On October 16, 1964, China's first atomic bomb was successfully tested, and the news of the successful test explosion was published in major newspapers and periodicals in China, and the people of the whole country cheered and celebrated.
Two Bombs and One Star Founder "Qian Xuesen"
The Chinese atomic bomb was built by scientific researchers led by Qian Xuesen, who has been engaged in classified national defense for many years. The news of the success of this test explosion made Qian Xuesen's name appear in front of the public and resound throughout the world. Foreign anti-China forces were greatly shocked when they heard the news of the successful atomic bomb test. After that, agents often assassinated Qian Xuesen, but the operations ended in failure. At that time, the state attached great importance to Qian Xuesen, so it sent two people around Qian Xuesen to protect Qian Xuesen's safety. The repeated failures of foreign secret service operations are directly related to these two people around Qian Xuesen, who are Qian Xuesen's full-time bodyguards, who have repeatedly smashed the secret agent's plans and made significant contributions to Qian Xuesen's safety and security. So, which two people did the state send around Qian Xuesen? What's so special about these two people?
This issue of the article will take you to understand the truth of the incident, new friends to pay attention to, not only convenient to browse the wonderful content of the past, but also do not miss the latest content sharing.
Qian Xuesen's consent document for studying in the United States
Qian Xuesen has a strong talent for learning, from an early age was the top few in the class, in June 1934, he was successfully admitted to Tsinghua University, and in the subsequent study, he obtained the qualification to study in the United States and entered the famous University of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.
At that time, China was in the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and whenever American students mentioned China, they would say that China was a poor and backward country. Qian Xuesen, who studied in school, often experienced the discrimination of his classmates, which made him make up his mind as a young man that he would study hard, do a good job in scientific research, and do construction for the motherland in the future.
Qian Xuesen when he was young
In 1950, U.S. Senator McCarthy proposed at the meeting that he should oppose communism and cut off contact with China, and the "far right" senators headed by him maliciously slandered and persecuted communists. For no reason, Qian Xuesen was accused of being a spy of the Communist Party, and the US authorities put Qian Xuesen under house arrest, which was five years, and in order to return to the motherland, Qian Xuesen secretly sent a distress letter.
After Premier Zhou Enlai received the distress letter, he was greatly angered, and then summoned Wang Bingnan from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and said to him: "Scientists in our motherland are under house arrest by the United States, and the state cannot sit idly by. Later, when Wang Bingnan participated in the Sino-US ambassadors' talks, he took out Qian Xuesen's distress letter and negotiated with the US side, which finally made the United States release Qian Xuesen.
Zhou Enlai met with Qian Xuesen
Qian Xuesen, who returned to the motherland, devoted himself to scientific research, and he was entrusted by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai with a heavy responsibility, allowing him to lead the scientific research team to develop the atomic bomb.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > atomic bomb research is a state secret, in order to protect Qian Xuesen's safety, the state sent a guard secretary to his side, this person's name is Diao Jiubo. </h1>
Sending Diao Jiubo to Qian Xuesen's side was enough to see that the state attached great importance to Qian Xuesen, because at that time, only "four pairs and two highs" could be equipped with guard secretaries, and Qian Xuesen was obviously not in this list. It can be seen from this that the CPC Central Committee attached great importance to Qian Xuesen, which also shows that China was determined to study missiles at that time.
When Diao Jiubo was just sent to Qian Xuesen's side, Qian Xuesen was not very comfortable, and Qian Xuesen would often complain to Diao Jiubo and ask him if he was too strict? Diao Jiubo said, Qian Lao you are the hope of our country, I do this is very necessary, I want to protect your safety 24 hours a day.
For anyone who has been in contact with Qian Xuesen, Diao Jiubo must make statistics and will review the personnel who meet Qian Xuesen. During this period, Diao Jiubo identified many suspicious personnel, and when the central authorities examined these personnel, they found many spies sent by foreign forces.
Qian Xuesen at work
Qian Xuesen did not know the particularity of his work, he often said to his guard Diao Jiubo, I just want to concentrate on scientific research, I did not expect foreign forces to target me so much, they sent a lot of spies to assassinate me, which proves that they are afraid, afraid that I can build an atomic bomb, the more they are afraid, the more seriously I have to do scientific research, the atomic bomb we will definitely succeed in research, when the time comes to let the countries of the world look at it, see the strength of our Chinese scientists.
One day, Marshal Nie Rongzhen came to inspect Qian Xuesen's work, and when he approached Qian Xuesen, Diao Jiubo stopped him and said, "Please marshal cooperate with my work." Nie Rongzhen immediately laughed, let Diao Jiubo check, and said to him, "You have done a good job, and you will continue to maintain it in the future." ”
Nie Rongzhen chatted with Qian Xuesen about the progress of weapons research and development, and instructed Qian Xuesen to take good care of his body and directly ask the party Central Committee for instructions if he needed anything. After the two finished talking, they planned to ride together to the front line of the scientific research station, Nie Rongzhen saw the sky blue vehicle that Qian Xuesen was riding in, he shook his head, and said that the color of the car was too bright, which was not conducive to Qian Xuesen's safety.
After that, Nie Rongzhen personally went to buy a black red flag car, and sent someone to send the vehicle to Qian Xuesen's scientific research station residence, and Qian Xuesen, who received the new car, said a word, he said, thank the state for its attention to me, I will certainly live up to the hopes of the country and develop the atomic bomb as soon as possible.
In 1964, Qian Xuesen, who was doing research at the scientific research station, suddenly burst into a pleasant laugh, and the guard Diao Jiubo rushed forward to ask what was wrong, and Qian Xuesen put down the research in his hand and said to him: "China's nuclear weapons research is coming to an end, and I believe that this year we will be able to develop an atomic bomb." ”
The news that China's nuclear weapons research was coming to an end was soon learned by Taiwan's Secret Service, and Chiang Kai-shek issued an order to the secret service to assassinate Chinese scientific researchers headed by Qian Xuesen in a short period of time, and it was imperative to prevent the success of nuclear weapons research and development.
Therefore, the Taiwan authorities sent a secret agent Chen Binghong to carry out intelligence reporting work, and after infiltrating China, Chen Binghong obtained intelligence through his own son, who lived on the mainland for many years and had a classmate who worked in the 211 atomic bomb factory. Chen Binghong's son's inquiry into the progress of the development of the atomic bomb was noticed by the Ministry of Public Security of China, which felt that Chen Binghong's son was very suspicious, so they followed the clues to investigate, found out Chen Binghong's identity, and arrested Chen Binghong and other accomplices.
After that, the Ministry of Public Security felt that the matter was of great importance, so it wrote a report and submitted it to the central authorities, and After reading the report, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai immediately issued an order to strictly investigate the people around Qian Xuesen and ensure Qian Xuesen's safety.
After this incident, the protection around Qian Xuesen was more stringent, Diao Jiubo said to Qian Xuesen, Qian Lao, is now in the key point of research, I Diao Jiubo absolutely do not let the agents get close to Qian Lao half a step, Qian Lao you only need to do scientific research seriously, the rest do not have to worry.
In the same year, the foreign agents who were not willing to fail acted again, and they planned to assassinate Qian Xuesen by poisoning. But foreign agents did not expect it, the state once again strengthened its defense guard, and the poisonous meal was detected by the personnel, which made the poisoning plan of foreign agents end in failure.
Mao Zedong and Qian Xuesen
The poisoning was soon learned by Mao Zedong, who realized that foreign agents would definitely have the next action, and Qian Xuesen's side was extremely dangerous. Therefore, in order to better protect Qian Xuesen's safety, Mao Zedong drafted a document on Qian Xuesen's dietary safety, and made important instructions on the document, which indicated that it was necessary to strengthen the inspection of Qian Xuesen's dietary safety and to solve the hidden dangers of diet.
After reading Mao Zedong's instructions, Zhou Enlai immediately summoned the relevant personnel to carry out work, and personally formulated a plan, he personally reported the plan to the chairman, and said to the chairman, "This poisoning incident is extremely bad, representing the determination of foreign forces to assassinate Qian Lao, we should add protection personnel to Qian Lao's side, I suggest that Qian Lao be equipped with a food inspector, and the meals that Qian Lao eats every day are tested to ensure the safety of Qian Lao's food." Mao Zedong agreed to Zhou Enlai's proposal and commanded, "This matter is handled by you personally, and Qian Lao is the pillar of our country, and we must not let foreign forces succeed." ”
Zhou Enlai
Zhou Enlai looked at the list submitted by the secretary and said to the secretary: "It is not enough to have a list, I don't know these people yet, so if you go to investigate, you must investigate all the information of these people." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" > After repeated screening and investigation, Zhou Enlai finally finalized the list of personnel on Duan Enrun. </h1>
Who is Duan Enrun? Why did Zhou Enlai favor it?
Duan Enrun joined the army in 1951 and then participated in the Korean War, becoming a volunteer soldier to resist the United States and aid Korea. During the battle, Duan Enrun followed the marching medical brigade as a medical staff to save lives and injuries. After the victory of the war, Duan Enrun, who returned to China, began to work as a medical laboratory inspector, devoting himself to medical testing and research.
Zhou Enlai believed that Duan Enrun's identity background was clean, and he had experience in medical testing, and it was easy for him to check whether food was poisonous, so Zhou Enlai chose him.
When Zhou Enlai summoned Duan Enrun, he did not tell him the identity of Qian Xuesen, and he said to Duan Enrun: "I sent you to protect a chief, I don't know what you think?" In the face of Zhou Enlai's inquiry, Duan Enrun nodded excitedly and said: "Premier, please rest assured, you will live up to expectations." As a result, Duan Enrun took office and became Qian Xuesen's special food safety officer.
Later, duan Enrun, in his later years, wrote in his memoirs that when Premier Zhou sent me to protect Qian Xuesen, I did not know the identity of Qian Xuesen at first, thinking that I was just a chief, and one day, when Elder Qian asked me to sort out books for him, I found out the identity of Elder Qian.
Since Qian Xuesen's "food bodyguard" Duan Enrun took office, the food he wants to eat, from fruits and vegetables to seasonings such as pepper and salt, has to undergo Duan Enrun's meticulous testing.
mushroom cloud
On October 16, 1964, China's first atomic bomb test was successful, Qian Xuesen and the researchers he led witnessed this spectacular scene with their own eyes, and when they saw the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, Qian Xuesen's eyes could not help but leave tears of excitement, and he was equally excited, as well as Diao Jiubo and Duan Enrun beside him.
Qian Xuesen said, "China has succeeded, China has researched the atomic bomb!" After his words fell, all the personnel of the research station sounded a warm cheer. The news of the successful development of the atomic bomb was printed in major newspapers and periodicals, which was a national celebration, and people in many areas cheered on the streets with newspapers.
The successful research and development of the atomic bomb has made Qian Xuesen's name famous overseas, and many overseas forces have set their sights on Qian Xuesen's body, and many countries have thrown an olive branch to Qian Xuesen, but they have all been rejected by Qian Xuesen. After this, the assassination plans of foreign agents against Qian Xuesen became more and more frequent, but they were not successful. Qian Xuesen was tightly guarded around him, and with Diao Jiubo and Duan Enrun, two powerful assistants, no one could easily get close to Qian Xuesen.
There is no doubt that Qian Xuesen is a leading figure in China's scientific research community, and then Qian Xuesen led China's scientific research team to make major breakthroughs, and invented hydrogen bombs and launched artificial satellites in 1967 and 1970.
1979 was the year of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and it was also the year that Qian Xuesen attended the school and awarded him honors. This year, the California Institute of Technology in the United States issued the "Outstanding Alumni Award" to Qian Xuesen, Qian Xuesen read the school's invitation letter, turned to the invitation letter, threw it into the wastepaper basket on the side, he said to the staff around him, I will not participate in the American alumni association, the US government put me under house arrest for three years, I still remember, now, our motherland's scientific research is more and more successful, the country has become stronger, they came to show me goodwill, I do not accept.
Touching China's "Award Speech" to "Qian Xuesen"
Qian Xuesen dedicated his life to the motherland, and he led the motherland to overcome technical difficulties in a difficult scientific research environment, making great contributions to China's military development. In 2007, Qian Xuesen was elected as the first Chinese moved, and the following is the award speech for Qian Lao:
In his heart, the country is important, the family is light, science is the most important, and fame and fortune are the lightest. 5 years to return to the country, 10 years two bombs. Pioneering the aerospace of the motherland, he was a pioneer, cutting through thorns and thorns, forging wisdom into a ladder and leaving it to later climbers. He is a treasure of knowledge, a banner of science, and a model for intellectuals of the Chinese nation. ”
