Chapter 3 Road Selection

When he was arrested by Aika's newly formed special operations group, Duchamp did not show any resistance, although his expression was extremely angry.

The lads who surrounded Duchamp, though strong and capable, were generally a head shorter than Duchamp. Although they were heavily armed, if they really wanted to fight Duchamp, they would never be able to take Duchamp away peacefully unless they used weapons.

As he passed Dussand, Duchamp glanced at his son, and then, without saying a word, followed the young men out of the room.

Dussaint also saw that look, and there was anger, helplessness, and some expectation in his eyes.

His father was not suited to be the supreme ruler of a country, and Duchamp was not very good at both internal work and external communication. Perhaps with someone in command, he could have become the most courageous fleet commander...... But it's a bit embarrassing to make him the ruler.

Ideally, Androni should be in charge of the overall situation. Duchamp is the sharpest spearhead to the foreign enemy, while Dussander can be a "behind-the-scenes" man, controlling the situation remotely through his influence on Androni and Duchamp.

As a traverser, Dussaint felt that this was the right way to open a cool article. How nice is that...... Both parents have someone to help them with all the hard work, and they just need to come up with some inventions and come up with some shocking but correct opinions in this environment.

But now...... How can there be such a good thing?

As soon as he left the flower hall, Dussander threw himself into his busy work.

"The fleet from Olin ...... Isolate all superior commanders. "After leaving the Flower Hall, on the way to the steam wagon, Dussander began to give a steady stream of orders, and each one was not too close to each other," told Escobar to take over the Interior Committee...... Also, let him put together a list. ”

With the carriage in front of him, Dusandra paused for a moment behind the door, and then continued, "If anyone who distributes relief food has embezzled more than a pound of food, make a list. ”

The captain of the squad who was following Dusaud asked in a low voice, "Lock up all these people and divide them by the fine?" ”

Divide the embezzler by a fine of twice the amount embezzled, a bill passed by Androni and the Marquis two years ago.

"These are special times." Dussander stood in silence for a moment in the carriage and said, "Drag them to the corrupt areas and then execute them publicly—we need to deter other embezzlers, and we need to give the already terrified civilians a place to vent." ”

Riding back to the Aika building in a steam carriage, Dussand's first job was to gather all Aika management and convene an emergency meeting.

"From now on, I will dismantle the Archon Duchamp and take charge of all internal and foreign affairs on the Nyusar." Dussander said straight to Aika's subordinates, "If you want to pick up this mess, your cooperation is essential. ”

"Time is tight, and the task is heavy...... So, I have to remind you of one thing. Dusand looked at the red-clad postmen who were still a little confused about the situation and said, "Now is not a good time to express your personal opinion and make personal suggestions. You can keep your opinion, but your opinion can only be expressed after the order has been carried out -- it's not a suggestion, it's an order. ”

The red-clad postmen in Aika had different expressions, most of them didn't have a problem with this, while others couldn't help it.

"Mr. Director." In the crowd, an old man with white hair and beard raised his hand, "Newsar's ruling apparatus has completely broken away from the Empire...... Right? ”

Dussaint waved his hand, dispersing the surrounding members of the special operations group who were about to approach the old man who asked the question, and then replied, "In short...... Yes. Newsal is now an independent political entity. ”

"Then we shouldn't continue to exist as an institution." The old man said very seriously, "The Bureau of Heraldry is fundamentally an institution established to maintain the rule of the Empire, and all our work is based on 'allegiance to the Emperor and the Empire'. According to this...... Instead of cooperating with your efforts, we should do everything in our power to prevent and undermine your efforts to maintain Nyusar as an independent political entity. ”

Dusunder raised an eyebrow, "So, what is your suggestion?" ”

"Please disband and reorganize Aika, and change the name." The old man replied, "The name of the heraldic administration cannot be used again in the first place—Newsal does not intend to establish his own aristocracy, so what does the institution that govern the heraldic administration?" ”

Dussand's proposal surprised him, and he didn't think he would have to solve such a procedural problem first.

"What department are you from?" Dussander solemnly asked, "What are you responsible for now?" ”

"I'm George Orwell, the Minister of Management." The old man smiled brightly, "I am responsible for managing, reviewing, and judging whether the theories of all professors and students of the two universities in Newsar are in line with Aika's regulations. ”

The Department of Management, a very harmless institution that sounds, and Mr. Orwell himself seems very modest.

But this department ...... In fact, it is one of the most important institutions in the whole Newsar society.

Places like universities often feature two kinds of characters – teachers who are dissatisfied with the status quo, and young people who are enthusiastic and action-oriented, but have no brains.

Under such an "organizational structure", the university has become the place where the imperial ideas collide most violently, and at the same time, it is also the most prone to go wrong. The management department is a special organization born in response to such a fork. They infiltrate and regulate the university by attracting credible university professors, as well as the most popular students within the university.

Compared with other colonial administrations, the red-clad postmen of the Ministry of Administration were more politically sensitive and more or less familiar with a variety of "currents of thought".

Mr. Orwell made two proposals to Dussand, the first of which was made in front of everyone - that Aika should be disbanded as soon as possible and that the organization should be reorganized.

The second is that after the meeting, Orwell specifically found Dussand, who was looking at the documents in his office, and made a suggestion.

"The database contains a collection of all the 'currents of thought' generated by the University of Newsal, which have or may not meet the requirements of the Aika in the last 127 years, collected by the Department of Management." Orwell bowed slightly and said, "These currents of thought may be poison for the Empire, but for Nyusar, who is bound to be hostile to the Empire, they may be a good medicine to find vitality." ”

"Thought?" Dussander was busy making a list, and he had three lists in his hand, one of the employees of the Interior Bureau who needed to be executed, one of the fleet commanders who needed to be held in isolation, and a list of the cabinet members he had sought for himself. All three lists are significant, and there is absolutely no room for error. Therefore, after verifying the content three times, Dussaint looked up and asked, "What ideology?" ”

"I personally recommend...... 'Niusal Single Nationalism', proposed by Professor Strang seventy-seven years ago, and 'Liberation Theology', proposed by Bishop Schneider twenty-four years ago. Orwell replied with a smile, "These two political ideas have a relatively general applicability, and they are theories of great threat to the empire. Therefore, it is more suitable for the current Newsal. ”

Dussander didn't rush to speak, he quietly looked at Orwell in front of him and asked, "So, do you recommend these theories to me because of their threat to the Empire, or because you also agree with them?" Do you have any ideas of your own? ”

"I recommend them because they are the most developed and better suited to Newsal's current needs." Orwell replied, "Mononationalism can establish the identity of the Nyusar in the shortest possible time, and liberation theology can help the Nyusals, who have just experienced the massacre of the church, to rally their hatred on the Empire." ”

"According to a recent survey by our management department, most of the professors and students in Newsal have developed serious confusion. And their confusion will affect more ordinary people - the last thing Newsal needs right now is turmoil. Orwell stressed, "They need a clear enemy, they need a united group." Liberation theology and mononationalism are the easiest to win over the majority of people. ”
