It took about ten minutes to move all the items Renault brought to the base warehouse, and Gentiane breathed a sigh of relief.
The food ingredients Renault sent over were like a timely blessing because this time she had requested a lot of dolls and dummies from headquarters, so the budget for purchasing supplies wasn't very sufficient.
There were basically no fresh ingredients, definitely no fresh meat, but there were quite a few preserved meats, and besides that, there were some vacuum-packed sausages and the like. However, the quantity wasn't large, definitely not enough for daily consumption. Spread out over a month, it would probably only be enough for three or five meals a week.
All the vegetables were dried products, and the rest were some canned goods, canned luncheon meat, canned fruit, and the like—items that had nothing to do with the word "fresh".
Just thinking about having to rely on these things for a whole month, eating them with the sweet MREs, Gentiane couldn't help but shudder.
Fortunately, Renault sent over a lot of things, which saved them from dealing with dried vegetables and canned goods for a whole month.
"Does Griffin not have regulations for the food standards of each command headquarters? Do you all just order from Griffin based on your respective budgets?"
Looking at the message sent by Helian on his phone, Renault looked up at Gentiane, who seemed relieved, and asked.
Seeing Gentiane pause at the question, then scratching her cheek, Renault probably guessed the answer. After all, G&K was a private security contractor, and this kind of dietary issue varied from commander to commander.
Moreover, their underlings were all different, so it was not practical to unify the recipes and food supply. Instead of racking their brains at headquarters to come up with a solution, it was more convenient to let the commanders and logistics officers of each command headquarters negotiate among themselves.
However, negotiating like this often caused some problems. Sometimes it might be because the commander had put most of the budget into purchasing various equipment, or it might be because of the huge consumption of ammunition, so most of the budget was spent on ammunition supplies.
It was even possible that because the commander was stingy, they would rather eat MREs and canned goods every day than improve their food for themselves and their dolls.
Although this situation was rare, it did exist. Someone like Gentiane probably spent most of the money on ordering tactical dolls and applying for doll dummies from headquarters.
But this was actually not a bad thing for Gentiane, the commander of a private security contractor company, because only when the strength of her command headquarters and base increased would Griffin headquarters further increase their budget.
In that case, they would have more money to buy more things next month.
It must be said that Renault's idea coincided with hers. Compared to the MREs and canned goods ordered from Griffin headquarters, weren't the fresh vegetables and fruits in his hands ten thousand times better than those convenience foods that couldn't even be confirmed to be expired?
"Alright, anyway, if you have any budget left next month and you feel tired of those MREs, you can give me a call, or let Poposha call G36 and them. You're probably going to be busy over there, so good luck." With that, Renault called the Rippers who were helping with the cargo and left Gentiane's base through the cargo channel.
He was just here to deliver something, and his purpose was just to advertise. As long as Gentiane tasted the sweetness, it was likely that the commanders of those Griffin jurisdictions that the railway passed through before would also notice such a procurement channel.
Any normal person probably wouldn't mind eating fresher ingredients, right? Even the dolls felt the same, let alone those Griffin commanders who were normal people.
Not only on Gentiane's side, but he also informed Helian, but it might be difficult for her. It was said that she had just been warned by her boss recently, it seemed that those guys from the military had noticed his train.
Tsk, the military, those guys were really persistent. It was annoying enough that they sent people over to probe him secretly before, now they even wanted to cut off his foreign sales channels.
But it was just selling vegetables, was it necessary to be so nervous?
...
"He left quite happily, but that guy is also generous. He quietly sent over so many ingredients. Hey, Commander, does he have some kind of interest in you?" Looking at the full boxes of supplies, Kalina couldn't help but tease Gentiane.
"How is that possible? He clearly just set his sights on the budget of our jurisdiction. Didn't you hear what he said? If we want to eat again next time, we'll have to pay for it!" Gentiane rolled her eyes. She didn't think that Renault would send millions worth of supplies to her just for this reason.
And these millions were calculated according to the price Renault had just quoted. If it were the price from Griffin headquarters, these things would directly swallow up most of their budget for the whole month.
"Uh, shameless businessman!" When Gentiane said this, Kalina also reacted and frowned, muttering to herself.
Beep—!
"Ah! It's a call, Miss Helian's!"
As soon as Kalina said this, her communicator suddenly rang, and before she could answer it herself, Helian's holographic image appeared in front of the two of them.
"Good morning, Commander Gentiane, it seems you should have received the supplies from headquarters by now. Although I don't know the condition of those dolls, there's no time for you to continue to adapt slowly."
"As you know, your jurisdiction, S09, was attacked several times by the Sangvis Ferri forces not long ago. The former commander of S09 even fled the defense zone on his own, and headquarters has noticed it. Many SF dolls have already broken through the defense line and entered S09 jurisdiction."
"So what's the mission?"
Hearing Helian's words, Gentiane already had a rough idea of the mission, which was nothing more than to investigate the movements of those Sangvis and thoroughly eradicate those SF units that had entered S09 jurisdiction.
"To investigate the movements of those Sangvis, and then thoroughly eliminate them according to the situation, and block their information transmission." Helian said with a serious face.
Seeing Helian like this, Gentiane couldn't help but think of the situation when Helian got the phone Renault sent...
At that time, Helian seemed to have a very expressive expression?
"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Seeing Gentiane's absent-minded look, Helian frowned and asked.
"No, everything is clear."
"Very well, the specific mission-related information has been sent to your command room. Remember to read it through before taking action."
