Fox of France

Seeing that "old thief" successfully entered the building of the Ministry of Truth, Deputy Director Oliveira was not only not upset, but even more excited.

"So it's the people from the Ministry of Truth! What kind of conspiracy are the guys from the Ministry of Truth doing?" Deputy Director Oliveira thought. Everyone knows that the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Public Security have not been very responsive. After all, their businesses have a lot of overlap. Since ancient times, peers are enemies. What's more, there is still a budget dispute between them. This makes the contradiction between the two departments almost rise to the point of being irreconcilable, and it is about to be compared with the navy and army of a certain eastern country in later generations.

If the secret activities being carried out by the Ministry of Truth can be discovered, the Ministry of Public Security will even be able to cut off the bullshit. That would probably please Minister Fouché very much.

Under normal circumstances, Deputy Director Oliveira would have no chance to be promoted to Director. But if he made a contribution to this matter, then the position of the chief of the bureau does not seem to be out of reach.

However, Deputy Director Oliveira did not try to investigate the matter alone. He was not arrogant enough to think that he could investigate the activities of the Ministry of Truth by himself, and this matter must be reported first.

Deputy Director Oliveira turned around and went directly to the Ministry of Public Security - matters related to the "Ministry of Truth" have a very high priority and confidentiality level, and the relevant information can be directly reported to the Ministry of Public Security.

"What is the Ministry of Truth doing again? They probably found something. But no matter what they are doing, it must be right to keep an eye on them." Assistant Minister Leon got the relevant report very quickly, and immediately made such a statement instruct.

The "Ministry of Truth" is indeed intriguing. This is very, very normal, because conspiring is one of the most important tasks of the Ministry of Truth, and they are advancing hundreds of conspiracies at the same time every day. However, what is wrong is that the people from the Ministry of Truth did discover that there were industrial espionage activities near the fifth factory, but they had not had time to determine whether these industrial spies were foreign industrial spies or domestic industrial spies. So the whole case is still in progress according to the procedure.

However, at this time, the guys from the Ministry of Public Security suddenly came in, and with lightning speed, they dug out the spy gang all at once. This made Lucien very annoyed, and even wondered if he was another spy from the Ministry of Public Security.

Therefore, Lucien carried out a departmental rectification in the Ministry of Truth, mobilized the spies who were ambushing at the Ministry of Public Security, and one guy dug out several people who were in the Ministry of Truth, but their hearts were in the Ministry of Public Security. The twenty-five sons of the allowance. Then, Fouché also started to rectify the Ministry of Public Security...

Although departmental rectification is important, doing business must not be delayed. After all, the Ministry of Public Security needs to be more professional when it comes to arresting people. The Ministry of Truth has been able to keep on top of the Ministry of Public Security not only because Lucien's surname is Bonaparte, but also because the Ministry of Truth is more capable of playing some high-level conspiracies. (at least Lucien thinks so)

For example, in Britain today, the conspiracy of the Ministry of Truth is being carried out in an orderly manner.

In the time after peace was achieved, the publishing world 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 English version of "Science Pravda", which is famous for telling the truth, and the "** Businessman, as well as the "Mass Entertainment English Edition" with the highest goal of entertaining the public, the "Sun News English Edition" which provides various lace news, the special comic magazine "Woodpecker Charlie English Edition", and the highly serious and Professional "Nature" specializing in mathematics and basic science, "Lancet" specializing in medical treatment, and so on.

The emergence of this series of newspapers 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, "Scientific Pravda", as a daily newspaper with a thickness of four and eight pages, the price of each copy is only four pence, which is not bad to buy back as wrapping paper.

While "Scientific Pravda" is not the most cost-effective, "London Businessman" is the favorite of all kinds of people who need to sleep in a cold room. This newspaper has a 16-page layout, but each copy has eight pages. Of course, like "Scientific Pravda", of these eight pages, except for the first one, the rest of the pages are full of various deceptive (most) or not deceptive (very few) advertisements. Plus, it's cheaper and only costs threepence.

Because of the low price, the two newspapers were very popular when they were published in London. Newsboys in London like to sell these two newspapers together. They put the two newspapers together and ran along the street to sell them: "Today's news is really good, and you can sell two newspapers for seven pennies!"

In addition to the two newspapers, the magazines Popular Entertainment and Charlie the Woodpecker were also critically acclaimed. Especially the latter, it published a political caricature "Yes, Bishop" set in France during the Louis XIII period, which made the British laugh from ear to ear.

As a result of many years of war, the French and the British did not always see each other very well. The upper class in France and the upper class in England hate each other because of the conflict of interests, and the lower class in France and the lower class in England also hate each other because of the propaganda from above.

But "Yes, Bishop", a caricature based on Richelieu, the most powerful prime minister in France, is particularly appealing to the British. Watching the selfish Richelieu in the comics, as well as the stupid nobles around Richelieu, the king without self-knowledge, the greedy priests, the stupid knights, and the officials making a fool of themselves, naturally made British readers overjoyed .

However, some sensitive British people also found that the jokes in "Yes, Bishop" seem to be quite in line with the current situation in Britain. A lot of the plot, a lot of the lines are reminiscent of various things in England. Sometimes the British Prime Minister just made a speech or made a decision last month. In the next month, a similar story appeared in "Yes, Bishop", but the protagonist became the Frenchman Richet Just stay. Maybe only a fool can't see that Richelieu, at least Richelieu in "Charlie the Woodpecker", is not only the prime minister of France more than a hundred years ago, he is also the prime minister of the United Kingdom today. Among other things, some of the appearance and characteristics of Bishop Richelieu in the comics, as well as his small movements, are very similar to Prime Minister Addington.

So soon, the current Prime Minister Addington had the nickname "Bishop Richelieu". At first, 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 it meant.

After carefully reading "Yes, Bishop" serialized on "Charlie the Woodpecker", his face was distorted with anger. He almost gave the order to seize "Charlie the Woodpecker" immediately. He might have done it if it hadn't been for the fact that the Whig fellows were actually very supportive of his idea in private.

The Whig fellows were very disappointed that Prime Minister Addington hadn't done anything - if he had, the blame for violating Free Speech would have been immediately levied.

Besides, some Whig guy had already been thinking of Charlie the Woodpecker. If "Charlie the Woodpecker" was seized, they planned to pack up the entire editorial department of "Charlie the Woodpecker" immediately, and then immediately produce "Richard the Woodpecker". At that time, the serialized comics might not be "Yes, Bishop", but directly become "Yes, Prime Minister".

"I won't be fooled!" Prime Minister Addington said to himself silently.

If "Charlie the Woodpecker" was only hated by the Tories and loved by the Whigs, the Sun really was loved by the whole of Britain. Because spying on the privacy, especially the privacy of public figures, is really a common hobby of human beings. In this respect there is no difference between the English and the French.

The style of the "Sun" in England is no different from that in France. It has always focused on all kinds of gossip, especially the gossip of the big men. For example, on the French version of the "Sun", Lucien is the French senior official with the highest frequency of appearances-he has more opportunities to appear on the Sun than all other officials above the ministerial level combined.

And in England, a Tory can always find an affair with a Whig fellow in the English edition of The Sun; Here and there, and even a few other places, are found the indescribable stories of Tory bigwigs and certain individuals. And they are not very good at dispelling rumors, because the more they dispel rumors, the more others will believe them.

However, the effect of this newspaper in France and the UK is not the same. In France, you tell everyone that Lucien is a pervert and has illegitimate children with many women, and everyone will only think that this shows that Lucien is attractive and a good man; but in the future, "high society conversations cannot involve 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 can only show one point, that is, moral corruption.

As for those scientific publications, they are subtly showing the French civilization to the British. Because the remuneration paid by these journals is very high, many British scholars gradually like to contribute to these journals.
