal it, but under the influence of the wine brewed from the vine seeds of the planets, he told the truth.
It was only after he had finished saying that the Ambassador of Andorra realized that he had accidentally told the truth, but he did not doubt it, thinking that he had just said it accidentally in a moment's time.
"Come, come, send the ambassador to their room." Li Mingze beckoned, and the maid on the side hurriedly walked over and helped the Andorran ambassador, who was already a little drunk.
"Total... Your Excellency, we'll be going around tomorrow, so let's not bother yet, I'm... We went back. With that, the Andorran ambassador walked towards the lodgings arranged for them by the Empire, supported by his maids.
However, the high-ranking federal officials who had been drunk returned to normal, and continued to return to the table and sit down at the table with serious expressions.
"We also have a general understanding of the situation in the Republic of Andorra, and the other side will certainly not guess that we have done something to their ambassadors, that is, the information we have obtained is true." Li Mingze raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip.
If the people of the ambassador group were allowed to taste the blue liquid in Li Mingze's wine glass at this time, they would definitely scold the people of the Federation for being cunning, where is this fine wine is simply a drink! He even tricked them into drinking with drinks.
"Yes, Your Majesty, from the information we have obtained, it seems that this Republic of Andorra is a very suitable candidate for us to form an alliance."
"They are not very aggressive, and they are all human beings, we can ally with them through racial ties, and we can have a strong foreign aid in the face of strong enemies." Shen Yahui said to Li Mingze.
"Yes, but we need to speed up the colonization, try to expand our territory and fleet before the alliance is formed, and win more voice!"
"Once the Alliance is formed, we can use the name of the Alliance to expand outward and attract more civilizations to join us."
"When the time comes, we will secretly infiltrate and assimilate!"
"For freedom and peace! Cheers! Li Mingze smiled and raised his glass.
"For freedom and peace!" A knowing smile appeared on everyone's faces.
Three days later, after the Andorran ambassador went deep into the federal city to learn about the real situation of the federation, he said goodbye to the federal officials with a satisfied expression and returned to the Republic of Andorra.
