The Paris Import and Export Commodities Fair is about to start in a month, and this matter has become an important matter for the Ministry of Truth, both at home and abroad, and the Ministry of Truth will widely publicize this matter. It is necessary to promote this event as the most important event in Europe.

Internally, it is necessary to talk a lot about what kind of benefits this Pakistan trade fair can bring to people of all walks of life in the country.

"For the peasants, we have to publicize, because of the existence of the Pakistani Trade Fair, they - no, remember, when publicizing to them, we must use less 'they' and 'you' and more 'we', and we must also add the contrast between the bitterness of the past and the sweetness of the present - for example, we can publicize that in the past, after we had a bumper harvest, we could not eat enough grain, we pulled it to the market to sell, but there was a bumper harvest everywhere, and the market was full of grain, so our grain could not be sold at a good price. If we don't sell it, it will cost a lot of money to save it. If we buy it, it seems that we will suffer again.

If it was in the kingdom, those nobles and profiteers would collude together to lower the price of our grain, and many times, even if it was a bumper harvest, more grain would be harvested, and in the end it would be sold, and the money that could be obtained would be less. Then they either hoarded the grain and sold it at a high price in time of famine, or loaded it onto ships and shipped it to foreign countries to sell it for money. We worked hard to grow so much food, and the benefits were taken away by them!

But now it's okay, the First Consul is not like those bad things, he is really our own man! Spring ploughing and summer hoeing think of waterlogging prevention and drought resistance. Of course, he knew that it was not easy for us peasants, so he set up such a fair, and we could sell more grain directly to foreign countries. There are no aristocrats and middlemen to make the difference, and the money we get is our own.

What, what if you say that foreign countries also have a good harvest? Brothers, foreign, do they have pumps? Do they have a power station? And most importantly, do they have a first consul like us? They have nothing, just a large group of noble lords who are the same as we used to be. What do you say they take every year? Well, remember it all, right? ”

At a meeting of the Ministry of Truth, Lucien was giving instructions to his subordinates. The subordinates also held paper and pens and recorded them with brushes and brushes.

"Also, we have to get the propaganda of foreign countries to get the British, the Dutch, the Germans, the Spaniards, the Russians, the Turks, the Americans...... Let the entire civilized world know about this event, and everyone knows that you can find an opportunity to make a fortune by coming here. You have to find a way to portray this event as more appealing, to portray it as if you were attending this event, like ...... It's like Ali Baba walked into that treasure house, no, the treasure house of a few bandits can have a little more money, it should be the treasure house of Alexander the Great! ”

The Ministry of Truth issued a directive, and the French newspapers, especially those published in foreign countries, of course did their best to publicize the Pakistan Trade Fair.

For example, in London, while the British newspapers were still busy attacking each other, the French newspaper "London Businessman" had already put its main force on promoting the "Pakistan Fair." These days, "London Businessman" has added two more pages, in addition to the front page, the rest of the content is almost about the "Pakistan Fair" (in fact, there is a lot of related content on the front page).

Some of them are direct advertisements for goods, such as all kinds of wines, all kinds of metal products, most of these advertisements do not directly give prices, but use the phrase "good quality and low price, beyond imagination" to seduce the interest of merchants. Some are so-called "knowledge popularization" and even have some drawings to popularize some knowledge about various commodities, such as various categories of wine and how to choose good wine; For example, the differences in the materials of various metal products, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Then there is the introduction of products from all over the continent, as well as basic business information.

For example, this year, there will be a bumper grain harvest in France, and the price of grain may fall, and because of the influence of fashion, wool products may be popular in France this year......

Science Pravda, on the other hand, paid more attention to reporting on the event from the perspective of big data. It tells that almost all of Europe today will gather all kinds of goods, all kinds of merchants, here. Just considering that during the Chamber of Commerce, it is easier to obtain information about various commodities, which can greatly reduce the cost of trade and make more money.

The news of the "Pakistan Fair" quickly attracted the attention of all kinds of businessmen, and the eyes of all kinds of businessmen widened. Whether they were pro-peace or war-pro-war, whether they were trading textiles or arms, their attention was drawn to the "Pakistan Fair", and even the firepower of the attacks between the English Press Union and the English Free Press Union was weakened - after all, no matter which side of the people, making money came first. Even arms dealers wonder if they can take this opportunity to export some arms to Europeans.

However, the British Admiralty was in a panic at this time, because in the advertising page of the latest issue of "London Businessman", a portrait of French weapons appeared.

On this page, there are advertisements for all kinds of weapons of the French, including front-loading rifled guns that the British are already familiar with, all kinds of mines, all kinds of melons, all kinds of artillery, and a thing that has only pictures, but no textual descriptions.

"Isn't this our mine?" The others didn't recognize what it was, but the Admiralty guys could see what it was at a glance.

"It's very similar, but it's a little different. We have ten trigger fuses on our mines, and there are only eight on this one. But the others are really similar, the same anchor chain, or even the same fuse with the same installation pattern! This...... What's going on? ”

Indeed, the mysterious unspecified weapon painted on "The London Businessman" looks too much like the mines of the British. If you analyze this with palette software, you can definitely get a plagiarized stone hammer. But now the question is

"How did the French get this technique!"

The Admiralty was well aware of what this technique meant for Britain when it fell into the hands of the French.

The British can use this thing to blockade the coast of Ireland, and the French can use this thing to blockade the British coast. It is true that the French Navy does not have the ability to compete with the British Navy for sea supremacy, but the French Navy has many other means that the British Navy has no way to do. Say, the high-speed warships of the French.

Until now, the British Navy had not been able to crack the mystery of the propulsion technology of the French steamships, which meant that the British could hardly intercept them. The French could use these high-speed steamboats to lay mines off the coast of England and even near British ports.

Of course, the British can also mine near the ports of the French, whether they are on the Atlantic side of the port or near the port on the Mediterranean side, but France is far less dependent on the port than the British, not to mention, France can also use the ports of those "allied countries", and if the British also carry out offensive mines on these ports, it will really be self-isolation from Europa.

So, until an efficient mine-clearing technique could be developed, the plan to blockade Ireland with mines would have to be thrown into a locker and locked up. And minesweeping, I don't know how much more difficult than minesweeping. Even in the XXI century, the most primitive anchor mines are enough to threaten the most advanced warships, and even the most advanced minesweepers. Therefore, in order to come up with efficient and reliable mine-clearing technology, even if Joseph does not care about anything from then on, and does this with all his heart, it will not be solved in his lifetime.

Compared with efficient mine-sweeping technology, the more important thing for the British today is to find out how the secrets about the mines were leaked. The British, of course, knew that the existence of mines had been leaked because of the problems of a certain madman, but in the article of that madman, there was no mention of key technical means.

The Admiralty has also been tracking down the person who leaked the information to the madman, and according to the Admiralty's inference, this person is most likely not a French spy, because if the French spy knew about it, he would have reported it directly to the French, and there was no need to play these tricks. So they were more inclined to do it by the British, who didn't want the war to affect their business. But now, that inference seems less credible. After all, who would have thought that there was a guy on the French side who had crossed over and had the special function of getting pregnant at a glance.

It's like a question on a certain website, if you take the current Red Rabbit Country and travel to before the disintegration of the woolly bear, and then fight with the hairy bear with conventional weapons, what will be the result? The answer is that the most direct result, of course, is that the entire Sukhoi Design Bureau was dragged out and shot by the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Woolly Bear. Today, the British also feel that their institute is full of French spies.

"There's a French spy in our Admiralty! We've got to dig him out and put him to the test on a mine! Or cut into small pieces to feed the sharks! Lord William, Lord Chancellor of the Admiralty, almost fainted with breath when he heard the news, and then let out such a roar.

Lord William's anger is completely justified, something like this happened in the Admiralty, someone must take responsibility, even if that damn traitor can be dug up and dealt with, this leak will not be like this. I'm afraid that soon, he will have to "bravely take responsibility" and go home to receive his pension.

Soon, the king also found out, and said something like this: "All those who have access to this technical information must be checked, no matter who is involved, to the end!" Britain will never allow a traitor to go unpunished! ”
