The waitress had secret missions and participated in the founding ceremony
The founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949 was undoubtedly an extremely important date in Chinese history, and it was undoubtedly the moment that the reactionaries most wanted to destroy.
Therefore, how to ensure the safety of leaders and dignitaries at home and abroad, and how to prevent the founding ceremony from being sabotaged by reactionaries, has become the primary task of the security departments of New China. Two months before the founding ceremony, the Beijing Public Security Bureau set up a special ceremony security team, and personally ordered to ensure the safety of the founding ceremony.
One might think that a large number of military and police patrols are needed to protect the area, so that they can play a preventive role. But in reality, this is neither realistic nor feasible.
First of all, New China is a country in which the people are the masters of the country, and it will not adopt the high-pressure policy of the reactionaries, still less will it allow the appearance of the act of being like a great enemy. Second, if the military and police set up too many posts, it may seem that they have strengthened their precautions, but in fact they may expose the position and weak links of the guards, so that the enemy and special elements can calmly deal with them.
Therefore, there is another important link in the conservation work, and that is the plainclothes team hidden in the shadows. Mu Fengyun, political commissar of the plainclothes guard brigade of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, selected more than 600 police officers with high political consciousness and strong professional quality after layers of screening, and formed three plainclothes action teams.
In the work of ensuring the safety of the country's leaders, there is a special picket team, which hides on the way to Tiananmen Square, and is on standby, paying close attention to the abnormal situation along the way to ensure the safety of the leaders.
The plainclothes officers of the intelligence department of the North China Military Region are mainly distributed near the residences of the leaders, and are on alert around the clock for the enemy's conspiracy and assassination activities. Plainclothes work is not just a matter of putting on the clothes of ordinary people, they must be disguised to the point where they cannot let the enemy see through their identities, so they all have superb camouflage skills and disguise themselves as various identities and professions.
Mu Fengyun's requirements for plainclothes are very strict, "what to do is to be like anything, what to sell and what to drink, and to shout and drink authentically", therefore, they all have to go to learn from teachers, and run shoe repair shops and snack stalls in a decent manner.
The third action team prepared by Mu Fengyun will become the most mysterious existence on the day of the founding ceremony. The task of this team is to act as a waiter among celebrities from all walks of life, envoys from various countries and journalists, and play the role of plainclothes.
The task requires not only competence and political reliability, but also feminine femininity in order not to cause displeasure on the Tiananmen Tower.
There used to be many female public security officers in the Public Security Bureau, but Mu Fengyun felt that this was not enough, he felt that although these female police officers were competent and reliable, most of them had "occupational diseases", which seemed too serious and not gentle enough, making people feel like the kind of gentle and lovely waitresses.
Therefore, Mu Fengyun specially selected 40 female students from various senior high schools in Beijing and gave them detailed and comprehensive professional training, and these students quickly mastered the skills of investigation, vigilance, fighting, shooting, etc., and at the same time learned the professional skills of hospitality and service.
Their specific job is to provide thoughtful and warm service to the leaders and VIPs on the tower of Tiananmen Square during the founding ceremony, serving tea and pouring water, and at the same time always be vigilant, once there is any abnormal situation, deal with it immediately, and even do not hesitate to stand up and protect these VIPs with their own bodies.
After the formation of these three teams, they immediately put into work, and soon came the good news, and in just two months, more than 2,400 people were arrested, of whom more than 1,000 were spies who had plans to carry out the task of sabotaging the National Day.
On October 1st, the atmosphere was so festive and peaceful that most people may not know that the waitresses who served them were silently protecting their safety.
As the parade was about to begin, plainclothes officers on East Chang'an Avenue reported to us that they had spotted a foreigner wearing a U.S. military uniform, holding a camera, and had been filming the officers and soldiers on parade.
This raises some suspicions, as he may be snooping on the military secrets of our army. However, with her rich diplomatic awareness, Mu Fengyun realized that this was not like the act of a spy, but more like the act of a diplomat.
He decided not to rush into arrest, but to order plainclothes to quickly identify the person. After investigation, we found out that this person was a U.S. Army colonel named David, who had served as the U.S. military attache in China.
After the news reached ***, ** smiled and said, "Colonel David, I know him, we are old acquaintances!" ”
David used to be the leader of the Yan'an Observation Group of the U.S. Army and had a good friendship with ***, but this was during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Now that Sino-US relations have undergone tremendous changes, David's behavior is somewhat inappropriate.
However, ** showed great magnanimity, saying: "It's just a matter of taking pictures, it's not a big deal." The founding ceremony is to be open to the world, since we did not invite American journalists, let David take his place! ”
Later, David's ** was publicly released in the United States, which caused a great repercussion and also allowed Americans to see the strength and generosity of the Communist Party of China for the first time.
