assisted the process

Hi!

For the purposes of everyday life it was no doubt necessary, or sometimes necessary, to reflect before speaking, but a Party member called upon to make a political or ethical judgement should be able to spray forth the correct opinions as automatically as a machine gun spraying forth bullets. His training fitted him to do this, the language gave him an almost foolproof instrument, . (1984, George Orwell)

The last part is so confusing to me that I couldn't find what 'the process' implies here. Does 'the process' mean 'His training?'

Thanks for your help!

I read the process as "spray[ing] forth the correct opinions."
