Of course, Germany's food crisis is still far off. Therefore, Reinhardt also dared to boldly order the purchase of canned luncheon meat for 3 days without limits.

Previously, although prices in Germany were not very expensive, most of the ordinary daily necessities could only be purchased by purchasing vouchers or shopping permits rationed by account.

Of course, if you want to buy more food than the permitted amount, you have to pay double the price.

In the capital Berlin, for example, the weekly ration per person is 2,250 grams of bread, 700 grams of meat, 280 grams of margarine, 280 grams of sugar, 110 grams of artificial jam, 150 grams of beans, 63 grams of artificial coffee, 420 grams of dairy products, fats and oils, 2,100 grams of luncheon meat (this is not included in the 700 grams of meat, it belongs to a new category of food), and 1.4 liters of milk (only pregnant women and children can buy whole milk).

You must know that the German diet was originally based on meat like other Europeans, and if they were only rationed 700 grams of meat per week, they would only have three or four thin slices after cooking, and even if they could receive 2,100 Flying Fish luncheon meat ordered by the Rhein consortium to produce and develop by Kleinhardt, it would be far from satisfying them.

What is Flying Fish luncheon meat? This is very different from the taste of all kinds of ham sausages eaten in later generations.

In this way, the Flying Fish brand luncheon meat is to mash and process the internal organs of animals that Europeans do not eat, and occasionally add high-temperature sterilized rat meat that Asians do not eat, fill it with baking soda, mix it with a large proportion of starch, meat flavoring, and make a lump of red "quasi-meat products".

Of course, if no one revealed the secret recipe, those German officers and soldiers who ate meat would definitely not have imagined that this kind of luncheon meat, which was not too different in taste from meat, actually did not contain much meat, and the content of these meats was all animal offal and rat meat that they did not eat.

Judging from the results and effects alone, the Flying Fish brand luncheon meat is still a very successful product.

On the one hand, the market price of luncheon meat is almost one-third of that of the same amount of ordinary meat products. This allows those who have a big appetite and want to eat meat after eating up their shopping voucher quota to buy luncheon meat for twice the price.

After all, even if the price of our luncheon meat is doubled, it is only two-thirds of that of conventional meat products, and it is cheaper, and the public can afford it.

When the Rhine consortium promotes luncheon meat, the most famous advertising slogan is "Flying Fish brand luncheon meat, so that people can afford to eat more meat." ”

In fact, this slogan is completely accurate, after all, rat meat and offal are also considered meat, right?

The cheap cost of luncheon meat almost made the Rhine consortium, which monopolized the production of luncheon meat, that is, the German Führer Reinhardt, make a lot of money.

Reinhardt was not a saint, he also had selfish intentions. Besides, on the premise of not harming the interests of the country, who can blame you for making money with your own creativity on your own ability?

As for the use of national radio to advertise luncheon meat for free...... It's also for the people of the country to have meat to eat, isn't it? It is incidental and incidental to advertise the products of one's own consortium in order to benefit the public and privately......

Originally, there was no luncheon meat in German history, although the taste was sometimes unpalatable, but because the price was extremely cheap, and it could be eaten right out of the can, and the preservation time was long, meat substituted for the artifact. Reinhardt's popularization of luncheon meat in Germany was actually a very wise political move.

Previously, only 10 cans could be made from one kilogram of meat. But now, a kilogram of low-quality meat that no one used to eat can make 100 canned meat that can barely be eaten.

This kind of canned food can not only easily give meat to the people of the client states and occupied areas, but also consolidate the rule of the Third Reich. It can also provide more heat and fat for the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, so that they can fight more vigorously.

Although the meat is almost delicious and the taste is unpalatable, the fat and calories are real, and it is not a problem to replace ordinary meat products. Compared with Japan, which can only use pig blood mixed with flour as canned pork in Asia, the Flying Fish brand luncheon meat is still very conscientious.

"Führer, it's no problem to supply canned luncheon meat in unlimited quantities for 3 days." The Minister of State Food Administration assured Reinhardt: "The canned luncheon meat we have ordered from the Rhein Consortium has always been very sufficient, and we must take out all the luncheon meat in stock, and at the same time supply the normal supply of the front-line troops, there is no problem with unlimited supply in the rear for a year." ”

Because of the very long shelf life of canned luncheon meat, the German grain administration has approved a large number of purchase orders. These officials agreed that it is easy to spoil anyway, and it is always good to stock up first.

"It's still important to keep a certain level of inventory so that if something goes wrong, we won't be helpless." Reinhardt nodded, and told the minister: "It is always good to be cautious if you are prepared. ”

In fact, Reinhardt is indeed quite cautious now, if not a little too cautious.

Since the German occupation of Denmark, large quantities of eggs, butter, condensed milk and bacon that had been hoarded in Denmark and intended for sale in England have been shipped to Germany. At the same time, the occupied Danish coast also provided a steady stream of fish, oysters, mussels and other seafood for the Third Reich.

In addition, cod, salmon, herring, mackerel, herring, salmon, lobster, scallops, and small sharks were brought from Norway to Germany from Guisling...... and other fishery foods, which also gave Germany a stable northern route to import food.

The current situation is that while Britain blocked Germany's eastern import route, the Soviet Union interrupted Germany's western import route. Italy, however, maintained Germany's southern import routes, and German-occupied Denmark and its ally Norway opened up a larger northern route for the Third Reich.

Coupled with the recent defeat of the British Home Fleet, the British blockade of the North Sea was gone, and it may not be long before Germany was able to resume maritime trade imports.

At this time, Reinhardt's tense nerves seemed to be able to relax a little.

"Well," Reinhardt thought about it and decided, "Well, try to sell alternative coffee, sugar, bread and other alternative foods to the market, so that the people can increase their happiness on the table." ”

The alternative coffee in Reinhardt's mouth is actually a coffee substitute processed from the fleshy roots of a plant like chicory. Substitute sugar is made from saccharin extracted from coal tar. It is better to substitute bread, but to mix rye flour, potato flour and other impurities into the white bread. These substitutes will greatly increase the number of edible consumables on the tables of the German people, so that Germany can stock more food.

Looking at such a stingy Führer, the minister in charge of food couldn't help but say more: "Führer, we now have a lot of food in stock, enough to support us to finish this war with Britain and France, and continue to store more food, is it necessary?" ”

Reinhardt glanced at the short-sighted minister and sneered: "After the war? Do you think our opponents are only those from the west? ”

"This ......," the minister was suddenly stunned by the question, and he realized that he did seem to have overlooked something.

"These reserves are necessary!" Reinhardt waved his hand, and without waiting for the minister to reply, he said to himself: "In the future we will need to take over an important area, and I will need to give a lot of the food reserves to the people there." Of course, there is no need to feel distressed, just wait until the next year, and that region will give back more food and stronger public support. Even, to provide us with more combat soldiers......."
