The efficiency of the Ministry of Truth is not particularly high, especially when it comes to dealing with things that they have a monopoly on and the Ministry of Public Security cannot intervene in, and they are like all bureaucracies, always procrastinating. It can be delayed until the afternoon, and it will never be solved in the morning; If you can put it off until tomorrow, you will never do it today.

To say that the propaganda of public opinion against the United States was originally something that the Ministry of Public Security could not intervene in at all, so although Lucien's principles had been set, it was still quite far from being truly in full swing, until one day Lucien got a report.

This is a report of a very high level of secrecy, and few people in the entire Ministry of Truth, and indeed in the whole of France, except Lucien, are qualified to read it. Even Napoleon, including Joseph, could not see the report, and did not even know that it existed. In the whole of France, there are said to be only two reports of this high level of secrecy, one in the Ministry of Truth and one in the Ministry of Public Security.

The report from the Ministry of Truth is titled "Research and Judgment on the Recent Actions of the Ministry of Public Security." We have reason to believe that the title of the report from the Ministry of Public Security is mostly "Research and Judgment on the Recent Actions of the Ministry of Truth." In general, hostilities between departments with overlapping functions are always very serious. Even all other enemies will be secondary. It's like the Navy Red Deer and the Army Red Deer, or like the Military Control Bureau and the Central Control Bureau.

"Peterson, make a phone call, and call Gaiting, Victor, and Beckron at once. Let them put down what they are doing at once, and come here to see me at once, immediately, immediately, as fast as lightning! ”

Although Lucien asked the guys to come immediately, it still took a lot of time on the road. In addition, it was the rush hour for the end of the day, (Lucien used to start work from the afternoon, or even the evening), so it took several people an hour to get to Lucien. However, this also has the advantage that Lucien has basically controlled his emotions.

"Look at this." When everyone was seated, Lucien pulled out a piece of paper from the folder for everyone to see.

Everyone circulated the paper one by one. Lucien waited for everyone to finish reading, then put the paper back in the file bag, and then said, "Everyone has finished reading, what do you think?" ”

Beckron, who is in charge of intelligence in North America, immediately said: "They are robbing us of our jobs!" According to the division of labor, we are responsible for cultural matters, and they will ruin our plans by running in and messing around. ”

"They're going to talk about religious things, and they're going to have authority. That's what they're going to say. Gaiting said.

"These guys from the Ministry of Public Security are really shameless, as long as they can be shameless, they will definitely be shameless." "I've never seen anyone so brazen. ”

Everyone scolded the Ministry of Public Security for being a bastard, and Fuhe was a stinky and shameless chameleon.

Lucien sat on the sidelines and watched as everyone spat and curse the Ministry of Public Security. After everyone scolded for a while, he spoke: "You all scold from this afternoon to dawn tomorrow, can you scold Fu Xie?" ”

So everyone stopped.

"Alright, now let's discuss what to do." Lucien said.

On the piece of paper just now, it was written that their people noticed that the guys from the Ministry of Public Security had sent a lot of spies to North America through means such as priest training. They may even have learned what the Ministry of Truth is going to do next—which is not surprising, because just as the Ministry of Truth has regarded the Ministry of Public Security as its first enemy, the Ministry of Public Security has always regarded the Ministry of Truth as its greatest enemy. It is said that if anyone in the Ministry of Truth can get his hands on the secret documents in the drawer of Little Pitt (the British Prime Minister), he will surely be praised by Minister Lucien; But if anyone could get their hands on the secret documents in Fouche's drawer, they would surely become Minister Lucien's most relied on confidant. Of course, on Minister Fouche's side, the same is true.

Victor thought for a moment and said, "The guys from the Ministry of Public Security have already moved. What we are going to do is a conspiracy, and it is impossible to hide it from Minister Fuche, who is too cunning for the old fox. So, Your Excellency, I think we should do both.

On the one hand, His Excellency the Minister should go to the First Consul and explain in detail our plans and the First Consul, and further enlist his support; On the other hand, we also need to speed up our movements. His Excellency the First Consul has always been a quick temper, and even if we had the support of the First Consul, would the First Consul listen to Minister Fuchet's request to make less small moves? Of course, he will listen on the surface, but he will never really stop and not do anything about stealing credit from us, or even digging holes for us. It's like if the First Consul asks us not to trouble the Ministry of Public Security and not to dismantle their platform, we will only agree on the surface, but in fact, we still have to do what we should do, at most we will do it in a more subtle way. But if you do it hidden, it will naturally reduce the efficiency. We speed up a little bit, they reduce efficiency a little bit, so that the cake is mostly ours. Now, Mr. Minister, I feel that we can only do that. ”

Lucien nodded as well. In fact, in the period just now, he had already figured it out, and he could only do it in this way. So he said to the others: "I will go to Napoleon now, you get things up quickly, don't procrastinate any longer, be quick, be quick, the sooner the better!" ”

So Lucien immediately went to the ruling government and complained to Napoleon, denouncing Fouché for his infringement. Napoleon, however, pointed out disapprovingly: "Lucien, you fool! The resources in your hands far exceed those of Fuxie, and you can't settle it yourself, and you still have to come to me? You're not afraid of being embarrassed! ”

Still, Napoleon had Fouché reminded him: "Don't spoil the whole thing." ”

Napoleon's meaning is also very clear, you can compete with each other, but you can't tear each other down.

After the threat of the "Ministry of Public Security", the efficiency of the "Ministry of Truth" immediately increased, after all, if the credit for this matter was robbed by those bastards of the Ministry of Public Security, then everyone's performance would not need to be thought about or anything. Therefore, at this time, the whole Ministry of Truth was closely united, or pretended to be closely united, around Lucien, and began with the greatest efficiency to promote a great critique in the United States that touched the soul and was directed against the evil English pirate culture, called "uprooting the reactionary ideas of the English pirate gangs."
