Here are some
    other things that may help you as you draft your speech: It would be useful to examine some of
    the speeches of leaders who were similar to .had Stalin in mind with Napoleon's character, but
    you can look to other dictators or despots who used the sorts of rhetorical strategies that
    Napoleon does. As the previous answer pointed out, Napoleon will be devious and re-direct
    inquiries about the prosperity the animals were promised to focus instead on something like the
    heroics of the animals in battle or vague promises about other aspects of the future.
In order to avoid the difficult questions of logistics and specifics, despots like
    Napoleon will also return to the grander ideas of the revolution, the enemy, and the importance
    of fearing/ hating the enemy, as well as finding new enemies or threats to focus on rather than
    the hardships the animals are facing. 
You can find contemporary speeches
    that do similar things if you consider how different politicians re-direct attention from the
    difficult domestic issues of poverty or racism and instead want to focus on things like the war
    on terror or the war on drugs. Napoleon often used threats or perceived threats as ways to turn
    attention away from what the animals saw as their conditions not only failed to improve but
    continued to worsen under his rule.
