It was the end of January 1925, a year after the death of Comrade Lenin, and his successor, although Lenin was finally reluctant to let him succeed Stalin, had already secured the throne as leader of the Soviet Union, and just a few days earlier at the meeting of the Bolshevik rostrum, his opponent Trotsky had been relieved of his posts as People's Commissar of the Army and Navy and Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council.
However, personnel changes in the Soviet Union had no effect on Soviet-German cooperation.
In the year following Lenin's death, relations between the two sides deepened further.
First, the Soviet-German military cooperation agreement was signed in Moscow, marking the official beginning of comprehensive cooperation in the military field between the two countries.
In April 1924, at the full impetus of Hersmann, a delegation headed by German Rear Admiral Arnos Bindler visited the Soviet Union and signed an agreement with the commander of the Soviet Navy, Zov, on cooperation in the development of aircraft carriers, submarines, cruisers and destroyers.
Soon after, the test aircraft carrier "Lenin", which nominally belonged to the USSR, was sent to the Leningrad shipyard to begin laying the flight deck, along with the design drawings of submarines weighing several tons and hundreds of German engineers and skilled workers of the shipbuilding industry, as well as a large naval officer corps.
At the same time, a contract was signed to help the Soviet Union restore Leningrad in honor of Lenin's renaming of Petrograd in 1924 as the Leningrad Shipyard and the Black Sea Shipyard, and to significantly upgrade its technology.
In November of the same year, the Soviet-German Agreement on Cooperation in the Automobile Industry was signed in Moscow with a contract amount of more than DM 5.6 billion.
A joint contractor consisting of AN and Krupp AG will undertake the construction of a large-scale steel and automobile complex on the banks of the Volga River.
The construction was to begin in the spring of 1925 and be completed over a period of five years.
Just a month later, another Soviet-German oil cooperation agreement was signed in Baku with a contract amount of more than 500 million marks.
Under this contract, Farben in Germany, formed in 1924 by the merger of Akfa AG, BASF AG, Bayer AG, Kassela AG, Griesheim Electronic Chemical Plant, Weiler Chemical Plant, Hearst AG and Kahler AG, will undertake the expansion and rehabilitation of oil fields and the construction of a very large oil refinery in Baku.
Construction was to begin in early 1926 and be completed in 1931.
In addition, a contract for the "electrification of the construction", which could total more than 600 million marks, is now being negotiated, and the so-called "electrification" is actually "electrification", the construction of power plants and power grids.
After the end of the civil war, the Russian Bolsheviks attached great importance to the so-called "electrification" and regarded the "electrification of the whole country" as an indicator of the realization of communism.
Since this idea was put forward by Comrade Lenin, who has become a saint, Stalin also made the early realization of the electrification of the whole country a top priority after coming to power.
It is clear that with the recovery of the Soviet Union's economic strength and Germany's escape from hyperinflation, the comprehensive cooperation between the two countries will reach its first climax in the next few years.
At the same time that Soviet-German cooperation was heating up in an all-round way, German industry itself also ushered in an investment upsurge.
This was not only because of the demand for cooperation with the Soviet Union, but also because of the benefits of the Keynesian plan of "in-kind reparations".
In order for Germany to meet its obligation to pay reparations, it was only natural that they would have to significantly increase their industrial output.
According to the negotiations between the German government and the reorganized Allies' Compensation Commission, Germany's compensation will be composed of six categories: raw materials, mainly coal, machinery and equipment, ships, automobiles, civil aircraft, mainly chemical raw materials, and iron and steel.
Among them, the value of raw materials will account for 30 of the total amount of compensation, machinery and equipment will account for 15, ships will account for 15, automobiles will account for 14, aircraft will account for 10, chemical raw materials will account for 9, and steel will account for 7.
And all the industrial sectors involved in the production of "reparations" naturally received large loans from the Industrial Promotion Council.
After the election of Hindenburg and Ludendorf as President and Vice-President of Germany, the committee was transformed from a "civil institution" back into a government agency.
It was not only responsible for promoting the development of German industry, but also for the establishment of a "reparations plan" for the next year, in consultation with the Entente Reparations Commission.
This is because the Keynesian plan and subsequent negotiations only determined the proportion of the various types of reparations and the total price of the reparations to be paid each year, as well as the types of reparations required by each country.
There is no specific product or pricing involved, so before each "compensation year", the Industrial Promotion Council also has to engage in extensive negotiations with countries to finalize an "annual compensation plan".
According to the Keynesian plan, 1926 would be the first year of reparations.
Therefore, the Industrial Promotion Committee was particularly busy, and Colonel Hersmann, as a member of the Industrial Promotion Committee, naturally had to take on the corresponding responsibility, which was the work he himself had brought from Karlhaushofer, and was in charge of negotiating with the Italians together with Valt Terranau.
The general manager and director of the German company General Electric, who is now also a member of the Committee for the Promotion of Industry, wears a very sophisticated gray suit with a two-breasted button and wide white stripes, and sits in the passenger seat of a Mercedes-Benz 6 that smells of a strong Cuban cigar, while Hersmann and Chloe sit side by side in the back.
The Jewish billionaire was a heavy smoker, lit another cigar and said: "Ludwig, thanks to your arrangement, I became an adviser to the leader a few months before his seizure of power, and I can be regarded as an old fascist revolutionary."
In the past two years, he has taken good care of my business in Italy and made me a lot of money. ” He also runs a comptoir and is the general agent of Siemens' power generation equipment in Italy.
After Mussolini came to power, Italy also accelerated the pace of industrialization, of which "electrification" was a key point, so Rathenau signed several large orders.
"Did you mention me to him?"
Hirschman asked.
"Of course, he's interested in you," Ratnau nodded, "and he's been wanting to meet you for a long time, so as soon as you arrive in Rome, he'll invite you to meet at the Palazzo Venezia." ” "Then what do you think of Italy, does it have the potential to fight?"
"War Italy" Tranau closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, then nodded and opened his eyes.
"If you had asked this question before the leader came to power in 1922, I would have answered in the negative.
Ludwig, you should know that Italy is not suitable for the development of industry, coal, iron ore, non-ferrous metals, oil are all needed by industry, they do not lack everything, so Italy's industry is relatively poor, the scale is also very small, and it is not a country that can fight a modern war at all.
But they were lucky to have a leader, a genius and a great man, who I believe can change Italy and make the country fit to fight. ” Jewish billionaires think highly of Mussolini, and in fact this is a relatively common perception in the 20s.
The Italian leader is popular not only in his own country, but also has many supporters internationally, especially capitalists like Val Ratnau.
Because the leader and later the Führer were not all the way, the leader was a capitalist, and the Führer was actually a socialist.
Hersmann's knowledge of politics, especially the various isms of the 20th and 30th centuries, has now reached the level of an expert.
Now, like Big Brother Schleicher, he is basically a political officer.
In the 2nd and 30th years of the 20th century, or later, various "isms" can actually be combined.

Let's call it "combinatorialism".
The fascism that now governs Italy is a combination of statist nationalism and capitalism, plus the dictatorship of the National Fascist Party and Mussolini.
Therefore, Mussolini's National Fascist Party's purpose in power was, fundamentally, to expand Italy's national interests; The second was to protect the economic interests of the Italian bourgeoisie and aristocracy.
Although the Italian National Fascist Party also formed workers' unions, it sometimes forced the management to make some concessions to the workers.
But in general, the fascist Syndicate "lowered" rather than raised costs.
According to Mussolini, fascism also has "three stages", the task of the first stage is to increase the wealth of society; The second stage is to concentrate wealth; The third stage is the distribution of the wealth obtained, which refers to the increase in the welfare of the working class.
Of course, the primary stage, oh, should be the first stage and the second stage will be two very long stages.
If it had not been for the involvement in the world war, it is estimated that by the time the successor of the leader passed away, the third stage of happiness had not yet appeared in Italy.
And such a policy determined that Mussolini and the National Fascist Party were quite popular with bourgeois politicians in various countries.
Even Churchill, who later scolded the Italian leader with demons or other nasty words, admired Mussolini before the outbreak of the world war.
As for Hitler, who is currently writing about my struggles in his senior cell in Munich, he was actually a "socialist" who, from the point of view of Germany and Western Europe in the 20s and 30s, was a socialist Hitler's idea of the German National Socialist Workers' Party, as you can see by the name of the party, is nationalist socialism, and represents the working class, including the middle class, the petty bourgeoisie, and so on, and in Germany before the Nazis came to power, they were almost as poor as the working class.
So under the Nazis, the German working class, petty bourgeoisie and middle class lived quite happily.
Later, what Hitler stole from foreign countries after starting the world war was not only used to maintain the war, but also to give welfare to the German people In fact, Nazi Germany was a high-welfare state, similar to the countries of Northern and Western Europe in later generations.
But in Nazi Germany there was no "Madonna", only the Nazis, there was no globalization, only the state and the nation were above all else.
If they had not lost the World War in the end, most of the German people would probably have lived this life very happily and were buried in their graves with gratitude and affection for the Führer.
Therefore, in the later world wars, the enthusiasm of German and Italian soldiers on the battlefield was completely incomparable.
The former is to fight the world for themselves, and the latter is for the capitalists and leaders to fight the world.
