Chapter 797 (2/2)

Although he didn't understand why the boss didn't take advantage of the fire, he had no choice but to follow the boss's order and offer a low price to the British army.

”I feel your sincerity, but... I have to say, we have a better choice.” The new Food Minister plays with taste.

”Before you get here, Homer food in Chicago wants to get an order from the food department, and their canned spam lunch meat costs only 15 cents.”

The assistant who heard the news was not surprised. Everyone knew it was a big business.

”Just a moment, Mr. Minister.” The assistant calmly opened the bag and took out two cans from it.

He took the canned luncheon meat of spade and Merlin with him.

”Can I have a knife? I'd like to open them for you to taste in person. ” The assistant pointed to the can and laughed.

The minister asked for a knife, opened two boxes of luncheon meat, and the assistant emptied the luncheon meat out of the plate on the table.

Spam's luncheon meat is all square sugar pieces the size of a thumb, while Merlin's is two centimeters of meat.

The meat quality of the two looks more bright and delicious, while that of Merlin is a little pink.

”Try it.” The assistant pointed to the meat in front of him.

The minister and his staff looked at each other and reached out to put the meat into their mouths on a plate.”... what did I eat? Poisonous stinky meat? ” The minister looked suspiciously at the broken meat on the plate.

”Try this again.” The assistant pushed the plate of the whole lunch meat forward, then raised his hand and said, ”but before that, I suggest you rinse your mouth first.”

Longer shelf life, perfect taste, fresh enough food, investment in research and development of the perfect proportion of shredded meat.

Merlin was not surprised to get an order from the food department, but the price fell by 5 cents.

At 35 cents a can, the war food department assured that all purchases of canned meat would be delivered to Merlin.

Of course, the premise is that it can meet the British Army's consumption.

The assistant's answer was very positive, ”we will ensure that the output is no less than 20 million cans per week, and the output can be increased if necessary.”

West and Li were sitting in the office of the Secretary of war of the United States when Merlin food factory took the order from the British food department.

The Department of war of the United States was founded in 1789. In a century, the role of the Minister of the highest leading body of the US military was played by civilians.

Although it is nominally called ”Department of war,” its most important responsibilities are finance and procurement.

West Point is a masterpiece of the Department of war, and the Department is filled with accountants, auditors, statisticians, and purchasers.

Some people say that the Department of war is the best gilded place, but it is also one of the most difficult departments for soldiers to get involved directly.

This situation has not changed until today, when Marshall, who was chief of staff of the army, also served as Minister of war.

As a staunch supporter of President Roosevelt's plan to aid Britain, Marshall naturally understood the importance of food.

His concurrent war minister is responsible for the army's finance and procurement.

”Charlie, the war is about to start, and it's an opportunity for you... I don't mean money, it's your embarrassing situation, I think you know what I mean.”

Less than five minutes after the two sides met, Marshall bluntly pointed out his purpose. The major general, who had risen to a high position, had come to play in the autumn.
