On September 27, 1949, the whole country was intensively preparing for the founding of New China, and people's faces were full of happiness.
However, the US Consulate in Shenyang received news that the Americans had openly beaten up our staffThe most seriously injured person went straight to the hospital and was dying.
As soon as this news came out, all walks of life were in an uproar, and at this time, Americans still dare to be so arrogant!
When everyone felt very angry, there was also some confusionAt that time, our country had not yet established friendly relations with the United States, so why did they establish a consulate on our soil and openly beat our staff?
Soon, the news also reached the ears of ***, so how will the chairman deal with this matter?
It all started in 1945, when after Japan's unconditional surrender and the withdrawal of soldiers from our country, the Kuomintang took this opportunity to recover the Northeast region and colluded with the United States.
In order to gain the support of the United States and win the victory over the Communists, the Kuomintang allowed the United States to set up a consulate general in Shenyang, the largest city in Northeast China, with Wald as consul general.
In order to curry favor with the United States, Chiang Kai-shek allowed the United States to have the absolute right to speak here, and also to build an army hereThey have been stealing military intelligence from our party and the USSR using this advantage.
During the War of Liberation, our army became more and more courageous, and in 1948, when the entire Northeast was liberated, the people of Northeast China were happy, but the Americans in the consulate were worried.
Wald did not think that the Kuomintang would fail miserably with the help of the United States, and the other staff in the consulate advised Wald: "Let's go back to China quickly, Chiang has completely failed, and we have been helping him to deal with the Communists, in case the Communists become angry, we will be in danger." ”
Wald was also a little worried, but his confidence and pride in the United States made him unwilling to flee in a hurry, and he said that he must stay here, contact ***, and hope to continue to retain the right in the Northeast. Everyone saw that Wald was so confident that they all chose to stay here.
At the same time, our party entered the northeast amid the cheers of the people, and Zhu Qiwen served as the mayor of Shenyang City.
After discovering that the people from the consulate were still here, our party felt that it was necessary to properly handle relations with other countriesSo *** instructed Zhu Qiwen to treat the people in the consulate well.
After thinking about it, Zhu Qiwen specially met with Wald and told him that they could continue to stay in the consulate, but the troops must be withdrawn, and as for their personal safety, our country will do its best to protect them.
In this conversation, Zhu Qiwen showed his greatest sincerity and chatted very well with Wald and others, so three days later, the two met againThis time, Zhu Qiwen showed him China's library.
Wald was very interested in China's long-standing culture, and Zhu Qiwen also expressed the hope that the two countries could carry out cultural exchanges in the future.
After this meeting, Zhu Qiwen was very happy and couldn't wait to describe the scene of the meeting to **, but what he didn't expect was that after listening to it, ** immediately reprimanded him, saying that it was very wrong for him to do this, Zhu Qiwen was confused, and he didn't know why he suddenly became like this.
Seeing his puzzled look, ** sighed and said, "You think you two have a good talk, so do you know what Wald thinks?" ”
Doesn't he also want to establish peaceful diplomatic relations with us? * Shaking his head, things are not as simple as Zhu Qiwen thought.
It turned out that the United States did not want to give up the "big fat meat" of Shenyang at allZhu Qiwen's attitude made Wald think that our party, like the Kuomintang, could make them independent on the soil of our country.
After meeting with Zhu Qiwen, Wald said: ".The Communist Party will recognize them and allow us to retain our previous rights. ”
Moreover, now the United States does not recognize the legitimacy of our country at all, so we cannot recognize their consulates either.
After listening to **'s analysis, Zhu Qiwen reacted, and at this time he realized that he was ridiculously wrong, he was a little panicked, and asked **What to do next.
This situation is no longer controllable, he immediately reported it and asked what to do about it, at this time, ** raised a key question, he said, must first confiscate all the radio stations in the consulateIn this way, they had no way to contact the Kuomintang, and there was no possibility of divulging secrets.
On the other hand, now we can't have a direct conflict with the people in the consulate, because if we are not careful, it will cause diplomatic problems, and they will have nothing to do without the radio, and they will ask to return home without us doing anything.
After listening to **'s analysis, ** became happy, he felt that this method was feasible, so he immediately began to plan, it is best to take out the radio station without conflicting with them, and to prevent them from secretly hiding the radio station.
On November 15, our party officially sent a notice to Wald, saying that for the sake of our country's security, Wald had to hand over all the radio stations, and that Wald had 36 hours to prepare for humanitarian reasons, and he could inform his family and friends.
After receiving this notice, Wald was helpless, but he did not intend to hand over the radio, but sent a telegram to our partyHe said that he only used the radio station for work, and was not engaged in espionage, and that the use of the radio station had already been approved by the people**, and now we have no right to take his radio station.
After sending the telegram, Wald was very proud, he felt that he had handled this matter very well, but what he did not expect was that China was no longer the period of Chiang Kai-shek's rule, the people were already history, and the current China would not bow to anyone.
So no one took Wald's telegram to heart, 36 hours passed quickly, Wald did not hand over the radio, and after waiting for a while, Wald still did not make any move, ** decided to attack.
* Send Wu Xiuquan to issue an ultimatum to Wald** It was also specifically explained that it was necessary to use the form of conversation first to avoid involving diplomatic issues.
After receiving the order, Wu Xiuquan invited Wald to the conference room and asked him to hand over the radio as soon as possible, but Wald still refused with the previous set of words, and threatened: "If I can't use the radio, I can't work."Then there is no way to guarantee the safety of those overseas Chinese. ”
Wu Xiuquan was crawling on the battlefield, and he must not be threatened by Wald, he said in an aggravated tone: "At present, all the radio stations in the consulate must be kept by us, if you want to send a telegram, we will send it out after review, and it will not affect your work, please hand over all the radio stations now!" ”
Wald saw that the threat was useless, so he began to say nothing, no matter what Wu Xiuquan said, he didn't respond, there was no way, Wu Xiuquan could only say that if he didn't cooperate, we could only search for it ourselves.
Hearing this, Wald suddenly stood up, turned around and left the conference room, and Wu Xiuquan could only report the process of deliberation to **.
In the face of Wald's arrogance, ** was very angry, and he wanted to lead the team to rush to the consulate immediately, but he couldn't do this, so he could only suppress the fire and report ** to ask what to do next.
After discussion, ** said not to be afraid of them, now there is no diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it is simply illegal for them to establish a consulate on our land, and if you want to stay, you must abide by our agreement. He asked Wu Xiuquan to confiscate the radio station directly.
** also specifically explained: "Just go in and take the radio station, if they don't resist, don't hurt them." ”
After getting ***'s instructions, ** immediately started to act, and he also specially prepared a receipt, asking Wu Xiuquan to hand over the receipt to Wald after receiving the radio, so as not to let them say that we had encroached on their property.
On the 20th, our army officially entered the consulate, and in order to avoid injury, the PLA did not bring **, and after handing over the notice of the seizure of the radio station to Wald, they began to search the consulate.
Because they were afraid that Wald would hide it, the PLA carefully checked all the corners of the consulate and carefully reset the thingsAs a result, nine generators were identified, as well as military-specific generators.
Then we took all the radios and handed the receipts to Wald, who was visibly nervous as they watched all the generators be searched.
Everyone knows very well that if it were just work, there would definitely not be so many radio stations, let alone military radiosWald: They must be secretly gathering intelligence about our countryThe PLA directly restricted their freedom.
At this time, Wald realized that the current China was no longer familiar to him, and he couldn't help but regret what he had done before, but it was too late.
Seeing that so many radio stations had been confiscated, **'s face became serious, and he immediately sent someone to crack the secrets sent out by these radio stationsHe also caught a lot of spies.
These spies were all hidden in Shenyang, and the interrogation revealed that their radio stations were provided by the American Consulate, that is, Wald, and they passed on a lot of information.
In the face of this result, Truman still resolutely refused to admit it, and he also bit back, saying that these spies were all citizens of our country, and they must have been instigated by our country, and wanted to discredit them, not only thatHe also demanded that our country immediately release Wald, recognize the consulate in Shenyang, and put pressure on our country on many fronts.
Seeing that the United States is so vexatious, my country is also very helpless, so we can only put Wald and them under house arrest first, and at the same time actively look for favorable evidence.
At the same time, our army was in full swing to liberate the rest of China, and did not pay much attention to Wald.
In September 1949, Wald was about to be placed under house arrest for a year, during which time he could only move around the consulate and had no contact with the affairs of the outside world.
One morning, when Ji Yuheng, a Chinese employee, came to work at the consulate, Wald suddenly became angry when he saw him, fired him, and then walked away.
Ji Yuheng froze in place, he didn't know what he had done wrong, but he thought that Wald had been getting more and more moody recently, and felt that it was better to leave, so he went into Wald's room and asked him to give him his salary.
After seeing Ji Yuheng again, Walder became even more angry, and he shouted loudly: "Why don't you leave?" But before Ji Yuheng could speak, he waved his hand and punched Ji Yuheng.
Then, as if Wald had found an outletBeckoned another American to beat and scold Ji Yuheng.
The other people who heard the movement came here to check and found that Ji Yuheng had fallen into a coma, and the Chinese employees were very angry and stepped forward to stop Wald, but Wald was still very arrogant, and gathered the Americans here and punched and kicked the Chinese employees.
This incident quickly caused an uproar, and everyone knew that they were very angry later, and they were openly beating the Chinese on the territory of ChinaThe people spontaneously united and demanded that Wald be punished severely.
** also learned about this soon, he didn't expect Walder to be so arrogant, first asked about Ji Yuheng's situation, and only breathed a sigh of relief after learning that he had been out of danger to his life, and ordered people to treat Ji Yuheng well and compensate him.
Then *** ordered all the Americans to be arrested, and said:"On Chinese soil, they can only behave in a good way, and they can't talk nonsense! ”
After the trial, Wald and others were sentenced to several months in prison, suspended for one year, and all of them were deported and consulates were banned.
It is famous that after Wald and others left our country, the people of the whole country were happy"Wald Affair".
This incident has also made the whole world see that our country is rising, and we will not allow anyone to bully our citizens!
