I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 13

One month.
The time it took for all the Imperial Army’s combat rations to be converted to canned food.
There were some minor protests from existing military suppliers during the process.
“General! This can’t be happening all of a sudden! Are you telling me to take away our food?!”
“How many months does your food last?”
“It’s been a month and it’s already been two weeks!”
“Canned food is twenty years old.”
“?!?!”
Everyone must have been dumbfounded after hearing the shelf life of canned food.
Because the shelf life of canned food defied their common sense.
Even the canned food was shocking not only in its shelf life but also in its taste.
“… … Are these really combat rations?”
“It tastes better than home-cooked meals.”
Even if you compare canned food with food sold in stores, the taste of canned food is so superior that you can’t tell the difference.
It was on a different level from the existing combat ration, black bread, which was recognized for its functionality as a substitute for weapons.
“But this can’t be used as a weapon!”
“Combat rations aren’t really weapons.”
“Ugh!”
So the military suppliers had to retreat with tears in their eyes.
Canned food became the combat rations of the Imperial Army, leaving behind an unprecedented record of unanimous approval from military suppliers and the military.
Of course, there was some noise during the process.
The Imperial Army was rife with corruption from within due to the long period of peace.
For example, what officials found most difficult to understand was the murderous prices of military supplies.
“General! This only costs 3 silver on the market, so explain why it costs 10 gold only at the military base!”
“I’m sorry, but I cannot tell you about that as it involves the security of the Empire.”
When the words ‘security of the empire’ were mentioned, the bureaucrats could no longer question the military and had to step down.
Because it was not the military or bureaucrats who defended the empire.
Meanwhile, even current military officials were unaware of the prices of these military supplies.
“Master Cheonho, why do these carts cost 50 gold each?”
“Don’t ask, I don’t know.”
“…yes?”
“If it’s 50 gold, just know that it’s 50 gold. It was 50 gold when I enlisted too.”
“… … ?”
So the military’s pricing has always been an unsolved mystery.
Until the advent of canned food.
As canned goods spread throughout the Imperial Army, many existing military suppliers were replaced or went bankrupt, and in the process, hidden secret ledgers were exposed.
The public ledger revealed secrets about the prices of military supplies that had been shrouded in suspicion for some time.
The military leadership and military suppliers have been working together to embezzle the budget and make up for the shortfall with the prices of military supplies.
Several generals who had spoken out against canning were also included in this ledger.
As the evils were revealed, an unprecedented situation occurred in which the empire’s generals were purged one after another.
“Let’s eradicate corruption!”
“The rotten military must reflect!”
A barracks movement began, led by some conscientious commanders, with canned food as the slogan.
It was the so-called ‘canned food crisis’.
Meanwhile, the repercussions of the canning weren’t limited to within the military.
“Now I can sleep comfortably at night.”
“It’s like a dream to be able to go outside without worry.”
The southerners, who had to live each day in fear of the barbarian raids, were able to lead peaceful lives once the barbarians were pushed out of the border.
“They say the reason the barbarians disappeared was because of canned food.”
“I also heard from my son who returned home. He said that since canned food came out, it has become easy to eat even on the prairies.”
When it became known that the reason the barbarians disappeared was because of canned food, people’s attention turned to the developer who created the canned food.
“They say that Yuri is the one who made the canned food.”
“What!? Are you saying that the same Yuri who created Pringles also developed canned foods?”
“That’s right. I heard that you developed canned food after much thought, feeling sorry for the soldiers’ plight.”
“Such a touching anecdote in a can… …!”
Interest in glass naturally led to praise.
“Ah, you mean Yuri? He is the hero who saved the South.”
“It was all thanks to Yuri-nim’s development of canned food that my son returned safely without dying.”
Among Southerners, ‘Yuri Greyot’ was quickly rising as a hero who saved the South and a great man of the Empire.
Meanwhile, while the world was in an uproar over a single canned food, Yuri, the magician who created the canned food, is now…
“Nice to meet you. My name is Hugh Wellington, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Division of the Empire.”
I was receiving a visit from the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Imperial Army.
*
Hughes Wellington.

He was a stubborn-looking old knight and commander-in-chief of the southern imperial army.
Commander-in-Chief Hughes, who maintained his knightly conquest even indoors, was also the person who asked me to produce canned goods.
but.
“I didn’t think you would come to see me in person. It must have been a long way to get to the capital.”
“I have something to say that I absolutely must say in person, so I came to see you in person.”
“If you have anything to say… … ”
“Your invention saved the lives of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers.”
“… … .”
“As the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army, I would like to express my sincere gratitude.”
The stubborn old knight’s voice was filled with desperate sincerity.
If I had received it in writing, my feelings would not have been conveyed properly.
That’s why I felt burdened.
“Please raise your head, I am not worthy of receiving greetings from the Commander-in-Chief.”
I didn’t make the cans to receive this kind of gratitude.
“If he is not great in eradicating corruption in the military, something that even the great generals of the empire could not do, then who is?”
“…it was an unexpected result.”
Who would have thought that something like that could happen with just one canned food?
I knew it would have some repercussions, but I didn’t know it would overthrow the military.
“Even if you didn’t expect it, it’s true that it happened.”
“I won’t deny that.”
The Marquis Hughes chuckled.
“I am a stupid person who closed my eyes and ears even though I knew that the military was corrupt.”
“I don’t think there’s any need to call you stupid since you’re paying attention now.”
The military is an organization whose principle is obedience to orders.
The military was a place where one could not raise a voice against orders from above.
It would have been impossible for a barracks movement to take place in such an army.
The person who initiated the impossible barracks movement was none other than the Marquis Hughes.
After clearing out the barbarians and finding some breathing room, he drew his sword toward the central military.
As a field commander of the Imperial Army, he was the only person in a position to voice opposition to the central military.
Some nobles were raising a fuss about the Marquis of Hughes, accusing him of starting a rebellion within the army, but this was only a small number of people.
The unprecedented purge of generals occurred as bureaucrats who had been dissatisfied with the military’s corruption joined forces with the Marquis of Hughes.
So, it was not right to say that he was stupid.
“Is that so? Haha. Thanks.”
The Marquis of Hughes burst into laughter and held out his hand.
“Please take care of me in the future as well.”
“yes?”
“I have no doubt that you will produce a lot of food for the military.”
“…I will try.”
“So, what I’m saying is, could you please put Pringles in this can?”
“You mean Pringles?”
“Oh, of course Jabasco was delicious too. But I was wondering if there would be a little more variety in canned food to boost the morale of the soldiers.”
‘So that’s why you came here in person.’
Although he was making excuses about the soldiers, the Marquis Hughes did not realize that it was his own eyes that were shining the brightest.
“Snacks are good, but I like canned desserts… … ”
It seemed that Marquis Hughes had fallen under the spell of canned food.

With the invention of canning, the reputation of glass increased day by day.
And as the value of a name increases, it is inevitable that misunderstandings and misconceptions will arise.
This was especially true in the military, where reforms were brought about by canning.
“It seems like Yuri has been dreaming of reforming the military from the beginning.”
“Are you talking about Yuri?”
“Think about it. The person who made the symbolic food suddenly improved the military’s food. What happened to our military as a result?”
“The corrupt generals were purged and the Marquis Hughes took control of the military.”
“It was in the Confederate States of America, with Marquis Hughes, that the spread of canned food began.”
“Are you saying that you two joined hands and planned this from the beginning?”
“It’s not impossible. Canned food isn’t something that can be made in a day or two, is it?”
“Certainly. Canned food isn’t something that can be made in a day or two.”
Military commanders believed that Yuri had been developing combat rations for the military for a very long time.
While conducting research alone and silently without saying a word.
The empire was great because of the existence of such ‘quiet heroes’.
“Ugh, I can’t just sit still like this.”
“I need to make room.”
The impressed commanders agreed to make room for Yuri in the military.
Thus, positions were created in the military solely for ‘Yuri Greyot’.
