In 1979, in the Coordinates of the United States, Deng Xiaoping was attacked three times in 9 days. Deng Xiaoping completed the visit with only 7 guards.

In early 1979, on the eve of Deng Xiaoping's decision to visit the United States, the glass door of the Chinese Liaison Office in the United States was smashed and the door number was painted, which undoubtedly added tension to the next visit to the United States.

The United States is also a country with guns for all, and there is a great threat to personal safety. The relevant departments have also done statistics: every 24 minutes, one person is shot and killed.

The assassination of the leader has never stopped, and for Deng Xiaoping, who is about to visit the United States, his security problem has worried the mainland leaders.

To this end, the Chinese side immediately contacted the security leaders of the US side and demanded that they must strengthen their security efforts to ensure the safety of Vice Chairman Deng Xiaoping's life during the upcoming visit to the United States.

After Ling Yun arrived, he quickly consulted with the US security official Taylor: it was decided that the US side would be responsible for Deng Xiaoping's safety this time, but the entourage of guards would be arranged by the Chinese side, and China would send 7 bodyguards to be responsible for Deng Xiaoping's security.

This made Taylor unbelievable, because when their president visited China, he sent hundreds of bodyguards to take charge of security, while China only sent 7 guards.

In order to be foolproof, after the talks, the advance team visited all the scheduled visits.

On the afternoon of January 28, 1979, Deng Xiaoping arrived in Washington by special plane, and it was snowing heavily, but it could not stop the enthusiasm from the American people. The vice president and secretary of state of the United States, as well as important members of the United States government and Representatives of the Chinese people, greeted Deng Xiaoping at the airport.

This kind of reception scene, even American journalists were surprised, almost beyond the level of head of state, usually to the airport to greet only a senior official, but this time it is beyond the previous scale.

President Carter held a grand welcoming ceremony at the White House, with the band playing the national anthems of the two countries and also firing 19 salutes to welcome Deng Xiaoping's visit with the most solemn ceremony.

However, just as the president was speaking, suddenly a man burst out of the crowd, took a knife from his arms, and rushed directly to Deng Xiaoping.

President Carter continued to speak after a slight pause, and Deng Xiaoping, who was beside him, did not panic in the slightest, listening to the president's speech as if nothing had happened, and always smiling, at this time, Ling Yun, the head of the guard under the stage, was already frightened and sweaty.

After the meeting, Ling Yun immediately questioned Taylor, the head of US security, and Taylor explained: "That person is a member of the K-Klux Klan Counter-Revolutionary Party, they mixed in as journalists, they have racial discrimination, and yellow people are not welcome." ”

On February 2, Deng Xiaoping was invited to visit Houston, the United States, and had just entered the lobby of his hotel when an extremist suddenly rushed from behind and quickly threw a bag at Deng Xiaoping.

Suddenly, the other entourage were shocked, but Deng Xiaoping was unusually calm. At the same time, the Chinese bodyguard saw an unknown object flying in front of Deng Xiaoping. U.S. security personnel quickly took control of the extremist. After checking, the bag was full of anti-Chinese leaflets, but fortunately there was no danger.

Due to the continuous occurrence of unexpected situations, Lingyun looked for Taylor again that night and said: There have been emergencies one after another, requiring that the next visit must be strictly prevented from deployment.

The next day, the deployment of US guards was upgraded, and many explosion-proof policemen, solid wooden batons, tear gas were also prepared, three steps and one post, seven steps and one sentry, and with the meticulous cooperation between the Chinese side and the US security personnel, Deng Xiaoping successfully concluded the visit.

The 9-day visit, which saw 3 high-frequency attacks, was called "Deng Whirlwind" by American journalists.

Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change, Deng Xiaoping faced danger many times, but he was calm and calm, this may be the leader, An Bang Dingguo's strategy and style!
