Starting with God's perspective, how to lose an interstellar war?

The cargo ship was not unloading weapons and ammunition, but rather mountains of organic food that had been rigorously sealed with inert gas and preserved at low temperatures.

Grains, meats, vegetables, fruits, and even some rare seasonings and beverage ingredients.

The selection is complete, and all products are of the highest quality.

When the logistics supervisor reported the total weight data in an incredulous tone, even Qin Beiwang was stunned.

"How many?

Three hundred thousand tons?

Are you sure you've got the correct company name?

"Commander, it's absolutely true."

The exact figure is 305,400 tons.

These are the invoice and quality inspection report.

The logistics supervisor's voice sounded somewhat unsteady.

300,000 tons of organic food!

Qin Beiwang quickly calculated in his mind. His fleet was now at full strength, numbering approximately 600,000 men.

Even if we follow the highest standards and eat all organic food for three meals a day, each person would consume about 50 kilograms per month, and the entire fleet would consume only about 30,000 tons per month.

Three hundred thousand tons...enough for the entire fleet to feast and drink to their heart's content for ten months!

Zhuang Zhixuan and the other fleet commanders looked at each other in shock.

They had all suffered from the effects of synthetic foods and knew all too well how precious organic food was within the military system.

The price of one gram of high-quality organic food on the market usually fluctuates between 3 and 5 Star Coins. This 300,000 tons... its value is roughly estimated to have reached an astonishing 1.5 trillion Star Coins!

This is no longer "support"; it's practically a mobile, extravagantly luxurious gold mine!

Zhuang Zhixuan said with some shock.

"This is quite a feat... Commander Qin, your friend here has an astonishing amount of power."

As Qin Beiwang looked at the endless list of containers on the virtual screen, his heart was also filled with turmoil.

When Chu Lixuan made that promise casually at "Peak of Stars", he thought it was just a showy statement from a rich young master, at most a symbolic gift of a few tons to improve the meals of high-ranking officers.

Unexpectedly, the other party was serious, and their offer was an astronomical sum.

Amidst the shock, a sliver of doubt quietly crept into Qin Beiwang's mind.

Merchants pursue profit; this is an ironclad rule.

The Chu Lixuan family is one of the largest organic food suppliers in the Federation, but such a large quantity of top-quality goods has an enormous cost and occupies a significant portion of the market inventory.

Even if it's just to befriend someone who's a "potential stock," the investment return period and risk are far too high.

unless……

Qin Beiwang narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing a certain possibility.

Could Chu Lixuan, or his family, be trying to create an "incident" by taking advantage of this "free aid" opportunity?

For example, not long after, news "coincidentally" emerged that some major agricultural planets were experiencing large-scale crop losses due to "climate anomalies" or "genetic crop diseases".

Or, several large-scale breeding areas may experience an outbreak of a "new disease," causing a sharp drop in meat production.

At that time, the supply and demand balance in the federal organic food market will be disrupted, and prices will inevitably soar.

On the one hand, the Chu Lixuan family can make huge profits by leveraging inventory and futures trading that may be done in advance.

However, Qin Beiwang showed no anger or dissatisfaction whatsoever.

On the contrary, a cold, knowing feeling flashed through his mind.

Business tactics and capital games are the survival rules of that circle.

If the Chu Lixuan family can truly seize this opportunity to extract more wealth from the affluent class who pursue a high quality of life and are less price-sensitive, that is their skill.

As for the lower classes?

Qin Beiwang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Even if the price of organic food rises to ten or one hundred Star Coins per gram, what difference does it make to them?

Their daily sustenance comes from synthetic nutritional pastes and regenerated protein blocks, which are almost free and provided in abundance with federal subsidies.

The luxury market for organic food has never been relevant to the truly impoverished.

Our fleet has unexpectedly gained such tremendous benefits; the stomachs and morale of 600,000 officers and soldiers will be satisfied like never before, and this is truly tangible.

He turned his attention back to the disposal of the 300,000 tons of organic food.

Such a huge amount of precious resources must be used and managed well.

"Send orders to the logistics department and all food support units at all levels of the fleet."

Qin Beiwang's voice was clear and decisive as he issued a series of detailed, almost harsh, orders.

"First, effective immediately, all officers' and soldiers' mess halls in the fleet are only allowed to serve organic food for three meals a day."

The variety of foods should be as rich as possible, and they should be rotated to ensure a balanced diet.

"Second, the supply principle: eat as much as you want, all you can eat. But there's one point—"

He emphasized,

"Absolutely no waste is allowed!"

Not a single grain of rice, a single leaf of vegetable, or a single piece of meat is allowed to be left behind!

The catering unit must make accurate calculations and allocate meals reasonably.

Diners must adhere to the "CD rule." Supervisory posts will be established for random checks.

"Violators will receive a serious warning for the first offense and their monthly allowance will be deducted."

The second measure was a permanent revocation of their eligibility for organic food supplies within the fleet, reverting them to standard synthetic meals.

"Third, it is strictly forbidden to take out, pack, or hoard organic food from the restaurant, and it is even more strictly forbidden to trade or resell it privately in any form."

Those who violate this rule will be treated as thieves or resellers of military supplies, and depending on the severity of the offense, will be handed over to a military court.

"Fourth, this regulation and the source of organic food are listed as information restricted to the fleet."

Officers and soldiers are strictly prohibited from disclosing details to personnel outside the fleet, including family members, friendly forces, and the media.

The official explanation given to the outside world is that it is a "logistical improvement and supply specially approved by the theater command".

Anyone who leaks information will be severely punished according to military law.

The order was quickly transmitted to every corner of the fleet via the internal communication network.

At first, when the officers and soldiers received the notification, most of them thought they had misheard or that it was some kind of temporary "extra meal" celebration.

The entire fleet nearly erupted in cheers when they entered the restaurant and saw the tables piled high with real rice, vegetables, and meat that exuded a natural aroma, instead of those suspiciously colored and bland synthetic porridges!

"My God... this is... real meat?!"

"This rice...has a natural rice aroma!"

It doesn't taste like synthetic starch!

"And fruit!"

"This is the first time I've seen fresh fruit in a military cafeteria during my five years of service!"

Exclamations of surprise and sounds of swallowing saliva rose and fell throughout the various cabins and restaurants.

Once it was confirmed that all of this was true and that it was a long-term supply, ecstasy spread like wildfire.

Many veterans even had tears in their eyes. Having experienced long cruises and arduous battles, they knew all too well how much a real meal could boost morale.

The subsequent announcement of strict management regulations put disciplinary reins on this excitement.

No one dared to risk permanently losing this "privilege," and no one dared to challenge the strict military law.

They became extra cautious when taking food, and when eating, they finished every last drop of food, even licking their plates clean.
