Catch-22(v5)

There is a man in the book named Milo Minderbider. Milo is head of the mess hall in Yossarian's squadron. Milo sells eggs for 5 cents each but buys them for 7 cents each, in Malta, and still makes a profit. Milo made a syndicate in which everyone is a member and everyone has a share. He provides goods in return for a couple of planes to transport cargo and get supplies. Yossarian is the only person that Milo trusts and invites Yossarian to go with him on trip to gain supplies. Milo sets a course for one place and ends up in Sicily and buys eggs for 1 cents each. The book goes on to tell that Milo buys eggs cheap then sells him to himself in a different market several times to raise the price, then he sells it to the mess for 5 cents and ends up with a profit. Milo does this with dozens of different products and makes a lot of money at the syndicates expense, but Milo is in the syndicate and everyone gets a share so they don't lose money. As Yossarian continues his journey with Milo he finds out that Milo is a beloved mayor of several different cities. Milo's syndicate is named M&M Enterprises. M&M is Milo and Minderbinder, the and is there to make you think the syndicate is not just run by one person. eventually Milo is selling products to every country in North Africa and Europe, except for Russia. Milo has planes given to him by every country and works for every country. Milo informs the Americans of German weaknesses and he warns the Germans of impending attacks. Milo gains a profit from both countries and is the reason why some Americans are dying. Milo had invested alot of money in Egyptian cotton, the Egyptian cotton wasn't in high demand and the stock was plummeting. Milo had fallen almost to bankrupt when he was paid by the Germans to bomb his own squadron. Milo destoryed alot of supplies and other equipment and many wanted him dead, but the syndicate gained money that everyone else got so he wasn't in trouble.
