Of course, the food crisis in Germany is still far away. Therefore, Reinhard also dared to boldly order canned luncheon meat to be purchased in unlimited quantities on the 3rd.
Before this, although the prices in the German market were not very expensive, most common daily necessities required shopping vouchers or shopping permits allocated according to household registration.
Of course, it is not impossible to buy food that exceeds the license amount, but you will have to pay double the price.
Take Berlin, the capital, as an example. The weekly rations for each citizen here are 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, and milk.
Products, 420 grams of fat and oil, 2100 grams of luncheon meat (this is not included in the 700 grams of meat and belongs to a new category of food), 1.4 liters of milk (only pregnant women and children can buy whole milk).
You know, the German diet is mainly based on meat like other Europeans. If they are only rationed 700 grams of meat per week, they will only have three or four thin slices after cooking, even if they can get 2100 Kleinhardt
The Flying Fish brand luncheon meat ordered to be produced and developed by the Rhine Consortium was far from satisfying them.
What is Feiyu brand lunch meat? The taste is very different from the various ham sausages eaten in later generations.
Let’s put it this way, Feiyu brand luncheon meat is made by pounding and processing animal offal that Europeans don’t eat. Occasionally, it also adds high-temperature sterilized mouse meat that Asians don’t eat, fills it with soda ash, and mixes it with a large proportion of starch.
Meat flavoring agent is used to make a red "quasi-meat product".
Of course, if no one revealed the secret recipe, those meat-eating German officers and soldiers would never have imagined that this kind of luncheon meat, which has a taste that is not too different from meat, actually does not contain a lot of meat, and the content of this meat is entirely theirs.
Do not eat animal offal and rat meat.
Judging from the results and effects alone, Feiyu brand luncheon meat is still a very successful product.
On the one hand, the market price of luncheon meat is almost one-third of the same amount of ordinary meat products. This allows people with a big appetite who have exhausted their shopping coupon quota and still want to eat meat to buy lunch at twice the price.
Eat meat.
After all, even if the price of our lunch meat doubles, it will only be two-thirds of conventional meat products. It is still cheaper and the people can afford it.
When the Rhine Consortium promotes luncheon meat, its most famous slogan is "Feiyu brand luncheon meat, so that people can afford more meat."
In fact, this slogan is completely accurate. After all, rat meat and offal are considered meat, right?
The low cost of luncheon meat almost made the Rhine consortium, which monopolized the production of luncheon meat, and the German head of state Reinhardt, a huge profit.
Reinhardt is not a saint, and he also has selfish motives. Besides, who can blame him for making money based on his own ability and creativity without harming the interests of the country?
As for using national radio to advertise free luncheon meat...it's also for the people of the country to have meat to eat, isn't it? Using the public to benefit private interests and advertising the products of one's own consortium is all incidental and incidental.
...
Originally, there was no such thing as luncheon meat in the history of Germany. Although it sometimes tastes so unpalatable that people and gods are outraged, it is extremely cheap, can be eaten right out of the can, and has a long shelf life. It is a great substitute for meat. Reinhardt popularized luncheon meat in Germany. In fact,
It can also be regarded as a very wise political move.
Before that, one kilogram of meat could only make 10 canned meats. But now, one kilogram of low-quality meat that no one would eat before can make 100 canned meats that can barely be eaten.
This kind of can can not only easily provide people in slave countries and occupied areas with meat to eat and consolidate the rule of the Third Reich. It can also provide more calories and fat to the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, making them more powerful to fight.
Although the meat is inferior and the taste is a bit unpalatable, the fat and calories are real, and it is not a problem to replace ordinary meat products. Compared with Japan in Asia, which can only use pig blood mixed with flour to serve as canned pork, Feiyu brand
Luncheon meat is still very conscientious.
"Führer, there is no problem in supplying unlimited canned luncheon meat for three days." The minister of the National Food Administration Department assured Reinhardt: "The canned luncheon meat we ordered from the Reinhardt Consortium has always been very sufficient.
All the luncheon meat in stock will be taken out, and while the frontline troops are being supplied with normal supplies, there will be an unlimited supply for the rear areas for a year."
Because the shelf life of canned lunch meat is very long, the German food administration department approved a large number of purchase orders. These officials agreed that it is easy to deteriorate anyway, so it is always a good thing to stock up first.
"It is still necessary to maintain a certain level of inventory. In this way, even if there is an accident, we will not be helpless." Reinhardt nodded and warned the minister: "Be prepared to avoid worries. It is always better to be cautious.
It’s a good thing.”
In fact, Reinhard is indeed quite cautious now, and can even be said to be a little too cautious.
Since Germany occupied Denmark, a large amount of eggs, butter, condensed milk, bacon and other substances stored in Denmark that were originally destined for Britain were shipped to Germany. At the same time, the occupied Danish coast area could also be used by the Third Reich.
We continuously provide a large amount of fish, oysters, mussels and other seafood and meat.
In addition, Quisling worked hard to transport cod, salmon, herring, mackerel, herring, salmon, lobster, scallops, mackerel... and other fishery foods from Norway to Germany, giving Germany a stable import channel.
The northern route of food.
The current situation is that although the United Kingdom has blocked Germany's eastern import route, and the Soviet Union has interrupted Germany's western import route, Italy has maintained Germany's southern import route. German-occupied Denmark and its ally Norway are also part of the Third Reich.
A larger food supply route to the north was opened.
Coupled with the recent defeat of the British Home Fleet, the British North Sea blockade has disappeared. It may not be long before Germany can resume maritime trade imports.
At this time, Reinhardt's tense nerves seemed to be able to relax a little.
"Let's do this." Feeling that it was really not good for him to keep the food stuck too tightly, Reinhard thought about it and made up his mind: "Let's do this, try to sell substitute foods such as substitute coffee, substitute sugar, substitute bread, etc. on the market.
Let people increase their happiness on the dining table.”
The substitute coffee mentioned by Reinhardt is actually a coffee substitute processed from the fleshy root of a chicory plant. The substitute sugar is made from saccharin extracted from coal tar. The substitute bread is better, but in
White bread is simply mixed with rye flour, potato flour and other impurities. These substitutes will greatly increase the consumables that the German people can eat on the table, allowing Germany to stock more food.
Looking at such a stingy head of state, the minister in charge of food couldn't help but say something more: "Head of the State, we now have a lot of food in stock. It is enough to support us to finish the war with Britain and France and continue to store more food.
Is it necessary to have a lot of food?"
Reinhard glanced at the short-sighted minister and sneered: "After the war? Do you think our only opponents are from the west?"
"This..." The minister was suddenly stunned when he was asked, and he realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
"These reserves are necessary!" Reinhard waved his hand, and without waiting for the minister's answer, he said: "In the future, we need to take over an important area, and I need to allocate a lot of the food reserves to
Of course, there is no need to feel bad for the people there. We only need to wait until the next year, and that area will give us more food and stronger public support. It may even provide us with more combat soldiers...
