I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

At this moment, in the sewer of Londinium, Alede stared at the TV that was still playing in front of her, slowly stood up, faced all the self-rescue soldiers, and said in a firm tone:

"—we can't wait any longer."

"I agree." The little unicorn commander Clovisia agreed with Aledea's judgment at this moment. At this moment, even though she was so young, she felt the huge threat posed by Chen Qi to the entire Victoria!

"He must die. Even if he doesn't die, he must never be able to write or speak again. Otherwise, Londinium... no, Victoria, will be torn apart by the blade made of his pen like a toy brick!"

"We have to take action. We must not let Londinium fall into the hands of the Sarkaz. Absolutely not!"

Chapter 48: "Yes, Prime Minister" was banned worldwide

"Yes, Prime Minister" has become popular again, and this time its popularity is not only in Victoria, but has even spread to other countries.

The reason is that the sixth episode of "Yes, Prime Minister", a political satire comedy that was broadcast throughout Victoria yesterday and is loved by Victorian people, satirized the inaction of the Victorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It can be said to be the episode with the highest quality and the most humorous moments so far.

Although "Yes, Prime Minister" has been broadcasting two episodes a week since its broadcast, the quality has always been quite high, and it can be said that each episode is quite interesting, but starting from the sixth episode, this TV series has truly caused a sensation in Victoria.

After all, as Humphrey said, "Political satire is the second most boring play in the world." The residents of Londinium have watched too many old plays during the period of Sarkaz rule, and coupled with Tresis's own hype for "Yes, Prime Minister", it has been widely praised within Londinium.

Afterwards, Tracy authorized the show to be broadcast throughout Victoria by manipulating the TV station personnel in Londinium. Although the new show "Yes, Prime Minister" attracted a large number of people to watch, judging from the ratings in various mobile cities, it was only at the level that could compete for the highest ratings, which was not too surprising.

After all, how could Victoria not have a few good dramas in a year? In addition, this was authorized to be broadcast by the capital, Londinium, so they must have conducted professional internal review.

If they stopped the video, they might be held responsible. But since Londinium had given the order, they didn't need to worry about it and could just play it.

——Almost all TV station staff in Victoria and the minister in charge of this area thought so. However, under this strange tacit understanding, none of them could have imagined that this TV series would suddenly cause such a big mess one day.

The sixth episode about Victoria's "Four-Step Diplomatic Method" directly touched the nerves of some politicians and civil servants who were also watching "Yes, Prime Minister". They didn't even have time to laugh, but informed the dukes of their respective territories of the news as efficiently as possible and asked them to make the decision.

When the dukes received the news, they immediately reacted as soon as they heard the term "political satire" and quickly asked their men to replay the previous segment...

Therefore, after watching the "Four-Step Diplomacy Method" in "Yes, Prime Minister", all the dukes unanimously and immediately ordered a nationwide ban on this TV series!

On that day, Victoria's civil service system had never been so efficient. From the time the situation was reported to the Duke's knowledge, the order was issued, and the order was executed, it took only ten minutes in one go. "Yes, Prime Minister", a TV series that was very popular in Victoria, disappeared from all Victoria's TVs except Londinium's overnight, as if it had never appeared.

However, the residents of Victoria will not lose their memories just like that. They all remember that they were happily watching the TV series and couldn't stop laughing at the satire and criticism of Victoria. But when they turned around, they found that the show was suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, the tacit behavior of several dukes caused an unprecedented wave of enthusiasm for "Yes, Prime Minister" in Victoria, and even raised it to a height that did not belong to him.

The next day, not just one mobile city, but the citizens of Victoria, regardless of their identities, workers, teachers, doctors, decent or not, as long as they were not involved in the political field, gathered in front of the gates of the parliament and TV stations in their respective mobile cities, holding up signs and protesting against their actions.

"We demand the restoration of Yes Prime Minister!"

"Victoria can't treat us like this! We don't pay taxes for you to be high and mighty and exploit us! You even take away our entertainment!"

"Victoria can't even tolerate a good comedy?!"

"What is Victoria afraid of? Or is everything said in this comedy true?"

"Reality is more magical than comedy! Victorian officials have proved it with their actions!"

Citizens continued to shout these slogans, and demonstrations broke out in front of the parliament, TV stations, and even in several mobile cities in Victoria. Sheriffs in many areas even had to send out city defense forces to suppress the demonstrations, resulting in a certain amount of casualties.

However, these are not the biggest headaches for the dukes. For them, as long as "Yes, Prime Minister" can be banned and there is no leak, it will only take a few months to completely suppress it, and it will slowly be forgotten, just like everything else in the past.

After all, this is not the first time that Victorians have marched. Just like what was said in the movie "Yes, Prime Minister", "Victorian workers are lazy and greedy. They only think about getting something for nothing and are unwilling to work an honest day."

Although this is a joking statement, it is actually also the view of a large number of Victorian officials on Victorian workers, because Victorians do march and cause trouble every now and then, because this method is really useful, they don't have to go to work, they can rest in disguise, and their own interests can be increased, and in most cases nothing will happen.

The dukes thought that they could get through this in just a few months, but what troubled them was that they found that "Yes, Prime Minister" had been spread too widely!

After all, no one had paid attention to the TV series before, and no one even told them that a political satire comedy had been circulating in Victoria for three weeks. By the time they noticed it, the influence of "Yes, Prime Minister" had expanded to a level that they could hardly accept.

Even if they activated the network security team and blocked all the information about "Yes, Prime Minister" on the Internet, some more radical dukes even issued an order - once any news about this TV series was found on the Internet platform in the city, both the number and the video would be blocked.

Just like that, hundreds and thousands of accounts were banned in various mobile cities. However, the people in Victoria's network security team were shocked to find that the related messages not only did not decrease, but were increasing!

It's even developing to places they can't reach! The people in the network security team realized that many Victoria residents had long realized that this TV series would be banned sooner or later, so they recorded it in advance and saved it on tapes or discs for easy playback at any time!

They can't block everything like this, the speed at which they block it is not as fast as others upload it.

Moreover, after realizing that Victoria's cybersecurity team was taking action, the people of Victoria fully demonstrated their wisdom. Soon, "Yes, Prime Minister" was spread beyond the scope of Victoria through various means...

So, within a few days, the TV series "Yes, Prime Minister" appeared on their public network platforms in places as far as Colombia, Letania and so on.

And as far as...it has even reached countries in the eastern region, such as the Ursus Empire.

A few days later, an Ursus girl with red dyed hair was looking around carefully. After making sure that there was no one around, she quickly went into a hidden campus warehouse.

"Finally I found the opportunity. The inspector won't come here at this time. I can finally finish watching the fourth episode of Yes, Prime Minister!"

"The school has even strictly forbidden us from watching this drama. They simply don't want us to be exposed to these things. I want to see what they are hiding!"

"There is nothing that I, General Winter, cannot know. Since this is a play in which Victoria satirizes her own government, I must watch it!"

The Ursus girl who calls herself "General Winter" and looks like a middle school student is also hiding in the abandoned warehouse of the school. As the leader of several clubs in the school district, she is not worried about being picked on, but she is worried that her behavior will be caught by some people she defeated and then spread to other places...

Recently, the soldiers and police in the city have been extra diligent, and many people have suffered as a result... Although Winter is not afraid of being caught, she is afraid that her family will be implicated, so she never watches these things at home. The Ursus officials strictly forbid them to watch these things.

Soon, Lin Dong took out his headphones, connected them to his mobile phone, and started watching the fourth episode of "Yes, Prime Minister" which had already been downloaded through a special channel.

——This episode is the most strictly prohibited one among the episodes of "Yes, Prime Minister" that Ursus prohibits from broadcasting. It even reaches the point where anyone who dares to broadcast it will be arrested. Winter also knows the risks involved, so he specially chose a place where there are not many people to hide it.

Soon, with some excitement about challenging the taboo, Lin Dong, who had only a superficial understanding of politics, watched with relish this masterpiece which she regarded as an "enlightenment work", but which was regarded as a "taboo" by the Ursus officials in recent days.

I don’t know why, even though Winter herself only has a vague understanding of many of the things in the series, she is still keen on watching this TV series and even learns Victorian for it.

As an Ursusian, Lin Dong's Victorian language is not very good. After all, it is a taboo in Ursus, and no one dares to translate for this TV series.

Therefore, Lin Dong could only read a paragraph by himself, try to translate a sentence by himself, and then write it down in Ursus in the notebook he carried with him to facilitate his understanding later.

Slowly, time passed by minute by minute. Winter had read half of the sixth episode and murmured as he wrote:

“The infected…are our country’s…favor, um…beneficiaries.”

"Okay... I'll take a look. This episode seems to be about the products of the infected. I'll read it first."

Lin Dong put down his pen and mobile phone, feeling a little tired. He picked up his translation results on the notebook and read it line by line. When he saw some parts that he didn't understand, he skipped them or modified them.

But soon, looking at the words she translated line by line, Winter's eyes gradually turned serious from the initial relaxation, and many of the remarks made by "Humphrey" in the text made her pupils shrink slightly.

"How can this be..." Unconsciously, Lin Dong slowly realized what the content of this episode was, but for the first time, she was shocked by the message it conveyed.

"It would be best if the current death rate remained the same!"

"Originium tax accounts for one-third of public medical funds!"

"Those infected willingly sacrificed themselves to save their non-infected compatriots!"

With line after line of words written, and without the canned laughter from TV dramas, the Ursus girl slowly realized how terrifying and cold these words were without the funny embellishments.

Lin Dong was caught in chaos when she suddenly heard a loud noise. The door in front of her was kicked open and several burly figures rushed into the abandoned warehouse.

"Open the door! Ursus Patrol! Someone has reported you for watching a banned TV series, which is a serious violation of the law! Come with us!"

Before Lin Dong could even react, two strong Ursus men picked her up and carried her outside in an unkind manner.

What they carried away at this moment was not only the body of Lin Dong, but also the heart of this Ursus girl who believed in her country...

Chapter 49: Ursus's plan to hunt down Chen Qi

Winter was taken away by the Ursus patrol. A few days later, a message was issued in the Ursus Empire: "List "Yes, Prime Minister" as a taboo work. Any Ursus citizen who watches, spreads, or privately keeps the content of "Yes, Prime Minister" in Ursus will be punished for treason in serious cases."

The place where this order was issued was the capital of Ursus, "Holy Castle", where the Emperor of Ursus resides, the most sacred place in all of Ursus.

However, banning the drama "Yes, Prime Minister" was not enough. Immediately afterwards, two more orders came from the Ursus Palace.

“First, Ursus will send an ambassador to Londinium to condemn the political interference implications of the TV series Yes, Prime Minister, which was alluded to and deliberately spread to Ursus, and we hope that the Victorian government will give a timely response and make a diplomatic response to the infected person policy.”

"If Victoria's explanation of this matter is not sufficient, the Ursus Empire will, in the name of the Emperor, define this incident as Victoria's 'diplomatic provocation'. If necessary, we will use force to deter and retaliate!"

What this means is that the Ursus official said that your Victoria's attitude towards the infected is not much better than ours in Ursus. Do we need to argue about who is more inexperienced between the two of us?

The infected people in our Ursus Empire don't feel oppressed. Why are you Victorians begging for them? You should deal with your own infected people's problems first!

However, the Ursus Palace obviously knows that this is actually just a diplomatic attitude in order to stabilize the hearts of the Ursus citizens. Ursus has always had a tough attitude in diplomacy and often uses military threats in order to make the Ursus citizens have confidence in themselves.

In this regard, the attitude of the Ursian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very different. After all, the foreign ministries of most countries have one thing in common - foreigners think that the foreign ministries of other countries have a tough attitude, but their own people think that their own foreign ministries are too weak.

Only the Ursus Empire, both its own people and foreigners think that their diplomatic attitude is extremely tough. And this time, the Ursus Empire also continued its usual style.

After all, they also knew that it was not certain whether Aslan was in charge of Lontinium now, and it was almost impossible for them to get a response - unless Theresis got drunk and publicly stated that they were in Lontinium, and if you, the Ursus Legion, dared to come, I would fight.

The other order was not made public, but was the result of discussion among several nobles in the Ursus Palace.

The problem must be solved from the root. No matter how much the drama "Yes, Prime Minister" is banned, it has already spread across this land. Even if Ursus is more ruthless, who can guarantee that countries like Victoria, Letania, and Colombia will be as tough as them?

At this point, the nobles in the Ursus Palace reached a consensus for the first time - don't joke, the people of these countries are completely untrustworthy when it comes to domestic issues.

But there is no way, no one could have imagined that a TV series would be so bold to be written, and Ursus is remote. For a TV series like this one filmed in Victoria, given the network conditions in this area, it is really unlikely to be spread to them.

How many countries' network sharing platforms must have crossed to reach them! The people in Ursus Palace couldn't figure it out, but they knew very well that if something like this happened once, it would definitely happen again in the future.

They could no longer prevent "Yes, Prime Minister" from spreading on the Ursus Empire's online platforms, but they had to do their best to remedy the situation. Therefore, after discussion, they decided to solve the problem from the root!

"Chen Qi, a Yan countryman, is he still accompanied by these members who originally belonged to the infected violent organization, the integration movement?"

"I remember that our people had contact with them in the snowfield before. That Tallulah...is the adopted daughter of that old black snake of Koschei, isn't she?"

"Damn it! When they escaped from the snowfield, we should have let the Emperor's Blade wipe them all out in one fell swoop! I didn't expect that such a disaster would happen now..."

Inside the Ursus Palace, several nobles were discussing the negative effects of "Yes, Prime Minister". However, when it came to the Integration Movement that had been struggling to survive on the snowy plains of Ursus, it was just a slightly powerful violent organization of infected people. They only paid some attention to this force because of Tallulah and the Patriots.

But who would have thought that a Chen Qi would suddenly appear out of nowhere and lead this violent organization astray, setting up some kind of art troupe, and causing such a big mess!

Why are you filming "Yes, Prime Minister"? Can ordinary people know about politics?

"This guy is so bold that he actually brought political satire to the big screen, and even mentioned diplomacy and the issue of infected people!"

"We need to make that guy disappear. At the very least, we need to let these artists know that keeping their mouths and pens under control is the most important thing for them!"

In the end, several Ursus nobles decided Chen Qi's fate in the palace, but they soon noticed another problem.

"It's just that... now these people are in Londinium. Even if we let the Emperor's Blade assassinate them, they won't be able to get around those Sarkaz Absolvers..."

"Tracy now needs this organization to help him film "Yes, Prime Minister". He and several of his generals even participated in the filming. You can imagine how much he values ​​this person."

"They even have a Draco... Her name is Tallulah? Kosice's adopted daughter. What if Tracy supports Tallulah to become the new emperor of Victoria in order to please Chen Qi?"

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the Ursus Palace fell silent. They suddenly realized that the organization they thought should be easily destroyed had become as difficult to deal with as tough meat.

First of all, they are no longer a violent organization that only has infected people as its associates. They have transformed themselves into an art troupe, and the few works they have shot have even been very successful. Everyone subconsciously ignores the fact that almost all members of this art troupe are infected. They have already gained social recognition, and it is not difficult for them to survive.

Secondly, the fighting power within the crew is very high. With Tallulah and the Patriot, who dares to say they can defeat them without the five "Emperor's Blades"?

What's more, they are now in Londinium, and Tracy is more concerned about protecting them than protecting himself. How could he let their people come into contact with Chen Qi?

"——I don't believe they can stay in Londinium forever. As long as there is a chance to take action, it will be fine."

"Have someone keep an eye on them and see what they do in the near future. If there's a chance, chop off that guy's head immediately - at the very least, pick out his tongue and chop off his fingers, so that he can never write anything he shouldn't write again!"

"Agree."

……

In Yan State, which is not far from Ursus, at this moment, the imperial palace of Yan State is also very busy, and it seems to be even more lively than that in Ursus.

The first-rank officials were flipping through stacks of thick account books in their respective offices, while the third-rank officials who were in high positions of power in other places could only be reduced to "porters" at this moment, responsible for counting the documents and transporting them one by one to higher-level officials.

"All of Shang Shu's financial statistics are here. Remember to label them."

"This is the finance of the Gouwu region!"

"And there are financial reports from Yumen!"

Officials were busy here, and soon, a third-rank official anxiously picked up a pile of documents and hurried in one direction. At this moment, a majestic voice stopped him.

"That's the financial report from the Simingtai. Don't confuse it. We are still compiling the financial statistics of each mobile city."

"Ah, yes! My apologies, Master."

The third-rank official only realized now that he had confused the report from Simaitai. He immediately put down the document in his hand and picked up another stack.

However, the third-rank official obviously did not understand the current situation and could not help but turn his head to ask the Grand Tutor:

"Master Taifu, I still don't understand...why did His Majesty suddenly start to check the financial situation of each mobile city and the six ministries?"

"This matter should be counted by the Ministry of Revenue and reported to Your Majesty at the beginning of each year. Why did Your Majesty suddenly want to review these financial conditions today?"

"...Your Majesty certainly has his own intentions." The Grand Tutor, who obviously knew some of the inside story, now showed a rare look of distress. However, he still maintained his unfathomable attitude and said without revealing any information:

"Focus on your work. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this review. There must be no mistakes. Tell the Minister of Revenue that all the accounts must be checked. If there are any discrepancies, they must be marked out and must not be concealed!"

"Yes!" The third-rank official nodded immediately and walked away again with the documents in his arms.
