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

"It turned out to be someone from the Ministry of Truth! What kind of conspiracy are the guys from the Ministry of Truth going on? Deputy Director Oliveira thought. The Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Public Security have not been very good at dealing with each other, and this is something that everyone knows. After all, there is quite a bit of overlap in their businesses. Since ancient times, peers have been enemies. What's more, there is also the problem of budget competition between them. This makes the contradiction between the two departments almost rise to the point of not sharing the sky, and it is about to be compared with the navy and army of a certain oriental country in later generations.

If the secret activities of the Ministry of Truth can be discovered, the Ministry of Public Security can even cut off the beard. That would probably be very satisfying to Minister Fouché.

Under normal circumstances, Deputy Director Oliveira would not have had a chance to be promoted to director. But if he has made a contribution to this matter, then the position of director does not seem to be out of reach.

However, Deputy Director Oliveira did not try to investigate the matter alone. He was not so arrogant that he felt that he could investigate the activities of the Ministry of Truth on his own, and that the matter had to be reported first.

Deputy Director Oliveira turned around and went directly to the Ministry of Public Security - when it comes to the "Ministry of Truth", the priority and secrecy level are very high, and the relevant information can be directly reported to the Ministry of Public Security.

"What is the Ministry of Truth doing? Most of them found something. But no matter what they're up to, there's definitely nothing wrong with keeping an eye on them. Assistant Minister Leon was quick to get the relevant report and immediately gave such instructions.

The "Ministry of Truth" is indeed engaged in a conspiracy. This is very, very normal, because conspiracies are 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, the people of the Ministry of Truth did find that there were industrial espionage activities near the Fifth Factory, but they had not yet had time to determine whether these industrial spies were foreign industrial spies or domestic industrial spies. Therefore, the whole case is still progressing in accordance with the procedures.

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

As a result, Lu Xien carried out a departmental rectification in the Ministry of Truth, and used spy personnel who were ambushed in the Ministry of Public Security. Then, Fouché also began to rectify the Ministry of Public Security......

Although the rectification of departments is important, the proper work must not be delayed. After all, it's really just about arresting people or something, and the Ministry of Public Security still needs to be more professional. In addition to the fact that the Ministry of Truth has been able to press 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 capable of playing some high-level conspiracies. (At least that's what Lucien thinks)

In England, for example, the conspiracy of the Ministry of Truth is now being carried out in an orderly manner.

In the time since the peace was achieved, the publishing scene in London has been very lively. A large number of French newspapers began to publish their English editions in London.

Among them, there are not only the English version of "Scientific Pravda", which is famous for telling the truth, but also the "Businessman", which mainly provides various economic information, is relatively reliable most of the time, and occasionally makes mistakes because of the rush to grab the news, and the "English version of Popular Entertainment" with the highest goal of entertaining the public, and the "English version of The Sun" that specializes in providing all kinds of lace news, the English version of the comic magazine "Charlie the Woodpecker", and the highly serious and professional "Nature" that specializes in mathematics and basic science. The Lancet, which is dedicated to medical treatment, and so on.

The emergence of this series of newspapers and periodicals has greatly enriched the spiritual and cultural life of the people of London. What's more, all but the last few of these newspapers are generally very cheap. For example, "Science Pravda", as a daily newspaper with four thick sheets of eight-page newspapers, the price of each copy is only four pence, which is not bad when the wrapping paper is bought.

And Scientific Pravda isn't the best deal, and The Businessman of London is a favorite of all kinds of people who need to sleep in a cold room. The newspaper was sixteen pages, but each one contained eight sheets. Of course, as with Scientific Pravda, all but the first of these eight are all sorts of deceptive (mostly) or non-deceptive (very few) advertisements. Moreover, it is cheaper, only three pennies are enough.

Because of their low prices, these two newspapers were very popular as soon as they were published in London. London's newsboys liked to sell the two newspapers together. They put the two newspapers together and ran down the street selling "Today's news is really good, seven pennies will sell two newspapers!" ”

In addition to these two newspapers, the magazines Popular Entertainment and Charlie the Woodpecker were also well received. The latter, in particular, made the English laugh from ear to ear with its political caricature "Yes, Bishop," set in Louis XIII France.

As a result of many years of war, the French and the British did not think very well of each other. The upper echelons of France and England were hostile to each other for competing interests, and the lower echelons of France and England were also hating each other because of propaganda from above.

But "Yes, Bishop", a satirical cartoon based on Richelieu, France's most powerful prime minister, is particularly appealing to the British. Watching the selfish Richelieu in the comics, as well as the stupid nobles around Richelieu, the unself-aware kings, the insatiable clergy, the stupid knights and officials, make a fool of themselves, naturally makes British readers happy.

However, some sensitive Britons have also found that the jokes in "Yes, Bishop" also seem to fit the situation in Britain today. A lot of the plot, a lot of lines are reminiscent of all kinds of things in Britain. Even sometimes the British Prime Minister just made a speech or decision last month, and the next month, a similar story appeared in "Yes, Bishop", but the protagonist became the Frenchman Richelieu. Perhaps only a fool would not see that Richelieu, at least in "Charles the Woodpecker", is not just the Prime Minister of France more than a hundred years ago, he is also the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom today. Not to mention anything else, some of the physical characteristics of Bishop Richelieu in the comics, as well as small movements and so on, are very similar to Prime Minister Addington.

Soon, the current Prime Minister Addington was nicknamed "Bishop of Richelieu". At the beginning, Prime Minister Addington was very proud, after all, Bishop Richelieu, who is one of the greatest figures in European history. But soon he figured out what that meant.

After carefully watching "Yes, Bishop" serialized in "Charlie the Woodpecker", my face was distorted with anger. He almost gave the order to immediately seize Charlie the Woodpecker. If it weren't for the fact that the Whigs were so supportive of his idea in private, he might have done so.

The Whig guys were disappointed that Prime Minister Addington hadn't done anything – and if he did, the big hat for destroying free speech would have been immediately over.

Moreover, some Whig guys have been playing the idea of "Charlie the Woodpecker" for a long time. If "Charlie the Woodpecker" is seized, they plan to get the entire editorial office of "Charlie the Woodpecker" at once, and then get "Richard the Woodpecker" out immediately. At that time, I am afraid that the serialized comic will not be "Yes, Bishop", but directly become "Yes, Prime Minister".

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

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

The style of the Sun in England is no different from that in France, and it has always focused on all kinds of lace news, especially the lace news of the big names. For example, in the French-language edition of The Sun, Lucien is the most frequent French official – he has been featured in the newspaper more than even all other officials above the ministerial level combined.

And in England, the Tories could always find a peachy affair with a Whig guy in the English edition of The Sun; And the Whigs should not feel unfair, for they can always find the unspeakable stories of the Tories and certain people in another, or even another. And they are not very good at refuting rumors, because the more they refute this kind of thing, the more others believe it.

However, the effect of this newspaper in France is not the same as in England. In France, if you tell everyone that Lucien is a pervert and has illegitimate children with many women, everyone will only think that this shows that Lucien is attractive and a good man; But in the future, there will be a "Victorian mentality" in Britain where "upper-class conversations should not involve the waist down, even the piano feet, and should be covered up to avoid bad associations", these things are not necessarily good. In the eyes of the more conservative British, such things only illustrate one thing, and that is moral turpitude.

As for those scientific publications, they are subtly showing the British the civilization of France. Because the remuneration given by these journals is so high, many British scholars have gradually liked to submit their papers to these journals.
