Chapter 286: Obtaining Information

As the maid opened the lid of the cart, exquisite dishes in palm-sized plates were served on the banquet table.

A few seconds later, more than 20 plates were densely placed in front of each person on the banquet table. The aroma of various dishes was overwhelming, and the throats of several Andorran ambassadors could not help but move, as if they were swallowing saliva.

"Don't be polite, everyone, enjoy it. There will be a second wave of dishes in an hour. Just taste each dish." Li Mingze stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, someone bring the wine." Li Mingze suddenly thought of something and clapped his hands.

Ten beautiful women walked into the banquet hall with crystal bottles. With every step of the women, the blue wine in the crystal bottles rippled, shining brightly under the light.

"This is a specialty of our federation, the star-picking wine. It not only tastes wonderful, but also has no aftereffects. It can refresh the mind." Li Mingze winked, and the beauties filled the wine for the five ambassadors.

Instantly, the rich aroma of wine floated out of the wine glass, and just one sip of it could make people feel ecstatic.

This wine comes from the seeds of countless planetary vines on the Deep Blue Star. Of course, its effects are more than what Li Mingze said. It also has some hallucinogenic ability. When combined with some special seasonings in the dishes, the hallucinogenic ability of this wine will become a special ability that makes people tell the truth involuntarily.

"Good wine, good wine." The five Andorran ambassadors couldn't help but praise after raising their glasses and taking a sip. If this fine wine is introduced into the Republic of Andorra, it is estimated that those high-end wineries will be squeezed out by it.

"Don't just drink, come and try our federation's special dishes, all of which are made of the best ingredients. For example, this bamboo shoot jelly is made from only one millimeter of bamboo shoots with the most perfect appearance." Li Mingze sucked a small piece of bamboo shoot jelly in front of him into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and showed an intoxicated expression.

Seeing Li Mingze's enjoyment, several Andorran ambassadors raised their tableware.

"Delicious! Delicious!" After fifteen days of eating simple meals made from frozen ingredients on board, the ambassadors were almost thirsty. Now they suddenly ate such exquisite and delicious food and couldn't stop eating.

"Eat slowly, there's more to come." Seeing the five ambassadors put the dishes with ingredients into their mouths, Li Mingze couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile.

The Andorran ambassadors would never have thought that this new human federation would dare to drug them in the first diplomatic meeting.

The ambassadors, who had no precautions, ate the food with great pleasure. In their stomachs, the special substances in the seeds of the planetary vines mixed with the special materials in the dishes, releasing a pheromone that could make people tell the truth.

These pheromones quickly circulated to the brain through the blood vessels in the ambassadors' stomachs.

Some blue filaments that were invisible to the naked eye appeared in the eyes of several Andorran ambassadors.

"Let's discuss business, such as deepening the understanding of the civilizations of both sides." Li Mingze estimated the time and put down his chopsticks after feeling that the drug should have taken effect.

"Well, yes." The Andorran Ambassador, who felt that he was still very clear-headed, also agreed.

"When did your Republic of Andorra enter the starry sky?" Li Mingze asked the first question.

"Our Republic of Andorra entered the starry sky 332 years ago, developed the first hyperspace engine 212 years ago, and established the first colony 156 years ago." The Andorran Ambassador answered truthfully. This kind of data does not need to be concealed.

"Oh? Then how many civilizations have you contacted? Have you ever launched a foreign war?" Li Mingze asked again.

"We have only contacted three civilizations so far, and have not launched a foreign war." The Andorran Ambassador replied.

Li Mingze nodded with satisfaction. The Republic of Andorra has not launched a foreign war so far. It can be seen that it is not a warlike country, unlike the Empire, which started to frantically fight against neighboring countries as soon as the fleet was established.

"Have you made any invasion plan for our New Human Federation, or a conspiracy against us?" Li Mingze squinted his eyes and said the question he wanted to ask most.

"No, no, our civilization is definitely here in peace." The Andorran Ambassador waved his hand hurriedly.

"That's good. Since we are both peace-loving civilizations, come! Cheers to the friendship between our two civilizations!" Li Mingze raised his glass with a smile on his face. It seems that this civilization should have no ill intentions.

Then, in a pleasant atmosphere, the Andorran ambassador and the high-level officials of the empire had a series of in-depth and extensive exchanges, deepening their understanding of each other's economy, culture and military.

When talking about the military strength of the Republic of Andorra, although the Andorran ambassador wanted to conceal it, under the effect of the wine made from the seeds of the planetary vine, he told the truth.

After he finished speaking, the Andorran ambassador realized that he had accidentally told the truth, but he did not doubt it, thinking that he just said it accidentally.

"Come on, send the ambassador to their room." Li Mingze waved his hand, and the maid beside him hurried over to help the Andorran ambassador, who was already a little drunk.

"Mr. President, we will go around tomorrow. Don't bother them now. We will go back." After saying that, the Andorran ambassador walked towards the residence arranged by the empire with the help of the maid.

The high-ranking federal officials who were drunk originally returned to normal and sat down at the table with serious expressions.

"We have a general understanding of the situation of the Republic of Andorra. The other party will definitely not guess that we have tampered with their ambassadors. In other words, the information we have obtained is true." Li Mingze raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip.

If the ambassadors tasted the blue liquid in Li Mingze's wine glass at this time, they would definitely curse the people of the Federation for being cunning. This is not a good wine, it's just a drink! They actually used a drink to trick them into drinking.

"Yes, Your Majesty, from the information we have obtained, the 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 form an alliance with them through the bond of race. When facing a strong enemy, we can have a strong foreign aid." Shen Yahui said to Li Mingze.

"Yes, but we have to speed up the colonization and try to expand our territory and fleet before the establishment of the alliance to gain more voice!"

"After the establishment of the alliance, we can expand outward in the name of the alliance and attract more civilizations to join us."

"Then we will secretly infiltrate and assimilate!"

"For freedom and peace! Cheers!" Li Mingze raised his glass with a smile.

"For freedom and peace!" Everyone had a knowing smile on their faces.

Three days later, after the Andorran ambassador went deep into the federal city to understand the true situation of the federation, he said goodbye to the federal officials with a satisfied look and returned to the Republic of Andorra.
