The spy who leaked the secrets of the Dongfeng missile, because his wife bought vegetables, resulting in the identity being exposed
Espionage may seem far away, but it's actually not far from our lives. Whether it is the plot of the spy war drama or the intelligence war in reality, it constantly reminds us that it is important to protect the country's secrets.
China has always had zero tolerance for espionage and has repeatedly taken legal measures to severely punish espionage. In 2008, the mainland sentenced two highly talented spies to death. And one of them is Guo Wanjun, a famous missile designer.
Guo Wanjun was born in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and his family was originally a famous family, but in his father's generation, he embarked on the road of decline. From childhood to adulthood, Guo Wanjun's grades have always been among the best, especially after going to college. Missile research became the direction he pursued, he specialized in missile research and entered the national Dongfeng missile research and development team, becoming one of the designers.
Responsible for the research and development of the DF-31 missile is an extremely important task, requiring researchers not only to have superb scientific quality, but also to have a highly responsible ideological and moral quality. It is precisely because of these conditions that Guo Wanjun can participate in the research.
However, Guo Wanjun's fate changed because of a wedding. At a wedding, he befriends a returning international student, Wovihan, who is another spy.
Woweihan met Guo Wanjun as an entrepreneur at the wedding and began to contact him. It turned out that Woweihan was a spy for Taiwan's intelligence bureau and was responsible for intelligence collection while studying in Austria. After returning to China, he targeted Guo Wanjun and constantly obtained confidential information about Dongfeng missiles from him, and passed the intelligence to Taiwan's intelligence bureau.
Although Guo Wanjun is a scientist with academic pursuits, he did not resist the temptation of money and emotional involvement, and began to leak secrets after being bought by Woweihan. He also helped Taiwan's intelligence agency apply missile intelligence to practical operations, giving them an advantage in military confrontation.
However, the biggest culprit in this espionage is not Taiwan's intelligence bureau, but the United States. The U.S. said the intelligence provided by Wovihan was valuable and they were willing to help keep him safe.
Woweihan's dealings with Guo Wanjun have always been very careful so as not to be discovered by the police. They usually use cash transactions, and Guo Wanjun will give some of the money to his wife.
However, the turning point in fate came on the day when Guo Wanjun's wife was shopping for vegetables. She exchanged a dollar with the vegetable seller, whose son happened to work for the National Security Bureau. When the son returned, he learned that the US dollars exchanged by his mother had been handed over by Guo Wanjun's wife, so he reported it to the State Security Bureau.
Based on the clues of this dollar, the NSA quickly discovered Guo Wanjun's danger. In order to protect state secrets, they decided to raid Guo Wanjun's home. When the armed police entered Guo Wanjun's home, he tried to call for help, but was subdued. The armed police realized that the phone call might be a state secret, so they asked Guo Wanjun to continue making calls.
However, the call did not reveal any important information, just some pleasantries with the family. The Public Security Bureau was unable to convict the case because there was no real evidence. At this time, a state security officer found a breakthrough. In Guo's communication records, they found a phone call, which was not connected and did not have any conversation content every time he called. They guessed that this was a code word between Guo Wanjun and the connector personnel.
To reconnect with the connectors, the Ministry of State Security used the news media. They spread the news that Guo Wanjun was appointed as the chief designer of the new missile, and then sent someone disguised as a telephone repair staff member to Guo Wanjun's house to repair the telephone line. It's all about luring the connector to call again.
After careful planning, the phone finally rang again. State security officials speculated that their answering code was that they did not answer the first time, answered the second time without speaking, and did not answer the third time. Finally, the big fish took the bait. During this planned phone call, Wovihan was caught red-handed.
After searching the hotel where Woweihan was staying, the police found important notes that he and Guo Wanjun had leaked secrets. In the face of conclusive evidence, neither Guo Wanjun nor Wo Weihan had any room for escape. In the end, the two were sentenced to death for espionage.
This story tells us that protecting state secrets is the responsibility of every citizen. We must not betray the country for personal self-interest, let alone be fooled by money and emotions. Espionage may seem far away, but it's all around us. Only by adhering to our duties can we safeguard the peace and security of the motherland.
