Chapter 247: , The conspiracy of the Ministry of Truth

Seeing that "old thief" successfully entered the Ministry of Truth building, Deputy Director Oliveira was not upset, but even more excited.
"It turns out to be from the Ministry of Truth! The guys from the Ministry of Truth, what are they doing?" Deputy Director Oliveira thought. Everyone knows that the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Public Security have not dealt much with it. After all, their businesses overlap a lot. Since ancient times, colleagues have been enemies. What's more, there is still a budget dispute between them. This is even more so that the contradiction between the two departments has almost risen to the point where it is not shared, and it is about to compare with the navy and army of a certain eastern country in later generations.
If the secret activities of the Ministry of Truth can be discovered, the Ministry of Public Security will even be able to cut a fool. That would probably please Minister Fouché very much.
Under normal circumstances, Deputy Director Oliveira has no chance to be promoted to Director. But if you have done something in this matter, then the position of the director does not seem to be out of reach.
However, Deputy Chief Oliveira did not attempt to investigate the matter alone. He has not been arrogant enough to feel that he can investigate the activities of the Ministry of Truth by himself. This matter must be reported first.
Deputy Director Oliveira turned around and went directly to the Ministry of Public Security - things involving the "Ministry of Truth" have very high priority and confidentiality levels, and can directly report relevant information to the Ministry of Public Security.
"What is the Ministry of Truth doing? They probably discovered something. But no matter what they are doing, it must be right to keep an eye on them." Assistant Minister Leon quickly got the relevant report and immediately made this Instructions.
The "Ministry of Truth" is indeed conspiring. This is very, very normal, because conspiracy is originally one of the most important tasks of the Ministry of Truth, and they carry out hundreds of conspiracies at the same time every day. But what is crooked is that the people from the Ministry of Truth have indeed discovered industrial espionage activities near the fifth factory, but they have not had time to determine whether these industrial spies are foreign industrial spies or domestic industrial spies. Therefore, the entire case is still advancing in accordance with the procedures.
However, at this moment, the guy from the Ministry of Public Security suddenly came in, and with lightning speed, a guy dug out the spy gang all at once. Lucien was so annoyed that he even wondered if he was another spy from the Ministry of Public Security.
Therefore, Lucien organized a departmental reorganization in the Ministry of Truth and used the spies who were ambushing at the Ministry of Public Security. A guy dug up several people who were in the Ministry of Truth, and their hearts were in the Ministry of Public Security. Two or five of the allowance. Then Fouché also started the rectification of the Ministry of Public Security...
Although departmental reorganization is important, doing business must not be delayed. After all, the Ministry of Public Security still needs to be more professional if it is really just playing arresting people. The Ministry of Truth has been able to keep pressing on the head of the Ministry of Public Security. In addition to Lucien’s surname, Bonaparte, a more important reason is that the Ministry of Truth is more likely to play some high-level conspiracies. (At least Lucien thinks so)
For example, in Britain, the Ministry of Truth conspiracy is being carried out in an orderly manner.
In the time after peace was achieved, the publishing industry in London can be said to be very lively. A large number of French newspapers began to publish their English editions in London one after another.
Among them are the "Science Pravda English Edition", which is famous for telling the truth, and the "Businessman", which mainly provides various economic information, which is relatively reliable most of the time. "", "Popular Entertainment English", which has the highest goal of entertaining the public, "The Sun English Edition", which specializes in providing various lace news, a special comic magazine "Charlie Woodpecker English Edition", and highly serious and professional "Nature" which specializes in mathematics and basic science, "Lancet" which specializes in medical treatment, etc.
The appearance of this series of newspapers has greatly enriched the spiritual and cultural life of the people of London. More importantly, except for the last few, these newspapers are generally very cheap. For example, "Science Pravda", as a daily newspaper with as many as four octagonal newspapers, actually only costs four pence for each copy, which is not bad to buy back as packaging paper.
And "Science Pravda" is not the most cost-effective, "London Businessmen" is a favorite of all kinds of people who need to sleep in a cold room. This newspaper has 16 pages, but each copy has eight pages. Of course, like the "Science Pravda", in these eight pages, except for the first, the other pages are all deceptive (most) or non-deceptive (very few) advertisements. Moreover, it is cheaper, only three pence is enough.
Because of their low prices, these two newspapers became popular as soon as they were published in London. Newsboys in London like to sell these two newspapers together. They put these two newspapers together and ran along the street to sell them: "Today's news is really good. Two newspapers for seven pennies!"
In addition to these two newspapers, the magazines "Popular Entertainment" and "Charlie the Woodpecker" are also well received. Especially the latter, the political caricature "Yes, the Bishop" published in France during the time of Louis XIII made the British laugh from ear to ear.
As a result of years of war, the views between the French and the British have not been very good. The upper class in France and the upper class in Britain hate each other for the fight for interest, and the lower class in France and the lower class in Britain also hate each other because of the above propaganda.
But "Yes, the Bishop", a caricature based on Richelieu, France's most powerful prime minister, has an exceptional appetite for the British. Reading comics, the selfish Richelieu, and the stupid nobles around Richelieu, kings without self-knowledge, insatiable priests, stupid knights, and officials who make a fool of themselves, naturally make British readers happy. .
However, some sensitive British people have also discovered that the jokes in "Yes, the Bishop" seem to fit the situation in Britain today. Many plots and lines remind people of various things in Britain. Even sometimes the British Prime Minister just made a speech last month and decided what he did. Then next month, a similar story appeared in "Yes, the Bishop", but the protagonist became the Frenchman Richey. Just stay. Perhaps only a fool can not see that Richelieu, at least Richelieu in "Charlie the Woodpecker", is not just the Prime Minister of France more than 100 years ago, he is also the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom now. Apart from other things, Bishop Richelieu in the comics resembles Prime Minister Addington in some of his appearance and minor actions.
So soon, the current Prime Minister Addington has the nickname "Bishop Richelieu". At the beginning, Prime Minister Addington was very proud. After all, Bishop Richelieu was one of the greatest figures in European history. But soon he figured out what this meant.
After carefully watching "Yes, the Bishop" serialized on "Charlie Woodpecker", his face was distorted with anger. He almost gave the order to seal "Charlie Woodpecker" immediately. If it wasn't for the fact that the Whig guys were very supportive of his ideas in private, he might have done it.
The Whig guys were very disappointed that Prime Minister Addington did not take any action-if he did, then the big label of undermining freedom of speech could be deducted immediately.
Moreover, some Whig guys have been playing the idea of ​​Charlie the Woodpecker. If "Charlie the Woodpecker" is blocked, they plan to pack up the editorial office of the entire "Charlie Woodpecker" immediately, and then immediately get a "Richard Woodpecker" out. At that time, the comics serialized might not be "Yes, the Bishop", but directly became "Yes, the Prime Minister."
"I won't be fooled!" Prime Minister Addington said to himself silently.
If "Charlie the Woodpecker" was only hated by the Tory Party and loved by the Whig Party, the "Sun" really got the love of the British up and down. Because spying on privacy, especially the privacy of public figures, is really a common hobby of mankind. At this point, there is no difference between the British and the French.
There is no difference between the style of "The Sun" in Britain and that in France~EbookFREE.me~ has been focusing on all kinds of lace news, especially the lace news of big names. For example, in the French version of "The Sun", Lucien is the most frequent French high-ranking official-he has more chances to appear in the Sun than all other officials above ministers combined.
In the UK, the Tories can always find the whigs of a certain Whig guy in the English version of The Sun; and the Whigs should not feel unfair, because they can always Unspeakable stories of the big figures of the Tory Party and certain people can be found everywhere, and even in other places. And they are not very good at dispelling rumors, because the more you dispel rumors of this kind of thing, the more others believe.
However, the effect of this newspaper in France and the United Kingdom is not the same. In France, you tell everyone that Lucien is a pervert, and many women have illegitimate children. Everyone will only think that this shows that Lucien is attractive and a good man; but in the future there will be "high-class conversations that cannot be involved Below the waist, the piano feet should also be covered to avoid bad associations. In the "Victorian mentality" of Britain, these things are not necessarily good things. In the eyes of the more conservative British, such a thing only shows one thing, that is, moral corruption.
As for those scientific publications, they are subtly showing to the British the French civilization. Because the remuneration of these publications is very high, many British scholars gradually like to contribute to these publications.
