All the conditions put forward by Keynes were immediately accepted by the German government without reservation. These five conditions proposed by the British, together with the "principle of reimbursement in kind" and the "European foundry scheme" proposed by the Germans, became the so-called "Keynesian Plan". At the end of 1923, it was accepted by Britain, Belgium, Italy, and Luxembourg, which demanded that Germany pay war reparations.

The French, on the other hand, accepted the Keynes Plan in principle in December 1923, as the government of the French Great Right Pai stepped down at the end of November – and because France was more isolated on the Ruhr than it had been, the "national bloc" had fallen more than six months earlier than it had historically.

The new Minister of Foreign Affairs of the "Left Yi Alliance" government is none other than Aristide. Briand, under his auspices, France was quick to accept the Keynes Plan, and the French and Belgian armies began to withdraw (within a year) from April 1, when the Keynes Plan was officially implemented.

So far, the Ruhr issue has reached a relatively satisfactory conclusion.

But the currency war is far from over! The huge claims against Germany were caused only by the first round of the currency war. It ended with the "conditional surrender" of Germany and the temporary overwhelm of the dollar by the pound.

But the dollar and the United States still have a huge advantage, and the victory of the pound is only temporary.

And the struggle between the pound and the dollar has nothing to do with Colonel Hersman for the time being. His assignment in the "German Committee of Experts" was very short-lived, and he had already withdrawn at the end of the Ruhr question, as if he were a passerby.

After the Ruhr issue finally had a relatively happy ending, Hersmann and Chloe took their 3-year-old son Rudolph on a journey to Moscow.

He and Chloe had gone to visit their old friend Lenin, who was terminally ill and would soon leave his country and people forever.

"After the first stroke, Comrade Lenin's health deteriorated, and in May 1922 he suffered a second stroke, partially paralyzed on his right side. In March last year, he had a third stroke, and since then he has been bedridden and unable to speak. By the end of last year, the situation had deteriorated a bit, and it seemed that it was not going to last long......"

On a Lufthansa Junkers J.23 (chartered) flight to Moscow, Vasily Huang introduced Lenin's illness in an unusually solemn tone. In 1919, he studied at the "Special Technical School", which specialized in teaching knowledge of guerrilla warfare, and later participated in the Hungarian War, gaining a wealth of experience on the battlefield. After the fall of Budapest, he was sent by the Soviet Red Army to study in the Baltic (a Soviet-German military exchange program), where he was trained at the Riga Military Academy (formerly the Danzig Military Academy) and learned to fly in the aviation training class of the Military Academy. After returning to the Soviet Union for a time as an instructor at the Military Academy of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (later the Frunze Military Academy), he returned to Berlin at the beginning of January 24, bringing Hersmann the news that Lenin would soon die.

In fact, Hersmann already knew the news that after the introduction of the NEP, the Soviet Union was not as airtight as it used to be. Stasi's agents were able to gather some information, including the illness of Comrade Lenin.

This was a big deal in the Soviet Union! Moreover, during Lenin's serious illness, there were already signs of a power struggle within the Bolshevik Party in the Soviet Union......

"Is he about to die?" Chloe had just put little Rudolph to sleep when she came over to join the discussion.

Vassili. Huang nodded and sighed, "yes, I'm about to leave." And I'm leaving......"

"You?" Chloe looked at the Chinese in front of him, his complexion was very good, and he did not look sick.

"You're leaving the Soviet Union?" Hersman seemed to have something in mind. "Are you going back to China?"

In the blink of an eye, he has been living in this world for almost 7 years. It's 1924 now...... China is ushering in a thrilling era!

"Hehe, you know that!" Vassili. Huang smiled, "Yes, I'm going back to China." Ludwig, did you know that the Chinese revolutionary Dr. Sun Yat-sen had decided to cooperate with the Chinese Bolshevik Party. He is going to open a military academy in Guangzhou to train revolutionary officers, and I will serve as the vice principal of this military academy. ”

Vice President of Whampoa Military Academy? Sounds promising! Hersman nodded slightly, "Vasily, do you need my help?" Instructors and weapons, if there are not many of them, I can think of something. ”

When Hersman said this, he was already considering sending military advisers to Guangdong. Germany has a long tradition of exporting military advisers, and after the defeat in World War I, this particular "labor export" business did not stop. The dispatch of expatriate military advisers can not only solve the problem of reemployment of some retired officers and non-commissioned officers, but also take the opportunity to train the contingent so that the General Staff can always keep abreast of the latest war patterns.

However, the German army is now acting much more cautiously, and the "export of labor" is divided into legal and illegal parts. The legal part is the responsibility of the Political Department of the General Staff, which sends military advisers to legitimate governments of foreign countries. The illegal part was left to the Intelligence Service, which set up the Teutonic Samurai Company, a "civilian labor export agency", to send military advisers to foreign "illegal forces". Sun Yat-sen's army was not under the jurisdiction of China's legitimate Beijing government, and was naturally an illegal armed force. Sending military advisers to support Sun Yat-sen's business was, of course, under the jurisdiction of Hersman.

"Instructor, we'll send it, weapons...... We have guns and ammunition, and we have a way to transport them to China. "Vasily. Huang pondered.

China in this era is suffering from an arms embargo, initiated by the Americans. It is said that it is to prevent the Chinese from fighting a civil war with imported weapons, but countries that really want to ship weapons to China can always find a way.

"Maybe you can get some planes over," Vasily. Huang thought for a moment and said, "Dr. Sun also has a small air force and an aircraft workshop, but there are no advanced aircraft. Also, you can send a few flight instructors to China. ”

Now the USSR has already introduced several aircraft production lines from Germany (Baltic). FK-BF also developed three models of military aircraft in accordance with the actual situation in the Soviet Union. However, these aircraft should be given priority to equip the Soviet Red Army, Vasily . Huang couldn't get his hands on it at all. Moreover, the task of training pilots of the Main Directorate of the Red Air Force of the USSR is very heavy, and at present it is impossible to send instructors to China.

"That's easy," Hirschman smiled and nodded, "it's just some planes, it's kind of a friend...... I'll ask a representative of the Economic Promotion Corporation to pitch the CL-5 to Dr. Sun. As for the instructors, let the Civil Aviation Flight School send people. ”

CL is the code name of the German ground support attack aircraft in World War I, and a total of two models were produced during the war, the CL-3 from Hanover and the CL-1 from Juncker.

After the BMW101 star engine was put into production, the FK-BF company developed a light attack aircraft with a two-wing two-seat wooden fuselage, named CL-5, which not only has the army version of the CL-5A, but also the navy version of the CL-5B.

This aircraft was one of the three military aircraft exported by FK-BF to the Soviet Union, and its performance was not excellent, but it was more practical.

Among them, the army version of the CL-5A can carry four 25-kilogram small bombs, as well as three machine guns, with a maximum level flight speed of more than 220 kilometers and a maximum range of 420 kilometers. The Navy version, on the other hand, can carry two 50-kilogram bombs, and without a co-pilot, you can choose to carry a 150-kilogram armor-piercing bomb!

Hersman asked the economic promotion company to get a dozen planes to go to Guangzhou, and it didn't matter how much they were sold. The main thing is to form a good relationship, and there may be opportunities for further cooperation in the future - the government of the Weimar Republic has cooperated with the Chinese Nationalist government in the past.

And this Vasily . Huang's trip to China had a consequence that Hersman did not expect
