Only Leader Could Go To Dàguó
The Holy Emperor of the militaristic and isolationist nation Dàguó has invited you to his palace for a state dinner in an attempt to warm decades of frosty relations.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “IT’S A TRAP!” shouts Admiral Jean-Luc de Calamari, a military attaché who seems borderline paranoid. “Isn’t it obvious? They’re only inviting you over there so they can KILL you! They’ll either poison you or stab you in your sleep. Trust me, you can’t trust these Dàguó animals. They will kill you the moment you let your guard down.”
2. “I agree that we shouldn’t go over there,” replies Belinda Plath, your personal chef, who is always dying to experiment with new cuisine. “However, that doesn’t mean we should ourselves embark on a policy of isolationism. Why not invite this Emperor of theirs over here and treat him to a state dinner? There’s much to discuss like their Tasmanian trade sanctions or the steady stream of refugees from the Maxtopian Civil War.”
3. “Dàguó’s leaders have historically denounced our great nation for covert operations that, err, officially, we still deny,” mentions Professor Stan Grossweiner between introductory college lectures. “Meeting with Dàguó’s Holy Emperor would be a perfect way to begin to mend relations. Accept the invitation, respect their customs regardless of how strange they might seem, and act like a real national leader for once! Go out there and start advocating for world peace, and history will thank you.”
4. After repeatedly hitting on your secretary, a somewhat suave secret agent introduces himself as, “Bont … James Bont. Go over to Dàguó on the pretext of a diplomatic mission. Meanwhile, I will pose as a Marche Noirian master chef so I can poison the Emperor’s meal. Once he drops dead, his security is going to suspect foul play, but I’ll be there to extract you back to NATIONSNAME via rocketcar. There’s a chance my scheme will end up causing a war, but if worst comes to worst, I’ve still got my jetpack and exploding attaché case.”
