seizure
Qian Xuesen is one of the 20 students of boxer indemnity who went to the United States to study at public expense . After getting the MIT master's degree, he went to visit aerodynamics. Authoritative Professor von Kamen.
After Qian Xuesen met Professor von Carmen, asked for further studies. von Carmen expressed his support. In the fall of the same year, Qian Xuesen joined California Institute of Technology , and studied under von Carmen.
Here, Qian Xuesen learned a lot of advanced scientific knowledge and published many research results. In 1946, the US Intelligence Group discovered that there were a large number of rocket launch bases in Germany, , so it quickly allocated funds to establish a jet propulsion laboratory in the Institute of Technology, and Qian Xuesen was the head of the jet research group at that time.
In 1944, the U.S. Department of Defense hired von Carmen as an adviser to the U.S. Army Air Force to plan a grand blueprint for future aviation for the United States.
At this time, von Carmen specially appointed Qian Xuesen to participate in his scientific advisory group, which shows the importance of Qian Xuesen.
prevailed in the United States in 1950 McCarthyism ,At the beginning of the Cold War, the United States discovered that Qian Xuesen had contacts with China, so he immediately prohibited him from participating in classified research.
Two weeks later, Qian Xuesen told the school that he would return to China to visit relatives, and the school soon agreed to . But just as Qian Xuesen was about to board the port and return to China, the then Navy Deputy Commander Danny Kimble knew that, immediately furious, saying that Qian Xuesen would be worth five divisions wherever he went, and he must not be let go.
In this way, Qian Xuesen was detained. After negotiations with at the California Institute of Technology, Qian Xuesen was allowed to be released on bail awaiting trial 15 days after was detained.
In 1954, five countries including China, the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union held an international conference in Geneva to discuss North Korea. involved the issue of allowing citizens of China and the United States to return home.
The United States made a long list of lists. At the same time, China also asked Qian Xuesen and other scientists and students to return to China, but the United States refused.
It was not until 1955 that President Eisenhower believed that some of the scientific research that Qian Xuesen had mastered had already passed 5 years ago, and it was bound to have been surpassed by new scientific research, so he let his mouth go back to China.
returning home
September 17, 1955Qian Xuesen boarded the steamer returning home. The Dean of the California Institute of Technology at the time did not go to see him off, but said meaningfully: Qian Xuesen certainly did not go to plant apple trees when he returned to China.
After returning to my country, Qian Xuesen first visited various research institutes and production plants in China, and was familiar with my country's aviation industry foundation.
During the visit, Chen Geng asked Qian Xuesen: Can China build missiles. Qian Xuesen replied that of course, can be done by foreigners, and the Chinese will surely be able to do it. Couldn't the Chinese be shorter than the foreigners?
After returning to China, Qian Xuesen began to lead the development of missiles in my country, and proposed to build a missile force, , and then participate in the research work of two bombs and one satellite.
Qian Xuesen's bodyguard
After waiting for Qian Xuesen's return, the United States realized that it was returning from the tiger to the mountain, so it secretly wanted to make small moves.
In 1960, Diao Jiubo suddenly received an order to be transferred to Qian Xuesen as the security secretary. Diao Jiubo participated in , and he has rich experience in defense. He deserves to be Qian Xuesen's security secretary.
We must know that those who were able to equip a security secretary at the time were all the big figures with "four officers and two highs". Qian Xuesen had an exceptionally equipped security secretary, which is enough to show that the state attaches great importance to him.
Diao Jiubo is the longest serving time of all security personnel of Qian Xuesen. came to Qian Xuesen in 1960.He didn't leave his post until 1975.
15 years of hard work, it can be said that Qian Xuesen is protected 24 hours a day. Liu Youguang once said to Diao Jiubo that doing a good job of Qian Xuesen's security work is the greatest contribution to national defense science.
At that time, Qian Xuesen lived in the Chinese Academy of Sciences dormitory. People entered and exited. After some inspections, Diao Jiubo thought it was difficult to defend here and needed to move out of the dormitory building.
After the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, the dormitory where Soviet experts lived was just vacant. Qian Xuesen happened to move to the dormitory building of the Fifth National Defense Research Institute.
When talking about his work, Diao Jiubo said that he had made a mistake, but Qian Xuesen didn't use it to blame him, and since then he has never made any mistakes.
After the successful launch of the first artificial satellite , Diao Jiubo followed Qian Xuesen to the celebration dinner. Because of happiness, Diao Jiubo drank a few more glasses and fell asleep when he returned to the guest house.
It was 11 o'clock when he woke up the next day. At this time, he found that Qian Xuesen had left, and Qian Xuesen knew that Diao Jiubo had vomited last night and asked the receptionist to ask him to take a good rest.
The spy’s assassination was not a whim. In 1964, a spy poisoning incident was discovered in Beijing. All this happened before the first atomic bomb exploded in 1964.
After investigation, it was found that this poisoning incident was an assassination of important scientists such as Qian Xuesen. This incident directly prompted the country to increase the protection of important scientists.
Premier Zhou convened a meeting with relevant personnel from the Ministry of Public Security. stated that he would close all loopholes to protect Qian Xuesen's safety, and finally decided to assign Qian Xuesen a food inspector.
This salary can be much higher than that of a guard, which is unique in the past.
The person in charge of Qian Xuesen's food inspection is called Duan Enrun. He participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After returning to China, he worked in the hospital laboratory.
After receiving this task, Duan Enrui also studied for a period of time in the "Poisonous Food Inspection Laboratory" of the Ministry of National Defense. Because there is a certain difference between the routine laboratory test in the hospital and the food test after all, Fortunately, Duan Enrui's brain is so good that he quickly learned the relevant knowledge.
At first, Duan Enrui only knew that he was taking care of a leader named Qian, and he didn't know who he was. in accordance with the relevant secrecy regulations , Duan Enrui doesn't ask much, just do his own work.
After receiving the task, Duan Enrui's first task was to build a food laboratory, and finally chose an office building near Qian Xuesen's home.
There are two rooms in total, each of which is equipped with a telephone to ensure smooth communication. Every food that Qian Xuesen imports here needs to be checked, and even a cup of tea needs to be absolutely safe.
After the guard purchases the food, he inspects it here first, and then makes the meal after there is no problem. The leftovers after eating are also put in the refrigerator first.Treat it after everything is intact. This is for to determine what the poison is as soon as there is a problem.
In this way, Duan Enrui worked diligently every day, until one day he cleaned up his desk for Qian Xuesen, and when saw the room full of rockets and missile-related books, he realized that he was protecting Qian Xuesen.
Concluding remarks
Qian Xuesen is the winner of the Two Bomb and One Star Meritorious Medal. He has made significant contributions to the research of Chinese missiles and also contributed to the subsequent launch of two bombs and one star.
Because Qian Xuesen has come back from abroad and has a great reputation, he is easily targeted by hostile elements. The country has spared no effort in ensuring the safety of important scientists, so that researchers can work with peace of mind.
